Upon hearing this, Lu Yike frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Ye Zi.

Why would a deputy chief prosecutor who hadn't even taken office yet think of calling him at this time?

If anyone's going to fight, it should be Ji Changming.

However, since Zhang Li is the deputy chief prosecutor, he must have something important to say if he calls me.

Based on the current situation, Lu Yike seemed to have a guess.

Perhaps it's the methods of the person in front of you.

Lu Yike took a deep breath, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, I didn't offend Ye Zi just now, otherwise, my days in the Anti-Corruption Bureau would not be easy.

Thinking of this, Lu Yike's tone softened considerably.

"Chief Prosecutor Zhang, what's the matter that you called me about?"

Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lu Yike say that.

Although he is the soon-to-be deputy chief prosecutor, he has not yet taken office. It is possible that the people in the Handong Anti-Corruption Bureau might not give him face.

Not to mention, Lu Yike also has powerful backers.

Therefore, Lu Yike's performance greatly relieved him.

Although he had a good relationship with Zhao Xiaohui, he knew very well who the real big shot was.

Compared to the Ye family, the Zhao family is nothing.

If he wants his future career to develop better, he must cling to the powerful figure in front of him.

Sure enough, Zhao Xiaohui called him. Knowing the situation, he didn't care about anything else and called Lu Yike.

All this was to make a good impression on Ye Zi.

Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief, but also maintained his own attitude.

"Director Lu, I am now ordering you to obey the orders of the person in front of you. Do you understand what I mean?"

When Lu Yike heard Zhang Li's tone suddenly change from amiable to amiable, she frowned slightly, and then gradually realized what he meant.

This deputy chief prosecutor was clearly saying that you shouldn't mess with this person in front of you, and that you'd better obey orders.

Lu Yike subconsciously looked at Ye Zi, then slowly hung up the phone.

Seeing Lu Yike's expression, Ye Zi also spoke calmly.

"Now, can we inform Zhong Xiaoai?"

Lu Yike nodded slightly upon hearing this; Zhang Li's phone call had indeed gotten her out of a tight spot.

Thinking of this, Lu Yike called Zhong Xiaoai.

……

Meanwhile, the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau was filled with laughter and jubilation. Finally, the person who had repeatedly thwarted their plans was brought back.

This means that their work will go much more smoothly from now on.

Originally, they only captured Chen Qingquan. At first, he was quite stubborn, but as time went on, he seemed to understand his situation.

Therefore, he confessed to many things that he could, including the origin of the eight million.

According to him, it was given to him by people from the Shanshui Group, in connection with the Dafeng Factory case a year ago.

Upon learning of the situation, everyone became excited.

This is clearly a group of people conspiring to embezzle state assets.

Therefore, the interrogation of Huang Feipeng and Cai Chenggong was extremely important.

Just as they were about to press their advantage and continue interrogating Chen Qingquan, he suddenly shut his mouth, refusing to utter a single word no matter how much they pleaded with him.

Chen Qingquan wasn't stupid. He had only said those things to improve his treatment. If he continued, he would never be able to get out of here.

Even the anti-corruption bureau couldn't do anything about him.

Cai Chenggong and Huang Feipeng encountered setbacks one after another.

Fortunately, they brought Cai Chenggong back the day before yesterday.

During the interrogation, Cai Chenggong was not as confident as Chen Qingquan, and it looked like he was about to confess.

But the next moment, as if he had received some news, he became extremely calm and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

This left the anti-corruption bureau staff feeling frustrated.

Then their director, Hou Liangping, was suspended from his duties, which further silenced the already demoralized anti-corruption bureau.

Fortunately, today, Hou Liangping's wife, Zhong Xiaoai, the woman behind Hou Liangping that everyone talks about, appeared at the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

As soon as Zhong Xiaoai arrived, she swiftly collected everyone's phones.

Everyone was angry but dared not speak out, after all, she was a member of the investigation team sent down from above, not to mention that the Zhong family was behind her.

They're someone no one can afford to offend.

Then, Zhong Xiaoai led her men to capture Huang Feipeng.

At this, everyone's resentment vanished without a trace, and they all sighed that Hou Liangping had married a good wife.

Now the case can be expedited.

Why are they so eager for quick success and instant benefits?

It's all because we let Ding Yizhen escape back then, making everyone lose face and desperately need a case to turn things around.

Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, how can we not be excited?

Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Zhong Xiaoai breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to calm them down.

"Alright, quiet down. Now get moving and begin the interrogation of Cai Chenggong, Huang Feipeng, and Chen Qingquan."

Just as Zhong Xiaoai was about to assign tasks, the phone rang.

Zhong Xiaoai frowned, picked up her phone and glanced at it. She saw that it was Lu Yike, which made her even more puzzled.

It's been so long, why hasn't Lu Yike come back yet?

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Xiaoai waved her hand to quiet everyone down, and then answered the phone.

"Hey, Director Lu, where are you? Why aren't you back yet? Do you know what's going on?"

Before Lu Yike on the other end of the phone could explain, Ye Zi took the phone from her.

Ye Zi listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, then chuckled and said indifferently.

"Zhong Xiaoai from the Zhong family, right?"

When Zhong Xiaoai heard that it wasn't Lu Yike on the other end of the phone, she frowned slightly and asked.

"Who are you? Where is Lu Yike?"

Ye Zi glanced at the astonished Lu Yike, then said calmly.

"Don't worry, Director Lu, everything's fine. Let me introduce myself first."

"My surname is Ye, and I come from the south."

"There's only one reason I'm talking to you: I feel there are some things we need to discuss face-to-face."

"I wonder if Director Zhong has time to come out and have a chat in person?"

Upon hearing that the Ye family came from the south, Zhong Xiaoai immediately understood their identities.

No wonder the other person called her Zhong Xiao'ai from the Zhong family.

But why did the Ye family want to see me?

You should know that I have never had any dealings with the Ye family, so we have no connection whatsoever.

At this critical juncture, the other party's request for a face-to-face meeting must have some ulterior motive.

Zhong Xiaoai glanced at the anti-corruption bureau personnel in front of her, then frowned.

She would have gone at any other time, but now was not the time to meet, Zhong Xiaoai said calmly.

"Just say what's on your mind..."
