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

Huang Feipeng smiled and shook his head when he heard Lu Yike's words.

"Director Lu, I don't agree with what you're saying."

"You should know that you're causing me a lot of trouble right now. Do you know that we business people value our reputation the most?"

"You, an anti-corruption official, have been repeatedly blocking our neighborhood. What will people think of me if they find out?"

"You know, none of the people living here are simple. If they see that someone has a bad reputation, they won't do business with me anymore. Will you be responsible for the losses then?"

Lu Yike's chest heaved with anger, her eyes seemingly spitting fire.

"Okay, I'm the one who delayed your business. If this is my fault, I'll put up notices all over this place saying it's my fault, Lu Yike's fault, to clear up everyone's misunderstanding, okay?"

Huang Feipeng nodded in satisfaction, and was about to say something when he saw Lu Yike across from him pick up her phone and speak loudly.

"Director Hou, now you've heard that, are we going to arrest this person or not?"

Lu Yike waited expectantly for any response from the other end of the phone.

Huang Feipeng watched Lu Yike's movements with anticipation.

Hou Liangping must have gotten his comeuppance from Li Dakang.

Huang Feipeng had a clear understanding of Li Dakang.

This man valued his career very much, so Ouyang Jing's arrest can be said to have struck at Li Dakang's Achilles' heel.

This made him afraid to act rashly again.

How would Hou Liangping react upon receiving this news?

Huang Feipeng was secretly looking forward to it, wondering how Hou Liangping would explain things to Lu Yike later.

Without Li Dakang's support, Hou Liangping is now acting with extreme caution and timidity.

Would he still dare to take Huang Feipeng in for questioning without any evidence?

That is impossible.

Without any evidence, what right did he have to do this? Besides, Huang Feipeng is not a member of the system and is not under the investigation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Hou Liangping was in a dilemma. Today was his first day in office, and with his eloquence, he had finally won over a group of people.

At the same time, the things he said at the anti-corruption bureau were all aimed at getting everyone to obey him better.

But now it seems that this is impossible.

After all, he had already made those boastful remarks while he was with the anti-corruption bureau.

Now you want to take back those words? Isn't that a slap in your own face?

One can imagine that after this incident, Hou Liangping's prestige among the anti-corruption bureau staff would plummet, making his subsequent work much more difficult.

You should know that he wasn't from the Handong Anti-Corruption Bureau; he was sent down from the capital. People didn't respect him, so naturally they wouldn't listen to his orders.

Hou Liangping covered his head and pondered for a while. Listening to the conversation on the other end, he shook his head helplessly.

Huang Feipeng is still so arrogant. Just wait, I will definitely bring you to justice.

The issue between Hou Liangping and Huang Feipeng has gone beyond simple official business.

Since he lost face in front of Huang Feipeng twice, everything about him has changed dramatically.

If he can turn the tide this time, he will have a chance to go back to the past.

But the current situation doesn't allow it.

Hou Liangping also wanted to arrest Huang Feipeng, but he hesitated when he thought about what Li Dakang had just said.

If they were to arrest them and take them back like this, it would be a slap in the face to Li Dakang. Not to mention anyone else, even Li Dakang himself would not be able to get past that hurdle.

Therefore, the probability of Hou Liangping ordering his own arrest is almost zero.

But so what if we get caught and taken back?

Huang Feipeng has lived an honest and clean life, so why would he be afraid of being investigated?

However, Hou Liangping probably can't afford the cost of investigating him.

The military's order was due for delivery soon, and it would be a disaster if Hou Liangping delayed it.

He'll just have to wait and see what the big shots do.

These people had been eager to teach the American warships a lesson, but Hou Liangping had repeatedly interfered with them.

Do you think they will let Hou Liangping go?

Therefore, Huang Feipeng is now truly confident, staying here to watch the show and see Hou Liangping's reaction.

Hou Liangping, who was on the other end of the phone, turned red with anger upon hearing the commotion.

However, Hou Liangping calmed down when he thought of Zhong Xiaoai's warning when he came to Handong.

The situation was unfavorable to him at this time. No one in Handong was backing him up, and Huang Feipeng seemed to have something behind him.

If he were to provoke the wrong people again, would Hou Liangping even be able to survive?

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to win Li Dakang's support.

With his support, everything will be fine.

The change in Li Dakang's attitude was clearly due to that phone call.

It's likely that Ouyang Jing committed a crime, giving Li Dakang a weakness that led to his change of attitude.

Now that Li Dakang's attitude has changed, Ouyang Jing will probably be released soon.

As long as Ouyang Jing is released, Li Dakang will definitely support him.

Therefore, at this time, it's better to remain still than to take any action.

Thinking of this, Hou Liangping remained silent for a while before speaking softly.

"Director Lu, you took Huang Feipeng away? On what grounds did you take him away?"

"Suspected of embezzlement and bribery? Where's the evidence?"

"Director Lu, as members of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the most important thing for us is to rely on evidence. Otherwise, how can we get anything done in the future?"

"Director Lu, please come back first. This case doesn't only have Huang Feipeng as an option. As long as Chen Qingquan confesses, the case can continue, right?"

"Come back, don't waste time there."

Lu Yike was stunned when she heard this. You were the one who wanted to arrest people in the first place, and now you're the one telling her to leave. Have you lost your mind?

Lu Yike strongly suspected that the person opposite her was not Hou Liangping.

However, the label on the phone clearly identifies Hou Liangping, so it's impossible for it to be wrong.

Thinking of this, Lu Yike was furious.

"Director Hou, so you mean I should go and explain the misunderstanding to everyone in the entire community now?"

Hou Liangping was naturally willing to accept this, since it wasn't him apologizing, and it wasn't him who would lose face.

I'll do anything as long as Huang Feipeng is caught in the end.

Thinking of this, Hou Liangping said calmly.

"Director Lu, speaking of this, I have to criticize you a bit. As civil servants of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, our words and actions represent the Party and the organization. You can't let your small mistakes implicate the unit."

"Fine, since you've already said it, if we don't do it, it will make our anti-corruption bureau look like we're not keeping our word."

"Go and explain it to them. After all, you caused this whole mess, so it's no big deal for you to clean it up."

"I know you feel wronged, but are there any of us in the workforce who don't feel wronged?"

"We need to prioritize the bigger picture now. Do you really want the reputation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau to be tarnished because of you?"
