Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

"Many comrades are out on missions, how can they possibly get back?" Liu Yixiong looked at Xue Huaimin with a dissatisfied expression.

"Director Liu, I have no choice. This is the new director's first order, and if I fail to complete it, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself!"

"The first order? Every order should be reasonable, right? You actually carried out such an unreasonable order?"

Xue Huaimin paused, glanced at Liu Yixiong, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. He was just a lowly political work office director; he dared not offend anyone. However, this was the new director's first order. If it wasn't completed, who knew what kind of wrath the new director would throw? They had said that if the standards weren't met, there would be no performance bonuses for the month—this was no joke. If everyone in the bureau failed to meet the standards, no one would receive performance bonuses; if that got out, it would be a huge scandal.

"Director Liu, what do you suggest we do?" Xue Huaimin looked at the other man. He knew that Liu Yixiong was definitely very dissatisfied with this new director. However, the other man was the director of the Public Security Bureau, acting county head, and deputy secretary of the county party committee. Even the county party secretary wouldn't know what to do with such a combination of political and police power. It hadn't been seen for many years. This new director was definitely not simple.

"Just tell them that many comrades are out on missions and can't come back immediately. Gather all the comrades at the unit and carry out her so-called temporary physical fitness test!" Liu Yixiong didn't want to immediately block her first order. If she were just a police chief, he wouldn't be afraid. But she was also the acting county head and the deputy secretary of the county party committee. This arrangement was too unpleasant. He guessed that Ma Guoliang wasn't feeling good either.

"This..." Xue Huaimin looked troubled, his gaze towards Liu Yixiong somewhat unnatural.

"What, is there a problem with this arrangement?" Liu Yixiong glanced coldly at Xue Huaimin, who was startled and could only grit his teeth and say, "Director Lin said that if there is a mission to be carried out, as long as one is not unable to walk, one must return to the bureau immediately; otherwise, it will be treated as absenteeism."

"Holy shit!" Liu Yixiong jumped to his feet, looking at Xue Huaimin in disbelief. He was so angry he almost slapped the man across the face. What did this mean? Treating him as absent without leave?

Why is attendance being brought up?

Xue Huaimin mustered his courage and stepped forward, hesitatingly expressing his thoughts. After all, he would be under the new director's jurisdiction from now on, and if he didn't do things his way this time, who knew if the director would make things difficult for him?

"Director Liu, I suggest we bring back the comrades who were on the mission. At least those who were on the mission in this county should come back. Otherwise, if Director Lin finds out later, he might blame us for not following his orders. That's hard to say."

"What, does she think she's some new bureau chief who can command the highest authority?" Liu Yixiong shouted arrogantly, and Xue Huaimin quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say a word.

Liu Yixiong glared at the other party angrily, about to lash out, but then he thought about it. Gao Lan's matter hadn't been completely resolved yet, so he absolutely couldn't fall out with the new director, Lin Ying. Moreover, even if he did fall out, it couldn't be so quick. The main reason was that this arrangement from above was too unsettling. The director of the Public Security Bureau concurrently serving as the acting county magistrate—this kind of arrangement was making it impossible for him to sleep at night!

Forget it, there's plenty of time. Let's not rush into a head-on confrontation with Lin Ying. Let's wait and see what she's up to. It's not too late to make a move after we've figured out her background.

"Alright, go and make the arrangements. Call back all the comrades who are on missions outside. We'll arrange a physical fitness test this afternoon."

"Yes." Xue Huaimin was overjoyed, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly turned and walked out of Liu Yixiong's office.

Lu Xiujuan didn't know if Chen Zhengyang would betray her. Right now, she dared not trust anyone, because even Lü Dayong might be a protector of the criminal gang. Who else was clean?

What role did Liu Yixiong play in this matter? He was the one who promoted Lü Dayong. The thought that the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau might be the murderer of County Magistrate Gao Lan made her heart leap into her throat.

She quickly found the Friendship Hotel, carefully looked around to make sure she wasn't being followed or saw any plainclothes officers, and then slowly walked into the hotel. As soon as she entered, she saw a chubby young man looking at her, which startled her. She quickly turned to leave, but to her surprise, the man called out, "Lu Xiujuan?"

Lu Xiujuan was so frightened that her body froze instantly. She didn't dare to move, let alone turn around. She could only stand there, her mind racing to think of a solution.

"I am Xu Pang."

The voice behind her was like heavenly music. Lu Xiujuan's tears were hard to hold back. She turned around abruptly. Fatty Xu walked to the hotel entrance, looked outside to make sure there were no tails, and then grinned at her: "Come with me."

Lu Xiujuan nodded, and couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. For some reason, he seemed somewhat familiar.

A moment later, Lu Xiujuan followed Fatty Xu to a room. The latter reached out and knocked on the door, knock...knock knock...

"Come in." A steady voice rang out, and with a creak, Fatty Xu pushed open the door and entered.

A tall figure stood by the window, looking at Lu Xiujuan. The latter looked up at the other person and saw a woman with a commanding presence standing before her. Moreover, the aura emanating from the woman made Lu Xiujuan feel an urge to kneel down.

This person is...

"Lu Xiujuan?"

"Yes, you..."

"Lin Ying".

Lu Xiujuan's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Lin Ying, her expression changed, and she became somewhat excited. Tears almost welled up in her eyes: "Director Lin..." Lu Xiujuan didn't realize that her voice was choked up. She had finally seen her.

"Don't be nervous. I've already sent someone to pick up your mother. Just wait a moment, someone will bring her over to meet you. Don't worry." Lin Ying's words surprised and delighted Lu Xiujuan. She looked at Lin Ying, her expression even more excited, her lips trembling slightly: "You..." She was so nervous that she didn't know what to say.

"Sit down and have some water. You're safe here now. Don't worry about anything else. Just rest for a bit."

Lin Ying gestured for Fatty Xu to pour Lu Xiujuan a glass of water. The latter took the glass and quickly gulped it down. She hadn't dared to drink water on the way here. She hadn't drunk any water for the past two days, not because she wasn't thirsty, but because she was afraid of being drugged. As a forensic doctor, she knew very well that if she were drugged, she would be completely finished.

Lu Xiujuan gulped down several mouthfuls of water, finishing the entire glass. Xu Pangzi poured her another glass, which she also drank.

"Want more?" Fatty Xu glanced at her. Girls tend to need to urinate more easily when they drink too much water at once.

"No need, thank you!" Lu Xiujuan glanced at him gratefully, then turned to look at Lin Ying. For some reason, looking at Lin Ying's profile, she always felt incredibly at ease.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Lin Ying's words made Lu Xiujuan's heart tighten suddenly. She looked at Lin Ying with a slightly evasive gaze. Could she trust this new police chief?
