Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

"Zhao Donglai, we've located the vehicle. They've already entered the highway. Have someone immediately block off the highway entrance!"

Yes, they're heading towards the airport. Yes, that's Secretary Li Dakang's car. Seal it off!

Hou Liangping picked up the phone and, in a commanding tone, dialed Zhao Donglai, Li Dakang's direct subordinate in Jingzhou City, issuing his orders.

"Director Hou, what are you doing?"

Why did you stop Secretary Li's car?!

Zhao Donglai's brows suddenly furrowed.

Li Dakang was his benefactor and his direct superior, so stopping Li Dakang's car put him in a difficult position.

Has Hou Liangping gone mad?

How is that possible?

Hou Liangping wants to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but Zhao Donglai wouldn't dare!

"Stop talking nonsense?"

"If you want to blockade us, then blockade us. But don't forget, you're not Li Dakang's man anymore, you're Secretary Sha's man now!" Hou Liangping said confidently.

His gaze was extremely aggressive, as if he were not a leader at the division level.

Instead, it was Zhao Donglai's direct superior, who was at the deputy director-general level.

"How did you know?!"

Zhao Donglai was briefly shocked upon hearing Hou Liangping's words.

He only found out about this a week ago.

Sha Ruijin also had his old superior, someone from the Ministry of Public Security, who made a phone call to him, establishing this covert relationship.

However, he has not yet decided whether to follow Sha Ruijin or Li Dakang.

Now that Hou Liangping has directly exposed his mistake, he's in a difficult position.

If he openly refuses, wouldn't that be a direct denial of his relationship with Sha Ruijin? Hou Liangping is forcing him to make a choice!

"Damn Hou Liangping, is he trying to force me?"

Zhao Donglai gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

This situation, where he was forced to choose between two options, made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Zhao Donglai, hurry up! If the person escapes, I will definitely report you to Sha Ruijin!"

Hou Liangping wouldn't give Zhao Donglai much time to think, and continued in a cold tone.

His tone was becoming more and more like that of a direct supervisor, more and more like he was giving orders.

The anti-corruption bureau subordinates who were in the same car as Hou Liangping witnessed this scene.

Hou Liangping's pupils widened slightly. It was utterly absurd that Hou Liangping would issue orders to a police chief at the deputy provincial level.

This new deputy director must have some powerful connections; he's capable of anything.

Thinking about the tasks Hou Liangping assigned today.

They felt a renewed sense of confidence and urgency.

They must be at the forefront of this matter and strive to achieve merit.

Let the newly arrived Director Hou, with his powerful connections, know how formidable they are and witness their capabilities.

If we latch onto this powerful patron, won't we be worry-free from now on?

"Okay, I understand!!" Zhao Donglai hesitated for a moment between Li Dakang and Sha Ruijin, then nodded.

One is the Party Secretary of the provincial capital, and the other is the Party Secretary of the province.

Zhao Donglai made his choice quickly.

He chose Sha Ruijin, believing that the top leader was the true authority.

Only by following the top leader can you get the benefits.

At most, Li Dakang could get him into the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, making him a cadre at the level of a full-fledged department head.

Zhang Ruijin is different; by following him, he might even become the Director of the Public Security Bureau in the future.

Or perhaps go further and become a vice governor, or even the secretary of the provincial political and legal affairs commission.

Given the gap and the difference in status, Zhao Donghai quickly realized that in order to advance, he had no choice but to betray his old leader, Li Dakang.

Moreover, Li Dakang is the one with the problem. If he doesn't stop her, Ouyang Jing will be able to leave the country.

His boss, Li Dakang, would also be a lifelong problem, which is why Zhao Donglai made this decision so readily.

He was saving his former boss's career.

Instead of betraying his old leader, Zhao Donglai felt much better thinking that way.

Then the order was issued immediately.

They ordered men to block the highway entrance and intercept Li Dakang's car.

They prevented Li Dakang's car from taking the suspect, Ouyang Jing, to the international airport.

"Zhao Donglai, you made the right choice. You are a smart man!" Hou Liangping nodded with satisfaction upon hearing Zhao Donglai's answer, his face full of relief.

It's like being satisfied with one's subordinates, who have finally listened to him and are obediently doing their jobs.

