Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Chapter 82 Holding onto a glimmer of hope

"We don't know what the data on the USB drive is yet, but if it weren't important data, Lin Ying wouldn't have sent someone all the way there." The woman also had many years of auditing experience, so she was pretty sure it was true.

"Is there any way to get that USB drive out? Who has it now?" The other person's voice was very urgent. If it really was the information Gao Lan had found out, then it would be a real problem.

"It's in Old Yuan's hands," the woman replied. The other party immediately fell silent. He was unyielding to both soft and hard tactics when in the old man's hands. What to do?

"If you want to get the information, you'd better hurry, otherwise, no one can guarantee that the information won't end up in the hands of the provincial leaders." The woman was also frustrated. On her first day here, Lin Ying sent someone to deliver the information to her door. If that information was key evidence, then their actions would be swift, and they would find out the real economic problems very quickly.

"Secretary, I suggest you try to get the USB drive back, otherwise, this matter..." The woman repeated herself. His mind was in turmoil. He had never encountered anything like this in all these years. Ever since Gao Lan went to the mountains, everything had gone wrong. Damn it, that woman really was his nemesis!

"Okay, you..." He stopped talking. No matter what, the other party couldn't possibly steal the USB drive on their own. Besides, the thing was already in Old Yuan's hands, and he would definitely start looking into it. The old man was an impatient person.

Thinking of this, he hung up the phone and paced back and forth at home, his mind in turmoil. He had spent many years in Gaoshan County and made indelible contributions to its economic development. Even if he made some minor mistakes, even if he accepted some money, even if he kept two women as mistresses, so what? That was his personal charm, that was because people were willing to follow him, the former top official of Gaoshan County.

Thinking of this, he felt a little better. Just as he was about to go out, his phone rang urgently again.

"Big brother, are you busy?" It was Ma Guoliang calling.

"Speak, what is it?"

"Regarding Mr. Yuan's matter, do you see any way to get him to leave temporarily?"

"Don't even think about it. I'm warning you, you'd better not make any moves. He's sent by the provincial government. If anything happens to him, neither of us will escape, understand?"

Ma Guoliang was startled and could only slowly nod. The call ended.

Ma Guoliang was very frustrated. Just as he was about to go out for a walk, his phone rang again...

The call was from Liu Yixiong. Upon hearing this, Ma Guoliang's heart sank again, and his tone was unfriendly: "What do you mean you can't find them? You, Liu Yixiong, should know better than I how big Gaoshan County is. Do you think they can fly or disappear into the ground?" Ma Guoliang immediately became furious.

"Secretary, you don't know, Lin Ying is very cunning. Now, Li Jianmin is completely in his hands. I'm worried that he might betray us." Liu Yixiong's voice was also very anxious.

"What do you mean by betraying us? What do I have to do with Li Jianmin? Huh? Liu Yixiong, explain yourself clearly. When did I get involved with Li Jianmin?" Ma Guoliang shouted on the phone, clearly very dissatisfied with Liu Yixiong's behavior these past few days.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yixiong was in a panic and quickly apologized repeatedly, but in his heart he had already cursed Ma Guoliang's ancestors eighteen times over.

"Old Liu, I hope you get this straight. From beginning to end, I have never known Li Jianmin. It is you who have been using my name to make a scene. I have said it countless times: for the development of Gaoshan County, I personally allow you to use my name. However, you have repeatedly put me in the spotlight, and even claimed that I, Ma Guoliang, was behind some outrageous actions. I ask you, when did I ever allow you to do anything illegal or criminal?"

Ma Guoliang's scathing rebuke left Liu Yixiong speechless, even feeling ashamed. However, he knew very well that this matter had far exceeded his capabilities; if Li Jianmin got into trouble, he himself would likely be in trouble immediately.

It's just unknown how long Li Jianmin can hold on, or how long he will last.

He hung up the phone and was lost in thought when suddenly his phone rang again: "Hello, brother-in-law."

"Hmm, how is it? Has Li Ruxue been delivered?" Liu Yixiong had already prepared a way to deal with Li Jianmin, so despite his worries, he still had a backup plan.

"Sister...Sister...Brother-in-law, something's happened! That brat has been rescued..." Liu Taotao stammered as he recounted the events.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yixiong's head buzzed, and he quickly asked, "When did this happen?"

"Last night, in the middle of the night, we were knocked unconscious, so..."

"Useless, a bunch of useless trash, damn it, a bunch of good-for-nothing trash, you're all just a bunch of useless trash! Where are they? Who rescued them?"

"The video surveillance was tampered with, we couldn't see anyone clearly." Liu Taotao was so frustrated. When Liu Yixiong heard this, he became even angrier. He really wanted to strangle Liu Taotao. If Li Ruxue fell into Li Jianmin's hands, then he would definitely know that he wanted to use Li Ruxue to blackmail him. Therefore, Li Jianmin would hate him even more. He might have already betrayed him.

The thought of this possibility made Liu Yixiong break out in a cold sweat. He yelled into the phone, "Go out and look! Go out and look! Find her for me! If you don't find her, I'll kill you!" Liu Yixiong roared and screamed into the phone. Liu Taotao was so frightened that she quickly hung up the phone and turned to order people to go out and look for Li Ruxue. But she had been gone all night; where could they find her?

Lin Ying's gaze flickered as she looked at Li Jianmin. She knew what Li Jianmin was up to, but she wouldn't give him another chance.

"Who were the other three people besides you that night?" Lin Ying stared intently at Li Jianmin, whose face stiffened slightly, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. He had already explained what had happened, and besides, Liu Yixiong clearly wasn't going to let him off the hook. If he didn't make Liu Yixiong suffer, he wouldn't come to negotiate with him.

"There is also the secretary of Wang Dalong, the chairman of Tianlong Group, known as the number one secretary in the mountains, named Li Yushu. The other two are Burmese, one named Ruan Qiu and the other named Ruan Biao."

"Describe their portraits, and where are they now?"

"Li Yushu should still be in the mountains. As for the two Burmese guys, they've probably already crossed the border." Li Jianmin knew that although Wang Dalong was involved in organized crime and had been trying to legitimize his activities over the years, he was actually a very meticulous person. Otherwise, how could Tianlong Group have survived so many investigations over the years, not only without incident but also growing bigger and bigger? Apart from Wang Dalong, very few people could do that.

Lin Ying frowned. The two Burmese men were likely the two murderers who insulted Gao Lan. As for Li Yushu, she had heard of him before and he couldn't escape.

Wait, didn't Lu Xiujuan's report say that three people were detected?

Who is the other person? Is Li Jianmin lying?

Lin Ying glanced at Li Jianmin, her heart filled with trepidation.

"Is there anything else you need to add?" Lin Ying knew that Li Jianmin still had things to say. For a veteran criminal police officer who had long provided protection for organized crime, his complexity was beyond that of an ordinary police officer. He might still look for an opportunity to escape, or even try to find Liu Yixiong and the people behind him.

Liu Yixiong picked up the phone with difficulty and dialed Wang Dalong's number. On the other end of the line, Wang Dalong's expression changed completely.
