"You're covering for him. Did you take bribes to prevent me from investigating Cai Chenggong? I'll call Qi Tongwei later and see how he deals with you."

The director was furious. He had followed the organizational procedures, yet he was accused of covering up a crime. He thought the director was going to play such a big game. He was now fearless. "Director Hou, stop yelling here. I followed the organizational procedures. If you want to investigate, bring me the coordination documents from the procuratorate. If you don't have them and continue to make trouble like this, I'll have you thrown out."

Hou Liangping was furious. "I didn't even pay for my meal (Chen Hai paid the bill), and you, a station chief, are yelling at me like that? This is outrageous!" He picked up the phone and called Qi Tongwei. "Hey, senior brother, this is Hou Liangping. I want to interrogate Cai Chenggong, but they won't let me. Can you help me coordinate something?"

Upon hearing the caller's voice, Qi Tongwei said indifferently to Hou Liangping, "Liangping, we're from the public security department, not the prison system. They're under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice. You need to coordinate with the Department of Justice on behalf of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau. Only with the Department of Justice's approval can you be allowed to interrogate Cai Chenggong."

Thinking of this, Hou Liangping was extremely frustrated and could only return to the Anti-Corruption Bureau to report with a sullen face. Hou Liangping was quite audacious; he hadn't even reported for duty yet, but he already wanted to exercise the power of the Anti-Corruption Bureau Director.

He walked straight into Ji Changming's office without knocking and said, "Old Ji, I'm here to report to you."

Ji Changming was a kind-hearted man. Seeing Hou Liangping's rudeness, he greeted him with a smile. What could he do? Hou Liangping was the Zhong family's son-in-law. "Liangping, you're here. Sit down and talk. You're here to report, right? How is Old Master Zhong?"

Hou Liangping sat down casually. "Old Ji, my father-in-law is in good health, very well. Old Ji, I want to interrogate Cai Chenggong, could you help me coordinate that?"

"You just arrived, shouldn't you rest a bit? There's no rush tomorrow, and it takes time for us to coordinate."

"Okay, hurry up and get it done for me. I'm waiting to interrogate Cai Chenggong." After saying that, Hou Liangping walked out of the chief prosecutor's office without saying goodbye.

As soon as Hou Liangping stepped out of the office, Ji Changming's face darkened. "He's just a gigolo, what's with all the swagger?"

Hou Liangping arrived at his office and immediately called a meeting with his subordinates. "Hello, comrades, I'm now your new anti-corruption bureau chief." Lu Yike was furious upon hearing this and immediately retorted, "Isn't this Director Hou? Where's your brother Chen Hai? He disappeared when I came to pick you up."

Hou Liangping couldn't stand this and immediately said, "Lu Yike, be mindful of your position. I am your superior."

"Hou Liangping, I only said a few words to you because you're my superior. If you weren't, I would have beaten you up. Look at Chen Hai, he followed your orders to arrest people, and he got such a big punishment. And you just took his place. Chen Hai is really unlucky to have a friend like you." After saying that, Lu Yike walked out of the office, and the rest of the people immediately followed.

Hou Liangping could only rage helplessly. After all, he was in the wrong, and the people in the Anti-Corruption Bureau all had powerful connections. If he offended them, it would be difficult for him to survive there.

Lin Huahua caught up with Lu Yike and said, "Director Lu, you're still too reckless. Be careful he doesn't make things difficult for you."

"He wouldn't dare! He dares to make things difficult for me. Just wait and see if I don't teach him a lesson."
