310: Chapter 310 Search of Huang Hansheng's Residence, Li Bing Forced into the Trap (Part 2)

The female officer felt a surge of joy and quickly pulled the item out—it was actually a foreign bank card. She showed the card to Wang Qiong and asked, "Mrs. Huang, is this bank card yours?"

Wang Qiong looked bewildered; she had never seen this strange bank card before and shook her head without a second thought. "It's not mine. I've never seen this card before..."

However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately regretted it. This card appeared in her own suitcase; if it wasn't hers, then whose could it be? Could Old Huang have secretly tucked it in, intending for her to take it out of the country? But the words were already spoken, and there was no taking them back.

Compared to Wang Qiong's regret, the female officer was secretly celebrating. She hadn't expected to be so lucky as to find this crucial bank card first.

She immediately took a photo of the bank card with her body camera and then carefully placed it into an evidence bag.

Next, she checked the suitcase once more. After confirming there were no other suspicious items, she said to Wang Qiong, "Mrs. Huang, sorry for the trouble. You can pack up your suitcase now."

"Oh, no, it's no trouble, it's what I should do." Wang Qiong spoke while staring intently at the evidence bag in the female officer's hand. After a moment's hesitation, she asked tentatively, "Um... young lady, what will happen to that bank card?"

The female officer responded politely, "We need to take this bank card with us. But don't worry, once Deputy Director Huang's matter is cleared up, we will return it to you promptly." In her heart, however, she couldn't help but mutter, "The bank card wasn't in a wallet and was hidden so discreetly that even his own wife was kept in the dark; there's definitely a problem here... Deputy Director Huang is likely doomed this time."

Hearing the female officer say this, Wang Qiong understood that the bank card wouldn't be coming back. Thus, she couldn't help but ask again, "Young lady, tell me, is our Old Huang really... corrupt?"

An awkward smile appeared on the female officer's face. She put away the bank card and stepped forward to help pack the suitcase, explaining, "Mrs. Huang, I'm truly sorry, but we have disciplinary requirements. Besides, we were only notified on short notice, so we don't know the specific reasons either."

"Sigh," Wang Qiong sighed upon hearing this and continued, "Our Old Huang has worked diligently for half his life; how did it come to this? What kind of sin is this!" As she spoke, her voice began to choke up, her nose crinkled, and tears couldn't stop flowing from her eyes.

Seeing this, the female officer immediately took a pack of tissues from her pocket, pulled one out, and handed it to Wang Qiong. Not knowing what to say, she simply stood by quietly.

During this time, the other four officers also conducted a thorough search of Huang Hansheng's home, turning over everything related to him one by one.

The male officer leading the team even found a kraft paper envelope in the bottom drawer of the study desk. His eyes lit up; with his years of experience in handling cases, he keenly sensed that there must be something important hidden inside this envelope.

Sure enough, after opening the envelope and pulling out the documents inside, the male officer gasped after flipping through just two pages, not daring to look any further.

These documents were precisely the classified information Huang Hansheng had collected for Lei Poshan over the years, which only the high-level leadership of the Security Bureau had the authority to access.

However, logically speaking, such top-secret documents should not appear in a deputy director's home. How did this Deputy Director Huang get his hands on them?

The male officer felt a chill as he thought about the implications and hurried to report to Director Li Bing: "Director, we have a major discovery." As he spoke, he pointed his body camera at those top-secret documents.

...

At this moment, in the command center of the Security Bureau Modu Branch, Li Bing was pointing at the enlarged bank card on the big screen, ordering the head of the Technical Department: "Have someone investigate this bank card immediately!"

"Yes, Director Li!" The person in charge stood up at the command, quickly grabbed his phone, and instructed his subordinates to investigate.

Just then, the screen in the command center abruptly switched, and the male officer's voice came through clearly, reporting: "Director Li, these items were found in Deputy Director Huang Hansheng's study."

Li Bing's gaze fixed on the documents captured by the body camera, his brow furrowed. The watermark on those documents was clearly the identifier of their Security Bureau's internal classified System.

Li Bing's face was now so dark it looked like it was about to drip water. He couldn't help but curse inwardly: Is this Huang Hansheng a stupid pig? It's one thing to work for Hongmen, but he actually kept all these Materials in his own hands! Isn't he just looking for trouble for himself?

Just then, Li Bing's phone suddenly vibrated with a "buzz buzz buzz," interrupting his thoughts.

He glanced at the caller ID and couldn't help but feel a surge of panic. It was another call from that mysterious person; he wondered what they wanted this time.

