At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

After ending his call with Wang Kai, Lin Yi told Shen Chuchu to take a car home, while he hailed a taxi and headed home.

He needed to arrive at the entrance of the residential area early and resolve the issue there, so as to prevent Zhang Sheng and his gang of scoundrels from affecting his parents and causing them to worry about him.

Qinghe County is not a big town. It only took Lin Yi ten minutes to take a taxi from Qinghe Hotel to the entrance of his residential area.

The taxi stopped, but Lin Yi didn't get out. He said to the driver, "Sir, please stop here and keep the meter running. I'm waiting for someone."

"okay!"

The driver happily replied that waiting for passengers using the meter is much more comfortable than driving around picking up passengers.

Lin Yi turned his gaze to the window, waiting for the people from the county public security bureau to arrive.

It was past 8 p.m., and it was already dark. There were few people at the entrance of the residential area, so it was quite quiet. Occasionally, you could hear the sound of a train passing by on the railway near the residential area.

A few minutes later, the piercing sound of police sirens grew louder as eight police cars roared to the entrance of Huaxi Residential Area.

At the same time, Lin Yi's phone rang.

Lin Yi took out his phone and saw an unfamiliar number. He answered the call directly.

"Hello, Lin Ke, this is Lu Ming, the director of the Qinghe County Public Security Bureau. Secretary Wang just called me, saying that someone is going to attack you and asked me to bring men to Huaxi Residential Area immediately. I'm already at the entrance of Huaxi Residential Area with my men. Where are you?"

The call connected, and Lu Ming's voice came through the receiver.

"I'm in the taxi, wait for me to get out."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he hung up the phone, took out a hundred yuan, handed it to the driver, and said, "Sir, I'll go down and say hello to the police. You wait here for me. I'll be taking another ride later."

"it is good!"

The driver took the money and looked at the police cars with flashing lights, wondering to himself: Are they going to arrest criminals?

Lin Yi got out of the car and walked towards the lead Passat with police license plates.

"Hello, Lin Ke, this is Lu Ming."

Before Lin Yi could even approach the Passat, the door opened, and a slightly overweight middle-aged policeman got out and quickly approached Lin Yi.

Lin Yi grasped Lu Ming's hand: "Director Lu, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble!"

"Lin Ke, protecting the safety of the people is our duty as police officers. If anyone should be apologizing, it should be me. That a lawless criminal would dare to attack you in Qinghe is a dereliction of duty on the part of the Qinghe Public Security Bureau!"

Lu Ming first gave a self-criticism, then asked, "By the way, Lin Ke, where is the murderer?"

"The murderer is on his way."

"Please rest assured, Lin Ke, once the murderers arrive, I will definitely bring them to justice!"

Lu Ming made a solemn vow, while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

On the way here, he was worried that something might happen to Lin Yi or Lin Yi's family.

In that case, his term as police chief might be coming to an end!

Now that he heard the murderer hadn't arrived yet, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"Director Lu, the police emphasize evidence when handling cases; as the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must catch him red-handed."

Lin Yi reminded him.

Lu Ming was taken aback: "Lin Ke, what do you mean?"

"Park your police car at the corner of the road in front of the residential area and turn off the flashing lights."

Lin Yi turned around, pointed to the intersection not far ahead, and said, "In a moment, when the thugs arrive, I will lure them there, and you will arrest them!"

"Lin Ke, this is too dangerous for you!"

Lu Ming understood Lin Yi's meaning, but felt it was too risky. What if Lin Yi, the bait, went wrong?

"Don't worry, I'm very fast in the 100 meters."

Lin Yi smiled confidently, then patted Lu Ming on the shoulder before turning and walking toward the taxi.

Lu Ming hesitated, but ultimately said nothing. Instead, he returned to his car and followed Lin Yi's instructions.

However, as a precaution, he had three subordinates who hadn't had time to put on their police uniforms get out of the car and stay near the entrance of the residential area to ensure Lin Yi's safety.

Lin Yi returned to the taxi, waiting for Zhang Sheng to walk right into his trap.

Ten minutes later.

A Hummer with five 8s on its license plate and two buses arrived at the entrance of Huaxi Residential Area.

Zhang Sheng sat in the back seat of the Hummer, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his expression extremely gloomy, as if he wanted nothing more than to tear Lin Yi to pieces!

He was unaware that Lin Yi had previously joined the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation team and personally investigated the cases of Wu Zhiqiang and Ye Yunfeng. He only knew that Lin Yi worked in the municipal government office and was Xiao Yuan's secretary.

His brother-in-law, Gao Hu, is the local tyrant of Yunshan, and Gao Hu's brother, Gao Long, is the local tyrant of the entire Dongjiang region, with powerful figures from the province backing him up!

