Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Chapter 27 The County Government's Hot Pot

Ma Guoliang walked out of Qi Fengqi's office, the municipal party secretary, in a daze, and then walked out of the municipal party committee compound in a daze. He knew that this time it was really over, really over.

But what exactly was it about? Could it be related to Gao Lan's incident? If not, he really couldn't imagine what he, Gaoshan County, had done to incur such public wrath and dislike from the higher-ups, who seemed determined to completely cut off Gaoshan County's path to development.

Ma Guoliang felt helpless and lost, frustrated and frantic. If all else failed, he had no choice but to go to his old boss. He gritted his teeth, picked up the phone, and dialed. He heard a busy signal on the other end.

After a while, he dialed the number again, but it was still busy. Undeterred, he dialed five more times, only to be met with another busy signal each time.

Ma Guoliang was completely dumbfounded. What did this mean? His old boss wasn't answering his calls? He panicked completely. His old boss was his last resort. Did he not want him anymore? Was he going to abandon him?

No, no, he wouldn't abandon me. He couldn't possibly abandon me. After all, I've been with him for eight years. He couldn't possibly abandon me. He quickly picked up the phone again and dialed, but it was still busy. Ma Guoliang was filled with panic.

Lin Ying carefully examined 308 but found no useful clues. Taking this opportunity, she went to the county government office. When she appeared, the entire Gaoshan County government was in an uproar.

"Isn't that County Magistrate Gao Lan?"

"How is that possible? Wasn't she dead?"

All eyes turned to Lin Ying. Lin Ying walked calmly and composedly. Today was her first day in office. The entire county government building was shaken. Director of Public Security Bureau, acting county head, and deputy secretary of the county party committee—what kind of amazing position and identity was this?

Everyone was filled with curiosity about Lin Ying, but when they saw her face, they were all so shocked that they couldn't say a word.

"County Chief Zhao, you should go and see, the new County Chief Lin has taken office." Someone called out to Zhao Yuma. The latter raised his head slightly, and curled his lips. Since he couldn't be promoted to the top position in Gaoshan County, he could just go somewhere else.

"No need. County Chief Lin is here. We'll all meet at the welcome ceremony later." What's so interesting about him? He's just an acting county chief. Hmph, just wait and see. One day, Zhao Yuma will also be the head of a county, and a county chief of a resource-rich and economically strong county at that.

Thinking this, Zhao Yuma felt a little better. Suddenly, his phone rang, and an urgent voice came through: "County Chief Zhao, you'd better go to the entrance quickly! The new county chief has entered the county government building! You should go see him!"

"He's just a county magistrate, I've never even seen him before, what's so interesting about him?!" He was about to hang up when the other person's voice became even more urgent: "County Magistrate Zhao, you'd better go and see him, you'll definitely regret it if you don't, go now!" With that, the phone slammed down.

Zhao Yuma frowned, thought for a moment, got up, left the office and walked outside. Just as he reached the office door and looked up at Lin Ying walking towards the county magistrate's office, his head buzzed and he froze. The pen in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter: "You..." Isn't this Gao Lan?

How did she come back to life?

Zhao Yuma immediately dismissed his own thought. No, this person looks just like Gao Lan, very much so. How could this be?

Zhao Yuma's face turned pale. He never expected that the newly appointed acting county magistrate, Lin Ying, would look so much like Gao Lan. What was going on?

"County Magistrate Lin, I am Zhou Wenqing, the director of the County Government Office. Your office is over there. I'll take you there." Zhou Wenqing from the County Government Office was also startled and quickly stepped forward to lead Lin Ying to her office.

Lin Ying nodded slightly as a greeting, but her eyes lingered on Zhao Yuma's face for a moment. The two nodded to each other as a form of greeting. Zhao Yuma was still in a daze, completely bewildered. He hadn't expected to encounter such a thing. What on earth was going on?

Zhao Yuma's heart pounded wildly. He wasn't completely unaware of the inside story of Gao Lan's death; in fact, he had used some methods to help. It could be said that Gao Lan's death was related to almost half of the officialdom in Gaoshan County. If she hadn't died, no one would have had a good life. Therefore, it was best if someone had taken action.

But now there's a resurrected version of Gao Lan. What's going on? Zhao Yuma couldn't believe that Ma Guoliang wouldn't know about Lin Ying's arrival. He must have seen Lin Ying's photo. No wonder he hadn't sent her information to the Gaoshan County government and county committee group. It turns out she looks so much like Gao Lan.

Lin Ying walked into her office, glanced at Zhou Wenqing, and asked, "Where is County Magistrate Gao Lan's office?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenqing frowned slightly and quickly replied, "On the other end, what, you...?"

"Take me to see it." Lin Ying's words were concise, and her face was expressionless. The county government office did not give her Gao Lan's office, which was commendable. After all, Gao Lan died by suicide, but she was dead, and using a dead person's office was somewhat unlucky. However, she did not care about such things.

"This..." Zhou Wenqing glanced at Lin Ying with some difficulty. The latter frowned and looked at him with confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something troubling you?"

Zhou Wenqing hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Secretary Ma said that the feng shui there was bad, and that three county magistrates had died there in a row, so he ordered that office to be sealed off."

Lin Ying frowned again, thought for a moment, and then looked up: "It's nothing, I'll just go take a look." Gao Lan's office had seen three county magistrates die in a row, so the feng shui was indeed problematic, but was it man-made or a natural disaster? Three county magistrates died in a row, and each of them died mysteriously and suspiciously. If you said that there was no problem with the Gaoshan County government, she would never believe it even if you beat her to death.

"Alright, come with me!" Zhou Wenqing stopped insisting. Lin Ying followed him to the other end of the corridor. The sound of their steady footsteps echoed through the hallway.

In the deputy county head's office, Zhao Yuma's heart was pounding like a drum. He was already getting restless. He picked up his phone and dialed Ma Guoliang's number, but the other party did not answer. Undeterred, he dialed Liu Yixiong's number.

Zhao Yuma's voice trembled: "Director Liu, have you seen Lin Ying?"

"I've seen him, what's wrong?"

Damn it, Zhao Yuma felt an urge to curse. Damn it, you, Liu Yixiong, have met me, but you didn't tell me. When I'm old, I'll fuck your mother!

Such a big thing, and not one of you informed me, damn it!

Zhao Yuma cursed Liu Yixiong's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind!
