Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

A sudden honking of car horns pulled the old beggar back to reality. He looked up and saw trucks carrying armed police officers heading in all directions along the main road. It seemed that all the armed police officers from the county's armed police detachment had been mobilized.

He panicked even more, muttering to himself, "Calm down, calm down, calm down, I must calm down! Don't panic, don't panic!" His mind raced as he considered a solution. Lin Ying must have deployed a large number of armed police to set up roadblocks at every intersection, preventing him from leaving Gaoshan County. But he was Liu Yixiong, the county's public security chief. No one knew the roads in Gaoshan better than him. If he wanted to leave, who could stop him?!

However, he needed to hide as soon as possible, otherwise, he would be in trouble if he were discovered. He turned around and walked quickly towards the dark alley in the distance. The lamplight cast a long shadow of him, and the dappled shadow cast by the lamppost made the pattern on the ground look like a hanged ghost, which looked ferocious and terrifying.

However, no one noticed this, and the beggar quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.

They searched Liu Yixiong's house thoroughly. His wife, Shuai Meijuan, cried and sobbed the whole time without saying a word. Lin Ying and her team found no strong evidence or valuable clues. Meanwhile, Duan Fei, Xie Zhijun, and others called to report that they had not found any trace of Liu Yixiong. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.

However, Lin Ying knew that Liu Yixiong definitely hadn't left the mountains yet. He wasn't moving that quickly, and he had a lot of confidence in himself, so he wouldn't leave so soon. Because he believed that even if he faced many difficulties in the end, someone would help him leave; after all, he was a trusted confidant of the top leader of the mountains.

However, Liu Yixiong underestimated one thing.

Lin Ying's lips curled into a smile. He ran, but could he escape? Gao Lan, Ji Xiaoqing, Yue Yuqing, and the victims of the 530 massacre, the criminals who died unjustly at Liu Yixiong's hands over the years, the victims of those wrongful convictions—would they spare him?

"Liu Yixiong, you can't escape!" Lin Ying thought to herself, reaching for her phone and dialing a number.

"Received, I'll be right there." After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she was not at ease. Gao Shan was not a huge mountain, but it was not small either. Where could Liu Yixiong hide? The most likely place was to go to Wang Dalong, or Ma Guoliang. Everyone knew that Liu Yixiong was one of his men.

It seems I'll have to make a trip to Tianlong Mansion.

Just then, Lin Ying's phone suddenly rang urgently. She picked it up casually and asked, "Hello, who is this?" Who would call her so late?

"Director Lin, do you think I can tell? Do you think I can tell? Hahahaha!" A burst of wild laughter came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Ying's expression changed, and she was startled. She blurted out, "Wang Dalong, what's up?" Why was this bastard calling her in the middle of the night? Lin Ying suddenly felt uneasy; Wang Dalong's call could never be anything good.

"Director Lin, you arrested my brother and even openly called me to inform me. Are you afraid I won't know how capable you are, Director Lin?" Wang Dalong's voice was full of sarcasm.

"Spit it out." Lin Ying had no patience for Wang Dalong. That day, if it weren't to attract his attention, she wouldn't have bothered to negotiate with him one-on-one. Now, there was no need.

"Alright, I have a small request now. I'd like to switch people with Director Lin. What do you think, Director Lin?" Wang Dalong seemed confident and fearless.

"Change people? Change who? Your brother?" Lin Ying knew that Wang Dalong was never looking for her for anything good. It seemed that he must have arrested someone from her side. Who could it be? Her heart jumped.

"Director Lin, did you know that Gao Lan has a godmother?" Wang Dalong suddenly blurted out. Lin Ying was slightly taken aback. She had never heard of Gao Lan having a godmother. Wait, is it that Aunt Yao? Sun Ping once mentioned that he should go to Louhua Village to find an old lady surnamed Yao. Is it her?

"Wang Dalong, just tell me directly, did you arrest her?" Lin Ying's voice was slightly tense.

"What do you mean by 'arrest'? Director Lin, that sounds awful. I just invited the old man over to the battlefield for tea, that's all, understand? You invited my brother to the police station, wasn't it just to invite him for tea? Huh?" Wang Dalong roared, his voice terrifyingly loud.

Lin Ying's face turned cold. It seemed that Wang Dalong wanted to replace her, but how could she be sure that Aunt Yao was in his hands?

"Director Lin, I know you're not only resourceful, but also incredibly skilled; you could take down dozens of people single-handedly. So, Director Lin, to show your sincerity, you've brought my brother along alone, understand?"

Lin Ying remained silent. At this moment, Duan Fei and the others looked at her with bewildered expressions. Lin Ying walked to the side, trying her best to prevent others from hearing.

"Okay, I can agree to your conditions, but you have to let me confirm whether the old man is in your hands and whether he is safe, right?" Lin Ying's voice remained very calm. To rescue him, she would probably have to make a trip. Moreover, Wang Dalong was a very cunning man and might not let her go.

"I can let you hear her voice and send you a photo to confirm." With that, she slammed down the phone.

A minute later, Lin Ying's phone rang. She quickly picked it up and looked at it. At this moment, Duan Fei and the others also came over. Upon closer inspection, Fatty Xu exclaimed, "I recognize her! She's Gao Lan's godmother, Yao Jinhua. Everyone calls her Aunt Yao. I've seen her picture before."

"Where have I seen you before?" Lin Ying suddenly turned to look at the fat man, who quickly turned on his computer and opened a downloaded webpage. A photo appeared in front of him, showing a face that looked exactly like Lin Ying's. Next to her was a simply dressed old woman.

"This photo was taken secretly by a reporter. He wanted to report on the story of County Chief Gao recognizing his godmother, but County Chief Gao ordered it to be taken down. I kept this webpage because I was careful. You see, it's her. She is Aunt Yao."

Lin Ying was stunned. For a moment, she stared blankly at Gao Lan in the photo. Did she really look that much like her? Although she had known for a long time that Gao Lan looked a lot like her, she was still a little lost when she saw the photo again.

"Boss, look! That's her! That's Aunt Yao!" Fatty Xu quickly pointed to the photo.

Lin Ying quickly opened her phone and compared the pictures. Upon closer inspection, she found that the photos Wang Dalong had sent were exactly the same as the photos Xu Pangzi had pulled up.

Did Wang Dalong really capture Gao Lan's godmother?!
