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

He could only hope that Liang Qunfeng could find a solution on his own, or wait for the storm to pass before trying to rescue Liang Tian.

However, Gao Yuliang knew in his heart that this matter would probably not be over so easily. Liang Qunfeng, as the former secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, having a son suspected of economic crimes, was in itself an extremely sensitive issue.

If not handled properly, it could trigger a chain reaction and even affect oneself.

Thinking about this, Gao Yuliang couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

He understood that he had to handle this matter more carefully and not let himself get involved.

122. Lin Yunfei was framed, and a huge amount of cash was found in his office.

Meanwhile, Liang Qunfeng did not give up. He inquired everywhere about Zhao Lan's identity.

She even took the initiative to call her son-in-law, Qi Tongwei.

Liang Qunfeng's expression was complicated as he slowly spoke, "Tongwei, it's me."

"I want to ask you... do you know Zhao Lan, her background?"

After receiving the call from his father-in-law, Qi Tongwei's expression turned serious. He knew that Liang Qunfeng's inquiry into Zhao Lan's identity meant that something must have happened to the Liang family.

Having spent many years navigating the complexities of officialdom, Qi Tongwei immediately grasped the implications.

"Dad, don't worry. Give me 24 hours. I know Zhao Lan's husband."

While reassuring his father-in-law, Qi Tongwei quickly considered a solution in his mind. His tone was perfunctory.

Liang Qunfeng sighed: "Tongwei, to be honest, Liang Tian was suddenly arrested by the National Security Bureau. The person leading the team was Zhao Lan, the First Secretary of the National Security Bureau."

"You know, I've been retired for over 527 years now. Could it be... that someone is targeting me? Making a fuss about me?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei's face showed a look of disdain, and he thought to himself: So even you, Liang Qunfeng, have a day when you're afraid?

Back then, because of something Liang Lu said, you blocked my path to advancement and sent me to a township judicial office in Daoyantai City.

"Dad, this is a special time. I will contact Zhao Lan's husband as soon as possible to find out what's going on. Don't worry, I will do my best to resolve this matter." Qi Tongwei said expressionlessly, spouting empty words of comfort.

Then, hung up the phone.

. . . . . .

At this moment, Gao Yuliang called and told Liang Qunfeng some crucial information.

"Old leader, Zhao Lan doesn't agree to release him."

"However, I've heard that Zhao Lan's husband is Lin Yunfei, the executive deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department." After saying that, Gao Yuliang hung up immediately.

Liang Qunfeng gripped the phone tightly, his brow furrowed. Was all of this premeditated? Qi Tongwei's evasive attitude made him uneasy.

Think of this.

Liang Qunfeng's expression turned ashen. After thinking for a moment, he dialed another mysterious number. "Xiao Li, it's me, Qunfeng. Do me a favor."

"Old boss, what do you want me to do?"

Liang Qunfeng slowly began to speak, recounting in a deep voice: "It's like this, these past few nights you've sneaked into the office of the executive deputy director of your Public Security Bureau. You've put cash in the bookcase and on the ceiling."

The other party remained silent for a full fifteen seconds: "Old boss. This...this is illegal, this is a frame-up."

Liang Qunfeng sneered: "Little Li, don't forget. Back then, your son hit and killed a pregnant woman with his car. I covered it up."

"Otherwise, your son would have been sentenced to death and eaten peanuts long ago."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li's tone softened immediately. After hesitating for a moment, he replied in a low voice, "Understood, old leader. I will do it as soon as possible."

"I'll have someone secretly help you by breaking the security cameras in the corridor."

"Speak," Liang Qunfeng said, and hung up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Qunfeng took out a candybar phone. He then took out an anonymous SIM card and dialed a number.

"Hey, it's me. Do me a favor, and I'll give you 2 million to go abroad..."

Requesting flowers...

That evening, a man wearing a black hoodie and a black mask, carrying a black backpack in his left hand, stealthily approached Lin Yunfei's office door.

