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

Chen Luo wasn't surprised to receive Lu Yike's call.

"Speak, Comrade Yike, I'm listening."

"Yes, Secretary Chen. I am currently in Liuxiang Town, Huangping County, Lincheng City. There is a large illegal coal mine in this town that restricts the freedom of its workers and forces them to work. They commit financial fraud, evade taxes, collude with local officials, and even secretly dispose of the bodies of dead workers. We have now collected all the evidence."

These are only preliminary findings.

Chen Luo frowned as he listened.

He knew that Lincheng, a mining city, was definitely hiding a lot of shady dealings. After all, if Li Dakang were the Party Secretary, he would only care about GDP and wouldn't care about the problems at the grassroots level.

However, judging from the situation reported by Lu Yike, it is more serious than imagined.

"Who are involved?"

"So far, the director of the Huangping County Public Security Bureau and the deputy director of the Lincheng City Public Security Bureau have appeared, but the others have not yet shown up."

"I understand, Comrade Yike. Go ahead and investigate with confidence. I'll give you unconditional support no matter who you find out about!"

"Thank you, Secretary Chen!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yike continued to wait at the scene for the military district's support vehicles.

However, some people are just too audacious.

Less than ten minutes after speaking with Chen Luo, a group of police officers arrived at the entrance of the mine. A dozen or so police officers, along with some burly men, totaling about thirty people, blocked the entrance.

They were all carrying weapons.

Seeing this, Lu Yi and a group of armed police officers stepped forward!

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

Lu Yike's voice was loud, and the leader was a middle-aged police officer with two bars and two stars.

"I am the director of Liuxiang Town Police Station. I received a report that someone has trespassed into the coal mine. Please cooperate with the investigation!"

Although he had spoken, the station chief clearly lacked confidence. There was nothing he could do; there were dozens of armed police officers on the other side. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Biao had powerful figures backing him in the county and city, he really wouldn't want to get involved in this mess.

Lu Yike didn't waste any words and directly showed her identification to the director.

"Director of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Inspection Office? Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Provincial Joint Investigation Team?"

The director was observing very carefully, and that's precisely why sweat started pouring down his forehead...

Just as the director was about to flee, more than a dozen black SUVs arrived, and dozens of people got out, all carrying weapons. The leader was a burly man covered in tattoos, bald and strong, with a large gold chain across his chest, wearing sunglasses, and walking with a swagger.

As soon as he arrived, the group of police officers and other burly men bowed and greeted him, "Brother Biao!"

This person is Wang Biao!

Before the station chief could dissuade him, Wang Biao went directly to Lu Yike, looked at the dozens of armed police officers, and then frowned.

"No wonder you're not afraid of me, it turns out you have armed police protecting you."

Wang Biao showed no fear whatsoever.

"I'm giving you one minute to leave with these armed police officers right now. We'll keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lu Yike narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Trying to assault a police officer? You can try!"

"Damn it! You're asking for it! Brothers, let's go! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, nearly a hundred men rushed forward with their weapons. The armed police were equally fearless, swinging their batons as they clashed together.

The scene was extremely eerie. Just then, gunshots rang out, and one by one, the thugs in the field fell to the ground clutching their legs.

The fact that the armed police weren't carrying guns doesn't mean the investigation team wasn't! Each investigation team was equipped with three pistols. As soon as the gunshots rang out, the situation instantly reversed. The arrogant thugs who were just moments before were now obediently squatting or lying on the ground, letting the barrage of batons fall on their bodies.

Wang Biao suffered the most. The more arrogant he was just moments before, the more miserable he became. All his teeth were knocked out, he was spitting out blood, and he was shot twice in the legs.

"Hands behind your head, everyone squat down!"

Company Commander Lin roared.

He originally thought there wouldn't be any trouble leading the support team, so he only brought some batons and riot shields. But these local thugs really dared to cause trouble. If the investigation team hadn't been armed and hadn't dared to fire directly, even if the dozens of armed police officers could have dealt with these thugs, they would have been injured.

This undoubtedly made Company Commander Lin feel ashamed, so after the gunshots rang out and these thugs squatted down, he didn't immediately call for a stop, but instead lashed out with his stick a few times to vent his anger.

Time passed little by little...

Soon, ambulances, police cars, and buses sent by the military district arrived one after another.

Those arrested were arrested, and those sent to the hospital were sent. Wang Biao, in particular, has been taken directly to the military region for treatment and no one is allowed to approach him.

On almost the same day, the other six investigation teams, with the cooperation of the local armed police and public security organs, wiped out the criminal gangs they had investigated.

After a full day of intensive interrogation, Wang Biao confessed.

The biggest protectors behind them are the deputy mayor of Lincheng City, the deputy director of the Lincheng City Public Security Bureau, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, and the deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. These individuals basically control the entire illegal coal mining industry in Lincheng City.

The arrest is underway...

A few days later, when the final results were placed on Chen Luo's desk, Chen Luo patiently read through the case file.

He then called Minister Yang of the Publicity Department.

The goal was simple: to get the TV station and the official website to cooperate in the publicity. Minister Yang naturally made the arrangements quickly.

It aired at 8:00 PM on Handong TV during prime time; it was definitely a documentary.

It was also broadcast on the official website, and for a time, the people of Handong were full of praise.

Especially towards the end, they left a tip-off hotline so people could report leads directly to the investigation team!

The online buzz surrounding Lu Yike is high, and discussions about her are also surging.

At Chen Yanshi's home, after his family saw Lu Yike's heroic and dashing demeanor on television, Chen Hai's desire grew stronger and stronger.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Hai took out his phone in his room, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed the number.

"Yes, that works too!"

Lu Yike frowned unconsciously upon hearing Chen Hai's voice, which was gentler than usual.

"Is something the matter, Chen Hai?"

Regarding Chen Hai, although Lu Yike was busy with the investigation team's work, her mother, Judge Wu, would occasionally call her and mention some things. Lu Yike knew that Chen Hai had been dismissed for privately investigating Ouyang Qing.

"Oh, fine, this isn't about calling to congratulate you after seeing your name on TV!"

You have no idea how lively the online discussions are about you right now. Everyone's saying you're upright and a good official.

Lu Yike was taken aback.

"I'm just doing my job."

"Haha, Yi Ke, you're being hurtful with your words. It's just normal work. You have no idea how many people envy you now. With the achievements you've made, you'll definitely get priority for promotion in the future!"

"If I had known that going to the grassroots level was this good, I should have applied to go with you."

Hearing this, Lu Yike felt inexplicably angry.

What does it mean to "go down to the grassroots level"? What does it mean to be given priority in promotion?

The Chen Hai she remembered was not one to care about such achievements and would make sarcastic remarks!
