Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Chapter 277 Bai Jingwen's summary concludes

Because the Public Security Bureau guaranteed the safety of Mr. Qian and Wu Tianliang's family.

Wu Tianliang ultimately chose to confess.

All the plans were instigated by Li Dakang's secretary, Ou Ming.

Wu Tianliang was merely someone who accepted the mission and made the necessary contacts to carry it out.

He also stated that he had hidden a USB drive in the cracks between the bricks in his house.

It contains a recording of a conversation between Li Dakang's secretary and him.

Li Gangxin immediately sent people to search for it, and they found it quickly.

"Remember... to give the new secretary... a surprise..."

After technical comparison, the audio recording matched Li Dakang's secretary by more than 95%.

Li Gangxin was greatly encouraged and immediately reported to Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei ordered the immediate arrest of Li Dakang's secretary.

If there's anything you need, let Li Dakang come and talk to him directly.

Having obtained this crucial evidence, Li Gangxin prepared to lead his team on their journey.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask Wu Tianliang about his sudden fainting.

Wu Tianliang stated that during his detention, in addition to his daily meals, he was forced to take a set of medications, which were supposedly health supplements.

In retrospect, this is the culprit that caused Wu Tianliang, who was always in good health, to suddenly fall ill and be admitted to the ICU.

Luo Jian's sinister intentions sent chills down Li Gangxin's spine.

Immediately afterwards, Li Gangxin, together with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Procuratorate, arrested Li Dakang's secretary, Ou Ming, right in front of him.

No matter how powerful Li Dakang was, he wouldn't dare to openly contradict these three departments with law enforcement authority.

He could only stare blankly, spouting platitudes about absolute cooperation while glaring at the task force as they left.

Upon returning, he faced repeated interrogations from Li Gangxin and Lü Liang.

Ou Ming acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

It wasn't until Li Gangxin produced the USB drive that things changed.

The recording was released.

Ou Mingcai realized with a start that something terrible was about to happen.

If we can get our hands on this recording, then that means...

Wu Tianliang couldn't hold on.

They've already switched sides and chosen to cooperate with the task force.

Lü Liang quickly won over hearts and minds.

He said the chain of evidence is becoming increasingly complete, and no one can escape the law.

The people behind Ou Ming, seeing that Boss Qian was no longer of any use, disposed of him.

Ou Ming, who was taken away, didn't have much value left.

Who knows, the next person to commit suicide might be Ou Ming!

These words made Ou Ming tremble all over, and he struggled to keep his body from going limp, remaining silent.

Seeing this, Li Gangxin added a precise retort:

"Didn't you notice the chilling, murderous look in Li Dakang's eyes before we got in the car?"

Ou Ming finally shuddered.

Then, he asked seriously:

"If I say this, can you protect my family?"

Li Gangxin nodded and said:

"Of course, we've already sent people to patrol your neighborhood secretly."

Seeing this, Ou Ming lowered his head and said:

Give me some time.

Li Gangxin and Lü Liang exchanged a glance and then left.

Thus, Xia Qing's plan to create a terrifying atmosphere has achieved very good results.

Both families provided crucial information.

Wu Tianliang successfully spoke.

Ou Ming is hesitating, but it will probably be soon.

Just as the task force was waiting for Ou Ming.

Luo Jian found Cheng Zhaohui.

He argued that Li Gangxin's actions showed a lack of respect for Cheng Zhaohui, the executive deputy director-general.

They wanted Cheng Zhaohui to get rid of Li Gangxin and personally take charge of interrogating Ou Ming.

In this way, Luo Jian could use some means to eliminate discordant voices within the Public Security Bureau for Cheng Zhaohui, thereby greatly enhancing Cheng Zhaohui's prestige.

Secure your position as executive director.

The condition is that Cheng Zhaohui must conduct a secret interrogation, and everything Ou Ming says must first be presented to Luo Jian for review.

Then Luo Jian will decide which parts can be included in the report and which should be left out.

"Director Cheng, this is a great opportunity. With the support of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, you'll have a smooth career in the Public Security Bureau, and may even advance further. What do you say?"

After listening attentively, Cheng Zhaohui smiled and said:

"Thank you for your kind offer, Secretary Luo, but I'm really not suited to be a policeman."

Luo Jian raised an eyebrow, thinking he had misheard, and asked suspiciously:

"What?"

"I said, I'm not suited to be a policeman." Cheng Zhaohui stood up, straightened his police uniform, and said:

"Therefore, I can't let my brothers who are suited to be police officers down. Secretary Luo, farewell."

After speaking, Cheng Zhaohui slowly put on the hat on the table, faced the police badge in front of him directly at Luo Jian, nodded in acknowledgment, and left the office.

Only Luo Jian remained, stunned in place.

After a long pause, he spat out a vicious spit.

……

The day Ou Ming confessed.

Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai questioned him personally.

Xia Qing and Tian Guofu personally oversaw operations from the command center.

When Ou Ming's figure slowly appeared on the big screen.

Everyone held their breath, hoping to hear some key names from him.

After hesitating for a long time, Ou Ming finally spoke:

"I confess, I did it all. Comrade Bai Jingwen was framed by me."

These words immediately caused a huge uproar.

Ou Ming admitted that Bai Jingwen had been framed.

This is undoubtedly a huge gain.

But Ou Ming actually took all the responsibility upon himself.

His actions were exactly the same as Wu Tianliang's.

Qi Tongwei naturally didn't believe it and pressed further, asking who had instructed Ou Ming to speak so boldly.

Ou Ming shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"It was all my doing. I colluded with Wu Tianliang and Boss Qian to make money and wanted to make Bai Jingwen a scapegoat."

Chen Hai emphasized:

"Don't worry, Ou Ming. Your family has been taken into custody by the police. What you need to do now is to tell us the whole truth and help us sweep away the evil and restore justice to Guangming District."

Ou Ming's tone became even more resolute:

"I told you, it was me. I did it all. I'm the mastermind behind it all. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

Qi Tongwei fell silent and looked at Chen Hai.

Chen Hai could only continue to press for answers.

The two-hour interrogation left Xia Qing and Tian Guofu at the command center with furrowed brows.

Clearly, Ou Ming is here to take the blame.

But what can you do if he just won't reveal who's behind it all?

Just how strong is the threat that Ou Ming is facing?

It was astonishing that he would willingly take on everything and become the mastermind behind framing Bai Jingwen.

Xia Qing then contacted Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai in the interrogation room via microphone:

"Alright, let's end this here. We won't get anything out of you."

Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai looked at each other, then reluctantly announced the end of the questioning.

Ou Ming gave a bitter laugh and murmured:

"This is the right thing to do, and it's good for everyone."

Xia Qing and Tian Guofu reported the results to Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijin was very dissatisfied with this; he was unwilling to accept that he had not heard the name of the mastermind from Ou Ming.

Even if everyone knows who that person is, without evidence, they can only accuse Ou Ming of wrongdoing.

Tian Guofu comforted him, saying:

"Fortunately, we managed to save Bai Jingwen. He can continue to serve in the Bright District and be our sharpest weapon."

Xia Qing also said:

"The case of Bai Jingwen being framed clearly involves the Zhou and Xu families. We need to send more people and plan this carefully."

Sha Ruijin nodded and waved his hand, saying:

"Go and release the investigation results so that Bai Jingwen can return to work as soon as possible."
