Chapter 1732

As soon as the door opened, what appeared before his eyes was not the hotel waitress, but a man in his forties wearing a police uniform, standing before him with a stern face. As soon as he opened the door, the man glanced inside, then waved his hand, and more than a dozen police officers surged out from his side. Before Li Changping could even react, they shouted loudly without explanation: "Don't move, police!" and rushed into the room.

"What's going on, what's going on!"

"What are you doing!"

Secretary Jin and the others, who were sitting around the mahjong table, were immediately surrounded by the group of police officers who rushed into the room, and they were instantly thrown into chaos, shouting loudly.

Li Changping finally reacted, realizing the situation was bad, and quickly rushed in, shouting loudly: "What are you doing? What are you doing!"

He Yuping, with a majestic face, twisted Li Changping's arm to subdue him and handed him over to the police officers beside him, then said righteously: "Someone reported gambling here!" As he spoke, he glanced at the table. He didn't know until he looked, but he was shocked when he did. In all his years of work, although he had raided gambling dens many times, it was the first time he had seen a pile of hundred-yuan bills scattered on the table, estimated to be worth tens of thousands of yuan. He then ordered: "Confiscate the gambling funds!"

Secretary Jin clearly hadn't realized this scene would play out tonight, but after all, he was a dignified Provincial Party Secretary; what big scenes hadn't he seen? Facing this situation, he wasn't flustered at all. He looked up at the righteous He Yuping and asked: "Which bureau are you from?"

He Yuping said sternly: "I am He Yuping, captain of the Criminal Police Team of the Xijing Municipal Public Security Bureau." As he spoke, he turned his head and ordered his subordinates sternly: "Take them all away!"

"You... you are bold! Do you know who you are talking to!" Li Changping, relying on Secretary Jin's presence, roared at He Yuping like a dog relying on its master's power.

"I don't care who you are! Take them all back!" He Yuping retorted sternly.

"Captain He, do you know who I am?" Secretary Jin sat in his chair, unmoved, looking at him very calmly and asking.

He Yuping sneered and said: "I don't care who you are! You are gathering for gambling, the gambling funds are large, you must be taken back! Take them all away!"

"You are bold! You, a mere captain of the Xijing Municipal Criminal Police Team, dare to be disrespectful to our Secretary Jin!" Deputy Secretary Zhou revealed Secretary Jin's identity and roared at He Yuping.

"That... that's right, you dare to be disrespectful to Secretary Jin! Be sensible and get out quickly!" Li Changping followed up and roared at He Yuping.

When Xijing City originally transferred He Yuping from a prefecture-level city, it was because they valued his upright style of not recognizing even his own relatives. Although He Yuping felt a bit shocked when he heard Deputy Secretary Zhou and Li Changping reveal Secretary Jin's identity, and he felt that this fat man sitting in the chair with an official air looked a bit familiar, he realized after careful thought that he often saw him on the Hexi Provincial News Broadcast. He was slightly shocked in his heart. Fresh, could this fat man be Secretary Jin of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee?

Thinking of this, He Yuping froze for a moment.

Seeing He Yuping intimidated by Secretary Jin's name, the other police officers were also slightly surprised, all dumbfounded and looking at each other, not knowing what to do, waiting for He Yuping to express his stance.

Secretary Jin saw He Yuping was a bit afraid, so he hummed a laugh, signaled Li Changping to go over and close the door, lit a cigarette, and said to He Yuping in a threatening tone, slowly and unhurriedly: "Captain He, if you leave here now, you can take the money, and don't make public what happened tonight. I can choose not to pursue your responsibility. Otherwise, I think you know the consequences!"

"Captain He, consider it carefully. You are just a small captain of the Xijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Criminal Police Team. You dare to be so disrespectful to Secretary Jin; have you eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard! While Secretary Jin isn't angry yet, you'd better not be obsessed and confused. Be sensible and get out of here quickly with your people! Otherwise, the consequences will be quite serious!"

