Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

"We have obtained conclusive evidence that Gao Lan did not commit suicide, but was murdered by someone. Li Jianmin, the captain of the criminal investigation team, played a very crucial role in the case. He was one of the accomplices and also the most important eyewitness."

The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell into a deathly silence. Zhao Yuma and Hong Guotao, who had been chattering away and acting arrogantly just moments before, were both dumbfounded. They looked at Lin Ying in disbelief, their heads buzzing. Even Ma Guoliang was so shocked that he couldn't utter a single word.

Ma Guoliang's heart pounded wildly, and he looked at Lin Ying with a look of horror. Had Gao Lan's matter been overlooked?

His heart started pounding.

"Director Lin, do you know what you're saying?" Zhao Yuma suddenly spoke up, his gaze towards Lin Ying filled with suspicion and scrutiny.

"Deputy County Chief Zhao, of course I know what I'm talking about. I was assigned by the Provincial Department to investigate the murder of Gao Lan, and the arrest of Li Jianmin was also approved by the province. If anyone has any questions, you can go directly to Director Meng of the Provincial Department." Lin Ying slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping around, and no one dared to meet his eyes.

The provincial department? Meng Jianguo? He was assigned by the provincial department to investigate Gao Lan's murder case. In other words, the province knew all along that Gao Lan's death was not suicide, but murder? How is that possible?

Everyone present, except Yan Qingshan, felt their hearts pounding. They quickly looked away from Lin Ying, afraid of being targeted by her. Li Jianmin had participated in the murder of Gao Lan. How could a dignified captain of the criminal investigation team have participated in the murder of the county magistrate?

Apart from Ma Guoliang, everyone's mind went blank. They knew Gao Lan was in trouble and that it might be related to certain people and forces, but they never expected that Gao Lan was murdered, and that Li Jianmin was one of the accomplices?! If this got out, the entire Gaoshan County would probably be in an uproar. A criminal police captain involved in the murder of the county magistrate—how could such a thing happen in Gaoshan County?

Everyone looked at Lin Ying with disbelief, their eyes filled with disbelief. Lin Ying said nothing more. She glanced around again, her gaze finally settling on Ma Guoliang: "If any of you still have any complaints about Lin Ying, you can go to the provincial authorities. If you have any questions about what I just said, you can go directly to Director Meng Jianguo."

Ma Guoliang's face was terribly gloomy, and everyone felt as if they had been slapped in the face repeatedly. Lin Ying's words had slapped them all in the face.

"Of course, you can continue to investigate the reports against me. I also want to make it clear that Li Jianmin is in my hands. He has confessed to some things. There is a serious problem of collusion between officials and businessmen in Gaoshan County." Lin Ying's voice stopped abruptly.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats again. These words were like a bomb dropped on the spot. Even Ma Guoliang was caught off guard. No one dared to speak, not even the usually arrogant Ma Guoliang.

What does this mean? Is there serious collusion between officials and businessmen in Gaoshan County? Who are the officials? Who are the businessmen? Which businessman?

Ma Guoliang, Zhao Yuma, and Hong Guotao all turned deathly pale. The others looked at Ma Guoliang simultaneously; his face was also frighteningly dark. He had only intended to use the Pan Liting incident to distract Lin Ying from dealing with Li Jianmin and Li Shuwen. Moreover, he wanted to find a way to rescue Li Jianmin. Originally, this move had gone well, but with Lin Ying's actions, who dared to mention the previous resolution?!

Li Jianmin was involved in the murder of County Magistrate Gao Lan, and Lin Ying has solid evidence. No one knows who her evidence points to.

Even Ma Guoliang's heart was in his throat. He was terrified that Lin Ying would suddenly say that Li Jianmin had implicated him in the murder of Gao Lan. No, no, no, that shouldn't be the case. Li Jianmin had no evidence to identify him. Besides, he had never given the order to murder Gao Lan. Even if he had, it could only be Liu Yixiong's speculation. He had never given Li Jianmin any leverage over him. He absolutely couldn't panic.

Ma Guoliang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, forcing himself to calm down, but he didn't dare to look Lin Ying in the eye again.

Lin Ying's words can be described as a blatant threat. No one knows what evidence she has in her possession, or if someone is targeting her, will she take out the evidence and arrest them on the spot?

No one was sure, and everyone felt a sense of suffocation as Ma Guoliang's face slowly returned to normal.

"Comrade Lin Ying, what do you mean by this? There's serious collusion between officials and businessmen in Gaoshan County? Who said that? I didn't know about it." How could he, a dignified county party secretary, be intimidated by a few words from a little girl?

Lin Ying looked at the county party secretary who had been stationed in Gaoshan for so long, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes: "Secretary Ma, without collusion between officials and businessmen, Gaoshan County wouldn't have lost three county heads in a row. Without collusion between officials and businessmen, no one would have been so audacious as to go to the county government office's dormitory to commit murder. Without collusion between officials and businessmen, no one would have dared to lay a hand on Elder Yuan!"

Lin Ying's words were like bombs, and Ma Guoliang and everyone else's heads rang again, leaving them all dumbfounded.

"Do you think the city, the province, and even the higher-ups are all blind? Huh? Three county magistrates have died, and you're still sitting in your offices, complacent?" Lin Ying retorted without any politeness.

Ma Guoliang's expression suddenly changed, and his heart sank. Yes, three county magistrates had died. It was impossible for the higher-ups not to have heard anything. It seemed that he had been too careless. The leaders were not all fools. They must have sensed something. It seemed that Gao Lan's case had been handled too carelessly. That bastard Liu Yixiong still wanted to join the Standing Committee. Dream on!

Ma Guoliang's heart also started pounding, and his face turned extremely ugly.

"As for why Pan Liting reported me, I believe everyone here knows the answer, so I won't elaborate. I, Lin Ying, am innocent. If you really want to find out the truth, Secretary Ma can arrange for someone to invite Pan Liting here, and we can confront her face to face." Lin Ying's last words made Ma Guoliang feel uncomfortable. He felt that his authority had been challenged. In all these years, no one had dared to speak to him like this, let alone point their finger at him and confront him.

"Comrade Lin Ying, watch your attitude." Zhao Yuma couldn't help but speak up. No matter what, he and Ma Guoliang were partners, and he couldn't let Lin Ying be so arrogant.

"Deputy County Chief Zhao, you have been in Gaoshan County for many years, and you have been the county chief for more than just a day or two. Everyone knows what is going on today. Since I, Lin Ying, dared to come to Gaoshan County to crack down on organized crime, I have already made the worst preparations. No matter who wants to join forces with organized crime to undermine the economic development of Gaoshan County or act as a protective umbrella for organized crime, I will fight them to the end."

"Damn it!" Zhao Yuma almost jumped up, while Ma Guoliang's face turned even uglier, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead. This Lin Ying was too arrogant and too presumptuous!
