detention room,
Lu Zhilian, Hada, and Ma Yaozu were resting on the stone bench in the detention room. Everyone was already very tired.
The schedule that was supposed to last until the morning was now overdue.
Lu Zhilian never rested, he fell asleep uneasily...
The door to the detention room was opened...
"babble…"
Yu Hongsheng came here. Lu Zhilian just woke up. When he saw Yu Hongsheng, he said to Yu Hongsheng,
"Sir..."
"William..."
"Can we go?"
Yu Hongsheng shook his head and said to Lu Zhilian,
"There is sufficient evidence, and there are videos..."
"In addition, after sneaking into Hu Zhiyong's home, the superiors have reason to judge that your behavior exceeds the rules and regulations, so..."
"William, you may have to wait here for a moment."
"Don't worry, I've already taken care of the matter at the embassy, and you won't be charged."
"Mrs. Fan, she asked you to wait here for two days..."
“…”
Lu Zhilian pursed his lips, stood up and said to Yu Hongsheng,
"Do they know what will happen to this matter?"
"It's useless for me to find out..."
"But, apart from me, there are many people in the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Let's not talk about the ICAC, let's talk about the police office. There are more than 100,000 people in the police office. Why doesn't anyone pay attention to it?"
"Did I make a mistake?"
"What's wrong with the check?"
Lu Zhilian had many grievances, and he said to Yu Hongsheng,
"The ICAC will ask people to investigate me..."
"That Mrs. Fan..."
Yu Hongsheng pursed his lips and looked at Lu Zhilian. He knew that Lu Zhilian had a lot of dissatisfaction.
But he has already agreed. If Lu Zhilian doesn't stop, Lu Zhilian will face charges from the police station.
"William, calm down."
"I was the one who asked Ji Quan to check you."
Lu Zhilian looked at Yu Hongsheng in astonishment. Yu Hongsheng pursed his lips. He looked at Lu Zhilian and said,
"This case is very sensitive. I don't want you to find out halfway through and suddenly a bunch of dark material about you is placed in front of me..."
"It prevents us from investigating the case."
Lu Zhilian's eyes blinked. He couldn't digest the news for a while.
He never expected it to be Yu Hongsheng, and at the same time, he also never expected...
The first key to investigating a case is to be clean enough. Even if you have a criminal record and want to reform, you will not be able to investigate some cases that your superiors do not want you to investigate.
Fortunately, he is doing the right thing...
Lu Zhilian sighed, and Shen Jiquan brought up the incident in Haojiang.
If it was Fan Luo Peifang who called Shen Jiquan, he might not be able to investigate the case.
Haojiang Nashan's "secret meeting" with Lin Zishe and catching people's shadows were enough to waste his time and effort.
The ICAC, the Third Division, the Security Bureau, and the embassy, all four departments tried their best to prevent him from continuing to investigate...
at the same time…
There is also Linzi Club as a club...
Lu Zhilian couldn't speak for a long time. He just looked at Yu Hongsheng and said to Yu Hongsheng,
"I understand."
“…”
Yu Hongsheng took a deep breath. The reason why he called Group L and Lu Zhilian was because he wanted to protect him. At the same time, there was indeed something suspicious about Lu Zhilian...
Haojiang…
Yu Hongsheng didn't want anything to go wrong with Lu Zhilian, nor did he want anything to go wrong with Lu Zhilian...
Yu Hongsheng wanted to tell Lu Zhilian something,
The rules are cold.
Lu Zhilian is very capable of doing things, but not mature enough...
In Yu Hongsheng's view, Lu Zhilian was not mature enough. He exhaled and said to Lu Zhilian,
"I also worked hard on this case..."
"We are a law enforcement department with power, but power corrupts people, so we have Group L of the ICAC to monitor ourselves..."
"Prevent abuse of power."
"This is to put power in a cage."
"It's not about whether you believe it or not. Sometimes, asking someone to check you is also a form of protection."
