The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.
Longcheng, Zhannan District, Fenghe Trading Company. This is the property of the old Changqing Company. After the establishment of Huatonghui, it has been managed by Lufeng.
At 8:30 in the morning, the company was sealed off by the Bureau of General Affairs just after it opened. The top leaders of the company, including the middle-level cadres, were all taken away on the spot and escorted to the Bureau of General Affairs.
After a few swipes, the company's door was sealed, and some people gathered on both sides, watching and talking.
…
In the Bureau of General Affairs, Brother Qiu was sitting in an interrogation room, looking across at a middle-aged man who was a bit overweight.
The man was the head of Fenghe Company. He was sweating and shivering at the moment, and he was somewhat afraid to look Brother Qiu in the eye.
Brother Qiu smoked a cigarette, looked him over, and asked, "How many more people are there?"
The man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said nothing.
"Call your superiors." Brother Qiu said slowly, "If you help us catch one, your crime will be mitigated a little. If you catch two, you will get double the credit. But if you can't catch any, you will bear all the responsibility."
The man trembled, and no longer insisted, he nodded and said, "I understand, I understand, I will contact him now."
After saying that, Brother Qiu turned to the interrogator next to him and said, "Keep an eye on him."
After saying this, Brother Qiu left the interrogation room.
The middle-aged man sat on the chair, took out his mobile phone tremblingly, thought for a long time, and called Lu Feng first.
As a result, the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
The middle-aged man's forehead was covered with sweat, which flowed down. After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and finally dialed a number.
The phone rang twice, and this time it was connected. A deep voice came from the other end: "Hello, Lao Yang?"
The middle-aged man wiped his sweat and said directly: "Come out quickly, don't let me carry it alone! If I can't get better, no one else will be able to get well!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a bang.
Immediately afterwards, at around ten o'clock that morning, Brother Qiu took away a dozen people directly from Changqing Company.
…
A little after eleven o'clock in the morning, Longcheng Police Headquarters.
Wang Daolin, wearing the uniform of a police chief, came to the police cafeteria. As usual, he ordered a very ordinary lunch, took it to a table and started eating.
Just at this moment, seven or eight people also in police uniforms came over.
The ranks of these people are not low, including the logistics director, the criminal investigation captain, and the newly promoted deputy director. They used to be members of the Northeast Gang of the Police Department. After Wang Daolin took advantage of the wind, the status of these people naturally rose and entered the core leadership of the Police Department.
Everyone held their plates and sat around Wang Daolin, all with complicated expressions.
The deputy director turned his head and looked at him, unable to help but say, "Director Wang, from last night till now, all the police officers in our four districts have been arrested. There are almost fifty or sixty high-ranking officials alone. There are countless people summoned from the periphery, there must be hundreds of people! Isn't this Gu Baishun making too much noise? What does he want to do?"
Wang Daolin glanced at him and said nothing.
The captain of the criminal investigation team next to him also whispered, "Director Wang, we can't let them investigate like this! We are Longcheng! This is a war-torn area! Who is so clean? Who can withstand such an investigation! If they continue like this, we will be in trouble!"
Another senior official could not help but nod and said, "Yes, my brother-in-law has been arrested! He didn't do anything, he just had a meal with the rebellious gang, and then he was taken away. I heard that after he was taken in, he was tortured before he was even interrogated! My wife cried to me all night last night, and I didn't sleep well either! Director Wang, you don't know, these bastards set up more than a hundred interrogation rooms, and they tortured people to death once they entered, nothing good happened!"
“Bang!”
While several people were talking, Wang Daolin, who had been eating with his head down, suddenly slammed his chopsticks on the table.
Everyone fell silent immediately and looked over hurriedly.
