Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Ma Guoliang had no choice but to leave Baiyun City. On the way, he received a call from Zhao Yuma. Although the other party did not blame him, he still pointed out the fact that Lin Ying and Gao Lan looked very similar. These words were like a knife stabbing into the depths of Ma Guoliang's heart, making his already terrible mood even worse.

"County Chief Zhao, what do you want to say? Huh? What exactly do you want to say?" Ma Guoliang suddenly shouted into the phone. Zhao Yuma's expression changed. He hadn't expected Ma Guoliang to get angry at him. He quickly softened his tone: "Secretary Ma, I don't mean anything by it. I just wanted to remind you, could Lin Ying have some kind of relationship with Gao Lan? If she really does have a relationship with Gao Lan, I think things might be more complicated." Although he didn't know how Gao Lan died, he was very clear that Ma Guoliang must know the inside story of Gao Lan's death, and that he knew it beforehand. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called him that night to tell him not to worry, that Gao Lan's matter could be resolved immediately.

Fortunately, I didn't act rashly at the time.

Hearing his admission of weakness, Ma Guoliang softened slightly, but his expression remained grim: "Yu Ma, you know what's happened in our county these past few days. We need to work together to find a solution, pool our wisdom and efforts. Otherwise, the situation in our Gaoshan County today is not optimistic, you know that?"

"I know, Secretary Ma, please rest assured. Under your leadership, I will definitely focus on the economic, infrastructure, and technological development of the mountainous region, and help us achieve a new level of revenue this year."

Ma Guoliang nodded on the phone, but this statement was probably too exaggerated. Currently, all major projects in Gaoshan County have been halted; how will they generate revenue? Next year's GDP figures will definitely look terrible. Therefore, Zhao Yuma's statement was too unreliable and somewhat irresponsible.

Ma Guoliang couldn't worry about anything else right now, so he had to go back to Gaoshan first.

Li Shuwen walked out of the county government dormitory and let out a long sigh of relief. He hadn't expected that there would still be one culprit who had slipped through the net. Thinking about how to resolve the matter, he quickly picked up the phone and dialed. The phone rang a few times before the other end answered: "Feed."

"Hey, boss, things are all sorted out," Li Shuwen quickly said.

"Hmm, good job. Come back soon, and don't let anyone see you. Remember, this can't happen again. If this happens again, you fucking get the hell out of here." The man's dissatisfied roar came from the phone.

"Yes, yes, boss, don't worry, there won't be a future, really there won't be. I'll definitely watch that old bastard leave the mountains, don't worry!"

"That's for the best. By the way, are you sure he didn't see anything?"

"No, we're sure. At that time, they were all on guard outside, so it was impossible for anyone to get close. You can rest assured."

"Hmm, he took the money?"

"Take it. He'll get 500,000. That's his income over several decades, enough for him to live on for the rest of his life." Li Shuwen felt that 500,000 was too much for an old man, not worth that much.

"Alright, that's enough about this. Like I said, it's best not to make any moves recently, and don't even think about touching that old man, understand?"

"Understood, boss. Don't worry, we won't touch him. He seems quite obedient, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"That's good." With a snap, the phone hung up, and Li Shuwen breathed a long sigh of relief; the matter was finally over.

That night, he thought everything was foolproof. No one expected that someone would suddenly return halfway through, and it was a security guard, especially one who was on duty at Building 2. So he had to be careful. Only after confirming that the matter was over when the other party entered did he dare to use 500,000 to make the other party disappear.

In the dormitory, Old Liang held the bag, staring blankly at the several bundles of banknotes. This much money was enough for him to live on for the rest of his life. His son could get married, and there would still be a considerable sum left. Besides, he couldn't fight against those people; staying any longer would surely lead to trouble. Originally, after witnessing that incident that night, he had wanted to quit. If it weren't for the fear of suspicion, if it weren't for the worry of not finding such a good job, he would have truly left. After all, what he saw that night had kept him up at night. The thought of it kept him awake all night.

Just as he was lost in thought, a rapid knocking sounded at the door: "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

Knock knock knock... knock knock knock... The knocking was very urgent.

"Who is it?" Old Liang quickly hid the black bag under the bed, stood up alertly, picked up his baton, and slowly walked to the door.

"We're from the county public security bureau. We need to ask you about something," a deep voice came from outside.

"From the county public security bureau?" Old Liang was startled. He quickly put down his baton, slowly opened the dormitory door, and looked outside. He saw two police officers standing at the door.

"you……"

"We are from the county public security bureau. We would like to ask you about the case of County Magistrate Gao Lan."

Old Liang's nostrils twitched instantly, his eyes darted away, and he quickly and deliberately spoke loudly, "County Chief Gao Lan, I don't know her!"

Duan Fei frowned slightly. Why was this security guard reacting so strongly?

Realizing that his behavior might be a bit off, Lao Liang quickly gestured for them to come in and talk.

Duan Fei and Fatty went inside and glanced around the dormitory. Duan Fei looked at Lao Liang, who subconsciously looked under his bed and was slightly startled.

Duan Fei immediately spotted the black bag, which seemed somewhat out of place compared to the simple dormitory.

However, he didn't make a fuss about it; buying a nicer travel bag wasn't illegal.

"Are you Lao Liang?" Duan Fei asked.

"Yes, who are you two?"

"I am Duan Fei, and this is my colleague, Xu Pang. These are our police IDs." After saying this, the two of them took out their IDs at the same time. Old Liang glanced at them calmly, but did not dare to take them. He just nodded slightly.

"Was your team leader Wu Xiangqian on duty on the night of May 17th?" Duan Fei asked.

Old Liang nodded: "Mhm."

"I heard he resigned?" Duan Fei's words startled Lao Liang, who had just heard that Wu Xiangqian had resigned as well. He knew there must be a reason, and it was definitely related to Gao Lan's case.

"Yes, I just heard about it too."

Do you know where he went? Do you have his contact information?

"This... I... I don't have it." Old Liang lied. Duan Fei and Xu Pang exchanged glances. They didn't have Wu Xiangqian's contact information. This old man was suspicious. They were colleagues, and the security department said they'd been partners for years—how could he not have each other's contact information? He was kidding!
