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

Page 112

Gao Xiaoqin had just seen Chen Hai off.

Zhao Ruilong called: "President Gao, something's happened. Liu Qingzhu, the CFO of your Shanshui Group..."

"They actually used a public phone booth to report their affairs to Hou Liangping, the head of the anti-corruption bureau. They even dragged me and Qi Tongwei into it."

"You must tell Qi Tongwei immediately and have him take immediate action against Hou Liangping."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin's expression changed drastically, but she quickly regained her composure. She rapidly considered a solution and said to Zhao Ruilong, "President Zhao, let's stabilize the situation and capture Liu Qingzhu first."

"I'll call Qi Tongwei right now."

"Hurry up, Hou Liangping is Zhong Xiaoai's husband. He's joining the special task force tomorrow and heading to Qijiang City."

Although Zhao Ruilong was in Lüzhou City, he was still very clear about the situation in Jingzhou City.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Xiaoqin walked to the office door with a serious expression and closed it.

Then she took out her phone and dialed her lover, Qi Tongwei.

"Director, something terrible has happened. There's been an accident."

"What happened?" Qi Tongwei asked, puzzled.

Gao Xiaoqin looked anxious and said something shocking: "Director, Liu Qingzhu, the financial director of Shanshui Group, reported you, along with your junior Hou Liangping, and even mentioned Zhao Ruilong and you."

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics yet."

Qi Tongwei's expression changed drastically, looking incredulous: "What? CFO Liu Qingzhu reported Hou Liangping?"

Upon hearing this, he gasped in shock, nearly fainting.

Gao Xiaoqin nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right, Director. This was Zhao Ruilong who called me personally."

"You should call your junior right away and suppress this matter."

Qi Tongwei gasped, his face turning ashen: "Okay, Xiaoqin. I understand. I'll handle 510."

Would Hou Liangping be lenient? Absolutely not.

As the CFO of Shanshui Group, Liu Qingzhu certainly knew that he owned shares in the group and received annual dividends.

Zhao Ruilong is not currently in Handong at all.

Hou Liangping is going to arrest corrupt officials, so he'll definitely arrest me.

An even more pressing matter is that the special task force is assembling tomorrow. If Hou Liangping meets Lin Yunfei, he should tell him about this.

Qi Tongwei felt a chill run down his spine, a cold sensation shooting straight to the top of his head.

I am doomed.

Qi Tongwei thought for a moment, then dialed an unknown number: "Gao Mingyuan, do me a favor. I need to kill someone, and I'll die tonight."

. . . . .

Inside a luxurious villa in Green Vine City.

Gao Mingyuan paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile. A meaningful smile: "Director Qi. Tell me, who should we kill?"

Qi Tongwei lowered his voice: "Hou Liangping, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate."

"His current location is: Provincial People's Hospital, VIP Ward 403."

"Do it cleanly and efficiently, and put a silencer on the gun."

Gao Mingyuan remained expressionless and nonchalant: "Okay, no problem. Director Qi."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Mingyuan called his subordinate Lao Ning and ordered him to go to the Provincial People's Hospital and kill Hou Liangping.

In fact, Gao Mingyuan had already gotten involved with Qi Tongwei five years ago. He continuously gave Qi Tongwei dividends without asking for anything in return.

. . . . .

That night, the assassin Lao Ning wore a mask and chewed garlic.

We arrived at the Provincial People's Hospital.

He slipped into the hospital silently, avoiding the security cameras, and skillfully moved through the corridors. He arrived at the door of VIP ward 403 and peeked through the crack in the door. He saw Hou Liangping lying on the bed, seemingly receiving an IV drip, appearing completely unsuspecting.

Old Ning took a deep breath, slowly pushed open the door, and tiptoed into the ward. He took out a (bjah) pistol from his pocket, attached a silencer, aimed it at Hou Liangping's chest, and slowly pulled the trigger.

However, at this critical moment, the lights in the ward suddenly went out, plunging the room into darkness. Old Ning was startled and quickly put away his gun, keeping his eyes fixed on his surroundings.

From the darkness, a deep voice suddenly rang out: "Hmph, I knew you wouldn't let this go."

Old Ning felt a chill run down his spine and decisively aimed at Hou Liangping on the hospital bed, pulling the trigger repeatedly.

boom! Bang bang! !

Hou Liangping was shot in the chest, three times. One bullet hit his right lung, and two hit his abdomen. Bright red blood flowed continuously.

At that moment, Zhao Donglai kicked open the door and rushed in. He drew his pistol from his waist and decisively fired at the gunman, Lao Ning.

Boom! !

The assassin, Lao Ning, was shot in the brain. Like an exploding watermelon, the red and white parts burst open and scattered all over the ground.

Hou Liangping spat out a mouthful of blood, his head lolled to the side, and he fell into a coma: "Pfft."

"Hou Liangping? Director Hou."

"Thankfully, he's still breathing." Zhao Donglai, trembling, reached out and touched Hou Liangping's nostrils, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Doctor! Go get the doctor right away!"

Zhao Donglai immediately called for a doctor and ordered his men to cordon off the scene and launch an investigation. He quickly examined Hou Liangping's injuries and found that his condition was critical and he needed to be taken to the hospital immediately for emergency treatment.

