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

This clue is crucial. In the past, Huang Feipeng might have been able to argue that the cruise ship wasn't his, but now, a hundred million yuan couldn't have been borrowed, could it?

Moreover, since he himself has admitted to this, the source of the money is questionable.

There's also the matter of the classified project. Whether Qi Tongwei was behind it all can be investigated further.

It can be said that Huang Feipeng's confession has given the investigation of this case a good start.

Now that Li Dakang has endorsed him, won't Huang Feipeng be in his hands next?

Thinking of this, Hou Liangping smiled.

Pushing open the door, I saw Li Dakang leaning wearily against a chair.

Hou Liangping sighed inwardly, realizing that marrying a good wife was extremely important.

Look at him, isn't it just because he married a good wife that he rose to such heights?

Men, sometimes you need to be careful what you see.

Hou Liangping sighed inwardly, then smiled and said.

"Secretary Dakang, good news, great news! The case has made significant progress."

Upon hearing Hou Liangping's words, Li Dakang's weariness vanished, and he merely gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Comrade Liangping, please sit down, please sit down. Let's talk about it slowly."

Li Dakang was pondering how to change his tone without being too abrupt.

Qi Tongwei's words just now made it very clear that his actions against Ouyang Jing were merely a warning to himself; if the investigation continued, he would also be implicated.

While he was pondering, Hou Liangping was extremely excited.

"Secretary Dakang, our Anti-Corruption Bureau's Director Lu has made significant progress. Huang Feipeng from Dafeng Factory has admitted that he gave him the 100 million yuan."

"Next, as long as we follow the clues, we can find out who's behind him."

"I am now 80-90% certain that the person behind Huang Feipeng is Qi Tongwei."

"Director Lu just told me that Huang Feipeng said he was going to report your wife when he was on the phone with Qi Tongwei..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Dakang was jolted awake. He understood. He understood everything. So it was all your Anti-Corruption Bureau's doing.

Why are you investigating a small business owner for no reason?

This is not within your jurisdiction; you must be bored.

More importantly, you actually came to find me while you were carrying out this operation?

You think I, Li Dakang, am a good scapegoat?

Thinking of this, Li Dakang became inexplicably angry.

When did Li Dakang become the scapegoat?

He used to make others take the blame, but now he's taken the blame himself.

And it even affected the rest of my life. Can you believe this is an undeserved disaster?

Thinking of this, Li Dakang angrily rebuked.

"Hou Liangping, watch your tone. What do you mean by saying that Qi Tongwei is the person behind Huang Feipeng?"

"You'll have to provide evidence to support your claim. Qi Tongwei is a vice-ministerial level official; you can't just doubt him like that."

"And who told you that my wife was reported? That's slander, blatant slander. She just needed to cooperate with the police on some business matters, how could she be reported?"

"Comrade Hou Liangping, it seems you are still young and impulsive. If you continue to do things this way, will all the leaders and cadres in Handong have to be investigated?"

Li Dakang looked at Hou Liangping and said earnestly.

"Comrade Hou Liangping, I know you are eager to make a name for yourself, but the most important thing in our anti-corruption work is to be cautious, and everything must be based on evidence."

"Based on what you just said, you are an incompetent director of the anti-corruption bureau. In my opinion, you are far inferior to Chen Hai."

"You should really study properly."

Hou Liangping was completely bewildered by Li Dakang's reprimand. What was going on? Just a moment ago, Li Dakang was all smiles and support.

Why has everything changed after I answered a phone call?

Hou Liangping sat there in a daze, listening intently to every single word Li Dakang said.

Then, after calming down, he suddenly became furious.

When has Hou Liangping ever been treated like this? Even in the capital, no one dared to say such things to him.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed Li Dakang's endorsement during his trip to Handong, Hou Liangping would have already confronted Li Dakang angrily.

Barely suppressing his inner rage, Hou Liangping glared at Li Dakang.

“Secretary Dakang, what you said is quite interesting. Didn’t I just tell you that all of this was witnessed by our Anti-Corruption Bureau’s Director Lu? How could this be faked?”

“Secretary Dakang, this is all evidence. I know the phone call just now was about your wife’s accident, but doesn’t that prove that everything we’ve done is right?”

"Huang Feipeng can't sit still anymore. We're about to find out the truth. Secretary Dakang, please calm down and don't let personal feelings interfere. Put the big picture first."

Hou Liangping was extremely anxious. This trip to Handong was a must-do; failure was not an option, or everything he had would be for naught.

This was not the outcome Hou Liangping wanted, so he didn't care about anything else when he spoke.

Upon hearing Hou Liangping's words, Li Dakang almost jumped up. What did he mean by not being swayed by personal feelings? I was about to be implicated and forced to resign, and you still want me to stand firm?

I, Li Dakang, am not a stubborn man like you, Hou Liangping.

Li Dakang banged heavily on the table.

"Comrade Hou Liangping, please watch your tone. What do you mean my wife is in trouble? I've already said she was just cooperating with the work. What, you really want something to happen to her?"

"Also, let me remind you now, we are divorced, and nothing she does has anything to do with me now."

"Furthermore, everything you just said was heard by your anti-corruption bureau personnel. What about the recordings and videos? Where are the documents that can be used as evidence?"

"You can't just believe whatever the people in your Anti-Corruption Bureau say. If that's the case, what's the point of the government working? What's the point of society developing? Does everything depend on the people in your Anti-Corruption Bureau?"

Upon hearing this, Hou Liangping's anger flared up. How could this person be so unable to distinguish right from wrong? Victory was just around the corner, and you and I were already turning against each other?

“Secretary Dakang, what I’m saying is true. Whether you believe it or not, it’s real.”

"When I came here, I still had a sliver of hope. But now it seems that Handong is a giant inkwell, and not a single person in it is clean."

"I'm giving you a chance now. Let me continue my investigation, and I will restore justice to Handong."
