Official excuse: I was sent to work at the grassroots level for training, and Hou Liangping arrested

Lin Yunfei looked around, his expression extremely serious. He then looked at the police officers sitting in the conference room and said, "I ask you to remember this: do not reach out."

"You take the money from others, but you don't dare to spend it. You live in constant fear, knowing you might be discovered at any moment."

"You know, our police officers' salaries increase every year, although the increase is very small."

Lin Yunfei paused deliberately: "But, I can let you work until you're sixty. If you don't take anything for yourself, you only need to pay the down payment for a house, and you can use your housing provident fund for the rest."

"Look at those corrupt officials. Once they are caught, their families are ruined and they even have to return the ill-gotten gains and make restitution."

"What are you after? Why not live a peaceful life instead of taking risks?" Lin Yunfei said firmly, "Remember, integrity is our greatest asset."

"Let me tell you, I am not like Qi Tongwei."

"I never attend any banquets or social events, and I would never go to a high-end resort to play golf with beautiful women," Lin Yunfei said slowly, making a startling statement.

"He Yun, the executive deputy director of Lvteng City, has been arrested."

"After blood tests by the National Security Bureau and identification by technicians, it was confirmed that He Yun gave birth to a son for Gao Mingyuan, a gang leader, and named him Gao He."

Lin Yunfei slowly opened his mouth, uttering a startling statement: "Ten years ago, Gao He committed murder, faked his death to escape, underwent plastic surgery, changed his name, and took the name Sun Xing."

“Sun Xing not only escaped the law, but also continued to commit crimes. He Yun’s corrupt behavior is a disgrace to our Handong Public Security Bureau. We must take this as a warning, adhere to the bottom line of integrity, and never allow similar incidents to happen again.”

Lin Yunfei raised his voice and slammed his hand on the table: "Corruption not only ruins an individual's future, but also damages the image of the public security force."

"We must always be vigilant."

"This case, as a typical example of the Handong Public Security Bureau, serves as a warning."

Lin Yunfei's sharp eyes swept over every police officer present: "We must learn a profound lesson from this case. Every comrade must ask themselves whether they can uphold the bottom line of integrity and self-discipline."

"Everyone here is an elite member of the public security force, a vital force in maintaining social order and ensuring the peace and tranquility of the people. Our duty is sacred and must not be tarnished."

"He Yun's capture, Sun Xing's escape and recidivism are all vivid negative examples. They constantly remind us that once we relax our self-discipline, we may embark on a path of no return."

"We must always keep a clear head and be clear about our identity and responsibilities. We cannot ruin our future because of momentary greed, and we must not tarnish the reputation of the public security team."

"From now on, I hope everyone can be strictly self-disciplined and have a sense of awe, be cautious in speech, and restrain their actions."

"Only in this way can we live up to the police uniform we wear and the trust and expectations of the people."

As soon as Lin Yunfei finished speaking, he slowly opened the folder and took out a nomination document: "I now announce that Comrade An Xin is officially nominated to serve as the Director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. The public notice period is 14 days."

An Xin, dressed in the uniform of a second-level police inspector, quickly stood up. His full head of white hair was quite conspicuous: "Yes, sir. I promise to serve the people wholeheartedly with the utmost enthusiasm."

Everyone looked on with envy; they knew this was Lin Yunfei, a new broom sweeping clean.

. . . . .

After the meeting ended, Lin Yunfei made several phone calls to inform his two subordinates.

Deputy Director Liao, and Yan Guohua, Captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Provincial Public Security Department.

It's worth mentioning that Yan Guohua looks remarkably like a certain movie star from my past life.

"Director Lin."

"Director Lin."

"Please have a seat, both of you." Lin Yunfei opened a drawer and took out a secret file folder.

"Old Liao, Old Yan, take a look. This is what I found out about the Zhao family in Changwu through the National Security Bureau. They've committed all sorts of crimes over the years."

The file contained detailed information documenting the Zhao family's involvement in organized crime, operating underground casinos, and monopolizing the Changwu explosives market, among other crimes. Deputy Director Liao and Yan Guohua exchanged shocked glances.

Deputy Director Liao and Yan Guohua took the file folder, their expressions gradually becoming grave. They quickly flipped through the documents, growing increasingly alarmed as they read; the evil deeds of the Zhao family of Changwu far exceeded their imagination.

