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

Page 94

Hou Liangping took a deep breath and decisively knocked on the door.

The door was opened from the inside. Zhao Landai frowned slightly, looking at the suddenly appearing "monkey": "You're not... Zhong Xiaoai's lapdog."

Hou Liangping presented his anti-corruption bureau credentials and solemnly announced: "Zhao Lan, you are hereby arrested in accordance with the law on suspicion of embezzlement and bribery."

Zhao Lan's face was ashen, and she sneered, "Hou Liangping, you dare to arrest me? Do you know who I am?"

Keep in mind, it was still broad daylight. Lin Yunfei took a car early to go to work at the Jingzhou Municipal Government.

Hou Liangping said earnestly, "Zhao Lan, everyone is equal before the law. I am Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. You have accepted a huge amount of bribes."

Zhao Lan snorted coldly: "Equality? Your so-called equality is nothing but a game of power."

Hou Liangping, with a determined look on his face, took out handcuffs and tried to put them on Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan suddenly struggled, raised her hand, and slapped Hou Liangping across the face. Then she quickly ran into the room. Hou Liangping was stunned for a moment, his cheek burning, but his eyes became even more determined.

At this moment, Zhao Lan rushed into the bedroom, quickly locked the door, and picked up her phone to dial Zhao Mengsheng's number.

"Dad! Hou Liangping, the son-in-law of the Zhong family, is here to arrest me." Zhao Lan's words were astonishing.

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Mengsheng was filled with rage. His voice was low and menacing: "Don't panic, Lanlan. I will make the Zhong family pay the price."

At this moment, Hou Liangping, with Lu Yike in tow, ran up to the second floor of the villa, pounded on the bedroom door, and shouted, "Zhao Lan, give up resistance and accept the punishment of the law!"

Zhao Lan responded with a cold laugh from inside: "Hou Liangping, do you really think you can bring me down?"

Hou Liangping's eyes were resolute as he signaled to Lu Yike to prepare to break down the door.

Zhao Mengsheng heard clearly over the phone, "Lanlan, don't worry. I'll contact Sha Ruijin and Zhao Anbang right away."

boom! boom! !

Hou Liangping kicked the door himself, seven or eight times. The door was finally kicked open, and Hou Liangping rushed into the bedroom. Zhao Lan was holding a phone, her eyes sharp.

"Zhao Lan, you're under arrest."

Zhao Lan decisively hung up the phone and gave a cold laugh: "Hou Liangping, do you think you can win like this? Let me tell you, you'll regret it."

And so, Hou Liangping arrested Zhao Lan and escorted her to the procuratorate's police car.

. . . . . .

The office building of the Hantong Provincial Committee.

Zhao Mengsheng called, his voice icy: "Sha Ruijin. Did you order Hou Liangping to arrest my daughter, Zhao Lan?"

What? Hou Liangping, you've committed a terrible crime!

Sha Ruijin frowned, his mind blank, and he gasped, "Secretary Zhao, I... I really know nothing about this."

Zhao Mengsheng snorted coldly, his face ashen: "Sha Ruijin, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation. What law has my daughter broken?"

"Are you planning to arrest me?"

Sha Ruijin took a deep breath and said firmly, "Secretary Zhao, please don't misunderstand. I'll call Hou Liangping right away and have him release the person."

Zhao Mengsheng: "I just called Zhao Anbang about this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Mengsheng hung up the phone.

Sha Ruijin, his face ashen, gripped the phone and quickly dialed Hou Liangping's number: "Hou Liangping, release her immediately! Release Zhao Lan, that's an order!"

Hou Liangping frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then firmly replied: "Secretary Sha, Zhao Lan is suspected of committing serious crimes and must be dealt with according to the law."

“Secretary Sha, I have solid evidence. Give me some time and I will be able to take down Zhao Lan.”

Sha Ruijin took a deep breath, his expression ashen: "Hou Liangping, I'll give you one hour. After one hour, you must release him."

Hou Liangping's eyes were firm and resolute: "Secretary Sha, an hour is enough. I will let the facts speak for themselves."

Just as I hung up the phone, the red secure landline on the table rang.

"Sha Ruijin, this is Zhao Anbang. I would like to ask you for an explanation." Zhao Anbang called directly.

. . . . . .

Sha Ruijin's heart sank; he knew this matter was getting complicated. He tried to remain calm and slowly said, "Comrade Anbang, I'm currently investigating the matter of Hou Liangping arresting Zhao Lan. I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Zhao Anbang's voice carried an undeniable authority: "Sha Ruijin, I hope you understand that this matter concerns the stability of Handong Province. Zhao Lan cannot be harmed; you must release her immediately."

Sha Rui's forehead was slightly sweaty. He was well aware of Zhao Anbang's influence in Handong Province. Although Zhao was parachuted in, he inherited Governor Liu's political legacy and had also joined forces with Gao Yuliang of the Handong University clique.

“Governor Zhao, I understand what you mean. As the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Hou Liangping has the duty and obligation to handle cases according to the law. If Zhao Lan is indeed innocent, we will naturally clear her name. But now, I think... we should follow the legal procedures.”

Zhao Anbang snorted coldly, then flew into a rage: "Sha Ruijin, are you using the law as a shield? Let me tell you, Zhao Lan cannot be harmed. You'd better think carefully about your position."

Sha Ruijin took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone steady: "Comrade Anbang, please believe me. I will handle this matter impartially, and I will neither let any bad person go unpunished nor wrong any good person."

