Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

Cao Xu approached Li Huaide with two slips of paper and said coldly.

“Li Huaide, you are hiding gold and bribing security officers with ulterior motives.”

"According to the emergency handling regulations of the steel rolling mill security department, I can take you into custody and interrogate you right now. Do you still think I can't handle you?"

Li Huaide struggled on the ground.

"Cao Xu, you are despicable, you are shameless!"

"Sun Guofu, are you just going to stand by and watch Cao Xu act recklessly?"

"If you use your discretion to arrest me, have you thought about the consequences? Do you really want to stay in the position of head of the security department until retirement?"

Sun Guofu was still in shock, his heart pounding. He wouldn't have believed it was real if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Although the power of ad hoc decision-making existed, the steel rolling mill had never used it before Cao Xu.

Cao Xu has only been in the security department for two months, but he has already been used twice. The first time was in the pork case, and the second time is in the current Li Huaide case.

Because the incident involved the entire factory and a bureau leader spoke up, he dared to take the blame for Cao Xu.

Now that the old story has barely faded, a new one is already being set up. This Cao Xu is truly a jinx.

But with all this evidence before him, he had no choice but to take the blame for Cao Xu.

Forget it, I was originally thinking about how to embarrass Li Huaide and get revenge for the humiliation he caused me yesterday.

Now that Cao Xu has already set up the stage, it wouldn't hurt for him to go up and sing a couple of lines.

His current detention of Li Huaide is out of necessity, and Li Huaide must be well aware of this.

He deserves credit for uncovering the problem, but if Li Huaide seeks revenge after his release, it will be against Cao Xu, not him.

Of course he knew Li Huaide had problems, but based on what he had found so far, Li Huaide's father-in-law could still get him out of trouble.

At worst, he could just leave the steel mill, and his father-in-law could transfer him to a smaller factory where he could continue living a carefree life.

Seeing that Sun Guofu remained silent, Xia Jie looked at Li Huaide with disdain.

"Director Sun, if you feel there's anything inappropriate, then I'll handle the detention procedures."

Seeing his new deputy so eager to curry favor with Cao Xu, Sun Guofu felt a little flustered.

Although Cao Xu likes to cause trouble, he is still a likable person. He is more tactful and easier to get along with than his father.

He couldn't possibly hand over such an assistant to Xia Jie.

If she gets Cao Xu's help, she will surely be able to gain a foothold in the security department in no time, which is not what he wants to see.

“Deputy Director Xia, now that I know about this matter, why do I need you to step in? Wouldn’t that make me, Sun Guofu, look like I’m lacking in responsibility?”

After making a seemingly innocuous remark, Sun Guofu looked at Li Huaide.

"Deputy Factory Director Li, you don't need to worry about my future."

"What you need to do now is cooperate with the security department and go to the interrogation room to explain the mistakes you made today."

When Cao Xu saw Sun Guofu step forward, a smile appeared on his lips; the deal was done.

Once Sun Guofu was involved, he had no choice but to do what was required. He thought that detaining Li Huaide was a trap set for him.

Little did he know that he had prepared a second scapegoat for him, ten times bigger than the current one.

"Cheng Yuan, what are you standing there for? Didn't you hear what Director Sun said?"

"Take Deputy Factory Director Li back to the Security Section's interrogation room now and immediately begin the interrogation process. You will personally be in charge of the interrogation."

As soon as Cao Xu finished speaking, Cheng Yuan immediately called people in to put Li Huaide back in handcuffs and take him away.

Sun Guofu looked at Li Huaide, who was struggling in every way, and felt a little sorry for him.

"Cao Xu, should we tell him to put his clothes on first?"

Cao Xu smiled.

"Director, you're really kind, but let's just forget about it."

"Since he can do such a shameful and disgraceful thing in the steel rolling mill office, why should we give him face?"

Seeing Li Huaide shouting and cursing incessantly, Cheng Yuan went to the corner, grabbed a rag, and stuffed it into Li Huaide's mouth.

