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

"It's Changwu City, and the executive vice mayor is Han Ya."

Liu Can spoke slowly, his expression extremely serious.

Lin Yunfei was taken aback: "Han Ya? Bring her over here."

Liu Can accepted the order and left. A short while later, he led Han Ya into the armored vehicle. Han Ya looked haggard, her eyes filled with exhaustion and fear. As soon as she entered, she lowered her head, not daring to look Lin Yunfei in the eye.

Lin Yunfei stared sharply at Han Ya and said coldly, "Han Ya, what do you intend to confess by turning yourself in?"

Han Ya trembled slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "Secretary Lin, I... I know that the Zhao family has a lot of illegal and disorderly things going on behind the scenes, and I have also provided them with some conveniences. I am willing to tell them everything I know."

Lin Yunfei narrowed his eyes slightly: "What conveniences have you provided? Also, do you know who the biggest protector behind the Zhao family is?"

Han Ya took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly: "I... I helped the Zhao family get some approvals for certain projects and also helped them cover up some minor issues. As for their biggest protector, I... I heard it's a high-ranking provincial leader, but I'm not sure who it is."

Lin Yunfei frowned: "Not sure? Han Ya, you've turned yourself in, so you must tell the truth and not hide anything."

Han Ya was so anxious that tears were about to come out: "Secretary Lin, I really only know this much. That leader is very mysterious, and he usually contacts Zhao Xiaosheng very discreetly. I really don't have any more information."

After a moment's thought, Lin Yunfei said, "Alright, then write down everything you know about the Zhao family's illegal activities, in detail."

198. Inform Hou Liangping to use him as a tool.

198. Inform Hou Liangping to use him as a tool.

Lin Yunfei looked at Han Ya, the executive vice mayor of Changwu City, with a serious expression and eyes as sharp as knives.

boom!

"Vice Mayor Han, according to our National Security Bureau's investigation, you once bore a son for the notorious drug lord Zhao Xiaosheng."

"Then, you heartlessly abandoned her, dumping her in Australia." Lin Yunfei slammed his right hand on the table, angrily rebuking, "Han Ya, your behavior is not only morally depraved, but also a blatant provocation against the laws of the country!"

Han Ya was pale and his hands trembled as he tried to explain, "Secretary Lin, I... I was young and ignorant back then. I couldn't resist the temptation."

"I have let down the organization, I have let down the Party, and I have let down the people."

At this moment, Secretary Liu Can entered the interrogation room, carrying a stack of documents. Liu Can handed the documents to Lin Yunfei and said in a deep voice, "This is Zhao Xiaosheng's confession and the DNA test results."

"According to the test results, Zhao Xiaosheng and Chang Zheng's DNA matched 98.9% genetically. They are confirmed to be the father."

"Secretary Lin, and this is Zhao Pengchao, the fourth son of the Zhao family. In recent years, Zhao Pengchao has been running a law firm in Australia. The cases he receives are all from the Australian Mafia and the Yamaguchi-gumi."

Lin Yunfei's gaze was piercing as he coldly said, "Han Ya, the evidence is irrefutable. What else do you have to say?"

Han Ya's lips trembled, her eyes filled with despair, and she whispered, "I...I have nothing to say."

Lin Yunfei snorted coldly and turned to Liu Can: "Secretary Liu, immediately notify the procuratorate to arrest Han Ya in accordance with the law."

Liu Can hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Secretary Lin, which level of procuratorate should we notify? The Jingzhou Municipal Procuratorate? Or the Handong Provincial Procuratorate?"

Lin Yunfei hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke, saying in a deep voice, "Notify the Handong Provincial Procuratorate... Wait a minute, notify Deputy Procurator-General Hou Liangping."

He suddenly had an idea: to bring this monkey in and take advantage of his eagerness to make a name for himself.

In that case, even if Zhao Lichun wanted revenge, he wouldn't target him.

Liu Can nodded, then quickly turned and left. He took out his phone from his suit pocket and dialed Hou Liangping's number, briefly conveying Lin Yunfei's instructions.

