After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

Nanhu Old Duck Soup is a relatively ordinary restaurant on Sanhe Street in Pingjiang County.

It may sound incredible that a restaurant became the core of Wei Dezheng's corruption case, but the logic behind it is very simple: it is easy to bribe and launder money.

Normally, if an official suddenly has a large amount of extra funds in his hands, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the anti-corruption department. However, it is usually difficult to find a reasonable excuse for such black money obtained from bribery and corruption. This is the case with Director Zhao Dehan, who has a large amount of cash hidden at home and dares not spend it.

But it is different if you use a restaurant as a cover, because if you open a restaurant here, there is no way to verify how many people go in to eat every day and how much they spend in this era without surveillance.

Even if there are surveillance cameras, it is useless, because if someone is "enjoying the meal", it is normal to open a few bottles of foreign liquor worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan to eat with meat, but whether it is really expensive foreign liquor or plain water, only God knows.

Of course, there are tax bills to check for dining expenses, and Wei Dezheng has one last trick: investing.

Some bosses see that the restaurant business is "booming" and pay money to invest in the so-called "joint operation". There is no evidence to prove this. Not only can they make up the amount with empty words, they can even escape with the tax.

It has to be said that Wei De is really racking his brains on how to evade supervision through corruption.

What he did did work, otherwise the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in his previous life would not have been able to return empty-handed in several secret investigations over the past twenty years.

In fact, if Wei Dezheng had not transferred the store to his own name in order to completely extricate himself, he would not have been able to understand the shocking inside story behind the case.

Now that the key point of Nanhu Old Duck Soup has been revealed, I believe that with the ability of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it will be easy to find evidence that Wei Dezheng accepted bribes and laundered money through the restaurant, just like in his previous life.

This will prove that I am trustworthy...

Yes, everything Lu An did was to gain the trust of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection as soon as possible.

Lu An knew very well that if he came so rashly, Ye Xianggao's first reaction would definitely be vigilance and distrust, even if he took out the teacher's letter of recommendation.

But Lu An had no choice. The only way to get revenge for him right now was the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

This does not mean that Lu An was blinded by hatred. It is true that Lu An hated Wei Dezheng's family, but he was far from losing his mind.

The reason why he has to borrow the power of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection now is just to deal with Wei Dezheng's family as soon as possible so that he can get rid of the past and start a new life. He cannot let the Wei family become a thorn in his side and always be stuck here.

Lu An believed that with his rebirth, he would be able to achieve great things in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The most urgent task now is to prepare the materials.

Although Lu An had already ordered the key dish, Nanhu Old Duck Soup, there was no such thing as too much clues and evidence.

So Lu An tried hard to recall the details of the case, then unscrewed the pen and began to write on the paper.

In this way, Lu An kept recalling and writing until midnight, and finally fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up again, it was already the next morning, and then he saw Zhao Hu coming to inform him: "Get ready, we will go back to the province soon."

This news was like a blow to Lu An, knocking him unconscious.

Unexpectedly, the special mission group did the same thing as before. After hitting a wall in Pingjiang County, they retreated back to the province in disgrace.

Haven’t I already given the key clue?

Could it be that his rash visit really alerted the enemy, causing the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to misjudge that Wei Dezheng had received the news and would be on guard, so they decided to retreat?

Despite this, Lu An still did not give up. At least he took himself to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, so he was not completely without hope.

He looked at the materials he had prepared for a day on the table, sorted them out, took them with him, and handed them to Ye Xianggao through Zhao Hu.

Ye Xianggao just looked at Lu An deeply twice and said nothing.

Sitting in the car of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu flanked him on the left and right.

This scene seemed to make Lu An understand something, because if Ye Xianggao really called off the attack, there would be no need to bring him along, and judging from the behavior of the two brothers, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, it was clear that they were escorting a suspect to prevent him from escaping.

Just like that, Lu An returned to the province in the car of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. However, Lu An did not go directly to the provincial party committee compound. Instead, he was placed in a guesthouse not far away, which was another double-regulation room.

