Chapter 302 Hou Liangping's Desire for Progress

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo went to rest.

In the darkness of night, at the Jingzhou Railway Station in Handong Province.

Around four in the morning, the train stopped at the station, and a young man in his early twenties got off the train with a backpack and a mask on.

Yi Tianci first looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was quiet and there was nothing unusual.

Several days have passed, and Mao Ya's instructions to her son, Yi Tianci, are that if she does not contact him for several days, he should release the video and evidence to the public.

Yi Tianci was not supposed to come to Handong, but two days ago, all his electronic products, including his mobile phone, computer, and other devices that he had touched in the past two weeks, were stolen. This included his mobile phone and computer that stored videos and recordings.

From that day on, Yi Tianci had a vague feeling that something had happened to his mother. Mao Ya was also very cautious. In addition to sending messages to her son, she kept the original camera and voice recorder in Handong, but only Yi Tianci knew the location.

Following the flow of people out of the platform, Yi Tianci immediately sensed something was wrong when he reached the exit. Several pairs of eyes were staring intently at him at the exit. The moment he swiped his ID card to exit the station, those people silently approached him.

At four in the morning, there were no more subways or other public transportation. Yi Tianci's heart was pounding, and he quickened his pace to follow the flow of people, intending to leave the train station first.

Just as Yi Tianci was about to reach the square, the people behind him stopped following him and started jogging towards him.

Yi Tianci saw this scene clearly. Instead of standing still, he took off running at full speed.

Seeing this, the men behind him stopped pretending and immediately ran after him. There weren't many people around the train station at four in the morning, and Yi Tianci didn't dare to stop and ask for help when he finally saw a few groups of people. After all, he only had one mouth, and if the people chasing him pulled out some police ID, he would be finished.

Asking for help from ordinary people wouldn't work. He ran all the way, and the young man's stamina was undeniable. He managed to shake off the people behind him after running for half an hour.

However, Yi Tianci seemed to have underestimated his opponent. He had just arrived at the location his mother had told him to take a taxi, and while he went upstairs to get a camera and a voice recorder, several black SUVs followed him upstairs.

A dozen or so men came down this time, all of them wearing masks and sunglasses to cover their mouths and noses. If Yi Tianci hadn't been curious and peeked out the window, he would have almost been fooled.

It was too late to run away now. After returning to his room and locking the door, Yi Tianci took out his phone and dialed the police.

The operator connected the call quickly.

However, at the last moment, Yi Tianci gave up. He was afraid that the police who came were from the Guangming District and might arrest him instead of helping him!

Feeling somewhat depressed, Yi Tianci decided to first seek help from the Discipline Inspection Commission and other departments, and only call the police in Handong if all else failed.

First, he called the provincial discipline inspection commission's hotline, but no one answered after the phone rang for a long time. Then he called the municipal discipline inspection commission's hotline, but it was the same thing.

It's not anyone else's fault, it's just a matter of timing. The Discipline Inspection Commission isn't the police, it's impossible for them to receive reports 24/7. There might be a few places that require 24-hour online service, but there are always ways around policies. If you actually call, the line is either busy or they're not available.

Moreover, the Handong Discipline Inspection Commission is not staffed 24/7.

"Dry!"

After two unanswered calls, Yi Tianci's heart sank to the bottom. The urgency in his heart made him start searching and eventually he found the work phone number of the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate. It was just a coincidence.

Regardless of whether it would work or not, in his desperation, Yi Tianci dialed the number. Ten seconds, twenty seconds, just as Yi Tianci was about to despair, the call was answered.

"Hello, this is Hou Liangping, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. May I ask what brings you here?"

At Hou Liangping's home, he sat upright on the bed, not yet fully awake. He had been working very hard in Lüzhou during this period, and had only been resting for two days after returning to Jingzhou.

"Director Hou! Are you really Director Hou Liangping?"

"Yes, it is me, the real deal, comrade. Don't get agitated, just tell me what's on your mind."

Hou Liangping yawned, assuming it was just another phone call from someone reporting officials.

"Director Hou! My name is Yi Tianci. My father is Yi Xuexi, the former Party Secretary of Guangming District."

My mother's name is Mao Ya. I want to report the illegal and criminal activities of Li Shangli, the current Party Secretary of Guangming District!

When Liangping heard about Yi Xuexi, he was stunned; when he heard about reporting Li Shangli, he was even more dumbfounded.

"Take your time and speak slowly, don't rush..."

About three minutes later, Hou Liangping had a general understanding of Yi Tianci's situation.

"You mean you're currently being cornered in your apartment building by a dozen masked men?"

"Yes, Director Hou! Please come quickly, I'm afraid they'll destroy the evidence. These people were definitely hired by Li Shangli!"

"Okay, okay, I'll be right there!"

After Hou Liangping finished speaking, he didn't hesitate at all. As he got up, he didn't forget to bombard the others with phone calls. There were staff members left at the procuratorate. At the same time, he also called Zhou Zheng to call for reinforcements. After going downstairs, Hou Liangping got in his car and drove straight to his destination.

While driving, Liangping didn't forget to call the police, since there were more than a dozen people on the other side.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door of Yi Tianci's apartment building. He couldn't understand how the other party had pinpointed his location so accurately.

The door was naturally closed; in fact, Yi Tianci had locked it from the inside.

"We're from the district police station, please open the door and cooperate!"

The knocking grew louder and louder, but Yi Tianci didn't believe the other person at all; he wasn't stupid.

Seeing that they couldn't fool Yi Tianci, these people stopped pretending and directly took out their tools to dismantle the door. Their only mission was to destroy the evidence at all costs!

After all, it was a security door, and it was very difficult to remove the lock when it was locked from the inside. This gave Yi Tianci time. Fifteen minutes later, as the lock was removed, the door was opened, and more than a dozen men rushed in, looking around before finally locking onto the bedroom.

The bedroom door was also locked from the inside, but they didn't have time to dismantle it anymore. It wasn't a security door; it could be easily opened with some force.

Boom! The leading man kicked the door open, shattering it, and Hou Liangping arrived with six or seven staff members from the procuratorate.

"Who are you? Stop it!"

But the door had already been opened, and the group of men didn't care about anything else. They rushed into the room to destroy the evidence. Seeing this, Hou Liangping rushed forward without hesitation to try to stop them, and the other prosecutors also gritted their teeth and rushed forward.

The collision meant conflict, and it's unclear who started it, but seven or eight prosecutors and eleven masked men got into a fight.

The scene was chaotic.
