Li Dakang's expression changed drastically, and his sharp gaze swept towards Lin Yunfei.
Well, they actually sent Chen Hai, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province, along with Lu Yike, the head of one of the divisions, to my office to arrest people.
Lin Yunfei said casually, "Chen Hai, where are the paperwork? Where's the arrest warrant? I need to see an arrest warrant personally signed by Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming."
Chen Hai's face stiffened, and he stammered, "Well, the paperwork is still being processed. We just received a report from the public that you live in the villa area of Jingzhou Dihao Garden."
Upon hearing this, Li Dakang frowned. Emperor Garden?
Why does this look so familiar? Isn't this the neighborhood where my wife, Ouyang Jing, lives?
Well, Lin Yunfei. You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have actually moved into a big villa.
Li Dakang turned his head and looked at Lin Yunfei with a meaningful gaze.
Lin Yunfei remained calm and took out his phone to call Governor Liu.
After a while, Liu Cheng's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yunfei, what can I do for you, Uncle?" Governor Liu asked with a kind and gentle smile.
Lin Yunfei made a startling statement: "Governor Liu, Chen Hai, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, and Lu Yike, the director of a division, want to arrest me, but they don't have the proper procedures."
"There was no arrest warrant signed by Ji Changming, the chief prosecutor of the provincial procuratorate."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hai's expression changed drastically. He never imagined that Lin Yunfei's political resource was actually Governor Liu.
Governor Liu is preparing to retire, but he hasn't retired yet.
Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng flew into a rage: "Nonsense! This is utter nonsense!"
Lin Yunfei: "They also said that I was suspected of accepting huge bribes."
Liu Cheng snapped out of his daze and made a quick decision: "Yunfei, give them the phone, I'll talk to Chen Hai."
"Director Chen, Governor Liu wants to speak with you."
Lin Yunfei stood up, walked over, and handed the phone to Chen Hai.
Chen Hai picked up the phone shakily, and a roar came through his ear: "Chen Hai! Are you bored or looking for trouble?"
Chen Hai quickly spoke up, trying to explain: "Governor Liu, please... let me explain, we really did receive reports from the public."
Liu Cheng roared angrily, "Chen Hai, you arrested a department-level official without an arrest warrant or proper procedures!"
"Is this how your father, Chen Yanshi, taught you?"
"Disorganized and undisciplined!" Governor Liu, his face full of indignation, gave Chen Hai a thorough dressing-down.
Chen Hai frowned deeply, barely daring to breathe. His face was filled with grievance.
Governor Liu pressed him aggressively: "Where's the evidence? Is there any solid evidence? Is this some kind of malicious framing?"
"Your provincial procuratorate's anti-corruption bureau has nothing to do all day long."
"Ding Yizhen served as the vice mayor of Jingzhou City for so many years, and the secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee embezzled a staggering 812 million yuan. Did your provincial procuratorate's anti-corruption bureau not notice anything at all?" Governor Liu began to question.
“When Ding Yizhen got into trouble, your anti-corruption bureau stepped forward and started fighting corruption.”
"Why didn't you do this earlier?" Governor Liu's voice suddenly rose as he roared.
Lu Yike felt incredibly heartbroken watching this scene.
However, she dared not face Governor Liu.
"Get back to the procuratorate right now. I think your provincial procuratorate really needs a thorough overhaul."
Chen Hai's Adam's apple bobbed, and he sighed, "Yes, Governor Liu. We'll call it a day immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Hai handed the phone to Lin Yunfei: "I'm sorry, Secretary Lin, we... made a mistake."
Upon seeing this, Li Dakang immediately realized that Governor Liu had made his move.
Li Dakang decided to step in and add insult to injury: "Chen Hai, what's wrong with your anti-corruption bureau? I must call Comrade Changming and have him give you a good talking-to."
. . . . . .
Handong Province, Procuratorate.
The prosecutor's office.
Jingle Bell! !
Ji Changming was sitting at the table when he heard the red landline ring. He quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Hello, this is Ji Changming."
Governor Liu's angry voice demanded, "Comrade Ji Changming, how have you managed the procuratorate?"
Ji Changming stared in disbelief, his mind blank: "???"
He knew that Governor Liu had come today to demand an explanation.
"Governor Liu, I...I'm not quite sure." Ji Changming bowed slightly, looking apprehensive.
Governor Liu was furious: "Your subordinates Chen Hai and Lu Yike dared to go to Li Dakang's office today and arrest Lin Yunfei, the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, without any procedures or arrest warrants."
"You prosecutors really have nothing better to do. You're just wasting your time."
"Before Ding Yizhen got into trouble, your anti-corruption bureau didn't find anything wrong with him. Now that Ding Yizhen has betrayed the country, you're jumping up to reap the benefits."
