The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

After the ambulance left, Ma Guoliang's face darkened, and he ordered the auxiliary police officer who was with him to drive the police car away.

He drove a police car, closely following the ambulance.

Wang Jianming was at home, half-reclining on the sofa, warming himself by the fireplace. He had just received a report from Ma Guoliang that Chen Shi had captured the fugitive Zhang Dong.

My first reaction was, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could fugitive Zhang Dong have escaped back to Longtougou Village?" I told Ma Guoliang to take two auxiliary police officers to check the situation and report back immediately.

The phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Lei Heng calling. He quickly sat up straight, answered the phone with a smile, and said, "Director Lei."

"What's wrong with you? Chen Shi caught the fugitive Zhang Dong, but you didn't report it to me beforehand."

Wang Jianming's computer crashed for three seconds. "Impossible! How could Chen Shi have caught the fugitive Zhang Dong?"

"Director Lei, who told you that?"

"Give me back who told me that Zhang Xiangdong led a large team of police officers to Fushan Town, and they're almost at your police station."

Lei Heng asked curtly, "You don't even know about this?"

Wang Jianming was bitter inside. That kid Chen Shi didn't take him, the top leader, seriously at all.

"Director Lei, Chen Shi doesn't respect me at all. What is it that he's acting on his own..."

Lei Heng interrupted Wang Jianming: "How could you be the top leader, being manipulated by a subordinate like this? Such a big thing, and you only realized it after the fact."

I was thinking of transferring you to the bureau; I don't think you're even qualified for the position of station chief.

Before Wang Jianming could say anything more, Lei Heng had already hung up the phone.

Some are happy while others are sad. Wang Jianming is now in a real bind, and he hates Chen Shi to death.

You're deliberately messing with me, kid. You didn't even tell me about something this big.

On second thought, Chen Shi had now made a great contribution and was transferred back to the bureau as a leader, so why should he have the right to control him?

Even within the institute, I don't have the power to control others.

He called Ma Guoliang and asked why he hadn't reported it in time. He vented his anger on Ma Guoliang, and after venting, he felt a little better after hanging up.

He then called Xu Linlin again and instructed all staff at the station to return to work overtime to welcome Zhang Xiangdong, the director of the Public Security Bureau.

Wang Jianming and his men stood shivering in the cold wind outside for half an hour before four or five police cars from the Public Security Bureau, sirens blaring, and two ambulances drove into the police station.

As soon as the car stopped, Wang Jianming jogged over and opened the car door.

Zhang Xiangdong came out, and Wang Jianming smiled and said, "Director Zhang."

Zhang Xiangdong looked at the dense crowd and asked, "What are you all doing?"

Wang Jianming quickly explained, "We heard you were coming down, so all the staff at the police station came to greet you."

"Why are you welcoming me? Chief Wang, can't you tell the difference between what's important and what's not? Chief Chen risked his life to arrest fugitive Zhang Dong, and you're sending officers to pick me up? What's the meaning of this?"

"We shouldn't be sending all our police force to assist Chief Chen in bringing back the fugitive Zhang Dong."

Wang Jianming, in a moment of desperation, had already botched the job. He quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Director Zhang, I'll arrange for all the officers in the station to assist Chief Chen in bringing the fugitive Zhang Dong back."

Zhang Xiangdong didn't even glance at Wang Jianming: "I called Director Chen, they'll be here in no time. No need to bother them, just tell them to disperse. What are they doing standing outside in this freezing weather?"

Wang Jianming waved to Xu Linlin, who then said to the crowd, "Let's disperse."

Wang Jianming's forehead was covered in cold sweat. What was wrong with him today? He was hitting a wall at every turn. Standing next to Zhang Xiangdong, he didn't know what to say, and he was afraid of saying the wrong thing.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the ambulance from the health center drove into the police station, and Zhang Xiangdong went over to greet it.

The ambulance door opened, and Chen Shi, along with Zhang Hu and the others, got out.

