Chapter 231 Adding Fuel to the Fire

After the deployment was completed to Chen Hai.

Xia Qing then called Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei was flattered to receive Xia Qing's call.

During this period, Qi Tongwei felt that he was drifting further and further away from Minister Xia, which made him very uneasy.

Caught between Gao Yuliang and Xia Qing, and also affected by the previous recording.

Qi Tongwei was caught in a dilemma.

Now, Gao Yuliang and Xia Qing have clearly rejoined the same side, and Cheng Du has risked his life to record the conversation.

Qi Tongwei felt completely refreshed.

But he didn't dare to take the initiative to report his thoughts to Xia Qing. He was waiting for Xia Qing to need him and remember him.

Now, Xia Qing's phone call means that the other party has not given up on him!

This greatly excited Qi Tongwei.

The moment he answered the phone, Qi Tongwei felt a surge of energy, and he said spiritedly:

"Hello, Minister Xia."

Xia Qing was very satisfied with Qi Tongwei's reaction. The man had become a vice governor, yet he was still able to clearly understand his place; this was excellent. Therefore, she said:

"Tongwei, the opportunity to say goodbye to the past has arrived."

Qi Tongwei's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice:

Please give me your instructions.

Xia Qing gave his instructions.

Instruct Qi Tongwei to closely monitor Huilong Group. Once Zhao Ruilong contacts the group, immediately follow the clues to investigate and find out where Zhao Ruilong is hiding in Hong Kong Island.

Meanwhile, information from Zhao Ruilong's criminal gang in Handong, who was detained, revealed Zhao Ruilong's hideout in Hong Kong.

Once Zhao Ruilong's whereabouts are confirmed, the next step is to contact the Hong Kong Island police to block any routes Zhao Ruilong may take to leave Hong Kong.

To prevent Zhao Ruilong from bypassing Handong and returning directly to Beijing from Hong Kong Island via special means.

After listening quietly, Qi Tongwei had a clear understanding of Xia Qing's instructions.

Xia Qing planned to trap Zhao Ruilong on Hong Kong Island to prevent him from returning to Zhao Lichun's side.

As long as Zhao Ruilong remains a fugitive, Zhao Lichun will be at the mercy of others.

Qi Tongwei immediately stated:

"Please rest assured, I will arrange it immediately."

Xia Qing said "Thank you for your hard work" and then hung up the phone.

The office remained quiet.

Xia Qing, however, completely ruined the deal between the Ni family and the Zhao family through two phone calls.

Meanwhile, Xia Qing was very much looking forward to seeing if Chen Hai could find out the Ni family's "white gloves" in the Handong area.

If this step succeeds, the Ni family will be dragged into this mess, with no way to back out.

As a result, Sha Ruijin also has something on his hands!

As for the next step.

Xia Qing toyed with the pen, her eyes filled with a mocking gaze.

The matters concerning the Ni and Zhao families are now settled.

It's time to give the Chung family another boost!

Thinking of this, Xia Qing called Ji Changming again...

……

At almost the same time, the Public Security Bureau and the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate took action simultaneously.

First, the Public Security Bureau conducted large-scale, targeted interrogations of criminal gangs that had been dismantled during the crackdown on organized crime.

These groups initially insisted that they did not know Zhao Ruilong.

After several rounds of interrogation, the gang members finally broke down and confessed the truth.

As a result, the Public Security Bureau obtained intelligence about Zhao Ruilong's five hiding places on Hong Kong Island.

The Public Security Bureau immediately contacted the Hong Kong Island Police Department, requesting their cooperation in the investigation.

With the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection personally stationed in Handong to investigate the accounting books, and the final clues pointing directly to Zhao Ruilong.

The Hong Kong Island police cooperated fully and invited the police from the Hantong Provincial Public Security Bureau to enter Hong Kong Island to work together.

They immediately added Zhao Ruilong to the blacklist of all airport ports on Hong Kong Island, blocking his way out of Hong Kong.

