Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Chapter 33 Taking the Initiative

Lin Ying quickly found Zhou Yue from the anti-prostitution team. Zhou Yue looked nervous when he saw Lin Ying; it was his first time facing Lin Ying, the newly appointed police chief. He seemed somewhat uneasy.

"Captain Zhou, today, please have the anti-prostitution team stay a little later. I have a task for everyone."

Zhou Yue's heart skipped a beat. The anti-prostitution squad hadn't received any assignments in a long time, not because there were few prostitution venues in Gaoshan County, but because there was simply no need to investigate. Their superiors wouldn't allow them to investigate either.

"Director Lin, may I ask what kind of mission this is?" Zhou Yue felt a little uneasy. In the past, Liu Yixiong arranged the missions. His anti-prostitution team was directly under Liu Yixiong's command, so he had to report to him.

"It's not convenient to disclose at the moment, but it's nothing major. I just wanted to catch up with everyone. What's up?" Lin Ying's words were ambiguous, leaving Zhou Yue somewhat puzzled. Seeing that Lin Ying was unwilling to say more, he stopped asking and had no choice but to leave.

Duan Fei dialed Lao Liang's number, but no one answered for a long time. He felt a little uneasy. There was definitely something wrong with Lao Liang. Just now, that black travel bag didn't seem to be his.

He quickly took out his phone and dialed Fatty Xu's number: "Hey, Fatty, I'll give you a number. Can you track the other person's location using this number?"

"Well, it's fine if the other person's phone is on, but it's best if you can talk to them."

"The other party is not answering the phone." Duan Fei also wanted to talk to the other party.

After hanging up the phone, Duan Fei became anxious. If Lao Liang really came back that night, then he probably saw something; otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly resigned.

Thinking of this, he quickly dialed Lin Ying's cell phone: "Boss, this Lao Liang may have seen something that night. I suggest we invite him back to assist with the investigation."

"Okay, you handle it yourself." Lin Ying didn't object. Now, with multiple paths open and multiple clues emerging, she could only find Sun Ping as soon as possible. She believed he would definitely be a breakthrough, after all, the USB drive in her hand could explain everything.

We must find Sun Ping as soon as possible and rescue him.

Thinking of this, Lin Ying quickly walked out of the office. Just as she was about to head outside, an Audi A6 stopped in the yard. A figure hurriedly got out of the car. When he looked up, he saw Lin Ying. The person was slightly stunned and his body trembled violently. Sure enough, she looked too much like Gao Lan.

Ma Guoliang was also seeing Lin Ying in person for the first time, and he was still startled by her appearance. If he didn't know that Gao Lan was dead, he would have really thought it was Gao Lan herself.

Lin Ying never expected that the two of them would bump into each other like this.

"Is this Director Lin?" Ma Guoliang stepped forward, forcing a smile.

Lin Ying stepped forward and looked at Ma Guoliang: "Hello, Secretary Ma, I am Lin Ying, the newly appointed Director of the Public Security Bureau."

"Hello, Comrade Lin Ying!" Ma Guoliang reached out and shook Lin Ying's hand, which Lin Ying returned slightly. Their eyes met, and Ma Guoliang's gaze revealed a complex and indescribable emotion. This Lin Ying would be the biggest variable in his official career, and also in Gaoshan County. The reason he had come to the Municipal Bureau was to find out something.

"Comrade Lin Ying, come on, let's go to your office for a chat. You just arrived, and we haven't had a proper welcome dinner yet. How about we arrange it tonight?"

Lin Ying was surprised by Ma Guoliang's sudden move, and quickly smiled and said, "Secretary Ma, you're too kind. I just arrived and there are still many things to sort out. Whether we have a welcome dinner or not is not important. After I've become more familiar with the work, I'll treat everyone to dinner." This was a polite way of declining Ma Guoliang's arrangement.

Ma Guoliang's heart sank slightly, but his face remained unchanged. This person was the Public Security Bureau Chief, Acting County Head, and Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee—the second most powerful figure from the start, and he controlled two powerful institutions. This configuration was simply outrageous. Therefore, it was understandable that this person wouldn't give Ma Guoliang any face.

In Ma Guoliang's eyes, he always listened to whoever had the most power, so he didn't dare to go too far with Lin Ying.

"Well done, Director Lin, your spirit is truly commendable. If only our comrades in Gaoshan County had half of your spirit." Ma Guoliang deliberately praised her a few more times, and as he spoke, he arrived at Lin Ying's office.

Lin Ying pushed open the door and let Ma Guoliang in. Ma Guoliang didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa with an air of nonchalance.

Lin Ying poured him a glass of water, and Ma Guoliang made another call to Liu Yixiong, who rushed to Lin Ying's office.

A rapid knocking sound rang out.

"Come in," Lin Ying said casually. With a creak, Liu Yixiong pushed the door open and entered.

"Secretary, Director Lin."

"You're here, Yixiong, have a seat!" Ma Guoliang took the initiative and ordered. Liu Yixiong obediently sat down on the sofa to the side.

"Yi Xiong, I called you here for no other reason than to remind you that Director Lin is new here. No matter what happens, you should help her as much as possible and not put all the burden on her shoulders."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yixiong immediately understood and nodded to assure him, "Secretary, rest assured, we will fully support the work of the Forestry Bureau and strive to elevate the work of the Municipal Bureau to a new level under the leadership of the Forestry Bureau."

Ma Guoliang nodded in satisfaction, said a few words of encouragement, and then let Liu Yixiong leave.

Lin Ying didn't speak. Of course, she understood what Ma Guoliang meant. He wanted to tell her that this Public Security Bureau was also the Public Security Bureau of Gaoshan County, and it had to listen to him, the county party secretary, who was the highest leader of Gaoshan County.

"By the way, Director Lin, there's something I want to ask you." Ma Guoliang changed the subject and finally got to the point.

"Please speak." Lin Ying didn't know what Ma Guoliang wanted to do, but since she had just arrived and hadn't met Ma Guoliang yet, his initiative to come over was a kind of attitude.

"Director Lin, given your special status, you must have heard that in the past two days, we received notices from the province and city that all funding for Gaoshan County has been suspended. Moreover, the funding for several of our major projects has been blocked by higher authorities. The province and city are also sending working groups to audit the county. The provincial and municipal audit departments have successively sent official documents to conduct a full audit of Gaoshan County's financial situation."

At this point, Lin Ying's heart skipped a beat, and she finally understood why Ma Guoliang had come. This old fox had come to gather information.

Lin Ying's expression remained unchanged. She glanced at Ma Guoliang but said nothing.

"Director Lin, you're a cadre in Gaoshan now. We need to work together to seek benefits for Gaoshan County's development. The way the province and city are doing this is clearly someone targeting Gaoshan County. Do you know who's behind this?"
