Chapter 884: A Storm Has Begun!

Qiao Lin's mind went blank!

Zhang Tongshan was finished!

He himself was finished too!

His career would be cut short here, and his reputation would be completely ruined.

What awaited him would be an investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission!

He would also be reduced to gossip for the common folk of Dayu County to discuss over tea and meals.

Qiao Lin wanted to slap himself hard!

Why had he fallen to this point?

Suddenly, he felt a bit dazed!

Because he had forgotten when he first accepted a bribe!

When he was asked to write a confession, where should he even begin?

"Mission accomplished. We will report the situation to our superiors and treat you with leniency. Let's go!" Xing Zhijun reminded Qiao Lin.

Qiao Lin smiled self-deprecatingly and voluntarily held out his hands.

Xing Zhijun skillfully put handcuffs on Qiao Lin.

Qiao Lin lowered his head, followed behind a police officer, and climbed into a police car.

Xing Zhijun looked at Qiao Lin's lonely back and sighed softly: "Although I know Qiao Lin is not worth sympathizing with, seeing him like this still makes me feel a bit desolate."

Tang Ye patted Xing Zhijun on the shoulder: "Stop being so sentimental. Now that Zhang Tongshan has been caught, you can notify your people to close the net!"

Xing Zhijun regained his composure, took out his phone, and began issuing orders.

"Begin the operation!

Not even a small fish can be let go!"

……

A storm had begun!

The police, who had been lurking in the shadows, received the order, immediately rushed out of their cars, and broke into the target locations.

Because Xing Zhijun had already clearly investigated the internal structure of the locations beforehand, and coupled with the suddenness of the operation, the entire process proceeded extremely smoothly!

Nearby merchants were all attracted by this operation.

"In the past, it was all just for show; how come it looks like they're playing for real today?"

"If you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet!"

……

Xing Zhijun drove Tang Ye back to his residence.

Just as he parked the car, Xing Zhijun received news from the front and immediately shared it with Tang Ye:

"All three locations have been sealed off, and nearly twenty abducted women have been rescued, five of whom are still minors."

Tang Ye patted Xing Zhijun on the shoulder: "I have already communicated with Secretary Ou. He has given instructions that we must take advantage of this momentum to strike while the iron is hot and launch a thorough rectification campaign on social conduct!"

Xing Zhijun nodded slightly: "Alright, I will go arrange it now."

For Xing Zhijun, this operation was undoubtedly a political achievement that could be written into his work report;

Besides that, through this operation, he could also establish prestige after taking the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

It could be called killing two birds with one stone!

……

After Xing Zhijun left, Tang Ye picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Anbang's mobile number.

"County Magistrate Jiang, with Qiao Lin's cooperation, Zhang Tongshan has walked right into the trap!

In addition, the several dens he secretly controlled have also been uprooted by us!

The police rescued dozens of abducted women, five of whom are minors."

Jiang Anbang did not expect the nature of the situation to be so vile, and he took a deep breath: "Well done! The follow-up work must also be handled carefully."

After hanging up Tang Ye's call, Jiang Anbang rubbed his throbbing temples.

Qiao Lin had worked with him for many years.

Back when he was the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, Qiao Lin was his Liaison Officer.

The two were not just superior and subordinate; there was even a bit of a mentor-student bond between them.

If Qiao Lin hadn't gone astray and taken this wrong step, even if he had missed this opportunity for promotion, as long as there was a suitable opportunity in the future, he would definitely have given Qiao Lin a hand.

Jiang Anbang had no objections toward Tang Ye.

Because the whole thing was entirely Qiao Lin courting his own death!

……

Subsequently, Tang Ye dialed Ou Xiye's phone again.

"Secretary Ou, let me report to you the process of this operation.

Through the interrogation of Pang Hu, the police found a key clue.

Pang Hu had six taxis under his name, which were not operating normally but were soliciting customers for some special service venues.

Comrade Xing Zhijun went deep into the tiger's den, conducted an undercover investigation, and figured out the situation of these venues.

With lightning speed, he successfully destroyed the criminal dens and rescued twenty women..."

After listening to Tang Ye's report, Ou Xiye sighed: "I didn't expect it; Zhang Tongshan was actually a malignant tumor hidden in Dayu County."

Tang Ye continued: "In addition, we also found out that Qiao Lin from the County Government Office and Zhang Tongshan were birds of a feather. That complaint material regarding Zhang Tongshan's illegal activities was actually submitted secretly by Qiao Lin!"

Ou Xiye sneered: "Qiao Lin and Zhang Tongshan are a classic case of dogs biting dogs. Do you have any plans for what comes next?"

Tang Ye replied: "I suggest striving for more compensation for the families affected by the Anthracite Project. The demands of the common people are very simple; we must try our best to help them secure the greatest fairness."

After circling around, he ultimately focused his attention on the common people.

This is Tang Ye's consistent style!

Ou Xiye nodded slightly: "Agreed!"

Lu Yun sat on the bed with an imported facial mask on, gently patting her skin with her hands to help the lotion absorb better.

The television was playing a recently popular drama.

But her attention was not on the plot at all.

She would pick up her phone to check it from time to time.

Qiao Lin, who usually took the initiative to message her, hadn't replied for nearly an hour.

Although she felt a bit uneasy inside, she quickly told herself there was no need to be overly nervous.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Lu Yun glanced at the caller ID and, discovering it wasn't Qiao Lin calling, a flash of disappointment crossed her eyes.

A hurried voice came from the other end of the line: "I have something to tell you, Lu Lu has been arrested!"

"What? How could she be arrested?"

Lu Yun knew her younger sister had always been cautious in her actions.

"I'm not sure! I'm on leave today and just heard the news. Sigh, you better hurry and have your brother-in-law think of a way!"

The tone on the other end of the phone was as anxious as if their eyebrows were on fire.

Lu Yun hurriedly took out her phone and dialed Qiao Lin's number.

As a result, the voice prompt indicated that the phone was powered off.

Lu Yun could no longer sit still; she got up from the bed, paced back and forth a few times, and dialed the phone number of Jiang Anbang's wife.

"I am Lu Yun, I would like to ask you about something. Qiao Lin said he was going to see County Magistrate Jiang this evening, but he hasn't returned since, and now his phone won't go through. I wanted to ask, is he still at the hospital?"

Lady Jiang sighed: "Don't get excited yet. About an hour ago, he was taken away by the police; they said it was related to a case and he needed to assist in the investigation."

Lu Yun widened her eyes: "Is County Magistrate Jiang asleep? I'm heading over now, is it convenient?"

Lady Jiang glanced toward the hospital bed.

Jiang Anbang waved his hand impatiently.

Lady Jiang understood her husband's meaning and softly refused, "Don't come over, Old Jiang is already asleep. At this hour, the hospital doesn't allow visitors either! You won't be able to get in!"

"Sister! Sister!"

Lu Yun hurriedly called out several times, but a busy signal had already come from the phone.

When she dialed again, she found that the other party had already turned off their phone.

Lu Yun was completely panicked!

Not only was her sister arrested!

Qiao Lin was in trouble too......
