In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

In a coffee shop in Jinghai City.

Huang Yao walked in carrying a Chanel handbag.

Lu Yike followed closely behind.

With a clatter, a waiter carrying coffee accidentally spilled it on Huang Yao and Lu Yike.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

The waiter apologized cautiously.

Huang Yao simply shook her head to indicate that it was alright, while Lu Yike said, "It's nothing, waiter. You didn't do it on purpose. But you're lucky that neither I nor this lady are petty. Be careful next time."

The waiter nodded.

"Thank you for your understanding, both of you! I just arrived and am not familiar with the area yet. I'll be more careful next time!"

After saying that, the waiter squatted down and started cleaning up.

Huang Yao frowned upon seeing this.

Her long dress was off-white, and the coffee stains were quite noticeable.

At this moment, Lu Yike spoke up.

"Friend, I have some wet wipes with me. If you don't mind, you can use them to wipe your face. They're more effective than tissues."

Lu Yike smiled and handed over a wet wipe. Huang Yao hesitated for a moment before taking it.

"Thanks!"

"No need to thank me. It's fate that we met. My name is Lu Yike. Shall we get to know each other?"

"My name is Huang Yao!"

The two shook hands and soon started chatting.

Seeing this, Lin Huahua, who had returned backstage, breathed a sigh of relief.

This was my first time playing a waiter, and it really felt strange. My reaction just now wasn't faked at all...

At this moment, Lu Yike and Huang Yao hit it off immediately!

"Huang Yao, you're a local from Jinghai. I've heard that the most powerful company in Jinghai is Qiangsheng Group. I heard the boss is Gao Qiqiang, who is passionate about charity. He must be a kind-hearted entrepreneur."

Huang Yao frowned immediately upon hearing this.

"Sister Lu, some people are only fair in appearance; the philanthropic entrepreneur you admire might actually be a heinous criminal!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yike immediately sensed Huang Yao's deep resentment towards Gao Qiqiang. Wasn't this like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy?

"Oh, I only heard it from others. I'm not a local from Jinghai. Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet."

I, Lu Yike, am the Director of the Supervision Office of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province, a deputy-department-level cadre!

Lu Yike's words were gamble-like; it would be unwise to reveal her identity based solely on Huang Yao's attitude.

But the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish...

"ah?!"

Huang Yao was stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Yike with some disbelief, scrutinizing her carefully for a long time.

"Don't you believe me?"

Lu Yike smiled, then took out her ID and displayed it prominently in front of Huang Yao.

"We are destined to meet. I came to Jinghai this time to conduct a secret investigation to see if there are any wrongful convictions, criminal gangs, or injustices in law enforcement and public security."

Everything is normal now, especially the charitable work of Qiangsheng Group. There are no such kind-hearted bosses in other cities.

The investigation is almost over. I never expected to run into you; it feels like fate. Let's exchange contact information. Call me if you need anything. I can't promise you anything else, but in Handong, as long as you're not breaking the law, I'll protect you!

Lu Yike perfectly portrayed the demeanor of a privileged young master, or rather, it was a natural performance.

"Sister Lu, are you leaving?"

Huang Yao felt a little flustered.

"Yeah, there's not much to investigate in Jinghai. I plan to go to Lincheng for a secret investigation in a while. I heard the mine owners there are incredibly arrogant!"

Huang Yao suddenly looked up and stared intently at Lu Yike.

"Sister Lu, if there really is a criminal gang entrenched in Lincheng, and even high-ranking officials in the Lincheng municipal government are involved, would you dare to investigate?"

"Ha, a high-ranking official? Before I was transferred to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Inspection Office, I was the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province. Let alone a bureau-level cadre, even a deputy provincial-level cadre, if they really violated discipline or the law, I could directly contact our Secretary Chen!"

"Secretary Chen?"

"Yes! Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission!"

Our Secretary Chen has a lot of influence and a strong sense of Party principles. Not to mention the violations of discipline and law by deputy provincial-level officials, even those of higher-ranking officials can be reported to the capital by Secretary Chen!

My confidence comes from Secretary Chen!

By this point, the coffee was almost gone.

"Alright, it's getting late, I have to go back to Jingzhou. Just give me a call if you need anything."

After saying that, Lu Yike got up and made to leave.

Despite appearing calm, Lu Yike's heart was in her throat, and her palms were sweating. If she failed, it would be tantamount to prematurely leaking the investigation team's information.

Huang Yao finally made up her mind.

"Sister Lu! Wait a minute!"

In an instant, Lu Yike felt immense joy!

It may not be visible on the surface.

"Is there anything else, Huang Yao?"

Huang Yao glanced around; there were only the two of them in the entire coffee shop at the moment.

"Sister Lu, I'm the accountant for Qiangsheng Group, and also the adopted daughter of Chairman Gao Qiqiang. You've been fooled by Qiangsheng Group's facade; they're just a criminal organization!"

Once the breach is opened, the truth will naturally be revealed.

After Huang Yao finished speaking, Lu Yike patted her on the back.

"It's alright. You mean Gao Qiqiang's main backers are Zhao Lidong, the mayor of Jinghai City? And Meng Dehai, the director of the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau?"

"Not only that, Gao Qiqiang also built a high-end nursing home for the elderly to use free of charge, but his ultimate goal was actually to gain Huang Lao's trust."

"Master Huang?"

"Yes, the former Minister of Organization of Handong Province!"

Lu Yike nodded.

"Huang Yao, if what you've said is true, then rest assured, no matter who it is, I, Lu Yi, guarantee you that anyone who violates regulations, breaks the law, or commits a crime will be brought to justice!"

"Sister Lu, I have evidence, including recordings and account information related to Qiangsheng Group's bribery of Zhao Lidong and others."

"Great! This would be even better!"

Gao Qiqiang, at home, could never have imagined that his caution and prudence would be completely futile.

Around 2 PM, Lu Yike obtained Huang Yao's evidence and information about the account.

The investigation team began intensive verification.

Huang Yao, on the other hand, went back to work at the company as if nothing had happened.

By evening, the investigation team had essentially confirmed the evidence of bribery against Zhao Lidong and other officials in Jinghai City, and at the same time, there was a breakthrough in the evidence of crimes committed by the Qiangsheng Group as revealed in the recording.

9:50 p.m.

The Provincial Party Committee compound in Handong.

Chen Luo and his wife Zhang Nian had just put their two children to sleep and were about to do something intimate when the phone rang.

"Ahem, honey, wait a minute..."

Seeing his wife's resentful look, Chen Luo quickly answered the phone.

"Hey, Comrade Lu Yike."

"Secretary Chen, the investigation into the Qiangsheng Group in Jinghai City has yielded results..."

After listening to Lu Yike's brief report, Chen Luo gave the final instructions: "Okay, I understand. Your investigation team should continue to dig deeper into the evidence of Qiangsheng Group's illegal activities."

I will report this to the provincial party committee tomorrow. No matter who is involved, we will investigate thoroughly!

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo smiled broadly.

Yes, double happiness! Looking at his wife, he mounted his horse and slept on!
