Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Can't I drive myself?"

"Du Xiaoxiao, execute the order immediately."

Qi Jingtian said sternly.

Du Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Zhan, then at her cousin Qi Jingtian, and seemed to understand something. She said, "Yes."

Then he waved towards the convoy and said, "Two people, come here."

Two special police officers immediately rushed over and helped Ma Youshan and Wu Xiuying, while Xiao Zhan and Ma Feng also helped the two elderly people into the car.

Both elderly people are reasonable.

Ma Youshan held Xiao Zhan's hand and said, "Captain Xiao, we old folks are fine. We'll leave Xiao Feng to you. You two can focus on your work and don't worry about us. Although I don't know if You Changqing has broken the law, I know that many of the things he has done are immoral and he will get his comeuppance sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan was startled and quickly asked, "Dad, do you know what heinous things You Changqing has done?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Jingtian took a few steps forward.

Ma Youshan continued, "You Changqing claimed to be developing tourism and building a hot spring resort that integrates tourism, leisure, and entertainment. In fact, he secretly built many factories in the mountains, with hundreds of people working inside. The area is surrounded by walls several meters high, preventing nearby villagers from getting close. If any strangers approach, the security guards will unleash large wolfhounds to bite them."

Qi Jingtian immediately became interested and asked, "Uncle, why aren't the villagers allowed to come near? Is there something shady going on in the factory?"

Ma Youshan shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. How could I dare to go near it? A year ago, two men from a neighboring village went hunting in the mountains together. One of them accidentally wandered into the vicinity of a factory and was arrested by the security guards. They haven't seen him since, neither alive nor dead. His family went to the town and the county to complain, but it was no use. They said they hadn't seen him at all and couldn't explain it. His family had nowhere to seek justice. A perfectly healthy person just disappeared like that."

Xiao Zhan: "How was it finally resolved?"

Ma Youshan: "In the end, what else could be done? You Chang'an said that out of humanitarian considerations, he gave the family 50,000 yuan to settle the matter."

The more Xiao Zhan listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

He couldn't help but exchange a glance with Qi Jingtian, and the two saw the same question in each other's eyes.

Xiao Zhan asked again, "Dad, doesn't anyone in your village work in there?"

Ma Youshan: "The people who went there to work were all relatives of You Changqing's family, the kind who had passed the Five Blessings. Outsiders were not accepted at all. When those people came back during the holidays, they never mentioned what kind of work they did there, but they all made a fortune, and every family bought a house and a car in the county town."

Qi Jingtian: "Uncle, do you have the factory address?"

Ma Youshan: "It's in the mountain valley that you enter through the 'One Line Sky' (一线天). The key thing is that the 'One Line Sky' is now guarded to prevent villagers from getting close, saying that they are afraid the villagers will steal the factory's advanced technology."

At this point, Ma Feng said, "I know that place. When I was a kid, I often went there with a group of friends to herd cattle. There was also a natural barrier lake in the valley. We kids would catch fish and shrimp in the lake, which was my favorite thing to do when I was a child."

Ma Youshan chimed in, "The water in that landslide-dammed lake is now stinking, and all the fish and shrimp in it have died."

Qi Jingtian's expression changed upon hearing this; she realized that there must be a "big deal" behind this clue.

Xiao Zhan said to Du Xiaoxiao, "Secretary Du, thank you for taking the old man back to the city."

Du Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Young Master Xiao, you're too kind. I'm handing Director Qi over to you now, hehehe."

"boom!"

After saying that, Du Xiaoxiao stepped on the gas and drove away.

Xiao Zhan's expression changed slightly. He wasn't stupid. He felt a little awkward listening to Du Xiaoxiao's words. What did she mean by "hand it over to me"?

Qi Jingtian said awkwardly, "Young Master Xiao, Du Xiaoxiao is my cousin. I spoil her. She's just a straightforward girl who doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut. Please don't take it to heart."

Xiao Zhan, having regained his composure, smiled and said, "Secretary Du was right. You can't drive, so of course you'll ride in my car."

Shen Jun said, "President Zhan, your car is upside down, both tires are ruined, how are you going to drive it?"

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Then let's squeeze into Staff Officer Yuan's car."

Qi Jingtian: "I can spare a police car for you to use."

Xiao Zhan: "Thank you, but no need. You can use it yourself. There are still tough battles to fight."

Qi Jingtian is the career-oriented woman. Hearing Xiao Zhan talk about fighting a tough battle, she chimed in, "Based on what Uncle just said, I suspect there's a big problem with You Changqing's factory in the mountains."

Xiao Zhan: "Director Qi, what's your decision now?"

Qi Jingtian: "I'd like to hear your advice. After all, you are the supreme commander in this incident, and your mission should take priority."

Xiao Zhan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Director Qi, let's split up. You take some men to the Yixiantian factory. I suspect that You Changqing is illegally manufacturing drugs in the mountains. Since we know the clues, let's go all out and take them down. If the evidence is conclusive, this will also be one of the pieces of evidence against You Changqing."

Qi Jingtian readily agreed, "Okay."

Xiao Zhan: "Director Qi, we can't use any of the local police. If we don't have enough manpower, you can urgently transfer people from other places to provide support, or I can ask the military to provide support. It's best not to use the people in your city bureau either. You Dajun has been a policeman for twenty years, from the captain of the criminal investigation team to the deputy director. He must have a lot of followers around him."

Qi Jingtian: "I understand. Before entering the mountain, I confiscated all of everyone's communication devices to ensure that nothing went wrong."

Xiao Zhan nodded and continued, "I'll have Ma Feng assist you in your operation; he's a local and familiar with the area."

Qi Jingtian: "Thank you very much."

Xiao Zhan: "You're welcome."

"Ma Feng, come here for a moment."

Ma Feng ran over and asked, "What are the instructions, General Zhan?"

Xiao Zhan: "You will work with Director Qi. You are familiar with this place. In addition, I will give you a task: protect Director Qi's safety. Be careful of You Dajun's people in the Municipal Bureau. If necessary, you must act decisively. I will take responsibility for anything."

Ma Feng: "Yes, I guarantee I will complete the mission."

Qi Jingtian was deeply moved.

Xiao Zhan is very thoughtful.

Her gaze towards Xiao Zhan deepened with affection…

Xiao Zhan: "Director Qi, I'm going to the county town to meet with You Changqing. I need an explanation for what happened today."

Qi Jingtian laughed and said, "Even the three You brothers combined are no match for you, Xiao Zhan. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Xiao Zhan: "I'm also waiting for your good news."

"Set off."

"boom."

In the darkness, all the cars on site started up and drove off in two directions.

in the car,

Xiao Zhan said to Yuan Hongjun, "So, the county party secretary's phone call to You Changqing already alerted him?"

Yuan Hongjun: "It should be."

Shen Jun chimed in, "I don't think so. People like You Changqing are very arrogant. He can handle all the connections from the county to the town to the village. You could say it's his backyard. He's long considered himself a local emperor. Once people are self-righteous, they easily take what they imagine as reality. Even if they discover a problem, they think they can handle it."

Xiao Zhan: "What you said makes some sense, but we can't underestimate You Changqing. A village chief who can send three sons to the capital to become officials and lead the villagers to prosperity must have some ability, even if he breaks the law."

"Don't forget, everyone. He is now a piece on Liu Shiyuan's chessboard. The energy and power of this half of the piece should not be underestimated, so we cannot let our guard down."

Yuan Hongjun: "Captain Xiao is right."

"If we don't move, we don't move; if we do, we do it swiftly and decisively, giving You Changqing no chance to retaliate."