The security camera in the corridor malfunctioned and short-circuited, burning out.

He put on gloves and used the spare key to unlock the door. The mysterious man in black quickly went inside with his backpack.

After looking around and confirming that no one was around, he quickly hid the cash in his backpack in several places, including in the bookcase and in the gaps in the ceiling.

After doing all this, the man in black carefully checked the scene again to make sure no traces were left before quietly leaving the office.

. . . . .

The next day, when Lin Yunfei, dressed in his police uniform, arrived at the Public Security Bureau's office, he was surprised to find the huge sum of cash. Shocked, he immediately realized that someone had deliberately framed him.

Lin Yunfei immediately reported the incident to the police and proactively informed the Provincial Public Security Department's Discipline Inspection Team and Governor Zhao Anbang of the situation. He actively cooperated with the Discipline Inspection Team's investigation, striving to clear his name.

"Uncle Zhao, someone must have deliberately framed me."

“I was on the highway yesterday, sitting in a Coaster. As the head of the task force, I haven’t been in Jingzhou City the whole time. You know that.”

"The other members of the task force, Zheng Yaping, the director of the first department, and An Xin, the deputy director of the publicity department of the municipal public security bureau, can testify for me."

Lin Yunfei was holding his phone and explaining the situation to Zhao Anbang.

Zhao Anbang listened to Lin Yunfei's explanation with a solemn expression. He was well aware of the deceit and treachery in officialdom, and such frame-ups were not uncommon.

"Yunfei, don't worry. I trust your character. I'll speak with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Public Security Bureau to make sure no one wrongs you," Zhao Anbang said firmly, reassuring Lin Yunfei.

Lin Yunfei nodded gratefully: "Thank you for your trust, Uncle Zhao. I will definitely cooperate fully with the investigation and strive to clarify the facts as soon as possible."

"Oh, right, Uncle Zhao. There's something else I need to tell you. A few months ago, I reported my assets to Uncle Liu..."

"Uncle Liu, he knows. He even notified the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and made a record of it."

Zhao Anbang frowned and asked, "Yunfei, are you talking about...Governor Liu?"

“That’s right, the former governor of Handong Province… Liu Cheng, Uncle Liu.” Lin Yunfei nodded and acknowledged.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Anbang immediately called Tian Guofu of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The situation regarding Lin Yunfei was briefly explained. It was emphasized that as the head of the special task force, Lin Yunfei was always on duty outside the area and would not have had time to accept bribes.

"Comrade Guofu, this matter is definitely a deliberate frame-up. You need to arrange for someone to conduct a thorough investigation of Lin Yunfei's office as soon as possible and find out the truth." Zhao Anbang gave the order to Tian Guofu in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, Tian Guofu's expression also turned serious. He knew all too well that such framing and slander was not uncommon in officialdom. Moreover, if not handled properly, it could easily trigger a chain reaction.

"Governor Zhao, rest assured. I will immediately arrange for comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to conduct a detailed investigation of Comrade Lin Yunfei's office in the Public Security Bureau. At the same time, we will also verify his assets to ensure that no clue is overlooked," Tian Guofu assured Zhao Anbang with a firm tone.

Zhao Anbang reminded him, "Regarding Comrade Yunfei's assets, Governor Liu has kept records with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Organization Department. You can go and check the records."

Tian Guofu's expression changed, and he was extremely surprised: "Governor Liu... Governor Liu?"

Zhao Anbang: "Now, we should address him as Secretary Liu."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Guofu immediately arranged for people to conduct a detailed investigation of Lin Yunfei's office. At the same time, he also retrieved the surveillance footage from the Public Security Bureau.

However, the security camera was broken.

"Governor Zhao, hello. Here's the thing, our comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection are investigating and collecting evidence. They discovered that the security camera is broken."

Therefore, Tian Guofu immediately reported the investigation results to Governor Zhao Anbang.