Wang Daolin frowned, looked at them and scolded them, "We are old brothers. Is this your first day in this business? Since Bai Hongbo's case, the whole rhythm has been in the police system. Later, there was a rebellion, and almost half of the six district police stations sided with the rebels and got involved. Now that the storm has passed, what's wrong with them punishing you?! Shouldn't they punish you? Each of you has failed to properly control the people below. It's good enough that you are not held jointly responsible, and you are still complaining here! And you, don't you know what your brother-in-law is like? You'd better be lucky that they don't implicate you as well!"
Hearing Wang Daolin getting angry, everyone lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Looking at these old brothers who have followed him for many years, Wang Daolin sighed and said in a much softer tone, "You don't have to think too much. You should reflect on the problem and stop making up rumors. Rectify the internal affairs and put your heart at ease. I have been in Lao Li's team for so many years. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. The higher-ups will still give me this little face."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise outside the door.
"What are you doing?"
"Who let you in?"
Several police officers got into an argument at the door.
"Move aside, the National Bureau of Investigation is investigating the case!"
Everyone turned their heads to look outside the door and saw the tall and strong Da Xiong, wearing a military uniform, rushing in with a dozen people. Several people from the Quantong Bureau took out their guns and pointed them at the police officer's head, forcing him to get out of the way.
When Wang Daolin saw this scene, he was a little confused.
Daxiong and his men walked over and said to the deputy director of the police station, "You... your name is Lin Fansheng, right? On behalf of the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, I am officially notifying you that you have been summoned. Get up and follow us."
After saying that, Big Bear named three or four more people and wanted to take them away.
The senior officers of the police department turned pale and looked at Wang Daolin for help.
Wang Daolin was also annoyed and couldn't help but ask loudly: "What are you going to do?"
Daxiong turned his head to look at Wang Daolin and explained, "I'm sorry, Director Wang, we are also following the regulations."
Wang Daolin looked at him with a flushed face and said, "Wait a moment, I'll talk to Gu Baishun."
Just as he took out his phone, Daxiong reached out and stopped him, saying seriously, "Director Wang, I think... you should not make this call. We have all moved the people from the Su family and the Coast Guard."
When Wang Daolin heard this, he was stunned and couldn't help but clench his fists.
…
Huatonghui, the association’s headquarters.
In the conference room, Zhang Taotao, along with more than 20 senior executives of the association, were preparing to hold a meeting to discuss the issue of issuing subsidies to the major guilds and associations under them.
“Bang!”
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Brother Qiu rushed in with a dozen people.
Everyone in the room was startled, and Zhang Taotao couldn't help but frowned: "What are you doing?"
Brother Qiu glanced at her and did not answer directly. Instead, he turned his head to look at the people in the room and said, "Now those whose names have been called are officially summoned by the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Come out with us!"
After that, he called out the names of more than a dozen people in a row. Seeing Qiu Ge and others who were fully armed, these people did not dare to resist, and they lowered their heads and stood up and walked outside.
In the blink of an eye, less than half of the senior executives were left in the room, and everyone on the scene was stunned.
Zhang Taotao hurriedly stood up, stopped in front of Brother Qiu and asked, "Do you have any evidence? Or do you have a formal summons?"
Brother Qiu then explained to her: "There are procedures, but it is inconvenient to disclose the specific information to you. Please move aside, I will take the person away first."
Zhang Taotao bit her lip, but finally moved away reluctantly.
…
At the same time, the garrison headquarters.
Because the situation on the battlefield was quite serious and Tan Hengqiang had just finished a combat meeting, he ordered the troops to continue retreating.
"Old An, wait a moment!"
After the meeting, Tan Hengqiang stopped An Zecheng who was about to leave and asked him directly, "Are your people following the people from the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to arrest people?"
An Zecheng nodded: "Yes, I will provide them with reinforcements."
Tan Hengqiang slammed the table hard and said in a stern voice, "What on earth is Gu Baishun trying to do? They have lured more than a dozen officers from the logistics department into a trap without even giving us a heads up! What does he mean? We are fighting in the front, and he is sabotaging us from behind? Internal audits, can you do that? Who will still work for you after all?"
