Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Although Lu Xiujuan was only a forensic doctor, she was still a graduate of the public security system. She knew that blindly listening to the other party was useless at this time. Only by grasping the other party's weak point could she ensure her mother's safety.

"You surnamed Lu, are you threatening me?" The voice on the phone became somewhat menacing.

"I'm threatening you. You're police officers too. You arrested my mother and helped the people behind her destroy evidence. Don't think I don't know who you are. If you don't get my mother to a safe place, I will definitely hand over the evidence. You'd better watch out." With that, Lu Xiujuan deliberately hung up the phone with a snap. She was trembling all over, and tears were streaming down her face. These bastards actually dared to lay a hand on her mother.

Bastards, a bunch of bastards!

In an instant, the person on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded. He never expected that Lu Xiujuan, a quiet and unassuming female forensic doctor, would dare to threaten him and even hang up on him. It was simply outrageous!

"Captain, what do we do now? The old lady's health isn't good, and we can't stay in the hospital for too long. If we stay too long, people might become suspicious."

"What's the panic? We're here to investigate a case. What are you afraid of? I'll take responsibility for anything that happens. Go and call the old lady over. I want to see if that girl Lu Xiujuan really has the guts."

"Boss, let's call Director Liu. After all, what she has is what Director Liu wants," Tong Tianhua, the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, couldn't help but remind him.

Lu Dayong turned to look at him, snorted coldly, thought for a moment, and then picked up the phone to dial. On the other end of the line, Liu Yixiong, upon hearing the news, became furious and roared, "Lu Dayong, are you fucking shit? Huh? You're completely fooled by a little girl. You fucking can't even tell her mother..." Before Liu Yixiong could finish speaking, Lu Dayong immediately understood. To him, this matter was far too simple.

"But that girl said that if we don't do as she says, she'll send the stuff to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection's email address. I'm worried..." Lu Dayong wasn't stupid. Right now, the attitude of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was crucial. He didn't know, but he believed that Liu Yixiong definitely knew the attitude from above.

Liu Yixiong was startled and taken aback. He hadn't expected Lu Xiujuan to be so bold. It seemed this girl really couldn't be allowed to live. Such a person was too dangerous.

"Find a way to get her mother out of the hospital immediately. Agree to her conditions first, take her to the location she specifies, and at the same time, have her bring her belongings. Hand over the person and the belongings in one hand, and once you arrive, destroy both the person and the belongings... understand?"

Lu Dayong shuddered, his heart skipped a beat, and he could only nod: "I...I understand."

"If you understand, then do as I say, Dayong. I hope you can understand. I have no choice. What can we do about those people who always want to ruin us? We can only fight back. You understand all of this, right?"

"I understand, Director Liu. Don't worry, I will handle this matter well."

"Yes, I trust you to handle things. I'll help you get credit with the Party Secretary later."

"Thank you, Director Liu."

After hanging up the phone, Lü Dayong had already made up his mind. He picked up the phone again and dialed: "Lu Xiujuan, we can agree to your conditions. You name a place, we'll send your mother there, and you give us the things. Is that alright?"

"Okay, take my mom to..." Lu Xiujuan casually gave an address. She knew that as long as she had that report, the other party wouldn't dare to act recklessly, so they would definitely agree to her conditions.

The two parties agreed on a time and place, but Lu Xiujuan didn't feel relieved at all. Instead, she was even more worried. She knew who she was talking to on the phone—it was Lu Dayong, the captain of the criminal investigation team, a veteran detective. Would he try to cheat her? Would he really keep his promise and make the deal? She had no idea. After all, she was all alone. What should she do?

She thought it over and over, realizing she had been too careless and had oversimplified the situation. If County Chief Gao's death was truly related to them, and they dared to kill even the county chief, what chance did they have against a mere forensic doctor like herself?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiujuan became frightened; the other party was likely already preparing to attack her.

It must be said that although Lu Xiujuan was only a forensic doctor, her guesses about the other party's thoughts were quite accurate.

What should I do?

She was somewhat at a loss. At the time, she secretly printed out the autopsy report, intending to keep a copy for future investigations. Little did she expect that this would stir up a hornet's nest.

I can't manage on my own. What if Lü Dayong wants to kill me to cover it up? Damn it, will they let me go?

Obviously not.

The thought of this possibility terrified Lu Xiujuan. Yes, murder to silence a witness—if they could kill a county head, what else wouldn't they do? A chill ran through Lu Xiujuan from head to toe. She was doomed; she had committed a grave mistake. Only now did she realize that she might be facing a life-or-death crisis.

Her heart started pounding.

Lu Xiujuan completely panicked.

No, she had to find help, otherwise she would be finished, and she would also implicate her mother. Thinking this, she quickly picked up her phone and dialed a number: "Hello, is this Chen Zhengyang?"

"It's me, Xiujuan, is that you? What happened to you? I heard from the officers at the station that they're arresting you."

"Zhengyang, do you believe me?" Lu Xiujuan knew that now, only Chen Zhengyang could help her.

"Of course, Xiujuan, I know you won't do anything illegal or criminal." They had entered the Gaoshan County Public Security Bureau together, but Chen Zhengyang had been ostracized and hadn't accomplished much over the years. However, that didn't mean he would collude with others. In any case, he would never become a protector of criminals.

"Zhengyang, listen to me, I'm in trouble. You have to help me. Go somewhere where no one is around to answer the phone, and make sure no one else hears you. Remember, don't let anyone else hear you."

Chen Zhengyang was startled and quickly looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he hurriedly left the office and went to the restroom: "Go ahead and say it, I'm listening."

"I have evidence that proves County Magistrate Gao Lan did not commit suicide, but... but was murdered."

"What?" Chen Zhengyang's head buzzed, his eyes wide with shock, and his breathing became rapid. He hadn't expected that Lu Xiujuan knew that County Magistrate Gao's death wasn't suicide. This was a huge deal.

"Listen to me, they've arrested my mother and are threatening me, demanding I hand over my things or they'll harm her."

"Huh? Who are they, to be so bold?"

"The person I spoke to on the phone initially used a voice changer, but I could tell it was Lu Dayong, the captain of the criminal investigation team."

"What?" Chen Zhengyang's mind went blank. He felt like the sky was about to fall. How could this be?

Police? Are they police?
