Chapter 543: A Sharp and Confrontational Warning!

~9 min read 1,628 words

Operating a nightclub is a mixed bag; it is inevitable that filth and corruption will be hidden, and all kinds of people will appear.

Bosses with the confidence to run such establishments naturally have connections, and the customary tributes paid in daily life have never ceased.

As for this Li Yuan, he was only recently promoted.

Wang Yun had contacted him several times, but each time Li Yuan was indifferent.

Wang Yun mentioned this to the boss behind the scenes, Dong Tianbao, several times, but Dong Tianbao did not pay much attention to it, feeling that he was very familiar with the Political Commissar and the Deputy Bureau Chief of the County Public Security Bureau, and that he did not need to take a Deputy Captain of Security seriously.

"Captain Li, do me a favor and let's step aside to talk." Seeing that Li Yuan was about to get serious, Wang Yun could only suppress his anger and say with a face full of smiles.

"If you have something to say, say it right here." Li Yuan looked around, constantly searching for the whereabouts of Wan Ming.

Wang Yun could not read Li Yuan's expression and asked uneasily: "Anything can be discussed; with you making such a big scene, we won't be able to do business."

"There is a problem with what you said. If your place is clean and operated according to regulations without any issues, won't you be able to continue doing business after I finish checking? However, I will put it this way: if there are problems, I'm sorry, but I must act according to the rules," Li Yuan said indifferently.

Li Yuan had long found Wang Yun an eyesore.

Previously, when he was in the Criminal Investigation Team, he needed to search this bar for a criminal suspect while investigating a case, but Wang Yun obstructed him in every possible way, causing the suspect to escape.

Although the case was eventually solved, Li Yuan silently kept this matter in his heart.

……

Seeing that Li Yuan was impervious to reason, a flash of anger crossed Wang Yun's eyes. He took out his phone, walked to a corner, and dialed a number.

"Brother Bao, I'm reporting something to you. The Security Brigade of the Public Security Bureau suddenly came to raid the place, catching us off guard. I feel like something big is going to happen."

Dong Tianbao was originally lying on the sofa, but upon hearing this, he suddenly sat up straight and said coldly: "Didn't they give us a heads-up over there?"

Wang Yun sighed: "Usually, when they come for inspections, they notify us in advance, but today there was no news at all, as if they were determined to find something."

Dong Tianbao's tone turned cold: "Who is leading the team?"

Wang Yun smiled bitterly: "The one leading the team is Li Yuan, the newly appointed Deputy Captain of Security. He used to work in the Criminal Investigation Team, and I have had conflicts with him. Could he be settling a personal vendetta?"

Dong Tianbao rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Li Yuan wouldn't go so far as to target you. If nothing goes wrong, he is targeting me."

Wang Yun asked in surprise: "Then what should we do?"

Dong Tianbao said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, I'm coming over right now."

Arriving downstairs, the lobby, which should have been bustling, was now silent.

Under the screening of the Police, two groups of people were squatting in the corner.

One group was male, carrying controlled knives on their persons, and even prohibited drugs were found;

The other group was girls, none of whom were adults.

Seeing that Dong Tianbao had arrived, Wang Yun walked over helplessly: "Brother Bao, problems were found."

Dong Tianbao glanced at Wang Yun: "Doing business requires following the rules. If there is a problem, actively rectify it. What are you panicking about?"

Wang Yun's expression froze, and he sighed helplessly.

Of course he was panicking; Dong Tianbao was the boss behind the scenes and could distance himself from the situation.

But he was the one in charge of this place, and if something went wrong, he would have to stand up and take the blame.

Dong Tianbao walked straight toward Li Yuan and said sarcastically: "Captain Li, you have quite the prestige."

Li Yuan recognized Dong Tianbao and asked calmly: "Boss Dong, is this bar yours?"

Dong Tianbao smiled faintly: "I am a customer. After a hard day's work, I wanted to come and relax. I heard it was sealed off; it's really a buzzkill to not even be able to spend money!"

Li Yuan explained: "We received a tip-off that this bar is suspected of illegal activities, that people are carrying controlled knives with the intent to provoke trouble, and that there are underage girls engaged in escort activities, so we came to investigate the situation."