At this moment, on the big screen, the male officer's voice came through again: "Director Li? Are you listening?"

Li Bing had to temporarily calm his nervous heart, press the call button, and respond: "Collect those documents carefully and bring them back to my desk. Remember, do not let anyone see them!"

"Yes, Director Li!" the male officer's voice came through the screen, and he then carefully put the documents back into the kraft envelope.

Li Bing then stood up and said to the other personnel in the command center, "Continue monitoring. Report any situation to me at any time!"

After speaking, Li Bing walked out quickly. Only after returning to his car did he call back.

As soon as the call connected, Zhang Yu questioned impatiently, "Director Li, you're being too slow!"

Li Bing's face darkened. As a director, to be complained about by an unidentified lackey in such a manner made a surge of anger rise in his heart. But on second thought, 'one must look at the master before hitting the dog,' especially since this lackey's master still held dirt on him.

Thus, Li Bing suppressed the displeasure in his heart, forced a smile, and explained, "I'm truly sorry. I was just in the command center remotely directing the search of Huang Hansheng's home, which took some time."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu immediately became energized and followed up, "Then what did you find?"

"A foreign bank card and some classified documents," Li Bing answered.

"A foreign bank card? From which bank?" Zhang Yu pressed on.

"That's not clear yet; I've already sent people to investigate. However, Huang Hansheng's son is settled in Australia, so it might be an Australian bank," Li Bing speculated.

"Hmm. What about those classified documents? What's in them?" Zhang Yu continued to probe.

"Uh, I only had a quick glance and haven't had time to look closely. But it looks like they're profiles on some officials," Li Bing spoke vaguely.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu cursed "useless" in his heart and then ordered, "You must find a way to get those documents and then dispose of them. You absolutely cannot let them leak out! Especially, you cannot let Ye Qingcheng see them! Understood?"

"Oh, oh, understood!" Li Bing agreed verbally, but in his heart, it was as if countless 'grass mud horses' were stampeding through, muttering to himself, "I want to see exactly whose profiles these are that make you so nervous."

"Also, there's something I need to convey to you regarding instructions from above," Zhang Yu added.

"Mm-hmm, go ahead."

Subsequently, Zhang Yu repeated Lei Poshan's words with some added embellishment and then asked, "Well? This little matter shouldn't be too hard for you, right?"

Li Bing grumbled inwardly: "Little matter? Snatching Huang Hansheng back from Ye Qingcheng's hands and making him keep his mouth shut—how is that a little matter? If Ye Qingcheng sets her sights on me, my position as director will be at an end." Despite thinking this, he didn't dare say a single "no."

Seeing that Li Bing didn't respond for a while, Zhang Yu threatened sharply, "Director Li, don't blame me for not warning you. If this matter is botched, those photos of yours won't be safe anymore. They might just appear on the desk of some big shot in the Capital."

"Hey, don't, don't. I didn't say I couldn't do it, it's just that this matter is indeed a bit difficult. You also know that Ye Qingcheng isn't that easy to deal with. What if I get dragged down because of Huang Hansheng's business?" Li Bing said with a bitter face.

"If it weren't difficult, would we need you? I could do it myself! Remember, act as quickly as possible! The longer you delay, the more clues Ye Qingcheng will get. If Huang Hansheng talks, your time as director will be over! Understood?" Zhang Yu said mercilessly.

Seeing that the other party didn't take him seriously at all, Li Bing had no choice but to respond, "I understand, I'll handle it as soon as possible."

"Good. That's more like it. Alright, that's all for now. I'll contact you again if anything comes up! Remember, call back faster next time; I don't have much patience!" After saying that, Zhang Yu hung up the phone.

Li Bing lowered his phone, his heart burning with rage, wishing he could smash the phone to pieces. He cursed in a low voice, "Motherfucker, you just wait!"

After venting, Li Bing composed himself, opened the car door, and got out. He looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to him before walking toward the office building.

...

However, what he never expected was that the moment he stepped out of the office building again, Han Hao, in the Security Bureau's underground Safe House, had already quietly taken over the Modu Branch's surveillance System.

As luck would have it, Han Hao's surveillance screen happened to capture Li Bing hurriedly walking out of the office building and diving into his car.

This scene immediately triggered Han Hao's alertness. He quickly manipulated the camera to lock onto Li Bing's car. Just like that, the scene of Li Bing making the phone call inside the car was recorded in its entirety by Han Hao.
