"The fight against organized crime is a never-ending journey, and those criminal gangs that colluded with Li Jianguo are still at large."

This post listed all the henchmen and thugs employed by the Kahn Group, which Li Mu characterized as criminal elements collaborating with Li Jianguo. Their crimes, after some artistic embellishment, were also fully enumerated.

Li Jianguo recently became infamous nationwide as a typical example of corrupt police officers, and was dismissed and investigated, but the controversy surrounding him hasn't subsided yet.

After Li Mu posted his post, given his previous reputation and the fact that his ID already had a certain level of fame, many websites began to repost the content of his post.

He wasn't idle either; he immediately used over a dozen large servers he controlled overseas to start manipulating data. On every website reporting this news, the number of clicks and visits to the story remained consistently high.

Seeing the buzz, more and more websites followed up with reports. Instantly, Pingkang County became famous nationwide again. The provincial and municipal governments received countless complaint calls: why were these criminal gang members, who had been arrested, released?

Is there some kind of deal going on behind the scenes?

Soon, the provincial and municipal authorities called again to question them. The leaders of Pingkang County were so frightened that they dared not breathe. At this point, who would dare to defy the wind and commit crimes? They were uncomfortable with the accusations.

Not only should they not do that, but they should also immediately state their position and attitude, supporting the police in eradicating evil completely and thoroughly eliminating Li Jianguo and his gang.

So, just a few days after their release, these people were arrested again. And, under Zhu Wei's direction, this time it was even more thorough; everyone involved was brought back for investigation.

Chapter 233 Appointment

As online public opinion intensified, Pingkang County faced unprecedented pressure, allowing Zhu Weineng to act with impunity. The thugs employed by the Kahn Group either fled to other places or were arrested.

Without these people's obstruction, the commercial investigation agencies and private detectives hired by Li Mu could finally act with confidence and boldness.

However, private investigators are not the police, and their investigations are always a bit lacking.

To undermine the Kahn Group's foundation and bring it down in one fell swoop, these measures are too simplistic. They won't generate enough attention or public pressure to get higher-level departments involved.

Li Mu had no choice but to find another way.

After much deliberation, the police were the ones who possessed the most evidence of the Kahn Group's crimes.

The Kahn Group had been entrenched in the county for so many years, employing so many thugs and committing countless crimes. They inevitably had dealings with the police, and the police also had these records.

However, due to pressure from higher-ups and Li Jianguo's open cooperation, the matter was suppressed and did not erupt.

Li Jianguo was arrested, but those behind him were not implicated. The local police chief knew that things were complicated, and with pressure from others, he dared not investigate further.

Even Zhu Wei, who hates evil and can't tolerate injustice, understands the stakes involved. He's just a team leader, not the bureau chief. If he really drags all the bureau leaders into this, they might make him team leader, but they can also remove him from his position.

As someone within the system, I have to abide by certain rules, which greatly limits my actions.

Zhu Wei seems very powerful right now, having arrested quite a few thugs employed by the Kahn Group, but he has only taken advantage of the public opinion and has not crossed any lines.

The leaders above and in the bureau naturally couldn't find fault with him, so they couldn't blame him or hold him accountable.

However, if Zhu Wei takes the initiative to investigate some very sensitive issues, or even issues that could cause a major local earthquake, in addition to the problems exposed online.

That would truly become a thorn in the side of some people, and they would try every means to attack them.

Zhu Wei had experienced this kind of loss before.

Having served as the captain of the criminal investigation team in Pingkang County for so many years, he must have known about the Kahn Group's activities. Given his personality, it's impossible that he hadn't investigated it.

As a result, the other party remained unmoved and unharmed, while he was tricked into being demoted, and Li Jianguo became the captain of the criminal police.

Having gone through so much, Zhu Wei understood that the situation was far too complex for him to investigate thoroughly. His willingness to endure working under Li Jianguo for so many years was a helpless compromise in the face of reality.

Although the police have arrested many of the Kahn Group's henchmen and obtained a lot of shocking dirt on the Kahn Group.

With superiors watching and subordinates needing cooperation, no one wanted to cause trouble or create problems for themselves. They all wanted to avoid conflict and pretend they hadn't seen anything.

The immense limitations within the system mean that even if he wanted to disregard everything and lift the lid, countless people would hold him back.

Based on this analysis, Zhu Wei, as someone within the system, possesses a great deal of dirt on Kahn, but facing immense pressure, it's difficult for him to uncover this secret. Li Mu is able to uncover this secret, but the private investigators have made limited progress and don't have much dirt on the Kahn Group.

If the two cooperate, with Li Mu responsible for uncovering the truth and Zhu Wei providing the dirt, and taking advantage of the public opinion to conduct a thorough investigation, it would be quite a good idea.

After much consideration, Li Mu decided to meet with Zhu Wei and have a talk.

……

That noon, Zhu Wei walked out of the criminal investigation team compound and was about to go to a nearby shop for lunch when his phone suddenly rang.

