After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

At the entrance of Pingcheng Hotel, Lu An sent Mu Qinghong to the shuttle bus arranged by the county party committee.

Ma Ningyuan, the first secretary of the county party committee, was also following the car. He told Mu Qinghong that she could contact him directly for any matters related to the food festival or the restaurant.

Mu Qinghong began to hesitate, but Ma Ningyuan reassured her: "Our job as county party committee cadres is to serve the people. No matter what troubles we encounter, it is our unshirkable responsibility!"

Lu An also nodded: "Since Director Ma has said so, Sister Hong still has to trust our people's cadres."

With Lu An's assurance, Mu Qinghong nodded with relief. Now she trusted no one but Lu An.

Afterwards, Lu An exchanged a few polite words with Ma Ningyuan, asking him to help take care of the Red Star Restaurant, before watching the county party committee's car drive away.

At this time, Zhao Hu and his men came over with a very obscene smile: "Team Leader, you look so worried, why don't you send him off yourself? The back seat of the car is quite spacious!"

Lu An glared: "Nonsense! Now is the case period, our most important task is Wei Dezheng's case!"

Lu An knew very well that all his support now came from Wei Dezheng's case. He could bring Mu Qinghong to the welcoming banquet of the county party committee to express his attitude, but he absolutely could not leave the team privately to send Mu Qinghong back, otherwise he would be accused of having work style problems and his future would be over.

Lin Kuifan returned to the county party committee and held a standing committee meeting. Lu An, Zhao Hu and Zhang Long also held a small meeting when they returned to the guesthouse.

First of all, he learned about the subsequent interrogation today. It was generally going quite smoothly. After Lu An broke through his psychological defenses, Wei Dezheng confessed all his crimes. He only concealed some information and resisted when it came to private accounts and Nanhu Old Duck Soup.

Lu An said he was not surprised: "His only hope now is to protect Li Hongxia and Wei Mengjiao, mother and daughter. The money in the account can ensure that they live a worry-free life. Nanhu Laoya Tang does not want to involve them."

Zhao Hu suggested that they should continue to scare them, perhaps there would be a breakthrough.

Lu An shook his head and thought this was not a good idea: "Don't push too hard, just let time take its course, this thing can't be rushed."

Lu An's hatred for Wei Mengjiao's family made him want to send the whole family to jail as soon as possible more than anyone else.

But at the same time, Lu An also knew that Li Hongxia and Wei Mengjiao had reached Wei Dezheng's bottom line. If he continued to force them, Wei Dezheng would probably rebel, which would ruin the current good situation.

Zhao Hu, Zhang Long and the others also agreed with Lu An's opinion. They understood that with Lu An's success in breaking through the psychological defenses, they had already encountered a good situation that they would never encounter in their entire lives. In fact, things would return to normal afterwards, so any further ideas would be wishful thinking.

"However, Wei Dezheng can relax a little bit, but we can still step up the investigation in other directions."

Lu An reminded: "For example, public security, taxation, and health."

Are you kidding? Lu Anke knew too well how big the scale of Wei Dezheng's corruption case was. There were more than 30 co-operators of Nanhu Old Duck Soup alone.

Therefore, there is no need to hang Wei Dezheng on his own. A chain of evidence can also be formed by making breakthroughs from these partners.

Zhang Long nodded and said that he would keep in touch with the police and keep an eye on the interrogation situation there, but he also said that this would not produce results in a short time.

Of course Lu An understood. After all, these partners were only "assisting in the investigation" at the moment, and the public security agency had no compulsory detention procedures. Not to mention that three to five days of detention could achieve any substantial breakthroughs, the fact that only ten people had been arrested showed that there was no way to expect a quick breakthrough here.

In addition, there are the massive accounts of Nanhu Old Duck Soup, and we have to compare them with the tax return list of the tax bureau, and carefully identify whether there are any false or concealed accounts of Nanhu Old Duck Soup. Each one of them takes a lot of time.

Lu An clapped his hands: "It doesn't matter, we just need to do our best, the current situation is very optimistic."

At the end of the meeting, Lu An arranged for Zhao Hu to carefully review today's case and write a document. They will report back to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection tomorrow.

Lu An's last words reminded Zhao Hu and the others.

Right!

This is only their first day, and this progress in the case is already quite good.

What more bike do you want?

Then they all regained their confidence.

Boom boom boom!

The door of the room was knocked open, and it was the manager of the guesthouse. He told Lu An that they had prepared midnight snacks for the leaders in accordance with the instructions of the leaders of the county discipline inspection commission.

Lu An smiled and turned back: "These are all kind words from the local comrades, let's just follow the local customs."

Then Lu An and his group followed the manager to the guesthouse restaurant, but unexpectedly there were quite a lot of people there.

Zhao Hu chuckled, "Isn't this the County Commission for Discipline Inspection guesthouse? Why is the restaurant still open to the public and the night snack so lively?"

The manager smiled and replied that it was all thanks to the leaders: "The county is taking Wei Dezheng's case very seriously and has mobilized a large number of people to participate in it. Today, the case has made a major breakthrough, so the leaders of various departments have worked overtime appropriately. Of course, this midnight snack is more lively."

He also said that if the provincial leaders had any inconveniences, he could also prepare private rooms.

Lu An waved his hand and said, "Why prepare a private room? We are all comrades on the same front. We are not superior to others, so we won't make it special."

As Lu An spoke, he and Zhao Hu and others took their trays to get their meals, then found a seat by the window and sat down.

"Team leader, something doesn't feel right!" Zhang Long whispered to Lu An.

Lu An peeled the eggs methodically: "It's just a midnight snack, let's eat as much as we can. This is the Mingzheng Guesthouse of the Pingjiang County Commission for Discipline Inspection, not some dangerous place."

Obviously Lu An also noticed it, but he was not panicked at all. He just wanted to see what the trick was.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man came over with a tray of food. Lu An and the others looked at him, but surprisingly no one said anything.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Team Leader Lu from the province? I'm from the Organization Department. My name is Wang Zhuohui."

Lu An suddenly realized what was going on and shook hands with him. "It's Section Chief Wang. Nice to meet you. Is there anything that has made Section Chief Wang so kind to entertain you?"

Wang Zhuohui said with a somewhat stiff expression that this midnight snack was the request of the county discipline inspection commission and he was only responsible for the coordination work.

Lu An chuckled and said, "No matter what, Section Chief Wang has worked hard, but we still have work to discuss. If Section Chief Wang has nothing else to do, I wonder if you can give us some space."

Lu An was forcing the emperor to abdicate: If you have something to say, say it quickly. I don’t have time to beat around the bush with you!

Wang Zhuohui had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "It's like this. I admire Team Leader Lu very much. I want to invite Team Leader Lu to dinner at Pingcheng Hotel tomorrow. I hope Team Leader Lu can honor me."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone from Lu An to Zhao Hu and Zhang Long showed very strange expressions.

Lu An stared at Wang Zhuohui playfully and asked, "Are you sure you want to treat me to a meal?"

Wang Zhuohui expressed sincerely that he still had a lot of work to do and hoped to consult provincial leaders, and hoped that Lu An would do him the honor.

Lu An then slammed the table and said, "Okay, I promise you!"
