Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

"Because I was afraid of being discovered, I could only observe from a distance. But after they went in, they closed the door, so I couldn't see what was happening inside. But then I heard County Chief Gao scream, and I knew something must have happened. So I prepared to rush in, but Li Jianmin's brother-in-law, Pan Xiaobin, surrounded me with his men, saying I had committed a crime and they were going to take me away. It wasn't until that moment that I realized they had been planning to attack me and County Chief Gao all along. I seized an opportunity and escaped."

"I...I...I know, something must have happened to County Chief Gao, something must have happened to her. The next day, I heard the news of her suicide attempt. I know she couldn't have committed suicide, she couldn't have committed suicide." Sun Ping's voice trembled, and his expression was very agitated. On the monitor, his heart rate increased rapidly. With a bang, the doctor pushed open the door and entered: "You must stop talking, otherwise, his life will be in immediate danger." After saying that, he walked anxiously to the hospital bed, looked at Lin Ying, and was somewhat angry.

"It's alright, doctor. I know my own body. If I don't speak up now, I'll never have another chance," Sun Ping said softly.

Lin Ying and Xie Zhijun's hearts pounded simultaneously. Did Sun Ping know he was dying?!

A tense atmosphere filled the ward. Due to the confidentiality of the case, the doctor had to leave.

Lin Ying didn't mention that Gao Lan had been assaulted. She didn't know if Sun Ping knew, and if he didn't, she let him not know. She didn't know if Sun Ping could handle such a blow. Sun Ping was Gao Lan's liaison, and their relationship was definitely not ordinary. If he knew that Gao Lan had been assaulted, Sun Ping would certainly not be able to bear it.

"Director Lin, Li Jianmin has his brother-in-law Pan Xiaobin do a lot of the work. His wife Pan Liting has always been his front man for collecting money. Their family runs a tobacco and liquor store. If you check the accounts, you can find out exactly how much money Li Jianmin has collected over the years."

Lin Ying was shocked and quickly signaled Xie Zhijun to write down the information. She never imagined that Li Jianmin would be so lawless, openly leading men into County Magistrate Gao Lan's dormitory to harm him.

Sun Ping's voice grew weaker and weaker until it was almost inaudible. Lin Ying quickly added, "You should rest first. We'll talk later."

To everyone's surprise, Sun Ping shook his head, his face deathly pale, his lips devoid of any color: "Director Lin, you..." He glanced at Xie Zhijun, hesitating to speak. Lin Ying understood his meaning, and brought her ear close to his mouth. A barely audible voice slowly entered her ear: "Director Lin, you need to be careful. They have people in the province."

Lin Ying was startled. Sun Ping slowly loosened his grip on his right hand, staring blankly at the ceiling with a faint smile on his lips, as if he had let go of something.

"Doctor, call a doctor quickly!" The data on the monitor rapidly approached the parallel lines. The monitor's sound was urgent and brief, lasting only a dozen seconds before abruptly stopping.

The doctor rushed into the ward, stopped abruptly, and stared intently at Sun Ping on the bed, pausing slightly. He walked over, examined Sun Ping's eyelids, slowly shook his head, had the tubes removed from the patient, and then gently covered Sun Ping's head with a white sheet.

Lin Ying and Xie Zhijun were shocked. An overwhelming sense of anger and sorrow filled the ward. Sun Ping was gone! This liaison officer, who had only worked for three months but had been chased for almost ten days because of Gao Lan, and who wanted to avenge Gao Lan, was gone.

Lin Ying felt a tightness in her chest, and her eyes reddened slightly. She never expected that things would be so difficult when facing a hidden enemy. The witness she had personally rescued lost all vital signs in less than two hours.

Sun Ping really left?!

Lin Ying recalled the young man's composure and wisdom when she first met him that day, his caution towards strangers and his calm and collected handling of the police pursuit. If he were alive, he would be a good cadre.

Both of them felt extremely heavy-hearted. Xie Zhijun could also sense that Lin Ying was suppressing an invisible anger. If someone lit the fuse, Lin Ying might explode. Therefore, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Ying and did not dare to speak.

"Keep Sun Ping's death a secret for now. At the same time, tell Liu Yixiong that Sun Ping is in my hands. I want to see if Li Jianmin dares to come to the hospital and kill someone!" Lin Ying's voice was filled with boundless anger. Openly murdering a state cadre, and then turning black into white, framing a state official as a criminal and using vigilante justice against him—one thing after another showed that the Gaoshan County Bureau was rotten to the core.

Xie Zhijun nodded quickly, and Lin Ying added, "Tell Lei Shuming that no one is allowed to visit those who have been taken away; they are criminals who endanger public safety. Also, notify Duan Fei to find Lao Liang's whereabouts as soon as possible and find a way to bring him back." Lin Ying now felt that Lao Liang was a key witness in Gao Lan's case. If he spoke, then there would be a witness who had seen those people that night—besides Li Jianmin, who else could it be?

"Immediately initiate an investigation into Li Jianmin. Conduct the investigation covertly. Remember, do not use personnel from the bureau; instead, transfer personnel from the provincial department."

"I encountered something strange while rescuing people today." After saying that, Xie Zhijun took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Ying. She frowned slightly and immediately understood. Before coming to Gaoshan County, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, Meng Jianguo, said that someone would be secretly cooperating with him. It seemed that the other party had already infiltrated the enemy's ranks.

"Never mind that for now. Get the people moving as quickly as possible. Also, remember, have someone monitor Li Jianmin 24/7. I want to keep a close watch on him in Gaoshan County. I want to see what kind of trouble this criminal investigation team leader can cause!"

Lin Ying hated Li Jianmin, such a scoundrel, to the extreme. Without his help, those people could not have found Gao Lan's dormitory so quickly, nor could they have succeeded so easily. It was a dormitory run by the county government. Without the help of the police, how could they have gotten in?! It was also Li Jianmin who was chasing Sun Ping. This man was rotten to the core.

"Have the provincial department send a few skilled trackers to keep Li Jianmin and Lü Dayong under surveillance from now on. In particular, do not overlook any details about Li Jianmin. Do not allow him to leave the county, let alone the city or the province, to prevent him from escaping."

"This might be difficult; we'll need orders from above." Xie Zhijun hesitated for a moment. He understood Lin Ying's urgency, but Li Jianmin was a policeman, and a veteran one at that. He would definitely take action if he heard any suspicious activity. Moreover, if he noticed anything amiss, the people following him would be in great danger, given his special status.
