"Don't be too happy, Liangping. There are requirements for this trip to Handong. Secretary Sha Ruijin of Handong is willing to transfer you here because he hopes you can be like a sharp knife to tear open the inside story of corruption in Handong. This task will not be easy!"

Hearing his wife say that, Hou Liangping finally calmed down.

"Xiao Ai, don't you know me? Since Secretary Sha Ruijin is willing to use me, I'll definitely do my best!"

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai frowned slightly. She really hoped that her husband could be more composed and not cause trouble.

Before Zhong Xiaoai could give any more instructions, Hou Liangping had already served the dishes. Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoai gave up and decided to let her husband be happy for a few days to release the pressure he had been under lately...

three days later.

Hou Liangping entered the unit as usual, but was soon stopped by Qin Siyuan, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Upon arriving at the director's office and sitting down, Qin Siyuan immediately addressed the question that Hou Liangping was most concerned about.

"Comrade Liangping, the organization plans to transfer you to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Procuratorate as its director. I've already asked your wife, Xiao Ai, about this, and she agrees. I've called you here now to ask for your opinion."

What opinions could Hou Liangping possibly have?

He couldn't wait to take office.

After the conversation, Qin Siyuan, as is customary, reported to the Party Committee of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and then, after issuing instructions, formally sent a letter to the General Office of the Handong Provincial Party Committee to solicit opinions.

The news spread quickly from the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee.

The first to find out were undoubtedly the members of the Standing Committee.

At Lu Yike's home, Lu Yike, who had been nervous for several days, was clearly bewildered when she heard the news. What was originally a sure thing had now changed. If it were Chen Hai being reinstated, Lu Yike might not be so upset, but the person who came was Hou Liangping, who had been parachuted in from the capital.

Judge Wu was the most furious of all. He had been running around trying to smooth things over for his daughter, but now the sure thing was about to slip away. The more Judge Wu thought about it, the angrier he became.

He took out his phone and, ignoring everything else, dialed Lu Zheng'an directly.

"Hey, Lao Lu?"

"Yes, I'm here."

"You know the news, right? The Supreme People's Procuratorate is planning to parachute in a division chief to become the bureau chief. Isn't that blatant bullying of Handong?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng'an fell silent. Generally speaking, the Supreme People's Procuratorate only interferes in the appointment and removal of local procuratorates for important positions such as the chief procurator and deputy chief procurator. The position of the director of the anti-corruption bureau is not so important that the Supreme People's Procuratorate would disregard local sentiments and force it in.

There is only one answer: it was the people of Handong who took the initiative to request Hou Liangping to take up a post in Handong from within the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

There is only one person in the entire Handong area with such power, and that is Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin!

"Old Wu, how's Yike doing now?"

Instead of directly responding to Judge Wu's complaints, Lu Zheng'an inquired about Lu Yike's condition.

Mentioning this made Judge Wu even angrier.

"Old Lu, Yi Ke is completely dumbfounded right now. She's sitting on the sofa like a puppet, and she won't say a word when I ask her. I'm really worried that something might happen to Yi Ke."

We can't just let this go!

"If this guy surnamed Hou wants to come to Handong and try to take the position of bureau chief, then let's give him a shot!"

After saying that, Judge Wu hung up the phone.

Lu Zheng'an stared at the disconnected phone in silence for a long time. He had basically established the necessary connections, but then Hou Liangping was suddenly sent to Handong, which was a slap in the face for Lu Zheng'an, a resounding one.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zheng'an decided to give it a shot. He wouldn't fight for the steamed bun, he would fight for his pride. He absolutely couldn't remain silent!

Compared to the anger and actions of Lu Yike's family, when Chen Yanshi learned that Hou Liangping had come to Handong to serve as the director, he was constantly cursing at home, spewing out words like "little gold" and "ungrateful wretch." Chen Hai, sitting on the sofa, was utterly exhausted.

However, Chen Yanshi had no other choice but to curse. Compared to Lu Zheng'an, the gap was too great.

2:50 p.m.

Chen Luo, who was sitting in his office looking at documents, was taken aback when he saw Minister Xu's name on his phone, and then answered the call.

"Good afternoon, Minister Xu!"

"There are no outsiders here, so call him senior."

Chen Luo smiled and said generously, "Senior!"

"Hmm, I have a question for you. I heard that the head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau at your Handong Procuratorate is getting a new job? And it's someone being parachuted in from Beijing?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo immediately took his voice seriously.

"Yes, senior. Secretary Sha Ruijin wants to transfer Director Zhong's son-in-law from Beijing to Handong to be the spearhead of the anti-corruption campaign."

"The Zhong family's son-in-law? Interesting. It was Zhong Zhengguo who led the opposition against you going to the National Development and Reform Commission, which is why you were sent to Handong. I didn't realize the Zhong family had such a long reach."

"By the way, the person who called you was Lu Zheng'an from Handong. He asked someone to contact me because he knows about our relationship. He wanted me to see if I could stop the Zhong family's son-in-law from coming to Handong, and also give Lu Zheng'an's daughter, Lu Yike, a push."

Chen Luo remained silent for a moment after hearing this.

"Senior, I'm afraid I can't do it. I've already spoken with Secretary Sha Ruijin about this. The current director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Lü Liang, is an alumnus of our Peking University. Secretary Sha Ruijin has agreed to transfer Lü Liang to the position of Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Minister Xu pondered for a moment before smiling and saying, "It's alright. Since you've already reached a consensus with Secretary Sha Ruijin, then let's leave it at that. However, it would be beneficial for you to help Lu Zheng'an with his connections."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo instantly understood its deeper meaning.

"Senior, it wouldn't be a problem if Lu Yike could accept other positions. I'm about to retire as the director of the Supervision Office under the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. I can retire early and let Lu Yike, this young man, take over the work."

Minister Xu's eyes lit up upon hearing this!

"Oh? What a coincidence? Let me ask first. If the Lu family agrees, they will contact you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo's expression was quite interesting; this whole scene seemed to have taken an unexpected turn.

However, what Chen Luo just said is actually true; the director of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Direct Supervision Office is only one year away from retirement.

Although he usually followed Chen Luo's instructions, Chen Luo was not satisfied with the perfunctory attitude of someone who was about to retire. He just didn't have a suitable replacement. Now, if Lu Yike was willing to come, Chen Luo would really be willing to let her come!

It's perfect to have her represent the Political and Legal Affairs Commission to supervise the public security, procuratorate, and courts, and even go down to the grassroots level to uphold judicial fairness and justice. She has a powerful background, isn't afraid of offending people, and is an unmarried, strong woman. She's simply a chosen one!

Chen Luo had only waited for about ten minutes when a call came in from an unknown number.

"Hello, this is Chen Luo."

"Secretary Chen, this is Lu Zheng'an."

"Oh, it's Commander Lu!"

"Secretary Chen, my old company commander just called me. You said there's still a vacancy for the director of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office? Do you think my family might not be qualified for the position?"

Chen Luo immediately understood that Lu Zheng'an was willing.

The reply was direct: "Comrade Lu Yike has good work ability and discipline; I think she's very suitable!"

Hearing Chen Luo say it was suitable, Lu Zheng'an finally relaxed a little. Although he couldn't become the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, becoming the director of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office was no worse than becoming the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and he wouldn't have to offend people anymore.

Lu Zheng'an was very satisfied!
