Chapter 106: Breaking Ground on the Head of Tai Sui!

~8 min read 1,482 words

These two gray industries are Huo Jiansheng's "money-printing machines"!

Which blind bastard dares to break ground on the head of Tai Sui!

Huo Jiansheng's thumbs tapped on his phone screen as fast as flying.

His first reaction was to find Director of the County Public Security Bureau Qiao Liang to probe the situation.

Before the call could go through, the doorbell rang abruptly.

His wife Gao Ping peeked through the peephole, and her pupils instantly constricted!

Three police cars were blocking the courtyard.

The flashing police lights tore the night into shreds.

"Did you get into trouble outside?" Gao Ping had been sleeping poorly lately and always felt something was going to happen.

"Fart! What kind of trouble could I get into? Don't panic. Open the door! I want to see what they want to do!"

Huo Jiansheng was also fierce on the outside but cowardly on the inside at this moment, forcing himself to appear calm.

The gate swung open, and Wan Ming led his men in aggressively.

Seeing Huo Jiansheng, his eyes lit up; this brat hadn't hidden away, which saved a lot of effort!

Wan Ming shook the arrest warrant in his hand.

"Huo Jiansheng, Jinding Hui-suo is suspected of organizing prostitution, and Bihai Yuntian has been involved in mass gambling; you are now being arrested in accordance with the law. Please cooperate."

"Director Wan, there must be a misunderstanding..." Huo Jiansheng was wary of Wan Ming and said cautiously, "Can we step aside to talk?"

Wan Ming wouldn't give Huo Jiansheng a pleasant look and waved his hand heavily, "Take him away!"

Two subordinates pinned Huo Jiansheng down and put silver handcuffs on him.

Gao Ping watched her husband being shoved into the police car, trembling all over with fear. It wasn't until the sound of the siren tore through the night sky that she realized only her uncle could save her husband now!

"Uncle, Jiansheng has been taken away..."

Old Secretary had developed the habit of going to bed early and rising early after retirement.

At this moment, his sleepiness vanished completely.

"I told you long ago that if you wear black gloves for too long, they will fuse into your skin and flesh."

"Uncle, for the sake of him always being very filial, please help me inquire about what exactly happened."

Old Secretary felt the matter was suspicious and wondered to himself if it was aimed at him?

He had already retired to the second line; did Du Chengfeng want to take action against him after toppling Wei Jian? That would be too ruthless, wouldn't it?

He felt a vague sense of unease.

"Wait for my news, don't lose your composure first!"

Old Secretary dialed Qiao Liang's number.

Qiao Liang was completely bewildered; Wan Ming hadn't leaked a single word to him about tonight's operation beforehand.

"Old Secretary, let me look into the situation first!"

"I hope you can do me a favor. If it's not too serious an error, please deal with it leniently! Jiansheng has made contributions to Tianling County. You can't erase his merits just because I've retired."

Qiao Liang dialed Wan Ming's number and criticized him unceremoniously: "Comrade Wan Ming, you launched a sudden operation tonight with such a massive display; shouldn't you show me some respect? In your eyes, am I just a decoration?"

The reason Qiao Liang was angry was that Wan Ming had challenged his authority more than once.

"Director Qiao, I was just about to report to you. Tonight was supposed to be a routine inspection, but we discovered that a hotel had mass gambling, and another club had prostitution. Following the clues, we found it all related to Huo Jiansheng. So, we proceeded with the arrest of Huo Jiansheng. We have both human and physical evidence.

Please rest assured, Director Qiao, if the higher-ups blame you, you can push it onto me.

Also, Secretary Cheng Feng knows about this; I reported it to him. The arrest warrant was also approved after communicating with Director Zhu, so there are no procedural issues!"

Qiao Liang was so angry his face turned livid.

Wan Ming had bypassed his authority to handle the case, yet he had no means to restrain him.

Wan Ming had been promoted by Du Chengfeng and had now become a sharp blade in the hands of the County Party Secretary.

The more Qiao Liang thought about it, the more he felt the matter wasn't simple.

