Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

Since they couldn't get in touch with Zhao Donglai, the director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, they decided to try contacting the executive deputy director of the Handong Provincial Public Security Department.

This arrangement makes perfect sense.

Dong Jianming scrolled through his phone's contacts. "I don't have his number."

This is awkward.

If you go out and check, you'll definitely be able to find it.

However, you can't leave.

Dong Jianming was worried that if Chen Shan ran away, he would be blamed.

Feng Liqun shook his head. "Secretary-General Dong, you're not doing your job well. Don't you even have the phone number of the Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province?"

That really hits home.

It's not on the phone, but it's definitely in the office.

"I don't have it on my phone," Dong Jianming said, head down. "Provincial Governor Feng, do you have it?"

There's not much contact between them, so they definitely wouldn't have Xia Changfeng's phone number saved.

I figured Feng Liqun definitely wouldn't have it.

As a result, Feng Liqun publicly showed his mobile phone and directly recited a string of numbers.

Dong Jianming wiped his sweat and quickly dialed the number, putting it on speakerphone.

The phone is on.

It was answered after only two rings.

"Hello, who is this?" Xia Changfeng's loud voice came from the other end of the phone.

I go!

Xia Changfeng also did not save Dong Jianming's phone number.

That was so embarrassing.

Dong Jianming coughed and cleared his throat.

Xia Changfeng was getting impatient. "Who are you? Calling me in the middle of the night without saying anything. Are you trying to cause trouble?"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Gao Yuliang laughed. "Secretary-General Dong, are you kidding me? Why didn't you say anything when you called Xia Changfeng?"

Li Dakang chimed in, disgusting Tung Kin-ming, "Secretary-General Tung, are you trying to project an air of sophistication? Well, what happened? You failed at showing off."

Sha Ruijin was a bit overwhelmed. He tapped the table and said, "Stop messing around, Secretary-General Dong. Contact Xia Changfeng immediately."

"Okay, Secretary Sha." Dong Jianming quickly dialed again.

The phone rang again, but Xia Changfeng was still in his office reviewing case files.

I was furious. I answered the phone and said, "Speak up, give me your ID number, and I'll send someone to check you right away."

The case was at a standstill. Just when I thought I had a clue or an idea, I was interrupted. I was extremely annoyed.

"Director Xia, I am Dong Jianming, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee." Dong Jianming introduced himself directly.

Xia Changfeng scratched his head. "Secretary-General Dong, hello. Excuse me, we're currently reviewing an old case from many years ago. Do you have any instructions?"

Hey!

I felt so embarrassed.

The caller was none other than that guy, Tung Kin-ming.

After years of no contact, could it be that someone needs something from me? Is it to get someone out of trouble, or to arrange for someone to be put in the Public Security Bureau?

Both are quite troublesome.

Dong Jianming said in a serious tone, "Director Xia, I personally dare not give you any instructions."

Now, we will convey the instructions from the Provincial Party Committee.

You must immediately organize a team and take full responsibility for arresting Chen Shan, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province.

Not a word can leak out. Please act as soon as possible.

next second.

Xia Changfeng was stunned!

You must be joking.

The head of the Public Security Bureau was arrested.

That's my boss.

"Secretary-General Dong, is this for real, or a joke? Are there any legal procedures?"

Afraid of suffering in silence.

Sha Ruijin couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed Dong Jianming's phone. "Director Xia, this is Sha Ruijin. The Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee just passed a resolution. You need to hurry. If Chen Shan escapes, you will be held responsible."

Dong Jianming didn't hesitate for even half a second.

"Understood, Secretary Sha. I will try to complete the deployment within 30 minutes. We will begin the operation in 30 minutes," Xia Changfeng replied crisply.

You need to control your own leaders.

That's a bit outrageous; even TV dramas wouldn't dare to portray it like that.

Even his breathing stopped for a few seconds.

Sha Ruijin's words, "If Chen Shan runs away, you will be held responsible," were still echoing in my mind.

Chen Shan, director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province, was arrested.

Arrest Xia Changfeng's superior.

