190: The Discipline Inspection Commission is here.

Yang Weiguo saw Bureau Chief Wang Mingrui and deputy director Zhang Chong from the General Bureau, leading over a dozen Criminal Police Officers, walking towards him with displeased expressions.

Yang Weiguo used to be with the General Bureau, but because of his excellent performance and numerous achievements during this period, after completing his studies in the province, he was directly transferred from the General Bureau to a sub-bureau as a deputy director.

However, he had been on the front lines for too long and couldn't sit still, so he didn't like being in an office and still preferred to lead by example.

Seeing his old superiors approach, Yang Weiguo immediately walked over with a smile: "Director Wang, Director Zhang, what brings you two esteemed gentlemen to my small sub-bureau in the North City Suburbs?"

"Yang Weiguo, where is Zhao Zheng? Our General Bureau is taking Zhao Zheng away."

Wang Mingrui got straight to the point, his tone unfriendly.

Yang Weiguo was stunned by the words, wondering what kind of play this was.

Yang Weiguo thought the General Bureau was trying to snatch credit, and he chuckled awkwardly: "Director Wang, isn't that inappropriate? After all, he was arrested by our sub-bureau, and the North City Suburbs also falls under our sub-bureau's jurisdiction."

Wang Mingrui's face darkened, and he pulled rank: "Yang Weiguo, this is an order, not a discussion."

"This—!"

Yang Weiguo's face showed a hint of difficulty; this was a major achievement, and even if he, Yang Weiguo, was willing to hand it over, few of his Criminal Police Officers would be willing.

"Yang Weiguo, Secretary Bai said that this matter is of great importance and has already affected the City's image, so Secretary Wang personally instructed our General Bureau to thoroughly investigate and supervise it. Are you going to disobey Secretary Wang's words as well?"

Zhang Chong, seeing that Yang Weiguo still dared to refuse, immediately brought up Bai Jingming.

Zhang Chong could be said to be Bai Jingming's direct subordinate. Last time, he was temporarily suspended by Ren Jing for perverting justice and favoring his nephew, Zhang Hao, which offended Qin Shou. However, it was a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing, and he quickly resumed his duties at Bai Jingming's instruction.

"Alright, I'll go bring him out now."

Yang Weiguo sighed helplessly, knowing that this matter involved the Bai family, and Secretary Bai Jingming would definitely intervene.

It involved top leaders of the City, and it was no longer something he, Yang Weiguo, could meddle with.

However, what Yang Weiguo didn't expect was that just as he turned to bring the person out, another group of people arrived.

These people were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, walking with a brisk stride. Leading them was a Middle-aged Man with a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes.

Yang Weiguo hadn't seen this group of people before and couldn't tell their origin.

As soon as the Middle-aged Man arrived, he also said the same thing: "Where is Zhao Zheng? We need to take this person for investigation."

Wang Mingrui immediately stepped forward, blocking the square-faced Middle-aged Man and angrily said: "Which unit are you from? You have no discipline at all. Things must be done according to procedure. Our Municipal Public Security Bureau has already taken over Zhao Zheng's case."

No sooner had Wang Mingrui finished speaking than the Middle-aged Man, not to be outdone, sneered and directly pulled out his identification: "Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, Hu Weimin. What, do you also want to be taken away for investigation?"

Wang Mingrui hadn't expected it to be someone from the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, and he couldn't help but gasp, his face turning pale, looking extremely unpleasant.

Yang Weiguo also stood rooted to the spot, muttering to himself, wondering what was going on today, why a mere triad leader was so sought after. First, the Municipal Public Security Bureau came to snatch him, and now even the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission was alarmed.

"What, are you trying to obstruct the Discipline Inspection Commission's investigation?" Hu Weimin, seeing Wang Mingrui still standing there motionless, couldn't help but taunt him.

"Hehe, so it's a Comrade from the Discipline Inspection Commission. Misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! I'm also here to handle a case. Since Zhao Zheng's case has been taken over by the Discipline Inspection Commission, then we naturally won't say anything more."

Wang Mingrui quickly made way, a fawning smile on his face.

Hu Weimin snorted, too lazy to say more to Wang Mingrui, and went directly to fetch the person.

A few minutes later, Yang Weiguo had already brought Zhao Zheng out with Hu Weimin and the others. As the Discipline Inspection Commission members were taking Zhao Zheng and about to get into the car to leave, Wang Mingrui suddenly blocked Hu Weimin again.

Hu Weimin had worked in the Discipline Inspection Commission for many years, known for his impartiality and unwillingness to show favoritism. Seeing Wang Mingrui obstruct him repeatedly, he was already displeased, and his face darkened as he coldly said: "What? Bureau Chief Wang, are you trying to snatch someone from the Discipline Inspection Commission?"

Wang Mingrui hadn't expected Hu Weimin to recognize him, and he was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled: "Hehe, Comrade Hu misunderstood. I was thinking that it's not easy for Comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission to come all the way from the province. How about this, I'll host a dinner tonight at Zuiyue Tower to welcome all the Comrades. What do you think, Comrade Hu?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Weimin's expression grew even more somber, and he gave Wang Mingrui no pleasant look, saying:

"No need. We still have to rush back to report. Bureau Chief Wang, there have been repeated injunctions from above against extravagant public spending. As the director of the City Bureau, I hope you pay attention to your conduct in the future."

Wang Mingrui hadn't expected Hu Weimin to be so unyielding and completely unaccommodating, and he was left standing there, looking utterly embarrassed.

Hu Weimin bypassed Wang Mingrui and, taking Zhao Zheng's people, left the police station directly.

Wang Mingrui watched the departing Discipline Inspection Commission members, a hint of gloom flashing across his face, and he spat on the ground.

Zhang Chong, seeing the Discipline Inspection Commission members leave, leaned into Wang Mingrui's ear and whispered: "Director Wang, what do we do now? Secretary Bai said that we must take Zhao Zheng no matter what."

"You go inform Secretary Bai first and explain the situation here clearly."

"Understood."

Zhang Chong nodded and immediately walked aside to call Bai Jingming.

Wang Mingrui was extremely uneasy at this moment. The only reason the Discipline Inspection Commission would suddenly intervene was that they had already obtained important evidence against certain important figures, which was why they were so eager to come and take the person away.

Many of Bai Jingming's less-than-clean affairs were handled by Wang Mingrui for him. To put it bluntly, Wang Mingrui was Bai Jingming's lackey. Once Bai Jingming got into trouble, there was no way Wang Mingrui could distance himself.

Speaking of Bai Jingming, he had just notified Wang Mingrui to go to the North City Sub-bureau to pick up the person. Unexpectedly, not long after he hung up, Zhang Chong's call came in.

Bai Jingming thought the matter was settled and eagerly answered Zhang Chong's call.

"Hello, how did things go?"

"Secretary Bai, something happened. People from the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission suddenly arrived, intercepted us halfway, and took Zhao Zheng directly." Zhao Zheng's voice on the other end of the phone was anxious.

"What? People from the Discipline Inspection Commission came? How is this possible!"

Bai Jingming was shocked by the news, immediately feeling dizzy. The phone in his hand dropped directly to the ground, and he almost couldn't stand, trembling as he retreated several steps.

Fortunately, Joyful Monk behind him was quick-witted, immediately got up, and supported Bai Jingming.
