Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

"Oh, Secretary Guofu, get to the point." Zhong Zhengguo was a little sleepy and impatient.

"Chen Shan, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province, has been reported by name. There are videos and photos. Ironclad evidence." Tian Guofu slowed his speech, emphasizing each word. "The whistleblower is Chen Yanshi, Chen Shan's biological father."

His breathing became heavier.

Tian Guofu cleared his throat. "This case involves too many aspects. I am now preparing to report it to the Provincial Party Committee and give a report to Secretary Sha."

"Nonsense!" Chung Cheng-kuo's voice rose eight octaves. "Guo-fu, I have to criticize you! Where have your principles gone? What is the relationship between Sha Rui-jin and the Chen family? They're relatives! Sha Rui-jin must recuse himself from this case!"

That's exactly what Tian Guofu wanted to hear.

With Zhong Zhengguo's endorsement, Tian Guofu was simply following orders when Sha Ruijin investigated the matter later.

"Secretary Zhong, your criticism is correct. It's against the rules to bypass the provincial party secretary to appoint a director-level official," Tian Guofu continued to complain.

The idea was to have Chung Cheng-kuo take the lead.

"Guofu, don't forget that your provincial discipline inspection commission has a dual leadership system."

According to regulations, you should report directly to me. What I mean is, you, Tian Guofu, should personally go and arrest him, and take down Chen Shan as soon as possible.

"Sir, how can I arrest someone without proper procedures? Chen Shan is the director of the Public Security Bureau; he has a gun."

"The electronic approval document will be sent to your confidential email in half an hour." Zhong Zhengguo was also thinking about how to maximize his profits. "Tomorrow morning, I will send Xiao Ai to Handong to personally hand over the documents to you. Xiao Ai will be responsible for bringing Chen Shan back."

This is a cross-regional review.

Unexpectedly, the case completely slipped out of the control of Handong Province and became a case of the Z Discipline Inspection Commission.

"Guofu, you've done a great job this time. You've ignited a fire well." Zhong Zhengguo gave him a reward.

"Boss, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." Tian Guofu hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.

He's guaranteed to achieve his political goals.

Sha Ruijin can only suffer in silence this time.

Chung Cheng-kuo put on his coat and walked out of the bedroom.

I made two phone calls.

The paperwork is already being processed.

Chung Cheng-kuo glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

After waiting and waiting, Zhong Xiaoai finally knocked on the door.

"The door isn't locked, come in."

Zhong Xiaoai entered the room. "Dad, what's the urgent matter that you called me over so late at night? I'm worried about Haoran being home alone."

Zhong Zhengguo gave the order directly, "Xiao Ai, Haoran will follow me from now on."

Pack your bags, we're flying to Handong first thing tomorrow morning.

"What are you going to Handong for?" Zhong Xiaoai asked without even looking up, yawning.

Zhong Zhengguo felt this was a great opportunity, "to handle a case and bring back Chen Shan, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province."

If all goes well, Zhong Xiaoai, the little darling, should be joining the department.

Zhong Xiaoai's fingers stopped.

The phone screen went dark.

"Who?" Zhong Xiaoai was a little skeptical.

"Chen Shan, Chen Yanshi's eldest son," Zhong Zhengguo explained the situation.

"Dad, I don't want to go." Zhong Xiaoai's head was still spinning. "Dad, you should send someone else. Chen Hai and I were college classmates, and Chen Hai and Monkey have always had a good relationship. If I go with the paperwork to arrest his own brother, what will Chen Hai think of me afterward? Will I ever be able to see him again?"

Zhong Zhengguo frowned and stared at Zhong Xiaoai.

"What do you mean by 'suitable' or 'unsuitable'! This is the organization's decision! You have to go, whether you like it or not!" Zhong Zhengguo slammed his fingers heavily on the back of the chair. "Comrade Xiao Ai, you're a discipline inspection cadre! Can't you distinguish between work and personal relationships?"

Zhong Xiaoai covered half of her face.

They remained silent.

I still acted willfully.

