Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Early in the morning, the No. 1 official vehicle of Gaoshan County appeared at the entrance of the county public security bureau. A short while later, Ma Guoliang got out of the car and walked into the county bureau office building.

Liu Yixiong went up to him with a smile, but the smile seemed somewhat forced: "Welcome, Secretary Ma!"

"Hello, Director Liu, thank you for your hard work. Recently, our Gaoshan County may be facing an inspection from higher authorities. We must do a good job of protecting and supporting them, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for the higher-ups, and even more so, not to tarnish the reputation of our Gaoshan County Public Security System."

"Yes, yes, Secretary, rest assured, we have made full preparations and are just waiting for your order to go and welcome the inspection and audit teams."

"Yes, I'm also waiting for notification. Let's wait a little longer." Ma Guoliang smiled and walked towards the lobby on the first floor of the Public Security Bureau. In fact, he only knew that the audit team was coming down today, but he hadn't been notified of the specific time they would arrive. He also hadn't been informed when Old Yuan would arrive. It could be said that he knew almost nothing about this surprise inspection and audit.

The attitude above has already made some sense. No matter what, Gaoshan County cannot be in chaos. Ma Guoliang is still the secretary of Gaoshan. As long as he is there, Gaoshan will still be Gaoshan.

Just as the two reached the entrance to the first-floor hallway, Liu Yixiong's phone suddenly rang urgently. He picked up the phone, frowned, and looked at Ma Guoliang, who nodded: "You answer it."

Liu Yixiong quickly stepped aside to answer the phone. A woman's sobbing voice came from the other end: "Director Liu, you must save Jianmin! He's been taken away by the police!"

Liu Yixiong was not surprised, although the fact that Pan Liting only called now indicated that she was likely with the police before.

"It's alright. I already know about Jianmin's situation. Don't worry, we're working on a solution. He's a good comrade, and we will never allow anyone to retaliate against an ordinary police officer, especially since he's a cadre. We won't wrong a good comrade, so don't worry." The implication was that Li Jianmin had been wronged.

Upon hearing this, Pan Liting felt a little more at ease, but she was still worried, since the other party seemed to be the newly arrived police chief.

"Tell me what happened last night, what exactly happened?" Liu Yixiong wasn't present, and to avoid a direct confrontation, he couldn't possibly appear at Li Jianmin's house immediately; otherwise, Lin Ying would immediately suspect him. As for Lü Dayong, he and Lin Ying had completely missed each other, so Lü Dayong hadn't seen anyone at all.

"They said that Old Li killed County Magistrate Gao Lan." Pan Liting's words made Liu Yixiong's heart pound, his blood rush to his head, and he almost lost his balance. Had the truth been exposed?

That's impossible! How could it be? That thing was done flawlessly. Apart from Wang Dalong and his group and Li Jianmin, the executor, almost no one knew about it. Even Brother Ma didn't know the details. How could they have found out so quickly?

"Who told you this nonsense?" Liu Yixiong deliberately raised his voice, his tone revealing displeasure.

"It was the female bureau chief herself who said it. She also said that they had solid evidence."

Liu Yixiong's expression changed again, and his obese body trembled slightly. Lin Ying had already obtained conclusive evidence? How could that be?

"What's wrong?" Ma Guoliang's voice rang out from not far away. He glanced at Liu Yixiong and frowned.

"Ah, it's nothing, Secretary, I'll be right there after I finish this call." Liu Yixiong's heart pounded. Lin Ying would never make things up out of thin air. She dared to say that and even dared to arrest someone that night, so she must have evidence. It seems that he was too careless. But what could that evidence be?

Liu Yixiong was a little flustered. He comforted Pan Liting for a couple of minutes before hanging up the phone. His face was slightly pale.

Suddenly, he thought of the female forensic doctor who had escaped and had not been caught since. Could it be evidence in her possession?

"Yixiong, are you feeling unwell? You look terrible." Ma Guoliang's voice was gentle, but to Liu Yixiong it was a warning. They were going to pick up the audit team from the province later, and he couldn't afford to be in this state.

He quickly composed himself, and the expression on his face softened slightly.

A black minivan was driving on the highway leading to the Gaoshan County Public Security Bureau. Inside, several police officers looked solemn.

"How's it going? Did you shake off the car behind?" someone asked from the side.

"Not yet. The other side is holding firm, probably preparing to choose a place to make their move."

"What should we do? Although there's no one in our car, we have to buy time for the captain and Director Lin. Otherwise, if they get cornered too, we'll be in trouble."

"Let's go our own way and ignore them for now. Let's try to attract their attention."

"There's a bread truck behind us, with at least eight people on it. Keep an eye on them." There are only three of them; if something happens to them, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

"Let's lead them to a crowded place and see what they're up to." The car sped towards the city's main road.

In the opposite direction, a black SUV was driving on the main road. Xie Zhijun gripped the steering wheel and carefully looked around. Finally, two white vans appeared behind him.

"They're here, what do we do?" Xie Zhijun's voice was slightly hurried. They were being watched, and then, there were two cars.

"Ignore them for now, go to the Armed Police squadron, and then head to the base."

"But I remember the road leading to the Armed Police detachment is a bit remote; they might choose to make their move there." The more remote the location, the more likely a hostage situation is. The probability of such an incident is quite high.

"Don't panic, proceed according to plan for now, and we'll adapt to the situation as it unfolds." Director Lin's voice was calm, and her expression was equally composed. Beside her, Yuan Xiong nodded. The other officers were somewhat nervous; after all, it had been many years since they'd encountered a situation where a criminal had been directly taken hostage. The criminals in Gaoshan were indeed incredibly audacious.

Li Jianmin listened quietly, his mind racing, wondering where the base Lin Ying had mentioned was. If he were taken to that so-called base, it wouldn't be easy for Liu Yixiong to find him. No, he had to find a way to get the message out.

Thinking of this, he shifted his waist uneasily.

"Behave yourself. If you dare to move, don't blame us for being impolite."

"I'm a human being, not a statue. It's okay to move around a bit after sitting for a long time, right? Besides, our Party and our bureau have always advocated for leniency towards suspects. I'm not a real criminal, just a suspect. I still have that much human right, don't I?" Li Jianmin deliberately gave the two policemen Yuan Xiong brought a provocative look.

The two exchanged a glance, clearly unperturbed by Li Jianmin's words.

They're veteran police officers; they can see through these tricks.

However, just as the car crossed an intersection, a large truck suddenly sped towards them...