Yan Guohua frowned and said angrily, "This Zhao family is simply lawless. They have been controlling Changwu and committing all sorts of evil deeds for so long. We must bring them to justice as soon as possible."

Deputy Director Liao nodded in agreement: "That's right, the evidence for these crimes is conclusive. We can't let them continue to endanger society. Director Lin, what's our next step?"

Lin Yunfei's gaze was firm as he slowly said, "I want to form a secret task force, with Lao Liao as the leader and Lao Yan as the deputy leader."

"In order to thoroughly investigate all the crimes of the Zhao family in Changwu and bring them to justice, Lao Liao and Lao Yan, you two are both experienced and capable officers. I hope you will be in charge of the specific investigation work."

Deputy Director Liao and Yan Guohua exchanged a glance and replied without hesitation, "Director Lin, we will certainly live up to our mission and resolutely complete this task."

Lin Yunfei nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. This operation must be kept secret. No word of it can be leaked."

"The Zhao family has been operating in Changwu for many years, wielding considerable power and having numerous informants. They must have a protective umbrella. I no longer trust the public security, procuratorate, and judicial organs of Changwu City."

"Therefore, I hope to use police officers from other areas. We need to draw police officers from Jingzhou City."

"You must be careful. During the operation, pay attention to your own safety and make sure that the Zhao family gang is completely wiped out."

"We need to not only hold up umbrellas, but also break through nets."

Lin Yunfei then discussed the task force's initial action plan with the two in detail, including how to collect more evidence, how to monitor key figures in the Zhao family, and how to coordinate the efforts of all parties.

The three sat around the table, the atmosphere serious and tense.

"The Zhao family of Changwu has four sons."

“In Changwu City, the Zhao Xiaosheng family is all-powerful, and no one dares to oppose them. Therefore, there is a well-known rule in the local area: obey the Zhao family and you live, disobey the Zhao family and you die.”

"Zhao Xiaosheng has four sons: the eldest is Zhao Pengzhan, the second is Zhao Pengcheng, the third is Zhao Pengxiang, and the fourth is Zhao Pengchao."

"The Zhao family's Tieshi Mining Group has almost monopolized the mining market in Changwu City. Moreover, Tieshi Mining has laundered more than 10 billion yuan."

Lin Yunfei slowly opened his mouth, uttering a startling statement.

"Zhao Pengchao is studying law in Australia. According to the National Security Agency's investigation of the dark web, Zhao Pengchao has connections with many gangs around the world."

"Among them are ruthless members of the Mafia."

Lin Yunfei tapped the table lightly, his expression grave: "In the years that Zhao Pengchao has been in Australia, he has not only failed to restrain himself, but has also used his legal knowledge to launder the illegal gains of the Zhao family and even provided legal protection for international gangs. This is no longer a simple case of organized crime, but a transnational crime."

“What’s even more serious,” Lin Yunfei opened an encrypted document, “is that Zhao Pengxiang has been frequently traveling to Southeast Asia recently and has been in close contact with drug cartel groups in the Golden Triangle. We suspect that the Zhao family is building a black industrial chain that extends from mineral smuggling to drug trafficking.”

Yan Guohua suddenly stood up: "Director Lin, is this intelligence true? If it is, then the Zhao family of Changwu is no longer just a local gang, but a criminal group with international connections!"

Deputy Director Liao adjusted his glasses: "Based on the evidence we have so far, the Zhao family has laundered over 10 billion yuan through the Tieshi Mining Group. What's even more alarming is that they transferred assets overseas through charitable foundations, using extremely covert methods."

Lin Yunfei nodded: "That's why I set up this secret task force. The Zhao family has been operating in Changwu for thirty years and is deeply entrenched. We must strike decisively. Lao Liao, Lao Yan, you need to be prepared for a protracted battle."

"Don't worry, Director Lin," Yan Guohua clenched his fist, "We'll go back and formulate a detailed action plan to try to find out about the Zhao family's criminal network overseas as soon as possible."

Deputy Director Liao added, "At the same time, I will arrange for people to conduct a secret investigation into the Zhao family's affiliated companies in Jingzhou to prevent them from fleeing at the first sign of trouble."

Lin Yunfei stood up, walked to the window and looked into the distance: "Remember, this is not an ordinary anti-gang operation. We are facing a criminal empire that has been entrenched in the area for many years and uses ruthless methods."

