In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

Detention room of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Tian Guofu, who had finally made a breakthrough, took a short rest in his office, but when he opened his eyes again, he felt like the sky had fallen.

Fang Denggao brought over a person covered in blood, whose thighs and buttocks were peeling from being dragged all the way, and who was clutching his chest and crying out in pain. They had no choice but to arrange for him to be sent to the hospital for examination.

Good guy!

Five ribs were broken, and there was a minor fracture in the left leg. Not to mention the scraped skin, the injuries didn't seem serious, but Tian Guofu couldn't bring himself to say it was anything serious either, after glancing at the person half-wrapped up like a mummy.

How cruel!

Those bastards in the provincial government clique are ruthless not only to their opponents, but also to their own people.

This is Liu Changsheng's precious son!

"Comrade Ryan, are you sure you can still answer questions?"

Tian Guofu confirmed.

"Secretary Tian, ​​I can do it."

Liu Ruian hissed occasionally, answering firmly. If he dared to leave the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection unscathed today, Brother Fang and Brother Lin would definitely send him straight to the underworld.

"Secretary Tian, ​​I want to report this."

Liu Ruian shouted, "I want to report Jiangdong Xunyang Biotechnology for colluding with Liu Sheng, a political reporter from Gangcheng Jingjian Weekly, to set up a scheme to lure me into a trap with shares, and then use my father's influence to seek protection for their illegal activities, including those of Si Tianyu and Qian Laizhi."

What!

Tian Guofu's eyes widened; Liu Changsheng was involved in this whole affair.

I understand.

His gaze swept over the mummy opposite him. This kind of unfilial son deserves a beating, ugh, this is called profound paternal love education.

"As you say."

Tian Guofu frowned again and asked, "The criminals who corrupted you are Liu Sheng in Hong Kong and a middle-aged man whom we have never met, let's call him Mr. Bo. However, according to the business registration information we found, the actual controller of Xunyang Biotechnology Company is Mi Li, a 32-year-old overseas returnee with a PhD in biology."

"The company's core product development direction is based on Milie's thesis results during her studies abroad."

"None of the other companies have a Mr. Bo."

Liu Ruian immediately shook his head, "I'm pretty sure I've never seen any Mi Li."

"Mr. Liu told me that Mr. Bo was the big boss behind the scenes, and everyone else was just working for him."

"Furthermore, the company executives I met during my visit were all very respectful to me. If there isn't such a connected person, it's impossible that these companies were all putting on an act for me, right?"

acting!

Tian Guofu grasped the meaning of this word and connected it with his previous guess: the mysterious man hiding behind Qian Laizhi, Cao Minde and others was in Jiangdong.

Although Qian Laizhi pretended to be shocked, his momentary reaction did not lie.

The gentleman may not have actually summoned Qian Laizhi, but who is Qian Laizhi? How could an imitator who takes that disgusting Gao Yuliang as his role model hand over all the initiative? He must have investigated the other party's identity in private.

and…

It's very likely that it has already been found.

As for why this speculation exists?

Because the resources invested in Cao Minde's political projects are not large and are scattered, without a real controller present to oversee them at all times, it is easy for a loophole to appear in a certain link, which could then cause a chain reaction of explosions.

In addition, there is also the deduction based on Qian Laizhi's discovery of the mastermind's identity.

Qian Laizhi's influence was limited to Jiangdong. The only places he could investigate were in Jiangdong, and at most, the surrounding cities.

But now Tian Guofu has a third piece of evidence:

Liu Sheng and the mysterious man tried every means to entangle Liu Ruian in their scheme. Even though they wanted to hide their identities and avoid meeting him directly, they couldn't be sure that Liu Ruian could be used by them without seeing him in person.

and so…

Liu Ruian must have unconsciously met that man, and may even have had an in-depth conversation with him, thus uncovering his true thoughts.

So, this mysterious gentleman…

Tian Guofu took a new pen and paper and copied down the names of the key personnel of the companies that Liu Ruian had met during his previous visits. He was sure that the person was among them.

Now there's only one thing to do: investigate! Investigate them one by one!

"Comrade Ryan, your conversation will end here for now."

Tian Guofu sent a confidential message directly to Qin Zhuofeng at the front line: "As for whether Governor Liu was involved, I will go through the procedures to report to the higher-level discipline inspection commission."

"Who are you investigating?"

Lü Liang was completely bewildered, not understanding why the wild monkey opposite him had gone crazy upon seeing the list on the slip of paper. He stared blankly down at the circled names.

It's becoming increasingly unbelievable.

Are you sure it's him?

Lü Liang confirmed.

Hou Liangping's face flushed an unnatural red, whether from coughing or excessive excitement, it was hard to tell. He placed his hands on the table, exuding an air of authority, and declared, "I'm certain! I couldn't be more certain."

Hou Liangping pulled out another slip of paper from his notebook, the one containing Si Tianyu's interpersonal relationships and two surnames.

Lü Liang seemed to have been struck by lightning, his meridians suddenly opened, and a look of understanding appeared on his face. But he quickly shook his head, "But this cannot be used as evidence, and it is even difficult to make sense logically."

"That's not enough, what if we add these..."

Hou Liangping then pulled out a stack of materials compiled and sent by various units, including the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's confession regarding Qian Laizhi's guilty plea, the information sheet of Mi Li from Xunyang Biotechnology, and detailed investigation records of charitable foundations and other institutions that Liu Ruian had visited.

Based on the rich experience of a veteran prosecutor, Lü Liang had an invisible thread in his mind that connected all the evidence he had at hand.

This!

Lü Liang glanced at Hou Liangping in shock. Despite not being fully recovered, Hou Liangping had managed to sort out the chaotic situation in Jiangdong, far away in Hanbei, in just one day and one night in this office.

No wonder Executive Director Lin went to the hospital and forcibly brought the person out. He thought he was sending him to test the waters, but he never expected the other party to be so capable.

No wonder he could be so arrogant in the Anti-Corruption Bureau for twenty years, no wonder he was chosen by Chung Siu-ai to become the Chung family's son-in-law.

"If that's not enough, I believe Comrade Wang Jun and his team can quickly find this mysterious man by following the funding trail."

Hou Liangping's face was full of smugness. He cast a disdainful glance at Lü Liang and chuckled. "You have no idea what kind of grand promises Executive Director Lin has made for me. I'm going all out this time. Anyone who dares to stand in my way will die."

"Besides, my teacher Gao and senior Qi are both in Jiangdong. They are not easy to fool. These little demons and monsters weave their webs everywhere, but little do they know that by following every single spider silk, they can find the spider itself."

"Prosecutor Lü, you just wait and see?"

"They might give you three pieces of irrefutable evidence this time, or even more. Secretary Qin of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is no pushover."

Hou Liangping hummed a tune contentedly, plopped down in his office chair, and casually pushed the report containing the investigation of Liu Sheng away a bit. "Prosecutor Lü, don't bring this kind of thing into my office next time. I want to live a few more years."