Along the way, Lu An carefully sorted out the whole situation and found that he had thought too simply.

Originally, he thought that as long as he appeared in front of the special task force and produced clues and evidence, he would be able to force the special task force to take action.

But Ye Xianggao is, after all, a big shot who will become the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in the future. How could he possibly play the cards according to the direction he set? The special mission of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would also not believe his one-sided statement.

So they hurried back to the province. It was very likely that they did not really give up, but were throwing a smoke bomb. Regardless of whether they were sent by Wei Dezheng to provoke or not, their retreat could confuse the other side very well. When Wei Dezheng relaxed his vigilance, they would suddenly strike back, and there was a good chance of achieving unexpected results.

Of course, the worst outcome is that they really gave up like they did in their previous life.

But even so, it doesn’t matter. As long as I can enter the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, I will be able to avenge this grudge with my own hands sooner or later!

With this belief in mind, Lu An settled down in the guesthouse with peace of mind, but Lu An didn't expect that he would stay there for half a month.

For two whole weeks, if Zhang Long and Zhao Hu had not followed him, Lu An would have suspected that Ye Xianggao had forgotten that there was someone living in the guesthouse.

One of Lu An's strengths is that he is very patient, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stay in such a low position in the Wei family in his previous life.

It was this advantage that made Lu Anan feel at ease living in the guesthouse. Every day, apart from playing cards and chatting with Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, she would reorganize the case materials about Wei Dezheng in her room.

It was not until early in the morning that someone knocked on Lu An's door. Lu An got out of bed in a daze and opened the door, only to find Ye Xianggao standing at the door.

Lu An suddenly started to wake up, knowing that the turning point he had been waiting for had finally come.

Ye Xianggao walked in and sat down. Lu An took a cup and poured a cup of hot water for Director Ye, then sat in front of him.

Compared to his sharp edge last time, Ye Xianggao was quite kind today.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Ye Xianggao asked.

A leader is a leader. Even if he is in the Discipline Inspection Commission, he is well versed in the art of official language. It is obvious that he took the initiative to come to you, but he asked you what you wanted to say.

Moreover, this question is so ambiguous that you can't grasp his main point at all and you don't know what he wants to ask.

But Lu An has his own way of solving the problem.

He just smiled and asked, "Leader, can I go to work at the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

Ye Xianggao was stunned.

He had imagined Lu An's possible answer. It could be said that he was prepared no matter whether Lu An was complaining or grumbling. But he never expected that Lu An would ask such a question in return, avoiding all possible language traps.

Good for you!

Ye Xianggao smiled: "You have been here for half a month for no reason, and you don't feel wronged, and you don't have anything else to say?"

Being witty occasionally works wonders, but if you do it all the time it will become annoying.

Lu An understood this principle very well, so he lowered his head slightly and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint Director Ye. I still can't figure out the deep meaning of your arrangement."

Having lived two lives, Lu An knows very well that flattery should not be done openly. If you directly say that the leader's arrangement has a hidden meaning, such plain talk may annoy the leader and make him think that you are a cunning person; but this method of admitting the mistake, taking a roundabout way and then coming back to the point will have a different effect.

As expected, Ye Xianggao burst into laughter after hearing this: "You little comrade! I never thought that such a conservative guy like Lao Zhang could teach a student like you."

Ye Xianggao then said in a serious tone: "Okay, let's get back to the point. Your formalities have been completed. You have joined the Provincial Party Committee Office and will be seconded to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

The older you are, the wiser you are. Ye Xianggao did not directly send Lu An to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. This seemingly roundabout arrangement actually cleverly avoided a lot of trouble. Otherwise, given Lu An's identity, he should have avoided suspicion in this case.

"Thank you, Director Ye!" Lu An clenched his fists excitedly.

"If you really want to thank me, try your best to solve the case well."

Ye Xianggao told Lu An: "We will return to Pingjiang County immediately, and you will lead the team this time!"
