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

"Executive Director Lin, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late at night."

Upon seeing the call connected, Qi Tongwei immediately said, "The case in Diaozhou has made a breakthrough, but uncontrollable factors have also emerged, so I have to report to you immediately."

"do not bother!"

A clear and steady voice came from the other end, "I've been waiting for your call."

"Now tell me in detail about the situation in Diaozhou and the difficulties we encountered."

"OK."

Qi Tongwei was slightly taken aback, but Lin Zhiyuan's voice did not contain the languor or irritation of someone who had been startled awake. He quickly reported to his superior:

"Firstly, a bugging device was found in the Fengyang office of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Comrade Fang Qi instructed him to investigate the installation and loss of the bugging device registration, but there has been no progress for two days, and he has been evasive when questioned. I suspect that he is involved in something wrong."

"Secondly, Wang Ping'an, the criminal investigation captain of the municipal bureau who was previously suspended by me due to loopholes in his statements, is suspected of becoming a shield for the mastermind behind the scenes. The Liu San case is also part of the plan. According to Comrade Shi Wei's report, Wang Ping'an has generously donated money and helped the poor for 25 years and has a great reputation among the people he has helped. Now that the news of his suspension and investigation has been leaked, it may be used by someone with ulterior motives. I am afraid that there is a possibility that the public will lose control."

"Thirdly, Comrade Wang Bo assisted the undercover investigation team in tracking down Feng Beibei, discovering that he was using racing and yachts as pretexts to privately contact intermediaries and underground banks across the ocean and in South Asia, and monitoring that funds under his name were being transferred in batches;"

"Fourth, the Ling Chamber of Commerce has huge problems. It is the actual controller that uses a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises as fuel to grow the chamber of commerce. Moreover, Comrade Liangping discovered that the Ling Chamber of Commerce illegally raised funds online and offline through the Black Gold Wealth platform in the form of mutual assistance. The severity of the problem is probably less than that of the Ping An case."

"Fifth, Comrade Liangping speculates that Feng Beibei and her gang, including the Lingshang Association, are just like Liu San, Li Tingna, and Wang Ping'an, who are used as pawns to attract attention. The real masterminds have probably already amassed a lot of wealth and are secretly transferring personnel and assets."

"But we haven't found out how they transferred the money. And the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce involves many small and medium-sized enterprises. If we don't handle it carefully, it could cause instability."

Is this a form of illegal fundraising through mutual aid schemes? Online or offline?

Lin Zhiyuan murmured the two words softly, and Qi Tongwei heard them too, but didn't say a word.

"As expected of your scheme!"

Lin Zhiyuan suddenly chuckled, but his words were cold: "Do you remember how the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government handled Comrade Tianhen's incident?"

"Remember."

Qi Tongwei swallowed hard, shuddering. Did he really have to go through this again?

"Executive Director Ke Lin, we haven't figured out who's behind this case yet. If we act now, there's a risk of someone slipping through the net, and the evidence we've gathered isn't complete enough."

Qi Tongwei wanted to slow down.

"The events in Chuzhou and Lüzhou cannot happen a third time, so we must act quickly; only by acting quickly can we stabilize the situation."

"In the face of stability."

"The others can be put off. From the smallest to the largest, they are all in the same boat. We can examine them one by one and investigate them one by one."

Lin Zhiyuan's attitude is beyond question.

"I see."

Qi Tongwei instantly changed his thinking. He vaguely guessed who was behind the scheme in Diaozhou. According to that person's plan, things would change if he delayed. "I will first secure the evidence against Feng Beibei, then dig deeper into the internal interests of the group, arrest those playboys first, then investigate the Ling Chamber of Commerce, interrogate Feng Baoyi, and finally find out the mastermind behind it all."

"Good that you understand."

Lin Zhiyuan said with satisfaction, "Two days! I'll give you two more days at most."

"If you encounter difficulties in your operation, go to Secretary Guofu. He can remove the obstacles in your way."

"clear!"

Qi Tongwei nodded immediately, then hesitated and said, "Executive Director Lin, there's one more thing. If there really is a problem in Fengyang, I'm afraid it's Xia Yu, the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, or even a high-ranking comrade within the Provincial Political and Legal Committee."

"Don't worry about that."

Lin Zhiyuan reassured them, "We've already caught the rats inside the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission."

"Once you take action, we can take them all at once."

The phone hangs up.

Qi Tongwei disregarded the time and called Qin Zhuofeng and Tian Guofu, who had come to Diaozhou but had not shown up, to explain the situation and his difficulties.

I went to work the next day.

Qin Zhuofeng arrived at the municipal government with dark circles under his eyes, attracting frequent glances from other officials. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that a giant panda from Tianfu had escaped.

That damned Qi Tongwei!

Do you even know what 4 a.m. means? Do you even know what bedtime is?

He led his team to oversee the municipal party committee and government building. On the surface, there seemed to be no progress, but in fact, in order to avoid any mistakes, every document was checked stroke by stroke. He stayed up for three days and two nights.

I thought I could get two or three hours of sleep last night, but less than twenty minutes after I fell asleep, the phone rang. It was another call urging me to hurry up with the progress, the deadline, and to solve a problem.

He could only crawl out of bed.

Keep working overtime!

"Secretary Qin, you..."

When the municipal party secretary, Qingguo, came to visit, he was nearly scared to death. If the other person died there, the consequences would be dire. "Work is important, but you must also take care of your health!"

"It's alright, things will be over soon."

Qin Zhuofeng looked up from the pile of documents and gave him a long, thoughtful look. If Feng Baoyi was untrustworthy, could Qingguo really be trusted?

He stays here.

The pressure is on the two of them.

"A major breakthrough?"

Qingguo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly confirmed.

"not yet."

Qin Zhuofeng shook his head. "But there's someone who really wants to talk to you, or rather, to have a chat with you both."

Who?

Qingguo didn't have time to ask a question in return.

The office door was pushed open, revealing a man with a powerful stride, broad shoulders, and a burly build, dressed in a black police uniform.

"It's me!"

Qi Tongwei quickly walked in, sat down next to him, and his opening remarks were like a thunderbolt: "Secretary Qing, I'd like to meet with all the department-level and above cadres and heads of major enterprises in Diaozhou, including schools, state-owned enterprises, and banks. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

What!

Qingguo was so shocked he almost stood up abruptly. What was this all about? And without even a reason.

"You can do it, right, Secretary Qingguo?"

Qi Tongwei leaned slightly forward, like a tiger about to hunt.

"certainly!"

Qing Guo's expression changed several times before he finally said with a forced smile, "Director Qi and Secretary Qin came down with special missions, and the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will fully cooperate with your requests."

"However, in some organizations, especially private companies, the person in charge may not be available."

"It's okay."

Qi Tongwei said nonchalantly, "As long as Secretary Qingguo extends an invitation, we will invite the guests."

Qing Guo's expression changed again.

Damn it!

Isn't this just using your own name to do things that offend people?

Some people will definitely fall because of this, but the vast majority will not. He has offended so many people, and he is not popular with business people to begin with. Can he still hold on to his position as class leader?

Qing Guo's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, his two bloodthirsty eyes fixed on him. Heh... if he didn't agree, he'd probably be finished right now.

There's nothing I can do!

We've run into some thugs.

"By the way, Secretary Qingguo, I'm not familiar with the cadres of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Today, I'll learn from you."

As Qingguo tried to convince himself,

Qi Tongwei spoke again, completely extinguishing his hope.