Lu Zhilian nodded understandingly, knowing what Yu Hongsheng wanted to say to him.
The regulations are cold and there is no such thing as belief or disbelief. Only after checking it can you be sure and believe it.
Personal subjectivity is the last thing that should appear in the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Everything must follow procedures.
At the same time, Fan Luo Peifang operates within the rules. When you are the director of the investigation commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, you should expect what will happen.
Things within the regulations are not something to complain about, but to endure...
Lu Zhilian understood, but that didn't mean he could feel relieved. He said to Yu Hongsheng,
“It’s stressful to be checked when you’re clean.”
"I just want to investigate the case..."
"I just want to investigate the case..."
Lu Zhilian raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the detention room. He was very frustrated at this time and said to Yu Hongsheng,
"Sir Yu, shouldn't I have investigated this case from the beginning?"
Yu Hongsheng shook his head and said to Lu Zhilian,
"Should check..."
“But think about what you’re going to face.”
"It doesn't matter if you lose this time, it will be fine if you win next time."
Lu Zhilian: "..."
Lu Zhilian looked at Yu Hongsheng. Yu Hongsheng didn't want to investigate anymore and wanted to give up on this matter. It must have something to do with the higher-ups.
Yu Hongsheng changed in his heart...
Yu Hongsheng is not as upright as he seems on the surface. It seems that everyone will change when he gets there.
Yu Hongsheng looked at Lu Zhilian with a pursed lips and a smile. He didn't know what Lu Zhilian was thinking. He smiled and said to Lu Zhilian,
"There are still 6 months..."
"6 months?"
Yu Hongsheng pursed his lips, nodded and said to Lu Zhilian,
"The [Z Storm] plan is taken very seriously by the superiors and has been discussed several times."
"It's not what you think. There's a lot of corruption and bribery at the top, and all of it is helping the Z Fund to deal with you, William."
"Including Mrs. Fan, Mrs. Fan is very supportive of your actions..."
Yu Hongsheng took two steps and said to Lu Zhilian seriously,
"None of us are stupid."
"The funds from the Z Fund will be transferred to the supervision account. In 6 months, everyone will be able to watch the operation of the Z Fund. If there is a problem..."
"The funds of Z Fund will be frozen directly..."
"The superiors were well prepared. Before you submitted the report, the superiors had already established a supervision account for Z Fund."
"It's just that you want to check and insist on checking, so I'll check it for you."
"The regulations make things difficult for you, just to express their dissatisfaction. The fact that you can get through it is because of your strength."
Yu Hongsheng felt that Lu Zhilian should be able to understand him now that he had said it.
If he went out and Lu Zhilian still wanted to investigate, he would investigate for Lu Zhilian.
"If you lose, you admit defeat. If you win, they will clap."
"William..."
"I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow."
Lu Zhilian's eyes were glowing again,
The superiors actually had their own plans, and they were not trying their best to cover up the matter, nor was it all a one-man rush as I thought.
Yu Hongsheng patted Lu Zhilian on the shoulder and said to Lu Zhilian,
"William. I'm leaving first. See you in two days..."
"See you in 2 days."
Yu Hongsheng left the detention room and went out to the mission station to look at the sun.
He pursed his lips and turned to look at the embassy here.
There are not all "good people" in the system, at least the Financial Secretary is not as good as he says.
The Financial Secretary, as the leader of the Z Fund’s investment in the Care Fund, does not want someone like Lu Zhilian to exist, even if problems are found
I shouldn’t say one department, but many departments now. Their approach is...
When something goes wrong, we cover it up, not face it, or take responsibility for it.
Keep all the leadership in their own hands and prevent others from contacting them to disrupt their "doing style" in order to maintain their position.
Xiangjiang lacks people like Lu Zhilian. It also lacks people who are truly responsible, people who really want to change Hong Kong, and people who really want to do things. (End of chapter)
