Chen Anguo returned to his office, followed by two junior police officers.

"Director, what are you going to do about this case? It's just as you said."

Hou Liangping is truly doomed this time!

Chen Anguo listened to his subordinate's question.

Without saying a word, he sat down in his office and lit a cigarette.

He slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

He calmly replied, "It's not that simple!"

There are witnesses and physical evidence, but the crime has not been determined.

"It's not up to us to decide. We're just submitting the evidence. The final judgment rests with the courts and the disciplinary committee!"

Chen Anguo's tone was slightly low.

Hou Liangping is clearly telling you that your grandfather has powerful connections.

He seemed fearless and invincible.

Chen Anguo really had no idea.

"Chief, is there really nothing we can do about him?" a police officer asked, unwilling to give up.

Such a heinous incident.

Are we going to let Hou Liangping escape so easily?

Does this world still have any sense of reason or rules?!

Chen Anguo took a deep drag on his cigarette, smoking it down to half its original size.

He slowly exhaled a long smoke ring and said, "Don't worry, this world is reasonable and follows rules."

He illegally escorted and interrogated people.

It also led to people being admitted to the ICU for emergency treatment.

It has already broken the law and will be punished, but it will take a long time, so all we can do now is to prolong the time as much as possible!

The longer it drags on, the better...

The Zhong family is not invincible, and they certainly cannot break the rules!

Moreover, Director Zhao Dehan is still in the ICU, so it's impossible for us to release him, both morally and logically.

By the way, don't let him use his phone to make calls during this time, and don't let him see anyone!

Don't give these people with powerful backgrounds any chance at all.

Just give them steamed buns and pickled vegetables every 24 hours.

Don't do anything to turn off the cameras; there's no need to give them leverage.

Chen Anguo deliberately gave a word of advice, fearing that some young people who knew the situation might do something impulsive.

"Don't worry, Director, we understand!"

"Alright, you can go out now. Keep a close eye on the people and don't let anyone get close. You all go and do it yourselves!" Chen Anguo instructed his trusted men to go and guard Hou Liangping.

He chain-smoked, trying to calm himself down and analyze the weaknesses in the game.

"Beep beep beep!!"

The sudden ringing of the landline phone startled him.

His brows furrowed involuntarily.

at this time.

The phone call came in.

He has to be vigilant.

The phone kept ringing, showing no signs of stopping.

It was obvious that they were targeting him, the main investigator.

Chen Anguo smoked another cigarette, and the phone rang for a full six minutes.

Chen Anguo then reluctantly answered the phone.

"Who is it!"

"Anguo, it's me!"

The voice that came through the phone was only four words, but it felt incredibly familiar and reassuring to Chen Anguo.

"Minister Wang, why are you calling me at this hour?"

Chen Anguo felt a chill in his heart, especially if it were this superior calling him.

If he ordered himself to let Hou Liangping go.

What should I do?

The gap is just too big; the two are two levels apart.

"Don't be nervous. I'm calling you to let you know that we've taken notice of Hou Liangping's situation."

You must handle this matter seriously and there must be absolutely no leniency!

"I will always be your strongest support. If you encounter any obstacles, report to me immediately. I've been keeping an eye on this matter!" Minister Wang Haoran's phone call was warm and reassuring.

Upon hearing this, Chen Anguo involuntarily stood up.

He stood tall with a broad smile on his face.

"Okay, Minister Wang, everything will be done as you wish. If there are any abnormalities..."

I will report to you immediately!

Chen Anguo hung up the phone, and his heart miraculously calmed down.

Is this what it feels like to have someone to rely on?

This is so awesome!

Now, if anyone asks him to release Hou Liangping, he'll have to beat them to a pulp.

He was determined to gather the person and the key evidence and hand them over to the court.

As for how the disciplinary committee should punish Hou Liangping, that's a second procedure.

He failed to survive the first heavenly tribulation, so how could he possibly face the second one?

Unless it's a twin lightning tribulation occurring simultaneously!

However, this is... a last resort!

The Zhong family mansion.

Chung Cheng-kuo's face darkened in the conference room.

Zhong Xiaoai stood obediently in front of him, her head bowed.

I tried to calm my painful emotions.

"Xiao Ai, you've grown up, you need to learn to let go."

Sometimes giving up is a sign of true growth! After a long while, Zhong Zhengguo sighed.

After saying this, his tone sounded extremely dejected.

He originally wanted to compete for the position of First Deputy Secretary.

They were already making frequent moves, offending many people they shouldn't have.

He also shared part of his plan with Hou Liangping.

Let Hou Lianghe eat cake, and chop fish on the cutting board.

But what did Hou Liangping do that caused such a huge blunder and such a huge impact?

If Zhao Dehan hadn't survived, it could have resulted in another death.

This is truly a double whammy!

Zhong Zhengguo could imagine that his position as the first deputy secretary was probably in jeopardy.

Those who were already at odds with him couldn't stand to see him do well, while those who were neutral would be affected by this incident.

They had a lot of opinions about him.

Adding the fact that they took action against Zhao Dehan, the game was already fraught with danger.

It might anger the bigwigs in the energy sector.

There was nothing we could do; this fish was too fat, a typical example of a petty official with enormous greed. If we handled it well, his promotion would be 70-80% guaranteed.

But in the end, Hou Liangping completely messed it up.

He failed to catch any fish and almost drowned in the water; now he's waiting to be rescued.

Isn't that hilarious?

"Father, Liangping is capable!"

It's just that the performance wasn't good this time!

Moreover, the fact that the money disappeared shows that Zhao Dehan is not as simple and stupid as we thought!

Maybe they deliberately showed us that money!

"We've been waiting for this moment," Zhong Xiaoai retorted weakly.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Zhengguo was instantly amused and exasperated: "What a clever way to show us!"

Is he an idiot?

They're deliberately showing this to our disciplinary committee!

How dare he gamble? Shouldn't we arrest him immediately?

Hilarious, so hilarious!

Zhong Xiaoai, my daughter.

Have you been spending too much time with Hou Liangping and it's made you stupid?

How could anyone say something so stupid?!

Hou Liangping was arrogant and wanted to play a game of cat and mouse, but the mouse got away and he got himself into trouble.

He messed things up himself!

And you, my daughter Zhong Xiaoai, are still making excuses for this idiot!

Chung Cheng-kuo was furious.

He stood up, paced back and forth, recounting the foolishness of Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai.
