Chapter 307 High-Pressure Strikes by Handong

Lu Zheng'an watched it with great difficulty.

After it was over, he closed his eyes, trying to tell himself to forget those thunderous images, but the more he thought about them, the clearer they became.

Lu Zheng'an opened his eyes and left the study cursing.

Half an hour later, at the dining table, Lu Zheng'an, Judge Wu, Liu Mingyu, and Lu Yike, the whole family sat together neatly, ready to eat.

However, looking at the food on the table, Lu Zheng'an, who picked up his chopsticks, had no appetite at all. Looking at the bright red braised pork, Lu Zheng'an felt a chill run down his spine.

Seeing this, Judge Wu directly picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks and put it into Lu Zheng'an's bowl.

"Old Lu, what's wrong with you? You always say you don't have a good appetite if I don't cook, but today I finally made a meal and you're not eating it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng'an forced a smile and shook his head.

"No, that's not true. I'll eat it, I'll eat it."

As soon as he put the meat in his mouth and chewed, the grease made Lu Zheng'an uncontrollably think of Mao Ya's shriveled pears, and he vomited on the ground.

Just as Judge Wu was about to lose his temper, Lu Yike, who was eating, suddenly felt nauseous and immediately vomited like her father.

"Huh? What's going on with you two today?"

Lu Zheng'an straightened up, wiped his mouth, and offered no explanation.

At this moment, Liu Mingyu also helped Lu Yike pat her back.

"Yes, but you're not pregnant, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng'an instantly stopped feeling disgusted, and Judge Wu stopped being angry. They both stared intently at Lu Yike.

Lu Yike blushed and shook her head.

"I'm not really sure, I've just felt nauseous and can't eat anything these past few days..."

"What are you standing there for? Go to the hospital for a checkup!"

Judge Wu issued a family order, and Lu Zheng'an and Liu Mingyu naturally obeyed.

At 10 p.m., the test results came back, and I was about six weeks pregnant.

This was naturally a cause for celebration for the Lu family.

However, while some are happy, others are sad. At Li Shangli's residence, Li Shangli's forehead is drenched in sweat, and fear, worry, and tension all surge up.

"Li Shangli, tell me the truth, what's going on between you and that Mao Ya!"

Listening to Zhou Jianjun's questioning on the phone, Li Shangli truly didn't know how to answer, or to what extent to respond.

"Governor Jianjun, I...I really don't know what you're talking about. You know me, I just came to Handong not long ago, and I have no relationship with Mao Yazhen."

She came to see me at the district committee and district government a while ago, saying she could help me persuade Wang Dalu…”

"Li Shangli! You're still spouting these lies to fool me?"

Do you even know that the video of you and that Mao Ya has been circulated all over the provincial party committee? Are you out of your mind? That Mao Ya is in her forties or fifties and pregnant, and you actually... How shameful!

Upon hearing this, Li Shangli knew that some things could no longer be kept secret.

"I'm innocent, Governor! It wasn't me who did it on purpose. It was that woman, Mao Ya, who drugged me..."

"If you don't give them a chance, how could they drug you?"

"Tell me the truth, is Maoya's escape related to you? Don't lie to me. I can only help you if you tell me the truth!"

Zhou Jianjun's words had a probing tone.

However, Li Shangli wasn't falling for it. He still believed in the saying, "Confess and you'll be treated leniently, or you'll be locked up for life." If he told the truth, Li Shangli was worried that Zhou Jianjun might choose to cut ties with him at any time.

Therefore, he pretended to be very sad.

"Governor, you're wronging me. I admit I was tricked by that old woman Mao Ya, but how could I possibly have the ability to send her abroad?"

"You really didn't do it?"

"I swear to God, Governor!"

"Okay, I understand. Don't neglect your work in Guangming District. Do a good job. Mao Ya's matter won't affect you much. That's all for now, I'll hang up now."

Li Shangli finally breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

"You want me to admit it? Do you think I'm that stupid?"

Rolling his eyes, Li Shangli then took out another phone and called his cousin.

"Hey, Erdan?"

"Brother Shangli, is something the matter?"

"Have you dealt with Maoya yet?"

This is what Li Shangli is most worried about, after all, only the dead can shut up.

"Brother Shangli, not yet. Didn't you say you were going to teach this old woman a lesson? Well, the guys in my park are always typing on their keyboards and don't have any fun, so I'm just leaving this old woman to them."

I don't know how many days he has left, but at this rate, it's only a matter of days.

Hearing this, Li Shangli breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"That's good. Just make sure there are no survivors and clean things up thoroughly. Thanks, Erdan."

"Hey, we're brothers, Shang Li, I should be thanking you."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before ending the call.

"Tsk, Mao Ya, you dare mess with me? If you manage to come back alive this time, I'll change my surname to yours!"

In a dark room in Southeast Asia, Mao Ya was so weak that she couldn't lift her head. There were no tears left in her eyes, and no light for life remained in her gaze. Perhaps the only thing that kept her going was the flame of revenge burning in her heart.

On Saturday, Chen Luo chaired a special meeting on combating fraud across the province. The meeting required all police officers in the province to conduct thorough investigations and uncover the dens of telecommunications fraud and pyramid schemes one by one. This task is not actually difficult, but it truly tests the loyalty of grassroots police officers.

What's frightening is the cooperation between the police and criminals, just like how most prostitutes have protectors.

The solution to this problem is simple: each district leader must sign a pledge within one month to ensure that there are no fraud gangs or pyramid schemes in their district. If any are found, the entire group will be punished!

High pressure means taking risks, and the grassroots police officers are not of one mind; everyone is afraid of losing their jobs.

However, it's not all pressure.

Once a fraud gang is apprehended or a pyramid scheme is dismantled, that's considered a merit, a merit that can lead to a direct promotion!

Most importantly, Yun Haifeng emphasized that after reporting to the provincial department, arrests could be carried out directly across cities, districts, or counties, breaking geographical restrictions and getting those who really wanted to claim credit to get moving.

After the deployment was completed, all the police officers at the grassroots level in Handong were highly motivated. Auxiliary police officers wanted to be promoted, and regular police officers wanted to be promoted. Everyone worked overtime in tacit agreement, and even after get off work, they did not forget to collect clues in plainclothes.

They started from their respective jurisdictions, and if they didn't find anything in their own jurisdiction, they went to other areas. It was a fierce competition, but there were also advantages. With such high enthusiasm for the search, some pyramid schemes and fraud gangs were quickly discovered.

In Lincheng, there was even an incident where two district police stations were vying to arrest a fraud gang. Everyone knew this was an opportunity, and no one wanted to miss it. Overnight, Handong became a hell for fraudsters and pyramid schemes.
