In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

Although Qi Tongwei and the other two following behind Chen Luo did not know what had happened, they could tell from the seriousness on Secretary Chen's face that it was not a good thing.

Especially after Chen Luo asked Xu Zheng and the other person to follow, they were already analyzing the reasons in their minds.

Upon entering the police station, Officer Zhang, who was on duty, spotted Chen Luo.

Just as I was about to ask what they were doing there, I noticed the silver epaulets on Qi Tongwei and Zhao Donglai's shoulders.

He immediately stood up and saluted.

"Good morning, boss!"

Chen Luo nodded without saying anything more.

"Has your director arrived yet?"

"Our director..."

Officer Zhang hesitated for a moment.

Qi Tongwei quickly stepped forward and scolded, "Secretary Chen is asking you a question, what are you dawdling about!"

The young officer was clearly startled.

"Notify all police officers at Hongshan Police Station to report to the station within one hour!"

After Chen Luo finished speaking, Qi Tongwei directly instructed Zhao Donglai, who then looked at Cheng Du, who had been staring blankly.

As the saying goes, "a local official is more powerful than a distant one," and with just one phone call from Cheng Du, all the police officers from Hongshan Police Station arrived within about twenty minutes.

They stood in a row, thirteen people in total.

"You're the director?"

Chen Luo looked at the man in his fifties at the head of the line, his questioning tone calm yet carrying a deep sense of pressure.

"Boss, I am..."

Director Sheng Jie dared not raise his head and could only answer timidly.

"You know those two people, right? Here's your chance to explain what happened last night.

Don't pretend you know nothing. Some things, once done, will leave evidence!

Sheng Jie looked at Xu Zheng and Huang Wen. Even though he wished he could tear them to pieces, he knew he was completely doomed in this situation.

After all, even Director Zhao of the Municipal Bureau and Director Qi of the Provincial Department could only stand aside and accompany him, so it was obvious that the person in front of them who was asking the question was of an extremely high rank.

"Boss, I..."

Seeing that the director was still stubbornly refusing to admit his mistake, Chen Luo shook his head helplessly. He really wouldn't give up until he was completely convinced.

"You? You're a police officer!"

But what happened last night? The crackdown on pornography and illegal publications seems very proactive, but tell me, why were only the clients arrested? And why were they secretly making deals with them? Tell me, what's going on here?!

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei and his two companions understood the general situation. This kind of situation not only existed in Handong, but also in other provinces. Generally, local police officers would control a few prostitutes, provide protection for them, and occasionally arrest their clients. Those with money would be released after paying a bribe, while those without money would be treated as merits and dealt with according to the law.

Several people, several shares of the profits!

Moreover, the clients who were extorted afterward generally didn't dare to speak out. They just didn't expect that Chen Luo would catch them red-handed in such a subtle violation of rules and regulations.

Qi Tongwei thought about his conversation with Chen Luo yesterday, and about the various businesses of the Shanshui Group. Beads of sweat gradually seeped from his forehead. He had been thinking of notifying Gao Xiaoqin in a few days, to give her a transition period, but now it seemed...

Having his actions exposed, the director of Hongshan Police Station turned deathly pale.

He even collapsed to the ground...

"Director Qi, Director Zhao, I was wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei and Zhao Donglai really wanted to strangle him. Originally, Chen Luo's firepower wasn't directed at them, but after this, sure enough, Chen Luo turned his head and looked at Qi Tongwei and Zhao Donglai.

"Director Qi, Director Zhao, we must continue to strictly enforce discipline at the grassroots level of the public security system. I believe that such cases are not isolated incidents, and grassroots police officers often cause greater harm to the people!"

"One of you is the director of a provincial department, and the other is the director of a municipal bureau. Don't just sit in your offices all day; you need to come out and see the world, go down to the grassroots level."

"Yes, yes, Secretary Chen, your words are insightful. We will definitely implement them as soon as possible!"

"Alright, this is your responsibility to handle. Everything will be done in accordance with laws and regulations!"

After saying that, Chen Luo and his secretary left first, leaving behind a bewildered Huang Wen, a knowing Xu Zheng, and a gloomy Qi Tongwei.

On Friday, a meeting of the public security system was held.

Chen Luo attended the meeting again and used the case of Hongshan Police Station to clearly tell the provincial and municipal level cadres and county bureau chiefs that they would crack down hard on grassroots police officers who were lazy, negligent, or violated discipline and laws!

That very evening, Qi Tongwei took the lead in launching the operation.

Shanshui Manor.

Sitting in the luxurious private room, Qi Tongwei ignored Gao Xiaoqin beside him. After downing a glass of wine, he took out his phone and started dialing the numbers listed in the contact list.

"Hey, Second Uncle, there's something I need to tell you... Hey, Third Uncle, there are some things that have been going on lately..."

After making a dozen or so phone calls, Qi Tongwei was exhausted. He made these calls to tell his relatives that they could no longer stay in the public security system.

"Ugh!"

Leaning back on the sofa, Qi Tongwei sighed heavily.

Seeing this, Gao Xiaoqin's expression was complicated, but she quickly composed herself and asked softly, "Director, is the situation that serious now? Your relatives..."

Qi Tongwei nodded silently.

"Xiaoqin, how high do you think an official position has to be to be considered high-ranking?"

Secretary Chen is right. Some things, once you do them, will leave a trace. It's not that others don't know, it's just a matter of when they need to.

There's something I also need to tell you.

"Yes, Director, please go ahead."

Gao Xiaoqin had a bad feeling, and sure enough!

"Xiaoqin, please remove all the illegal items from the manor recently."

"ah?!"

Gao Xiaoqin was visibly shocked.

"Director, is it really necessary? Isn't it enough that you're keeping an eye on things?"

Moreover... I don't have the authority to decide this matter either. If Young Master Zhao disagrees...

Upon hearing this explanation, Qi Tongwei gave Gao Xiaoqin a deep look, then chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I almost forgot, you listen to Zhao Ruilong..."

After saying that, Qi Tongwei took out his phone and dialed Zhao Ruilong's number directly.

"Hey, Director Qi, it's only been a short time, why are you calling me again so late at night? What's up this time?"

Upon hearing Zhao Ruilong's voice, Qi Tongwei calmly said, "Ruilong, some of the group's color projects need to be stopped now."

"What?! That's impossible!"

Zhao Ruilong refused without even thinking.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the color project alone earns tens of millions a year. Without this project to attract people, who among those businessmen and officials would be willing to simply consume?

Taking a deep breath, Qi Tongwei explained, "This isn't what I meant; these are Secretary Chen's exact words!"

"Secretary Chen? The newly appointed Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission?"

It's him again. If it weren't for him last time, Ding Yizhen would have already slipped out of the country. And now he's back again?

"Handong cannot tolerate such an awesome person!"

As Qi Tongwei listened to Zhao Ruilong's outburst, he was already inwardly criticizing it as nothing more than impotent rage.

Sure enough, after a long pause, Zhao Ruilong calmly said, "Director Qi, is there really no room for compromise?"

"Secretary Chen's attitude is very firm!"

"Okay, I understand..."
