"It must be done cleanly and efficiently, leaving him no chance to resist or escape."
Li Zheng nodded solemnly to indicate that he understood: "Yes, Secretary Zhao. We will make full preparations to ensure that the operation goes smoothly."
Zhao Lan waved her hand: "Go, arrest him as soon as possible. The longer this matter drags on, the worse it will be for us."
Li Zheng turned and left the office, then hurriedly ran down the stairs to a spot on the first floor.
Li Zheng quickly summoned the national security agents from the first division, distributed the arrest warrants, and made detailed plans for the arrest operation.
"Everyone remember, our target is Handong Province, and Liang Qunfeng, the former Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. We must be careful and not alert anyone else."
"The arrest operation was swift and efficient."
"Everyone, go change into civilian clothes."
The team members agreed in unison, their eyes shining with determination.
They set out in a grand procession, changed into civilian clothes, and drove SUVs out of the National Security Bureau headquarters.
We sped onto the highway and headed towards Jingzhou City.
. . . . . .
Two hours later, in a high-end residential area in Jingzhou City.
The arrest operation was launched swiftly, and Li Zheng led his team straight to Liang Qunfeng's residence.
Throughout the journey, they remained highly vigilant, always prepared to deal with any unexpected situations.
Finally, they arrived at Liang Qunfeng's residence. Li Zheng gestured for his team members to spread out and surround the entire residence.
He took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
Li Zheng pretended to be a gas pipeline company and said, "Hello, we are from the gas pipeline company. We'd like to check your form."
The waiting time seemed to stretch on endlessly, and Li Zheng's heart began to race.
Finally, the door opened. An elderly man with graying temples appeared in the doorway; it was Liang Qunfeng.
Li Zheng flashed the arrest warrant and said loudly, "Liang Qunfeng, we are from the State Security Department of Handong Province. You are under arrest. Come with us."
Liang Qunfeng's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he tried to resist. However, Li Zheng and his teammates had already quickly subdued him.
"What right do you have to arrest me? My son-in-law is Qi Tongwei!" Liang Qunfeng shouted, his voice trembling with emotion.
Li Zheng sneered: "Based on your suspected illegal and criminal activities, accepting huge bribes, and acting as a protector for others, this is an arrest warrant. You have the right to remain silent, and everything you say can be used as evidence in court."
After saying that, Li Zheng signaled to his team members to take Liang Qunfeng into the car and quickly leave the scene.
The entire arrest operation was swift and efficient, without any unnecessary delays.
Liang Qunfeng was also hooded and pinned down by an SUV.
The car quickly drove away from the residential area and disappeared into the night.
This operation by the National Security Bureau has undoubtedly caused a huge shock to the officialdom of Jingzhou City.
. . . . .
At that moment, Qi Tongwei was in a luxurious villa when he received a phone call.
A hurried voice came from the other end of the phone: "Director Qi, something bad has happened. Your father-in-law, Liang Qunfeng (Li Liaozhao), has been taken away by the National Security Bureau."
Qi Tongwei's face instantly turned ashen. He abruptly hung up the phone, stood up, and paced back and forth in the living room.
Liang Qunfeng was actually quite happy about being arrested.
"Over the years, Qi Tongwei has suffered enough humiliation in the Liang family."
Liang Qunfeng did not leave his political resources to Qi Tongwei, but to his two sons.
However, Qi Tongwei also understood that even if he didn't help in this situation, he still had to pretend to make a few phone calls.
He took a deep breath, picked up his phone, and dialed a number.
A steady voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
Qi Tongwei said in a deep voice, "It's me, Qi Tongwei. I want to ask what crime my father-in-law committed? Has a case been filed?"
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, he said, "Tongwei, you should know about the confidentiality regulations. I'm just a lowly deputy director of an office in the National Security Bureau."
“I cannot inquire about the case; that would be a mistake.”
Qi Tongwei gave a wry smile: "Sorry to bother you."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei simply turned off his phone and cut off all contact with the outside world.
140. Chen Hai was sentenced to eighteen years, and Chen Yanshi vomited blood.

At home, Liang Lu was like a cat on a hot tin roof. She frantically called Qi Tongwei 35 times, but all the calls went unanswered.
"Qi Tongwei!! You're just letting someone die."
Liang Lu lost control of her emotions and forcefully threw her phone away. Then she overturned the glass coffee table in front of her and roared.
Desperate to save her elderly father, Liang Lu had lost her mind. She ran back to her room, found her phone, and dialed Wu Huifen's number.
She was Gao Yuliang's lover and Liang Lu's friend from Handong University.
After ringing a few times, the call was finally answered.
“Teacher Wu, it’s me, Liang Lu.” Liang Lu said urgently, her voice trembling with tears. “Could you please help me contact Secretary Yu Liang? I have something urgent to discuss with him.”
Wu Huifen noticed that Liang Lu's voice sounded off and quickly asked, "Liang Lu, what's wrong? Why does your voice sound like that? Is there something you need from Secretary Gao?"
Liang Lu didn't care about anything else and told Wu Huifen everything, including the arrest of her father Liang Qunfeng and the disappearance of Qi Tongwei.