The ambulance arrived with sirens blaring, and medical staff quickly lifted Hou Liangping onto a stretcher and rushed him to the operating room. Zhao Donglai followed closely behind, silently praying that Hou Liangping would pull through.

Inside the brightly lit operating room, medical staff worked diligently and systematically to save the patient. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, each second feeling exceptionally long.

After several hours of intense surgery, Hou Liangping was finally out of danger. However, he remains weak and needs to continue receiving treatment in the hospital.

This incident has drawn great attention from the top leadership of Handong Province.

Upon learning of this news, Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin was furious and issued an order: "This is utterly lawless! Get me Qi Tongwei on board. Have him dispatch elite criminal investigators from the Public Security Bureau to thoroughly investigate this shooting case."

"Also, we're not going to investigate anymore. We're turning back to Jingzhou immediately."

"These criminals must be severely punished!"

"Secretary Bai, have Qi Tongwei set up a special task force. He will be the head of the task force and give me a full investigation into this matter. We must get to the bottom of it."

It's clear that Sha Ruijin is truly enraged. Anti-Corruption Bureau Chief Hou Liangping was shot by an assassin at the hospital!

What if he were to explain this to Zhong Zhengguo?

It's important to understand that although Hou Liangping is a son-in-law of the Zhong family, as long as he doesn't divorce Zhong Xiaoai, he is still considered a member of the Zhong family.

Secretary Bai nodded, his expression serious, and took out his phone: "Yes, Secretary Sha. I'll call Director Qi right away."

"Hello, is this Director Qi? Secretary Sha already knows that Director Hou Liangping was shot by an assassin at the hospital and his condition is currently unknown..."

When Qi Tongwei received the call from Secretary Bai, a weight was finally lifted from his shoulders.

Gao Mingyuan did a great job; Hou Liangping was dealt with urgently.

"What? Hou Liangping was shot by an assassin!" Qi Tongwei feigned shock, his face showing indignation.

"These bastards are absolutely lawless."

"Director Bai, what instructions does Secretary Sha have?" Qi Tongwei changed the subject and asked.

Secretary Bai's expression was serious as he said in a deep voice, "Secretary Sha has instructed that a special task force be immediately established, with you, Director Qi, serving as the head of the task force. A comprehensive investigation into this matter must be conducted. We must get to the bottom of this and find the mastermind behind it all."

Qi Tongwei nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at food: "Okay, Director Bai. Don't worry, I'll take a car back to the Public Security Bureau tonight and set up a special task force."

He thought to himself, "This was originally my doing."

You want me, Qi Tongwei, to investigate Qi Tongwei?

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, Gao Yuliang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, had his home phone ringing non-stop.

Gao Yuliang, wearing pajamas and glasses, came down from the second floor, yawning, "What is it? It's so late."

"Hello, this is Gao Yuliang from the Provincial Party Committee."

"Secretary Gao, something has happened. Hou Liangping was shot by an assassin in the hospital and was hit three times."

Zhao Donglai called to inform Gao Yuliang of the news.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang's expression changed drastically, and his glasses nearly slipped off his nose: "What? Hou Liangping was shot! How is that possible!"

He quickly adjusted his glasses, his tone tinged with disbelief: "Zhao Donglai, are you sure the news is true? How is Hou Liangping doing now?"

Zhao Donglai said in a deep voice on the other end of the phone, "Secretary Gao, the news is absolutely true. Director Hou has been sent to the People's Hospital and is undergoing emergency treatment in the resuscitation room. He is now out of danger and has been admitted to the ICU."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang pondered to himself: Hou Liangping, as the head of the anti-corruption bureau, had always been highly regarded by Sha Ruijin. Now that he had been shot, this matter was bound to cause a huge uproar.

He pondered for a moment, then instructed Zhao Donglai: "Zhao Donglai, you must protect the scene and assist the comrades from the Public Security Bureau in their investigation. This matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly."

Zhao Donglai quickly replied, "Yes, Secretary Gao. I will do my best to assist in the investigation."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuliang stood in the living room with a solemn expression, silently considering how to deal with this sudden storm.

He knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it would not only affect him, but could also shake up the entire officialdom of Handong Province.

At this moment, the night outside the window was deep and the stars were twinkling. Gao Yuliang, however, had no heart to appreciate the tranquility of the night; his heart was filled with worry and unease.

He knew that the storm was coming and he had to be prepared to deal with it.

"Tongwei, your old junior Hou Liangping was attacked by an assassin in the hospital and has been shot three times."

Gao Yuliang immediately called Qi Tongwei.

When Qi Tongwei received Gao Yuliang's call, his face grew even more grim: "Teacher, I already know. Hou Liangping was shot; this was something no one expected."

He sneered inwardly; this was all the result of his meticulous planning. But on the surface, he had to feign deep sorrow.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to investigate this case and catch the mastermind behind it," Qi Tongwei said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang nodded slightly: "Tongwei, this matter is of great importance. You must not only investigate the case thoroughly, but also stabilize the situation. Don't let this matter affect the stability of our Handong Province."

"Yes, Secretary Gao. I understand," Qi Tongwei replied quickly.

He secretly pondered that Gao Yuliang's words were undoubtedly a reminder not to make a big fuss about this matter. Otherwise, once it attracted the attention of higher-ups, he might find it difficult to extricate himself.