"Yes, sir!" Deputy Director Liao and Yan Guohua stood at attention and saluted simultaneously. "We guarantee to complete the mission!"

Outside the window, dark clouds are gathering; a storm is imminent.

Boom!

A sudden downpour started outside the window.

The torrential rain lashed against the windows, making a crackling sound, as if it were the prelude to the impending battle.

Lin Yunfei stood by the window, his gaze deep and resolute. He seemed to see how clear the sky would become in Changwu after this storm.

"This rain has come at just the right time," Lin Yunfei said softly, his tone carrying a hint of resolute determination. "It's like the operation we're about to embark on. Although we'll face many difficulties, we'll eventually break through the darkness and usher in the light."

Deputy Director Liao and Yan Guohua exchanged a glance, both seeing the same determination and conviction in each other's eyes. They knew the days ahead would be exceptionally difficult, but for justice and for the peace of the people, they were willing to give everything.

"Director Lin, we'll go prepare right away," Deputy Director Liao said, his voice full of strength. "We will definitely make the Zhao family of Changwu receive the punishment they deserve."

Yan Guohua nodded and added, "Yes, we will approach this from all angles, leaving no detail overlooked, to ensure that the Zhao family is wiped out in one fell swoop."

Lin Yunfei turned around, looked at his two capable subordinates, and smiled with satisfaction: "Good, I believe in you. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must persevere. We have the people and justice behind us, and we have no way out."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yunfei gave some detailed instructions on precautions. Then, Deputy Director Liao and Yan Guohua hurriedly left the office to prepare for the upcoming battle.

The rain poured down harder and harder, as if trying to wash the entire world clean. And amidst this downpour, a secret operation targeting the Zhao family of Changwu quietly began.

186. Li Dakang was demoted three ranks to the position of District Chief of Guangming District.

186. Li Dakang was demoted three ranks to the position of District Chief of Guangming District.

Lin Yunfei suddenly rose to power, becoming the vice governor and director of the public security department.

Then the vice mayor of Jingzhou and the secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee will be automatically dismissed from their posts.

This creates a vacancy.

Just two days later, the Ministry of Personnel dispatched a provincial discipline inspection commission secretary to be parachuted into Handong.

Coincidentally, this provincial discipline inspection commission secretary also shares the same surname, Zhao. His name is Zhao Dagong.

However, Zhao Dagong and Zhao Mengsheng are not directly related.

To put it simply, we are not related.

A vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel led Zhao Dagong into the Hantong Provincial Party Committee building.

Sha Ruijin quickly stepped forward to greet him: "A warm welcome! On behalf of the entire leadership of Handong Province..."

The Vice Minister of Personnel looked displeased: "Sha Ruijin, there's no need for such trouble. The court is quite dissatisfied with your Handong."

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing a huge uproar.

Sha Ruijin's face instantly darkened.

"Now I will read out the two appointment and dismissal notices from the Ministry of Personnel."

"Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, was a nepotist and ambitious man. Under his leadership, the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee experienced a collapse-style corruption."

"A total of 15 bureau-level officials have been brought down due to corruption."

"Among them, the March 28th bombing incident. As the top leader, Li Dakang bears an unshirkable responsibility."

The Ministry of Personnel reported to the Cabinet.

"The conclusion is that Li Dakang bears the primary responsibility."

. . . . .

The Vice Minister of Personnel cleared his throat and continued reading: "After deliberation and approval by the Cabinet, the following decision is made regarding Li Dakang: effective immediately, he is relieved of his posts as Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, demoted three ranks, and transferred to the position of Mayor of Guangming District."

"At the same time, a thorough investigation will be conducted into the relevant officials involved in the Jingzhou case, and there will be absolutely no leniency." Hearing this severe punishment, Sha Ruijin broke out in a cold sweat, but dared not utter a word of objection.

The Vice Minister of Personnel picked up a second notice: "In view of the series of problems that have recently emerged in Handong Province, it has been decided, after research, to appoint Comrade Zhao Dagong as a member of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, to be fully responsible for the discipline inspection work in Handong Province, and to take up his post immediately."

Zhao Dagong nodded slightly, his gaze fixed firmly on the crowd. Sha Ruijin forced a smile and shook hands with Zhao Dagong, saying, "Secretary Zhao, welcome to Handong. Let's work together to make Handong a better place."
