In the Name of the People: Branded a Traitor, I Shut Down the Anti-Corruption Bureau from the Start

Pei Yan is the son of Pei Yihong, a top-level official at the heart of the central government, and the youngest deputy-ministerial-level cadre under central management.

He is parachuted in to take charge of the trillion-yuan Zhongfu Group, while secretly holding a controlling stake in Beiji Heavy Industries, a national treasure.

At the time, Hou Liangping has just arrived in Handong. In an attempt to make a show of authority, he recklessly oversteps his jurisdiction and arrests Beiji Heavy Industries' chief engineer!

Faced with the Anti-Corruption Bureau's show of force, Pei Yan doesn't even bother negotiating. He mobilizes armed special forces, and dozens of military-registered armored vehicles surround the Handong Supreme People's Procuratorate!

The gates are blasted open, and dozens of submachine guns are pointed straight at Hou Liangping's head.

Hou Liangping glares furiously. "I'm a division chief at the Supreme People's Procuratorate. You dare obstruct an investigation?"

Pei Yan smacks a top-secret red-headed document against his face. "The man you arrested has the core blueprints for a fifth-generation fighter jet engine! Your jurisdictional overreach cut off communications for a national heavy-industry project for five hours!"

"You want to talk anti-corruption? I'm now formally arresting you on suspicion of espionage and treason!"

Zhong Xiaoai collapses to the ground in fright. Sha Ruijin stays up all night writing a self-criticism, while Li Dakang trembles in fear.

With the full force of the state behind him, Pei Yan crushes Handong in a one-sided display of power!