He Yuping, who was hesitating, was threatened by Secretary Jin and Deputy Secretary Zhou, and immediately dispelled that fearful mentality. With a face full of righteous awe, he sternly said to them: "I don't care who you are! There are reports from the masses that you are gathering for gambling here, so I must act impartially! Take them away!"

"You dare!" Secretary Jin was completely enraged by He Yuping's stubbornness. In a fit of rage, he slammed the table hard, stood up with a "whoosh," pointed at He Yuping's nose, and roared with a terrifying face: "Surname He, have you eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard! If you dare to take us, several Provincial Party Committee leaders, out of here today, I will have you dismissed tomorrow!"

He Yuping was the type of person who ate soft but not hard. If the other party was hard, he was even harder. It was precisely this sense of justice that was hard to find in today's society that allowed him to stand out as soon as he entered the public security system after graduating from the police academy. Relying on that stubbornness, he never acted with favoritism in law enforcement and case handling. For every case he handled personally, he never tolerated illegal and criminal elements, and could even be said to be ruthless. It was this fearless spirit that allowed him to do an excellent job in local public security work in Baoping City, a prefecture-level city in Hexi Province. During his six years as Deputy Director of the Baoping Municipal Public Security Bureau in charge of public security, Baoping City won the honorary title of National Public Security Model City for six consecutive years. In recent years, under the call of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, Xijing City set the goal of creating a National Public Security Model City. For this reason, He Yuping was specially promoted to Captain of the Xijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Criminal Police Team and Deputy Director in charge of public security. The Xijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government were extremely positive about He Yuping's work achievements over the past two years and valued him highly. This also to a certain extent fostered He Yuping's more fierce and mighty style, forming that fearless style of handling affairs.

Therefore, after Secretary Jin slammed the table in a rage and threatened He Yuping, he didn't feel any fear because of it. Instead, he stared even more seriously at the angry Secretary Jin and said sternly: "Secretary Jin, I tell you, don't use this tone to scare me! I, He Yuping, wasn't scared into growing up! Since the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government trust me and let me be in charge of Xijing's public security work, then I have the responsibility and obligation to wipe out these illegal and criminal activities, and I will never tolerate them. I don't care who they are or how powerful they are! The Son of Heaven breaks the law, and it is the same as the common people! Take them away!"

"He Yuping! You dare! If you dare to take me and Deputy Secretary Zhou and the others away like this today, I will make you look good! Changping, call Secretary Zhao of Xijing City! Tell him to find the Director of the Xijing Municipal Public Security Bureau for me!"

"Alright, Secretary Jin!" Li Changping nodded, glared fiercely at He Yuping, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed Secretary Zhao of the Xijing Municipal Party Committee.

It was already 11:00 at night, and Secretary Zhao had just fallen asleep when the phone on the bedside table rang with music. Secretary Zhao was "busy with ten thousand things a day" and was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down. However, his wife hadn't fallen asleep yet. Hearing his phone ring, she climbed out of the quilt, reached out to take the phone from the bedside table, and saw the name "Deputy Minister Li of the Organization Department" displayed on it, knowing it must be something important. She gently shook Secretary Zhao's shoulder and called out softly: "Old Zhao, phone, the phone is here." ===== CHAPTER 1733 =====

It was already eleven o'clock at night, and Secretary Zhao had just fallen asleep when the cell phone on his nightstand began to play music. Secretary Zhao was "busy with a thousand tasks a day" and was so exhausted that he slept like the dead the moment he lay down, but his wife was not yet asleep. Hearing his phone ring, she crawled out from under the covers, reached out to grab the phone from the nightstand, and took a look. Seeing the name "Deputy Minister Li of the Organization Department" displayed on the screen, she knew something must be up, so she gently shook Secretary Zhao's shoulder and whispered, "Old Zhao, the phone, the phone is ringing."