Li Huaide was taken away by the security department, and Liu Lan followed him. Wang Youyu, the director of the personnel department, arrived late.

Wang Youyu was astonished to see Li Huaide being taken away by Cheng Yuan. He didn't care about appearances and ran to Cao Xu.

"Director Sun, what exactly happened? Why did your security department arrest Li Huaide?"

Although Wang Youyu disliked Li Huaide's behavior yesterday, Sun Guofu's behavior today also angered him greatly.

· ·······Requesting flowers···· ······

"Now your security department is increasingly disregarding me, the head of the personnel department. You didn't even inform me before arresting the factory's cadres!"

Sun Guofu pointed to Cao Xu standing to the side and said,

"Director Wang, please don't get angry at me."

"Yesterday, I reported Qin Huairu's matter to the deputy factory director in charge in accordance with the rules, and I did not cross the line."

“It was Li Huaide who arbitrarily dismissed the factory workers. It has nothing to do with me. You can’t hold me responsible for this.”

"As for me today, I'm just a figurehead. You should ask your nephew for details."

Wang Youyu realized that the person who had just escorted Li Huaide away was Cheng Yuan, and Cheng Yuan was a staunch supporter of Cao Xu.

His gaze fell on Cao Xu, and he asked with a suspicious look.

"Cao Xu, what's going on? Did you order the arrest?"

Cao Xu ushered Wang Youyu into the office, pointed to the five large yellow croakers and three hundred yuan in cash on the table, and then took out two slips of paper and handed them to Wang Youyu.

"Director Wang, please take a look yourself."

Wang Youyu took the note and began to read it. As the person in charge of personnel, he naturally recognized Li Huaide's handwriting.

After reading it, he inquired about the specific details of the incident. After a moment's thought, he looked at Cao Xu and gave him a reminder.

"Cao Xu, I must remind you, even if you verify what happened today, the most you can do is get Li Huaide removed from the steel rolling mill."

"If his father-in-law had done some work, he could have simply been transferred to another position."

"Have you thought about how you'll deal with his retaliation afterward?"

Cao Xu said calmly.

“No one here is an outsider. Director Sun was tricked by him, and Director Wang, you were also set up by him.”

"You two know me to some extent; I always plan things out before I act."

"Since I made Director Sun risk being detained at his post to issue this detention order, how can I give him a chance to retaliate?"

【Inner duct cluster (qi liu san si ba ling yi wu qi)】

Sun Guofu asked, puzzled.

"What else are you going to do?"

Cao Xu took out a piece of paper that he had prepared in advance and handed it to Sun Guofu.

"I need your signature, Director Sun."

Sun Guofu took the paper from Cao Xu with a puzzled look on his face, and his expression changed drastically after reading it.

Seeing that Sun Guofu's expression was off, Wang Youyu walked over and looked at the documents in his hand.

The words "search warrant" appeared in Wang Youyu's eyes, and his face quickly turned grim.

"Cao Xu, do you want to raid Li Huaide's house?"

Cao Xu smiled calmly.

“That’s right, I’m going to raid Li Huaide’s house.”

"Using the power of discretion to detain him is merely a means; confiscating his property is the ultimate goal of this operation!"

After Cao Xu finished speaking, apart from Xia Jie, who already knew about the plan, Wang Youyu and Sun Guofu were all unsettled.

The fact that a search is equivalent to confiscating property is an open secret; Cao Xu's purpose was not to suppress Li Huaide at all.

He's trying to uproot Li Huaide completely and condemn him to eternal damnation.

Cao Xu was just a twenty-year-old newcomer; they had always thought he was just taking advantage of his previous opportunities and achievements.

With the help of Wang Youyu and Sun Guofu, he was able to get the position of head of the security department.

But the cunning, methods, and courage that Cao Xu displayed today shocked the two of them.

In order to deal with Li Huaide, he dragged all the factory leaders, including the factory director, onto his ship, leaving them unable to get off or back.

Wang Youyu was well aware of the drawbacks of doing so, and after regaining his senses, he immediately tried to dissuade him.
