Chapter 430: Changing lives.

Linjiang City, inside the reception room.

There were two cups of tea on the glass coffee table, with hot steam rising from the glass cups, permeating the air.

As soon as the tea gets cold, the logistics staff will immediately replace it with two cups of new tea. They are very enthusiastic and thoughtful.

However, Zheng Chuan, who was sitting on the sofa, had a cold face and seemed uneasy.

Mei Juan was sitting next to him with a briefcase on her knees. The two of them looked toward the corridor. Police officers from the Linjiang Municipal Bureau were coming and going, but no one paid any attention to them.

Mei Juan whispered, “Boss Zheng, we’ve been waiting for two days, but Director Tang and Director Lu have no intention of meeting us. If we keep waiting like this, we won’t be able to report to the provincial department.”

“The local unit is so rude!” Zheng Chuan hit his knee with his fist and sighed heavily: “If it doesn’t work, we will go to the Haidong Provincial Public Security Bureau…”

“What if they’re just being perfunctory?”

“Go to the Ministry!” Zheng Chuan gritted his teeth and said, “Such a big case, I don’t believe the Ministry won’t take care of it!”

Mei Juan shook her head and said, “Boss Zheng, we can’t meet anyone here, so we might as well go to the city. Deep Blue Biotechnology is a star company here, and they are closely connected to the city. If we don’t have solid evidence, the Linjiang City Bureau and the Haidong Provincial Department will definitely not rashly intervene in the investigation.”

“How could I not understand this? They are afraid that we will engage in deep-sea fishing. After all, the major case of human organ trafficking uncovered in Baishi County was still led by Director Luo.

Not only did he leave the mess to us, but he also just walked away. As a people’s policeman, he is too…” Zheng Chuan couldn’t finish the second half of his words. He pinched his nose and sighed deeply.

Mei Juan leaned forward and said, “It shouldn’t be. I have learned about the cases handled by Director Luo in detail. Several major criminal cases he solved were used as examples for the whole country, and we have held meetings to study them.

This man has a nickname called ‘Luo Yanwang’. It is said that he hates evil and never shows mercy in fighting criminals. Not to mention, units across Haidong Province are very afraid of him. He solves cases while fighting corruption, and does all the work of the disciplinary inspection department. “

Zheng Chuan sat up and said, “That’s why it would be best if he was involved in this case. But as you can see, this guy is very cunning and just doesn’t want to investigate.”

Mei Juan hesitated for a moment and leaned over: “Boss Zheng, instead of wasting time here, why don’t we go directly to the department.”

Zheng Chuan closed his eyes and replied, “It’s not like I haven’t thought about it. But if we really go, we will offend the Haidong Provincial Department.”

“Boss Zheng, we came here specially, but they don’t even want to see us…” Mei Juan emphasized the last sentence: “Besides, this is a major transnational case, not an ordinary case.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Chuan pursed his lips.

Mei Juan continued, “If the ministry sends someone down to form a special task force with us to investigate the case, then they can’t blame us.”

Zheng Chuan rolled his eyes and said, “Let’s wait for another day. If Linjiang City still doesn’t see us tomorrow morning, we’ll go directly to Dicheng!”

Meijuan nodded.

Now that the decision had been made, the two men’s expressions eased a little and they were no longer anxious.

Zheng Chuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smacked his lips: “Hey! You know what, the tea from the Linjiang Municipal Bureau is quite delicious, sweet and slightly bitter, very soothing to the throat, and also very suitable for relieving internal heat.”

“Really?” Mei Juan also picked up the teacup and took a sip: “It tastes very good, and the soup color is also good. I guess some leader likes this.”

Outside the reception room, Yang Bo, who was hiding in the corner, saw two people in the room drinking tea and quickly turned around and ran away.

He ran up to the third floor and came to the archive room.

Lu Kangming was standing under the shelf, absent-mindedly flipping through a file in his hand.

Hearing the footsteps, Lu Kangming closed the file and quickly turned around.

“how is the situation?”

Yang Bo smacked his lips and said, “He’s still in the reception room. He hasn’t left yet.”

Lu Kangming said, “Hey!” “Director Tang is the same. Leave this matter to me. It’s not right to meet them, and it’s not right not to meet them. It’s too embarrassing.”

Yang Bo was an old subordinate whom Lu Kangming brought from Shahe County, so he was not afraid of spreading his complaints about Tang Zhiguo.

Yang Bo came close to him and lowered his voice and said, “Director Lu, Mr. Zheng from Haixi Province was gloomy at first, but after the two of them chatted for a while, their expressions became very relaxed. I think they must have some ideas in mind.”

“Really?” Lu Kangming pondered. He would not disbelieve Yang Bo’s words.

Although Yang Bo was just a police officer in Shahe County before, he had worked with Luo Rui for several years and solved many major cases. His observation ability was much better than that of ordinary criminal police.

If you are not a confidant, you generally won’t help the leader make decisions, but Yang Bo is an old subordinate of Lu Kangming, so he didn’t care about this. He said: “Director Lu, I should say something that I shouldn’t say…”

Lu Kangming nodded: “You go ahead.”

