Zhang Fang nodded slightly, his voice tinged with gratitude: "Lanlan, thank you. Don't worry, I'll handle it. You should also be careful on your end, and make sure no one notices anything amiss."
. . . . .
Two days later, Zhao Lan, as the First Secretary of the State Security Bureau, personally went to the detention center to interrogate Cai Chenggong.
While inside, Cai Chenggong also received a note asking him to identify his protector as Liang Qunfeng, the former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong.
They used to mine together, and Liang Qunfeng owned a stake. Cai Chenggong gave Liang Qunfeng a dividend of 1 million yuan every year.
This money was transferred to the account of Liang Qunfeng's eldest son, Liang Tian, every year.
If Cai Chenggong is unwilling, his missing son will disappear completely.
"Secretary Zhao, I'm making a report. I want to earn merit."
Cai Chenggong was particularly anxious. His hands were handcuffed as he looked at Zhao Lan and Li Zheng: "I want to report my protector. It's Liang Qunfeng, the former Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province."
Zhao Lan and Li Zheng exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. But they quickly regained their composure and began to meticulously record Cai Chenggong's accusations.
Cai Chenggong was emotional and spoke rapidly, recounting in detail his deal with Liang Qunfeng and how Liang Qunfeng became his "protector."
He emphasized that he gave Liang Qunfeng a dividend every year in order to protect his mine from being shut down. Liang Qunfeng also used his influence to help him resolve many problems.
Now, he is willing to identify Liang Qunfeng, hoping to get a reduced sentence by doing good deeds.
After listening to Cai Chenggong's report, Zhao Lan and Li Zheng both understood the situation. They knew that this report would cause a huge uproar.
Zhao Lan calmly closed the notebook, her gaze sweeping across Cai Chenggong's anxious face like a knife. "Very good, Cai Chenggong. We will verify this. If it's true, this will count as meritorious service and a reduced sentence."
The following day, the State Security Department of Handong Province investigated the accounts of Liang Qunfeng's eldest son, Liang Tian.
Bank statements show that starting in 2008, a sum of up to 1 million yuan was transferred into Liang Tian's account every year until 2014.
121. Gao Yuliang pleaded for leniency, but Zhao Lan refused to release him.
121. Gao Yuliang pleaded for leniency, but Zhao Lan refused to release him.
A total of six million yuan was deposited into the account of Liang Qunfeng's son, Liang Tian.
Liang Tian, male, 56 years old. Deputy Director of the First Division of the Finance Department of Handong Province.
Subsequently, Zhao Lan immediately led agents from the Second Division of the State Security Bureau of Handong Province to arrest Liang Tian.
At the scene of the arrest, Liang Tian looked stunned, clearly unprepared for this sudden turn of events.
Zhao Lan showed her identification and solemnly read out the arrest warrant: "Liang Tian, based on the testimony of suspect Cai Chenggong, you, Liang Tian, are suspected of economic crimes and need to cooperate with the investigation."
"This is an arrest warrant from the National Security Bureau of Handong Province. Please come with us." After saying this, Zhao Lan placed the arrest warrant in front of Liang Tian.
"No! I haven't committed any crimes, I haven't committed any economic crimes, I'm innocent. Your National Security Bureau has arrested the wrong person."
"Honey, call my dad right now and ask him to come and save me."
Liang Tian was handcuffed and taken to the National Security Bureau's special car with a dejected look on his face.
Zhao Lan's cold gaze and disdainful expression.
"Let's go, let's call it a day."
"It's Secretary Zhao."
. . . . . .
"Dad, something terrible has happened. People from the National Security Bureau of Handong Province suddenly came to our door and arrested Liang Tian."
At the same time, Liang Qunfeng was extremely anxious upon learning of his son's arrest.
He immediately dropped the dinner he was attending and drove to Dongping City, to the State Security Bureau of Handong Province, in an attempt to find out the truth of the matter and seek a solution.
However, when he arrived at the headquarters of the State Security Bureau in Dongping City, he was told that the case was under investigation and he could not meet with Liang Tian.
"This is outrageous! Where is your leader? I want to see your leader."
"I am Liang Qunfeng, the former Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province." Liang Qunfeng was furious and wanted to cause a scene.
Two national security investigators walked forward expressionlessly and shoved Liang Qunfeng.
"Please leave here immediately."
"Otherwise, we will detain you on suspicion of endangering national security."
Upon hearing these words, Liang Qunfeng was stunned, and his face turned ashen.
He knew all too well that his power and status were powerless in the face of the National Security Bureau.
Liang Qunfeng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and turned to leave the National Security Bureau.
Back home, Liang Qunfeng sat in his study, his brow furrowed, deep in thought.
He recalled his career path, the glory and power he once enjoyed, which had now become shackles binding him.
He knew that this matter was no small thing, involving economic crimes, and if it were verified, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Liang Qunfeng began to think of a solution. He realized that in order to rescue his son, he had to find the key to the problem.
He decided to use his network and resources to find a breakthrough.
"Yuliang, this is Liang Qunfeng."
After thinking for a moment, Liang Qunfeng decided to call Gao Yuliang, whom he had personally promoted.
