The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 218 Director Qin, I'm here to report a crime, I've been scammed.

No one knows what Zhang Huaiyuan said to Qin Chuan and Jia Tianming.

All that is known is that Zhang Huaiyuan personally escorted Qin Chuan and Jia Tianming to the courtyard of the county committee building.

Watching the two get into the car and wave goodbye, I saw them off with my right hand as they left the county government compound.

He turned around, whistling, looking incredibly happy.

"Let's drink to celebrate our victory today..."

In the car.

"Director Qin, rest assured about the county bureau's affairs from now on. Lao Gao and I will definitely give our full support."

Jia Tianming thumped his chest loudly.

Just now in Zhang Huaiyuan's office, Qin Chuan made it clear that he had come to Ping'an County for the purpose of his visit.

Li Longfei...

They tried to curry favor with him before, but they could never succeed.

Li Longfei's influence is mainly based in Xin'an City; he secretly controls Ping'an County.

Even Jia Tianming, the head of the county public security bureau, was unaware of this.

Who would have thought that the seemingly disorganized underground forces in Ping'an County were actually being manipulated by the Donglin Company?

Even if it weren't for Jia Tianming, Qin Chuan had known for a long time that Donglin Company had problems, he never expected that Donglin Company had done something so big.

The reason Jia Tianming dared to make this guarantee was because he only collected some money internally.

This does not conflict with Qin Chuan's campaign against organized crime.

Jia Tianming was actually very clear about the stakes involved; Qin Chuan wasn't from the Discipline Inspection Commission and wasn't targeting him.

As long as he and Gao Zhiyuan stand firmly behind Lu Chuan from this moment on, the two of them can stand tall and unyielding.

They might even be able to take this opportunity to go further.

Or, if we help Qin Chuan do things well this time, we'll likely be able to advance further.

Qin Chuan didn't even need to specifically mention this to Vice Governor Yang Jinguo.

There are rules in officialdom.

As long as Qingchun performs well in Ping'an County and completes her tasks outstandingly, Yang Jinguo will naturally consider her application.

For the other party, promoting them from deputy county head to county head would be an easy task.

Zhang Huaiyuan was so happy because he had the same idea in mind.

Over the years, he has not been involved in any engineering projects or similar matters in Ping'an County, and naturally, he has not had much to do with the underworld.

Only his own son seemed to have some connection with Zhang Long's group; he had even spoken to him on their behalf last time.

But this is a minor matter.

Why not just have his son pay a visit to Qin Chuan to apologize?

Apologizing to others is shameful, but apologizing to Qin Chuan is not.

Zhang Huaiyuan has made a decision: from now on, Qin Chuan will have the green light in Ping'an County. Whatever he wants to do, Zhang Huaiyuan will support him 100% unconditionally.

In Yang Jinguo's words, supporting Qin Chuan is not just about supporting him personally, nor is it just about supporting Vice Governor Yang Jinguo; it is about supporting the province's special campaign against organized crime.

When listening to your leader, just listen to the underlying meaning.

Zhang Huaiyuan's understanding was that as long as he supported Qin Chuan's work, his next step would be secure.

"You're too kind, Director. You and the Political Commissar have always been very supportive of us."

Qin Chuan smiled, never expecting that this coincidence in capturing Zhang Ye would bring him such a great help.

With Yang Jinguo vouching for himself, things became much easier.

After this incident, the county public security bureau should no longer cause him any trouble, and the county party committee and government will definitely give him their full support.

In this way, I would basically be free from the pressure from the system during the investigation of Li Longfei's case.

Moreover, Qin Chuan could say that if anyone foolishly tried to stop him, the consequences would be predictable.

They didn't even need to find any dirt on the other party themselves; they just needed to give Zhang Huaiyuan a signal, and someone would take care of him.

The key to being an official is your position; if you're not in that position, you can't say those things.

If someone doesn't listen, just change their position.

Qin Chuan couldn't do it before, but things are different now.

That night.

"Dad, is that deputy director... really that capable?"

"How could this be false? You didn't see Vice Governor Yang's attitude..."

Zhang Huaiyuan specifically called his son back to explain this matter: "I heard you mention last time that you had dealings with someone named Zhang Long, right?"

"Yes, when we went to the nightclub, I asked him to send a few of his underlings to keep things going, so there wasn't much involvement."

"I gave them a heads-up before they were arrested a couple of days ago."

"But when I was arrested the second time, I didn't say anything."

Zhang Zihao is good at knowing his limits and never lies to Zhang Huaiyuan.

This is why Zhang Huaiyuan let Zhang Zihao run his own official career; he knew his son was reliable.

"Two things. First, go to the Criminal Investigation Division of the County Public Security Bureau to report the case tomorrow."

"Just say Zhang Long lied to you, and completely absolve yourself of this responsibility, understand?"

"Yes, I'll take care of it tomorrow."

"Secondly, don't contact the people over there for the time being."

Zhang Zihao frowned. The money had already been spent, and it was ten million.

"Dad, it's almost done... and we've already reached ten million..."

“I know that ten million is not a small amount, but let’s put this matter aside for now.”

"Now, as long as we support Qin Chuan's work, Vice Governor Yang Jinguo will naturally show his support. Since we can take the right path, we won't take the shortcut."

"As for money, remember this: as long as you hold an official position, you'll never lack money."

"Don't ask for the money back from there, but don't sever the relationship; just keep it going."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Ten million……

Although Zhang Zihao was unwilling, he still listened to Zhang Huaiyuan's words.

The next morning, Zhang Zihao went to the Criminal Investigation Brigade to report the case.

After Zhang Long was detained, the Criminal Investigation Brigade issued a county-wide notice soliciting clues about the crimes committed by Zhang Long's criminal gang.

Under Gao Zhiyuan's personal guidance, Zhang Zihao met Qin Chuan.

"Director Qin! I'm here to report a crime. Zhang Long... he tricked me!"
