Official excuse: I was sent to work at the grassroots level for training, and Hou Liangping arrested

As the time for the final assault drew near, the atmosphere inside and outside the chemical plant grew increasingly tense, and a thrilling contest was about to begin.

. . . . .

"On my orders, all groups, take note. Turn on your radios and signal jammers."

Lin Yunfei's voice was clearly transmitted to every combatant via radio: "Prevent the drug traffickers from communicating with the outside world. Cui Tiejun, your Iron Triangle team, as the vanguard, must take control of the chemical plant's main control room as soon as possible, cut off all power and communications, and throw the drug traffickers into chaos."

"Received, Director Lin. The Iron Triangle understands." Cui Tiejun responded firmly, while giving a wink to his two teammates beside him. The three nodded in tacit agreement and sped up their stealth approach towards the main control room.

Meanwhile, the drug-sniffing dog team made a new discovery outside the chemical plant. A well-trained police dog suddenly stopped and began barking incessantly at a loose stone slab. The handler immediately went over, carefully moved the slab, and discovered a small passage hidden underneath, large enough for a person to crawl through.

"Director Lin, we've discovered a secret passage here, which could be another entrance/exit for drug traffickers," the instructor quickly reported over the walkie-talkie.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunfei's eyes flashed with a sharp glint. "Immediately seal off the passage and send a team down to investigate. Be careful, there may be drug dealers lying in ambush."

"Yes, sir!" The instructor accepted the order and quickly organized the personnel to carry out the mission.

At this moment, the footage transmitted back by the drone showed several suspicious lights flashing inside the chemical plant, suggesting that the drug traffickers were making their final preparations. Based on this information, Lin Yunfei quickly adjusted his tactical deployment to ensure that every corner was under police control.

"Attention all groups, the final assault will begin five minutes earlier than scheduled. We need to catch the drug dealers off guard," Lin Yunfei ordered decisively, his tone revealing unwavering resolve.

As the countdown drew near, police forces, like an invisible net, quietly tightened their grip both inside and outside the chemical plant.

Cui Tiejun's elite trio was close to the control room. They held their breath, ready to seize this crucial moment.

"Three, two, one, move out!" With Lin Yunfei's command, the entire chemical plant was instantly surrounded by police lights and shouts. Cui Tiejun kicked open the door to the main control room, and the "Iron Triangle" rushed in, taking control of the room with lightning speed.

Meanwhile, other teams conducted a comprehensive search of all areas of the chemical plant as planned. The narcotics detection dogs played a crucial role, their keen sense of smell helping police quickly pinpoint multiple locations where drugs were hidden.

Boom! !

Da da da! !

The drug dealers, upon spotting the police, panicked and opened fire. They even used submachine guns.

Cui Tiejun was hit by a bullet, and blood was flowing freely.

"Old Cui! You're injured, lie down quickly."

But Cui Tiejun gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and still gripped the gun tightly in his hand, his eyes revealing determination and indomitable spirit. He shouted loudly, "Don't worry about me, keep arresting people!" Seeing this, his teammates rushed forward even more bravely and engaged in a fierce gunfight with the drug dealers.

Despite their fierce resistance, the drug traffickers gradually crumbled under the overwhelming firepower of the police. Utilizing the terrain and tactical advantages, the police steadily tightened their encirclement, cornering the drug traffickers.

At this time, the bomb disposal team also successfully eliminated any potential explosive threats, relieving the police of any concerns about the operation.

After a fierce confrontation, the police successfully apprehended the drug trafficking gang, seizing a full ton of heroin, as well as a large quantity of drug-making tools and raw materials.

This sudden operation not only disrupted the drug traffickers' plans but also dealt a heavy blow to drug-related crimes in Jingzhou City.

Lin Yunfei stood in the command center, watching the victory messages constantly being transmitted back on the big screen, a gratified smile on his face.

"Immediately notify an ambulance to go to the urban-rural fringe area as quickly as possible to rescue the injured."

"We guarantee the safety of the wounded."

"Notify the Public Security Bureau that Director Li Weimin of the Narcotics Control Bureau is here with his colleagues."

(Li Mahao) Lin Yunfei methodically arranged the follow-up work, "Have the technical investigation department continue to investigate and see if they can follow the drug dealers arrested this time to find more criminals hiding in the shadows. At the same time, assign special personnel to be in charge of the interrogation work, and be sure to dig out all the key information such as the source of the drugs and the sales network."

Soon, the ambulance sped towards the urban-rural fringe area, and the medical staff raced against time, hoping to snatch the injured police officer's life from the jaws of death. Meanwhile, upon receiving the notification, Li Weimin, director of the Narcotics Control Bureau of the Provincial Public Security Department, immediately led a crack team from the bureau to the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau without delay.

As soon as Li Weimin arrived, he went straight to Lin Yunfei. After a brief handshake, Li Weimin asked eagerly, "Director Lin, your operation this time was quite successful. Can you tell me the details?"

Lin Yunfei led Li Weimin to a corner of the command center and recounted the entire operation in detail, from initially arresting the wrong person to unexpectedly discovering the drug trafficking group, and then successfully destroying the drug manufacturing den and seizing a ton of drugs.