Gao Yuliang can be considered to have inherited his own political resources.
Most importantly, Gao Yuliang is now the third-highest-ranking official in the provincial party committee, serving as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee of Handong.
On the other end of the phone, Gao Yuliang sounded somewhat surprised to hear Liang Qunfeng's voice: "Old leader, why are you calling all of a sudden?"
Liang Qunfeng sighed and briefly told Gao Yuliang about his son's arrest: "Yuliang, Liang Tian has been taken away by the National Security Bureau, supposedly on suspicion of economic crimes. Do you think you can do something to get him out of trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang remained silent for a moment. He knew that this matter was thorny, involving the National Security Bureau, and was not something he could easily intervene in. But he also understood that Liang Qunfeng had been kind to him, and he could not stand idly by at this moment.
"Don't worry, senior leader. I'll do my best to find out what's going on and see if there's anything I can do to help," Gao Yuliang reassured him.
Hearing Gao Yuliang's promise, Liang Qunfeng felt a little relieved: "Then I'll leave it to you, Yuliang. Liang Tian is still young, he can't be ruined like this."
"Don't worry, I will do my best," Gao Yuliang said before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuliang fell into deep thought. He knew this matter needed to be handled carefully and couldn't be acted rashly. He decided to first ask a few trusted friends to find out what the situation was like at the National Security Bureau.
Meanwhile, Liang Qunfeng anxiously awaited news from Gao Yuliang at home. He knew this matter concerned his son's future. He could only hope that Gao Yuliang could find a solution.
. . . . . .
Gao Yuliang made five or six phone calls in his office and finally got the phone number for Zhao Lan's office from Zhao Xiaohui.
"Thank you, Xiaohui."
Zhao Xiaohui revealed a meaningful smile: "Secretary Yuliang, I heard... Hou Liangping, the son-in-law of the Zhong family, was shot in Jingzhou City."
"Xiao Hui, your information network is... very efficient."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang was startled. He realized that the shooting of Hou Liangping might be related to Liang Tian's arrest.
Zhao Xiaohui gave a meaningful smile: "Hehe, Secretary Yuliang. My father has been rooted in Handong for thirty years."
"Nothing, big or small, in Handong can be kept from me."
Gao Yuliang frowned, his expression shifting between light and shadow. "Xiao Hui, you didn't do this, did you?"
"Haha, how could that be? Hou Liangping is in charge of catching corrupt officials. He's offended too many people, including your top disciple." Zhao Xiaohui said, then hung up the phone.
Gao Yuliang decided to put aside his other matters and focus on investigating these two issues. He picked up the phone and dialed Zhao Lan's number.
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Lan's voice was calm and firm: "Hello, who is this?"
. . . . . .
Meanwhile, Zhao Lan was also conducting an intensive investigation within the National Security Bureau.
She knew that this case involved relatives of high-ranking officials, making the investigation extremely difficult.
· ········Requesting 0 flowers ·······
But Zhao Lan did not back down; she wanted to confirm that Liang Qunfeng was Cai Chenggong's "protective umbrella."
In the days that followed, Zhao Lan issued orders to the National Security Bureau.
"No matter who it is, no matter which leader comes to plead for them, you should ignore them."
Zhao Lan looked around with a serious expression. Looking at the two section chiefs and four department heads in front of her, she said, "In short, they're all very polite and enthusiastic, but know nothing when asked."
“I’m telling you, the Handong National Security Bureau is not under the jurisdiction of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, but is directly under the Imperial City Division of the Central Government.”
"Understood, Secretary Zhao." The six men stood at attention and saluted in unison.
"Alright, get back to work. I'll take the pressure off you guys."
Zhao Lan waved her hand. Just then, the red secure phone on her desk rang.
"Hello, who is it?"
Gao Yuliang slowly began to speak, introducing himself: "I am Gao Yuliang from the Provincial Party Committee. Hello, Secretary Zhao."
..... .. ....
Zhao Lan paused for a moment, her mind racing: "Secretary Gao, hello."
Gao Yuliang carefully considered his words: "Secretary Zhao, I heard that your National Security Bureau arrested Liang Tian? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Zhao Lan remained expressionless, displaying an unyielding demeanor: "Secretary Gao, we have found the evidence."
"Several years ago, Cai Chenggong bribed Secretary Liang Qunfeng in the form of share dividends."
"To avoid suspicion, all the money was transferred into Liang Tian's account."
Gao Yuliang was taken aback, his expression changed drastically, he did not expect Zhao Lan to find the evidence so quickly.
Gao Yuliang had originally hoped to use his influence to persuade Zhao Lan to make an exception for Liang Tian. Now it seemed that this idea was clearly too unrealistic.
Gao Yuliang took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm: "Secretary Zhao, Liang Tian is still young. Can we give him a chance to reform?"
Zhao Lan's attitude remained firm: "Secretary Gao, everyone is equal before the law. Liang Tian is suspected of economic crimes and bribery, and we must act in accordance with the law."
Gao Yuliang knew that continuing the conversation would be futile. He could only sigh helplessly and hang up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuliang fell into deeper thought. He understood that this matter had already exceeded his control.
