Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Qingjiang Sand Quarry was once the largest sand quarry in Gaoshan County. However, it was shut down for various reasons after the May 530th Massacre. Ma Guoliang did not expect Lin Ying to ask him to meet here. He felt a little uneasy. Too many things had happened in Gaoshan County recently.

Just as Lin Ying's car drove off the winding mountain road and sped towards Qingjiang Sand Field, her phone suddenly rang: "Boss, Li Shuwen is willing to confess, saying he only wants to talk to you in person." Yuan Xiong's urgent voice came from the other end of the line. If Li Shuwen was willing to confess, then things would be much easier. Gao Lan's case would likely come to light, and the mastermind behind it should also surface.

"Wait for me to get back." Lin Ying hung up the phone, secretly pleased. After all, Li Jianmin had already confessed part of the story. If Li Shuwen added more, their combined information should form a complete chain of evidence. However, she wondered if Li Shuwen would try anything funny; that guy was too cunning.

Qingjiang Village, Qingjiang Road. Ma Guoliang's car slowly drove towards the Qingjiang Sand Quarry. For some reason, his eyelids kept twitching, and he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. He looked up at the familiar village outside the car window, the somewhat dilapidated village. He used to know this village very well. Back then, he personally stayed here to control the sand and sift sand. Later, he became a cadre in the county. Then, the sand quarry was occupied by the Wang Dalong brothers. Then, the May 530th tragedy occurred, killing dozens of people. That mudslide destroyed half of the village and the Qingjiang Sand Quarry.

"Secretary, we're almost there." Zhao Sanbao's voice rang out. Ma Guoliang was startled and quickly looked up. In front of him was the sign for Qingjiang Sand Field, which had become mottled and difficult to recognize due to years of disrepair.

There seemed to be bloodstains still clinging to the signboard. Ma Guoliang's heart skipped a beat. The horrific deaths of the thirty-odd people swept away by the mud and sand were still vivid in his mind. The cries, howls, and heart-wrenching screams of the victims' families seemed to echo in his ears again. Ma Guoliang felt a sudden panic, his breathing became rapid, and his face turned deathly pale.

Realizing something was wrong with him, Zhao Sanbao quickly asked, "Secretary Ma, are you alright?"

Ma Guoliang was startled again, then came to his senses. He turned his head and glanced at the rusty words "Qingjiang Battlefield," his eyes flashing with a cold light. What did Lin Ying mean? Why had she invited him here? What did she want?

"We're here, Secretary. Shall we go in?" Zhao Sanbao hesitated for a moment. He could tell that Ma Guoliang didn't really like this place.

"Go in? Why don't you go in?" Since Lin Ying dared to invite him here, why wouldn't he dare to go in?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sanbao slowly drove the car to the entrance of the sand pit. The two rusty iron gates were ajar. He quickly got out of the car, opened the gates, and then slowly drove the car inside.

Ma Guoliang's face remained gloomy, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He both loved and hated this place. If it weren't for the Wang Dalong brothers causing dozens of deaths here, perhaps he could have achieved something here. Humph, that idiot Wang Dalong, all he knows is to act recklessly. Now, people are starting to pay attention to the 530 case again, and something bad is bound to happen sooner or later.

Right, what about the matter I asked Liu Yixiong to handle? Why hasn't that old bastard replied yet? Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and dialed: "Yixiong, where are you?"

"Brother Ma, I just finished talking with Chen Zhengyang." Liu Yixiong's voice sounded somewhat excited.

"Oh, how did it go? Did he agree?" Ma Guoliang didn't want anyone to mention the May 530th massacre right now, because the nature of that case was even more horrific than the Gao Lan case. It was a tragedy that people could never forget, and if it were to be investigated in depth, it would probably drag the entire Gaoshan County into the mess.

"It's like this kid suddenly changed his ways. He said he'd do anything as long as we help him get back into the criminal investigation team."

"Oh, did he reveal the whereabouts of that girl surnamed Cui?" Ma Guoliang wasn't stupid. If Liu Yixiong wanted to lie to him about this matter, Ma Guoliang would show him what it meant to be a three-eyed tyrant.

"No, it seems he really doesn't know." Liu Yixiong could only tell the truth, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

"Hmph, do you even believe that yourself? Huh? Old Liu, I'm not trying to be mean, but we're all getting on in years, we can't let a young punk fool us. Send someone to keep an eye on him. No matter what, we have to find that girl you mentioned surnamed Cui. Remember, Chen Zhengyang can go back to the criminal investigation team. Didn't you say Lin Ying wanted him to come back? Then just go along with it and do her a favor, understand?"

Liu Yixiong was taken aback, then suddenly realized something and quickly nodded: "Understood, Brother Ma."

Just as Liu Yixiong hung up, Ma Guoliang's phone rang again. He picked it up, glanced at it, and was momentarily stunned. He quickly pressed the answer button: "Secretary Chang, what brings you here..." Before he could finish, the other party immediately interrupted him: "Old Ma, have you offended someone in the province?"

"Huh? No, what's wrong?" Ma Guoliang was a little confused. Could it be that something happened again? His heart suddenly tightened.

"Are you sure?" The other person's voice was tinged with doubt.

"No, during this period, the entire Gaoshan County has kept a very low profile. As you know, there are some misunderstandings about Gaoshan from the provincial and municipal levels. Therefore, we have been working hard to change ourselves and change everyone's impression and perception of Gaoshan." Having served as the secretary for so many years, Ma Guoliang certainly understands when to express his stance.

"Old Ma, let me be blunt. Think about it carefully. You really haven't offended Director Meng of the Provincial Public Security Bureau?"

The other party's words startled Ma Guoliang, who quickly replied, "No, no, absolutely not, Secretary Chang. Even if we had a hundred lives, we wouldn't dare offend the provincial leaders, let alone Director Meng, who holds so much power."

"That's strange!" Secretary Chang was even more suspicious. Could it be that he had guessed wrong? No, who is Meng Jianguo? Even Governor Lu would give him some respect. He is in charge of the public security system of Donghai Province.

"Secretary Chang, has something happened again?" Ma Guoliang asked cautiously, his heart suddenly leaping into his throat.

The other person didn't speak, paused for a few seconds, seemingly hesitating whether to tell Ma Guoliang the truth. After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke: "Old Ma, your Gaoshan area may be in big trouble this time. I just came back from a meeting in the province. The Provincial Public Security Department will soon launch a targeted operation, and your Gaoshan area is a key area."

"What?" Ma Guoliang's head buzzed. A targeted operation? Targeting whom? Gaoshan County? Or him, Ma Guoliang?
