Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Lin Ying listened quietly to the phone call, her brows furrowing slightly. "Secretary Chai," she said, "I disagree with suspending the investigation. The case has reached a critical juncture. Suspending it now could allow key figures to escape." Of course, Lin Ying wouldn't agree to suspend the investigation at this crucial moment. What a joke! Sun Ping, Lao Liang, and Wang Gui all died in this case. How could she possibly face those fallen comrades if she were to stop now?!

"Comrade Lin Ying, I'm not asking you to really stop, just temporarily. There might be some big moves coming from above, so let's pause for a while and take a break. What do you think?" Chai Dapeng's tone was somewhat hurried. Clearly, he hadn't expected Lin Ying to refuse him so directly. This caught him off guard, after all, he was Lin Ying's superior.

"I'm sorry, Secretary Chai, I was sent down by the Provincial Department to investigate the case. I don't know if the major operation you mentioned is related to the meeting the day after tomorrow. If it is necessary to suspend the investigation, you need to have Director Meng of the Provincial Department notify me. I received the order from the province."

Lin Ying's words made Chai Dapeng's face stiffen. He didn't expect Lin Ying to be so ungrateful, actually using Director Meng of the Provincial Public Security Bureau to pressure him. His face turned extremely ugly, and anger was rising on his face.

After a moment's thought, he forcibly suppressed his anger, calmed his breathing, and spoke again: "Alright, Comrade Lin Ying, since you received a notification from the province, I'll inquire about the progress of the case. Come see me in the city tomorrow with the case files; I'd like to hear about your investigation's progress and results." With a snap, the phone rang. Was she really going to listen to a mere young girl like her, wielding such authority? Who was she trying to fool?

Lin Ying paused slightly, realizing the real battle had begun. The Secretary of the Haizhu Municipal Political and Legal Committee had officially intervened in the investigation. She didn't know much about Chai Dapeng, but his sudden involvement made her suspicious. Should she call Director Meng and ask for his opinion?

Forget it. After all, Meng Yunzhou just left, and Director Meng must be feeling down. I'll just quickly organize the materials and go to the city to see Secretary Chai. That'll be a good opportunity to see if there are any protectors from Gaoshan County in the city.

Thinking of this, Lin Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as she was thinking about how to deal with the interference from Chai Dapeng, the secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, in the city, Chai Dapeng sat down on the sofa in anger, threw his phone aside, and snorted coldly. This Lin Ying is really outrageous. She doesn't take me seriously at all. Does she think that with the support of the Provincial Public Security Department, I can't do anything to her? Hmph, she's still too naive.

Just as he was about to get up, his phone rang. He picked it up, glanced at it, and quickly pressed the answer button: "Feed the boss."

"So, did she agree to suspend the investigation?" The other person's voice was a little hoarse.

"I disagree. This Lin Ying rejected me right away, and even tried to pressure me by mentioning the Provincial Public Security Department, saying it was a task assigned by the department and I couldn't stop. It's outrageous! I really can't trust the work of the Gaoshan County Bureau to be handled by such a comrade!"

The elder brother frowned slightly, his heart sinking. It seemed that Lin Ying was indeed a tough nut to crack, not even giving face to Chai Dapeng, who was his superior, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, which was in charge of the public security system. This Lin Ying was really too ungrateful.

"What are you planning to do?"

"I've already told her to bring the case materials to the city to see me tomorrow. I want to know what she's been doing all this time, especially whether the investigation into the Gao Lan case has found the key witnesses and physical evidence as previously stated." Although Chai Dapeng had many grievances against Lin Ying, he was still very interested in the Gao Lan case. After all, he wasn't the only one concerned about it.

The elder brother nodded secretly: "Alright, Lao Chai, you'll have to put in a lot of effort on this matter. I'm also considering the big picture. After all, a major operation is about to begin, and during this period, Haizhu City cannot afford any problems. As members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, we must nip any problems in the bud."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Chai Dapeng knew what the other party wanted him to do: to get the case file Lin Ying was investigating and see what it contained. Did they really think he didn't know?

"That's good. But remember, don't make things difficult for Lin Ying. After all, she's just a newly transferred cadre. For these young cadres who dare to fight and take risks, we should help them grow on the one hand, and not restrict their growth on the other. At the same time, we should also protect them." Another bunch of high-sounding reasons.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Chai Dapeng admired this person very much, after all, the other party was indeed very capable.

In the Cuilong residential complex, Shi Qian had just reached the entrance of the building when his expression changed slightly. A short, stout figure was hurrying towards Building 5. His expression tightened. Was Liu Yixiong moving so fast?! He gripped the dagger at his waist tightly. If Liu Yixiong suddenly attacked, he would have no choice but to use the knife.

He walked forward cautiously, pretending to be nonchalant. Liu Yixiong glanced at him and confirmed that it was indeed Building No. 5. Then he quickly walked towards the stairwell and walked towards Shi Qian.

At this moment, Shi Qian's heart jumped into his throat. He didn't know if Liu Yixiong had seen him just now, but his actions just now were indeed very risky. If the other party hadn't noticed him, he would never have come to Building 5 of Cuilongyuan for no reason. However, whether he had seen his face clearly was another matter.

Thinking of this, he put his hand on his waist. Liu Yixiong was in a hurry and didn't look at him again. Just as the two walked together and their bodies brushed against each other, Shi Qian's heart almost jumped out of his chest. His body tensed up and even his breathing became sluggish. He had been following this old guy for quite some time.

However, the expected sudden explosion did not occur, and Liu Yixiong brushed past him. Shi Qian breathed a sigh of relief, quickly left, and walked out of the residential area.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his back drenched in sweat without him even realizing it. That was a close call. He didn't know if he could defeat Liu Yixiong, but the other man was definitely looking for him. It seemed the old man was indeed quite vigilant. He would have to be extra careful from now on, otherwise, he would be discovered sooner or later.

Just as he was about to step out of the Cuilong residential complex, a soft voice suddenly rang out behind him: "Stop! What are you doing?"

Shi Qian's heart tightened. That voice... he hadn't gone up?! Shi Qian didn't dare linger and continued walking forward. Behind him, the voice rang out again: "I'm talking to you! What are you doing? Stop!"

Shi Qian's expression hardened, his heart sank, and his hand instinctively went to the dagger at his waist. He took a step out of the Cuilong residential area, and behind him, a figure rushed after him like lightning: "Stop! What are you doing?"
