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

Darkness descended, shrouding the sky above Diaozhou.

As dusk faded, the last rays of sunlight faded.

It's now completely nighttime.

Rows of luxury cars are parked around Crescent Lake and along the West Lake. Public roads are forcibly blocked by men in black. Actually, there's no need to block them, as locals rarely travel this way at this time.

"Brother Beibei!"

A fair-skinned young man with rosy cheeks jogged toward a young man in a black racing suit who stepped out of a sports car, his smile more alluring than a woman's.

"Call me Nima."

Feng Beibei kicked the young man who lunged at her to the ground, then kicked him twice more, yelling, "Call me Brother Biao!"

Feng Beibei disliked his name, finding it effeminate, but his father forbade him to change it, claiming it was given to him by his own mother. So, he could only have his men call him Brother Biao outside, to show off his imposing and domineering presence.

"Hey, Brother Biao."

The young man nimbly got up, dusted himself off, and didn't care at all. "I was just afraid that if I kept saying it, it wouldn't be good if I gave myself away in front of Mayor Feng."

"If you pronounce it wrong, that's your problem."

Feng Beibei glanced at him, then reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, lowering her voice to ask, "Is everything ready?"

"Don't worry, everything will remain the same."

The young man patted his chest and assured him, but his expression hesitated, revealing a hint of worry. "Brother Biao, now that the provincial department and the provincial procuratorate have special task forces down here, won't it be too high-profile for us to continue doing this?"

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Feng Beibei scoffed, "We're just racing. Even if the provincial authorities come to arrest us, what good will it do? My father's still around."

"Oh!"

"Is anyone from your traffic police team coming over? So what if they find the listening device? As long as they don't have concrete evidence, they can't arrest us."

"Wait until they find the evidence."

"Me, you, and them, we've all taken our money and are enjoying a wonderful life on the other side of the ocean."

Speaking of which...

The worry on the young man's face completely disappeared, replaced by arrogance and pride. "I have to thank Brother Biao for his help. Otherwise, my Lanling Road and Bridge Company and my family's Jiangling Real Estate wouldn't be able to sit back and collect money."

"Brother Biao, your idea to set up a chamber of commerce was brilliant! A bunch of useless trash, willingly offering themselves up to leech off us, hahaha!"

"What are you flattering me for!"

Feng Beibei's eyes were equally filled with excitement. "You really think I, someone born to enjoy life, could have imagined establishing a chamber of commerce?"

"Could it be Mayor Feng...?"

The young man asked curiously.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't know."

Feng Beibei tightened her grip on his neck, causing the young man to hiss in pain. "You and your father only need to know that whether it's the Chamber of Commerce or anything else, this was all orchestrated by a big shot. A real big shot in Handong Province!"

"He has my protection."

"No one can really investigate us."

"I'm fed up with having to spend money secretly even when I have it. Now that I'm abroad, I'm going to enjoy myself."

Feng Beibei said unhappily.

If things were any more lenient, who would be willing to leave their hometown and abandon their roots? Unfortunately, things are getting stricter and stricter now.

I can't take it anymore!

"I'll pay for all of Brother Biao's expenses for the first month after we leave."

I echoed.

"sensible!"

Feng Beibei patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "After you go abroad, I'll help you deal with those brothers and sisters of yours."

"Thank you, Brother Biao!"

More and more sports cars appeared on the west side of the ring road, gathering in front of the starting line. The five red lights went out at the same time, and the roar of engines exploded like wild beasts. The sports cars shot out like arrows.

Outside the racing car.

Many other vehicles followed behind.

However, Feng Beibei, who is rumored to be obsessed with racing, was not among them.

After taking off his racing suit.

Led by the young man, they got into another car parked by the roadside, where a blond, blue-eyed foreigner in a suit was also in the car.

The car started moving slowly.

He quickly integrated into the convoy that was following him.

Switch to the audio channel and turn on video/audio recording mode.

In a pavilion in a scenic area on the west bank of Crescent Lake, Wang Bo stared intently at the images transmitted from the road surveillance cameras and the aerial drone. As the order was given, the surveillance footage switched to the interior of the vehicle, which happened to be inside the car with Feng Beibei and the foreigner.

"The road to Diaozhou is quite straight!"

"It's a waste to use it for ordinary transportation; it's perfect for hosting high-speed car races."

Wang Bo launched into a series of sarcastic remarks.

Chen Jingshan, the captain of the traffic police brigade of the municipal bureau, lowered his head and dared not answer. He had really tried his best and had arrested people, but they were always brought out. Even Director Feng could not stop them. What could he do?

"Send all the audio and video recordings back to the provincial department."

Wang Bo didn't delve into the matter further and continued to order, "The undercover team members should protect themselves. There's no need to film the entire process. Concealing the truth and ensuring your own safety is the top priority."

One round trip.

The convoy stopped again, but Feng Beibei and her group's activities had just begun. A group of spoiled young men escorted Feng Beibei onto a yacht that was already moored by the lake.

The surveillance footage switched again.

Feng Beibei, who was originally the center of the crowd, was detached from it, but this time the person she was meeting with was a dark-skinned South Asian.

"Captain Wang, we've never seen these two people before."

Chen Jingshan affirmed.

He didn't want to be accused of deliberately covering up a crime, so he explained, "Really! Our previous operations were all recorded on video."

"I know."

Wang Bo rubbed his temples wearily. Around three or four in the morning, the chaos on the yacht finally subsided.

"That's enough, finish up the rest."

Wang Bo instructed, "Preserve all the evidence. I need to report everything I've gathered tonight to Captain Wang."

Municipal Bureau.

Wang Fangqi was dozing off with his head on the desk when there was a sudden knock on the office door. "Come in!"

Wang Fangqi opened his bloodshot eyes and called out in a hoarse voice.

"Team Leader Wang, Team Leader Wang Bo has returned all the investigation materials."

Report from provincial department officials.

"good!"

Wang Fangqi took the documents and audio-visual evidence, his brows furrowing more and more. He opened another document on the table, which was the provincial procuratorate's investigation into the Ling Chamber of Commerce.

Just a little bit more…

Then the evidence will be complete.

However, the economic crime investigation team he led had not yet made any breakthroughs in its investigation of the abnormal savings rate in Diaozhou and was stuck at this step.

Jingle Bell!

The phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number from Changzhou.

"Captain Wang, this is Hou Liangping."

As soon as the call was answered, a friendly greeting came through: "You're still awake? I certainly can't sleep."

"Director Hou, have you found anything?"

Wang Fangqi's face twitched. If it were one of his subordinates who dared to talk back at this moment, he would have already cursed them out. But he couldn't curse this person, which didn't stop him from being sarcastic.

Who doesn't know?

Hou Liangping, as the team leader, spent all his time holed up in the office, leaving all the tasks to Wang Jun.

He was very dissatisfied!

Everyone is putting in their full effort. Even if you're playing injured, you should at least make a show of it, right?

"There really is."

Hou Liangping seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in his words and gave a smug smile.

"Captain Wang, have you ever seen Diaozhou at four in the morning? It's incredibly lively there!"