"That's just utter nonsense."
Upon hearing Governor Liu's angry rebuke, Ji Changming's forehead broke out in a fine sweat. He quickly explained, "Governor Liu, there may be some misunderstanding. I will definitely investigate thoroughly and give you a satisfactory answer."
Governor Liu snorted coldly: "Misunderstanding? I expect you to give me a reasonable explanation as soon as possible. Also, your anti-corruption bureau's working methods need to be thoroughly rectified."
"We can't keep arresting people arbitrarily without any evidence; it damages the image of our government."
Ji Changming nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, Governor Liu, you are right. I will definitely reflect on this seriously, strengthen team management, and ensure that similar things do not happen again in the future."
Governor Liu pondered for a moment, then softened his tone slightly: "Alright, go and handle it first. Remember, our government's work is to serve the people, not to be constantly troubled by these framing schemes."
"Chen Hai is no longer suitable to serve as the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Suspend him from his duties and let him reflect on his actions." After saying this, Governor Liu hung up the phone without hesitation.
Ji Changming breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Yes, Governor Liu. I'll take care of it right away."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Changming sat at his desk and fell into deep thought.
He knew that this incident had left a bad impression on Governor Liu, and he had to take action as soon as possible to salvage the situation.
So Ji Changming picked up the phone and began to arrange how to deal with Chen Hai and Lu Yike.
"Chen Hai, how dare you! You arrest people without any real evidence."
Chen Hai looked dejected: "Chief Prosecutor Ji, we really did receive a letter of complaint from the public."
Ji Changming made a startling statement, cutting to the chase: "The Handong Provincial Committee has now made the following decision. Chen Hai is suspended from his duties for self-reflection. He will no longer serve as the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate."
Chen Hai was completely dumbfounded: "???"
41. Lu Yike's background and Lin Yunfei's legitimate income.
41. Lu Yike's background and Lin Yunfei's legitimate income.
Chen Hai hung up the phone in a daze, muttering to himself, "I've been suspended, I've been... suspended."
Lu Yike was furious when she learned that Chen Hai had been suspended from his duties pending investigation.
"This is absolutely outrageous."
"Chen Hai. I'm going to find Lao Ji." Lu Yike, with her temperament, already liked Chen Hai and wanted to marry him to be Xiao Piqiu's stepmother.
. . . . .
Provincial Procuratorate, Chief Procurator's Office.
Lu Yike barged in without even knocking: "Old Ji, you've gone too far! Why are you suspending Chen Hai?"
Ji Changming's eyebrows furrowed tightly. His face showed displeasure: "Lu Yike, I'm, after all, your boss's boss."
"Your mother, Judge Wu, didn't she teach you to knock before entering a leader's office?"
Lu Yike paused for a moment, then turned around and stepped back. Standing outside the office door, she knocked: "Chief Prosecutor Ji, I need to speak with you."
Ji Changming sighed, his voice steady and powerful. He felt that his subordinates were all people with powerful connections.
Chen Hai graduated from the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University. He was Gao Yuliang's favorite student.
Lu Yike's mother is a retired judge from the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court, and her father is the chief of staff of the Handong Military Region.
Most importantly, Lu Yike's uncle is Gao Yuliang, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.
"Old Ji, give me an explanation. What did Chen Hai do wrong?"
Lu Yike walked in, somewhat agitated: "We have indeed found out that Lin Yunfei, the Party Secretary of Guangming District, lives in Jingzhou Dihao Garden."
"Old Ji. That's the most luxurious and upscale villa area in Jingzhou City."
"His salary is over 14,000 per month."
"It's simply impossible to afford a villa in Emperor Garden," Lu Yike shouted hoarsely as she questioned Ji Changming.
Ji Changming remained expressionless and said calmly, "Lin Yunfei is not only the district party secretary, but also the director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau."
"Two jobs, two salaries." Ji Changming held up his right index and middle fingers.
"Besides, he has parents. And his wife."
"People pool their money to make a down payment. They'll pay off the loan slowly."
Lu Yike was so angry she laughed: "Old Ji. Down payment? Loan?"
"Don't you know that leading cadres don't need to buy houses at all? They can enjoy free housing policies."
“Ministerial level officials are entitled to 220 square meters of housing, vice-ministerial level officials are entitled to 190 square meters of housing, municipal (department) level officials are entitled to 140 square meters of housing, and county (division) level officials are entitled to 100 square meters of housing.”
Lu Yike analyzed clearly and calmly: "According to Lin Yunfei's rank, he is entitled to a housing allowance of 140 square meters."
"He had a free house but went to live in a villa. If this isn't corruption, what is it?"
Ji Changming was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Lu Yike, of course I know all that you're saying."