She hoped that Gao Yuliang could use his influence to help find Qi Tongwei, or at least provide some assistance.
Upon hearing this, Wu Huifen's heart tightened. She knew Gao Yuliang's character well; although he seemed cold most of the time, he was loyal and righteous in crucial moments. So she comforted Liang Lu, saying, "Liang Lu, don't worry, I'll go find Lao Gao right now and see if he can think of a solution."
After hanging up the phone, Liang Lu sat on the edge of bed 527, burying her face in her hands, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She was worried about her father's safety, and also felt angry and disappointed about Qi Tongwei's disappearance. At this moment, she could only place all her hopes on Gao Yuliang.
. . . . . .
Building No. 3, Hantong Provincial Party Committee Compound.
Wearing her pajamas, Wu Huifen hurriedly went down the stairs to the guest room on the first floor.
He knocked on the door and then pushed it open to enter.
Gao Yuliang was sitting on the armchair in the guest room, wearing glasses and holding a newspaper, looking focused. Hearing Wu Huifen's hurried footsteps, he looked up and asked in surprise, "Teacher Wu, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Wu Huifen walked up to Gao Yuliang and said with a serious expression, "Yuliang, Liang Lu just called me and said that her father, Liang Qunfeng, has been arrested and that she can't contact Qi Tongwei either. She hopes you can help her."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang frowned. He put down the newspaper in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Liang Qunfeng's arrest is no small matter. Qi Tongwei's disappearance is even more perplexing. However, since Liang Lu has come to us for help, we cannot stand idly by."
Wu Huifen nodded and said worriedly, "Yes, Liang Lu must be very anxious right now. Do you think we can think of a way to at least help her find Qi Tongwei?"
Gao Yuliang stood up, paced back and forth a few times, and then said, "Here's what we'll do: you call the Public Security Bureau first and ask them if they have any news about Qi Tongwei. I'll also contact my old friends to see if we can get any clues from them."
Upon hearing this, Wu Huifen immediately took out her phone and began dialing the Public Security Bureau. Gao Yuliang also picked up his phone and started contacting his old friends.
Time ticked by, and Wu Huifen and Gao Yuliang waited anxiously for news.
Finally, Wu Huifen's phone rang first. She answered it, listened for a few minutes, and her expression turned grim. After hanging up, she turned to Gao Yuliang and said, "The Public Security Bureau said they have no news of Qi Tongwei, and his phone has been switched off the whole time."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang's expression turned ashen. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "It seems that Qi Tongwei did this on purpose."
"It's possible that Qi Tongwei just wants to let someone die without offering any help."
Wu Huifen was stunned for a moment: "Then what should we do? Yuliang, Liang Qunfeng is still your old boss."
“He’s been arrested by the National Security Bureau…” Wu Huifen’s face showed a look of regret.
Gao Yuliang frowned: "The National Security Bureau of Handong Province is not under the jurisdiction of the Handong Provincial Party Committee. These are two separate systems."
“Zhao Lan’s temper is such that she doesn’t even give Sha Ruijin any face,” Gao Yuliang said, making a startling statement.
Wu Huifen was stunned for a moment: "No way? That's Sha Ruijin."
"Teacher Wu, do you still remember? The January 16 Incident, the live-streamed forced demolition?" Gao Yuliang slowly raised his head, his expression complicated, looking at his ex-wife who was still living with him after their divorce.
Wu Huifen nodded: "I remember, of course I remember. I also watched the live broadcast. Lin Yunfei was the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau at that time."
"He was held hostage with a dagger by workers at Dafeng Factory, and he was bleeding profusely."
Gao Yuliang looked at Wu Huifen with a serious expression and said something surprising: "Teacher Wu, there's something you don't know. The night Lin Yunfei was rescued, he was sent to the Provincial People's Hospital."
"Sha Ruijin went to visit him immediately."
"As a result... Zhao Lan blocked the door. She stubbornly refused to let Sha Ruijin see her." Gao Yuliang dropped this bombshell.
Wu Huifen couldn't help but gasp.
. . . . . .
The next day, Chen Hai's case was transferred to the Handong Provincial High Court.
The president of the High Court, Zhang Fang, personally presided over the trial using simplified procedures.
Thump! The judge's gavel fell.
"Chen Hai is guilty of bribery and possessing a huge amount of unexplained wealth. The amount of bribes he accepted was exceptionally large, and the circumstances were serious. He has lost his ideals and beliefs, and deviated from his original aspirations and mission..."
"As the Party Secretary of Guangming District, he colluded with unscrupulous businessmen..."
Zhang Fang's expression was stern, his gaze sharp. Seated in the presiding judge's seat, he announced, "The evidence is conclusive; this court will now pronounce its verdict."
"All rise!"
"Chen Hai is sentenced to life imprisonment with deprivation of political rights. The sentence is to be carried out immediately."
The courtroom was silent. Chen Hai's father and mother were pale, unable to accept this sudden verdict.
Although Chen Hai was already mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but tremble slightly when he heard the words "18 years in prison".
After the verdict was announced, bailiffs escorted Chen Hai out of the courtroom. His eyes revealed determination and defiance: "I am innocent! I am wronged, I did not embezzle 1.2 billion yuan."
