Starting as a town mayor, he rose through the ranks.

The two policemen sitting outside the operating room frowned slightly when they saw him standing there.

One of the policemen stared at him and demanded, "What are you doing standing here?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo didn't reveal his identity. After thinking for a moment, he took out a cigarette and then tried to strike up a conversation with the two policemen: "I'm waiting here for a doctor to perform surgery. What are you two officers doing here too?"

Seeing that the cigarette in his hand was a Huazi brand, the two policemen's expressions softened, and they took the cigarette and lit it.

The policeman who had just questioned Luo Zhiguo exhaled a smoke ring and then said, "A criminal suspect is undergoing surgery, and we're here on a mission..."

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashed in Luo Zhiguo's eyes. He guessed that the suspect the two were referring to must be Wang Hengyue.

I never expected that some people would be so bold as to treat the members of the provincial discipline inspection commission's inspection team as criminal suspects.

It seems that if I hadn't called Xu Yucheng on the way here, Wang Hengyue probably wouldn't have brought me to the hospital.

"What is this criminal suspect you're talking about, and why was he brought in for surgery?"

Suppressing his anger, he looked at the two policemen. Luckily, he had two unopened packs of cigarettes in his bag.

He then took it out and handed it over, then asked with a feigned curiosity.

Seeing that he had given them cigarettes, both policemen smiled. Their attitude towards him became much more polite. One of the policemen said, "That man is from the provincial capital. He was secretly investigating something in various towns and villages, and then he was arrested..."

Although the policeman only briefly explained the situation, Luo Zhiguo could guess what was going on.

Wang Hengyue and Sun Tao were secretly investigating and collecting evidence in various towns and villages of Xinying County when they were discovered by Yan Chang'an, the brother-in-law of County Magistrate Fu Guanghua.

Then, they used their connections to arrest the two men. Because they had Fu Guanghua backing them up, they were not afraid of anyone in Xinying County.

After learning the identities of the two individuals, he ordered the police to take action, presumably to silence them.

But it was only after County Party Secretary Xu Yucheng intervened that those people finally sent Wang Hengyue to the hospital.

However, they did not let Wang Hengyue off the hook because of this, and directly treated Wang Hengyue as a criminal suspect.

It is evident that County Magistrate Fu Guanghua was practically a local tyrant in Xinying County.

Having learned enough, Luo Zhiguo turned around and went to greet He Yan as she walked over from not far away.

"Team leader! I've investigated, and Wang Hengyue has ruptured internal organs; his injuries are extremely serious. If he had been brought here half an hour later, he would be dead..."

He Yan angrily recounted what she had learned from the doctor about Wang Hengyue.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his face turned extremely grim. "Let's go!"

After calming himself down and giving He Yan a word of instruction, Luo Zhiguo turned and left.

Wang Hengyue is now considered a criminal suspect and is under police surveillance, so they have no way of contacting him.

Rather than exposing yourself here, it's better to go back and figure out a solution first.

Back at the county guesthouse, Sun Tao was successfully picked up by He Jun and Jiang Gu.

Luo Zhiguo briefly instructed the group not to act rashly to avoid alerting the enemy, and then returned to his room.

In the room, he frowned, wondering who he should call for help.

Given the current situation, the police chief must be in cahoots with Fu Guanghua, otherwise Xu Yucheng, the county party secretary, would have already made the phone call.

The police also treated Wang Hengyue as a criminal suspect, and there were police officers strictly guarding him.

Therefore, the person we need to find now is, after all, a leader in the political and legal system; otherwise, they simply cannot control the director of the Xinyingxian Public Security Bureau.

However, a problem arises: he has some connections with the Jianghai Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, but not with the Public Security Bureau, and they even have some conflicts.

The reason was that when he was in Ningshui County, he didn't give face to the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Jianghai City, which caused a conflict. "Hello, Team Leader! The situation in Xinying County is very bad..."

Having no other option, he called Xie Hongbo and briefly explained the situation.

After hearing his words, Xie Hongbo's expression became very serious, because the situation was more serious than he had expected.

"Zhiguo! Do you have any plans?"

After thinking for a moment, he asked in a deep voice.

After gathering his thoughts, Luo Zhiguo said in a deep voice, "Team leader! I originally wanted to use the power of the political and legal system to stabilize the situation first and transfer Wang Hengyue to the provincial capital for treatment. But after thinking it over, I couldn't think of anyone I knew in the political and legal system. So I think our inspection team should directly enter Xinying County and openly investigate the matter of Fu Guanghua's brother-in-law. In this way, the situation will be stabilized immediately..."

After hearing his plan, Xie Hongbo frowned, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "I agree with your plan. Here's what we'll do: I'll report this matter to the higher-ups immediately, and then we'll transfer some police officers from the provincial department to assist you..."

"Yes, team leader!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

After ending the call, he thought for a moment and then called Guan Wenbin.

"What's wrong, kid!"

Guan Wenbin's voice came through. "Mayor! This is serious..."

Luo Zhiguo recounted the situation with a grave expression.

"Hmph! It seems Fu Guanghua has already treated Xinying County as his own backyard..."

After hearing his words, even though he knew that Fu Guanghua was usually very arrogant because Fu Yuansheng, the provincial organization minister, was his uncle, he understood that Fu Guanghua was very domineering.

But I never expected him to be so arrogant that even the inspection team treated him this way.

"Zhiguo! What are you planning to do?"

After a moment, he asked in a deep voice.

"Investigate Fu Guanghua's brother-in-law to resolve the current predicament..."

Luo Zhiguo replied in a cold voice.

Guan Wenbin remained silent for about a minute before speaking in a deep voice: "It seems Jianghai City is about to be in turmoil again. Zhiguo, in handling this matter, if we can focus on the major issues and let the minor ones go, then we should. We shouldn't let Jianghai City become so passive..."

"Yes, Mayor!"

Luo Zhiguo agreed, and then the two ended the call. "Ring ring ring..."

Just as he hung up the phone, it rang.

Seeing that it was Xie Hongbo calling, he quickly answered, "Hello, team leader!"

"Zhiguo! I've already reported to Secretary Qiao and Secretary Tong. Secretary Tong is in charge of communicating with the provincial department, and Secretary Qiao has sent people from the First Discipline Inspection Office to Xinying County to assist your investigation..."

Xie Hongbo's voice came through.

Luo Zhiguo was overjoyed. He hadn't expected his superiors to be so supportive, not only sending police officers from the provincial department but also personnel from the Discipline Inspection Office to assist him.

Now that we have a solid foundation, we no longer need to worry about the influence of Fu Guanghua in Xinying County.

"Thank you, team leader! Thank you, Secretary Qiao and Secretary Tong, for your strong support..."

After calming himself down, he thanked Xie Hongbo on the other end of the phone, and also expressed his gratitude to Qiao Zheng and Tong Wu.
