The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Qin Chuan was surprised that the other party was so generous.

They were actually willing to spend 500,000.

Qin Chuan looked up at Gao Zhiyuan across from him.

The other person's eyes were calm, showing no sign of testing or probing.

So, should we take this money or not?

"Political Commissar, let's forget about the money. I only had a cut on my palm. Besides, I beat them up too."

Qin Chuan didn't even need to think about it deeply; he knew he couldn't take the money.

"Let them apologize, and that'll be the end of it."

Five hundred thousand...

Honestly, that's quite a lot, not just a lot, but a lot.

If they're giving so much money just because someone almost hit me, then Qin Chuan can only say that the people of Ping'an County are damn rich.

But coming from Gao Zhiyuan, this couldn't possibly have only one meaning.

The 50 yuan, besides the so-called consolation money or medical expenses paid by the other party who almost hit me last night, also means they wanted to be friends with me.

The fact that Gao Zhiyuan was the one to handle this matter indicates that the other party was aware of it.

The amount of money may not be important; what matters is whether or not one takes the money, which essentially provides Gao Zhiyuan with a basis for judgment.

If he took it, he would not only have to work for Zhang Long in the future, but he would also become one of Gao Zhiyuan's accomplices.

This is where the saying "going with the flow" comes from.

However, Qin Chuan chose to refuse.

When he came to Ping'an County to take up his post, he was tasked with dealing with Li Longfei.

Qin Chuan didn't want to offend Gao Zhiyuan or Jia Tianming, mainly because he didn't want them to cause him any trouble in this matter.

But that doesn't mean Qin Chuan should go along with them.

Of course, Qin Chuan could also pretend to accept the money and then hand it over to his superiors, such as the Xing'an City Public Security Bureau.

But secrets don't stay hidden forever. Qin Chuan believed that as long as he did this, Jia Tianming and Gao Zhiyuan would definitely find out.

However, if he doesn't hand over this money, even if Qin Chuan later claims that he was just pretending to flatter him, it won't be clear whether he's telling the truth or not.

Therefore, Qin Chuan chose to refuse.

You'll let me release Zhang Long, which means I don't want to be your enemy.

However, refusing the money indicates that Qin Chuan wants to distance himself from Gao Zhiyuan and others.

Gao Zhiyuan glanced at Qin Chuan, knowing that the other party was ultimately not on his side, and thus rejected his kindness.

"Okay, let's do it!"

Qin Chuan knew it was time for him to leave: "Thank you, Political Commissar. I'll take care of Zhang Long's matter as soon as I get back."

After Qin Chuan left, Gao Zhiyuan went to Jia Tianming's office.

"See? I told you so, didn't I?"

Jia Tianming had long anticipated that Qin Chuan would not accept the money.

Gao Zhiyuan nodded: "No wonder you can be the director while I can only be the political commissar. He really didn't take any money."

"Confiscation is a good thing."

Jia Tianming had his own plans.

Since they were not on the same path as him, Jia Tianming naturally felt no guilt when abandoning them.

"What about Zhang Long..."

Jia Tianming waved his hand: "He's just a nobody, it doesn't matter. If it weren't for Secretary Zhang's son having shares in his company, I wouldn't care whether he lives or dies..."

……

Criminal Investigation Division.

Upon returning, Qin Chuan immediately informed Dong Houde to release the man.

"Captain Qin, are you really going to release them?"

Dong Houde found Qin Chuan's decision somewhat strange.

Qin Chuan had never done anything like this back in Zhulin County.

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Of course we have to release them. Political Commissar Gao and Director Tianming have already given clear instructions. If I don't release them, wouldn't I be going against them?"

"But...Zhang Long's attempted rape..."

Qin Chuan waved his hand: "It's alright, just do as I say and release them first."

"Yes."

Although Dong Houde had doubts, he still carried out the order.

"Boss, you're the best!"

The third brother was bragging, and he knew everything was fine.

Zhang Long grinned. What business did they have in Ping'an County?

He's just a deputy director of a county public security bureau, and he really thinks he's something special.

Now what? He still has to obediently release himself.

However, Zhang Long received a phone call as soon as he left.

"You idiot! If you do something stupid again, I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish!"

Zhang Long hung up the phone hesitantly, glared at his underling, and then left.

A luxuriously decorated villa.

The young man hung up the phone, somewhat angry.

"Young Master Zhang, which idiot has angered you again?"

"If you ask me, who are you to keep such an idiot around?"

A woman's graceful figure inspires endless fantasies.

Young Master Zhang glanced at the woman's voluptuous figure, swallowed hard, but showed no disrespect: "Zhang Long may be a bit stupid, but he's quite adept at some dirty tricks."

"Sister Wang, I'd really appreciate your help with tomorrow's arrangements..."

Sister Wang smiled and moved her long, barely-there legs: "Don't worry, Young Master Zhang. Although the other party has a powerful background, he's very approachable. Just think of him as an elder you've met."

Zhang Zihao nodded. Compared to Zhang Long's business, what he was doing now was the real big deal.

What's the point of fighting and killing and having sex with a few women?

Money is all that matters.

To be rich, you must first have power!