Seeing Zhang Xiangdong approaching, Chen Shi jogged up to him and said, "Director Zhang, the fugitive Zhang Dong's condition has stabilized and he's stopped bleeding. He needs to be taken to the county hospital immediately to have the bullet removed."

Zhang Xiangdong looked at the bandage wrapped around Chen Shi's head: "How are your injuries?"

Chen Shi didn't expect that Zhang Xiangdong wouldn't immediately confirm Zhang Dong's identity, but instead would care about him.

"Director Zhang, I'm fine, just a minor injury."

"A head injury is no small matter. Come with me to the hospital for a full check-up."

Zhang Dong was pushed off the ambulance and transferred to an ambulance at the county hospital.

Upon confirming the identity of the fugitive Zhang Dong, Zhang Xiangdong immediately reported to the relevant leaders of the Mingzhou Public Security Bureau.

The Mingzhou Public Security Bureau reported to the Provincial Public Security Department, which immediately issued an order to transfer the fugitive Zhang Dong to the county hospital for treatment. The Provincial Public Security Department and the Yizhou Public Security Bureau dispatched a special task force to take over the case. Once Zhang Dong's condition improved, he was transferred to Yizhou.

Ma Guoliang, accompanied by auxiliary police officers, drove three police cars into the police station.

He had never met Zhang Xiangdong before, only seen his photos. Today, seeing him in person was a rare opportunity, so he had to show his face. He quickly ran to Zhang Xiangdong's side.

"Director Zhang, I am Ma Guoliang, the deputy leader of the special task force of Fushan Town Police Station."

Zhang Xiangdong looked at Ma Guoliang: "You went on this arrest operation too."

Ma Guoliang quickly said, "I'm in Longtougou Village, here to meet up with Chief Chen."

So, if he didn't participate in the arrest, what was he doing running away? Zhang Xiangdong completely ignored Ma Guoliang and checked the time: 9 PM.

"Return to the Public Security Bureau immediately, Chief Chen. Take my car to the hospital for a full checkup."

"Yes," Chen Shi said with a big smile as he ran over, opened the car door, and Zhang Xiangdong got in.

"Don't sit in the front passenger seat, sit in the back with me and give me a detailed report on the arrest process."

Chen Shi sat down with a joyful expression. He had won the gamble this time, and becoming a deputy section chief should be no problem.

Wang Jianming's face was gloomy. Seeing Chen Shi's obsequious manner made him feel disgusted. Thinking about his own behavior in front of Lei Heng, he felt even more disgusted.

The police car, sirens blaring, followed by an ambulance, drove towards the county town.

Ma Guoliang's face darkened, and Zhang Xiangdong completely ignored him.

Wang Jianming snorted coldly: "Old Ma, you are the deputy leader of the special task force. Why didn't you report such an important matter as the capture of fugitive Zhang Dong to me?"

Ma Guoliang said with a wronged expression, "Officer Wang, I didn't receive any arrest notice at all. It was the health center that told me."

The two men turned to look at Zhang Hu, who quickly said, "This was arranged by Director Chen. He told us to keep it a secret and secretly arrest the fugitive Zhang Dong."

Wang Jianming suppressed his anger. Zhang Hu had participated in the arrest and made a great contribution this time, so he didn't dare to curse him. Zhang Hu was protected by Chen Shi and was not someone he could easily manipulate.

Take a deep breath to calm the pent-up anger in your heart.

"Write me a detailed account of the capture of fugitive Zhang Dong, without missing a single detail."

Zhang Hu dared not refuse to write: "Yes".

Xu Linlin walked over: "Director Wang, they asked if we can go home now that there's nothing else wrong?"

"What are you doing here? Go back to work as usual tomorrow."

Just as Xu Linlin turned around, Wang Jianming, as if remembering something, called out, "Wait a minute."

Wang Jianming quickly walked to Xu Linlin's side and whispered, "Officer Chen's head injury is serious. Shouldn't you tell your cousin and go with him to check on him?"

Xu Linlin said "Oh," and added, "I'll tell her later."

Chen Shi, I can't do anything with you, so I'll spread a rumor that you're about to die, is that alright?