Consequently, he contacted the "Shadow" he had planted beside Wan Ming.

The "Shadow" told Qiao Liang: The fuse for tonight's operation was related to an assault case at the City People's Hospital...

After hearing the whole story, Qiao Liang was speechless.

He thought to himself, this guy Huo Jiansheng really brought this upon himself!

He immediately contacted his old superior:

"I've found out clearly. This afternoon, Huo Jiansheng assaulted a surgeon named Tang Yu at the City People's Hospital. This surgeon is a famous Neurosurgery Expert in Hanzhou. His son is named Tang Ye, who is a sworn brother of Wan Ming."

Old Secretary gasped, "Tang Ye, why does that name sound so familiar? Is that the brat who brought Wei Jian down?"

"That's right. Huo Jiansheng hit Tang Ye's own father; I'm afraid this will be hard to resolve."

Old Secretary gradually calmed down.

"The bastard, he asked for it! Thank you for your hard work."

Old Secretary simply didn't return his niece's call.

Gao Ping waited anxiously and called her uncle, only to find no one answered.

Consequently, her heart turned cold!

It was obvious. Her uncle didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

The trouble her husband had caused was too big!

In the Interrogation Room.

Huo Jiansheng was still putting on airs.

"I will only answer questions once my Lawyer arrives."

Wan Ming smiled and gave instructions to his subordinates.

"Give him his phone and let him contact his Lawyer."

Lawyer Cao was having a meal with a female client when he received a call from Huo Jiansheng; full of complaints, he hurried to the County Public Security Bureau.

Lawyer Cao first arrived at Wan Ming's office.

Unexpectedly, he saw Tang Ye and Wan Ming sitting face to face.

"You have really gone to great lengths for your father's affairs, even alarming Bureau Chief Wan."

"I want to clarify something with you: one thing is one thing, and this has nothing to do with my father's affairs," Tang Ye said with a faint smile. "I wonder if the all-powerful Lawyer Cao has any way to successfully bail out Huo Jiansheng this time."

Lawyer Cao suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

It was no surprise that Huo Jiansheng's arrest was connected to Tang Ye.

That Tang Ye could make Wan Ming arrest someone was chilling.

Lawyer Cao shed his previous cold arrogance and said with fawning words, "As a mere Lawyer, how could I possibly have the ability to challenge the authority of the law? My job duty is to provide legal decisions for clients and help clients engage in business activities within the legal framework."

Wan Ming hated sycophants the most. "Go to the Interrogation Room, let's have a good chat!"

How could Lawyer Cao not see the situation clearly?

The other party was definitely prepared!

The possibility of successfully bailing out Huo Jiansheng was not high.

Inside the Interrogation Room.

Tang Ye sat beside Wan Ming.

Lawyer Cao wondered to himself what Tang Ye's background actually was.

Why would Deputy Bureau Chief Wan Ming act so obediently toward Tang Ye?

"I wonder which legal statute my client has violated?"

Tang Ye gave Wan Ming a look.

Wan Ming took out a document. "This is the evidence we have collected recently. Since 1996, Huo Jiansheng has illegally controlled sex workers as tools for accumulating wealth, with the number reaching over three hundred people. In addition, the demolition company he operates is suspected of multiple violent acts, and at the time, these cases were all handled by you..."

Lawyer Cao's expression shifted from contempt to shock, and finally to fear.

The other party was going for the kill!

They had directly pulled up a list of all the problems Huo Jiansheng had committed in the past!

In the past, Secretary Gao had blocked things, but now Secretary Gao had already stepped back to the second line.

He calculated rapidly in his mind...

Huo Jiansheng definitely could not be fished out.

If things went poorly!

It would be a buy-one-get-one-free deal!

He would be implicated and dragged in himself.

Therefore, the best thing to do right now was to cooperate with the investigation...

Tang Ye actually saw through Lawyer Cao's true nature.

This guy was just a person who would trim his sails to the wind.

Therefore, he suggested that Wan Ming make an issue of Lawyer Cao to find a breakthrough to nail Huo Jiansheng!
