I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

Tao Dejin narrowed his eyes: "If we analyze it this way, then the cash check that Fang Shih-hu sent out is very likely intended to get Xia Ming to help his daughter."

"However, this is just our speculation at the moment, and it may not be true. Let's report this situation to Secretary Peng first."

"Row!"

A short while later, Peng Weizhong frowned deeply after hearing the information that Yang Wen had compiled!

"Secretary Peng, should we summon Xia Ming directly for questioning and search his home at the same time, or...?" Tao Dejin asked.

Peng Weizhong tapped the table lightly, and after a while he took a breath and said, "Now we have a problem: if we search Xia Ming's house and find nothing, it would be like alerting him!"

"As for the cash check provided by Old Man Qin, its use as evidence is rather controversial!"

The main problem is the lack of third-party witnesses.

What if the lawyer says that your old man Qin stuffed that cash check into your account to frame you?

As for your inquiry to Fang Shih-hu, what if he says he accidentally lost the cash check?

to be honest.

This evidence alone is not enough to completely destroy Xia Ming for the time being!

"What if they secretly search his house?"

“Xia Ming lives with his family, so there should be someone at home at all times. A secret search might not be feasible,” Yang Wen added.

"No rush, there's no need for us to take the risk! We can wait and stall for time." Peng Weizhong waved his hand, deciding to play the long game just to be on the safe side!

"Isn't the provincial civil service exam next month?" "Assuming Xia Ming really did something like this, he'll definitely slip up then!" "Even if he didn't do anything like this, if we take our time and keep an eye on him 24/7, we might be able to find some clues and evidence against him."

Peng Weizhong ultimately made the final decision.

"it is good!"

Tao Dejin and Yang Wen naturally had no objections!

……

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The results of the provincial civil service exam were released a few days ago.

Xia Ming was drinking tea in his office when he suddenly received a call from an old classmate from junior high school.

"Old classmate, it's me, Wang Yishu!" A warm, honest voice came from the phone.

"Oh, it's Old Wang!" Xia Ming smiled faintly.

Wang Yishu was a classmate he had a good relationship with in junior high school, and he is currently a teacher in the town below.

"Are you free tomorrow night? I'd like to invite you to dinner," Wang Yishu asked with a hint of trepidation.

He knew that his classmate was a very busy person.

"Tomorrow night?" Xia Ming thought for a moment, then added, "Tomorrow is Saturday, I should be free!"

"Okay, then I'll come to the city to find you tomorrow."

……

evening.

Before leaving get off work.

Yang Wen came to the technical team.

"Old Zhao, have you found any useful clues today?" Yang Wen asked the head of the technical team.

"We didn't intercept any suspicious communications, but we recorded all of his communications today. Take them back and study them," Old Zhao said, pointing to some information recorded on the table.

"Row!"

After returning home, Yang Wen started working overtime.

He's been working overtime lately.

no way.

He was in charge of keeping an eye on this area.

Yang Wen quickly browsed through Xia Ming's communications for the day.

The vast majority of them were work-related calls.

"Ok?"

Yang Wen soon noticed a rather unfamiliar number calling.

After all, most of Xia Ming's daily phone calls are work-related, and Yang Wen has been keeping an eye on him these past few days, so he recognizes most of the calls.

"Hello, is this Captain Jiang? Yes, it's me. Could you check this number for me? Yes, okay."

Soon.

Yang Wen found the information.

Wang Yishu?

Should I invite Xia Ming to dinner tomorrow night?

Now that Xia Ming is under full surveillance, any unfamiliar phone calls or any potentially suspicious activity must be thoroughly investigated.

Out of habit, Yang Wen naturally planned to investigate this Wang Yishu as well!

In the past month or so, they have secretly investigated the information of countless people in similar situations.

Investigate anyone who has any connection with Xia Ming.

The next morning.

"Ok?"

Yang Wen looked at the investigation information in his hand.

Wang Yishu's nephew also took the provincial exam, and his written test results came out a few days ago.

Third place in the written exam!

"Looks like I'll have to keep a close eye on things tonight!" Yang Wen squinted.

……

night.

Inside a private room at a restaurant.

"Old classmate, let me introduce you. This is my nephew, Wang Linjiang."

"Nephew, this is my junior high school classmate, Director Xia," Wang Yishu introduced the two to each other.

"Hello, Director Xia." Wang Linjiang greeted him with a bow and a slight nod.

Xia Ming smiled and nodded slightly.

He looked at the two bottles of Wuliangye on the dining table and suddenly understood.

After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.

"What kind of work does your nephew do now?" Xia Ming asked with a smile.

"Hey, he just graduated three years ago and is currently unemployed. For the past three years, he's been taking the civil service exam. He only has a junior college diploma, which is much harder than those from third-tier, second-tier, and first-tier universities! He finally managed to get third place in the provincial civil service exam a few days ago, but he's probably going to fail again this time," Wang Yishu said with a worried look.

"Yes, exams are like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. It's not bad that Xiao Wang can get third place with a junior college diploma. Keep up the good work, if not this year, try next year! You'll get through it eventually," Xia Ming encouraged him with a smile.

"Yes, that's the only way."

"Nephew, we're out of cigarettes. Go out and buy a pack." Wang Yishu winked at his nephew.

"Ok."

After his nephew left, Wang Yishu looked at Xia Ming expectantly: "Old classmate, look, my nephew finally got third place this time. Although he was behind the first and second place in the written test, there's still the interview stage. What if he scores high in the interview? Maybe he'll still have a chance." "Old classmate, do you have any good suggestions? Or, can you help me out?" Wang Yishu looked like he had a long face.

"Old Wang, what you're saying is true. I do have some suggestions, but please don't bring up anything else. You're trying to make me make a mistake!" Xia Ming said with a serious expression.

Wang Yishu was a seasoned veteran; how could he not see through his old classmate's unspoken meaning?

"So, old classmate, what suggestions do you have?"

"Interviews, interviews, interviews can be trained! There are plenty of interview training institutions out there!"

"Your nephew should go for some training. Maybe it will help him improve in the interview. After all, interviews are all about being bold, organized, quick-witted, and having the right approach. People who have been trained in these areas will definitely make a difference in the interview," Xia Ming said earnestly.

"I see."

"Let me recommend a reputable training institution to you," Xia Ming said with a faint smile.
