Nominal: The Handong Game, the Energy System's Counterattack

Cheng Du graduated from Handong University and has been in Jingzhou for many years, so he naturally knows about Lu Yike's family situation.

Previously, as the director of the Guangming District Public Security Bureau, he had also cooperated with the Anti-Corruption Bureau and was already familiar with Lu Yike and his team's work style.

Therefore, after he arrived, he maintained a very friendly attitude towards Hou Liangping and Lu Yike.

However, the attitudes of Hou Liangping and Lu Yike angered Cheng Du.

If they don't appreciate my kindness, then I won't give it to them anymore.

"Oh, right." Cheng Du seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead.

"I heard that your provincial procuratorate is currently conducting that 'Special Education and Rectification Campaign to Promote Reform and Warn Against Corruption Through Cases, and to Improve Discipline and Work Style,' right?"

"I saw it on TV; it seems the provincial procuratorate held a 'special training course on discipline and work style rectification'?"

"Director Hou, Director Lu, I heard you two are both students in the training program?"

"You guys are really making waves lately."

"When our Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau's Party Committee holds meetings, the leaders always use you as examples."

"I heard that training course has been focusing on reviewing regulations and procedures lately. You two should know more about them than I do, right?"

"Why now...?"

Cheng Du spread his hands, looked at Hou Liangping, then at Lu Yike, and shook his head.

"It seems that this 'Special Discipline and Work Style Rectification Training Class' has not been very effective."

He went straight for them and unleashed his ultimate attack, launching a barrage of taunts at them.

I give you a smile, but you think I'm easy to bully?

Are you trying to intimidate me by using Secretary Sha as leverage? I'm not without support now.

We call you section chiefs, and you think you really are section chiefs?

Everyone knows that you two are both deputy division chiefs now, while he is a full division chief! A full division chief in name and in fact, you know that.

The area around the Guangming District Police Station is Cheng Du's territory.

He used to be extremely careful in his actions, and he wouldn't dare to be anything less than polite to someone like Lu Yike.

He's being polite to them now because he's being courteous.

They're so ungrateful. Do they think he used to be someone who could be trampled on by anyone?

At my current level, I feel that as long as I behave properly, I won't be sullen in front of anyone.

Hou Liangping and Lu Yike still wanted to use Secretary Sha to pressure him, but who would believe empty words?

He launched into a barrage of sarcastic remarks, leaving Hou Liangping and Lu Yike red-faced with anger.

Hou Liangping was speechless, pointing at Cheng Du: "You, Cheng Du! You don't know what's good for you! You..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw two police officers rush up from behind Cheng Du, staring intently at him. Hou Liangping swallowed his words.

"Hmm? Deputy Director Hou, I advise you to watch your words and actions, and not to be mischievous..."

Cheng Du narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to stop his two subordinates who were about to attack, and spoke in a threatening tone.

When Hou Liangping pointed at him, Cheng Du almost instinctively threw him over his shoulder.

Fortunately, his status was different now, so he wasn't as impulsive and even blocked his men who rushed at him.

"Hou Liangping!" Seeing that things were not going well, Lu Yike shouted at Hou Liangping and pressed down Hou Liangping's hand that was pointing at Chengdu.

Seeing the murderous look in Cheng Du's eyes, and the two police officers behind him staring at Hou Liangping, she knew that if she continued to make trouble, the two of them would only become more embarrassed.

She took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth to Cheng Du, "Director Cheng Du, thank you for reminding me."

"We made a mistake with the paperwork. We'll go back first today, complete the paperwork, and come back later. Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, she pulled Hou Liangping, who was still stubbornly refusing to move, and turned to leave.

Hou Liangping was pulled by Lu Yike, and he turned around and glared at Cheng Du indignantly.

"Alright, Director Cheng." Hou Liangping's voice turned cold. "That's all for today. I'll send over the official letter. I'll see Cai Chenggong sooner or later."

Cheng Du stood still, his humble smile returning to his face.

He bowed slightly and gestured for them to proceed: "Please take your time. We welcome comrades from the Provincial Procuratorate to visit and provide guidance at any time, following due procedures."

Back in the car, Hou Liangping slammed his fist on the steering wheel, and the horn blared.

"Outrageous! A mere district police chief dares to be so arrogant!"

"Just wait, I'll have Qi Tongwei deal with him later!"

Hou Liangping angrily started the car and drove away from the detention center.

Lu Yike then said coldly, "Hou Liangping, wake up! What kind of behavior were you just now?"

"Is this how you've always handled cases? Does this sound like a prosecutor?"

"Do you act like a detective chief? That's just thuggish behavior!"

"Du Cheng is right, rules are rules."

"We didn't bring any paperwork, so he's in the right."

"He's still the head of a district branch? He's currently the deputy head of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau and the head of the Guangming District Branch, a full-fledged division-level position, half a rank higher than both of us."

"His attitude today was quite respectful to us."

"What's the point of bringing up Qi Tongwei and Secretary Sha, other than making us look guilty and impatient?"

"You really want to make a big fuss and prevent us from graduating from the training course, don't you?"

Hou Liangping's anger subsided considerably after Lu Yike's sharp rebuke.

But still unable to save face, she muttered, "I... I was just worried about Chen Hai's matter, this is clearly deliberate harassment!"

"What 'rules' and 'discipline'? They just don't want us to meet Tsai Cheng-cheng."

Whether it's deliberately making things difficult is another matter.

"But he has the advantage of compliance, so we're in the wrong." Lu Yike was also in a bad mood.

Last time, they were about to take Cai Chenggong away, but Zhao Donglai from the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau stopped them.

This time, when they came to interrogate Tsai Cheng-cheng, they were once again turned away by Cheng Du.

She couldn't understand why, when she was handling cases in the past, everyone would give her preferential treatment.

Why are things I used to be able to do repeatedly failing lately?

The more Lu Yike didn't want them to interrogate Cai Chenggong, the more eager she became to do so.

"Cheng Du's attitude today was indeed problematic. His blocking us doesn't necessarily mean he has any vested interest in Tsai Ing-wen."

"But there are definitely people who don't want us to interrogate Tsai Cheng-cheng so soon."

"Chengdu is just a district public security bureau chief. If he didn't listen to anyone, he wouldn't have to stand up to us."

A string of names flashed through Hou Liangping's mind, and finally he quickly thought of one person.

When he stopped at the traffic light, he looked at Lu Yike.

Lu Yike nodded: "Last time when we went to interrogate Cai Chenggong, Zhao Donglai from the Municipal Bureau personally came forward to try and take him away from us."

"Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou?" Hou Liangping asked.

"Zhao Donglai is Li Dakang's man, but Li Dakang himself is already overwhelmed with problems, how could he possibly have the time to care about Cai Chenggong?"

The aftermath meeting of the No. 116 wind power plant in Jingzhou has been widely discussed, and Li Dakang is not having an easy time now.

"It's precisely because Li Dakang is in a bad situation right now that we can't let Cai Chenggong say anything that would be detrimental to him." Lu Yike narrowed her eyes.

Hou Liangping thought of the name Cai Chenggong had revealed and realized that Lu Yike was right.

However, the thought that Li Dakang might be involved made Hou Liangping even more excited and eager to see Cai Chenggong.

"I'll go see the seasonal inspector tomorrow and get the paperwork done," Hou Liangping encouraged himself.

"Official letter, interrogation warrant, everything that needs to be prepared, what else is there to say?"
