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

Ji Changming was also completely bewildered when he received Li Dakang's call, but since the other party was a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, he couldn't make a scene.

"Secretary Dakang, have you heard something?" Ji Changming knew about Cai Chenggong's report against Ouyang Jing.

However, without concrete evidence, their anti-corruption bureau shouldn't be taking any action yet.

"What do you mean, 'What did you hear?' Your men took Ouyang Jing from my car."

"The police cars chased us all the way to the highway and set up a roadblock at the highway entrance. Five cars surrounded us, just like in an American blockbuster."

"Is this a law enforcement operation, or a political performance?"

Upon hearing Li Dakang's roar, Ji Changming almost blurted out "Damn it!" in his mind.

No wonder all the cars in the yard left earlier; they were off doing something important.

When Lu Yike said she was catching a little radish head, she was referring to Ouyang Jing, that radish!

Damn it, these little brats are messing with this old man, Ji, again.

"Secretary Li, I can tell you responsibly that I am not aware of this matter you are talking about." Ji Changming stood up directly.

"As for whether the evidence against Ouyang Jing is conclusive or not, they didn't report it to me."

"I'm going to die!" Ji Changming quickly tried to distance himself from the situation.

"I cannot make a judgment on the nature of this incident at this time."

"But Secretary Li, they stopped Ms. Ouyang Jing at the airport tollbooth, right?"

"I'd like to ask you, is she planning to leave the country?"

"If that were the case, I would also try to stop it."

He thought Hou Liangping and Lu Yike had caused a huge disaster, and his Heavenly Gang Boy Skill almost went berserk.

He knew that Hou Liangping and Lu Yike were difficult to manage, but he never expected that these people would repeatedly challenge his blood pressure with their actions.

However, after calming down, Ji Changming discovered the crux of the matter: why did they stop Ouyang Jing at the airport toll booth?

Is Ouyang Jing trying to run away?

If that's the case, then the actions of those two brats are understandable; it's just that Li Dakang might lose face.

Ji Changming wasn't stupid; he deflected Li Dakang's questioning with a few words.

"Even if it's to prevent Ouyang Jing from leaving the country."

Li Dakang knew that what the other party did might not be a big problem, but he was still very angry.

"You anti-corruption bureau comrades, without even consulting me, intercepted the car of a provincial party committee member on the highway?"

"Chief Prosecutor Ji, Jingzhou is the provincial capital, and the airport expressway is a key transportation route. How many ordinary people have seen it?"

"What will they think? A provincial party committee member's car being stopped at the airport tollbooth—won't people think I, Li Dakang, am in trouble and trying to flee?"

"Have you considered the political implications? Have you considered the impact this will have on me, Li Dakang?"

"Secretary Li," Ji Changming's voice still sounded very humble.

"Please calm down. I completely understand your feelings and I know that this matter has had a certain impact on you personally and on the officialdom of Jingzhou."

"However, it is precisely because of the potential impact that we had to take measures before Ouyang Jing left the country."

"If she really boarded the plane with problems, and we hold her accountable then, the impact on you, Secretary Li, will only be greater."

"Think about it, after all, this is a ride to the airport in your own private car."

"If something really happens to Ouyang Jing, then Secretary Li, your actions today will be hard to explain."

"Secretary Li, I hope you can understand that this is not targeting you, but simply acting in accordance with the law."

Li Dakang remained silent for a few seconds.

The only sound on the phone was the faint hiss of electricity. "Okay, we'll proceed according to the law."

His tone suddenly became flat, so flat it was almost eerie.

"Then please remember these four words, Chief Prosecutor Ji: act in accordance with the law and give my ex-wife justice."

"Don't be influenced by certain individuals or small groups. That's my attitude, Li Dakang."

Li Dakang emphasized the words "ex-wife," indicating that Ouyang Jing had already divorced him and that he shouldn't be dragged into any trouble.

Ji Changming understood. Hearing Li Dakang's words, he was a little suspicious. The two of them were getting a divorce? When did they get divorced?

However, this is not the time to dwell on this. He should think about how to reduce the impact of Hou Liangping and Lu Yike's actions.

Ji Changming quickly nodded and said, "Secretary Li, please rest assured that the Provincial Procuratorate and the Anti-Corruption Bureau will absolutely enforce the law impartially and seek truth from facts, and will not be affected in any way."

"We will definitely investigate the facts, restore the truth, and give an explanation to the organization, the parties involved, Secretary Li, and the public."

Ji Changming wanted to explain a few more words, but before he could open his mouth, Li Dakang hung up the phone, leaving Ji Changming feeling somewhat frustrated.

"Get Hou Liangping and Lu Yike here right now. Whatever they're doing, order them to my office!"

Ji Changming was yelled at by Li Dakang, so he had to call the two of them over to give them a lecture, otherwise he would be unable to vent his anger.

......

After hanging up Ji Changming's call, Li Dakang took out another old-fashioned cell phone from a hidden compartment in his briefcase.

"Hey, find out what Hou Liangping has been up to these past few days. What has he done? Who has he met? Find out everything!"

Shortly after, Li Dakang's phone vibrated.

He opened his phone with a gloomy face, and after looking at it for a while, his expression darkened even more.

Qi Tongwei hosted a welcome banquet for Hou Liangping at the Shanshui Manor, and it was quite a grand affair.

Afterwards, Hou Liangping also went to the No. 3 compound of the Provincial Party Committee to visit Gao Yuliang.

All the clues connected, forming a complete logical loop in Li Dakang's mind.

Li Dakang realized that this farce of highway interception was not a simple, normal case handling at all.

This was a meticulously planned and highly targeted political attack!

As for who it was targeting, it goes without saying that it was Li Dakang.

The wife of a provincial standing committee member and secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee embezzled a mere two million yuan.

I'm not afraid of being laughed at if I told anyone.

As for who was targeting him, Li Dakang naturally knew.

Without Gao Yuliang's support, would two division-level cadres dare to intercept Li Dakang's official car? That would be outrageous.

Since you, Gao Yuliang, were unrighteous first, don't blame me, Li Dakang, for being unjust later.

In the power struggles of officialdom, it has always been a back-and-forth affair, a battle for every inch of ground.

You dare to use factional power and send a newcomer to slap me, Li Dakang, in the face and ruin my reputation? I, Li Dakang, am not someone to be trifled with.

Back in the municipal party committee office, Li Dakang, with a gloomy expression, told Xiao Jin to leave.

The screen glowed faintly, illuminating his cold, deep, and emotionless profile.

He believed he had given Gao Yuliang's Han Dabang enough respect.

But today, every concession has only resulted in constant pressure, and restraint has only led to deliberate public humiliation.

Since the situation can no longer be de-escalated, let us begin the formal war from this moment on.
