Zhong Xiaoai glanced at the time and then said calmly.

"Then you can continue your work as Director Hou instructed."

"As for the rest, I will go to Handong with the investigation team right away, and we will talk about it when we meet there."

With that, Zhong Xiaoai hung up the phone.

Lu Yike stared blankly at her phone and sighed speechlessly.

Who is this person? How do we do things without you giving us orders?

Even though you have the Zhong family behind you, you can't expect everyone to follow your orders.

This is too overbearing.

Now I finally understand why Hou Liangping acts this way; it seems he's just like you.

Lu Yike shook her head and glanced helplessly at the provincial party committee office building.

Although she harbored many grievances against Hou Liangping, she was still somewhat worried about him, after all, he was her superior.

With a sigh, Lu Yike started the car. Since Hou Liangping had come to the provincial party committee to discuss this matter, it would certainly take quite a while.

Instead of staying here, we might as well go back to the Anti-Corruption Bureau and start questioning Tsai Cheng-gong to see if we can make any breakthroughs.

At that time, regardless of whether Hou Liangping is suspended from his post, their anti-corruption bureau's work will not be delayed.

……

Meanwhile, in the provincial party committee building, in the conference room.

Sha Ruijin spoke eloquently in front, while Ji Changming looked helplessly at Hou Liangping not far away.

Given Ji Changming's personality, he would absolutely not want to get involved in this kind of thing.

But there's nothing I can do; the person who made the mistake is one of my own subordinates.

Although he acted rashly, his heart was good.

When you come to a meeting, can you please keep a low profile and look more serious?

If you let the higher-ups see that you have realized your mistake, they will let you off the hook.

But what about you?

Look at you now, you even have a faint smile on your face, looking quite smug.

How much hate does this person have?

Ji Changming had been silently accumulating anger; he had to wait until Sha Ruijin finished speaking before stepping out to stop Hou Liangping's behavior.

Otherwise, if he gets suspended from his post, he, as the chief prosecutor, will be the one who loses face.

As soon as Sha Ruijin finished speaking, Ji Changming slammed his hand on the table.

"Director Hou, stand up. You should know the main purpose of today's meeting. Now give the leaders present a reasonable explanation."

That slap was exceptionally loud.

Li Dakang, Gao Yuliang, and Sha Ruijin all frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Ji Changming.

You have to understand, Ji Changming wasn't always this high-profile.

But what came next made everyone realize that this was to protect Hou Liangping.

Hou Liangping was taken aback when he heard Ji Changming's words, then stood up and said with a serious expression.

"Distinguished leaders, I already know the purpose of today's meeting."

"First of all, I admit my mistake here. Yesterday, in order to arrest Huang Feipeng, I used some inappropriate methods..."

Upon hearing Hou Liangping's evasive statement, Ji Changming frowned and quickly interrupted Hou Liangping.

"Wait, tell me all the methods and approaches."

Everyone here knows what happened yesterday. Do you, Hou Liangping, really think we're all fools?

Not telling the truth now will only make people have a worse impression of you.

Hou Liangping glanced at Ji Changming, knowing that this matter could not be hidden any longer, and sighed.

"Yesterday, Huang Feipeng was handling the handover of goods from Dafeng Factory, which involved the military."

"In order to prevent what happened to Ding Yizhen from happening again, I had no choice but to order people to follow his car closely with sirens blaring."

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Hou Liangping quickly added.

"Of course, I did this just to avoid conflict with the military, but I didn't expect him to get into the airport."

"In order to subdue him as soon as possible, I led my men to break through the blocked airport, which caused unnecessary trouble."

Hou Liangping took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and quickly said.

“I had already communicated with them beforehand, so there shouldn’t have been any misunderstandings.”

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Sha Ruijin's brows furrowed even more, and his gaze toward Hou Liangping was filled with dissatisfaction.

If there's no misunderstanding, why would he receive so many phone calls yesterday?

If a misunderstanding really occurs, does that mean those old generals are going to lead their troops to surround him, the provincial party secretary?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Ji Changming's heart skipped a beat, and he slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"Nonsense, Hou Liangping, Hou Liangping, what can I say about you?"

"Who gave you the authority to breach the blockade of a classified project?"

"Do you know how many people called me yesterday? Is this what you mean by 'no misunderstanding'?"

“Let me tell you, if it weren’t for Secretary Sha standing up for you, you would have been arrested long ago.”

"Even now, you're still making excuses and have no awareness of admitting your mistakes."

Hou Liangping was startled when he heard this, and then, seeing Ji Changming's gaze, he immediately looked at Sha Ruijin.

"Secretary Sha, I..."

Sha Ruijin gave Ji Changming a deep look, watching until the old man sat down, before letting out a cold snort.

"Alright, I don't want to hear your explanation."

"As for why the military didn't take any action, maybe you're just lucky. I don't have that kind of face."

Upon hearing this, Ji Changming's face turned pale, and Hou Liangping was even more flustered, so he quickly said...

“Secretary Sha, please give me a chance. We have made a breakthrough in this operation.”

"According to our understanding, Huang Feipeng's backer is Zhao Ruilong, the son of former provincial party secretary Zhao Lichun."

"It was because of his backing that Huang Feipeng was able to get whatever he wanted in Handong."

“Secretary Sha, I assure you, as long as I am reinstated, I will definitely dig out this parasite in Handong.”

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang and Gao Yuliang frowned.

Is Zhao Ruilong the person behind Huang Feipeng?

impossible?

Upon hearing this, Ji Changming broke out in a cold sweat.

How could Hou Liangping be so clueless? Now that Sha Ruijin is about to severely punish you, you still have the nerve to say you want to be reinstated?

Who gave you the courage?

Thinking of this, Ji Changming was about to slam his fist on the table again, but a sharp look from him made him pull his hand back.

Sha Ruijin snorted coldly. Ji Changming had been trying to protect Hou Liangping throughout the conference today.

This is understandable, and it's only human nature, but he doesn't yet know who he has offended.

"Is that so? It seems our Director Hou is quite confident."
