Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Chung Cheng-mian is the second son in the Chung family, and he is much more optimistic than Chung Cheng-kuo.

They didn't take the energy system seriously at all.

As for Lu Xiaola, she had a personal grudge and had long wanted to take revenge.

Qin Siyuan was filled with anxiety, thinking that Zhong Zhengmian must have gone mad.

"Prosecutor Chung, I hope so."

Anyway, there's no bottom line.

Last time, they implicated a deputy director-general and several division chiefs in the energy department.

Actually, for a unit like theirs, they were just small fry.

If it weren't for the Zhong family's involvement, Qin Siyuan would never have wanted to get involved in the energy sector.

Even if everything goes smoothly and you manage to take over the energy sector, you'll still benefit.

not necessarily?

If something goes wrong, I might end up taking the blame for the Chung family.

Zhong Zhengmian laughed heartily, "Siyuan, wait for Liangping's good news. After we catch him tonight, we'll open champagne to celebrate."

Qin Siyuan scratched his head; it really was a night he was forced to work overtime.

Tonight is destined to be restless.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Hou Liangping and Zhao Dehan's van was parked in front of the main gate of the Ministry of Energy Resources.

The gate was tightly shut, and retractable roadblocks blocked the way forward.

The driver honked the horn a few times, but no one lifted the barricade to let him pass.

Two young security guards walked over and stood in front of the car without saying a word.

When Zhao Dehan saw the two of them, it was like seeing family.

In the past, I often passed by the gate, occasionally offering a cigarette and chatting for a few minutes.

Indeed, people are divided into different classes, and there are also distinctions based on kinship or distance.

Compared to Hou Liangping beside him, aren't those two junior security guards just like family?

The car window rolled down, and the two men completely ignored Hou Liangping, instead greeting Zhao Dehan.

"Director Zhao, according to department regulations, outside vehicles are strictly prohibited from entering, especially at night. Please understand."

Zhao Dehan offered cigarettes directly, "You're on night duty, it's tough, have one. I'm not going in, but Hou Liangping from the Anti-Corruption Bureau wants to go in."

The two shook their heads. "No, it's against the rules."

Hou Liangping was furious. He flashed his badge and said, "Hey gatekeeper, listen up! I'm Hou Liangping, director of the Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate. I'm going in to search Zhao Dehan's office. Open the door!"

At this time.

A white-haired man with a buzz cut walked over, expressionless. "The department is investigating potential safety hazards. All outside vehicles and unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from entering."

Let's start with a show of force.

Check the energy department.

I've had enough of living.

Don't even think about getting through the gate.

Check a bird.

Hou Liangping pushed open the door and got out of the car, clutching his identification. He rolled his eyes and said, "The Supreme People's Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau is handling this case. Let me go quickly, or you'll make things difficult for yourself."

The crew-cut man glanced at the ID and said, "Oh ho, just a lowly section-level cadre, what are you doing acting so arrogantly in our ministry compound? What kind of rank do you have? You're not qualified to even enter."

Hou Liangping felt he had been publicly humiliated.

I'm very unhappy.

What happened this time? It seems like things didn't go well from the start.

Zhao Dehan remained silent.

Quietly watch the show, and sit back and watch Hou Liangping be humiliated.

Hou Liangping's face turned ashen. Pointing at the old man's nose, he continued to exert pressure, "Old man guarding the gate, you are obstructing the Anti-Corruption Bureau's handling of the case and law enforcement. I will report this to the relevant departments afterward, and you will be removed from your post as gatekeeper tomorrow. Try it if you don't believe me."

What kind of person is this old gatekeeper, daring to speak to me like that?

In a fit of rage, he spoke without restraint, unleashing a torrent of words.

"Uncle Han, thank you." Zhao Dehan felt relieved. With Old Han backing him up, he absolutely couldn't back down. "Director Hou, as a public official, it's outrageous for a director to bully people in public. He has no respect for elders whatsoever. His perspective is too narrow."

I think you should just quit your job and stay home to take care of the kids.

By using someone else's strength against them, they directly damaged Hou Liangping's public image.

Anyway, the main focus is on the disgusting Hou Liangping.

Hou Liangping turned and glared at Zhao Dehan. "Zhao Dehan, you've been reported by name and are now involved in a case. You have no right to judge me. You can wait to go work on a sewing machine."

