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

The news that Qin Chuan had arrested two more police station chiefs immediately reached Jia Tianming's ears.

Gao Zhiyuan couldn't sit still any longer.

If this investigation continues, probably only a few of the dozen or so police chiefs in Ping'an County will remain.

"Director Jia, things are getting worse in Qin Chuan... I'm afraid things are escalating."

"He just sent Chen Guo out and arrested two more police chiefs. The people from the Criminal Investigation Brigade and the people from the Chengbei Police Station almost got into a conflict."

"Do you think... it's stable?"

Jia Tianming knew about this even earlier than Gao Zhiyuan.

Even before Chen Guobiao set off and began making arrests, he knew that Qingchun was going to target these two directors.

"How can things be stable? The two police chiefs of Chengbei Police Station and Changchun Town Police Station were both implicated by Zhang Long. One received 20 yuan, and the other received 10 yuan."

Jia Tianming knew these guys had made a lot of money down there, but to make tens or hundreds of thousands at once...

When it comes to adjustments, they only give themselves a small amount of resources. What does that mean?

"Yes, yes, the director is right, but our county bureau only has a dozen or so directors. Three of them have been arrested at once. I'm mainly worried that it will have a bad impact."

Jia Tianming glanced at the other person.

That bullshit has a bad influence.

Zhang Guijun is your wife's cousin, do you think you don't know that?

"Alright, you should call Qin Chuan and tell him to leave it at that. Three directors are enough for him to have a big credit record."

"The matter concerning the directors should be left to the county discipline inspection commission."

"We need to investigate whether the facts are true. If it's really as the criminal investigation team found, that they embezzled so much money, then we should do whatever we need to do."

Jia Tianming paused, leaned back in his chair, and took out a cigarette.

Gao Zhiyuan stepped forward and lit it. He knew that doing what needed to be done was not important; what mattered was what followed.

"but……"

Sure enough, there's a but.

"But if there is no evidence, or the amount involved is not that large, we can discuss it and give them some punishment, at most... a demotion."

Gao Zhiyuan understood immediately.

The key factor is the amount.

As for the amount, that's up to your own understanding.

Qin Chuan soon received a second call from Gao Zhiyuan.

Those who were apprehended were naturally handed over to the county bureau's discipline inspection commission.

Qin Chuan didn't care how things were handled over there.

It's simply a matter of giving Jia Tianming a little more foam.

Compared to the three directors, Qin Chuan is now more interested in the big scoop Zhang Long had mentioned.

"I have evidence that Li Yuanguang committed murder!"

Li Yuanguang?!

In the interrogation room, Qin Chuan left only Dong Houde behind.

"Zhang Long, do you know what you're saying?"

Who is Li Yuanguang? Qin Chuan is of course Qin Chu.

Li Longfei of Donglin Company has a son and a daughter.

My son is now in Ping'an County taking over the business of Donglin Company, and my daughter is studying abroad and is not in China most of the year.

His son was named Li Yuanguang.

Zhang Long nodded vigorously: "Of course I know! Li Yuanguang is Li Longfei's son, and the deputy general manager of Donglin Company!"

"Director Qin, in Ping'an County, Donglin Company is the biggest mafia. I'm just a small fry at best!"

Snapped!

Qin Chuan slapped the table.

"Zhang Long! Donglin Company is a major taxpayer in Ping'an County, and Li Longfei is a well-known entrepreneur in Ping'an County!"

"They're saying Li Longfei's Donglin Company is part of the mafia?"

Do you know how much Donglin Company donates to charity in Ping'an County every year?

"Do you know how many primary schools Li Longfei's Dongying company has built in Ping'an County?"

Do you know how many impoverished students Li Longfei has sponsored?

"You're now saying Donglin Company is a criminal organization? And that his son committed murder? Are you desperate for a reward?"

Zhang Long was taken aback by Qin Chuan's attitude and a series of questions.

But Zhang Long then began to defend himself.

"Director Qin! I'm telling the truth!"

"You've only been in Ping'an County for a short time. You're from out of town, so you have no idea that the biggest organized crime group in Ping'an County is the Power Company. They say one thing and we don't say another!"

"As for what you said, those are just smokescreens created by Gongdonglin Company to cover up its crimes."

“You’ve all been fooled by them. I’m telling you, the thing about Li Yuanguang killing people is related to a female college student they sponsored.”

"Really, I'm in this situation now, and all I can do is atone for my sins. I won't lie to you."

You must believe me!

Qin Chuan pretended to look at Dong Houde, then turned to Zhang Long: "Alright, since that's the case, tell me everything you know, but I'm warning you, if you tell even one lie..."

"Don't worry, don't worry! I'm telling the truth!"

"It happened a year ago..."

Zhang Long spoke about Donglin Company for over an hour.

"The entire underground world of Ping'an County is actually controlled by Donglin Company. We few are just superficially getting a share of the profits. All the benefits are allocated by them, and we can only carry them out."

The information provided by Zhang Long is indeed very important.

Qin Chuan has been in Ping'an County for two weeks now, and he has been openly and secretly having Zhang Jun investigate the criminal activities of Donglin Company.

However, half a month has passed and there has been no progress.

Qin Chuan originally thought that Donglin Company's criminal methods were very simple and secretive.

On the surface, Donglin Company does indeed have legitimate business.

But in reality, he secretly controlled all the shady businesses in Ping'an County.

Zhang Long and his ilk are merely proxies they've put forward to protect themselves!
