Official excuse: I was sent to work at the grassroots level for training, and Hou Liangping arrested

Wang Zheng had a sudden inspiration and lied: "Besides, we are learning a foreign language."

Lin Yunfei sneered, his eyes filled with disdain: "Learn a foreign language? Vice Governor Wang, please explain to me the situation of these women."

"Or are they all foreign language teachers?"

Wang Zheng nodded and answered matter-of-factly, "Yes, that won't do. They call me Russian and English."

Lin Yunfei sneered repeatedly, took out a pair of silver handcuffs from his pocket, and forcibly put them on Wang Zheng's wrists.

Because he already knew this from Zhao Anbang. Wang Zheng went to report to Sha Ruijin.

In official circles, reporting on one's work is equivalent to taking sides.

Sha Ruijin's people actually dared to come here to learn a foreign language just because he's the executive vice governor. We had no choice but to arrest them.

“Vice Governor Wang, PC is PC. You’ve violated the Public Security Administration Punishment Law. Come with us.” Lin Yunfei’s tone was firm, and he pulled Wang Zheng with his right hand.

Wang Zheng struggled, his face ashen, but he couldn't break free of the handcuffs. The women around him looked terrified, all lowering their heads, unable to look him in the eye.

"Take all these women back to the Public Security Bureau. Interrogate them separately."

"Check if they are prostitutes?"

Lin Yunfei turned his head and looked at the criminal police officer.

"Yes, Director Lin." The detective's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out his handcuffs.

Lin Yunfei's sharp eyes swept across the private room, and he had already made up his mind. He knew that this operation was not only a major crackdown on entertainment venues in Jingzhou City, but also a powerful deterrent against corruption in officialdom.

He turned to Wang Zheng again, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority: "Vice Governor Wang, your actions have violated the law. We hope you will cooperate with our investigation."

Wang Zheng had completely lost his former arrogance. His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear and resentment. He tried to argue again: "Lin Yunfei, you've misunderstood. I really am learning a foreign language."

"I and these women are all innocent."

"It's all their fault. They wanted to seduce me and hunt me down."

Lin Yunfei remained unmoved, coldly staring at Wang Zheng: "Vice Governor Wang, your sophistry is meaningless. We found several women at the scene. Who are they? What are you doing here? You need to give us a reasonable explanation for these questions."

Wang Zheng's lips trembled, and he was momentarily speechless. He knew that no matter how he tried to argue, he couldn't change the facts. Lin Yunfei's eyes revealed an undeniable determination; he understood that this time, he had truly lost.

Lin Yunfei gave the order again, walking down the nightclub's corridor: "Take them away!"

. . . . .

Lin Yunfei waved his hand, signaling the police officers to take Wang Zheng and all the women away. Seeing this, the other guests in the private room fell silent, not daring to make a move.

As Wang Zheng and his accomplices were taken away, the noise inside the Green Vine Nightclub gradually subsided. Police officers continued their search of the nightclub to ensure no suspicious individuals were missed.

Lin Yunfei stood in the center of the nightclub's lobby, his gaze firm and sharp. He knew full well that this operation was just the beginning.

The night was still deep, but the night in Jingzhou was no longer peaceful.

. . . . .

The news quickly reached the desk of Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin.

Secretary Bai, with a serious expression, gently placed a document in front of Sha Ruijin: "Secretary Sha, this is a report that just came from the Provincial Public Security Department."

"Director Lin, a sudden crackdown on organized crime has been launched. At the Green Vine Nightclub, Executive Vice Governor Wang Zheng... was found studying a foreign language." Secretary Bai paused carefully at this point.

Sha Ruijin frowned, his gaze sweeping over every word in the document: "Learn a foreign language? You want to learn it in a nightclub?"

Sha Ruijin snorted coldly, his tone stern: "How can you come up with such an excuse? Immediately notify the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to launch a full investigation and get to the bottom of this."

Secretary Bai nodded quickly, then turned and left.

Damn it, Wang Zheng actually caused this scandal at a time like this.

Sha Ruijin's face turned extremely ugly. A member of the provincial standing committee and executive vice governor was going to a nightclub to learn a foreign language.

134. Wang Zheng reported and exposed that Gao Mingyuan was a gang leader.

The interrogation room of the Provincial Public Security Bureau was brightly lit.

Two cameras were pointed at Wang Zheng, the executive vice governor.

Lin Yunfei, dressed in a police uniform, sat beside his wife, Zhao Lan. The two of them were personally interrogating Wang Zheng.

Lin Yunfei proudly introduced, pointing to Zhao Lan: "Vice Governor Wang, don't be complacent. Let me formally introduce you, this is Zhao Lan, the First Secretary of the State Security Department of Handong Province."

Zhao Lan's expression was cold as she said indifferently, "Wang Zheng, you, a dignified executive vice governor, actually went to the Green Vine Nightclub for PC."

Executive Vice Governor Wang Zheng, with handcuffs on his wrists, argued, "I'm not a PC, I'm learning a foreign language."

"You don't have an arrest warrant, you can't arrest me, release me immediately."

Zhao Lan raised her right index finger, pointing it at Wang Zheng, her expression sharp: "Still trying to resist the organization's investigation? Wang Zheng, don't have any illusions. Our Handong Provincial State Security Department has already taken over your case."

"The national security investigators have now obtained a search warrant to search your residence and investigate your bank statements."

