Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

When Director Han heard that it was the people sent by the Discipline Inspection Commission to escort them, he was immediately excited.

The Discipline Inspection Commission attaches so much importance to this, it seems that the credit this time is secure.

"Comrade, please show us your ID."

Unlike Director Han, Cheng Hao is calmer and he will not easily trust anyone before reaching his destination.

The visitor was slightly startled, paused for a moment, and then took out his ID and handed it to Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao slowly opened the ID card and examined it carefully in the light of the street lamp. Director Han also came forward to observe it carefully.

"Director Cheng, there is no problem with the certificate. It is real."

After checking, Director Han smiled and said, "Comrade Ma Shen, please forgive me. It's not that we don't trust you. It's just that we just encountered bandits on the road. We still rely on Director Cheng to come back safely..."

Ma Shen nodded slightly and said earnestly, "Director Han, thank you for your hard work."

"Comrade Ma Shen, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Cheng Hao closed the certificate and returned it to Ma Shen.

Cheng Hao didn't notice anything, and Director Han also said it was no problem, so they could only give up for the time being.

"It's getting late, please take us back to the Discipline Inspection Commission building."

Ma Shen nodded and led the way in front. The rest of the people protected Cheng Hao and his group in the middle and continued to move forward.

After walking a little further, they could already see the outline of the Discipline Inspection Commission headquarters building. Victory was in sight, and the group's tense nerves inevitably relaxed.

It was an important government area and no outsiders were allowed to enter. At night, there was silence near the Discipline Inspection Commission headquarters. Apart from Cheng Hao and others, there were no other people. Only the street lights on both sides illuminated the way ahead.

At this moment, Ma Shen suddenly turned around and asked, "Two directors, we'll be here soon. Have you brought everything with you?"

"Don't worry, I have them all with me." Director Han patted the briefcase in his hand and smiled faintly.

They had already packed up the truly important evidence and were just waiting to submit it to their superiors for review.

"Director Han acted properly, worthy of being a veteran cadre."

Director Han wanted to say a few more polite words, but Ma Shen's face suddenly changed. He turned around, pointed his gun at him and shouted, "Don't move!"

Almost at the same time when Ma stretched out his hand, the guards surrounding the outside suddenly took action, raised their guns and controlled Cheng Hao and his group.

"Ma Shen, what do you mean?"

Director Han looked at Ma Shen in panic. He never expected that something strange could happen at the doorstep of a neighbor's house.

"Director Han, he's a fake. We've been tricked."

Cheng Hao was more sober and realized instantly that Ma Shen and his gang were definitely not sent by the Discipline Inspection Commission.

"How is that possible? Their IDs clearly show..."

Director Han suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his speech, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his breathing became heavy.

"Uniforms can be faked, and of course certificates can be faked as well." Cheng Hao said calmly.

When Ma Shen and his gang approached, Cheng Hao had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't find any flaws at the moment, so he ignored it.

“Haha, Director Cheng is an understanding person.

This makes things much simpler.”

Ma Shen showed a ferocious look on his face, pointed at the briefcase in Director Han's hand and said, "Director Han, hand over the things obediently, and I will let you go."

Ma Shen and his gang came here just for the evidence in Director Han's hands. Many people in the city do not want this evidence to fall into the hands of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Instead of letting go, Director Han held the briefcase tighter and said, "You take me for a fool. Without this evidence, our lives will be in danger."

Ma Shen frowned, but Cheng Hao spoke first to explain for him: "Director Han, they won't do that. This place is so close to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. If a gunfight breaks out, the guards will come here quickly, and they won't be able to escape.

If you really want to kill us, just shoot us, there's no need to waste your breath."

"Talking to smart people saves effort."

Ma Shen showed an approving look, turned to look at Director Han and said, "Director Han, we have no intention of murdering government officials, please hand over the things."

Director Han looked to Cheng Hao for advice.

Cheng Hao nodded in agreement. Evidence was just dead matter, not human life. The other party had already controlled many people, and if a fight broke out, Cheng Hao would not be able to guarantee their personal safety.

"Ok."

Director Han gritted his teeth and finally gave up the great achievement that was within his grasp.

Ma Shen did not step forward, but instead signaled his men to take the briefcase from Director Han.

The subordinates who got the briefcase left first, while Ma Shen and others stayed where they were to control Cheng Hao and his party.

"Director Cheng, Director Han, I'm sorry."

After the subordinate with the briefcase ran away, Ma Shen and others retreated a distance and evacuated in different directions.

"Damn it, chase him!"

Seeing the other party fleeing, Director Han pulled out his pistol and fired a warning shot into the air, and then went after him.

Cheng Hao held Director Han down and said calmly, "Director Han, don't be impulsive."

"Hey, Director Cheng, hurry up and catch up, it will be too late if you don't go now!"

The evidence was thrown out of Director Han's hands, so he was naturally very anxious.

"The enemy is fleeing in scattered groups. We have limited manpower and it is very risky to pursue them. The gain is not worth the loss.

And the stuff is still in our hands. The most important task now is to hand over the evidence to the Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Director Han froze in place for a moment, turned his head and looked at Cheng Hao in disbelief, frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

Cheng Hao reached into his arms and pulled out a thick account book like a magic trick.

Just now when Ma Shen asked whether all the evidence had been brought with him, Cheng Hao was cautious and used the space to transfer the contents of the briefcase out to preserve the evidence.

Director Han hurriedly took the account book and looked through it carefully, and then the look of doubt in his eyes became even stronger.

"When did you transfer the account book?"

Director Han kept a close eye on the account book the whole time without any slackness. He really couldn't imagine how Cheng Hao managed to get the things out from under his nose.

"Don't forget that I put the account book into the bag myself."

Cheng Hao stopped there without further explanation, leaving the rest for Director Han to complete.

"Then...then why didn't you tell me in advance, causing me to..."

Director Han couldn't help but complain.

Director Han was very worried as he carried the account book along the way.

“It’s a big deal, so I have to be extra careful.

To fool others, you must fool yourself first. Fortunately, I predicted the other party's actions in advance, and the account book was lost. "

Cheng Hao spoke eloquently and urged, "Hurry up and take the things back to the Discipline Inspection Commission and hand them over to your superiors. Don't trust anyone easily this time."

As Cheng Hao was speaking, a team of armed guards came rushing over from the direction of the Discipline Inspection Commission office building.

"Comrade, we are from the Security Department of the Discipline Inspection Commission. We just heard gunshots. What happened?"

Director Han fired a gun into the air and the guards came over after hearing the sound.

"I'm Han Wenxian from the Discipline Inspection Commission. We just caught a group of gangsters pretending to be the Commission's guards, and they are now fleeing outside.

Please give chase immediately."

Director Han stepped forward to explain.
