Ma Guoliang was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Liu Yixiong to come up with such a despicable tactic. But the more despicable, the less morally upright; perhaps only a veteran police officer like Liu Yixiong could conceive of such a thing. Indeed, after so many years as a policeman, while he might not be able to say much else, Liu Yixiong's skill in scheming was truly exceptional.

"I don't care what method you use, just get her away. Also, remember, don't touch her. She's a special forces soldier. A small incident won't hurt her, but if something serious happens, I'm afraid the military region will have a hard time explaining it." Ma Guoliang wasn't stupid. Of course, he knew that some people couldn't be touched, such as some military region cadres. If something really happened to them, the military region would definitely stand up for them.

With a snap, the phone rang. Liu Yixiong's lips curled into a cold smile. A new bureau chief had arrived. Good, very good indeed. He'd like to see if he had three heads and six arms, daring to wade into the mudslinging waters of his own Gaoshan County. It seemed he'd have to make another move. Thinking this, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed: "Chief Li, the new police chief arrives tomorrow. Are you ready?"

"Ah, Director Liu, this, we..." The person on the phone was a little scared. Did they have to deal with the new director just like they did with the new county magistrate?

"Oh, it's the same as before, as usual. However, I heard that the other party was a soldier, so you need to be careful. Make sure your things and people are ready, and do a good job this time."

"Okay, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task."

"Okay, but this time we need to hire two men. The other party is a woman, and I heard she's quite good-looking. We'll do it through prostitution."

"Huh?" The other person was completely dumbfounded. The new police chief was prostituting himself in the city where he was to take office—this plot was definitely sensational enough. However, probably only Gao Shan would dare to do such a thing. With three county magistrates dying in a year, what wouldn't they dare to do?

At the train station, Lin Ying quietly sized up the young man in front of her, a smile appearing on her face. The young man looked at her back with a smile as well: "Instructor, are you preparing to go to Gaoshan County to fight crime?" The young man grinned.

"How about it? Come with me, are you interested?" Lin Ying knew very well that Gaoshan County was a place where three county magistrates died in a single year, so the situation must be incredibly complicated, and the extent of corruption in the area was unimaginable.

"Gaoshan County is my hometown, I'm going there."

"Really?" Lin Ying was taken aback. Was it really such a coincidence?

"Instructor, do you remember when I told you about my sister?"

Lin Ying was startled again, a sense of unease flashing through her mind. Could it be that the person Duan Fei mentioned was at the Gaoshan County Public Security Bureau?

"Yes, he was at the Gaoshan County Public Security Bureau. I was young back then, but I would recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes. Moreover, he had the scratches I left on his arm, the kind of wounds that don't heal easily." Duan Fei's gaze was sharp as a knife. He trained hard in combat in the army so that one day he could avenge his sister.

"We're here to investigate a case, not to settle personal scores. If you can't follow orders, don't come with me." Lin Ying knew very well how good Duan Fei was at fighting and how strong his combat skills were, but if the other party was only there to settle personal scores, then things would get a bit complicated.

"Instructor, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I must avenge my sister, but I also want to restore peace and order to Gaoshan County." Duan Fei's eyes were bright and resolute.

Lin Ying nodded slowly.

Just then, a fat man walked towards Lin Ying: "Director Lin, the matter is settled. How about it? Shall we head back to the station?"

Lin Ying glanced at the other person and slowly shook her head: "Let's not go back for now, let's find a hotel to stay in first. By the way, have your listening equipment arrived?"

"Don't worry, everyone is in position and waiting for your command."

"Let's get to know each other, this is Duan Fei."

"Duan Fei, this is Xiao Pang, a communications expert from the province. By the way, what's your name again?"

"Xu Pang, you can also call me Fatty Xu." The fat man laughed, his eyes narrowing into slits, making them completely invisible.

"Hello, Duan Fei." Duan Fei shook hands with Xu Pang. Just then, another person walked over from not far away and looked at Lin Ying.

"Captain Lin?" The newcomer's expression was extremely cold, as if nothing could shake his will.

"Xie Zhijun?" Lin Ying could sense that this young man himself was like a gun, the best sniper.

"Yes, sniper Xie Zhijun reporting for duty."

"A sniper? Oh my god!" Fatty Xu was startled. He didn't understand why Director Lin had brought in a sniper. He was very curious and looked the man up and down a few times.

The three got to know each other and then left the train station with Lin Ying.

The group had no idea that they had been watched from the moment they entered Gaoshan County. However, the trackers soon discovered that they had lost track of them.

"Damn, they're incredibly audacious. They even dare to follow you?" Fatty Xu couldn't take it anymore. Who were these people?

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Lin Ying glanced at the other person. Xu Pang was not only a communications expert, but also an operations expert.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, I, Fatty Xu, am no pushover either. I'm just wondering how they can be so bold as to dare to follow the newly appointed police chief. How much do they disregard you?"

Lin Ying smiled faintly, clearly not caring: "It's not difficult to get my photo. Either someone from the Municipal Organization Department can send it to me when I take office, or I might choose to go incognito on my own. So, the other party was prepared."

Lin Ying was not at ease. Being watched as soon as she entered Gaoshan County was not a good thing. Moreover, the person who was watching her was very professional, like a veteran. Where did he come from?

"Duan Fei, go out and see if that kid has followed us."

Duan Fei nodded. For him, taking down a stalker was a piece of cake. The waters in Gaoshan County were indeed a bit murky.

Soon, Duan Fei returned, his expression somewhat grim: "The person who was following us didn't come up, but there are quite a few people around here, they look like plainclothes officers."

Duan Fei's words made Lin Ying frown. What did he mean? Plainclothes officers were following her, the newly appointed police chief?

This is giving them face!

A cold glint flashed in Lin Ying's eyes, and a fierce fighting spirit surged within them. If it were before, she would have rushed out and knocked everyone unconscious. However, now, she could not easily resort to violence. After all, her current status would not allow her to act rashly.

"Could it be a case?" Fatty Xu suddenly asked.

Lin Ying raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and felt that this was the most likely possibility.

But just as she was about to assign tasks, she suddenly heard a sharp scream: "Ah!"
