Chapter 1098 The Corruption Case in Yantai City (3)
Lü Liang's reminder was very straightforward.
It's true that you, Hou Liangping, have a provincial governor as your father-in-law, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
Hou Liangping felt a throbbing pain in his temples.
He knew that whenever a case reached a critical juncture, this old leader would always jump out and cause trouble.
Over the years, he had had enough of the rigidity of Lüliang.
He insisted on principles in everything and discipline in every matter, like an iron-faced judge. This wore down his sharpness in fighting corruption and handling cases, making him feel constrained and frustrated when he was handling cases.
I originally thought that being transferred to the position of deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate would allow me to completely escape the circle of Lüliang and catch my breath.
Little did he expect that before he could even be happy for half a month, Lü Liang would also be transferred over, becoming like a maggot clinging to his bone, impossible to shake off.
Moreover, he became his direct superior—the executive deputy director of the anti-corruption bureau.
Even though he's a deputy director at the level of a full-fledged division chief, he's still subject to other people's authority.
Upon hearing this, he immediately hoped that Zhao Xiaohui could use her influence to transfer Lü Liang away or keep him at the Jingzhou Procuratorate.
It didn't work!
The leaders of the provincial procuratorate said that the two of them had worked well together during their years at the Jingzhou Procuratorate and were recognized as a golden combination. Now that they have come to the provincial procuratorate, they are ready to achieve even greater success.
Heaven and earth conscience!
In every major case in Jingzhou, Hou Liangping was at the forefront, working through the night and overcoming all obstacles.
Every entry on his list of achievements is soaked in his blood and sweat. What does it have to do with Lüliang?
If we follow Lüliang's methodical approach, I'm afraid none of those complex cases will be solved.
There was silence for a moment.
Hou Liangping said coldly, "Director Lü, if you're afraid, then I'll take full responsibility for this case. If anything goes wrong, I, Hou Liangping, will bear all the consequences and will not hinder your future."
Upon hearing this, the entire command center fell silent.
The two deputy directors are about to clash.
Lü Liang sensed the tense atmosphere and criticized, "Comrade Liangping, I'm just stating the facts. Can you please not let your emotions get in the way?"
“Director Lü, I’m just stating the facts. To solve a case, someone has to make sacrifices. What do my personal gains and losses matter for the sake of the Party and the people? At worst, I’ll resign.”
Again.
Lü Liang sneered inwardly.
They always talk about the Party and the people, claiming you're the only honest official who serves the Party and the people, while everyone else is corrupt and inactive!
That arrogance, built on the back of women, hasn't changed a bit.
Lü Liang didn't want to argue with this prickly and unyielding "Monkey King" anymore. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and waved his hand: "Fine, fine, Comrade Liangping, if you insist on doing this, I have nothing to say."
But let me make this clear from the start: you need to submit a written report to the Provincial Procuratorate, clearly outlining your case-handling strategy, risk assessment, and your earlier statement about "taking full responsibility," all in black and white, and have it signed and sealed.
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the silent crowd in the command center, his tone suddenly turning serious, carrying an undeniable authority: "The rules cannot be broken, and the procedures cannot be omitted."
I will submit this report to the chief prosecutor and the party group, as a record for the organization.
"I won't stop you from charging into battle, but we have to follow the rules—you're the deputy director of the provincial procuratorate, not a lone wolf. Every step you take must be within the organizational framework."
“Furthermore,” Lü Liang’s voice became even colder, “the search warrant must be complete. Without proper procedures, not a single step can be taken.”
The members of the investigation team can stand by, but no one is allowed to act without my signature and approval.
Comrade Liangping, I'm not trying to sabotage your plans, I'm just covering for you. If something really goes wrong, you can't handle it alone, and the provincial court won't be able to afford the loss of face!
The air in the command center seemed to freeze; everyone lowered their heads, afraid to make a sound.
Hou Liangping's face turned bright red, and the throbbing in his temples became even louder. He stared at Lü Liang, a mocking smile on his lips: "Director Lü, you've thought this through. So, when I handle a case, I have to write you a guarantee first?"
"Okay, I'll write the report, but I'll apply for the search warrant now. Half an hour, at most half an hour, and all the paperwork will be complete!"
Lü Liang didn't reply. He simply sat back down in his chair, picked up the enamel mug on the table, took a sip of the cold tea, and seemed lost in thought.
Hou Liangping stormed back to his office and sat down, his anger burning in his chest. It took him a long time to calm down before he threw himself back into his work.