Zhao Anbang remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. He slowly spoke, "Alright, Sha Ruijin. I'll give you this chance. But remember, Zhao Lan cannot be harmed. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

Sha Ruijin breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had temporarily passed the test.

But he also knew that this was only a temporary calm, and the real storm was yet to come. He had to find a solution as soon as possible that would both uphold the dignity of the law and quell the Zhao family's anger.

. . . . . .

Jingzhou Municipal Government Building.

A phone call came in from Beijing.

..... . 0

Zhao Mengsheng's voice was deep and powerful: "Yunfei. Hou Liangping has captured Lanlan."

Lin Yunfei's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up: "What? Hou Liangping is simply lawless. Dad, don't worry. I'll take people to the Handong Provincial Procuratorate right away."

"I will make Hou Liangping pay the price."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yunfei dialed the number of the First Division of the State Security Bureau, his tone urgent: "Immediately mobilize personnel to come with me to the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. Rescue Secretary Zhao."

"Secretary Zhao has been arrested by the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province."

Li Zheng was shocked. "What? Secretary Zhao has been arrested?" He quickly realized the seriousness of the situation. "Okay, I'll arrange for people to go to the Handong Provincial Procuratorate immediately."

Lin Yunfei hung up the phone and walked out of the office with a gloomy expression.

He knew Zhao Mengsheng's status and influence in the capital. Zhao Lan's arrest was undoubtedly a provocation against the Zhao family, and this storm would be difficult to quell.

He quickly gathered his men and drove to the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

Along the way, he pondered how to deal with this crisis, how to rescue Zhao Lan, and how to teach Hou Liangping a lesson.

Upon arriving at the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, Lin Yunfei and his men stormed into the building. They went straight to Hou Liangping's office.

However, Hou Liangping had anticipated this move and had already arranged for people to wait outside the office. When Lin Yunfei and his group rushed into the office, they were stopped by the prosecutors who were prepared.

"Lin Yunfei, what do you want to do?" Hou Liangping looked at Lin Yunfei with a firm expression and without fear.

Lin Yunfei glared at him angrily: "Hou Liangping, how dare you arrest Zhao Lan? Do you know the enormity of the trouble you've caused?"

Hou Liangping sneered: "Lin Yunfei, I'm handling this case according to the law. Zhao Lan is suspected of embezzlement and bribery, and the evidence is conclusive. Do you think you can take her away?"

Lin Yunfei gritted his teeth: "Hou Liangping, don't be so smug. The Zhao family won't let you get away with this."

Hou Liangping remained calm: "I don't care. I only know that everyone is equal before the law. Zhao Lan broke the law, so she must accept the punishment of the law."

The tension was palpable, with both sides on the verge of conflict. Just then, Sha Ruijin called.

97. Hou Liangping was arrested, and Zhong Xiaoai wanted to save him.

97. Hou Liangping was arrested, and Zhong Xiaoai wanted to save him.

Just then, Sha Ruijin called.

Sha Ruijin asked with a serious expression, "Hou Liangping, has Zhao Lan confessed?"

Hou Liangping's expression changed slightly, and he shielded his phone with his left hand. He deliberately lowered his voice: "Not yet, Secretary Sha. Give me some time, twenty minutes. I'm sure I can."

"Twenty minutes is too long, ten minutes at most. Zhao Lan's statement is crucial, we must get it done as soon as possible." Sha Ruijin's tone was firm and left no room for argument.

Lin Yunfei's mind raced as he considered how to find a breakthrough in this tight timeframe.

"Comrades, Hou Liangping is stealing state secrets and endangering national security."

"I order you to arrest Hou Liangping immediately." Lin Yunfei frowned, quickly scanned his surroundings, and waved his hand.

Li Zheng was very decisive; he was desperate to improve. He pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at the ceiling.

boom!

Sha Ruijin was startled on the other end of the phone. His heart was in his throat.

"What happened?!" Sha Ruijin asked anxiously.

Li Zheng said coldly, "Hou Liangping, you are suspected of stealing state secrets and have been formally arrested by our National Security Bureau. You have nowhere to escape."

Hou Liangping took a deep breath, his eyes resolute: "I am innocent, and Secretary Sha can vouch for me."

Lin Yunfei stared intently at Hou Liangping and replied coldly, "The evidence is conclusive, there's no room for argument. Arrest Hou Liangping! He's a traitor!"

The moment the words "510" were spoken, the state security agents in the first unit drew their pistols and pointed them at the prosecutor in front of them.

"Back off! Back off immediately!"

The young prosecutors blocking the doorway were immediately startled, their faces filled with terror.

They had never seen anything like this before, and for a moment they stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Hou Liangping remained calm, knowing he couldn't panic at this moment.

He slowly raised his hands, indicating that he had no intention of resisting, and at the same time gestured with his eyes for the young prosecutors around him to step back.

"Don't panic, everyone. I'm innocent. I believe the organization will give me justice." Hou Liangping's voice was firm and powerful as he tried to calm everyone down.

Lin Yunfei frowned slightly upon seeing this. He hadn't expected Hou Liangping to remain so calm under such circumstances, which raised his opinion of Hou Liangping even higher.

He could not hesitate; he had to act swiftly to ensure that Hou Liangping could not escape.

Only in this way can we take the initiative.

"Move out!" Lin Yunfei gave the order, and the national security agents acted swiftly.

They quickly and professionally subdued Hou Liangping, put gloves and a black hood over his head, and prepared to take him away.
