Chapter 630: with translation of chapter title
Zhang Chaoxia's face changed slightly; originally she thought Sun Chengjun coming to the Paichusuo would definitely first go to the office and wait a bit.
Because the Paichusuo itself only has about ten people, formal police officers eight, six of them are joint defense members. When leaders come to the Paichusuo, they should at least meet everyone, maybe have a drink of chicken blood or something, then carry out the mission.
But Sun Chengjun doesn't follow the usual playbook; he won't even go in for a sip of water, completely an outsider within the System.
But she still politely said: "Chief Sun, why don't you first have a sip of water and rest a bit? After all, you just came from the county. Besides, we have a few comrades still busy with other work in the station."
Sun Chengjun said: "No matter what work you're busy with, stop immediately and assemble to depart now."
After saying that, he turned around and got into the police car.
Zhang Chaoxia snorted coldly and had to call everyone to set out.
The Political Commissar hurriedly followed up, asking: "Are we really going to arrest people later? If so, then when the time comes, Director Geng's side will blame us..."
Zhang Chaoxia said: "Arrest whoever needs to be arrested; whether he can bring people out of the Twin Ditch Large Koji Winery is his business—we just follow him. Go notify everyone to prepare for police action."
"Lao Ding, sound the alarm, flash the police lights." Sun Chengjun said as soon as he got into the car.
Lao Ding was utterly shocked by Sun Chengjun's style; in his mind, Sun Chengjun daring to go arrest people was already as shocking as Shi Potian's heaven‑shaking feat, and he was certain they wouldn't actually catch anyone.
He even thought that Sun Chengjun had the Shuanggou Town Paichusuo assist in the investigation just so that Zhang Chaoxia could notify Geng Miao early, letting the people flee. Then his own face would be saved, and Director Geng's face would be preserved—everyone would be happy. The underworld isn't about fighting and killing; it's all about deceit and fakery.
If that were the case, he would inevitably feel disappointed toward this Deputy Chief who bears an important mission and has been transferred here.
However, he hadn't expected Sun Chengjun to be so resolute; pulling the trigger to sound the alarm is like shooting an arrow with no turning back, and moreover this is headed straight for the Twin Ditch Large Koji Winery—something that has apparently never happened in the history of Lieshan Xian.
He couldn't help hesitating a moment: "Chief Sun, should we just sneak over directly? If we flash the police lights and sound the alarm, won't they notice? We'd end up coming up empty."
This was also a polite reminder to Sun Chengjun; although he inwardly wanted to take care of that bunch of scoundrels, he hoped more that Sun Chengjun could first establish a foothold, then slowly plan.
Otherwise, such rash actions would easily implicate him; when will the common people of Lieshan Xian ever see another leader with such drive?
But Sun Chengjun's attitude was very firm: "Lao Ding, what are you standing there for? Sound the alarm, flash the police lights. I just want to go arrest them openly, and you, as someone who knows the inside story, know how arrogant they are—how could they possibly flee at the first sign of wind?"
"If I'm not mistaken, they should be waiting there for us, wanting to see whether I dare to arrest them. Lao Ding, what do you think?"
Lao Ding took a deep breath, seeing from Sun Chengjun's face his resolve and that indisputable domineering air: "You certainly dare, we are the people's police, our duty is to fight criminals. Everyone in Lieshan Xian knows exactly what these cases are about—it's because they fear Geng Miao, they fear this black‑and‑white mixed world, afraid they'll lose their livelihood over it."
"But if we actually do this, will the common people still see the light of day? Moreover, I believe you, I believe you were transferred here to eradicate these tumors. I've spent many years in the Criminal Police Team, seen plenty through hard knocks, and I know all too well what kind of people these are. This time, I firmly support you."
Sun Chengjun looked at this old policeman with some gray at the temples and said: "Lao Ding, if I remember correctly, you were back then removed from the position of Criminal Police Team captain because you insisted on seeking redress for the common people and refused to accept red envelopes people gave you. If it weren't for relatives in the Municipal Public Security Bureau speaking up for you, you'd probably have been sent straight to a remote outpost by now."
"After being suppressed like this, you still have such determination? It shows our public security forces aren't as rotten as they say, right down to the root. I believe all your efforts will be seen by the superiors, and everything about you will surely find someone to uphold justice for you. I can guarantee this with the party emblem and national insignia on my head."
As soon as Sun Chengjun said that, Lao Ding's body shuddered; he never imagined that this deputy chief, having been here only a day, had already investigated his affairs thoroughly. It shows this young Deputy Chief is not just here to gild his resume, nor is he just passing through for two years—he really intends to accomplish something.
Many people linked the newly arrived Vice County Magistrate with this Deputy Chief, but no one thought they could stir up any waves in Lieshan Xian; he himself had thought so before arriving.
But now he has changed his mind and firmed his inner resolve: "Thank you, Chief Sun, rest assured— as long as I, Lao Ding, am here, I will definitely not let you encounter difficulties."
From the Shuanggou Town Paichusuo to the Twin Ditch Large Koji Winery it's really just a five‑minute drive; the two arrived while talking. The police car sped all the way with sparks and flashing lights to the winery's gate, but the gatekeeper, seeing the police car come, didn't open the door right away—instead he poked his head out and asked, "What are you up to?"
Such arrogance was still a first for Sun Chengjun, but before he could speak, Lao Ding, with a cold face, said: "Do you have vision problems? Do the police need to explain themselves to you when handling a case? Open the door, otherwise I'll have the Shuanggou Town Paichusuo director come personally to open it."
As soon as he said that, the security guard who had just been acting tough immediately lost his swagger.
Even if Lao Ding said he'd have Zhang San, Li Si, or even the county's leaders come, he wouldn't be scared; he'd even throw out a couple of mocking remarks, because this place only acknowledges the Geng brothers and their sister‑in‑law—anyone else is useless.
As the iron gate was squeaked open from within, Lao Ding floored the accelerator and charged straight in. The piercing alarm and flashing lights immediately caused a huge commotion.
The employees who didn't know the inside story, cigarettes in mouth, hands in pockets, with disdainful expressions, said: "Holy shit, who the hell is this? Dare to come cause trouble at our Twin Ditch Large Koji."
"Exactly, is your brain broken? Dare to come here—what are you up to? Trying to arrest people?"
"Who are they trying to arrest? In our Lieshan Xian, only our winery's security team makes arrests; we've never seen police arrest anyone. And they've come here to arrest people—who gave them the guts?"
"Yeah, I've been in the factory this long, and this is the first time I've seen something like this."
"I've never seen this young guy before—no wonder I don't know who the real boss of Lieshan Xian is."
"No, look— isn't that Lao Ding from the Criminal Police Team in the car? Wasn't he already removed from the position of Criminal Police Team captain? Today he's really swallowed a leopard's gall and a wolf's heart."
"Don't just stand there, hurry and notify the security team—let them know that getting into our winery is easy, but getting out will be hard."
