Chapter 91 Deployment
"Thank you for your hard work. Keep an eye on Hou Liangping's movements."
Xia Qing made the arrangements over the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei, sitting opposite him, asked in confusion:
"Minister, why make things so complicated, and even reveal Bozhong Real Estate Agency to Hou Liangping? Aren't we waiting for them to relocate before making our move?"
"Tongwei, your junior brother is quite the swordsman," Xia Qing explained.
"For so long, we've only conducted peripheral investigations of the brokerage firm, but we've never actually gone inside, have we? The situation inside is still unclear, and we need someone to help us find out the truth."
Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei's pupils widened even further:
You mean...
Xia Qing made the decision:
"Think about it. The brokerage firm thought we had dropped the investigation under pressure, and they had already lowered their guard. But if Hou Liangping leads the anti-corruption bureau into the brokerage firm, they'll become like frightened birds, thinking that Handong is ultimately not safe enough, and they'll immediately move the list transfer forward. At that point, if you lead your men out, there's a very high chance you'll catch them all in one fell swoop!"
Qi Tongwei nodded and said:
"That makes sense. Then let's wait for Hou Liangping to make his move, and then we'll follow suit."
Xia Qing rubbed her chin.
It seems we've secured the Bozhong Real Estate Agency.
It'll be in the next few days!
……
The situation was exactly as Xia Qing had predicted.
However, Hou Liangping acted earlier than Xia Qing had anticipated.
That afternoon, Xia Qing received a call from Chen Hai in her office!
Hou Liangping has already led the Anti-Corruption Bureau's personnel to Bozhong Real Estate Agency!
After listening, Xia Qing immediately gave instructions.
Qi Tongwei was instructed to lead police officers from the Public Security Bureau to the perimeter of Bozhong Real Estate Agency at a rapid pace.
Once Hou Liangping entered the company, he immediately took action and seized control of the brokerage firm.
Chen Haixian followed the anti-corruption bureau's convoy, reporting to Xia Qing at any time.
Upon arrival, I met up with Qi Tongwei and we entered together.
Xia Qing personally notified the National Security Department to take joint action.
The investigation into officials with family members residing abroad led to the discovery of foreign forces, which in turn led to the identification of Du Bozhong, the middleman connecting officials with family members residing abroad. Ultimately, the decision was made to first take down the middleman's company based in Handong.
This is a special project.
It was time to close the net.
Upon receiving the order, Qi Tongwei immediately mobilized police forces and headed to Bozhong Real Estate Agency.
Qi Tongwei attached great importance to this operation because the opponent had ties to foreign forces.
There is even a very high probability that they are involved in organized crime!
In that case, the Public Security Bureau wouldn't be dealing with a bunch of salespeople from intermediary companies.
Rather, they are likely to be heavily armed desperados!
For this reason, Qi Tongwei specially brought special police officers with him.
This also demonstrates my determination to Xia Qing and the province.
Chen Hai followed the anti-corruption bureau's car all the way to their destination.
He didn't get out of the car, but parked it some distance away and used binoculars to observe the Anti-Corruption Bureau's every move.
Hou Liangping got off the bus.
Lu Yike and Zhou Zheng followed behind.
It was obvious that the reception staff of Bozhong Intermediary Company were very surprised by the arrival of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.
In their view, the termination of the special investigation meant that the investigation into them had been abandoned.
What does it mean that the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate has brought people here now?
Through his binoculars, Chen Hai saw that the agency had arranged for people to receive Hou Liangping, while others were rushing upstairs.
It seems they went to report it.
Chen Hai immediately called Qi Tongwei to inform him of the latter's location, and after obtaining the latter's location, he started his car and headed to meet him.
Meanwhile, Hou Liangping was blocked at the entrance of the real estate agency.
The manager of the brokerage firm believes that the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Prosecutor's Office has no right to investigate private enterprises.
Hou Liangping's reason was that he suspected the company was connected with corrupt officials in Handong, and he came here specifically to look for clues.
This gave the anti-corruption bureau a reason to intervene.