Upon hearing this, Li Weimin's eyes gleamed with excitement. "This is a big case; it might even earn us a collective second-class merit. Our Narcotics Control Bureau will fully cooperate with your follow-up work, leaving no stone unturned, from tracing the source of the drugs to cracking down on the sales network."

At this moment, good news also came from the interrogation room. Through the relentless efforts of the interrogators, the drug traffickers' psychological defenses gradually crumbled, and they began to reveal more internal information about the drug cartel.

It turns out that this drug trafficking group operated in Changwu City, and its reach extended to several surrounding cities, forming a vast drug crime network.

160. The local tyrant Zhao Xiaosheng was actually a relative of Zhao Lichun.

160. The local tyrant Zhao Xiaosheng was actually a relative of Zhao Lichun.

The drug cartel leader, Viper, confessed. Based on his testimony...

"Officer, I... I got all of this drugs from Zhao Xiaosheng's family in Changwu City."

"I've heard that the Zhao family of Changwu has an unclear relationship with the former provincial party secretary, Zhao Lichun."

Li Weimin, the director of the Narcotics Control Bureau of the Provincial Public Security Department, wore black-rimmed glasses and bore a striking resemblance to Secretary Dakang.

Lin Yunfei, dressed in a police uniform, stood next to the interrogation room, separated by a one-way glass partition. He held an earpiece to his ear in his right hand.

Li Weimin's expression was serious: "Director Lin, it seems that your plan to use one thing to achieve another has uncovered a huge drug trafficking ring in Changwu City, Handong Province."

Lin Yunfei slowly spoke: "Yes, the waters in Handong Province run very deep."

"This Zhao Xiaosheng has been able to commit crimes in Changwu City for over twenty years without receiving any reports of wrongdoing."

"There is only one possibility: the public security, procuratorate and judiciary in Changwu City... are plagued by systemic corruption, with large-scale... protective umbrellas."

Upon hearing this, Li Weimin gasped. He didn't dare breathe, quickly putting on his earpiece: "Director Lin, you can't say that carelessly!"

"We live in a society governed by the rule of law. We need to present the evidence."

Lin Yunfei snorted coldly, his expression dismissive: "Evidence? Just send National Security investigators to secretly infiltrate Changwu City."

“Even the deputy mayor, Ding Yizhen, was able to embezzle 815 million yuan.”

“His secretary, Zhou Yunyi, embezzled 20.14 million yuan.”

"It's absolutely impossible that Zhao Xiaosheng would dare to traffic drugs without a protector behind him."

"Liu Can, immediately notify the National Security Bureau. Secretly dispatch three teams to infiltrate Changwu City and conduct a covert investigation of the Zhao family."

Upon receiving the order, Liu Can immediately straightened his posture and replied loudly, "Yes, Director Lin! I'll make the arrangements right away." After saying that, he quickly turned around and hurriedly walked out of the interrogation room to convey Lin Yunfei's instructions.

Lin Yunfei stood in front of the one-way glass, his eyes deep and solemn. He stared intently at Viper, who was being questioned in the interrogation room, as if trying to uncover more secrets about the Zhao family from the other man's expression and words.

After a while, Lin Yunfei slowly turned around and said to Li Weimin, "Director Li, this investigation of the Zhao family will probably encounter great resistance. The forces behind them must be very complex to have been able to entrenched themselves in Changwu City for so many years."

Li Weimin adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, his brows furrowed, and said, "Director Lin, you're right. However, now that we've discovered this clue, we can't give up easily. No matter how powerful the Zhao family of Changwu is behind them, we must wipe them out in one fell swoop. I agree that we can follow this snake's trail."

Lin Yunfei nodded and said firmly, "That's right. Everyone is equal before the law, and no illegal or criminal act can escape punishment. We must solidify the evidence against the Zhao family's drug trafficking group and ensure that those who provide them with protection receive the punishment they deserve."

At this moment, Liu Can had already arranged for the three groups from the National Security Bureau. He quickly walked back to the room next to the interrogation room and reported to Lin Yunfei and Li Weimin: "Director Lin, Director Li, the three groups have secretly infiltrated Changwu City and will carry out the investigation according to plan."

Lin Yunfei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good. Tell them to be extremely careful and pay attention to their own safety. At the same time, they should keep in touch with us in a timely manner and report the progress of the investigation."

"By the way, Liu Can. You should investigate through the Imperial City Guard's channels, using the Imperial City Guard's internal network."

Lin Yunfei's expression was very serious: "Do Zhao Xiaosheng and Zhao Lichun in Changwu City have any... relationship? To put it simply, they are relatives."

Liu Can immediately replied, "Secretary Lin, I'll investigate right away. I'll use the Imperial City Guard's internal network to find out the connection as soon as possible." After saying that, he quickly opened his laptop and began to retrieve relevant information by typing rapidly on the keyboard.

After a while, Liu Can raised his head, his expression solemn: "Director Lin, (bjah) the Imperial City Division's internal network currently shows that Zhao Xiaosheng and Zhao Lichun are indeed related, but the specific relationship... still needs further in-depth investigation."