On the anti-corruption front, Chen Hai led a team to launch a surprise inspection of Huilong Group.

The discovery was quite fruitful; they found that Huilong Group was undergoing asset consolidation and transfer, showing signs of fleeing in batches.

Chen Hai immediately stopped Huilong Group's actions and reported the matter to the Supreme People's Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau in the investigation team.

Director Qin Siyuan attached great importance to the matter and immediately dispatched personnel from the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate to cooperate with the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau to keep a close watch on Huilong Group, completely thwarting its plans to transfer assets.

The funniest thing is...

The deputy general manager of Huilong Group, after discovering that the matter had been exposed and that he could not leave.

He made the stupidest decision of his life.

This deputy general manager actually made threats while brazenly calling Zhao Ruilong in Hong Kong from his office landline to report the situation, and even boasted that the Zhao family was not to be trifled with.

The police officers and anti-corruption bureau personnel present looked at each other in bewilderment.

As soon as the call connected, Zhao Ruilong launched into a tirade of profanities:

"Are you fucking crazy? How dare you call me at a time like this?"

Everyone almost burst out laughing, and immediately started investigating the conversation.

In a surprising and delightful turn of events, Zhao Ruilong's hiding place was confirmed!

Police from the Handong Public Security Bureau quickly entered Hong Kong Island and, together with local police, began close surveillance of Zhao Ruilong's hideout.

Now, all the preparations are complete!

Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai were also quite moved.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the two reunited under Minister Xia's command and fought side by side.

That's really encouraging.

The report from the front line was relayed to Xia Qingshi.

Xia Qing gave it high praise and then proceeded to the final step.

If you let the Zhong family start that fire, that fire will also burn the Zhong family.

The following day, Ji Changming invited Hou Liangping to his office.

As a former leader, Ji Changming earnestly advised Hou Liangping not to be at the forefront and become the target of public criticism in Handong.

Hou Liangping, of course, wouldn't listen.

In his eyes, anyone who offered him advice was someone who couldn't stand to see him succeed and wanted to prevent him from rising to a higher position.

Ji Changming became enraged and shouted:

"If you're so capable, why don't you go after provincial and ministerial-level leaders? Why do you keep targeting ordinary cadres listed in the ledgers?"

Hou Liangping roared even louder:

"Then I'll arrest a provincial or ministerial-level official to show you!"

The conversation ended unhappily.

Ji Changming watched Hou Liangping's indignant departure and sighed softly.

Well, it's hard to persuade someone with kind words.

That can be considered as fulfilling Minister Xia's instructions.

That evening, Hou Liangping immediately led a team to the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference to take away and question the provincial and ministerial-level officials listed in the ledger.

They traced the matter back to its source, unearthing the files of these officials and pointing the finger directly at Zhao Lichun during his tenure.

The investigation revealed that during Zhao Lichun's tenure, these provincial and ministerial-level officials from the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference were all serving as department-level officials in important departments.

This now matches the records in the ledger.

This fire has now spread to Zhao Lichun.

……

Beijing.

Having reached a deal with the Ni family and preparing to settle accounts with the Zhong family, Zhao Lichun is now planning his actions against them.

His subordinate's urgent report sent a chill down his spine!

Zhao Ruilong's hiding place on Hong Kong Island has been exposed!

Police blocked Zhao Ruilong's escape route and monitored his hiding place.

Huilong Group's asset transfer was abruptly halted, and the investigation team took complete control of Huilong Group.

This sudden news left Zhao Lichun restless and unable to eat or sleep.

The foundation built up over decades in Handong is about to crumble.

Her only biological son had no chance of escape.

For the first time, he felt the panic of impending doom.

Damn it, what is old man Ni doing?

Why did they agree to have Huilong Group transfer assets and extradite Zhao Ruilong?

Both roads are completely blocked!

Who did this?!

Zhao Lichun asked angrily, and his subordinate answered tremblingly:

"The Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate of Handong Province have joined forces."