“Ignorance in youth is no excuse! As someone in a high position, you should know and abide by the law. Zhao Pengchao has been running a law firm in Australia for years. He associates with various gangs and helps them handle murders, drug trafficking, and smuggling cases.”

. . . . . .

Office of the Deputy Chief Prosecutor, Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

Hou Liangping looked puzzled, holding his phone. Liu Can's voice came through the phone.

"Deputy Chief Prosecutor Hou, this is Liu Can. Secretary Lin is currently in Changwu City, dismantling a major arms smuggling and drug trafficking ring."

"The protector is an executive vice mayor named Han Ya."

"Hana has now turned himself in."

"The evidence is ample and the facts are clear. Secretary Lin instructed me to inform you that your Handong Provincial Procuratorate will take over the case."

Hou Liangping's eyes sharpened, and he quickly stood up, pacing back and forth in his office, his mind racing as he considered the complexity and importance of the case.

Hou Liangping knew that this was not just an ordinary drug trafficking and smuggling case; the forces involved behind it were complex and intertwined, and a slight misstep could plunge him into a huge vortex.

But at the same time, this was also an excellent opportunity to make a name for himself, which was very tempting for him who was eager to advance further.

"Secretary Liu, please tell Secretary Lin that our Handong Provincial Procuratorate will do everything in its power to handle this case perfectly and not let any criminals get away with it," Hou Liangping said firmly into his phone, his tone revealing an unwavering determination.

After hanging up the phone, Hou Liangping immediately convened an emergency meeting in the conference room with key personnel from the procuratorate.

With a serious expression, he conveyed the information he had just received to everyone in detail.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this case is no small matter. The forces involved behind it are deeply entrenched. Han Ya, as the executive vice mayor, has such a deep connection with drug lord Zhao Xiaosheng, and even has a son with him."

"And Zhao Pengchao, the fourth son of the Zhao family, has committed even more heinous acts in Australia, colluding with international gangs such as the Mafia and the Yamaguchi-gumi to carry out illegal and criminal activities such as murder, drug trafficking, and smuggling. We bear a heavy responsibility in taking on this case, but it is also a time for us to demonstrate the strength and determination of the procuratorate." Hou Liangping said, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

"Prosecutor Hou, what should we do next?" a young prosecutor asked first.

Lu Yike, expressionless and dressed in a prosecutor's uniform, sat in the first row on the left, looking at Hou Liangping with a strange expression.

She couldn't help but think to herself, "That Hou Liangping." Ever since he received a major demerit...

Lin Yunfei stopped investigating.

It's obvious they're backing down, afraid of offending anyone.

Hou Liangping pondered for a moment and said, "First, we need to set up a special task force, with myself as the team leader. Lu Yike, the director of the First Division, will serve as the deputy team leader."

"Immediately head to Changwu City to connect with Secretary Lin and learn more details. At the same time, arrange for personnel to comprehensively review and analyze the relevant information on Han Ya, Zhao Xiaosheng, and Zhao Pengchao to find their chain of criminal evidence."

"In addition, we must not let our guard down regarding other individuals who may be involved in the protection network, and we must conduct thorough investigations and take preventative measures."

"Yes, Prosecutor Hou!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices firm and strong.

After the meeting, Hou Liangping immediately went to Zhong Zhengqian, the chief prosecutor of Handong Province, to report the situation.

"Uncle, I've looked into this case. It's definitely a major case."

"The Zhao family of Changwu definitely has a protector."

"I want to apply for the establishment of a special task force and obtain an arrest warrant."

Zhong Zhengqian frowned slightly, put down the documents in his hand, and looked at Hou Liangping with deep eyes: "Liangping, you should be aware of the complexity of this case. The Zhao family of Changwu has been entrenched for many years, and their network of relationships is intricate. Once we take action, it will have far-reaching consequences."

Hou Liangping, his expression resolute, stepped forward and said, “Uncle, I understand. But that’s precisely why we can’t back down. Now the evidence is conclusive, and Han Ya has surrendered. This is a good opportunity for us to turn the tide. Moreover, Secretary Lin is also pushing for it, and we can’t miss this chance.”

