Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

"What's going on? Duan Fei, go out and see."

Soon, Duan Fei walked out of the house, and a moment later, he reappeared in front of Lin Ying: "I heard that the police outside are arresting a wanted criminal, apparently the former county magistrate's secretary, whose name is..."

"Sun Ping," Lin Ying suddenly spoke up, and Duan Fei quickly looked at her, "Yes, yes, that's Sun Ping."

Lin Ying was startled. According to relevant regulations, county heads are not allowed to have full-time secretaries. Therefore, local authorities usually use liaison officers to circumvent this rule. In formal regulations, only provincial-level leaders can have full-time secretaries.

Sun Ping, Gao Lan's liaison, has become a wanted criminal?

Lin Ying was puzzled. Gao Lan had only been dead for a short time, and her contact had already become a wanted criminal. Could it be such a coincidence?

"I think there's something fishy about this," Fatty Xu said, his eyes flashing with cold light. Gao Lan, the head of a county, died in her own dormitory, and her secretary became a wanted criminal so quickly. This whole thing just didn't look right.

"We can't do anything until we figure things out, so let's wait and see." Lin Ying looked out the window. It was getting dark, and there were police everywhere on the street. It seemed that Sun Ping had committed a serious crime.

"Fatty Xu, go out and see if you can find out what he did wrong." Lin Ying looked at the fat man, who nodded. Gathering intelligence and information was his forte.

"Duan Fei, go find a place to keep an eye on the outside. If you notice anything unusual, call me immediately."

"Xie Zhijun, go and find out where the highest point in this area is, and send me its location immediately."

"Yes," the two replied in unison, and quickly went out.

Lin Ying paced back and forth in the room. She hadn't even notified the Gaoshan County Party Committee and the government office yet, and this had happened. Since it had already happened, she decided to see just how capable the Gaoshan County police were. With that thought, she stepped out of the room.

Just as she reached the doorway, a young man walked in and said, "Hello, comrade, could I borrow a light?"

Lin Ying frowned, looked up at the other person, and saw that he was just a thin young man wearing glasses. He looked very refined. She was a woman, so she couldn't tell?

However, she immediately realized something was wrong, so she smiled slightly, turned around and went back: "It's inside, I'll get it for you."

To her surprise, just as she turned and went into the house, the young man quickly followed her in, reached out and slowly closed the door, locking it with a click.

Lin Ying suddenly turned around and looked at the other person with a half-smile on her face. Interesting, is this a home invasion robbery?

Her eyes were calm as water, with a strong sense of confidence that made the young man pause for a moment. He gritted his teeth, reached into his pocket with his right hand, and grabbed something.

Lin Ying's heart tightened, and she reached for her waist with her right hand.

"Listen to me, I'm not a bad person. Although I don't know who you are, my intuition tells me that you're not one of the police outside." The young man suddenly spoke, and Lin Ying was slightly taken aback. She didn't understand why he would draw such a conclusion.

She didn't speak, but just stared at the other person warily.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the young man hesitated for a moment, then slowly took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and looked at Lin Ying.

Lin Ying frowned slightly, wondering what the other party wanted to do.

"I have a USB drive here. Give this USB drive to Liu Yang, the secretary in the city government office, and he will give you some benefits. However, if you don't give the USB drive to him, you will also be in danger of being killed. So, I suggest you give it to him as soon as possible." After saying that, the young man put the USB drive on the table without thinking twice and turned to leave.

Lin Ying frowned. What did this young man mean? She wanted to call out to him, but in the end, she didn't speak. The young man quickly walked to the door, casually opened it, and slowly walked out.

Lin Ying walked to the table, picked up the USB drive, and couldn't help but wonder what this young man was up to.

Just as she was beginning to suspect something, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the hotel...

"There, there! That kid's over there! Don't let him get away! Quick, don't let him get away!" A series of chaotic footsteps echoed down the street.

Lin Ying quickly walked out of the house and stood behind the door looking out. She saw the young man disappear around the corner of the street, followed by more than a dozen plainclothes officers.

"Stop! Stop! Sun Ping, you stop right there!"

Sun Ping? Was that young man Sun Ping? Lin Ying frowned deeply. She didn't understand why the other party would hand over the item to her. However, judging from the situation just now, it seemed that the other party was desperate.

He handed it to someone named Liu Yang, Liu Yang, the secretary in the municipal government office?! Countless questions popped into Lin Ying's mind. She hadn't expected to encounter Gao Lan's secretary, and moreover, the other party had given her a USB drive. Was this a coincidence, or... did Sun Ping know who she was and do it intentionally?

It's unlikely; Sun Ping probably doesn't know her.

Is it really just a coincidence?

Just as Lin Ying was pondering, Ma Guoliang received some unsettling news in the county committee office. After hanging up the phone, he was furious, almost bursting with rage. He felt an urge to curse. The newly appointed police chief was also acting county head! Damn it, is this even allowed? What do they take the members of the Standing Committee of Gaoshan County for? Police chief, deputy secretary of the county committee, and acting county head—holding three positions at once! What kind of monster is this?

No, no, I think I mentioned part-time acting county head before, but it seems he automatically blocked out the part about part-time acting county head.

Ma Guoliang felt a vague unease. This kind of position would definitely lead to a seat on the Standing Committee, and moreover, holding the power of both the county government and the county public security bureau was unprecedented in Gaoshan County. Even as the county party secretary, he had never received such treatment. His two pre-selected spots were now completely gone.

Ma Guoliang was so angry he wanted to curse, but he knew it was too late to say anything now. He really didn't know what the higher-ups were thinking.

He picked up the phone and dialed, a smile plastered on his face: "Secretary Chang, aren't you resting yet?"

"Oh, Old Ma, no, what's wrong?"

"I'd like to ask you about something, it's about personnel appointments in our county. The newly appointed police chief is also acting county head. Are you aware of this?" This kind of concurrent appointment is rare, almost impossible. If a county head holds the power of the police, it would be a serious matter if something goes wrong.

"You want to ask whose idea this was, right?" Chang Yukun wasn't stupid. Ma Guoliang's phone call in the middle of the night definitely wasn't to catch up with him.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"This isn't an arrangement from the city, it's the province's decision." Chang Yukun's words made Ma Guoliang's heart skip a beat. The province's decision?

A sense of unease welled up in his heart again. What was this action trying to announce?