"Captain Zhu, let's have a meal together and chat."

This was a sensitive moment, and Zhu Wei was taken aback: "Who are you?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "I gave you a big gift a few days ago: that document from the little shop near the Criminal Investigation Team."

Zhu Wei's heart skipped a beat: "Okay, where is it?"

Li Mu gave the restaurant address, and about twenty minutes later, Zhu Wei walked into the private room and was taken aback to see a young man in his twenties sitting inside.

"You are..."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I am... Captain Zhu, please have a seat."

Zhu Wei suppressed his curiosity and sat down opposite him.

"Did you really send that document?"

Li Mu said, "Could it be anyone else?"

Zhu Wei sized him up a few times, feeling cautious: "Sir, your accent doesn't sound like that of a local?"

"no!"

"Then you..." Zhu Wei probed carefully, "Why did you get involved in this? It's dangerous. Do you have a grudge against the Kahn Group? Or is there some other connection?"

Li Mu smiled and looked at him: "Captain Zhu, you are very cautious. If I don't reveal my identity, it seems you will press me for details and won't believe me."

"I understand. Sometimes we need to be more honest in order to cooperate better."

Zhu Wei smiled and said, "I'm sorry, this is a very important matter, so I have to be careful."

Li Mu didn't say anything, and handed over his student ID.

Zhu Wei took it and looked at it, then paused, stunned: "You're a graduate student at the University of Political Science and Law? Still enrolled? What are you doing here...you..."

Li Mu handed over another certificate for volunteer teaching. Zhu Wei took it and looked at it carefully. He asked in surprise, "You're here to volunteer as a teacher?" His tone was much better, and the wariness on his face had mostly disappeared.

Then his expression became even more serious.

“You’re still a student, you don’t know how dangerous this is. The most important thing for you right now is to study hard and teach well, don’t meddle in so many other things.”

"This involves too many complexities and is not suitable for your involvement."

Li Mu looked at him and shook his head: "If I could, I wouldn't want to get involved. But since someone is targeting my student, I have to intervene."

Zhu Wei's expression turned serious: "What's going on?"

Li Mu said, "There's a blond guy named Yue Jun who's trying to drag my students to the county town to play."

Zhu Wei's face turned cold: "It seems that Yue Jun still has a lot to explain. Is your student alright?"

Li Mu said, "I beat him up and he ran away."

Zhu Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "People like that deserve to be beaten."

Li Mu said, "On the day he was beaten away, another student of mine was also targeted by him. At that time, she was hiding at home and dared not come to school. When I arrived, Huang Mao was pulling her into the car."

"When he saw me, the blond-haired man was startled and ran away."

Zhu Wei's face showed anger: "This blond guy is simply lawless."

Li Mu continued, "A few days later, Huang Mao and two others came to block my way on the street with baseballs, and I beat them up again."

“Then a few days later, I heard from my students that he had his eye on another girl in our class and often loitered around the school. I found him nearby and gave him a good beating.”

"But judging from his appearance, he harbors a lot of resentment. He not only wants to cause trouble for my students, but also for me. I have no choice but to strike first and give you the items so you can take action."

"Captain Zhu, do you think I can still stand aside?"

“This bastard,” Zhu Wei slammed his hand on the table and looked at Li Mu with a serious expression: “Teacher Hou, you did the right thing. You are a good teacher. On behalf of the students, I thank you.”

Chapter 234 Cooperation

Li Mu smiled and said, "Captain Zhu, there's no need for that. As a teacher, protecting students is my duty, and I have no choice but to do so. Now that you mention it, I feel embarrassed."

Zhu Wei laughed heartily and said, "Old Zhu is a straightforward person, and what I just said was from the bottom of my heart. Brother Hou, you are one of the most responsible teachers I have ever met."

"Don't worry, I'll interrogate Huang Mao as soon as we get back. I'll make sure he suffers and confesses everything."

Li Mu said, "Captain Zhu, do you think this kind of thing is just Huang Mao's business?"

Zhu Wei looked at him and said, "Teacher Zhu, you mean..."

Li Mu said thoughtfully, "To do something like this so brazenly, relying on that little thug Huang Mao, who does he think he is? He doesn't have anyone backing him up, so he dares to do this."

Zhu Wei sighed.

Li Mu stared at him and said, "Captain Zhu, you're a veteran criminal investigation captain. I don't believe you don't know the inside story here."

Zhu Wei gave a wry smile, looking somewhat ashamed.

"Brother Hou, this is too complicated and involves too many things. It can't be explained in just a few words."

"I wanted to find out the truth before, but if someone hadn't spoken up for me, I would have been stripped of my identity. Some things aren't that we can't get involved, but they're just too difficult."

Li Mu said, "I understand your difficulties. Sometimes, when the enemy is powerful, you have to hold back your punch in order to strike back more effectively."

"But sometimes, it's time to strike when the time is right, because the enemy might just be a paper tiger."