"Zhao Xiaosheng's mother and Zhao Lichun's father are cousins."

Lin Yunfei clenched his fist, a slight smile playing on his lips, his expression sharp: "Just as I thought. This explains why Zhao Xiaosheng was able to commit so many crimes in Changwu City for so many years. Continue the investigation and thoroughly uncover their network of connections."

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

That evening, Lin Yunfei and Zhao Lan, again in a Land Rover, arrived at Building No. 2 of the Provincial Party Committee compound to report to Zhao Anbang.

"Uncle Zhao, our operation today, though seemingly a mistake, turned out to be a stroke of luck. Although we didn't catch Wang Ping'an, we managed to dismantle a drug trafficking ring by following the clues."

"One ton of drugs was seized."

Zhao Anbang sat behind his large desk, a hint of surprise flashing across his previously calm face. He then stood up, walked around the desk to Lin Yunfei and Zhao Lan, and patted Lin Yunfei on the shoulder: "Well done, Yunfei, you did a great job on this operation! A ton of drugs, that's a big case."

Lin Yunfei's expression remained solemn: "Uncle Zhao, this drug trafficking group is not simple. It involves Zhao Xiaosheng from Changwu City, and he is related to the former provincial party secretary Zhao Lichun. We suspect that there are serious corruption problems in the public security, procuratorate and judicial system of Changwu City, which provided a protective umbrella for Zhao Xiaosheng."

Zhao Anbang's brows furrowed instantly, his eyes sharpening: "Is that so? If true, then the problem is serious. How much evidence do you have now?"

Lin Yunfei said, "Currently, we have obtained some clues through the interrogation of Viper. The National Security Bureau has also dispatched three teams to secretly infiltrate Changwu City to conduct an investigation. The Imperial City Division is also further investigating the relationship between Zhao Xiaosheng and Zhao Lichun, but specific evidence still needs time to be collected."

Zhao Anbang pondered for a moment and said, "Yunfei, you must handle this matter with caution. You must thoroughly investigate this drug trafficking group and its protectors, but you must also pay attention to the methods used to avoid causing unnecessary panic and social unrest."

"If there is indeed systemic corruption within the public security, procuratorate, and judicial system in Changwu City, it could have a wide-ranging impact, and we must be fully prepared."

Lin Yunfei nodded firmly: "Uncle Zhao, don't worry, we will be careful. This time we will absolutely not let any criminal escape the punishment of the law."

Zhao Anbang returned to his desk and sat down, saying, "Okay, report to me promptly any progress. The Provincial Party Committee will fully support your work; we must eradicate this cancer completely."

Lin Yunfei and Zhao Lan exchanged a glance and said, "Yes, Uncle Zhao. We will definitely complete the mission." After saying that, the two bid farewell and left Building No. 2 of the Provincial Party Committee compound.

161. Zhao Xiaohui's sincerity was demonstrated by her donation of 20 billion yuan to Jingzhou.

161. Zhao Xiaohui's sincerity was demonstrated by her donation of 20 billion yuan to Jingzhou.

Lin Yunfei and his wife had just stepped out of the provincial party committee compound and gotten into their Land Rover Range Rover SUV.

Ring ring! Ring ring!

A call came in from an unknown number in eastern Guangdong.

Zhao Lan looked at Lin Yunfei with a hesitant gaze and asked tentatively, "Who is it? It's not Zhong Xiao-Ai again, is it?"

"How could that be? It's not Zhong Xiaoai. I broke up with her a long time ago."

Lin Yunfei handed his phone to Zhao Lan without any hesitation.

Zhao Lan took the phone, looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, still feeling a little uneasy. She gently pressed the answer button, held the phone to her ear, but didn't speak immediately. A slightly unfamiliar male voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, is this Lin Yunfei, the mayor of Jingzhou City? I am the head of the Guangdong East Chamber of Commerce. Ms. Zhao Xiaohui has entrusted us to donate 10 billion yuan to the Jingzhou City government."

"This is truly a tremendous act of kindness. We would like to discuss the specifics of the donation with you both, as well as the plans for subsequent charitable projects..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she immediately turned to Lin Yunfei: "Yunfei, Zhao Xiaohui is going to donate 10 billion to the Jingzhou Municipal Government?"

Lin Yunfei also showed a surprised expression, but quickly regained his composure. He nodded to Zhao Lan, signaling her to continue listening.

Zhao Lan took a deep breath and said into the phone, "Hello, this is Zhao Lan, Lin Yunfei's wife. We really didn't know anything about the donation. May I ask how this 10 billion yuan was donated? Was it deposited into the municipal government's fiscal account?"

The person in charge on the other end of the phone quickly replied, "Yes, that's right. We can also send someone to Jingzhou to meet with you two. When would you two be available?"

Lin Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we'll be in Jingzhou for the time being, so you can send someone to Jingzhou. We can discuss the specific time and place later."

The person in charge readily agreed, and after a few more brief exchanges, the two hung up the phone.

Zhao Lan handed the phone back to Lin Yunfei and said something astonishing: "This Zhao Xiaohui is so generous, donating 10 billion yuan to you."

"I don't know, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's go home first."
