Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Knock, knock, knock... A knocking sound came from the door.

"Come in." Ma Guoliang's voice came out, and the person who came in pushed open the door was Liu Yixiong.

"Yixiong, you're here. Have a seat." After saying that, Ma Guoliang took out a file folder and handed it to him: "Take a look at this first." He then tossed it lightly, and Liu Yixiong caught it and took a look.

Upon looking at it, he was immediately startled and looked up at Ma Guoliang: "Brother Ma, this..." Inside were dozens of pages of evidence materials on Lü Dayong's embezzlement, bribery, and wrongful convictions. Where did they come from?

Ma Guoliang looked up at Liu Yixiong, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and scrutiny. Liu Yixiong felt a chill run down his spine. Li Jianmin was already in trouble; if Lü Dayong were to get into trouble as well, he would be in serious trouble. Both of them were people he had promoted.

"Old Liu, the materials were sent by Yan Qingshan from the Discipline Inspection Commission. What do you think we should do?" Ma Guoliang's voice was calm, but Liu Yixiong could tell that there was a knife hidden in his words.

"Brother Ma, there's something wrong with this material. It's definitely a frame-up. Although Lü Dayong is a bit rough in handling cases, he would never deliberately handle a wrongful case. Besides, the evidence in this material is insufficient. It cannot be used as evidence to place Lü Dayong under investigation."

"But Yan Qingshan has already submitted the materials. I can't keep holding them back. Tell me, what should we do?" Ma Guoliang looked at Liu Yixiong, a hint of anger in his eyes. If Li Jianmin was like this, and if Lü Dayong was the same, then it proved that Liu Yixiong was not up to the task. If that were the case, then Lü Dayong really couldn't be kept around.

Upon seeing this situation, Liu Yixiong understood Ma Guoliang's intentions perfectly. However, he couldn't push Lü Dayong out. Li Jianmin was already in trouble; if Lü Dayong were arrested as well, how could he continue his work in the bureau? Who would listen to him then? It was obvious this was aimed at him. Everyone knew that both Li Jianmin and Lü Dayong were his men!

"Brother Ma, as you know, Lü Dayong is one of my men, so he may indeed have some problems, but it can't be this bad. So, please give me some time. Could I take this document back and study it?" Liu Yixiong wasn't stupid; he knew the importance of this document. If there was a problem with the document, then the charges against Lü Dayong could be dropped. It was all just a matter of a word from the county party secretary.

Ma Guoliang frowned. After all, he needed Liu Yixiong to do too many things, so he couldn't immediately take action against Lü Dayong. Moreover, Lü Dayong, like Li Jianmin, was one of Liu Yixiong's confidants. If he lost a general again and again, Liu Yixiong would be in a very passive position.

"Okay, take the materials back and study them. But be careful not to let anyone else know about them. Yan Qingshan didn't make a copy of these materials."

"Where did he get this material?" Liu Yixiong was a little curious. After all, Yan Qingshan had been honest for many years, but he didn't expect him to reappear this time.

"I don't know, he didn't say. But he's the secretary of the county discipline inspection commission. It could be from an investigation, or someone might have given it to him. Anyway, be careful, don't let him catch you doing anything wrong."

"I understand, Secretary. I heard that he deliberately went against you at the meeting this afternoon. Should we find someone to teach him a lesson?" Liu Yixiong glanced at Ma Guoliang and stared intently at his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Old Liu, you're a state cadre, why do you always lecture people? He's also a leader in the county, and the secretary of the county discipline inspection commission. What do you mean by that?" Ma Guoliang acted like a gentleman, which made Liu Yixiong feel nauseous, but he couldn't expose him, so he had to play along.

"Yes, yes, Brother Ma, it was my perspective and stance that were flawed. You're right to correct me." Liu Yixiong quickly admitted his mistake. His greatest virtue was his ability to admit and correct his errors, which is truly admirable.

Ma Guoliang glanced at him, a thought flashing through his mind: "However, what you said isn't without merit. Recently, Yan Qingshan has indeed started acting up, seemingly disobedient. Moreover, although he didn't speak this afternoon, his attitude was very clear: he supports Lin Ying. It seems he does have some ideas."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yixiong immediately understood and quickly nodded: "Understood, sir. Just you wait and see. I guarantee he'll be completely obedient. He won't dare to go west if you tell him to go east."

"Don't go too far. He's a state cadre and a member of the county party committee. Don't use the same tactics you use on thugs and class enemies on him, understand?" Although Ma Guoliang didn't like Yan Qingshan, he had been very well-behaved over the years and hadn't openly opposed him, which was the best indication of his behavior. He didn't want a bunch of obedient dogs.

"Brother Ma, don't worry, I'll definitely handle this well." After saying that, Liu Yixiong quickly took the materials and left Ma Guoliang's office.

Just as he left, Yan Qingshan knocked on the office door, knock knock knock...

"Who is it?" Ma Guoliang looked towards the door.

"It's me, Secretary Ma, Yan Qingshan." The latter's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and was just heard by Ma Guoliang inside the room.

Ma Guoliang's heart skipped a beat. He had just given the materials to Liu Yixiong when Yan Qingshan arrived. So punctual? Could it be that he already knew?

Ma Guoliang's heart skipped a beat. After all, Yan Qingshan had been in the mountains for so many years; he probably wouldn't dare to be openly hostile towards him. Thinking of this, he casually replied, "Come in!"

With a creak, Yan Qingshan pushed open the door and entered, looking at Ma Guoliang: "Secretary Ma, what have you thought about Lü Dayong's matter? Should we immediately convene a county standing committee meeting to discuss it?" Once the facts are confirmed and there is evidence, they can place him under investigation. This is the procedure for handling cases by the discipline inspection commission. However, Ma Guoliang clearly did not intend to agree immediately.

Yan Qingshan was somewhat anxious. He knew that Lin Ying had given him the materials hoping that he would alert the enemy, not that he would actually arrest Lü Dayong. If that were the case, she wouldn't have reported it to Ma Guoliang so publicly. He didn't know what Lin Ying was planning to do next.

"Not for now. I just looked at the materials you submitted, and there is indeed solid evidence, but there are also many problems. Let me think about it some more. As you know, Li Jianmin just got into trouble. If Lü Dayong also gets into trouble at this time, then Lao Liu and the county bureau will be in a very passive position. It may even affect the morale of the county bureau staff and the normal operation of the county bureau. Therefore, I suggest that we put it on hold for now and see how to minimize the impact of this matter."

"Secretary Ma..." Yan Qingshan was getting anxious. Could Ma Guoliang be planning to openly protect Lü Dayong? After all, the other party was Liu Yixiong's man. Would he really dare to be so blatant?
