In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

Command Center of Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Li Dakang personally led his team to oversee the operation, looking up at the scenes unfolding on the screen.

"Secretary Li, there are 84 P2P platform companies in our city. Nearly half of them have no registration record. Only one state-owned holding company has clearly stated that it does not have problems such as a capital pool or disguised self-financing. The others are all operating illegally."

There are about 230 microcredit companies, of which 92 are registered and licensed. However, more than 80% of these companies engage in illegal lending activities, and 38 of them have seriously crossed the line into illegality.

Yang Xinhun, the current director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau and former executive deputy director, reported on the situation. He didn't even bother to mention the 138 illegal online lending companies, since they were operating illegally, what legal things could he expect them to do?

"In addition, there are about 1900 debt collectors in the city, but only about 400 of them are affiliated with legitimate licensed micro-loan companies."

Li Dakang frowned. The operation to arrest 1500 people was a major challenge for Jingzhou, and this was only a portion of them.

How many people work for the platform company?

Li Dakang asked.

"There are around 2000 registered employees, and an estimated 5000 unregistered employees plus outsourced employees."

Seeing Li Dakang's eyes darken instantly, Yang Xinhun quickly added, "Of course, these 5000 people include the illegal debt collectors mentioned earlier. The total target of this operation is approximately 6000 people."

Li Dakang was so angry he laughed.

It's amazing that so many people in Jingzhou, the provincial capital, are engaged in this industry. We owe it all to Wu Xiongfei!

Promote a long-term insurance company, and it collapses; support a platform company, and the entire industry is about to explode.

What kind of rubbish is this?

There are too many people!

Li Dakang took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing his anger, and took the relevant documents handed over by Yang Xinhun. "The platform company's management team has about 1500 people, and the debt collection team's management team has about 500 people, totaling 2000 people."

"Can these two thousand people be brought under control?"

Mission accomplished!

Yang Xinhun quickly drafted a reply in his mind, then saluted and made his promise.

"Minister Pan, how are the preparations going with the publicity department?"

Li Dakang looked at Pan Lin, who had come with him. This matter was of great importance, and Pan Lin had to be present to control all changes in the situation.

With such a large-scale operation, it's impossible to keep the news from leaking. Even if news of the exercise is released, some people will still speculate wildly, leading to negative public opinion.

And for the propaganda department:

Its biggest challenge lies in ensuring that the credibility of the provincial party committee and government is not lost. It is easy to issue a brief newsletter about an exercise, but it is difficult to gain the trust of the people.

In addition, the matter came about in a very urgent manner.

They weren't given enough time and space to prepare; everything seemed rushed.

"Secretary Li, I want to do the opposite."

Pan Lin sat down to the side, her gaze fixed on the notebook in her hands. "I consulted Director Qi, and it turns out that we usually conduct a rehearsal for this kind of thing, and then carry out the arrest operation in the final stage after the target has lowered their guard."

"This time, let's do it the other way around."

"This is the first normal arrest operation, but cities including Jingzhou should make the exercise a regular and long-term practice, both to appease public sentiment and to ensure that hidden criminals do not escape easily."

Pan Lin offered her suggestions from a publicity perspective.

"Minister Pan's suggestion is brilliant!"

Li Dakang immediately said, "Such a deployment of operations can not only collect and summon other inconvenient suspects at any time based on clues, but also prevent the P2P platform from making a comeback. Most importantly, it can avoid deliberate retaliation by local or even foreign extremists."

Pan Lin turned her face away awkwardly. This Li Dakang…

She made suggestions entirely based on her own perspective and influence, without considering so many key factors, yet the other party praised her to the skies.

Li Dakang dared to speak, but she didn't dare to respond.

"So, what should we do?"

Li Dakang realized that he seemed to be overreacting, and he blamed Lin Zhiyuan for turning it into an instinctive reaction.

But he himself didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Firstly, Pan Lin's suggestions were very much in line with the current situation in Jingzhou and even the whole province. Secondly, whether public opinion in Jingzhou was good or bad depended entirely on how well the provincial propaganda department supported it, so he had to support it.

"Comrade Xinhun, could you contact Standing Committee Member Shao and Director Qi to see if other brother cities have completed their preparations?"

Li Dakang gave the order.

Two and a half hours later, Lin Zhiyuan's car finally entered Haoxian Hospital.

"Boss, the hospital director and Mayor Yuan Liang are waiting for you."

Xiao Gao quickly reported the situation.

"What is Yuan Liang doing here? Does he know how to treat patients or what? Arrange for police protection and let him go back to work at the city government."

Lin Zhiyuan frowned and quickly gave instructions, "Have the dean and the attending physician come to see me, and also have them meet with Comrade Tianhen's personal driver."

Xiao Gao quickly relayed the boss's instructions.

"How is Comrade Tianhen doing now? Is his life in danger?"

Lin Zhiyuan sat in the dean's office, asking questions of the dean and the attending physician.

"Governor Qiu suffered some blast damage to his back during the car explosion, with an estimated deep second-degree burn. He is still in a coma and in shock."

The attending physician quickly replied, "Upon admission, we immediately established an intravenous fluid access and monitored vital signs and urine output. At this stage, we have mainly performed basic debridement, removed foreign objects and damaged skin, bandaged the wound, and administered prophylactic antibiotics. Our primary goal at present is to maintain stable vital signs."

"My colleagues and I, along with relevant experts who came from Luzhou, held a collective consultation and also connected with Jingzhou. We believe that Governor Qiu's condition is currently stable, and we have decided not to perform surgery."

"The specific situation will depend on the changes in the next two days, whether the scab has formed stably, and whether there is any infection. If pus oozing, fever, or other acute conditions are found, the hospital has already prepared corresponding adjustments to the treatment plan."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his life was probably safe.

"Alright, Comrade Tianhen's safety is now in your hands."

Lin Zhiyuan handed over a business card, stood up to say goodbye, and said, "If any emergency occurs, please contact me immediately."

Back in the car.

A reserved middle-aged man was already waiting, his left hand in a sling; he was Qiu Tianhen's personal driver.

"Comrade Li Shan, this time we've dragged you into this vortex."

Lin Zhiyuan apologized.

"Executive Director Lin, please don't say that."

Li Shan waved his hands repeatedly, "Governor Qiu discussed this with me beforehand, and it was my own choice."

"I just didn't expect it."

"Those people really dared to use dirty tricks, directly hiring thugs to ram us with a truck."

"I thought such outrageous things only happened in TV dramas."

TV dramas need to be logical, but reality doesn't.

"Comrade Li Shan, tell me the details."
