Director Jia smiled and said, “This is a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding. Director Han, don’t be impulsive.”

He stepped forward and pulled onto Han Qingsong’s wrist, trying hard to grab Zhao Anpin.

Once Han Qingsong’s hand clasped something, the grip would be similar to an eagle’s claws—no one could break it off.

Director Jia was very embarrassed and smiled, “Director Han, please let me speak with you for a moment.”

Han Qingsong said, “Director, I want to make a report about Zhao Anpin. How much is his salary a month? How can he be that resourceful to the point of bribing a Commune cadre?”

Han Qingsong shook out the contents of the bag and laid out a table full of ‘colorful’ objects.

Sun Zhuowen subconsciously touched his pocket, which also contained a couple of cloth and food tickets.

Director Jia was even more embarrassed.

Han Qingsong said righteously, “His behavior is a hundred times worse than that of Zhao Jianshe and he is an official…”

“Han Qingsong, don’t you dare shove your words into my mouth! What’s wrong with me taking it out to count them? How can you frame me when you see me counting and enviously desire it?!” Zhao Anpin was already at a loss for words, “You are not qualified to arrest me; I belong to the County. “

Sun Zhuowen secretly scolded Zhao Anpin for being an idiot in his heart,”Director Han, we truly don’t have the authority to arrest him.”

He was about to shoot for the stars already. Han Qingsong is truly a man of arrogance. Did he truly think that he was a hotshot Director or something?

To have a corrupted Director as the head, the County’s cadres wouldn’t be much better off.

Not even the Director of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the Director of the Grains Management Office received such a nice treatment from Zhao Anpin! At most, Han Qingsong was merely a Director of Public Security. Yet, what was he trying to do? At this point, it would be better to get a new official on the job.

Zhao Anpin really felt like he had already treated Han Qingsong with much generosity as he didn’t even give himself this much of a gift all this time!

What a problem; I must report this to Director Li!

Han Qingsong, “So you didn’t come to plead for Zhao Jianshe?”

Zhao Anpin was almost speechless ; it was as if he had been stabbed.

Han Qingsong: “You came to my office to see me alone, not to plead for Zhao Jianshe. Instead, it was just to… count your tickets?”

Crowd, “…”

Zhao Anpin was unable to keep his frustration and thoughts in his head. He broke his calm facade and shouted, “So what if that is the case? I can count where I want! Who’s going to control what I do? Who is daring enough to detain me?”

Han Qingsong said coldly, “But it is an irrefutable fact that you are the one who was caught.”

“Director Han, Director Han, let’s talk this out calmly,” Huang Weizhong hurriedly stepped forward to smoothen the tense atmosphere. He wanted Han Qingsong to calm down, advising him not to stoop as low as Zhao Anpin’s level.

Han Qingsong let go of Zhao Anpin in the end. Although Zhao Anpin’s narrative from attempted bribery to a money-counting session sounded naive and fake, he also somehow managed to slip out of the accusation of giving benefits to Han Qingsong.

Even if it was suspected that the origin of his possessions were unknown, the Commune didn’t have any authority to control him. Any other further actions would only be able to be done in the County.

And it wasn’t Han Qingsong who had the final say when it came to the decisions made in the County.