Old Han glared at Hou Liangping, took half a step forward, straightened his back, unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a scar on his chest, clearly a gunshot wound.

next second.

Old Han started to unleash his full power, "Kid, I'm a veteran who participated in the self-defense counterattack war and received a second-class merit award. After retiring from my department-level position, I volunteered to guard the gate."

Let alone a lowly division-level cadre like you, I've stopped cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels as well.

You, a mere section chief, really don't know your place.

In Beijing, if I throw a brick, I might hit a section chief.

You little brat, you dare to threaten to fire me?

"Get out of here!"

Reverse.

Such a hardcore identity reversal left Hou Liangping speechless.

Hou Liangping stared at the veteran's scars, his Adam's apple bobbing, and he was momentarily speechless.

I never expected a security guard to have such a powerful background.

Is the energy system really different?

Why is it different from before?

What exactly is wrong?

Last time, it went so smoothly that we caught them completely off guard.

This time, even getting through the main gate was difficult.

At this moment, Vice Minister Lu Xiaola, accompanied by her secretary, walked over.

Lu Xiaola glanced sideways at Hou Liangping and his group, "Who's making a scene here? This is the Ministry of Energy and Resources compound, not a street corner or a market. Since when have just any Tom, Dick, or Harry been allowed to come in?"

Direct and ruthless.

Hou Liangping, I won't let you in.

What else can we do?

Hou Liangping pulled out his credentials and search warrant at once. "Minister Lu, I have a valid search warrant. I am handling this case in accordance with the law. Please cooperate."

The secretary took it and handed it to Lu Xiaola.

Lu Xiaola glanced at it casually, especially at the official seal.

He tossed the document to Hou Liangping within two seconds, "Hou Liangping, according to the relevant procedures, the search is limited to Zhao Dehan's office. Is that right?"

Hou Liangping stuffed the documents into his pocket. "Yes, that's right. Minister Lu is reasonable and knows how to distinguish between public and private matters. Unlike some people, who are so indecisive and obstructive."

After saying that, he raised his hand to signal the driver, "Get in!"

Lu Xiaola gave a signal, and several security personnel stepped forward to stop the bread truck.

It started but then stalled.

This year is truly unlucky.

The driver really wanted to smash the wrecked bread truck.

It's infuriating, absolutely infuriating.

Lu Xiaola raised an eyebrow. "Hou Liangping, who taught you Chinese?"

You can check Zhao Dehan's office address, but that doesn't mean you can enter the compound of our Ministry of Energy and Resources.

They really know how to nitpick over words.

Hou Liangping hadn't expected Lu Xiaola, a deputy minister, to be so lacking in vision.

Hou Liangping roared, "Minister Lu, your deliberate obstruction of law enforcement is tantamount to protecting Zhao Dehan and helping criminals evade investigation!"

Lu Xiaola remained calm and retorted, "Hou Liangping, go back and study the law before handling cases."

Zhao Dehan was not criminally detained, nor was he sentenced in court. Legally speaking, he was merely a suspect, not a convicted criminal.

We acted in accordance with the regulations; this is absolutely not an act of covering up.

Trying to label someone is too naive.

Zhao Dehan was too excited, and Minister Lu was too brave, preventing Hou Liangping from advancing.

If there weren't outsiders present, I really wanted to kowtow to Lu Xiaola.

Watching Hou Liangping run into obstacles at every turn filled him with immense satisfaction.

Yesterday was a bad day.

Today is a good day.

It really is constantly changing.

Hou Liangping was furious, but he forced himself to suppress his anger and lowered his stance. "Minister Lu, please tell me straight, how can I lead the team in to handle the case?"

No matter who tries to stop me, I must search Zhao Dehan's office today.

The door to the energy department is not easy to enter.

I guess there are conditions; if you soften your stance, you can get in.

Once Zhao Dehan is identified, along with Lu Xiaola and those security guards who rolled their eyes, they'll all be dealt with.

Song Yunhui sat at his desk, looking at the live surveillance footage in front of the main entrance, and gave a thumbs up.

Little La is great, she really let loose today.

It's rare to see Hou Liangping speak so humbly.

This is just the beginning; the real show is yet to come.
