Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

Hou Liangping knelt at the door all night, and Zhong Xiaoai didn't come out of the room until the next morning.

Hou Liangping, his eyes bloodshot, saw Zhong Xiaoai come out.

He quickly crawled over and begged for forgiveness.

Zhong Xiaoai looked at the mess in the living room.

Moreover, Hou Liangping hadn't prepared any breakfast, which showed that this man was truly useless.

What's the use of just kneeling and begging for forgiveness?

Can't you do something practical?

"I've discussed the trip to Handong with my father. Get ready; you'll likely be there soon!"

After finishing her sentence, Zhong Xiaoai closed the door and left.

He completely ignored the look of surprise and delight on Hou Liangping's face.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai's words sounded like heavenly music to Hou Liangping.

Hou Liangping felt that Zhong Xiaoai was forgiving him and apologizing for her rude behavior towards him yesterday.

That's why he fulfilled his wish and went to Handong.

Hou Liangping was so excited he could hardly speak.

They didn't notice anything unusual about Zhong Xiaoai. If she really wanted to improve her relationship with Hou Liangping, she wouldn't have left so coldly.

Hou Liangping picked up the phone with a sense of joy.

"Hello, is this Chen Hai?"

"I am now ordering you, in my capacity as the Supreme People's Procuratorate, to arrest Ding Yizhen, the vice mayor of Jingzhou City! The evidence against him for accepting bribes is conclusive. We have already obtained conclusive evidence. You must carry out the arrest immediately and do not let him escape!"

Hou Liangping picked up the phone.

He dialed his old roommate from university, Chen Hai, who is now the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau in Handong Province, and gave the order.

His tone was direct and decisive; he, a division chief, was issuing orders to Chen Hai, who was a deputy director-general.

Chen Hai, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province, did not refute Hou Liangping's words at all.

He nodded immediately and agreed, "Okay, I'll get started right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hai immediately summoned Lu Yike, the head of the investigation department, and the rest of the anti-corruption bureau to deploy operational orders.

"Comrades, now, immediately..."

A dozen minutes later, Chen Hai finished making arrangements.

The operation officially began.

The operation had already begun, and Chen Hai then remembered to report the news to his superiors.

A phone call was made to Ji Changming, the then chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

"Hello, Chief Prosecutor Ji? We've received instructions from the Supreme People's Procuratorate to arrest Ding Yizhen!!"

The plan has already begun!

The phone call I just received was to report on my work and also to find a superior to share the responsibility.

Once that call is made, even if something goes wrong with the subsequent actions, there will only be one more person to take the blame.

In particular, Chen Hai also has a retired chief prosecutor supporting him.

He can easily shift the blame then. In the Handong Provincial Procuratorate system, who wouldn't give Chen Yanshi face?

"What's going on?"

The Supreme People's Procuratorate's order!

You want to arrest Ding Yizhen? Are you kidding me?

Ding Yizhen is the vice mayor of Jingzhou City, a cadre at the level of a full-fledged department head.

Without orders from the provincial party committee, you are going to arrest a vice mayor at the level of a department director.

What are you trying to do, Chen Hai!

"Are you trying to turn the world upside down?" Ji Changming was instantly frightened; this Chen Hai was incredibly audacious.

Without orders from the provincial party committee, they actually wanted to arrest a vice mayor at the level of a full-fledged department director.

When they called me back then, they were probably trying to shift the blame onto me!

"Listen, Chen Hai, where are you? Cease all operations immediately! Cease all operations immediately!!!"

As the Chief Prosecutor of Handong Province, I order you to cease all actions. This matter is far too serious; we must report to the Provincial Party Committee and to Secretary Gao Yuliang!

Ji Changming immediately gave the order.

Chen Hai's actions were so egregious that they startled Ji Changming, who quickly stood up and gave the order.

If we forcibly arrest them, we'll end up with a huge burden on our own shoulders.

I don't need a comfortable retirement anymore; I'd be happy if I could retire with some dignity.

The prosecutor's office arrested people arbitrarily without any evidence.

He's a prosecutor who's about to retire, isn't he courting death?

This Chen Hai is going to kill him!

"Chief Prosecutor Ji, this is an order from the Supreme People's Procuratorate!!" Chen Hai still wanted to argue.

"Orders? Haha, let me tell you, without the provincial party committee's order, no one can arrest Ding Yizhen. Stop your actions immediately and tell me where you are."

"Shall I come find you right away?"

"I'm here..." With no other option, Chen Hai could only give the address and then angrily hung up the phone.

Without Ji Changming taking the blame, he dared not act on his own.

At this moment, he realized the trouble he might be in by causing trouble, and he didn't know what he was thinking just now.

Hou Liangping's mere words were enough to prompt him to immediately mobilize all personnel of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province to arrest a deputy mayor at the level of a full-fledged department director.

A dozen minutes later, Ji Changming got into his car and immediately stopped Chen Hai's car in front of it.

He rolled down the car window and sneered at Chen Haidao:

"You, Chen Hai, without orders from the provincial party committee, you wanted to arrest a vice mayor at the ministerial level, and then you called me at the last minute to report to me. What are you trying to do!"

"Chief Prosecutor Ji, this is an order from the Supreme People's Procuratorate!!"

"No one's orders matter. Now come with me to the Provincial Party Committee to report. I've already informed Secretary Yuliang, and Secretary Dakang too; they're both waiting for you!!"

After Ji Changming finished speaking, he closed the car window and ordered the driver to drive towards the Provincial Party Committee.

"Oh dear, what a mess this is!" Chen Hai sighed, rolled up the car window, and followed.

There was no other way; nobody wanted to take the blame for him.

He dared not rush forward!

The scene changes.

In a small meeting room of the Provincial Party Committee.

They surrounded Gao Yuliang, the full-time deputy secretary of the Handong Province and concurrently the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

He was the main leader in charge of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Ji Changming had to report to him.

Another person is Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, who also serves as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

The matter of arresting Ding Yizhen's superior must be reported to him.

Another person was Qi Tongwei, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province.

He was reporting his work to Gao Yuliang when Ji Changming, who was also about to report to Gao Yuliang, came along.

The other two were Chen Hai and Ji Changming. The five of them sat around in the small conference room, their faces solemn.

"We didn't know a vice mayor in our province had accepted bribes, so how did they find out first?"

Gao Yuliang looked somber; he had already heard Ji Changming's phone report before he arrived.

So he asked at that moment.

The question also carried a hint of skepticism.

Our local officials in Handong Province were corrupt, but we didn't discover it ourselves; it was the Supreme People's Procuratorate that discovered it first.

Did higher-ups directly intervene in the arrest?

And they didn't even give a heads-up.

This is so domineering, it breaks the rules!

"What exactly happened to Comrade Ji Changming?" Li Dakang asked anxiously.

With her head held high and a questioning tone, she inquired of Ji Changming.

Since this matter was not orchestrated by Gao Yuliang but by Ji Changming, he was no longer afraid and directly used a questioning tone.

He hadn't spoken up immediately before to save face for Gao Yuliang, but now that Gao Yuliang claimed to be unaware, he had to go all out.