He even heard his brother-in-law Gao Hu say that Gao Long not only had connections in the province, but also in the capital, and could reach directly to the Heavenly Court!

Because of all this, he acted arrogantly and lawlessly in Qinghe, and didn't take Lin Yi seriously at all!

After the driver opened the back door of the car, Zhang Sheng threw the half-smoked cigarette out the window and got out of the car.

At the same time, dozens of burly men got off the two buses.

They were dressed in matching black shirts and trousers, carrying steel pipes, pickaxe handles, and machetes, exuding an imposing aura.

The people around them ran away in fright when they saw them.

The three police officers who were not in uniform changed their expressions drastically!

Firstly, none of them expected that there would be so many criminals.

Secondly, they all saw the iconic Hummer and recognized Zhang Sheng.

They were no strangers to Zhang Sheng!

In recent years, the public has repeatedly reported Zhang Sheng, and the Qinghe County Public Security Bureau has tried many times to bring Zhang Sheng to justice, but each time a leader from above would call, leaving the county public security bureau powerless to do anything about it!

"Everyone get into the compound! I'm going to skin that bastard alive today!"

Seeing that all his men had gotten off the bus, Zhang Sheng waved his hand, displaying the demeanor of a big brother.

next moment.

Before Zhang Sheng could lead his men into the Huaxi residential area, they entered.

Lin Yi stepped out of the taxi and said coldly, "Zhang Sheng, whose skin are you going to peel off?"

Startled by Lin Yi's words, the thugs who were about to follow Zhang Sheng into the residential area instinctively stopped in their tracks, staring at Lin Yi with astonishment, as if asking:

Who is this idiot?

How dare they address General Manager Zhang by his first name?

"You bastard, you're exactly the kind of person I've been looking for!"

Zhang Sheng also stopped, turned around and saw Lin Yi. He was stunned for a moment, then angrily said:

"That's him! Break his legs first!"

Whoops!

At Zhang Sheng's command, dozens of thugs, armed with weapons, rushed toward Lin Yi like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

Upon seeing this, the three police officers, who were not in uniform, instinctively reached for their waists, ready to draw their guns at any moment to stop the perpetrators from committing the crime.

Lin Yi quickly ran towards the intersection where Lu Ming and the others were!

As the main striker of Tsinghua University's football team, Lin Yi's 100-meter speed was over 11 seconds during his university years.

Even though he had graduated several years ago and was wearing leather shoes today, he was incredibly fast, darting far away in the blink of an eye.

This discovery secretly relieved the three plainclothes police officers.

"Damn it, stop right there!"

"Don't run away if you have the guts!"

"You son of a bitch, you can't escape!"

The thugs in black were quite taken aback by Lin Yi's speed. They chased after him while brandishing their weapons and shouting.

"You bastard, trying to run away? Stop him in front of me!"

Zhang Sheng sneered, quickly got into the car, and told the driver to start the car so he could block Lin Yi in front of him.

"Om!!"

The driver immediately floored the accelerator, and the Hummer roared toward Lin Yi like a crazed steel monster.

Lin Yi was fast, but he was no match for the four-wheeled Hummer.

Just as he was about to reach the intersection, the Hummer stopped in front of him.

"Lin Yi, you're pretty fast, aren't you? Keep going!"

Zhang Sheng jumped out of the Hummer and looked at Lin Yi with a mocking expression.

The feeling was as if he were the Buddha, and Lin Yi was like Sun Wukong in his eyes, unable to escape his palm no matter how much he struggled!

however--

As soon as Zhang Sheng finished speaking, the smile on his face froze!

"Woo-"

The piercing sound of police sirens suddenly cut through the sky, and eight police cars turned out from the intersection.

Then, eight police cars stopped almost simultaneously, and dozens of police officers, armed with their guns, jumped out of the vehicles.

"Don't move!"

"Drop your weapons, cover your heads, and crouch down!"

Lu Ming, the director of the Qinghe County Public Security Bureau, took the lead and shouted loudly.

what's the situation?

The thugs, who were about to rush behind Lin Yi, stopped in their tracks in shock when they saw the police car and the police officers!

Why are the police here?

Zhang Sheng was also quite shocked, then realized something and turned to look at Lin Yi: "You called the police?"

“Zhang Sheng, you organized people to carry weapons and attack me, which constitutes the crimes of intentional injury under Article 234, affray under Article 293, and organizing and leading a gang-like organization under Article 294 of the Criminal Law—you’ve gone too far!”

Ignoring the dozens of thugs behind him, Lin Yi publicly pronounced Zhang Sheng's crimes!
