Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

This was the first time Hou Liangping had ever seen money hidden in a refrigerator.

Hou Liangping turned and stared intently at Zhao Dehan. "Director Zhao, do you have anything to say now?"

"Can your legal income fill a refrigerator every year?"

Zhao Dehan looked up at the stacks of banknotes lying on the ground, his fear still evident in his eyes.

He instinctively took a half step back, his lips trembling, looking as if a great disaster was about to befall him.

His acting was absolutely phenomenal; he remained completely unmoved, even though he knew the money had been switched and was involved in it.

"It's not mine... This money really doesn't belong to me, I had no idea about it, Director Hou."

Xiao Han put on white gloves and gathered the cash on the ground.

At this time.

A color machine-printed comic book fell to the ground.

The visual style is playful and straightforward.

The drawing depicts a green-bottomed monkey with a long tongue sticking out and a grinning face, full of satirical humor.

There was a brief, deathly silence for two seconds.

Lu Xiaola couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle softly.

Why is the Marquis of Changxinzi green-bottomed?

Does this imply that Hou Liangping was cheated on?

Song Yunhui smiled, seemingly agreeing with Xiao Zhouqian.

Everyone except Hou Liangping was laughing.

All of this is clearly a mockery of Hou Liangping; it's highly targeted.

In the past, within the Beijing city circle, mentioning Marquis Changxinzi was simply a matter of four characters.

Today, the image of the long-beaked monkey has been brought to life through a cartoon.

Hou Liangping's face darkened instantly. He suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "Zhao Dehan, don't play dumb. Where are the account books involved in the case?"

"Where are you hiding? Tell me honestly!"

Zhao Dehan looked up, his face blank and innocent, and spread his hands. "What ledger? I don't know anything about ledgers. Director Hou, you can't frame someone without evidence."

They stubbornly denied it, claiming ignorance when questioned.

Zhong Zhengmian aspires to catch even bigger fish.

Taking down Zhao Dehan was just an appetizer; this amount of money was enough to take down Zhao Dehan, but it wouldn't do anything to Lu Xiaola.

We must investigate as soon as possible.

He raised his hand to signal that they should split into three teams to search.

Qin Siyuan led the team to continue searching on the first floor.

Once in the bathroom, I opened the toilet tank lid.

Several kraft paper notebooks were soaking in the water tank; the paper had absorbed water and become soft, emitting a musty smell.

It must have been the ledger. When Director Chen was stalling for time, someone sneaked in and, unable to take it with them, just disposed of it like that.

should be.

That makes perfect sense.

If I weren't so clever, no one would have discovered the ledger in the toilet.

"Found it! The ledger is here!"

The account books that were retrieved were dripping water.

The only option is to take it back to the office to air dry before checking the contents.

With irrefutable evidence in hand, Chung Cheng-mian smugly glared at Director Chen, "Director Chen, tell me the truth, what exactly is your relationship with Zhao Dehan?"

Have you had any financial dealings with each other before?

Our policy is to treat those who confess leniently and those who resist severely.

If you confess honestly, the court will reduce your sentence.

Director Chen flicked his collar with his right hand, his expression calm. "Zhong Lao Er, I haven't broken the law. You can't just accuse me like that."

Zhao Dehan is my privately accepted disciple.

In her spare time, she would learn acting from me and occasionally play a small supporting role, that's all.

There are no financial transactions between us.

Chung Cheng-mian didn't believe it at all.

The cash in the refrigerator and the waterlogged account books—that amount of cash seemed enough to bring Lu Xiaola down.

However, if Song Yunhui tries to shift the blame, he has no power to influence Song Yunhui in the energy sector.

I'm a little unwilling to accept it.

There couldn't possibly be only this little money in the villa.

We must capture them all tonight and achieve a great victory.

I, Chung Cheng-mian, must improve and reach the level my elder brother is at now.

There's a hole here right now, and the older brother said he has the best chance.

They are determined to uncover other evidence and dismantle the energy sector in one fell swoop.

Chung Cheng-mian pushed open the door to the master bedroom, and his secretary turned on the light.

The double bed was covered with a bright red sheet, which looked a bit odd.

What's going on?

Zhao Dehan is playing such fancy tricks?

He strode forward and reached out to pull back the bed sheet.

