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

Hou Liangping walked inside triumphantly.

Cai Chenggong then led him outside and introduced him to the surroundings.

Hou Liangping glanced at the route they were taking, realizing it wasn't the way to the factory, and gave a cold smile.

"Hey monkey, what's wrong? We're already inside, aren't you going to let us see what's inside your factory? That's not very nice of you."

Cai Chenggong watched as Hou Liangping regained his composure and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

I'm saving your life, monkey! Don't be ungrateful.

However, he knew that Hou Liangping was like a man possessed, and he would not believe him if he said that; he would definitely go in and see for himself.

Therefore, Cai Chenggong could only say it calmly.

"It's just making clothes, what's so interesting about it? It's a mess inside, let's not go in."

"By the way, didn't you want to investigate corruption? You must want to see the ledgers, right? Let's go to the office, I'll show you the ledgers."

Hou Liangping sneered. He was investigating corruption, but not corruption at Dafeng Factory. Dafeng Factory wasn't worth his personal trip.

The things in the factory are more valuable than the account books now.

Thinking of this, Hou Liangping said calmly.

"Hey, what are you saying? As cadres of the Party, we need to go deep into the grassroots so that we can truly understand the hardships faced by those at the grassroots level and better serve the people in the future, right?"

“We people finally have this opportunity, and given our relationship, it’s perfect for us to go and see it.”

"Baozi, you wouldn't refuse to give me this face, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Chenggong could only manage a wry smile. In the past, he would have been indifferent; it was just a matter of going in for a look, and he wouldn't have suffered any loss.

I'll give them face then.

But the things inside have to be kept secret. Not only are the things themselves a secret, but there's also a fully armed squad of soldiers inside. If you, Hou Liangping, go in, you'll come out lying down.

Why is Hou Liangping so stubborn?

Thinking of this, Cai Chenggong quickly grabbed Hou Liangping's arm.

“I know, I know, brother, you’re dedicated to public service, but now that you’re in the factory, you have to listen to me. That’s what we just agreed on.”

"How about this, come sit in my office first. I'll get the ledgers out for you so you can take a good look at them. After the workers leave, I'll take you inside to have a look, okay?"

To be honest, this was already Cai Chenggong's biggest concession. You have to understand that workers aren't allowed to enter after get off work, and if he let them in, he would most likely be punished.

But compared to Hou Liangping's life, what does it matter if I suffer a little punishment?

That's what Cai Chenggong was thinking, but Hou Liangping wasn't.

In his view, Cai Chenggong first blocked him at the gate and wouldn't let him in, and now that he's in, he's not letting him into the factory. There must be something shady going on.

So no matter how nicely you say it, you won't listen to it.

Go to his office? Or come after get off work?

Wouldn't that be too late? Wasn't Ding Yizhen's case enough to warn us?

Going to his office yourself gives them time to move, right?

How could such a good thing happen?

I, Hou Liangping, am a man who swore to be at odds with gambling and prostitution. How could I possibly be fooled by your little tricks?

Thinking this, Hou Liangping glanced at the surrounding factory buildings and became increasingly suspicious. So much time had passed and not a single worker had come out to check.

You should know that we were wasting a lot of time and making quite a commotion at the door.

Logically speaking, the people in the factory should have heard the commotion and at least one or two would have come out to see what was going on.

But what about the people from Dafeng Factory? None. Doesn't that say something?

Hou Liangping seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes narrowed.

If it's a drug manufacturing site, then it makes sense; the workers inside must have been controlled by drug traffickers with firearms.

That's why they ignore what's happening outside.

The thought of ordinary people being controlled inside made Hou Liangping excited.

This is a great achievement, even though it wasn't within my job scope, it's still a real accomplishment.

But if it really is as he thinks, then we can't just rush in like this.

It seems I still need to find an opportunity to call some people over so that I can leave this place while ensuring my own safety.

Thinking of this, Hou Liangping glanced at Cai Chenggong and said with a smile.

"Okay, let me sit over there for a while. Oh, I just remembered something. I'll make a call first, and you can take them in."

Cai Chenggong looked at Hou Liangping and smiled bitterly to himself. He knew all too well Hou Liangping's little tricks; he just wanted to get rid of him so he could get in.

But that won't do. If I really let him do that, I'll be the one harming him.

So he said with a smile.

"Go ahead and make the call. I'll wait for you here. You've come all this way, how could I not personally entertain you? Hey you, take these leaders to the office."

Cai Chenggong called over a worker, gave him an instruction, and then waited with a smile.

When the investigators saw this, they all looked at Hou Liangping.

Hou Liangping shook his head slightly, becoming increasingly certain of his own thoughts.

They've started monitoring me now; it seems like something's really going on here.

Hou Liangping disregarded everything else, took out his phone, and thought about calling Zhong Xiaoai. After all, it was such a big matter that he needed to contact the police, or even the military, and he also needed to let his wife know.

But the next moment, he dismissed the idea. This credit belonged to him; he couldn't give it to the Zhong family. He also wanted Zhong Xiaoai to reflect on herself. As a wife, how could she abandon her husband halfway through life? She was a terrible person.

Hou Liangping frowned deeply, but finally managed to find a phone number.

"Hey, senior brother, are you free today?"

When Qi Tongwei received Hou Liangping's call while he was in his office, he frowned. Hou Liangping was from the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Was he calling him at this time to test him?

After all, I'm not exactly clean myself.

But after thinking for a while and not figuring out why, Qi Tongwei still answered the phone.

As soon as the call connected, this was the first thing the other end of the line said.

Qi Tongwei raised an eyebrow, realizing that this person wasn't looking for trouble, and then chimed in.

"What? Junior brother has come to Handong?"

"If you come to Handong, you must let your senior brother treat you."

Hou Liangping glanced at Cai Chenggong, who was trying to approach, and said with a smile.

"Yes, I wonder if you have time to come to Dafeng Factory?"
