Just as Ma Guoliang got into the car, his phone suddenly rang urgently: "Hello, how's it going? Have you found him yet?"

"Found him, Brother Ma. He's in Haizhu City. He hasn't gone far, but it's a bit troublesome. It seems like he's being watched by the provincial police."

"What?" Ma Guoliang was startled and quickly turned his back. What was that bastard Sun Youcai doing in the city? And he was even being watched by people from the provincial department. What an idiot!

"Find a way to bring him here, I need to see him." Even if Sun Youcai really has a problem, he can't run away, otherwise, I, as the county party secretary, will bear a great responsibility. Moreover, if the county finance bureau chief runs away, I will definitely investigate.

"It's probably not possible now. We need to find an opportunity. That kid is very cunning. He keeps changing locations, and it took us a lot of effort to keep up with him."

"No, let's knock the person unconscious first and then bring them over." Ma Guoliang didn't care about anything else. Sun Youcai was the director of the county finance bureau. He didn't just have one or two books of accounts, but all the accounts of Gaoshan County over the years. He knew better than anyone how many of these accounts were clean. Therefore, Sun Youcai had to shut up.

"This is difficult, Brother Ma. You know, the people from the Provincial Public Security Bureau are not to be trifled with. Moreover, it seems that they knew Sun Youcai's whereabouts in advance and have been following him. But strangely, they haven't made a move to arrest him."

Ma Guoliang was shocked. The provincial department had been watching Sun Youcai but hadn't arrested him. Oh no, this was a sting operation!

"Don't move yet, observe the situation and wait for the right opportunity to act. If there isn't an opportunity, just keep an eye on the person and don't make a move." He broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, he had heard the whole thing. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. It seemed that the provincial department had been keeping an eye on Gaoshan County's finances for a long time. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to find Sun Youcai so quickly. They were trying to dig out a big fish from him. He absolutely couldn't become one of them.

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered, "Let's go." Zhao Sanbao quickly started the engine, shifted gears, and the car slowly drove out of the municipal party committee compound.

Standing by a window, the elder brother watched Ma Guoliang's car drive away. His lips twitched, but his heart was ice-cold. It was a wise choice for Ma Guoliang to come to see Chai Dapeng instead of him. Of course, they couldn't meet at this critical juncture. But did Ma Guoliang fully understand his meaning? He couldn't afford any mistakes. He wondered if Chai Dapeng could play his role.

Thinking of this, his heart sank slightly. He looked away and checked the time. There was still an hour left before his performance. He wondered how things went with Lin Ying's talk to Chai Dapeng, and whether that guy had suspended Lin Ying from her job.

Ideally, he could remove Lin Ying from power immediately so he could appoint someone else. However, Lin Ying was indeed sent down from the provincial department, which might be difficult. But the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission is in charge of the public security bureau. As long as Chai Dapeng knows how to use his power, he should know what to do.

In Chai Dapeng's office, he looked at Lin Ying, paused for a moment, and his face exuded an imposing aura without anger.

"Sit down," he said casually, and Lin Ying slowly sat down on the sofa.

"I heard you were sent down from the provincial department to investigate Gao Lan's case. Who exactly sent you?" Chai Dapeng didn't mince words and went straight to the point.

"It was Director Meng of the Provincial Public Security Department who recommended me, and Comrade Hua Yunfeng, the Provincial Party Secretary, who approved my appointment to serve as Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, Acting County Head, and Director of the Public Security Bureau in Gaoshan," Lin Ying said, neither humble nor arrogant.

Chai Dapeng was startled, his face changed, and he jumped up from his seat, his gaze towards Lin Ying filled with shock. The provincial public security director recommended him, and the provincial party secretary approved it? How could this be? Public security is public security, and Lin Ying, as the county public security bureau chief, doesn't even need the provincial party secretary's signature. What does this mean?

"Are you telling the truth?" Although Chai Dapeng was ambitious, he wasn't stupid. At this moment, he felt like he was being made a fool of. If what Lin Ying said was true, then that person was using him as a pawn, and a broken gun that could be discarded at any time. Was this person playing with him?

Lin Ying glanced at Chai Dapeng and said seriously, "Secretary Chai, I should report to you, but Director Meng of the Provincial Department instructed me to report directly to him. You can contact him with any questions. I will call him right now." Lin Ying didn't waste any words. She knew that Chai Dapeng had spoken very rudely on the phone that day, so nothing good was coming today.

Chai Dapeng wanted to stop her and ask Director Meng for confirmation later, but Lin Ying had already dialed the number. Soon, Meng Jianguo's voice came from the phone: "What's wrong, Lin Ying?"

"Director Meng, I'm with Secretary Chai in the city. He has some questions he'd like to verify with you." With that, Lin Ying handed her phone to Chai Dapeng, who quickly took it with both hands, a broad smile on his face: "Director Meng, hello!"

"Hmm, Chai Dapeng, what's up?" Meng Jianguo was the director of the provincial public security department, while Chai Dapeng was just a secretary of the municipal political and legal committee, so he was obviously no match for him.

"Uh, well, it's like this, regarding Comrade Lin Ying's appointment..." Chai Dapeng hesitated for a moment, wanting to ask about the appointment procedure for Lin Ying.

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Jianguo interrupted, "The Provincial Public Security Department recommended Lin Ying, and the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee approved her appointment as Deputy Secretary of the Gaoshan County Party Committee, Acting County Head, and Director of the Public Security Bureau. What, Secretary Chai, do you have any objections?" Meng Jianguo knew what was going on as soon as he heard this, so he didn't hold back at all.

Chai Dapeng trembled in fright and quickly shook his head: "Director Meng, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. Some comrades were just asking about the appointment procedure for Director Lin Ying."

"Let him come directly to me. Lin Ying will report directly to the provincial department. Your local area will unconditionally and fully support her work. If anyone is dissatisfied or has any questions, come to the provincial department. If all else fails, you can go directly to Secretary Hua. These are his exact words. Do you want him to explain this to you?"

If Chai Dapeng couldn't tell the difference, he'd be a fool. Meng Jianguo was clearly very unhappy; sweat was beading on his forehead. "No need, no need, Director Meng, I understand. Sorry to bother you!"

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Jianguo interrupted him: "Hand the phone to Lin Ying."

"Yes, yes, yes." Chai Dapeng quickly handed the phone to Lin Ying with both hands, sweating even more profusely. Damn it, now he was completely finished in front of Meng Jianguo. Qi Dingbang, you really ruined people's lives.

Lin Ying took the phone, and Meng Jianguo's voice softened considerably: "How are things going? Have you encountered a lot of obstacles lately?" Meng Jianguo knew that things in Gaoshan were not so easy.

"Yes, Director Meng, the topic of tomorrow's meeting may have been leaked, so some people in Gaoshan County are getting restless." Lin Ying knew, of course, that some people had already started transferring documents and assets, which must have been because they had heard the news.

"What? Someone leaked the information?"