The manager remained calm, gave his subordinates a few instructions, then put on a smile and invited Hou Liangping to come upstairs and sit down.
But Hou Liangping didn't notice that in the rooms upstairs, the people from the brokerage company had menacing looks on their faces, took out guns and knives from wooden boxes, and were closely watching Hou Liangping and his entourage's every move through the surveillance cameras.
Behind this group of people were large and small bags filled with packed documents.
They were preparing to move when the prosecutor's office caught them off guard.
They became completely terrified.
Hou Liangping believed that this was just a small private enterprise profiting from officials who had emigrated abroad.
He forgot that anyone who dares to involve foreign forces is prepared to risk their life for money.
Faced with the sudden attack from the prosecutor's office, this group of vicious criminals finally dropped their pretense.
They couldn't sit still any longer.
If the anti-corruption bureau takes action, they are prepared to fight to the death.
Hou Liangping was unaware that he was in danger.
He followed the manager toward the reception room. Years of investigative experience told him that there was something wrong with this building.
When Hou Liangping looked up, he saw a dense array of surveillance cameras and several tightly locked doors.
He immediately realized something was wrong.
Hou Liangping stopped and stopped walking.
The manager paused, then forced a smile and said:
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Hou Liangping did not respond, but pointed to a locked door and said:
"Open it and take a look."
I heard about Hou Liangping's request.
The smile froze on the manager's face.
He doesn't want to go that far if he can.
But behind the door were the files of officials whose families had emigrated abroad, documents detailing their connections with foreign forces, bank cards, and cash being packed and transferred.
Once exposed, it will be a catastrophic disaster.
The manager's lips twitched as he forced an extremely awkward smile and said:
"Boss, isn't this... inappropriate?"
"I said, open it!"
Hou Liangping was absolutely certain that there was something wrong behind the door, and he roared in an unquestionable tone.
The manager turned his head and gestured with his lip to his subordinate beside him.
The subordinate walked to the side and said something into the walkie-talkie.
The entire brokerage firm immediately fell into a tense standoff.
We're just waiting for that door to open.
Then a fierce battle would begin.
"Can't you hear me? I said, open it!"
Hou Liangping emphasized it again.
The manager, with a gloomy face, nodded vigorously and walked to the door.
A password was entered into the machine on the wall.
The door slowly opened.
Lu Yike had already sensed that something was wrong, and she used hand gestures to notify her teammates to spread out.
He himself gripped the pistol at his waist.
Seeing that the door was open, Hou Liangping couldn't wait to go forward and find out what was going on.
The manager also reached to his waist and grasped a dagger.
We're just waiting for the moment Hou Liangping sees what's inside the room!
Hou Liangping slowly looked into the room through the door.
In an instant.
Total darkness.
The entire real estate agency suddenly lost power.
Immediately following were the sounds of footsteps and breaking windows.
And "Don't move!"
In the darkness, the real estate agency manager, his men, and even the thugs lurking on each floor were swiftly subdued by the provincial public security bureau.
Qi Tongwei, who had been observing the situation from the outside using drones, chose the most precise moment to order the entire team to move out.
Power outage, surprise attack, take control of the area.
All in one go!
Police officers from the Public Security Bureau have taken control of every floor.
Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai, wearing bulletproof vests, also rushed into the building.
When they saw the many rooms filled with bags of documents, cash, and controlled knives and firearms.
The two exchanged a glance and nodded.
Now, there's no need to worry about having a legitimate reason for attacking.
Minister Xia's judgment was indeed correct!
Meanwhile, special police officers carrying tactical goggles protected Lu Yike and the other anti-corruption bureau personnel in the darkness.
But under Qi Tongwei's instructions, Hou Liangping was not so lucky.
Once the power was restored, Hou Liangping saw...
The police have taken control of the entire real estate agency!
He was being held by two policemen, one on each side.
Hou Liangping was startled and roared:
"Which public security department are you from? Provincial or municipal? I'm warning you, I'm Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau! For the provincial department, I'm looking for Qi Tongwei; for the municipal department, I'm looking for Zhao Donglai!"