There was no official document from the provincial party committee.

No disciplinary commissioner accompanied them.

There wasn't even a single arrest warrant in black and white.

There was only one verbal phone call from Sha Ruijin during the Standing Committee meeting.

This is putting Xia Changfeng on the hot seat.

It was a disaster.

Chen Shan retaliated, and Xia Changfeng was a prisoner who had arbitrarily mobilized police forces and plotted to seize power.

It's done.

With Chen Shan stepping down, Xia Changfeng might very well become the top official in the Handong Public Security Bureau.

done.

Xia Changfeng picked up the landline on the table and made an internal call.

pass.

"Director Gao, come to my office. And please take your service pistol with you."

On the other end of the phone was Gao Mingyuan, director of the Political Department of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province.

"Xia Ting, something's happened?" Gao Mingyuan sensed something was wrong.

Sending the director of the political department to the office of the executive deputy director in the middle of the night with a gun is something sinister.

"Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up, it's just you." Xia Changfeng hung up the phone.

Two minutes later.

The office door was pushed open.

Gao Mingyuan slipped inside.

He turned around and closed the door.

"Director Xia, who exactly are you arresting? Are you going to use weapons?" Gao Mingyuan asked in a low voice.

Xia Changfeng took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from the drawer, pulled one out, and handed it over.

I lit one for myself too.

Take a deep breath and exhale a thick cloud of smoke.

"Arrest Chen Shan."

clack.

The lighter in Gao Mingyuan's hand fell onto the table.

He stared at Xia Changfeng, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.

It's a bit unbelievable that the director of the Political Department of the Public Security Bureau, who is at the deputy provincial level, would arrest his own superior.

"Secretary Sha personally gave the order. The Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee passed it unanimously." Xia Changfeng flicked his cigarette ash. "Chen Shan is finished. Director Gao, this is our chance, understand?"

The fewer people who know about it, the lower the risk of leaks.

In any case, Gao Mingyuan can be absolutely trusted.

Gao Mingyuan swallowed hard.

Over the years, he has been completely suppressed by Chen Shan. All the major and minor matters in the department are decided by Chen Shan, the tyrant. He, as the director of the political department, is just a figurehead.

If Chen Shan falls...

Gao Mingyuan picked up the lighter and lit the cigarette.

He took two deep drags, choking and coughing repeatedly.

"Director Xia, tell me what to do. I, Gao Mingyuan, am entrusting my life to you."

Xia Changfeng stood up.

"That old fox Chen Shan has been operating in the Handong Public Security Bureau for so many years, and he has eyes and ears everywhere. If we want to catch him, we must not make a big fuss, but our manpower must be lean and absolutely reliable."

We've notified the heads of the Criminal Investigation Division, the Public Security Division, the Exit-Entry Administration Division, and the Traffic Police Division to participate in the operation. The key is speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

Gao Mingyuan frowned. "Director Xia, of these four, Zhao Dayong, the head of the Criminal Investigation Division, is Chen Shan's staunch supporter. Bringing him here might cause him to leak information..."

"That's exactly what we need to do," Xia Changfeng sneered. "Keeping him under our noses is better than him leading a group against us outside. We'll use the pretext of a major province-wide crackdown on crime to get them involved, with the whole process under surveillance. Chen Shan is finished. Zhao Dayong won't be stupid enough to tip him off. Unless he wants to die."

"Understood." Gao Mingyuan nodded.

Gao Mingyuan notified me by phone.

Xia Changfeng has already begun directing the deployment of personnel; time is of the essence, and every second counts.

In any place I could think of where Chen Shan was hiding, I deployed skilled personnel armed with guns to it.

Sun Jianping, the head of the Public Security Corps, Zhao Dayong, the head of the Criminal Investigation Corps, Liu Chang, the head of the Exit-Entry Administration Corps, and Wu Tiejun, the head of the Traffic Police Corps, received the phone call.

No matter what they were doing, they were all rushing into the hall.

Ten minutes later.

Top Secret Meeting Room No. 3 (Underground).

This is the highest-level confidential conference room of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province.
