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

"Director Hou, we've probably waded into the wrong waters."

Lin Huahua bit her lip.

"What's going on with the quarterly inspection? We can't find anyone at this crucial moment." Hou Liangping looked up at the lights on the top floor of the Shanshui Group building, and slowly clenched his fist.

Hou Liangping laughed instead, "Fine, if they won't let us in, we'll wait here."

Hou Liangping recalled why he had gotten involved in this mess.

This time I thought of the details myself.

I had the paperwork, but I didn't bring it, so I still suffered a Waterloo.

Is there some explanation for this in Handong?

Nothing goes smoothly.

Hou Liangping got the clue thanks to the business card Zheng Shengli had given him before.

Zheng Shengli was incredibly shrewd. After discussing it with his girlfriend Zhang Baobao, they realized that while everyone else was reporting others to gain merit, they couldn't just sit idly by.

And so.

Hou Liangping received a call from Zheng Shengli.

"Director Hou, I am Zheng Shengli, the son of Zheng Xipo. I want to report Chen Shan."

Upon learning that Zheng Shengli had reported Chen Shan, Hou Liangping drove directly to pick up Zheng Shengli and Zhang Baobao.

The three of them sat in Hou Liangping's office.

Hou Liangping arranged for the finest tea.

After watching the video, Hou Liangping shook hands with Zheng Shengli and said, "Mr. Zheng Shengli and Ms. Zhang Baobao thank you for your contributions. After this is accomplished, I will apply to the Handong Provincial Procuratorate for an award for you."

He made a promise, gave Zheng Shengli 200 yuan for taxi fare, and that was it for the two men.

Hou Liangping's first thought was to find Lao Ji.

Old Ji's character would definitely lead him to consult and report to the Provincial Party Committee.

However, considering the efficiency of the provincial party committee in the Ding Yizhen case...

Hou Liangping decided to seek the necessary paperwork from higher authorities and contacted Qin Siyuan, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

Upon learning that the target was a department-level official, Qin Siyuan did not object; instead, he quickly sent a fax.

It's been a long time since we last met, and I'm truly impressed by Director Qin's efficiency.

In fact, everyone has their own ideas. Qin Siyuan also wanted to make a contribution. If he arrested Chen Shan, the case would be a case of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, which might help him take a step further.

After careful planning, Hou Liangping arranged the manpower and finally found Ji Changming.

Ji Changming was shocked. Looking at the paperwork, he dared not be negligent.

He advised Hou Liangping to act cautiously.

Ji Changming dismissed Hou Liangping and sat in his office reviewing the paperwork.

This is a serious matter.

I felt that even so, I had to report to the provincial party committee.

This put Hou Liangping in a passive position.

the other side.

The atmosphere in the command center was somewhat delicate.

Li Dakang stood in front of the big screen with his hands behind his back.

His gaze wasn't fixed on any specific image, but rather seemed to drift across the entire wall, as if he were looking at something or thinking about something.

"Secretary Dakang, stop shaking me, you're making me dizzy. Sit down and wait." Gao Yuliang sat down in a chair nearby, his tea already refilled twice. "I don't think Chen Shan can escape tonight."

Li Dakang didn't move. "Secretary Yuliang, what about Hou Liangping's paperwork?"

This question caused a very subtle change in Gao Yuliang's expression.

It wasn't that he felt guilty; it was more like a knowing "I knew he'd ask that."

Dong Jianming naturally knew that Hou Liangping was the son-in-law of the Zhong family, and thought of saying a few words on Hou Liangping's behalf, "Secretary Dakang, Hou Liangping's paperwork is indeed genuine. It was approved by the General Administration and personally signed by Director Qin Siyuan."

However, he forgot to bring it when he appeared at the Mountain and Water Manor tonight.

"Genuine paperwork, didn't bring it?" Li Dakang broke down these words, uttering them one by one, "Secretary-General Dong, what's the difference between this and not having any paperwork at all?"