This scene excited the anti-corruption bureau's subordinates even more, especially Lu Yike sitting next to them.

"Not bad, I didn't expect that a leader at the level of a division chief could actually order Zhao Donglai, who is at the level of a deputy director!"

And to make someone stop their direct supervisor's car, that's really something!

Lu Yike, the head of the First Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, gave Hou Liangping a thumbs up.

"What's the big deal? It's all about serving the people!" Hou Liangping shrugged nonchalantly, a smug smile on his face.

Lu Yi couldn't stand Hou Liangping's smug look, so he turned his head to the other side.

He scoffed, "You'd better catch him first before you're smug!"

Hou Liangping is not trying to take Chen Hai's position.

Therefore, Lu Yike didn't have much of an opinion about the deputy director who replaced Lü Liang.

Moreover, he is the director of a department, while Hou Liangping is currently only a deputy bureau chief at the same level; the two are of equal rank.

Even in practical work, Lu Yike had the upper hand.

If Lu Yike leads the way in disobeying Hou Liangping's orders,

Hou Liangping was essentially a commander without any real power.

"Hehe, take a good look, I'm not some nobody with an empty reputation!" Hou Liangping chuckled.

He really took Lu Yike's words to heart.

Determined to get Ouyang Jing out of Li Dakang's car today.

He wanted to show his subordinates what he, as the bureau chief, could do.

He made the woman in front of him, who seemed exceptionally arrogant, lower her head for him.

Husband and lick his boots properly.

the other side.

49 cities.

Wang Haoran was happily presiding over the work of the prefectural committee department in his office.

Enjoy life to the fullest when you're successful.

Once the dragon soars, it flies ten thousand miles.

This perfectly captures Wang Haoran's feelings at this moment.

He is now the first deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and he oversees Zhong Zhengguo and several other deputy secretaries.

The direct superiors are even more important figures.

Moreover, his direct supervisor usually assigns him work.

He was truly second only to the emperor, above all others.

Of course, this applies to this small circle; there are many powerful individuals outside.

However, he is quite comfortable in this field now.

Today, a rare guest knocked on his door; it was none other than the Zhong family, who had just suffered a setback.

Because of the joint letter from Handong Province, the Zhong family paid a heavy price for Hou Liangping.

If it weren't for the help and resources provided by the eldest son-in-law of the Zhong family, who appeased the pressure from all sides...

The Chung family can no longer live such a comfortable and peaceful life.

"Boss, was my recent workload adjustment a bit too light? I'd like to ask the organization to give me more responsibility!"

"At least let me be reinstated to my original job!"

Zhong Zhengguo lowered his head in front of Wang Haoran.

Carefully strive to secure your own interests.

Previously, he was in charge of the Case Supervision and Management Office, the Case Trial Office, and the Regulations Office.

The core tasks are to centrally manage all leads and supervise case-handling procedures.

All transferred cases are subject to characterization, disciplinary action, and evidence review; the establishment of disciplinary inspection and supervision regulations and systems.

The "entry" and "exit" of the case.

All leads must go through the case management department; the trial court has the final say on whether a conviction can be made and what punishment to give.

It constrains all case-handling departments, possesses extremely strong procedural powers, and prevents wrongful convictions.

It's fair to say that no one could stop him from filing any case he wanted, but what about now...?

His work was directly handed over to the other deputy secretaries.

He was assigned to oversee the Publicity Department, the Petition Office, and the Warning Education Department.

The core tasks are handling and distributing petitions and reports, promoting integrity, guiding public opinion, providing cautionary education, and building a culture of integrity.

Petitions are a source of leads, but they do not have the authority to decide on case handling.

The propaganda department is geared towards public opinion work and is considered a support function, with frontline disciplinary enforcement having the weakest authority.

He is now a complete outsider.

The disciplinary committee has no say in the matter.

If you can get involved, then it's just a matter of promotion.

He had a vague feeling that he was in this state.

Then my daughter's position as deputy director will probably be adjusted soon.

For Chung Cheng-kuo, the difference between the past and the present is like heaven and earth.

Zhong Zhengguo couldn't stop this change at all; no one greeted him anymore.

So he approached Wang Haoran, lowered his head, and hoped to give him some more important work.
