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

"Director Han, Captain Wang, I'm entrusting these two tasks to you two."

Wang Fangqi said solemnly.

He didn't know what was special about this case, but judging from Qi Tongwei's secretive actions, he sensed danger and thus gave him repeated instructions.

Of course, this was said to Wang Bo.

And Han Shiwei…

Although the two are of the same rank and are not under each other's supervision, the other party is at least a deputy director-general, so I can't say that to him, because he won't listen anyway.

However, if you dare to do something wrong.

Director Qi and Executive Director Lin are not to be trifled with either.

Han Shiwei nodded in agreement. This was the division of labor arranged by Qi Tongwei, and he couldn't possibly refuse. Otherwise, the other party could forcibly transfer him back with just a word.

Wang Bo looked miserable.

Knowing the situation was so complicated, he shouldn't have accepted Han Shiwei's invitation to come this morning; he was careless and didn't dodge.

The two led the team away.

"Old Yang, Old Zhang, you two stand guard at the door. Don't let anyone in without my permission. Xiao Lu, Xiao Han, you two thoroughly clean up the office to prevent it from being monitored."

Wang Fangqi quickly issued instructions to the provincial department cadres he had brought with him. The municipal bureau seemed very law-abiding, but with Wang Ping'an in the past, he couldn't trust them at all.

Although he didn't think the other party had the guts.

"Yes, Captain Wang."

The four of them quickly got to work, while Wang Fangqi watched quietly.

drop!drop!

A loud, jarring sound suddenly shattered the silence in the office.

Xiao Han pulled out a listening device the size of a fingernail from the filing cabinet. Before he could even get angry, Xiao Lu immediately pulled out a second listening device from the side of the desk cabinet.

Wang Fangqi's face was ashen.

They actually dared to! They actually dared to eavesdrop on the operations of the special task force sent down by the provincial department!

Raging fury!

It almost burned the beating heart in my chest to ashes.

"Captain Wang, calm down."

Deputy Captain Lin Jianjie pulled back Wang Fangqi, who was about to explode, and reassured him, "This is most likely not someone eavesdropping on us..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fangqi gradually suppressed his anger and realized that this was... the office of Feng Yang, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

The original intention was to have the Municipal Bureau arrange a slightly larger conference room as the command center, since a large number of people had been brought from the Provincial Department this time, totaling seventeen people excluding Han Shiwei and Wang Bo.

Unfortunately, the largest conference room was under renovation.

To show his worth, Feng Yang simply offered up his office, clearing it out immediately.

"Director Feng knows we are skeptical and there's no need for us to take the risk, so it's highly likely that it existed before."

Lin Jianjie continued.

"Captain Wang, Captain Lin, judging from the dust on the two listening devices, they should have been left for about two weeks."

"And the installation site shows signs of age."

"It seems that they were replaced regularly. Although only two listening devices were found, there are traces of their history in many places."

Officer Han reported to the supervisor.

"How ridiculous!"

Wang Fangqi's anger only intensified; the fact that a municipal bureau chief could be wiretapped for so long without anyone noticing was outrageous.

"Hand them over to Director Feng."

Wang Fangqi said quietly, "Let's see how Feng Yang reacts. Is he just putting on an act, or has he really fallen for it? If it's the latter, Feng Yang will investigate on his own."

"At the same time, we must remain vigilant and pay attention to safety."

Wang Fangqi gave his instructions.

Diaozhou is amazing!

They had only been there for less than half an hour when they were dealt a heavy blow.

"clear!"

Provincial officials responded in unison.

Let's take a look together.

Wang Fangqi laid out the preliminary investigation summary documents from the provincial department on the table, highlighting five main anomalies:

Firstly, racing clubs.

On the surface, it is composed of a group of spoiled young men, but the actual controller is Feng Beibei, the son of Feng Baoyi, the mayor of Diaozhou, who cannot be found on the shareholder list.

Feng Beibei is passionate about racing, but she cannot own one due to her social status. What seems like a playboy's game is actually all for the benefit of one person.

The club frequently blocked roads illegally without reporting them, and held high-stakes competitions, causing several incidents. However, each time someone volunteered to take the blame, and the club never got the real key information.

Secondly, luxury yachts on Crescent Lake.

Also serving only Feng Beibei, they used the yacht's secrecy to enjoy a lavish lifestyle that couldn't be seen in the light of day. Every time Feng Beibei came down from the yacht, she was unusually hot-tempered, as if she couldn't accept an ordinary, mundane life. She got into fights and vandalized people on multiple occasions, and Feng Baoyi, the liaison officer, had to intervene and take the people away openly on several occasions.

Thirdly, the Laser Tag Club.

Still serving Feng Beibei, the club had low approval requirements and mainly used simulated laser tag guns and laser guns to simulate live-action CS. However, some people reported that they heard real gunshots near the club, but the city bureau's investigation was fruitless and no case was filed, so the matter was eventually dropped.

Fourth, the Ling Chamber of Commerce.

The newly formed chamber of commerce, established by a group of local entrepreneurs in Diaozhou, is unusually united. On the surface, they help each other, overcome the market downturn, and achieve greater development. In reality, the members' identities highly overlap with those of the playboys who accompany Feng Beibei. They are very cooperative with the projects advocated by Feng Baoyi, and vice versa.

Fifth, the bank savings rate is abnormal.

In the entire province of Handong, the residents' savings rate, from lowest to highest, has always been Jingzhou, Lüzhou, Hannan, Hanzhong, and Hanbei.

The savings rate is closely related to the local economy. Generally speaking, the better the economy, the higher the consumption, and the more people tend to diversify their financial management, the lower the savings rate, which is conducive to the flow of funds.

However, the savings rate in Diaozhou was even lower than that in Jingzhou (34%), reaching a terrifying 30%, a full four percentage points lower.

Assuming other conditions remain largely unchanged, this means that something has massively siphoned off residents' savings.

But Diaozhou was eerily quiet.

The child must be up to no good.

Unlike platform companies that cause a huge uproar and become widely known, this is both a good and a bad thing. It's good that there's no collapse, but it's bad that savings are still being frantically sucked up.

"Captain Wang, the companies associated with these spoiled brats must be investigated!"

Lin Jianjie suggested.

It was the first time he had seen the document, but after reading it, he realized the horror behind it.

"Of course they'll investigate."

Wang Fangqi nodded and said, "But it's not just about investigating them."

Ok?

Lin Jianjie was puzzled, as were the other provincial officials. The investigation information was clearly written: as long as evidence of those spoiled brats' illegal and disciplinary violations was found, their companies and Feng Beibei could be investigated, and then Feng Baoyi could be thoroughly investigated.

The route is clear!

"It's too small."

Wang Fangqi shook his head. "The companies associated with these playboys are only mid-to-upper-tier in the entire Diaozhou. The original intention of forming the new chamber of commerce was to help each other. Even if they all joined together, they couldn't control Feng Baoyi."

Lin Jianjie was increasingly puzzled. Wasn't it precisely because of their small size that they needed to band together and seek protection?

Do not!

Wang Fangqi asserted, "It's too calm! Faced with the rise of a group of midstream companies that are growing stronger and taking over market share, the reaction of those large companies is too calm."
