Chapter 42: Flames of Revenge (2)

  This is a simple yet majestic courtyard in the heart of Yanjing City. Outside, four armed soldiers stand guard at the entrance, their stern eyes watching everyone who approaches the compound. Those familiar with this place know that it's home to super-elite individuals, any one of whom can shake the entire nation of Huaxia with just a stomp of their foot.

  Inside the big yard, under the shade of green trees, a simple and elegant two-story small building is revealed.

  In the small building, an amiable old man was answering the phone.

  The phone call was made by Shadow. Shadow reported everything that had happened to Liu Fei recently, in great detail, to the old man. The old man's face remained calm at first, even when he heard that Liu Fei had a very good relationship with the three major ministers and had met the daughter of the Henan Provincial Party Committee Secretary, without showing any joy or excitement, as if these were nothing special. Even when he heard that Liu Fei was framed by his leader and demoted to a small police station in a district, he didn't show any reaction. However, when he heard that Liu Fei was seriously injured and hospitalized after saving someone, his eyebrows furrowed.

  At this time, the bodyguard standing not far from him saw the old man frowning and immediately became tense. He had been following the old man for over a decade and was very familiar with his expressions. The leader's ability to remain calm was unparalleled, even if Mount Tai were to collapse in front of him, he wouldn't bat an eyelid. However, when he did frown, it was always a sign that he was extremely angry, and soon after, there would be a major earthquake in the officialdom somewhere, accompanied by a batch of corrupt officials falling from power. Was there another massive corruption case happening somewhere? Otherwise, why did the leader's face look so gloomy?

  The guard found that the leader's face became increasingly stern, and a kind of invisible majesty was emanating from him. This is official prestige.

  The old man listened to the shadow's report, his right hand originally holding a teacup suddenly lifted up and threw the teacup out, shouting: "This is too outrageous! These people are really too outrageous! They robbed the weak woman of her property in front, demolished people's houses behind, and after smashing someone, they immediately withdrew. This is simply murder! It's really too arrogant! Do they still have any law in their eyes? What is the South Ping City Discipline Inspection Commission doing? They actually questioned a seriously ill patient, and even took measures against him! Are they officials or bandits? How did Xu Guangchun, the provincial party secretary, do his job? Is my grandson so easy to bully? My grandson was bullied by these small roles, it's really unreasonable! Unreasonable!" Saying this, the old man turned his head to the security guard and said: "Little Zhang, get me the phone number of Xu Guangchun, the provincial party secretary of Hubei Province!"

  "Alright!" Little Zhang immediately walked towards the table and started dialing the phone number. The old man hung up Shadow's call and walked towards Little Zhang.

  At this time, the phone was connected, and Xiaozhang handed the phone over to the old man.

  On the other end of the phone, Xu Guangchun, Secretary of the Henan Provincial Committee, became tense as soon as he saw the phone number displayed on the LCD screen. He stood up from his seat, slightly bowed his body, and carefully said: "Hello, Chief."

  The old man picked up the phone and said in a low voice: "Xiao Xu, you've been doing well lately!"

  Upon hearing this inexplicable sentence, Xu Guangchun's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat. He had picked up on the dissatisfaction in his superior's tone and his mind quickly sprang into action, racking his brain over recent events, but couldn't think of anything he'd done wrong. So he respectfully replied: "The achievements I've made were all under your guidance, sir. Please instruct me."

  Upon hearing Xu Guangchun's response, the old man knew that he probably didn't know about this matter. After a moment of silence, he said: "I recently heard that some personnel from the Nanping Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection have been very active and have taken measures against a hospitalized patient."

  Xu Guangchun's heart skipped a beat, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief while answering: "Sorry, leader, this is our dereliction of duty. Please rest assured that I will thoroughly investigate this matter afterwards."

  After the old man hung up the phone, Xu Guangchun began to ponder who would have done such a thing and reported it to the leadership. After thinking for a while without any leads, he called his secretary Hu Gua to come in.

  Hugua, a man in his 40s with a medium build and glasses, looked refined and courteous as the deputy secretary: "Hugua, investigate for me who from the Nanping Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection recently interrogated patients at the hospital."

  "Hmm, alright, Secretary Xu, I'll go investigate right away."

  Twenty minutes later, Hu Gua knocked on the door and came in to report to Xu Guangchun: "Secretary Xu, this matter was handled by Dong Lu, a deputy director of the Nanping Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. The person being executed is Liu Fei, a police officer from Yu Hua District."

  "Liu Fei?" Xu Guangchun seemed to feel that this name was familiar, but couldn't think of it for the time being, and then asked: "Does the Nanping Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection know about this matter?" Xu Guangchun asked.

  Huang Guagua smiled and replied: "I asked Shen, secretary of the Nanping Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, about this matter. He was completely unaware of it. According to him, this was a private action taken by Dong Lu from below, and even Dong's leader, Director Qian, did not know about it."

  Xu Guangchun nodded, and the cucumber automatically retreated.

  Xu Guangchun began to think: "Liu Fei, why is this name so familiar?" His gaze fell on the computer screen in front of him, and at that moment, a striking headline on the Sohu homepage caught his eye: "Nanping City Police Liu Fei buys 3.8 million luxury necklace for girlfriend!"

  Xu Guangchun opened the link and entered the topic page, only to see a picture that shocked him. The picture showed his daughter Xu Jiaojiao happily closing her eyes, while the young man who had once visited his home and vomited on him was putting a string of sparkling pearl necklace around his daughter's neck. Xu Guangchun couldn't help but frown, it turned out to be him!

  Xu Guangchun finished reading the news in one breath and began to think: "If I'm not mistaken, the person being investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission should be this young man Liu Fei. Although he's handsome and has won over my daughter's heart, according to what she told me, his family background is ordinary, which is also why I've always disapproved of her relationship with him. But why did this young man get injured and hospitalized? And why is he being investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission? Also, where did this photo come from? Where did the 3.8 million yuan for the necklace he bought my daughter come from? Why would the leader personally ask about this matter?" All these questions flashed through Xu Guangchun's mind, but he knew very little about the situation. Looking at the photo made him think of his daughter, so he dialed her phone number, Xu Jiaojiao.

  In the ward, Liu Fei's bedside, Liu Dong, Xu Zhe, Xiao Qiang, Xie Yuxin and others were chatting with Liu Fei. Suddenly, Liu Fei's mobile phone rang, and the room fell silent. Seeing that it was Shadow's number, a cold smile appeared on Liu Fei's mouth.

  "Liu Fei, the matter has been investigated and all the materials have been sent to your email." Shadow said before hanging up the phone.

  Liu Fei nodded, very satisfied with the shadow's reaction, and then picked up the phone again to dial a number: "Hong Ke, all the materials are in my email, start acting immediately."

  Liu Pang and others asked in succession: "Boss, what's the plan?"

  Liu Fei gave a mysterious and profound smile: "Heh heh, tomorrow you'll know, I'm going to expose these conscienceless guys under the sun! Hmph, dare to fight with me? You won't be spared!"
