"It's him?!" Wang Dalong's expression changed drastically, and even Zhao Jiu next to him was startled. Only Wang Dahu was confused.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Dalong seemed preoccupied, and his gaze towards Zhao Jiu held a hint of anger. This incident at this juncture was clearly not a good thing.

Zhao Jiu felt a little guilty and lowered his head. Wang Dalong snorted coldly: "Alright, hurry back and prepare. Don't let anyone take advantage of the situation. Remember, we must find that undercover agent. Otherwise, if he finds any evidence, we're all finished."

"Yes, Brother Long," Zhao Jiu quickly replied. Wang Dalong then turned his gaze to Wang Dahu and added, "Dahu, go help Lao Jiu. Remember, you must be quick and ruthless, and don't leave any evidence."

"Understood, brother." Wang Dahu knew that things were indeed getting a bit tricky.

"Big brother, who is that guy surnamed Yuan? Why are you all so afraid of him?" Wang Dahu asked curiously. Wang Dalong just glared at him, didn't answer immediately, took a few deep drags on his cigarette, exhaled a long ring of smoke, and then slowly said, "He used to be in charge of the Discipline Inspection Commission, his name was Yuan Buzhou."

"It's him?!" Wang Dahu was instantly shocked, his face changed drastically, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes. He had heard of that old man; he was a ruthless character. Why would he have his eye on Gao Shan?

Wang Dahu wanted to say something more, but Wang Dalong waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can all go back to your work. Remember, don't cause any more trouble, and deal with what we just discussed as soon as possible."

"Understood, brother."

"Okay, Brother Long."

The two got up and walked out of the villa. Outside the window, the morning star hung high in the sky, and both looked somewhat tired. Zhao Jiu couldn't help but worry. He knew that Wang Dahu was Brother Long's younger brother; if something really happened, he wouldn't do anything to his own brother, but his old buddy was a different story.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. Fortunately, his plan was already underway. If all else failed, he would go abroad and cross the border through Myanmar. Hmph, then even the Emperor himself wouldn't be able to stop him.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Nine, what are you thinking about? You're not thinking of running away, are you?" Wang Dahu looked at Zhao Laojiu, who was startled, his face instantly changing. He looked at Wang Dahu sheepishly, "Dahu, what are you talking about? Why would I think of running away? Besides, where would I run to? Without Brother Long and you, it's no use running anywhere!"

"You're smart enough to run away. Let me tell you, don't even think about running away. Besides, things haven't gotten to the point of no return yet. If you run away, things will get complicated. You know what my brother and Brother Ma are capable of. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, they'll still find you. You should think about Zou San."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiu's eyelids twitched violently, his heart pounded, and he quickly nodded, feeling extremely uncomfortable. What did Wang Dahu mean? Was it his own idea? Or did Wang Dalong tell him to say it?

Is this a threat? A warning? Is Wang Dalong worried that he'll abscond with the money?

Hmph, it seems Wang Dalong has already become suspicious of me. Could it be that I've revealed some flaw? For a moment, Zhao Jiu felt a little uneasy.

At the edge of the Black Forest, several cars were parked by the roadside when Lin Ying's phone suddenly rang, waking Duan Fei and Xie Zhijun at the same time.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Boss, this is Xu Pang. That recording has been checked and there are no problems. It's authentic and can be used as evidence."

On the phone, Fatty Xu sounded very excited. No one expected that before he died, Lao Liang had actually recorded a message. It was this message that confirmed the events of that night: someone had witnessed Gao Lan's death, and Lao Liang was the witness.

Lin Ying's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly instructed, "Keep the items safe immediately. Remember, don't tell anyone, and don't let anyone find out you used the testing equipment." There are too many corrupt officials in the Gaoshan County Bureau; they can't catch them all in one go, so the only thing to do is to keep it confidential. Lin Ying couldn't confirm exactly which people had been completely corrupted.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying glanced at Duan Fei and Xie Zhijun. This time, they were going to make an arrest. However, this side was also important; Duan Fei had to stay.

"Xie Zhijun, you come with me. Duan Fei, you stay here and help us find the killer. Go to their car, get out!"

Duan Fei quickly got out of the car, and Lin Ying drove off.

Around 4:30 a.m., Lin Ying's car appeared in front of the county public security bureau. She knew someone was watching her, but the person keeping watch was left in the woods of Louhua Village and wouldn't be able to come out anytime soon.

She hurried back to her office, quickly downloaded the relevant documents to her computer, and then quickly left. The car sped into the sleeping city.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Soon, Lin Ying and Xie Zhijun appeared in front of a residential complex. As they looked up, they saw several people standing in front of them. The young man at the head of the group was burly and handsome. Seeing Lin Ying approach, he quickly went to greet her: "Director Lin, hello! The Second Detachment of the Provincial Department is reporting for duty."

"Hello, Comrade Yuan Xiong, thank you for your hard work. We'll take action tonight. How many of you have come in total?"

"Six men. Don't worry, they're all skilled and experienced, and they're all armed." Yuan Xiong knew that the person they were going to arrest today was a policeman, and a veteran one at that, making it extremely dangerous.

Lin Ying nodded: "Let everyone come over and explain the situation. Here is a photo of the suspect. Please pass it around for everyone to see." After saying that, Lin Ying handed over a photo, which Yuan Xiong quickly took and began to pass it to his companions one by one to familiarize themselves with it.

When it was handed to the third person, suddenly, the person's expression changed, and they exclaimed in surprise, "How could it be him?"

Lin Ying frowned, looked at the comrade, and then asked Yuan Xiong, "Who is he?"

"His name is Zhou Chengyue. He's the one in our team specifically responsible for tracking people. Don't worry, he's absolutely fine. He probably knows the person in the photo."

Lin Ying didn't specify who to arrest; they only recognized photos, not people, to avoid leaks. That was the rule. If it were just an ordinary person, she might not care, but the other party was a seasoned veteran police officer.

"You stay here and watch the car, the rest of you come with me." Yuan Xiong paused for a moment, then glared at Zhou Chengyue, whose face flushed slightly with embarrassment. He recognized the person in the photo, but they had only met once at the provincial government office and had no real interaction.

"Building 3, 18th floor, quick!" Lin Ying took the lead and ran towards Building 3 of the community. Behind her, Xie Zhijun, Yuan Xiong and others quickly followed.

In the darkness, they moved like cheetahs, their movements light and swift.
