"Bullshit! How did Yue Yuqing and Ji Xiaoqing both die? One drowned herself, and the other committed suicide. Is Lin Ying out of her mind? She's talking complete nonsense!" Ma Guoliang shouted angrily.

"Yes, Brother Ma, I think Lin Ying is going too far. The Gao Lan case already had a conclusion, but she insisted on doing this. Isn't she going against our county bureau and against you? She's clearly disrespecting you. She's being incredibly audacious." Upon hearing this, Liu Yixiong was overjoyed and quickly began to fan the flames.

"Why didn't you get to the bottom of Gao Lan's case? Now she's uncovered so many problems. Lao Liu, you haven't done your job properly. If this continues, we'll be in a very passive position." Ma Guoliang looked at Liu Yixiong, who immediately felt a chill and knew he was in trouble.

"The secretary is right. I'll go back and convene a meeting immediately to arrange for people to investigate Gao Lan's case again. We absolutely cannot let Lin Ying distort the truth." He understood perfectly what Ma Guoliang wanted him to do.

"Forget it, let's not get entangled in Gao Lan's case anymore. The most urgent thing is to find Wang Dahu immediately. Also, there's something else I wanted to talk to you about." Ma Guoliang paused slightly, his eyes flickering.

Liu Yixiong quickly looked at Ma Guoliang with utmost respect and a serious expression.

"Sun Youcai has disappeared. I suspect he's absconded with the money." Upon hearing this, Liu Yixiong was startled and quickly looked at Ma Guoliang, his face filled with shock: "Secretary, how could this be? He's always..." Everyone knew that Sun Youcai was Ma Guoliang's man, and that he was the secretary's purse. Had he run away?

"Don't listen to the nonsense outside, like he's my money bag. He's just the head of the county finance bureau. This time he absconded with more than two million yuan from the county's finances and disappeared. I only informed Zhao Yuma about this. You're the second person to know."

Liu Yixiong nodded vigorously. This was trust. If the secretary hadn't trusted him, how could he have told him such important information?

"I need you to immediately begin tracking and arresting Sun Youcai. As long as you find him, everything is negotiable. If you can't find him..." Ma Guoliang's aura suddenly changed, and a chilling killing intent burst forth from his eyes.

Liu Yixiong's heart tightened. He knew that Sun Youcai had been in charge of the financial work of Gaoshan County for quite some time and must know a lot of things.

"Secretary, don't worry, I will definitely find that guy Sun Youcai. He won't get away." Finding a few people is not difficult. He knows all too well what kind of person Sun Youcai is.

"Remember, try not to alert them. Investigate secretly. As long as you find the person, I will give you a great reward." Sun Youcai is no longer a viable option, but he must find this person.

"Okay, Secretary, I'll arrange it right away. As for Lü Dayong's matter, should we go to Lin Ying again...?" Liu Yixiong was very afraid that Lü Dayong would not be able to withstand Lin Ying's interrogation, so such a person should not stay in Lin Ying's hands for too long. He was not like Li Jianmin, whose mind was too simple.

"Don't worry about Lü Dayong's matter, I'll handle it. Also, I'll arrange for someone to talk to Lin Ying about Li Jianmin. I want to see if she still has the guts without the support from above." So what if it's the support of Meng Jianguo from the Provincial Public Security Bureau? If the provincial bureau doesn't support her? He wants to see how long Lin Ying can remain arrogant without the provincial bureau's approval!

Liu Yixiong was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. It seemed that Brother Ma was really angry, and Lin Ying was going to be in trouble.

Just as Liu Yixiong was leaving Ma Guoliang's office in high spirits, Wang Yuanming suddenly walked in: "Secretary, something terrible has happened."

"What's wrong now? What's the panic?" Ma Guoliang glanced at the other person, his eyes seemingly calm, but in reality, he was very nervous. During this period, he could clearly feel that Lin Ying's actions had accelerated a lot, and even people from the Provincial Armed Police Corps had come down. It seemed that the real crackdown on organized crime was about to begin. This storm was bound to be unprecedented. No, he had to go see his elder brother and find out what was going on. Otherwise, if something serious happened, his position would definitely be in jeopardy. There was also the family member of the victim in the 530 case. What was her name again? I think her surname was Cui. Yes, her name was Cui Tingting. He had to find that woman and get her out of Gaoshan as soon as possible.

"Here's the thing, we received a notice from the city asking us to send someone to a meeting. It's said to be a special event at the provincial level, but they didn't specify what kind of meeting it was."

"The city called for a meeting? Who notified us? What exactly is it about?" Ma Guoliang asked absentmindedly.

"It was Liu Dongyang, the director of the municipal government office, who notified us, but he didn't say anything. I'm also very curious. I guess it might be..." He glanced at Ma Guoliang subconsciously and slowly uttered two words: "Anti-gang campaign."

Ma Guoliang's body stiffened, and he jumped to his feet, looking at Wang Yuanming with a sudden jolt: "An anti-gang campaign? Who told you that?"

"I inquired around to find out who was attending the meeting and which department was hosting it. I heard that the meeting was hosted by Vice Mayor Zhong Tianlin."

"It's him." Ma Guoliang frowned and pursed his lips slightly. This person was not easy to deal with. He was also the one who had publicly insulted him, Ma Guoliang. He was the deputy mayor and director of the Public Security Bureau of Haizhu City. It was said that he was the most likely to be promoted. But, he was presiding over the meeting. Could it be about cracking down on organized crime?

Zhong Tianlin is in charge of the public security system, but shouldn't such an important event be presided over by his elder brother, since he's the real head of the household? Ma Guoliang was somewhat confused; what exactly were the provincial and municipal governments up to?

"Alright, I got it. Go and find out what the topic is, and whether anyone has been notified to attend the meeting."


Wang Yuanming's words startled Ma Guoliang, his heart sinking. He and Lin Ying were going? It seemed it really might be an anti-gang meeting. Thinking of this, his heart pounded with anxiety. Anti-gang operations—this was a major undertaking every year, and every crackdown on organized crime had resulted in heavy losses, especially since Gao Shan's crackdowns had always caused him significant financial damage. No, he had to find out the truth and prepare accordingly. Going to his elder brother now should still be possible.

Thinking of this, he quickly picked up his phone and dialed: "Hey, bro, are you busy?"

"Hmm, a little. Are you trying to ask about the meeting?" The person on the phone sounded somber, clearly not in a good mood either.

"Yes, brother, what exactly is it?" Ma Guoliang's heart was in his throat.
