Jian Zhengping had no mood to respond to Wei Yong's teasing. He reached out and took the ledger, opened it and flipped through it, and said with a wry smile, "Don't complain. Ever since the cleanup operation started, the Second Operation Division has been working like crazy. Who has rested all night? You waited downstairs all night, and I kept watch upstairs all night. I haven't even had breakfast yet."
Wei Yong chuckled as he looked at Jian Zhengping. He knew that Jian Zhengping had been reprimanded by the section chief this time, and his days were bound to be tough. Otherwise, he would have been too scared to sleep and would have been keeping a close watch on the construction site.
Seeing Wei Yong's inexplicable smile, Jian Zhengping rolled his eyes and said nothing more. He casually flipped through the list in the ledger, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became. He couldn't help but take a breath, looked up at Wei Yong, and asked in surprise, "Old Wei, these guys have quite a lot of wealth."
The Second Operations Division only deals with violations of laws and regulations by the military. It has never intervened in such cases before, let alone carried out such a large-scale confiscation of property. Jian Zhengping was immediately shocked by the amount of money involved.
Wei Yong couldn't help but nod and say, "Damn it, no wonder people say that officials travel thousands of miles just for money. Our party and country are ruined by these corrupt officials, each one of them is fat and bloated."
In this era, the darkest side of the Kuomintang was embodied in these government officials. They engaged in corruption, embezzled public funds, and manipulated things at all levels. As long as an official held real power, he was a fat, bloodsucking parasite with a rich fortune.
Jian Zhengping suddenly remembered something. He looked up at Wei Yong and said in a low voice, "Old Wei, let me remind you, when I went to report to the director just now, he told me that this drug case is a big case with a significant impact. In the end, we will have to report to the two bureau chiefs. You'd better be careful and don't cause any trouble in there."
Wei Yong shook his head irritably and said, "Do you need to tell me? Don't worry, I'm not like that guy Bao Hong, who can't resist money. Drug cases are no ordinary matter, I know the seriousness of things. All these things are still here. I sealed them up yesterday. You should send your men to receive them. I have a lot of things to do here, and I need to submit the interrogation records to the director. I can't chat with you anymore."
After Wei Yong finished speaking, he waved and quickly left.
After listening to Wei Yong's words, Jian Zhengping watched his departing figure and suddenly had a thought. This operation was quite large in scale, and the Intelligence Section, Operation Section 1, and Operation Section 2 had already arrested quite a few people.
Judging from the interrogation, the amount of assets seized this time is definitely not small. Nowadays, corruption is rampant in officialdom. Even though the Second Operations Division is a quasi-military unit, it has to be said that it is not a clean place.
Based on his understanding of these colleagues, he wasn't sure whether Wei Yong had embezzled any money.
However, Jian Zhengping can say with certainty that with such a large sum of money in his hands, given Bao Hong's greedy and insatiable nature, he would absolutely not be able to control himself.
When Bao Hong was handling cases in the military, he repeatedly embezzled and accepted bribes, and caused all sorts of trouble. However, due to the privileged status of the Second Action Division and the protection of Huang Xianzheng, no one investigated him. Jian Zhengping was also Huang Xianzheng's confidant, so he was fully aware of this.
Will Bao Hong revert to his old ways and reach out again? Jian Zhengping wondered, resting his chin on his hand.
He and Bao Hong are now at odds, and he has long wanted to deal with Bao Hong. This is a good opportunity. However, the mistake in the prison renovation has caused him to lose face in the eyes of the director. Jian Zhengping urgently needs an opportunity to curry favor with the director. If he could use Bao Hong as a gift to the director, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
Jian Zhengping thought about it more and more and it made more sense. It seemed that he had to make a good plan. He hadn't dealt with Bao Hong before because Bao Hong had Deputy Director Huang backing him up, and Director Wei had turned a blind eye and didn't discipline him. But now that Director Ning was in charge, he was a strong person, and even Deputy Director Huang had to give way. He would definitely not tolerate Bao Hong. Yes, this was a rare opportunity, and it was also his chance to show his loyalty.
Jian Zhengping mobilized his subordinates, each leading a group to receive the assets on the list. After finishing his tasks, around noon, he went to a restaurant not far from the Second Division and found a secluded corner to sit down.
Before long, a young man in plain clothes also walked in quickly. He looked at Jian Zhengping from a distance, then walked over. The two nodded to each other and sat down opposite each other.
Jian Zhengping casually ordered a few dishes and poured wine for the young man. Only then did the young man ask, "Section Chief, what brings you here today?"
This young man was Hou Shifei, the action team leader of the Third Action Division. He and Jian Zhengping had been in contact privately for some time.
Previously, Jian Zhengping had a falling out with Bao Hong and harbored resentment towards him, so he secretly observed and chose Hou Shifei as his breakthrough point.
The reason is simple: when Bao Hong was handling cases in the military, he accepted bribes and committed embezzlement and corruption, protecting officers who were drawing salaries without working and exploiting soldiers. Hou Shifei, who was in charge of enforcing military law at the time, had some conflicts with Bao Hong because of this, and was subsequently targeted by Bao Hong. Now, Hou Shifei is having a very difficult time in the Third Section. As a result, Jian Zhengping contacted Hou Shifei many times. With various interests and the influence of money, Hou Shifei quickly formed an alliance with Jian Zhengping and became his informant in the Third Section.
Jian Zhengping said in a low voice, "Has your interrogation work in the three departments concluded this time?"
"It's over!" Hou Shifei nodded, somewhat dismissively, "We only arrested traitors who had been turned, so there was almost no difficulty in interrogating them. With a little manipulation, they all started talking. We interrogated them all night last night and finished this morning."
