Official excuse: I was sent to work at the grassroots level for training, and Hou Liangping arrested

Page 49

"There are many police officers in the service hall on the first floor; they can all be seen clearly..."

“My suspicion that he impersonated a public official is entirely reasonable and legal.”

Liu Can changed the subject: "Yunfei, don't worry. Hou Liangping and Chen Hai are still alive and well, and they are currently being held in the city bureau's detention room."

"If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility for my own actions. I won't implicate you."

Lin Yunfei's face showed a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "What kind of talk is that? How can I not care?"

"If I cause trouble for you, my dad will definitely beat me with his belt."

"Let's go, let's take a look at Hou Liangping. This modern-day Lao Ai."

...

Lin Yunfei and Liu Can took the elevator and entered the detention room on the second floor.

Hou Liangping was seen tied to a chair, looking rather disheveled.

Hou Liangping was furious when he saw Lin Yunfei and roared, "Lin Yunfei, you bastard! How dare you arrest me? Do you know who I am?"

Lin Yunfei looked at Hou Liangping and gave a wry smile: "Of course I know who you are. You are Hou Liangping from Handong University. You married into Zhong Xiaoai's family."

"But Hou Liangping, you caused a huge scene at our city's Public Security Bureau. You weren't wearing a uniform, you didn't have any official documents, and you were incredibly arrogant."

"They even dared to impersonate public officials; they have only themselves to blame."

Hou Liangping was stunned when he heard Lin Yunfei's words.

He never expected that Lin Yunfei would dare to distort the truth.

"Lin Yunfei, let me go right now. Otherwise, you'll regret it!" Hou Liangping roared.

Lin Yunfei shook his head, a mocking smile on his face: "Hou Liangping, you're still thinking of threatening me."

"Let me tell you, you are now suspected of impersonating a public official. You caused a disturbance at the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. Our bureau has surveillance cameras."

“Not only are there cameras, but we also have more than a dozen police officers, so we can see everything clearly.”

"Everything we did was reasonable and legal. 0.7"

Hou Liangping was struck dumb by Lin Yunfei's words.

He hadn't expected Lin Yunfei to be so audacious. This was clearly a retaliatory attack against him.

"No, that's impossible. I am Hou Liangping, I am from the Supreme People's Procuratorate." Hou Liangping still refused to accept this fact.

Lin Yunfei looked at Hou Liangping and sighed, "Hou Liangping, you should wake up."

“You were dismissed from the Supreme People’s Procuratorate long ago; you are now just the Chief Procurator of Dongping City, at the deputy division-level administrative rank.”

"You don't use honorifics when addressing superiors. Is that how your father taught you?"

"Oh, I forgot. When you, Hou Liangping, were in the inspection team, you argued with the team leader, Secretary Chu. You were expelled from the inspection team."

"Let me teach you a lesson. This is a place, not your paradise." Lin Yunfei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

"We will contact your family after your psychiatric evaluation report is available."

Upon hearing Lin Yunfei's words, Hou Liangping slumped into his chair.

Liu Can, standing to the side, looked at Hou Liangping's disheveled appearance and revealed a smug smile.

53. Chen Yanshi was furious and filed a formal complaint with the inspection team.

53. Chen Yanshi was furious and filed a formal complaint with the inspection team.

Lin Yunfei wanted to teach Hou Liangping a lesson and planned to detain him for two days for "impersonating a public official".

After all, Hou Liangping is still Zhong Zhengguo's son-in-law.

I shouldn't go too far.

He left the detention cell and went to visit Chen Hai in the next room.

Chen Hai, dressed in civilian clothes, looked extremely weak. He sat on a bench in the detention cell, head bowed, saying nothing.

"Oh, isn't this Chen Hai? Director Chen?"

Lin Yunfei walked in with Liu Can, a mocking look on his face.

Chen Hai abruptly stood up, his face ashen, and demanded, "Lin Yunfei, how dare you use torture to extract a confession! And you illegally imprisoned me!"

It should be noted that Chen Hai was, after all, the former director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and he had some knowledge of the law.

Lin Yunfei remained calm and composed: "Director Chen Hai, please don't label me. My secretary was transferred here from the Imperial City Guard in Beijing."

After saying that, Lin Yunfei pointed at Liu Can.

Chen Hai's expression froze upon hearing "Imperial City Guard." An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Lin Yunfei said calmly, "To put it another way, it's perfectly normal that my secretary doesn't recognize you."

"Secretary Liu, let me introduce you. This is Chen Hai, a key member of the Handong University clique. His teacher is Gao Yuliang, the Deputy Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee."

Lin Yunfei slowly began to speak, turning to the side to introduce himself.

"Oh, so you have powerful connections."

