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

Chen Shi had been on edge lately, but after getting home, he took a hot bath and was finally able to get a good night's sleep.

The next day at work, the document on the campaign against organized crime was distributed to the bureau, and a mobilization meeting for the campaign was held in the afternoon.

The meeting mainly conveyed the contents of the documents on cracking down on organized crime, and what fell within the scope of the crackdown on organized crime.

Several key leaders from the bureau, including Zhang Xiangdong, made speeches and announced the establishment of a special task force to combat organized crime. The task force was headed by Zhang Xiangdong, with Lei Heng, Song Youming, and Chen Shi as deputy heads, and Zhang Feng, the captain of the criminal investigation team, as the deputy head.

After the meeting, Zhang Xiangdong called Chen Shi to his office.

Chen Shi sat down, looking excited, and said, "Director Zhang, next, can we really unleash our full potential and thoroughly wipe out the criminal gangs?"

Zhang Xiangdong poured Chen Shi a cup of tea: "Hey kid, what's the rush? First, figure out a way to catch Fu Biao. That's your most urgent task right now."

With the issuance of the anti-gang and anti-crime document, how could Lei Heng miss such a good opportunity? It was only a matter of time before Fu Biao was identified as a member of a criminal gang.

If you don't catch Fu Biao soon, I won't have any reason to protect you. As the head of the public security management team, you will be dismissed. You will be the first deputy section-level leader to be dismissed because of the crackdown on organized crime.

With this stain on your record, your political career is over.

Chen Shi's chrysanthemum tightened; he hadn't expected it to be so serious. Hu Santai was his benefactor; without him, he would have been finished.

A career in politics is like dancing on a tightrope; you could fall into an endless abyss at any moment.

"Director Zhang, I understand. We will catch Fu Biao as soon as possible."

"Now many eyes are on you. Do you have a mature plan for arresting Fu Biao?"

Zhang Xiangdong didn't want Chen Shi, this sharp sword, to break before it was even drawn.

"It's not exactly mature, but I'm confident. I'll report back to you once I've made my plans."

Zhang Xiangdong's eyes lit up: "Do you know where Fu Biao is?"

"It's not certain yet, it's just speculation, we'll have to wait for confirmation."

"Stop talking nonsense and get on with it. Be quick and arrest Fu Biao before your political enemies can react."

It's highly likely that Lei Heng, in league with Song Youming, will launch an attack on you by tomorrow or the day after at the latest.

They're using the "crackdown on organized crime" label to pin this on me, and I can't handle it. At most, I can buy you some time, but not much longer. If you can't catch Fu Biao in the short term, you'll be dismissed.

Chen Shi nodded: "I understand, Director Zhang, I'll go and implement it right away."

"Go," Zhang Xiangdong said, watching Chen Shi's departing figure. This was a test, and if he couldn't withstand it, there was no need to place high hopes on him. He should go back to where he came from.

Chen Shi returned to his office and devised a detailed arrest plan. The goal was not only to arrest the perpetrators but also to obtain evidence to prevent his political enemies from turning the tide.

Having served as the head of the public security management brigade for three months, it's time to give the officialdom of Chunyang County a major upheaval.

Pick up your phone and call Liu Feng, asking him to notify Wang Tao, Wang Haiyang, Zhang Hu, and Li Li to come to his office for a meeting.

These men were all Chen Shi's confidants. The arrest plan had to be kept secret from outsiders, as this operation was related to their political lives.

Chen Shi picked up his phone and called Xu Ping'an, asking him to come to the meeting.

The atmosphere in the office was somewhat heavy. Zhang Hu, Liu Feng, Wang Tao, Wang Haiyang, Li Li, and Xu Ping'an were all completely bewildered and looked at Chen Shi.

Xu Pingan asked, "Captain Chen, did you call us over because there's something important you need to say?"

Chen Shi nodded: "This is a big deal, it concerns our political lives. If we succeed, everyone here will be promoted. If we fail, our political lives will end here, and we won't have any chance to turn things around."