Zhao Anbang listened to Tian Guofu's report with a grave expression. He knew that there was definitely a bigger conspiracy behind this matter.

"Comrade Guofu, we must be vigilant."

"It's very possible that there's a mole within the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province."

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, the investigation by the Public Security Bureau's Discipline Inspection Team was proceeding intensively. They were conducting a thorough search of Lin Yunfei's office, looking for any possible clues.

On the other hand, an investigation and verification of Lin Yunfei's recent itinerary and activities were conducted.

After a day of intensive investigation, members of the Public Security Bureau's Discipline Inspection Team made a significant discovery. They found a deleted video in the Public Security Bureau's surveillance system. After recovering it using technical means, they were able to see the figure of the mysterious man in black.

Although Liang Qunfeng was filled with unease, he feigned composure and waited for the situation to unfold. He knew full well that this move was extremely dangerous, but in order to rescue his son Liang Tian, ​​who had been arrested by the National Security Bureau, he had no choice but to take the risk.

123. Hou Liangping awakens, and Gao Xiaoqin flees to Hong Kong Island.

123. Hou Liangping awakens, and Gao Xiaoqin flees to Hong Kong Island.

Just as Lin Yunfei was inexplicably framed, a huge sum of unexplained cash was discovered in the Public Security Bureau's office.

At the Provincial People's Hospital, Hou Liangping, who had been shot by an assassin, was finally out of danger and slowly opened his eyes.

A white ceiling, the pungent smell of disinfectant, and the busy figures of medical staff came into view. His thoughts gradually cleared, recalling that thrilling gunfight. Not far away, Zhong Xiaoai frowned and softly asked, "How are you feeling, Liangping?"

Hou Liangping's lips were cracked, his expression weak, and his face haggard. He looked as if he had just escaped death: "Xiao...Xiao Ai, I...I'm still alive?"

Zhong Xiaoai sighed, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes. "Yes, you pulled through."

Zhong Xiaoai gripped his hand tightly, her eyes slightly red. "Liangping, you really scared me to death."

Hou Liangping forced a smile, his voice weak: "I'm sorry, Xiao Ai, I made you worry."

Tears welled in Zhong Xiaoai's eyes, but she forced a smile: "Don't speak, just rest. I will definitely avenge you and find the murderer."

Hou Liangping snapped out of his daze. He recalled Liu Qingzhu's accusation and his expression turned serious: "Xiao Ai, at 7 p.m. on the night of the incident, I received a call... from someone claiming to be Liu Qingzhu, the CFO of Shanshui Group."

"The CFO of Shanshui Group?" Zhong Xiaoai frowned upon hearing this news.

Hou Liangping's voice was weak: "That's right, Liu Qingzhu reported to me on the phone that the shareholders of Shanshui Group include Zhao Ruilong, Qi Tongwei, Chen Qingquan, and Liu Xinjian."

"They also frequently targeted cadres, and gave money to many cadres."

"Xiao Ai, you... go find Liu Qingzhu right now."

Zhong Xiaoai nodded solemnly: "I understand, but your most important thing right now is to recover. I will arrange for someone to find Liu Qingzhu's whereabouts and ensure his safety."

Hou Liangping shook his head slightly, his eyes revealing determination: "No, Xiao Ai. Since Liu Qingzhu dared to report me, he must have obtained crucial evidence. But he is likely in danger now, and we must find him as soon as possible."

Zhong Xiaoai hesitated for a moment, knowing that Hou Liangping's concerns were not unfounded. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will take care of it myself. But you must promise me that you will rest well and recover as soon as possible."

Hou Liangping nodded gently, his eyes filled with gratitude. He knew that his survival was inseparable from Zhong Xiaoai's perseverance.

Zhong Xiaoai gently patted his hand, then turned and left the ward. Her heart was filled with determination; she was determined to bring the mastermind behind this to justice and would not allow anyone to harm Hou Liangping.
