"Mengmeng..."

Seeing Gu Mengsheng walk down the stairs,

Shangguan Shoudong called out worriedly.

Gu Mengsheng walked directly to Chen Fang.

She grasped his hand and said in a trembling voice, "Ah Fang, please, no matter what, you have to help clear my parents' names, can you?"

These words.

Chen Fang couldn't refuse.

He could only nod.

Then.

Gu Mengsheng walked over to Shangguan Shoudong.

At this moment, her eyes were already moist.

"Uncle Shangguan, I know, you are the one who loves me most in this world. Under your care, every day of my life has been happy. Thank you for raising me all these years. Before I die, I have only one wish, and that is to see the person who harmed my parents brought to justice. I beg you..."

Upon saying this.

Gu Mengsheng's knees weakened, and she was about to kneel.

She was held up by Shangguan Shoudong.

He said, somewhat emotionally, "Mengmeng... avenging your parents is also a wish I've held for years. I'm just afraid... afraid for you..."

"It's alright."

Gu Mengsheng shook her head vigorously.

She said, "It's really alright. This is something that makes me very happy. Even if... even if I go to heaven later and see them, I can report back to them, can't I?"

Such words.

Made Chen Fang feel somewhat uncomfortable inside.

After a moment of silence.

Shangguan Shoudong nodded.

He let out a long sigh.

He called towards the door, "Secretary Li, come in for a moment."

Li Chong, who had been waiting at the door, walked in and asked respectfully, "Leader, are you looking for me?"

"Go call Zhao Lincuan. Meet in my office in an hour."

Shangguan Shoudong said.

Zhao Lincuan?

Hearing this name.

Chen Fang's heart skipped a beat.

Who is Zhao Lincuan?

He's the Supreme Disciplinary Committee Secretary.

Meeting with him means Shangguan Shoudong has made up his mind to take action.

"Yes! I'll arrange it now."

After responding.

Li Chong turned and left the room.

Shangguan Shoudong led Gu Mengsheng to the sofa to sit down.

Chen Fang suddenly recalled a scene he saw at the hotel before coming over.

After hesitating for a moment.

He still grit his teeth and said, "Leader, there is another very important matter I need to report to you."

"Speak."

Shangguan Shoudong nodded and said.

"Have you heard of the Heavenly Appearance Sect?"

Chen Fang asked.

Shangguan Shoudong looked confused and asked, "What is the Heavenly Appearance Sect?"

Chen Fang briefly described the situation about the Heavenly Appearance Sect that he had seen firsthand.

Shangguan Shoudong's brow furrowed immediately.

He asked, "You mean the Heavenly Appearance Sect is growing fast and has spread to multiple provinces already?"

"The situation might be even worse. From what I have gathered, it may have already spread nationwide, and many government officials have joined the Heavenly Appearance Sect. I personally experienced it once. Those so-called believers seemed obsessed, deeply convinced of the sect, and wouldn't hesitate to offer their bodies without a blink..."

The situation has become so urgent.

Yet they, in high positions, are completely unaware.

Moreover, Chen Fang said that the Heavenly Appearance Sect started in Yong'an Province and has been developing for many years.

And in Yong'an Province, no one has ever reported similar cases.

This indicates that there must be someone behind the Heavenly Appearance Sect.

Thinking of this.

Shangguan Shoudong asked, "Is this the matter you wanted to report?"

Chen Fang shook his head.

He said, "A cult isn't frightening enough. Before I came, I seemed to see Hou Yuanzheng, and he met with Lin Run, the founder of the Heavenly Appearance Sect, at the hotel."

"What did you say?"

Shangguan Shoudong suddenly stood up.

Surprising Gu Mengsheng beside him.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Hou Yuanzheng has been detained. How can he appear in the hotel? You must be mistaken."

Shangguan Shoudong said confidently.

Chen Fang shook his head.

He said, "I hope I'm wrong too, but I studied Chinese medicine as a child. Although I didn't see the face, I'm skilled at observing bone structure. Normally, there's no way I would be mistaken."

Shangguan Shoudong's breathing.

Clearly became more rapid.

He hurriedly walked into his study.

Picked up the red fixed phone on the desk, dialed a short number, and the call at the other end was quickly answered.

Then.

He pressed the speakerphone button.

The purpose was for Chen Fang to hear as well.

"This is Shangguan Shoudong."

Before the other party could speak.

Shangguan Shoudong said.

The other side clearly became panicked.

Responded, "Hello, Mr. Shangguan, this is Xiao Zhengliang."

"I want to ask you, where is Hou Yuanzheng right now?"

"Hou Yuanzheng? Seems to be at the 401 Detention Center."

Responded Xiao Zhengliang on the phone.

It's worth noting.

The 401 Detention Center is located in Yuanjing.

It is specifically used for detaining high-ranking officials before sentencing.

Hearing this, Shangguan Shoudong became enraged and shouted, "What do you mean 'seems to be at 401'? You need to give me a precise answer, where is he right now?"

"He is at the 401 Detention Center."

Xiao Zhengliang replied.

Shangguan Shoudong took a deep breath.

He calmed his tone.

Said, "Alright, I understand."

Then, he hung up the phone.

Looking at Chen Fang standing in front of him, he said, "The 401 Detention Center is under the supervision of the Supreme Procuratorate, and every detainee inside is strictly monitored by multiple departments. Its impossible for someone to get out, so you must be mistaken."

"I hope so."

Chen Fang said with relief.

To be honest.

He also preferred to believe he was mistaken.

After all, if Hou Yuanzhe could leave the 401 Detention Center.

It would mean the highest state enforcement agency is nothing but a façade.

Returning to the sofa, Shangguan Shoudong.

Seemed somewhat worried.

He furrowed his brows and contemplated for a while.

Said, "Let's not talk about Hou Yuanzhe's matter for now. I'll have people investigate it carefully, but the situation with the Heavenly Appearance Sect can't be left unchecked any longer."

After saying this.

He looked at Chen Fang sitting across from him.

Said, "Here's the plan, let's set aside the issues in Jiuhai Province for now. You take a trip back home, deal with the Heavenly Appearance Sect issue first, then return to Jiuhai Province, how about that?"

Of course, Chen Fang knew.

The so-called trip home didn't mean just visiting his family.

Shangguan Shoudong's intention was certainly to transfer him to Yong'an Province.

"I'll follow your orders, Leader."

Without a second thought, Chen Fang responded directly.

Shangguan Shoudong nodded.

Said, "In a while, I'll discuss it with Secretary Zhao, first give you the title of Deputy Secretary of the Jiuhe Province Disciplinary Committee, completing the transition from deputy bureau to principal bureau level, then transfer a group of people for you to use. After you return, first handle the case of Fang Yixiu. Once this matter is resolved, you go to Yong'an Province, as for the specific position, I'll consider it further."
