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

Early the next morning, a row of cars was parked outside Jingzhou Airport.

At this moment, Lu Liang, the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, kept checking the time.

Today is the day Hou Liangping arrives in Jingzhou. As the saying goes, "A new emperor brings a new court." Hou Liangping is now the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, so he has to be mindful of how others treat him.

Besides, Hou Liangping was sent from the capital, so it's best not to offend him if possible.

Hou Liangping strode out wearing sunglasses.

When Lü Liang saw Hou Liangping appear, he hurriedly went to greet him.

"Director Hou, it's true that seeing is believing. I heard about your great reputation this morning."

"Putting aside other things, just look at Zhao Dehan and Ding Yizhen recently, those were all your doing. It can be said that although you haven't appeared in Handong, your reputation is very high."

"On behalf of all my colleagues in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, I welcome you. Under your leadership, the Anti-Corruption Bureau will surely achieve even greater success."

Hou Liangping's face turned ashen upon hearing this.

Ding Yizhen escaped, so what kind of success is that?

Besides, what good reputation can a place like Handong possibly have?

He's been losing face in this area repeatedly; it's just bad luck to even talk about him.

Lü Liang was completely unaware that his words had offended the horse, and he continued rambling on.

Hou Liangping impatiently interrupted him.

"Alright, Deputy Director Lü, let's talk about these things later. The situation in Handong is so serious right now, we don't have time to chat here."

"Get in the car."

Lü Liang gave an awkward laugh, and then everyone got into the car.

Lü Liang wanted to say something, but Hou Liangping was looking at Lu Yike behind him.

"Director Lu, how's the investigation going with what I told you yesterday?"

Lu Yike glanced at Hou Liangping with a somewhat strange expression.

She only discovered yesterday, when she was checking, that Hou Liangping had suffered so much at Huang Feipeng's hands, yet he was still able to remain calm.

He is indeed a person capable of great things.

So she said it calmly.

"Director Hou, our investigation revealed that Cai Chenggong met Huang Feipeng on the cruise ship. We don't know what they talked about, but Cai Chenggong received 100 million yuan after disembarking."

As she spoke, Lu Yike discreetly observed Hou Liangping's expression.

Sure enough, Hou Liangping's expression gradually turned sour. The mention of the cruise ship reminded him of what happened that day, the beginning of everything.

This time, we must take back everything we've lost.

Hou Liangping took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Alright, we'll talk about the rest of the information when we get back."

"Now tell me about the current status of the case."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yike quickly replied.

"Chen Qingquan is still in our anti-corruption bureau, waiting for you to interrogate him."

"And Chen Hai's case is now being handled entirely by Vice Governor Qi Tongwei."

Hou Liangping reached out and stopped Lu Yike from speaking.

"Wait a minute? When did Qi Tongwei become a vice governor?"

"Never mind, we'll talk about that later. Now tell me about the case."

Hou Liangping was extremely conflicted. Good heavens, Qi Tongwei actually got promoted! How did that happen? There must be some shady deal involved.

Otherwise, based on his understanding of Qi Tongwei, this position as vice governor was a long way off.

It must be so.

Lu Yike gave Hou Liangping a strange look before continuing.

"The case is progressing smoothly. The vehicle and driver involved in the accident have been arrested by Zhao Donglai, the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department."

"The case should be closed soon."

Hou Liangping nodded noncommittally upon hearing this. Was this perhaps a scapegoat?

However, he didn't say those words aloud.

However, he is now increasingly certain that there must have been some shady power-money deal involved in Qi Tongwei's promotion to vice governor.

With such poor performance, how could he have been promoted? If he hadn't used underhanded tactics, how could he have gotten promoted?

Surprisingly, the deputy director-general snatched the case away first.

As far as he knew, Zhao Donglai and Qi Tongwei were not from the same faction. Perhaps this matter would disappoint their teacher.

Hearing Lu Yike's report, Hou Liangping's lips curled into a smile.

The more chaotic things became in the east of the Han Dynasty, the more opportunities he had to make meritorious contributions.

Thinking of this, Hou Liangping felt a little better.

Just then, the car slowly came to a stop.

Lü Liang's voice rang out.

"Director Hou, we've arrived."

Hou Liangping nodded slightly and got out of the car with the others.

A short while later, the group arrived at the conference room.

The room was already full of people, all waiting for Hou Liangping's arrival.

Hou Liangping couldn't help but smile with satisfaction upon seeing this.

Seeing this, Lü Liang hurriedly spoke up.

"This is Comrade Hou Liangping, sent from the capital. From now on, everyone will work under Director Hou's leadership. Let's welcome Director Hou to speak."

In an instant, loud applause rang out in the conference room.

Hou Liangping reached out and pressed down, and the conference room immediately fell silent.

Everyone looked at Hou Liangping expectantly.

Hou Liangping looked around and then said with a serious expression.

"Chen Hai is my good friend. We've had a great relationship since college."

"After graduating from university, we embarked on our respective careers and contributed to the G family."

"He is an upright person who never shies away from problems."

"I also learned a lot about Handong through him."

"He has devoted himself to the affairs of Handong with great care and effort."

"However, such a good cadre who served the public and the people was treated like this."

"This is something I cannot tolerate. Whether from a public or private perspective, I must get to the bottom of this."

"Comrades, the leaders in the capital are furious when they find out about this. If they dare to touch even a department-level cadre, what won't they dare to do in the future?"

"They're slapping us in the face; this is a show of force against us."

“As members of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, we must not be intimidated by these things. As long as I am in this position, I will investigate to the end.”

"I want to see whether his powerful connections or the iron fist of the law are more powerful."

"I came here this time to expose the dark secrets that have been hanging over the people of Handong Province and restore a bright and clear world for everyone."

When the anti-corruption bureau staff heard Hou Liangping's words, they stood up excitedly and applauded him.

Hou Liangping waved his hand, but the applause continued for a long time.

Hou Liangping left amidst applause.

Inside the office, Hou Liangping, Lu Yike, Lin Huahua, and others sat together.

Hou Liangping looked at the group seriously.

"Now tell me what you found out."

Lin Huahua was the first to stand up.

"Director Hou, I'm in charge of tracking Huang Feipeng. Yesterday, Huang Feipeng left Dafeng Factory and went to Bishui Lantian. A house here costs at least 30 million."
