The country entrusted me to buy an aircraft carrier, Hou Liangping, do you dare to investigate?

Lu Yike ignored everyone else's opinions and stared straight at Hou Liangping.

"According to you, you had already captured Huang Feipeng, so why did you release him in the end? That doesn't make sense."

As she spoke, Lu Yike looked at Hou Liangping with suspicion.

"You didn't actually catch it at all, did you?"

Hou Liangping's expression changed, and then he said loudly.

"What do you know? This is a strategy. If we arrest Huang Feipeng, do you think Zhao Ruilong will just ignore it?"

"At that time, not only will we have to release Huang Feipeng, but more importantly, we'll alert the enemy and let Zhao Ruilong, this big fish, go. Then, who will bear the responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yike's eyes widened as she looked at Hou Liangping in surprise. How did this become her responsibility again?

Hou Liangping saw her like this and said calmly.

"Alright, Director Lu, I know you're anxious about the case, so I don't blame you."

"But when we do things, we can't just look at what's in front of us."

“If you want results, now that you’ve brought Cai Chenggong back, go and interrogate him. He must know something.”

"At that time, we can arrest quite a few people."

"But Director Lu, I advise you to think about the bigger picture. If we alert the enemy, all our previous efforts will be wasted."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yike's chest heaved with anger.

Chen Dong and the others were looking at the ground, as if it were a masterpiece.

After Hou Liangping finished explaining, he told everyone to disperse.

The next morning, Lu Yike arrived at the Anti-Corruption Bureau with a somber face.

But to his surprise, before he could even settle in, Hou Liangping called him out and asked him to take him to a meeting at the provincial party committee.

Lu Yike was puzzled, because Hou Liangping, given his status, did not have the qualifications to attend meetings at the provincial party committee.

However, she didn't ask any more questions. She had already seen through Hou Liangping; he never kept his word.

Lu Yike deeply despised this.

Just as he was waiting for Hou Liangping at the entrance of the provincial party committee compound, the phone rang.

Lu Yike answered the phone and heard a female voice on the other end.

"Hello, this is Zhong Xiaoai from the Discipline Inspection Commission. We spoke on the phone last time."

Lu Yike was taken aback upon hearing this, then seemed to realize something.

"Are you Director Hou's wife?"

Zhong Xiaoai breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly said.

"Yes, the reason I called you this time is to ask who your Director Hou's recent actions have been centered around?"

Lu Yike frowned upon hearing this; Zhong Xiaoai's question was rather inappropriate.

Although she was from the Discipline Inspection Commission and was also Hou Liangping's wife, their actions had to be kept secret.

If Zhong Xiaoai leaks the secret and the operation fails, that would be terrible.

When Zhong Xiaoai heard that there was no response from the other end, she realized something and slowly said.

"Sorry, I was abrupt."

"The reason I'm so anxious is that Hou Liangping has been reported for alleged corruption. That's why I asked him this question."

"I just want to know who reported our Liangping."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yike frowned deeply and then subconsciously looked towards the provincial party committee office building.

If what Zhong Xiaoai said is true, then why didn't Hou Liangping show it just now?

Is this the topic of discussion at this meeting?

He was just telling me to do this and that?

Moreover, he made such boastful remarks while working at the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Wait a minute, although Lu Yike didn't know much about Hou Liangping, she knew that he would never embezzle or accept bribes.

Therefore, someone must be framing Hou Liangping.

Thinking of this, Lu Yike's first suspect was Huang Feipeng.

There was no way around it; ever since Hou Liangping arrived in Handong, he had been putting all his effort into dealing with this person.

Lu Yike pursed her lips and said in a deep voice.

"Is that so, Director Zhong? Since Director Hou came to Handong, the person he has been investigating has been Huang Feipeng."

Zhong Xiaoai was taken aback when she heard the name, since it was the same surname as the leader who had praised Hou Liangping. But then she shook her head violently.

If Huang Feipeng had a connection with that person, that person wouldn't have brought up Hou Liangping; instead, Hou Liangping should have been transferred away from here and dealt with in the shadows for a while.

However, since that person mentioned Hou Liangping and even praised him, there is absolutely no relationship between the two.

Zhong Xiaoai's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down.

At least when Zhong Zhengguo told her that there were people in Handong that their family couldn't afford to mess with, she kept it in mind.

So whenever Huang Feipeng is mentioned, she can't help but think of Huang Dingbo.

However, if the two are unrelated, then Hou Liangping's investigation of Huang Feipeng should have led to this outcome, right?

Zhong Xiaoai frowned slightly and said with a hint of doubt.

"Director Lu, the Huang Feipeng you mentioned, is he a leader in which unit?"

Lu Yike gave a wry smile upon hearing this.

"No, he's just a small-time businessman."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai's pupils dilated sharply, and she said in disbelief.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. If he were just a small-time businessman, Liangping would have arrested him long ago."

Lu Yike curled her lip indifferently, as if to say something like, "Your Hou Liangping is so capable. If it weren't for the Zhong family backing him up..."

However, she wouldn't say these words aloud; she just said them lightly.

"Huang Feipeng is not just a simple businessman. He is now the actual controller of Dafeng Factory and is involved in Dafeng Factory's confidential projects."

"Since Director Hou arrived in Handong, he immediately sought out Huang Feipeng, and that's why the operation failed yesterday."

"Director Hou also confidently stated that he had found the person behind Huang Feipeng, and that the reason for not taking action now was simply to lure an even bigger fish into the trap."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai secretly rolled her eyes. She knew her own man best.

Hou Liangping must have boasted before the operation, so he just made up an excuse after the operation failed.

However, the fact that Huang Feipeng was able to make Hou Liangping suffer a setback suggests that the person behind him is not simple either.

Wait, Dafeng Factory?

Isn't this the reason why Hou Liangping was sent to the police station for the second time?

Was it Huang Feipeng last time?

No wonder Hou Liangping wanted to cause trouble for Huang Feipeng as soon as he arrived in Handong.

It turns out there was some grudge between them.

However, none of these factors could scare Zhong Xiaoai, who snorted coldly.

"Since he's just a small-time businessman, it's not a problem. I'm sure your bureau chief will get through this safely, so you don't need to worry."

"Director Lu, your Director Hou should have already assigned you tasks, right?"