Bundles of cash, neatly stacked, covered the entire bed, creating a striking visual impact.

Chung Cheng-mian has spent his entire life working in the surveillance system, investigating numerous cases, both large and small.

This is truly the first time I've ever seen money spread on a bed.

Anyway, today was an eye-opening experience, and the result was really good.

Zhong Zhengmian was overjoyed.

enough!

Haha!

Song Yunhui, Lu Xiaola, Zhao Dehan from the Energy Department, plus Director Chen, must all be taken down.

The Zhong family must rise to prominence.

Towards brilliance.

Overjoyed, he felt like he was the best in the world and could do whatever he wanted from now on.

Chung Cheng-mian had his men take photos to document the evidence, while he sat on the bed and dialed Chung Cheng-kuo's number.

The call was answered instantly.

Zhong Zhengguo's deep, resonant voice came through the receiver, "Second brother, how's the situation on site?"

Zhong Zhengmian took off his leather shoes. "Brother, this is fantastic news!"

The master bedroom on the second floor was covered with cash, the refrigerator on the first floor was stuffed with banknotes, and several account books were retrieved from the toilet tank in the bathroom. The physical evidence closed the loop.

They even called in Director Chen to cover for Zhao Dehan. It's estimated that Song Yunhui and Lu Xiaola will also be implicated this time, depending mainly on Zhao Dehan's subsequent testimony.

I made the right bet tonight; I've hit the jackpot.

We'll be able to move in soon!

Chung Cheng-kuo's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "Really?"

It was truly unexpected, and I was overjoyed.

"Absolutely true. We have both witnesses and physical evidence. Ding Yizhen fled first, and the ironclad evidence followed. No one from their energy department can escape." Zhong Zhengmian said viciously.

After enduring so much, the Chung family has finally managed to gain an edge over the energy sector.

Chung Cheng-kuo chuckled softly, tapping the table lightly with his fingertip. "Good, very good!"

After a long period of preparation, they finally succeeded.

Chung Cheng-mian kicked his foot casually. "Big brother, I'll notify the bank in a bit, and then I'll go home after counting the cash."

"Xiao Mian, don't rush, keep searching, make sure it's an airtight case. No matter how late it takes, I'll wait for you to come back. When you get back, I'll open two bottles of Maotai for you, and we'll have a good drink." Zhong Zhengguo lay half-reclined on the sofa, smug.

Today is a good day, and I should be able to make progress too!

Old Xu's position is actually quite good.

That old man is almost seventy, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to retire!

Former head of the Energy Department, how dare you sit in your current position?

Imperial Garden.

The master bedroom is on the second floor.

A few soft rustling sounds suddenly came from under the bed.

Two snakes darted out, moving with incredible speed, and pounced to bite.

One bit Zhong Zhengmian's thigh, and the other bit his buttocks.

Ah!

Zhong Zhengmian let out a piercing scream.

How did I end up being bitten by a poisonous snake? It's truly a case of heaven being jealous of talent.

Barbie Q is here.

Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

The secretary and the investigators panicked.

No one would have expected there to be a snake.

I don't know what to do.

All they could do was shout for help.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone entered the master bedroom.

Hou Liangping stopped in his tracks, looking at Zhong Zhengmian, who was lying unconscious on the ground, with a look of astonishment.

There was also a snake coiled up, its legs bent, which gave Hou Liangping goosebumps all over.

Director Chen remained calm and gestured to his assistant to handle the matter as soon as possible.

Two assistants jogged forward, put on gloves, sprayed something, and subdued the two snakes.

The technique was quite professional; he threw it into a wooden crate.

Having spent years training snakes on film sets, he possesses exceptional basic skills.

The baby snake has done a great job; it deserves a good meal later.

Qin Siyuan, with a mournful face, immediately took out his phone, "120, this is the Imperial Garden Villa."

I am Qin Siyuan, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

Someone has been bitten by a snake and is unconscious. You must come immediately to their aid! Bring your best doctors.

The second son of the Zhong family absolutely cannot die; power must be exercised, or it will expire.

Hou Liangping contacted Zhong Zhengguo.

The call was answered instantly.

"Dad, something terrible has happened! Second Uncle was bitten by a poisonous snake at the villa. I don't know if he'll wake up."