Chen Shi glanced at the group and said, "You are all my most trusted confidants in the bureau. Do you dare to make a big bet with me?"

None of them had ever seen Chen Shi so serious before. Zhang Hu was the first to speak up: "Captain Chen, I am your soldier. Give the order and execute it strictly."

Seeing Zhang Hu's stance, Liu Feng realized he had no way out. He would follow Chen Shi to the bitter end, and even if he failed, he wouldn't regret it, at least he had tried.

"Team Leader Chen, I agree with Zhang Hu, please give the order."

Wang Tao replied, "I swear to follow Captain Chen to the death. You tell me what to do, and I will carry it out strictly."

Xu Pingan looked at Chen Shi: "Captain Chen, we've been comrades for a long time. If there's anything you need, just let me know."

Wang Haiyang and Li Li also echoed and followed Chen Shi.

Chen Shi was very satisfied; he hadn't misjudged the man.

"This matter must be kept absolutely secret. Don't tell anyone. From now on, you are not allowed to leave the police station."

Chen Shi looked at Liu Feng and Wang Tao.

"Liu Feng, Wang Tao, you two get your guns ready and each take five auxiliary police officers from the Public Security Management Brigade. You must trust them completely. Follow me. We'll set off at nine o'clock tonight."

Liu Feng and Wang Tao both said in unison, "Yes."

Chen Shi looked at Zhang Hu and Wang Haiyang: "Zhang Hu, Wang Haiyang, you two also prepare your guns, and each take five auxiliary police officers from the Criminal Investigation Brigade. You must trust them completely. They will follow behind us and be ready to provide support at any time."

The two said in unison, "Yes."

Chen Shi looked at Li Li: "Li Li, you take the auxiliary police officers from the traffic police brigade and be at the Great World Dance Hall, one kilometer away from the city. Be there at eight o'clock and check all vehicles leaving the city. If you find any suspicious vehicles, report to me immediately."

After 9 PM, block all entrances and exits of the Grand World Dance Hall. No vehicle will be allowed to leave, nor will any vehicle be allowed to enter. Can this be done?

Li Li clenched his fist: "Don't worry, Captain Chen, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

Chen Shi looked at Xu Ping'an: "Ping'an, you're in charge of supporting their work. If they encounter any obstacles during the operation, can you provide them with assistance? Can you handle it?"

Xu Pingan nodded heavily: "Okay, carrying a gun on patrol requires reporting. I'll detain him in the political work section. If the leaders hold him accountable, I'll take the blame."

Chen Shi glanced at his watch: "There are still ten minutes until the end of the workday. Go down and make arrangements. The personnel who have been reassigned, starting now, must hand over their cell phones and bring them to my office. They are not allowed to leave the police station even for a moment."

Without asking what the mission was, the group went off to make arrangements.

As Xu Ping'an left, he glanced at Chen Shi, who gave him an approving look.

As night falls, the county town's nightlife begins; spring has arrived, and people are starting to stir.

Fu Biao and a few of his underlings were playing cards to kill time. They'd been stuck here for over a month and weren't allowed to leave; it was driving them crazy.

Fu Biao was restless, feeling that something was going to happen tonight. He hadn't been with a woman in a long time, and it was really hard to bear.

Frustrated and irritable, he stood up, kicked over the table, and roared, "I told you to bring a woman here, why haven't you brought her yet?"

The henchman next to him said, "Brother Biao, Boss Lao instructed that you are not allowed to contact anyone other than us."

"I want to sleep with a woman. Go find me one right now. You have one hour. If you don't see a woman, I'll go find one myself."

The younger brother standing next to him quickly stood up, left the private room, and called Lauder.

"Boss Lao, Brother Biao wants a woman. If he doesn't see one within an hour, he'll go out and look for one. We can't stop him."

"Keep him calm and don't let him leave. I'll find a way to send one over with him."
