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

Not far from the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Old Zhao glanced nervously at the gate of the Anti-Corruption Bureau not far away.

To be honest, he wasn't familiar with Zhao Ruilong. The only time they crossed paths was when he asked someone to help him find a job, and Zhao Ruilong casually pointed out some things.

In this way, the two became acquainted.

At the beginning of this year, my spouse fell ill, which made our already impoverished family even worse off.

Old Zhao has to frown every day, thinking about where to get some money.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruilong found out about this and just called him to say those things.

To be honest, Lao Zhao was uneasy. After all, this was a government unit, not some small place. If others found out that he had set fire to the anti-corruption bureau, he would go to jail.

However, thinking of his bedridden wife and his idle son, Lao Zhao gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try. Even if he got caught, it would be worth it.

Thinking of this, Old Zhao took a deep breath, looked at the familiar building not far away, and walked over shakily.

The anti-corruption bureau members standing guard at the entrance greeted Lao Zhao with smiles as he approached.

"Old Zhao, you're here."

Old Zhao couldn't help but shudder, then forced a smile.

"Oh, here we come."

Seeing Lao Zhao like this, the anti-corruption bureau member sighed and stepped forward to gently pat him on the shoulder.

"Old Zhao, we know about your wife's situation. Don't worry, this will pass."

Old Zhao nodded reluctantly.

"Thank you, Officer Li."

As he spoke, Old Zhao was about to walk inside.

When Officer Li saw that Lao Zhao was about to go in, he quickly stopped him.

"Wait, Lao Zhao, you can't go in now."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao subconsciously stopped in his tracks and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Officer Li smiled and shook his head, pointing to the bag on the table.

"Give me your phone first, and I'll give it back to you when we come out."

Old Zhao frowned slightly upon hearing this. What had happened? They were taking away his phone?

However, upon hearing this, Lao Zhao did not refuse and obediently placed his phone on the table.

Seeing this, Officer Li nodded in agreement.

"Alright, go inside. Once you're inside, get to work. Talk less and look less, understand?"

Old Zhao frowned slightly upon hearing this, then nodded hurriedly.

After saying goodbye to Officer Li, Old Zhao finally stepped into the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Inside the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the atmosphere was completely different from before. Everyone was in a daze, rushing around with documents in hand.

Old Zhao had seen this kind of anti-corruption bureau before. Whenever a major case was about to be solved, everyone would get busy.

Old Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

The anti-corruption bureau deals with corrupt officials. If he does what Zhao Ruilong says, will he release the corrupt officials?

Thinking of this, Lao Zhao paused, subconsciously turned around, and prepared to go to the director's office of the anti-corruption bureau. But just as he took this step, his wife's face appeared before his eyes.

Old Zhao shook his head and sighed. Perhaps, even if he set the fire, that corrupt official wouldn't be able to escape.

Although he knew the chances of this happening were slim, that was all he could tell himself at the moment.

If he just throws away a cigarette butt, his wife's illness will be cured, and he won't have to worry about his son's job. Following that young master Zhao, he'll definitely make a lot of money, and his life will be stable for the rest of his days.

With this in mind, Old Zhao made up his mind and subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall.

Ten minutes to go.

Old Zhao muttered to himself as he went to the storage room to get his tools and began to slowly clean.

Just as he finished cleaning a room and was about to head to the archives, a voice called out to him.

"Old Zhao, wait a minute."

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhao stopped and subconsciously turned around. The person who came was a junior officer from the logistics department of the anti-corruption bureau, who had been in charge of Lao Zhao and his colleagues.

Old Zhao immediately looked at the man respectfully.

"Officer Wang."

Officer Wang, who looked to be in his early twenties, walked over to Old Zhao and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Old Zhao, everyone knows about your situation. If you encounter any difficulties in the coming days, feel free to let me know, and I will arrange for someone to help you."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao hurriedly tried to say something.

Wang, the clerk, quickly waved his hand.

"Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged on your salary. Just focus on taking care of your wife."

As for her medical expenses.

“I have already told Director Lü about this. After a meeting, we decided that once we’re less busy, we will all donate to you. This is just a small contribution from everyone.”

When Lao Zhao heard what Officer Wang said, he was so moved that he burst into tears. He was about to do something that would let them down, but they were thinking of him. How could Lao Zhao not be moved?

His hands trembled as he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you, Officer Wang, I don't know what to say, I..."

Upon hearing this, Officer Wang nodded in satisfaction and then said with a smile.

"Alright, we're all acquaintances now. If you're in trouble, how can we just sit idly by and do nothing?"

"Go on with your work. The bureau is very busy right now, as you can see. So, finish your work quickly and go home."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao nodded quickly.

"Okay, thank you, Officer Wang. I'll get back to work now."

With that, Old Zhao picked up his tools and continued walking toward the archives.

Looking at Old Zhao's hunched back, Officer Wang sighed and then turned to attend to his own business.

Old Zhao was in a terrible dilemma. On one hand, he appreciated the kindness the anti-corruption bureau had shown him, and on the other hand, he had his wife and son.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the archives.

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the inside, and the staff in the archives sighed when they saw Old Zhao's distraught appearance.

"Old Zhao, you have to be careful when you're cleaning up later, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Old Zhao snapped out of his daze upon hearing this, looked at the officer who had spoken to him, and nodded faintly.

At this point, he had made up his mind.

Compared to the donations from the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Zhao Ruilong's side gave more.

Most importantly, others may not know that you did this, and you could easily avoid suspicion.

This is practically free money; how could he not do it?

Old Zhao took a deep breath. For the sake of his wife and son, he had no choice but to apologize to the anti-corruption bureau.

Thinking of this, Old Zhao pushed open the door and went inside.

The archives room was spotless at this moment.

Old Zhao quickly packed up his things, throwing all the trash into the bin.

After looking around and finding no one, Old Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. He then shakily took out his cigarette and lighter, and lit the cigarette with the lighter.
