Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Yan Qingshan was trembling with rage. These people were utterly shameless. Didn't they even look at the materials in their hands? They were completely clueless.

Yan Qingshan was furious. He couldn't let these people smear Lin Ying's reputation, and he couldn't let Lin Ying be stabbed in the back while fighting on the front lines. He stood up abruptly: "County Chief Zhao, Minister Hong, I ask you to carefully review the whistleblower's materials before speaking. The materials submitted by Pan Liting are completely fabricated. I have already sent people to investigate. Director Lin and Li Jianmin have never met before. Her claim that Director Lin is seeking retaliation is entirely baseless."

"Comrade Qingshan, why are you so agitated? Of course we've seen the materials. If we hadn't, why would we be here at the meeting, right? We would never wrong her."

"Yes, Secretary Qingshan, please sit down. We will not wrong a good comrade, nor will we let any comrade with problems go unpunished. Please sit down." Ma Guoliang gestured for him to sit down.

Yan Qingshan was so angry that he slammed back into his chair.

"Regarding Li Jianmin's wife, Pan Liting's, report that Comrade Lin Ying was seeking revenge, I believe the evidence is sufficient. Comrade Lin Ying's actions are indeed highly problematic. Therefore, I propose that Comrade Lin Ying immediately release Li Jianmin so he can go home as soon as possible." Upon hearing Zhao Yuma's words, Yan Qingshan was completely dumbfounded. This was probably the real purpose of today's meeting. He finally understood. What discussion about Lin Ying's report was actually just a ploy to release Li Jianmin—to rescue him?

Yan Qingshan instantly realized something was wrong, but he knew that nothing he said would make a difference. Fortunately, Lin Ying didn't attend today, otherwise she would have been furious.

"Yes, I think County Chief Zhao's suggestion is very pertinent and meets the current needs. I second it," Hong Guotao echoed.

"I second that too." In an instant, everyone except Yan Qingshan agreed to release Li Jianmin. Yan Qingshan had a bad feeling. It seemed that Ma Guoliang and the others had already discussed it. They were going to use political means to pressure Lin Ying. He wondered if she could withstand the pressure.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingshan's face turned somewhat ugly, and he began to feel anxious. He hoped that Lin Ying would not be defeated by these people, but Ma Guoliang was cunning and ruthless, and was most skilled at using such political means to harm people. He could kill without shedding blood.

What should I do? How can I notify Lin Ying? Yan Qingshan's heart immediately became anxious.

"Alright, since everyone agrees that Li Jianmin should be released, let's vote!" After saying that, Ma Guoliang slowly raised his right hand, followed by Zhao Yuma, and then Hong Guotao and the others raised their hands as well.

Only Yan Qingshan watched all this with anger in his eyes. These people were simply too shameless, treating the Standing Committee like a child's game. They were trying to completely ruin Lin Ying's first move.

What should we do? If Lin Ying hears this news, she'll be furious. How can we prevent this decision from becoming a resolution?

Just as Yan Qingshan was lost in thought, wondering what to do, suddenly, with a creak, the conference room door was slowly pushed open, and a tall, straight figure strode in.

"Sorry everyone, I'm late. There was a bit of traffic on the way." The newcomer glanced around, and instantly, everyone looked at her in shock. Wait, weren't they supposed to prevent her from attending the meeting?

Zhao Yuma and Hong Guotao's expressions both changed drastically, especially Zhao Yuma's, which became extremely ugly.

Ma Guoliang's expression changed slightly, a flash of coldness crossing his eyes. She's here? She actually dares to attend the Standing Committee meeting? This woman is really bold. But, with so many of us, we can't handle one female soldier? Hmph!

Ma Guoliang glanced at Lin Ying, then turned to look at Xu Xianglin, who was sitting at the end of the table. Xu Xianglin's expression changed, and he quickly stood up. He was the organizer of the meeting and a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee.

Xu Xianglin stood up, walked to Lin Ying's side, and said something in a low voice. Lin Ying's expression remained unchanged. She glanced at him, said nothing, then scanned the room again, finally fixing her gaze on Ma Guoliang. The latter met Lin Ying's gaze, and their eyes flashed with four cold rays in the air.

"Oh, they're having a meeting to discuss the report against me, and they won't let me participate? Are they trying to make me avoid suspicion?" Lin Ying wasn't afraid at all, turning to glance at Xu Xianglin, who looked embarrassed. He hadn't expected Lin Ying to state the truth so directly.

No one spoke up. After all, they had said a lot of bad things about Lin Ying, and they had almost named him as narrow-minded and unfit to serve as deputy secretary of the county party committee and acting county head, let alone the head of the public security bureau.

"Secretary Ma, I don't know if you've come to a conclusion. Since you want me to avoid suspicion, then tell me your reasons!" Lin Ying's eyes were like lightning, and her powerful aura made everyone feel a sudden increase in pressure. This Lin Ying really had quite the presence.

Ma Guoliang looked at Lin Ying, his gaze gradually turning cold. This was his first confrontation with Lin Ying, and he absolutely could not lose, much less back down. Otherwise, how could he establish himself in Gaoshan?! Besides, for so many years, Gaoshan County had only had one secretary. No matter how many positions Lin Ying held, he was at most a deputy secretary.

"Comrade Lin Ying, we did discuss the results just now, and everyone voted on them. Xiang Lin, please tell Director Lin the results."

Xu Xianglin was startled and looked at Ma Guoliang in disbelief. He could tell that the two of them were competing with each other. However, if he told Lin Ying this, she would be furious on the spot. But if he didn't say anything, Secretary Ma would definitely not let it go.

Thinking of this, he quickly looked at Lin Ying and slowly spoke, but his expression was somewhat unnatural.

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Lin Ying again.

Lin Ying's gaze was cold and sharp as she swept her eyes around, her gaze as icy as a knife.

Faced with those sharp, knife-like eyes, no one dared to meet her gaze. Everyone, including Ma Guoliang, looked away; Lin Ying's eyes were too frightening.

A sense of unease welled up in Zhao Yuma and Hong Guotao's hearts.

Lin Ying didn't speak, but picked up the materials on the table and glanced at them. Her expression was terrifyingly calm, and her aura changed again. A murderous aura emanated from her. Everyone present changed their expressions drastically and looked at Lin Ying in shock. They didn't understand why Lin Ying's aura was so strong.

This murderous intent made the hearts of these bigwigs from Gaoshan County pound wildly; even Hong Guotao and Zhao Yuma were somewhat terrified.

After watching for a while, Lin Ying raised her eyes and slowly spoke... Just one sentence made Ma Guoliang, Zhao Yuma, and Hong Guotao's expressions change drastically, and they looked at Lin Ying with a hint of shock.