Dong Tianbao said calmly: "This bar has been open in Suiyuan for many years. Now that you have brought people to raid the place directly, I am afraid that the outside world will have opinions about the business environment in Suiyuan."

Seeing that Dong Tianbao was speaking sarcastically, Li Yuan stopped paying attention to him.

At this moment, another group of people arrived outside the door.

Leading them was the Captain of Security, Liu Hanyang.

Seeing Liu Hanyang, Wang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Liu Hanyang could suppress Li Yuan.

Liu Hanyang strode up to Li Yuan and questioned him: "There is an operation; why didn't you report it to me in advance?"

Liu Hanyang was extremely furious.

He was Li Yuan's direct superior. Li Yuan had taken people on a sudden operation, and when Gao Hong found him to ask about the situation, he knew nothing and was quite passive.

Li Yuan looked at Liu Hanyang with full confidence: "Captain Liu, I received instructions from higher-level departments to investigate this bar. Now that problems have indeed been found, if I withdraw the team now, how am I supposed to explain it to the leaders?"

Liu Hanyang frowned: "I received instructions from County Magistrate Gao; he requires us to stop the operation immediately. As for the problems you mentioned, reflect them to the higher-ups in writing. However, we must be flexible in our work, ensure the bar operates normally, and not disrupt the commercial atmosphere or affect the overall situation. By the way, whose instructions did you actually receive?"

Li Yuan had not yet had a chance to speak.

Two people appeared out of thin air in the corner.

Everyone's gaze turned toward them instantly.

One of them said in a deep voice: "Li Yuan's operation was approved by me!"

Seeing that the person was Wan Ming, cold sweat instantly broke out on Liu Hanyang's forehead, and he said in surprise: "County Magistrate Wan! You are here too!"

Li Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Bureau Chief Wan was truly well-hidden.

He quickly recognized the young man beside Wan Ming and took the initiative to greet him: "County Magistrate Wan, County Magistrate Tang! We have already controlled the scene according to the requirements."

Wan Ming nodded at Li Yuan and acknowledged: "I saw it!"

Only then did Liu Hanyang recognize Tang Ye, who was wearing casual clothes, and immediately realized that he had taken on a hot potato.

The girl squatting among the minors was full of surprise when she saw this scene.

She clearly did not expect that the young man she had just hit on was actually a Government official.

Moreover, judging by the tone of the Police, his rank was quite high.

Dong Tianbao finally reacted as well...

In the afternoon, because the Demolition Team of Jiulong Town pushed down a wall of the Dong Family Ancestral Hall, it triggered a vicious incident;

In the evening, they directly arranged for the Security Brigade to investigate the establishments related to the Dong Family.

This is a tit-for-tat, hardline warning!

A few minutes ago, Dong Tianbao called Gao Hong.

He originally thought Gao Hong could step in to settle this matter, but now it seems it will be difficult to resolve amicably.

Anyone in Suiyuan County who knows the dynamics of officialdom is clear that the Class Monitor and the Deputy Class Monitor of the County Government are at odds and do not get along.

"Comrade Liu Hanyang, this bar has many public security issues. If it is not handled and rectified immediately, there will be many potential dangers, so I have decided to rectify it. Do you have any opinions?" Wan Ming asked in a deep voice.

"It is mainly that I did not receive notice in advance for this matter, which caused a disconnect in information."

Liu Hanyang secretly groaned.

He finally realized it now: relying only on Li Yuan, if no one were backing him, how would he dare to touch this bar?

"This is because I do not trust a portion of the people. If I had notified you in advance, would I still be able to see the true situation?"

Wan Ming did not spell it out in front of so many people.

Liu Hanyang's face turned red and then white, and he secretly pondered: County Magistrate Gao, this is putting me on the fire to roast!

At this moment!

He must quickly state his position!

Without hesitation, he turned into a fence-sitter immediately!

"County Magistrate Wan, I came here to understand the situation under the instructions of County Magistrate Gao. Since the operation was deployed by you, I have no questions at all.

Brothers, cooperate fully and execute this special public security operation."

Seeing the "reinforcements" choose to defect, Wang Yun's brain crashed, and he was completely stunned...
