In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

At the start of the meeting, Chen Luo first gave a one-hour overview of political and legal work.

The Dongshan municipal political and legal system, from the public security bureau to the judicial bureau, was named and shamed, followed by an hour-long work guidance session and a lecture on the spirit of the rule of law.

Soon it was Tian Guofu's turn to give a one-hour speech on the spirit of clean governance, and the time dragged on until 10 p.m.

The meeting finally ended at 10:30 p.m.

However, at that moment, staff from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection walked into the conference hall with a signal jammer.

More than a dozen signal jammers were activated simultaneously, completely cutting off the signal in the conference hall.

Now everyone realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

Chen Luo slowly stood up and said, "Comrades, please be patient. This meeting may continue for some time, and the exact end time is yet to be determined. As for the reason, I cannot disclose it to you at this time."

How many officials have clean hands?

Even though Chen Luo wasn't targeting them, they were all sweating profusely, fearing that the Discipline Inspection Commission would take them away.

Only a dozen minutes had passed when some people started to get restless.

"Secretary Chen, can I use the restroom? I can't hold it in anymore."

The one who spoke was Ma Yunbo, deputy director of the Dongshan City Public Security Bureau, who was very clear that a transaction would take place in Tazhai Village that evening.

According to the cooperation agreement with Tazhai Village, he is required to remind Tazhai Village of any abnormalities on the day of the transaction.

But now...

The message simply won't send!

Chen Luo smiled, his eyes narrowing.

"No problem, here's what we'll do: have the disciplinary committee members take you to the restroom."

Chen Luo gave Tian Guofu a look, and Tian Guofu understood immediately. He personally called over several staff members from the Discipline Inspection Commission to take Ma Yunbo away from the meeting. However, their destination was not the restroom, but the interrogation room!

Walking down the corridor, Ma Yunbo felt a chill run through him.

"Secretary Tian, ​​is this the way to the restroom?"

Tian Guofu made no attempt to hide it.

"Of course not, Ma Yunbo. Our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is aware of your situation. If you honestly confess later, you might be able to redeem yourself. As the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, I don't need to tell you the consequences of your stubborn resistance."

"I don't understand Secretary Tian! I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"Playing dumb?"

Tian Guofu shook his head, waved his hand, and signaled to the staff to gag him.

Time ticked by... Chen Luo remained calm and composed in the conference hall, while the cadres below were completely silent.

Everyone was sweating profusely. Mayor Chen Wenze, who was next to Chen Luo, waited for more than ten minutes but Ma Yunbo did not return from the toilet. His heart was in his throat!

At 11 p.m. sharp, buses drove from Jingzhou into Dongshan and headed straight for Tazhai Village.

Thousands of police officers, armed police, and military personnel rushed into Tazhai Village. Like sharp knives, they immediately began indiscriminately arresting all the villagers as soon as they got off the vehicles. Regardless of age or gender, they arrested everyone first, armed to the teeth, giving Tazhai Village no chance to react.

Lin Family Ancestral Hall.

Lin Yaodong was trembling all over. He had just ordered the villagers to prepare the "goods," but before they could even collect them, the police arrived. A huge number of police surrounded Tazhai Village, and the feeling of helplessness filled Lin Yaodong's heart.

Just then, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open.

Lin Yaodong instantly pointed the gun at the approaching person.

"It's you! Zonghui!"

The visitor was Lin Zonghui, the head of the third branch of the family.

Lin Zonghui was icy cold, his gaze fixed on the pistol in Lin Yaodong's hand.

"Even after all this, you still want to put up a stubborn resistance?"

"Did you betray Tazhai?!"

Lin Yaodong ignored him and instead questioned Lin Zonghui.

Lin Zonghui nodded, quite calmly.

"That's right, it was me who provided the drug production list, it was me who provided the evidence. Under your leadership, Tazhai has become increasingly dangerous over the years. It's time to eradicate drugs from Tazhai!"

"You! Do you know that doing this will land half the families in our village in jail!"

Lin Yaodong gritted his teeth and fired a shot into Lin Zonghui's thigh.

Shot and falling to the ground, Lin Zonghui endured the excruciating pain and said, "It's precisely because you knew about me that you reported me! Do you want the entire Tazhai village to become involved in drugs and end up childless? How can we face our ancestors after we die?"

"you!"

Just as Lin Yaodong raised his pistol to finish off Lin Zonghui, a shot rang out, piercing his arm and sending the pistol crashing to the ground.

Dozens of police officers pushed open the gate and rushed in, taking Lin Yaodong into custody almost instantly.

Meanwhile, at the Dongshan City Wharf.

Hundreds of armed police officers were already in ambush, and they rushed out the moment a cargo ship docked!

Gunfire erupted continuously.

The arrest operation continued until 4 a.m., when it finally ended. The meeting concluded when staff informed Chen Luo of the news.

"Mayor Chen, please go with the Discipline Inspection Commission."

He calmly approached Chen Wenze, who knew he couldn't escape. Chen Wenze stretched out his hands, which were quickly handcuffed by the staff.

The arrest operation went very smoothly.

The next morning, Chen Luo and Tian Guofu returned to Jingzhou, leaving the remaining cleanup work to the Dongshan Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Qi Tongwei, who remained in Dongshan.

After returning to Jingzhou and resting for a day, Chen Luo went back to Lüzhou to take charge of the work.

And in Dongshan.

After two days of interrogation, the massive drug trafficking ring centered on Tazhai Village was finally brought to light. On the day of the arrest, nearly three tons of methamphetamine, 600 million yuan in drug money, 77 factories, 14 handguns, 20 rifles, and a quantity of ammunition were seized.

In the interrogation room, Qi Tongwei personally interrogated Lin Yaodong.

"Lin Yaodong, now the evidence is clear and undeniable. I'm asking you now, were all the buyers overseas?"

Lin Yaodong smiled upon hearing this. He had personally contacted all the sellers, and only he knew who the goods were supplied to.

"Tsk tsk tsk, for a village head like me to be personally interrogated by the provincial public security chief is an extreme honor!"

Qi Tongwei frowned.

"Are you unwilling to tell me, or do you simply not know?"

"I neither know nor want to say!"

Qi Tongwei gave Lin Yaodong a deep look before calmly saying, "I won't ask about the buyer, but we now know that the guns in your village were supplied by the buyer. Even if you don't tell me, I have plenty of ways to make you talk!"

"Then let's give it a try!"

Qi Tongwei left without saying another word.

After leaving the municipal bureau, Qi Tongwei led more than a dozen provincial bureau staff back to the hotel to rest.

Night gradually fell.

The hotel where Qi Tongwei and the provincial department staff stayed was an inconspicuous hotel. The entire hotel was booked by the provincial department. Around 2 a.m., a fleet of vans stopped in front of the hotel, and then more than a dozen people got out of the vans, each of them masked and carrying guns!

They rushed into the hotel, and the hotel receptionist was so frightened by what she saw that she squatted on the ground and trembled uncontrollably.

Just then, a police car pulled up outside the hotel.

Five or six police officers came down; they were responsible for interrogating the others and had returned a little late.

As soon as I pushed open the hotel door, I was face-to-face with more than a dozen masked thugs.

Bang! A gunshot rang out!