"Chen Shan's case is a typical major case that our Z Discipline Inspection Commission is directly handling. Going to Handong now is a meritorious service! Have you thought about how much weight this resume carries in your file? Bring him back to me tomorrow, this is a free achievement. Would I give such a good thing to someone else?" Zhong Zhengguo earnestly persuaded him.

Zhong Xiaoai finally regained consciousness.

Chen Hai's older brother.

Sha Ruijin's godbrother.

This network of relationships is too complicated.

but.

Monkeys are also in Handong.

I haven't seen the monkey for many days, and I miss his kneeling service a bit. The monkey hasn't reported anything for many days either.

This trip to Handong for a mission will give me a chance to see the monkeys.

While we're at it, let's check if this monkey has been involved with any women in Handong.

"Dad, I'll go, okay?" Zhong Xiaoai was really being hypocritical, getting the benefit but still acting innocent.

"Okay, once the formalities are completed, send it to Tian Guofu first. You take the original documents with you tomorrow." Zhong Zhengguo stood up. "Hurry up and book your plane tickets. Don't just stand around. For your vice-ministerial position, you have to work hard."

It really is thanks to feeding.

"Okay, thank you, Dad." Zhong Xiaoai took the phone, opened the ticket booking app, and said, "Let's make this clear first, I'll leave after I arrest them, and I won't be involved in the interrogation."

Zhong Xiaoai wanted to avoid doing the hard work.

"Xiao Ai, okay, as long as you get her out of Handong, it'll be a great achievement for you." Zhong Zhengguo felt that raising a daughter was a losing proposition.

Zhong Xiaoai swiped the screen.

The earliest flight.

It's 6:30 in the morning.

Book tickets.

payment.

Zhong Xiaoai opened the Green Bubble chat app and found Hou Liangping's profile picture.

I want to send a message.

"Please pick me up at Handong Airport tomorrow at noon."

I thought about it.

I typed a few words, then deleted them all.

He patted his face.

"Calm down, calm down."

But my heart still beat a few beats faster.

Zhong Xiaoai stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night view outside.

Tomorrow, she will fly to Handong.

She went to arrest Chen Hai's brother and to see her man.

These two things are mixed together, and it just feels awkward no matter how you look at it.

But as awkward as it may be, the things that need to be done still need to be done.

I finally have the opportunity to join the department.

Many people are destined to have a sleepless night.

Chen Yanshi lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

He wondered if Chen Shan was thinking of him too.

He was still fooling around with Li Shiya.

Or perhaps, they weren't thinking about anything and had already fallen asleep.

Chen Yanshi closed his eyes and sighed, "You bastard."

He turned over and buried his face in the pillow.

Wang Fuzhen, who was next to her, was also awake.

She sat up and flipped through photos of Chen Shan when he was a child.

The little boy in the suit, standing at the entrance of the Children's Palace, smiling and showing off his white teeth.

Now, he's about to be arrested.

If you get caught, you'll have to go in and work on a sewing machine.

Wang Fuzhen wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand and placed her phone face down on the bed.

"Old Chen, do you think what we're doing is the right thing to do?"

There was no response from inside the room.

Chen Yanshi didn't know whether he was right or wrong.

The only sound was the ticking of the wall clock, one tick at a time, like a countdown.

While waiting for the fax, Tian Guofu had already arranged for his various people to join him.

Liu Mingkui, deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Wang Bingbing, director of the First Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Fu Peng, director of the First Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, led teams to places such as the vicinity of the Provincial Public Security Department in Handong, the residential area where Chen Shan lived, and Handong University.

They waited for Tian Guofu's order to go in and search for Chen Shan's whereabouts.

The fax machine kept creaking and rattling.

A sheet of A4 paper, still warm from the heat, was ejected.

Tian Guofu's secretary, Xiao Sun, picked it up and handed it to Tian Guofu.

Tian Guofu folded the fax twice, put it in his suit's inner pocket, and patted his chest.

His phone is off; no one can reach him tonight.

Once inside the temporary command vehicle, Tian Guofu looked at Zhang Shuli and asked, "Comrade Shuli, what do you think of my arrangement? Is there anything I've overlooked?"