Upon hearing Lin Yunfei's introduction, Liu Can glanced at Chen Hai, nodded, and said, "It's a misunderstanding."

Lin Yunfei continued, "Director Chen Hai, I know you're angry. But you also need to understand our difficulties."

Chen Hai snorted coldly: "Difficulties? Your difficulties are abusing your power and committing crimes?"

Lin Yunfei shook his head: "You can't say that, Director Chen Hai. We were just doing our job."

"Duty? Is your duty to persecute innocent people and suppress justice?" Chen Hai became agitated, his voice rising several decibels.

"Besides, I'm not a member of any Han University gang. Don't try to label me."

Lin Yunfei smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned about Chen Hai's accusations.

"Director Chen Hai, it's undeniable that you were able to become the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau thanks to your teacher's help."

"Otherwise, do you think you can rely on yourself?"

　"Hmph. Stop deceiving yourself."

"Of course, I got to where I am today through my own hard work, step by step."

Chen Hai looked at Lin Yunfei, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Lin Yunfei seemed to see through Chen Hai's thoughts. He patted Chen Hai on the shoulder and said, "Director Chen Hai, you'd better think this through. I hope you can figure out what's most important."

"Is it your future? Or your elderly father?"

"You've been in officialdom for so many years, and you're still so naive." Lin Yunfei turned his head, a look of pity on his face, as if he were showing sympathy.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai was immediately enraged and became agitated: "I'm naive? Explain yourself clearly."

"Chen Hai, what are your abilities? You've worked in the anti-corruption bureau for so many years, how many corrupt officials have you arrested?"

Lin Yunfei spoke slowly and calmly, "To put it bluntly, your sister Chen Yang married and moved to the capital. Why hasn't she come back all these years?"

"Because your sister hates you. She hates this family, and she hates your old father, Chen Yanshi."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai fell silent, speechless.

Lin Yunfei made a startling statement: "According to my investigation, your sister Chen Yang has stayed in the capital for all these years and has never returned to Handong."

"To put it bluntly, it's all because of you, Chen Hai. You inherited all of Chen Yanshi's political resources."

"You've got all the benefits."

"Let's talk about your father, Chen Yanshi."

Lin Yunfei said calmly and confidently, "According to our investigation, before he retired, he served as the Executive Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate."

"Zhao Lichun and his son Zhao Ruilong have been entrenched in Handong for many years."

"Zhao Ruilong's Huilong Group made a lot of money through Zhao Lichun's power," Lin Yunfei summarized simply.

"Why does your father, Chen Yanshi, turn a blind eye?"

"Why is it that your father always focuses on Zhao Lichun, repeating the same old story about turning on the air conditioner over and over again?"

"Are you afraid to bring it up? Or do you want to protect your power and your position as executive deputy chief prosecutor?"

"And then there's Chen Yanshi, whose catchphrase is 'I'm just an ordinary citizen.'"

Lin Yunfei smiled sarcastically and said in a deep voice, "So-called ordinary people can get the third-in-command of the Handong Provincial Party Committee with just one phone call. Heh heh, how ironic."

"Ordinary people can meet with the deputy secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee."

"No, even meeting the director of the Guangming District Public Security Bureau is as difficult as climbing to the sky."

"You, Chen Hai, can easily make a phone call to your old classmate, Qi Tongwei, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province."

“When there’s trouble, go find Qi Tongwei, the top disciple of the Han University Gang. When there’s no trouble, just say you’re not a member of the Han University Gang.”

"You and your father enjoy privileges, yet you claim to be ordinary citizens. Don't you think... it's shameless?"

"You Chen family father and son really have double standards."

Upon hearing these words, Chen Hai felt as if he had been struck by lightning, as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

He wanted to retort, but the words caught in his throat.

Lin Yunfei pointed out incisively: "Chen Hai, if he weren't your teacher, he would be the third-highest-ranking official in the provincial party committee, concurrently serving as the secretary of the provincial political and legal affairs commission."

“You will never reach that position, nor will you ever be promoted to head of the anti-corruption bureau.”

"Within the system, you need to be an ordinary civil servant. Without connections, you can't even talk about being a division chief."

"Getting promoted to section chief is as difficult as climbing to the sky." Lin Yunfei pressed his right index finger on Chen Hai's heart. "To be honest, for ordinary civil servants, the only chance of becoming a section chief is before retirement."

"You should know that before the investigation was suspended, you were the deputy director-level official and the director of the anti-corruption bureau of the provincial procuratorate."

"Alright, Director Chen Hai. You can go home now."

Requesting monthly votes...

Chen Hai, in a daze, drove back to the nursing home.

Chen Yanshi sat in the courtyard of the nursing home and saw Chen Hai looking lost and dejected, and his heart skipped a beat.