Gao Yuliang picked up the teacup, blew on it, didn't drink it, and put it down again.

"Secretary Dakang, there are still differences."

Genuine paperwork cannot be faked.

If it's fake, that's a different story.

"Secretary Yuliang, is it considered fake to appoint someone later? Do you think Hou Liangping needed to be appointed?"

Gao Yuliang smiled and said, "Young people are eager to make a name for themselves, which is understandable. It's just that sometimes they run too fast and are prone to tripping."

Qi Tongwei didn't respond to that.

Looking at the big screen, plainclothes officers from the Provincial Public Security Bureau surrounded the buildings of Shanshui Manor.

"Secretary Dakang," Dong Jianming took a half step forward and lowered his voice, "about Hou Liangping...?"

"No." Li Dakang didn't even turn his head. "Let him wait."

Gao Yuliang picked up his teacup and took a sip this time.

He nodded and said, "Hmm, the tea is good."

This statement was abrupt, yet perfectly timed.

The meaning is very clear.

The tea is good. You guys continue your conversation; I'm just here to drink tea.

Li Dakang certainly understood.

He didn't mind.

He always knew Gao Yuliang's way of doing things: avoid taking action if possible, avoid offending people if possible, and just be on the right side at crucial moments.

This kind of person can be useful, but you still have to be wary of them.

"Secretary Yuliang," Li Dakang suddenly spoke up, "Hou Liangping is your student, isn't he?"

Gao Yuliang put down his teacup, his expression unchanged.

"Yes, I used to be. Back then, I was the head of the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University."

Hou Liangping took my class, so he can be considered my student.

Later, we didn't have much contact.

That was a flawless answer.

It used to be, the implication being, but it isn't anymore.

The responsibility was cut off cleanly.

Li Dakang nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Gao Yuliang added, "Comrade Liangping is capable, but he's too impatient. To put it bluntly, he's still too young."

"Young." Li Dakang repeated.

"Young people," Qi Tongwei continued, "are full of energy, but also prone to making mistakes. Take Hou Liangping, for example. His paperwork is genuine, approved by the General Administration. Why doesn't he carry it with him? If he just stuffs it in his pocket or bag, who can stop him? But instead, he's there, but the paperwork isn't. Isn't that just handing someone a handle to use against him?"

As Qi Tongwei spoke, a hint of disappointment and frustration crept into his tone.

But if you listen carefully, it doesn't seem so.

It's more like a strange feeling, that kind of feeling, you see, I knew it would be like this.

Gao Yuliang smiled but didn't say anything.

Li Dakang glanced at Qi Tongwei. "Executive Qi, by the way, I heard Hou Liangping is your junior from university, and also your roommate. How's your relationship?"

Li Dakang is really just making conversation for the sake of it, otherwise he'd easily get sleepy.

Qi Tongwei laughed, "I'm not familiar with Hou Liangping. We're not even friends. But I know Hou Liangping. Everyone knows he arrests people first and then completes the paperwork later. He was lucky before, no one bothered him. But this time he's run into Gao Mingyuan, do you think he can still be so successful?"

Then, the door opened.

Ji Changming walked in.

He walked neither fast nor slow, and his expression was complex.

It wasn't tension or anxiety, but more like a sense of relief, like "it's finally here."

"Secretary Sha, Governor Liu, Secretary Yuliang, Minister Wu, Executive Director Qi, Secretary Dakang," he greeted them one by one.

There was no way around it; although they were all deputy ministerial level officials, they were all members of the provincial party committee standing committee.

At this time.

A different sound came from a screen.

"Director Gao, I just want to find a foreign teacher to give me some pointers, to learn a foreign language and practice my spoken English."

Qi Tongwei turned his head to look.

Gao Mingyuan grabbed a man by the hair and yelled, "Pah! Learning a foreign language! Who the hell is learning a foreign language naked?!"
