Just as Lin Ying was about to leave Aunt Yao's house, her phone suddenly rang: "Hey, Duan Fei, how's it going? Did they catch Wang Dahu?"

"No, that guy got away. He realized we were following him, so instead of taking the highway, he escaped via a side road. He probably went into the mountains."

"They've gone into the mountains?" Lin Ying's heart skipped a beat. The Wang brothers, Da Long and Da Hu, grew up in the mountains. If they've gone into the mountains, they'll probably be like fish swimming into the sea, and it won't be easy to find them.

"Keep searching, try to find him. If that doesn't work, ask Chen Zhiyuan and Wu Yuzhu to help. By the way, any news about Liu Yixiong?"

"No, but he shouldn't have left the mountains, there's no record of him leaving the country." Duan Fei's voice sounded a bit strange.

"Duan Fei, I know what you're planning. Once you and Di Meng find Wang Dahu, I'll let you go find Liu Yixiong. How about that?" Lin Ying knew that Duan Fei had been patient enough. Liu Yixiong was a knot in Duan Fei's heart, and perhaps only Duan Fei could find that old guy.

However, just as Lin Ying ended the call, her phone rang urgently again: "Hello, what's up?"

"Director Lin, something's happened. Something's happened to Li Jianmin's family." The call was from Chen Zhengyang.

"Something happened to Li Jianmin's family? What happened?" Lin Ying was puzzled. Why would something happen to Li Jianmin's family at this time?

"A murder has occurred in the Fulihua residential community. The victim is Pan Lihua, the wife of Li Jianmin. She was found with her throat slit."

"What?! Li Jianmin's wife is dead?!" Lin Ying exclaimed in shock. This was no good news. Li Jianmin's wife was dead? What a coincidence! Li Jianmin had just been arrested, and now his wife was in trouble?! Who could have done this?

"Send Team Two to the crime scene immediately. I'll be there shortly. Send someone to look for Pan Xiaobin."

"Huh, why would I look for him?" Chen Zhengyang was a little confused.

"Don't ask so many questions. Send someone to find him right away. I have a feeling that Pan Xiaobin might know something." Lin Ying's voice was also a little anxious. If Li Jianmin found out about this, something bad would definitely happen. At present, Li Jianmin is of great help to the case, and relatively speaking, he is also more cooperative.

"Understood, I'll send someone to look for her right away." After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying was somewhat lost in thought. How could Li Jianmin's wife have suddenly gotten into trouble? At this critical juncture, with the crackdown on organized crime about to begin, Li Jianmin's wife is dead?

Lin Ying felt increasingly uneasy. This was too much of a coincidence, especially since it happened at this particular time.

After Xu Pangzi returned with the information, Lin Ying, along with Aunt Yao, drove away from Yaojia Village.

In the largest household in Yaojia Village, Lou Zhu looked at the person sitting in the seat of honor in the living room and put on a fawning smile: "Uncle, the person has left, can we rest easy now?"

"Don't worry? You're mistaken. I've seen that woman. Do you know who she is? No, to be precise, I've seen her picture."

"Huh? You've seen her before?" Lou Zhu was startled.

"Yes, her name is Lin Ying. She is the newly appointed deputy secretary of the county party committee, acting county head, and director of the public security bureau. She is here specifically to deal with Tianlong Group and Wang Dalong."

"Really? Isn't that a good thing? It's beneficial for us!" Lou Zhu was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"You don't know anything! Good thing? What good is it for us? Do you think Wang Dalong and Tianlong Group are so easy to deal with? No matter how powerful that woman is, she can't possibly fight against Wang Dalong and Tianlong Group. Do you even know who's backing Tianlong Group?"

"Who?" Lou Zhu looked expectantly at the middle-aged man.

"It's Secretary Ma Guoliang, the Party Secretary of Gaoshan County." The middle-aged man had an air of pride on his face, as if he were Ma Guoliang himself.

"Really? My God! No wonder no one paid any attention to us no matter how much we complained. It turns out Secretary Ma was helping them. What should we do?"

"Easy, no problem!" The middle-aged man smiled mysteriously, revealing a knowing look. To him, whether it was Secretary Ma or County Chief Zhao, they only cared about one thing: if he had it, everything would be easy. He wasn't a three-year-old anymore; he didn't believe in any lofty ideals or the idea that all crows are black.

Lou Zhu didn't understand. He scratched his head and looked at the middle-aged man with a puzzled expression: "Uncle, what do you mean? Should we go or not?"

"You silly Zhu, of course you're going! Not only are you going, but you're also bringing a generous gift. At the very least, you have to let them feel our sincerity, understand?"

"But didn't you just say they were in cahoots with Wang Dalong?"

"You idiot, wouldn't it be more interesting to turn the enemy's allies into our allies?"

"But we're still with Tianlong Group. What if Wang Dalong finds out?" Lou Zhu was a little scared. Last time, Zhao Jiu escaped, and he thought Tianlong Group would come knocking on their door at any time. But they haven't come yet.

Therefore, he was constantly on edge.

"Don't worry, as long as we don't say anything, no one will know. You must remember, don't turn against Wang Dalong until the very last moment. Remember, we've always been people of Tianlong Group, and we're all Wang Dalong's people, understand?"

Lou Zhu's body jolted violently, and he nodded heavily: "Understood, Uncle."

"Great, go get your things. Let's go to Tianlong Group."

Ma Guoliang had just gotten into his car and was about to head to the city when his phone suddenly rang: "Hello, what's up?"

"Secretary Ma, something's happened! Li Jianmin's wife is dead!" Wang Yuanming's urgent voice came through the phone.

"Who died?" Ma Guoliang had been a little distracted and seemed not to have heard clearly.

"Li Jianmin's wife, the woman who had ties with Liu Yixiong, is dead. She was murdered in her own home."

"What?" Ma Guoliang's head buzzed loudly, his mind instantly in chaos. What happened? How could Li Jianmin's wife be dead at this critical moment? Who did it?

Could it be Liu Yixiong? Believe it or not, it's quite possible. Liu Yixiong just ran away last night; could he have gone looking for her? The affair between Liu Yixiong and Pan Liting wasn't known to just one person; it was the talk of the town throughout the entire police station a while back. Now, she's dead?!

A strange premonition swept through Ma Guoliang's mind. This matter was probably not so simple. If it really was Liu Yixiong who did it, then what was his motive?

Ma Guoliang didn't notice, but Zhao Sanbao in the driver's seat faintly heard the voice on the phone. His expression suddenly changed, and his eyes flashed with panic.

"Secretary, shall we go?" Zhao Sanbao asked, seemingly trying to hide something.

"Let's go to the city."

Zhao Sanbao quickly nodded, drove out of the county government compound, and headed towards Haizhu City.

Li Jianmin's wife died, which is not a good thing. The crackdown on organized crime is about to begin. How could she die out of nowhere?

Suddenly, Ma Guoliang thought of something, looked up at Zhao Sanbao, and a thought struck him...
