The car door was opened with a "whoosh", revealing Hou Liangping in a neat prosecutor's uniform, with the prosecutor's badge on his chest flashing a cold light under the light.

His face showed the excitement of a hunter locking onto his prey, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes were sharp enough to penetrate the window of the Red Flag car.

"Anti-Corruption Bureau! Everyone in the car, get out and submit to inspection!"

Zhao Yuanchao smiled: "It's great. Coming to Jingzhou, I'm exposed to things that I couldn't have encountered otherwise."

Hou Liangping looked down and took out his ID!

"Get out of the car and cooperate with the investigation!" Hou Liangping's voice was loud and decisive, with the authority of a superior.

The guard was about to draw his gun.

Zhao Yuanchao stopped him: "Don't cause panic, just look at the situation."

"Yes!"

The back door of the car slowly opened, and the guard got out first. He was tall, expressionless, and his eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

Hou Liangping's eyes were fixed on Zhao Yuanchao.

This man is not young, but he has an extraordinary demeanor and is obviously an important person.

The Hongqi H9 may seem low-key, but it is the latest executive-level car and it costs at least several million.

——Yes, it’s him!

Hou Liangping was ecstatic, all the clues matched.

Zhao Yuanchao stopped the guard's next move and said, "Don't make any noise. Let me see how deep the water is in Handong Province!"

Zhao Yuanchao walked out of the car.

He was dressed in dark casual clothes, his figure was as straight as a pine tree. Even though he was surrounded by a dozen people with hostile eyes, there was no panic on his face, only the calmness and majesty of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

Hou Liangping smiled!

A "big boss" with a mysterious identity, driving a luxury car, and secretly sneaking into Handong, isn't this the big corrupt fish he has always wanted to catch?

As long as we catch him and pry open his mouth, this shocking case will be half solved!

By then, the Guangming Peak project in Jingzhou and the rumors about the young master of the Zhao family will become a highlight in Hou Liangping's achievement book.

Hou Liangping waved his hand without any hesitation.

"Take it!"

Chapter 2 Hou Liangping in Action

Hou Liangping ordered several prosecutors to step forward immediately and begin searching the vehicle roughly.

The guard's brows furrowed instantly, and just as he was about to take a step forward, he was stopped by a very subtle look from Zhao Yuanchao.

He came here this time to look for his soldiers.

Six of his soldiers were missing in Handong Province, and he wanted to find them all.

If you can't find his soldiers, then put down the rebellion!

If their identities were revealed, how would Handong Province, deceiving their superiors and subordinates, find soldiers?

Zhao Yuanchao just stood there quietly, letting those people rummage through the drawers and boxes. His eyes fell calmly on Hou Liangping. His eyes were as deep as an ancient well, without any ripples, but it made people feel cold in their hearts.

Hou Liangping felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, but he quickly suppressed the discomfort. Instead, he walked forward more arrogantly and took out his ID and waved it in front of Zhao Yuanchao.

"Hou Liangping, Director of the Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate."

He spoke each word with a tone full of boasting, "You, come with us. There are some things that require your cooperation in the investigation."

Zhao Yuanchao entered Handong, but the way he entered Handong was different.

Anti-Corruption Bureau.

The light in the interrogation room was so pale and dazzling that it made the walls appear bloodless.

A cold iron table and two chairs.

Hou Liangping was sitting on one side of the table and slammed a file onto the table, raising a cloud of dust.

He crossed his legs, leaned back, folded his arms across his chest, and looked down at Zhao Yuanchao opposite him with a condescending gaze.

He liked this feeling, the feeling of playing with the so-called "big shots" in the palm of his hand.

This is the taste of power and the thrill of justice.

"Name?"

Zhao Yuanchao was silent.

"age?"

Zhao Yuanchao was silent.

"Profession?"

Zhao Yuanchao remained silent. He didn't even raise his eyelids. Hou Liangping in front of him was just a piece of air.

The guard standing behind him clenched his fists until they turned white, and his knuckles crackled.

"Hey, you're pretty tough, huh?"

Hou Liangping sneered, leaning forward with his hands on the table, almost getting in Zhao Yuanchao's face. "I'm telling you, once you enter my place, you'll have to coil like a dragon and lie down like a tiger! Don't think you'll be fine if you don't say anything. We have plenty of time and means to make you speak!"

He paused, his tone inducing, "If you confess now, it can still be considered a confession. But if we present all the evidence to you, the situation will change. Think about your family and your children. Don't let them be ruined because of you."

Zhao Yuanchao finally responded.

He slowly raised his head and met Hou Liangping's gaze for the first time.

What kind of eyes are those?

There is no fear, no anger, only a bottomless coldness and silence, and the polar glaciers that have never melted for thousands of years.

Hou Liangping's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously tried to avoid that gaze.

There's something wrong with this old guy.

At this moment, a rapid ring broke the suffocating silence in the interrogation room.

It was the encrypted phone in Zhao Yuanchao's pocket.

The guard subconsciously wanted to take it, but Hou Liangping was faster and took out the phone first.

Two words were jumping on the screen - "Ruijin".

Hou Liangping's pupils suddenly contracted!

Ruijin?

Handong Province, who dares to call it this name?

An absurd yet extremely tempting idea exploded in his mind!

Could it be Sha Ruijin, the provincial party secretary? !

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

How could Sha Ruijin be connected with a corrupt official of unknown origin?

Yes, it must be a code name!

It’s the internal code name of their corrupt gang!

This "Rui Jin" must be his superior!

Hou Liangping's heart was pounding, he felt like he had found a huge clue!

He thrust the phone screen in front of Zhao Yuanchao, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "What's up? Your backer called? Answer it! I want to hear what he has to say to you!"

Zhao Yuanchao's eyes swept across the phone screen, then fell back on Hou Liangping's face, which was distorted with excitement.

He didn't answer the phone.

He just watched quietly, his eyes even showing...

mercy?

The cell phone rings stubbornly, over and over again, like a death spell.

Zhao Yuanchao seemed deaf and let the bell echo in the silent interrogation room before returning to silence.

Hou Liangping was completely enraged.

"Good! Good job! If you don't accept my toast, I'll drink the wine for you!"

He slammed the table and pointed at Zhao Yuanchao's nose: "I'm telling you, don't even think about shielding anyone! If you don't speak up today, don't even think about leaving this door!"

In the provincial party secretary's office, Sha Ruijin paced back and forth anxiously.

The call was made, but the other party was prompted that the call could not be connected.

This is so abnormal.

Zhao Yuanchao's mobile phone is a military encrypted line. Unless it is turned off or destroyed, it is impossible to get through.

A strong sense of uneasiness gripped his heart.

Zhao Yuanchao entered Handong under the pretext of a secret investigation without notifying any local department.

If something happened to him in Handong...

Sha Ruijin didn't dare to think any further.

He picked up the red phone on the table and dialed Qi Tongwei without hesitation.

"I order you to immediately raise the alert level in Jingzhou and the entire province! Conduct a covert search of all major intersections in and out of Handong. Note, this is a covert search! Don't make too much noise, but don't let any suspicious vehicles or individuals go unnoticed!"

"What happened, Secretary Sha?"

Qi Tongwei's voice was filled with surprise and suspicion: "Secretary, what's going on? Such a big move will cause panic!"

"Excuting an order!"

Sha Ruijin's voice was cold, like a piece of ice hitting the telephone line, followed by the decisive sound of hanging up.
