"What do you mean?" Hou Shifei asked softly.
Jian Zhengping said fiercely, "Of course it's because of Director Ning. Director Ning is now in charge of the Second Division. This guy Bao Hong dares to skim money in the drug case. He's simply courting death. This time, I'm determined to kill him."
Hou Shifei was a little stunned. He naturally knew that Director Ning was in charge now. This Director Ning had a notorious reputation in the Military Intelligence Bureau and was naturally a ruthless character. However, he had never met him before and did not know his background.
However, since taking over the crackdown operation half a month ago, everyone has seen clearly that this commander's methods are extremely powerful and his reputation is well-deserved. But will he kill Bao Hong?
"I heard that Bao Hong followed Deputy Director Huang in his early years and valued him highly. Will Director Ning have any concerns?"
"Bullshit! Others may not know Bao Hong's background, but do you think I don't? Back when the Director was in the combat troops, Bao Hong was just a small company commander under him. Later, because of gambling, he was almost fired and had no choice but to join the Director. The Director, out of consideration for his old subordinate, arranged for him to work on the periphery. After the Military Intelligence Bureau was established, the Second Operations Division was formed. This kid jumped around and bribed countless people to get a position. In the Director's eyes, he's nothing but a dog. He really thinks he's something."
Jian Zhengping had followed Huang Xianzheng for many years and knew Bao Hong's background very well. Therefore, he was certain that if Bao Hong dared to disobey Ning Zhiheng's orders and embezzle funds, it would be far more serious than delaying the construction schedule. Given Ning Zhiheng's character, Bao Hong would surely die, and even Deputy Director Huang wouldn't say a word.
Hou Shifei asked in a low voice, "Can we really bring down Bao Hong this time?"
He is now in a difficult situation in the three departments, and it is only a matter of time before Bao Hong takes him down. He would be more than happy to be able to bring down Bao Hong.
Jian Zhengping nodded emphatically and said again, "Director Ning has deep connections. If he wants to deal with Bao Hong, the Director will definitely not protect him. We must strike decisively and kill him!"
Jian Zhengping made up his mind that this was the best opportunity for him to resolve his grievances with Bao Hong, and also a good chance for him to regain his position in the director's eyes.
Jian Zhengping then looked at Hou Shifei and said solemnly, "This is your chance, you must seize it."
"I?"
Hou Shifei hesitated. Jian Zhengping's meaning was clear: he was to step forward and provide evidence, which was a huge gamble.
"Don't hesitate any longer. You've already offended Bao Hong. I estimate that it won't be long before you're sent to the military law department of the front-line combat troops. Once you get there, not only will your life be in danger, but with Bao Hong keeping an eye on you, it will be difficult for you to get ahead again. If you don't seize this opportunity to fight now, you'll never have another chance."
Jian Zhengping's words were not alarmist. If things continued to develop this way, it was only a matter of time before Hou Shifei was sent away.
"Besides, you have no connections in the Second Division. Take this opportunity to show your stance and join Ning's faction. In the future, won't you rise to prominence in the Second Division? Shi Fei, you can't be indecisive when doing big things. Opportunities are fleeting, so don't miss them."
Jian Zhengping's last words finally solidified Hou Shifei's resolve. He nodded heavily and agreed, "That's settled then, I'll do as you say!"
"Great!" Jian Zhengping happily raised his glass, and Hou Shifei also raised his glass in response. The two of them drank it all in one gulp.
Hou Shifei then asked, "What do you need me to do now?"
"Of course, once we find evidence of their embezzlement, I can't just report it to Director Ning without any evidence, can I? I also need to bring out the evidence we've collected before."
Jian Zhengping then said, slowly and deliberately, "This time we must completely crush him, so that he will never be able to recover."
Hou Shifei nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go find this evidence. Wait for my news!"
Hou Shifei acted quickly, finding evidence of Bao Hong's embezzlement in just one afternoon.
Late at night, in Jian Zhengping's office, Hou Shifei reported to Jian Zhengping: "Section Chief, the matter has been investigated and clarified!"
"So fast! Tell me quickly!" Jian Zhengping said happily. He got up and poured Hou Shifei a cup of hot water, gesturing for him to sit down and tell him in detail.
Hou Shifei smiled slightly and said, "Actually, this kind of thing is easy to investigate. All of Bao Hong's shady dealings were handled by Xie Guangji. As long as I keep an eye on Xie Guangji, he won't get away. This afternoon, Xie Guangji went to a house on Biandan Street in Yuzhong District, fiddled around for a long time, and found something. He packed it into two boxes and then sent it to one of Bao Hong's outer residences."
"Two boxes? What could be inside?" Bao Hong pressed.
“I’ve checked. That house belongs to Wan Guangji, the owner of Guangyao Trading Company. I made some inquiries from the side, and it’s said that Wan Guangji’s backer is Jiang Chou, the director of the Municipal Health Department. Jiang Chou has indeed made appearances for Guangyao Trading Company a few times. I suspect that Wan Guangji is just Jiang Chou’s front man.”
"Jiang Chou?"
"He is one of the criminals arrested this time, and he was personally targeted by Xie Guangji."
"Well done!" Jian Zhengping waved his arm excitedly, which immediately dragged Bao Hong into the matter. As long as the investigation continues, Bao Hong will not be able to get away easily.
"By the way, let me check, Guangyao Trading Company?" Upon hearing the name, Jian Zhengping quickly took out an account book from the drawer. This was the seizure list delivered by the Third Operations Division this afternoon, but he searched for a long time without finding the name of this trading company.
"Get lost! They're not just skimming off the top; they've swallowed an entire trading company whole! Bao Hong has gone mad; they're incredibly audacious!"
