"Brother, what else could I be busy with? Just the usual stuff. Thanks to your reminder yesterday, I reported those people to the higher-ups and did a small favor. By the way, brother, what brings you here?"

Yan Liang's voice was filled with undisguised gratitude and excitement. Being able to successfully report violators and make contributions in his work was undoubtedly a great honor for him, and his future seemed to have become brighter as a result.

Chu Kuo leaned forward, his elbows resting firmly on his knees, and put on a seemingly nonchalant expression: "Hey, I heard something today that's really outrageous."

He deliberately dragged out his words, his eyes darting around like a cunning fox, scanning the people around him. Then, he suddenly raised his voice, feigning shock, and said, "Guo Guanghua, that steel factory director, who usually seems respectable and proper, actually has Qing Dynasty antiques hidden in his home, and I heard he's planning to smuggle himself out of the country..."

These words were like a powerful bombshell, instantly causing a stir in the already somewhat noisy Revolutionary Committee office.

People who were engrossed in their work suddenly looked up in surprise, as if pulled by an invisible and powerful force. Their ears perked up and their eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry.

In an instant, the office became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and even the ticking of the second hand on the wall clock was clearly audible.

Yan Liang frowned, his expression becoming unusually serious. He quickly leaned closer and lowered his voice, saying, "Brother, this is no small matter to be taken lightly. Where did you hear this from? Is the information reliable?"

He knew that this matter was of great importance, and if the report was false, he would not only lose face, but also face severe punishment.

Chu Kuo understood immediately and gave Yan Liang a meaningful look, a look that seemed to hold endless secrets and hints. He then lowered his voice and said, "How could it not be reliable? My... my best buddy saw it with his own eyes! I wouldn't hide it from anyone else, but from you? When it comes to good things, you're definitely the first person I think of!"

As he spoke, he nudged Yan Liang lightly with his elbow, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes, hinting at the potential "benefits" and opportunities.

At this moment, a member of the Revolutionary Committee sitting not far away couldn't help but interject: "Wasn't Guo Guanghua already taken away for investigation? I didn't expect there to be this kind of thing!"

His voice was filled with surprise and anger. As a public official with a strong sense of justice, he abhorred such illegal and disorderly behavior.

Another person chimed in, "Hmph, we really underestimated him before. Now it seems there's definitely something fishy going on! Brother Kuo, please tell us the details."

In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to Chu Kuo as if by a magnet, with each person's eyes burning with anticipation for him to reveal more astonishing details.

But as the conversation went on, everyone chimed in, and the discussion grew quieter and quieter. The other colleagues standing around couldn't hear clearly, only managing to catch a few key words from the very beginning.

Chaos erupted in the office again as everyone whispered and discussed the sudden and shocking event, a mix of suspicion and excitement filling the air.

Yan Liang glanced at his increasingly agitated and indignant colleagues, then turned his gaze to his cousin, who looked resolute and confident. He stood up abruptly, his expression almost cold and stern: "No matter what, this matter needs to be verified immediately. If it's true, it's a serious crime that cannot be tolerated!"

His eyes revealed an unwavering determination. As a member of the Revolutionary Committee, upholding the dignity and fairness of the law was his steadfast belief and duty.

Having said that, Yan Liang hurried along, not daring to delay at all, and quickly reported to the director.

Upon hearing this, the director took it very seriously and immediately inquired about the details carefully in his office, leaving no stone unturned.

After confirming that the matter had some credibility, a search warrant was quickly issued.

Clutching a search warrant, Yan Liang led a group of equally indignant and energetic colleagues to Guo Guanghua's house in a flurry of activity.