Lin Yunfei slammed his right hand on the table and snapped, "Wang Zheng, we're giving you a chance to earn a reduced sentence through meritorious service."

"If a public official goes to a nightclub for sex and gets caught by the police, that's considered a serious violation of discipline."

"If our investigation reveals that your account contains funds of unknown origin... then that becomes illegal, a crime of possessing a huge amount of unexplained wealth." Lin Yunfei sneered repeatedly as he slowly stood up.

Wang Zheng closed his eyes and remained silent, his heart filled with unease.

...

The atmosphere in the interrogation room grew increasingly tense.

Zhao Lan stood up and slowly paced around Wang Zheng.

"Wang Zheng, do you think Gao Mingyuan can escape? He's in dire straits himself right now," Zhao Lan began to bluff him.

Wang Zheng opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Lan, and a hint of fear and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"How...how do you know Gao Mingyuan?"

Zhao Lan smirked coldly: "Gao Mingyuan is suspected of multiple illegal and criminal activities and has been placed under surveillance by our National Security Bureau."

"Murder, kidnapping, bribery, extortion, and organized crime."

Zhao Lan bent down, her gaze sharp, and uttered a startling statement: "So many crimes, enough to sentence Gao Mingyuan to death."

The death penalty? Impossible, that won't happen.

Gao Mingyuan is now a frequent guest of Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin.

Wang Zheng's face turned deathly pale instantly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He asked in a trembling voice, "You...you're telling the truth?"

Zhao Lan straightened up, her eyes piercing: "Why do you think we found you? It was Gao Mingyuan who gave himself away."

Lin Yunfei added from the side, "Gao Mingyuan thought his methods were clever enough to deceive everyone, but he forgot that the net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it."

Wang Zheng lowered his head and remained silent, seemingly engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Seeing this, Zhao Lan continued to apply pressure: "Wang Zheng, your only chance now is to cooperate with our investigation and tell us everything you know."

“Report things we don’t know. That way, when you’re handed over to the court, you can get a reduced sentence for good faith,” Zhao Lan said slowly, her expression very serious.

“Only in this way can we uncover Gao Mingyuan’s true colors and give the victims justice,” Lin Yunfei said, offering timely advice.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was heavy and tense, and Wang Zheng's every breath seemed particularly heavy.

Finally, after a fierce internal struggle, Wang Zheng slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a resolute light: "Fine, I'll talk. I'll tell you everything I know about Gao Mingyuan."

Lin Yunfei and Zhao Lan exchanged a glance, their faces showing excitement.

Wang Zheng spoke slowly, his lips slightly parted: "Gao Mingyuan is practically a local tyrant in Green Vine City. As far as I know, he has bribed many officials."

"Name? Rank?" Lin Yunfei quickly picked up a pen, ready to write it down.

Wang Zheng's expression was serious, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Wu Shuangling, the executive vice mayor of Lvteng City, and He Yun, the executive vice director of the Lvteng City Public Security Bureau. Both of them have been bribed by Gao Mingyuan."

"Among them, He Yun also gave birth to a son for Gao Mingyuan, named Gao He."

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing a huge uproar.

Zhao Lan stared in disbelief, unable to believe her ears: "What did you say? He Yun, the deputy director of the Green Vine City Public Security Bureau... gave birth to a son for Gao Mingyuan?"

Lin Yunfei seemed thoughtful, but didn't seem surprised. He picked up his pen to take notes: "To be more specific, where is Gao He now?"

Wang Zheng uttered a startling statement, his expression grave: "Gao He is dead."

Lin Yunfei snorted coldly: "Dead? We will investigate."

"Go on, since Gao Mingyuan is involved in organized crime, are you Gao Mingyuan's protector?"

"Yes, that's right. I am Gao Mingyuan's biggest protector." Wang Zheng nodded, completely resigned to his fate. He wanted to report and expose the culprits in order to get a reduced sentence.

Zhao Lan snapped out of her daze and sat back down in her seat: "So, did Gao Mingyuan give you money? A house? Bribe you?"

Wang Zheng nodded, then made a startling statement: "Yes. Over the past few years, Changteng Capital has transferred 500 million yuan to my overseas account."

Zhao Lan and Lin Yunfei were both taken aback when they heard this.

Five hundred million? That's no small sum.

Wang Zheng continued, "In order to win me over, Gao Mingyuan not only gave me money and houses, but also beautiful women."

“Gao Mingyuan’s canary, Mai Jia.”

"He thought that by doing this, he could turn me into his puppet and use me for his own purposes." Wang Zheng's face showed regret, and his voice trembled.

Zhao Lan and Lin Yunfei exchanged a glance, already having made up their minds.

They knew that this case was far-reaching and had to be handled with caution.

"Wang Zheng, hand over all these transfer records, as well as the evidence that Gao Mingyuan gave you money and a house," Zhao Lan said sternly.

Wang Zheng nodded, indicating his willingness to cooperate.

Lin Yunfei then contacted his subordinates at the National Security Bureau, instructing them to investigate Wang Zheng's overseas accounts as soon as possible.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room remained heavy.

Under the relentless interrogation of Zhao Lan and Lin Yunfei, Wang Zheng finally broke down completely and confessed to all of Gao Mingyuan's crimes that he knew.

This major corruption case, which shocked the entire province, has finally revealed only the tip of the iceberg.

Years ago, Gao Mingyuan secretly instructed Dong Yao and Chen Jianbo to murder quality inspector Mai Zili and bury his body.