Zhong Zhengqian was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up and paced around the office: "You just said you wanted to set up a special task force. What are your thoughts on the personnel arrangements?"

Hou Liangping quickly said, "I have drafted a preliminary list, with Lu Yike, the director of the first division, as the core backbone, and then select several experienced prosecutors with strong case-handling abilities to join."

"For example, there's Prosecutor Zheng Yaping, the director of a department."

“They all have experience in handling major cases, and I believe they are capable of handling the job.”

Zhong Zhengqian returned to his seat, tapping his fingers lightly on the table: "I will coordinate the arrest warrant as soon as possible. But you must remember that you must act in accordance with the law and regulations during the investigation, and there must be no irregularities. We don't fully understand the situation in Changwu yet, so be careful when you get there."

A hint of excitement flashed in Hou Liangping's eyes: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely follow the legal procedures strictly. This time, we must make this case airtight and ensure that those criminals receive the punishment they deserve."

Zhong Zhengqian nodded: "Alright, go back and prepare. I've agreed to the task force's plan. I'll give you an answer regarding the arrest warrant before the end of the day. Once you're in Changwu, report to me immediately if anything happens."

Hou Liangping saluted: "Yes, Uncle. I'll go back and prepare now."

After saying this, Hou Liangping turned and left the chief prosecutor's office, his heart filled with anticipation and determination for the case.

That afternoon, at 4:40 PM.

A Toyota Coaster was parked at the entrance of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

Hou Liangping led the task force members, quickly packed up the relevant materials and equipment, and embarked on their journey to Changwu City.

Inside the Toyota Coaster, Hou Liangping felt both nervous and excited. He knew that a thrilling contest was about to begin.

199. Lin Yunfei: When working, you should address people by their job titles.

199. Lin Yunfei: When working, you should address people by their job titles.

Three hours later, Hou Liangping met Lin Yunfei at a county-level public security bureau on the outskirts of Changwu City.

"Comrade Yunfei, I've arrived. Hand over the executive vice mayor Han Ya, who has surrendered, to me."

boom!

Lin Yunfei slammed his hand on the table in obvious displeasure and said coldly, "Hou Liangping, is this an order or a request?"

"Besides, didn't your teacher, Mr. Gao, teach you that?"

"When you're working, you should use your job title!" Lin Yunfei said, raising his voice by eight decibels.

Damn it, this is really annoying. Hou Liangping clearly climbed to this position by relying on Zhong Xiaoai and getting hit by the bell, yet he's putting on airs here.

What right do you have to point fingers at me?

Hou Liangping frowned slightly, but remained calm: "Director Lin, you had your secretary call me."

boom!

Lin Yunfei's face darkened, and he rebuked, "I sent you here to assist, not to give orders."

“Assist? You should at least let me see Han Ya’s confession.” Hou Liangping’s tone was firm, his gaze sharp as he stared directly at Lin Yunfei.

"Besides, Hou Liangping, I am no longer the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau."

"So what are you now?" Hou Liangping frowned, deliberately asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Lin Yunfei suddenly calmed down and took a deep breath: "Hou Liangping, my current position is Vice Governor of Handong Province, concurrently Director of the Handong Provincial Public Security Department, and concurrently Second Deputy Secretary of the Handong Provincial State Security Department."

“Since you understand this, you should also understand that different levels have different responsibilities. The Asiana case involves a great deal of information and requires cooperation from multiple parties; it cannot be resolved by one person alone.”

"So, Hou Liangping, don't try to show off your Flower Fruit Mountain's power in front of me."

"Your senior brother, Qi Tongwei, has already been brought down."

"When it comes to work-related matters, you should address your superiors by their titles," Lin Yunfei said firmly and decisively.

Lu Yike stood to the side, her gaze cold and stern, thinking to herself: This Lin Yunfei, now that he's been promoted, he's starting to put on airs and act like a bureaucrat. He's even bringing up his aunt's husband.

Lu Yike took a deep breath, thinking to herself, "It seems this contest has only just begun." She quietly took a step back, observing the situation.

To put it bluntly, a higher-ranking official can have absolute power over you.