Yang Bo hesitated for a moment and replied, “I have contacted Fang Yonghui. I learned from him that Luo Da and his team were chasing fugitives in Baishi County and found a case of human organ trafficking, and there were many Lao Yue involved.”

Yang Bo said it very subtly, but Lu Kangming could hear it. This was a major transnational case.

But since it involves Linjiang City, it is very worrying.

Lu Kangming frowned: “What else did Yonghui say?”

Yang Bo shook his head: “He didn’t dare to say much, just told us to take it easy.”

“What about Luo Chu? What’s his attitude?”

“How could Yonghui know what Luo Da was thinking, but he didn’t dare to ask.

This case was discovered by Luo Da and his team when they were chasing fugitives in Baishi County. Logically, Luo Da would not intervene because the jurisdiction is different. But this case has now come to our Linjiang City. No matter how powerful Luo Da is, he has to obey the arrangements of the provincial department. “

“Yang Bo…” Lu Kangming stared at him worriedly, “Do you still remember when we cracked down on Gu Zhiliang’s drug trafficking gang in Shahe County?”

Yang Bo sighed, “I will never forget this case. Li Nong was the captain at that time. He was almost thrown into the river and drowned by criminals. Luo Da’s master, Zheng Rong, was also stabbed. Not to mention, how many people were killed, even the provincial government…”

Lu Kangming quickly made a gesture to silence him: “Our current situation is just like that of Shahe County. Do you understand?”

Yang Bo nodded: “That’s true, but Luo Da was there at that time. Now Luo Da has been transferred to the provincial department. I don’t know if Team Wu can handle it.”

“Him?” Lu Kangming blinked. “That’s a big deal. I think if the higher-ups are planning to investigate Deep Blue Biotech, the provincial department will definitely send Luo Rui down.”

Yang Bo’s eyes lit up: “If that’s true, that would be great!”

Linjiang City, a high-tech industrial park in the northern suburbs.

Two Coasters were parked in the yard, surrounded by many people carrying briefcases, and reporters from TV stations were filming nearby.

“Mayor Zhong, Director Tang, since you guys are here so rarely, how about letting me host a simple meal?”

Zhong Mingguo smiled and said, “Boss Jin, forget about eating. This is against the rules.”

Jin Hong was a tall and gentle man in a black suit. Behind him stood a number of Deep Blue Biotech executives, including Jin Hanna, who was on the same flight as Luo Rui and Lin Chen.

Tang Zhiguo also said: “Boss Jin, I accompanied Mayor Zhong to your place for research this time, and I really learned a lot of advanced technology, especially those newly developed medical devices, which look very high-end.”

Jin Hong smiled and nodded: “Director Tang, you are too kind. I also want to benefit the people. Besides, our Deep Blue Group also has several private hospitals. After these medical aids were approved by the departments, they were put into use and received a very good response. I hope they can help more people.”

Zhong Mingguo patted his shoulder with satisfaction: “No matter what, Deep Blue Group is a high-tech industry in Linjiang City. We will spare no effort to support it in terms of policy.”

“Then thank you, Mayor Zhong.” Jin Hong bowed and continued to invite, “It’s already noon, leaders, why don’t you eat before leaving? I’ll ask our group cafeteria to prepare a few dishes. We won’t waste money and will definitely not violate the regulations.”

Zhong Mingguo shook his head: “That won’t do. Let’s forget about the meal. Mr. Jin, let’s leave it at that for now. The GDP for the first half of the year still depends on your park.”

Seeing that he couldn’t be persuaded to stay, Jin Hong nodded hurriedly: “We will definitely live up to the expectations of the leaders!”

Zhong Mingguo waved, then he and Tang Zhiguo boarded the Coaster.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the car started and drove out of the park.

After the car drove away, Tang Zhiguo immediately approached Zhong Mingguo and said, “Mayor Zhong, have you figured out what’s going on?”

Zhong Mingguo frowned and said, “We have only been in the park for half a day. What can we see? Does Jin Hong dare to let us see the hidden things?”

Tang Zhiguo sighed: “Then how do we report this to the higher-ups? Should we investigate or not? People from the provincial department and provincial government are coming tonight.”

Zhong Mingguo is in charge of economy. He is overwhelmed by the current situation. Yesterday, he received an assignment from Sheng Wei, asking him to inspect the Shenlan Park.

At first, he didn’t understand the situation, but after some inquiries, he realized that DeepBlue Biotechnology seemed to be involved in a major case of human organ trafficking in Baishi County, Haixi Province.

If this is true, then this case is going to be a big deal!

Deep Blue Biotechnology Company is a star enterprise in Linjiang City. The GDP of a city depends on these high-tech enterprises, but as long as it is related to the trafficking of human organs, there is no doubt that it will be investigated thoroughly and will not be tolerated.

There is no doubt that everything must give way to the safety of people’s lives and property.

But where to find solid evidence is the most urgent task.

For something like this, should I just ask: Hey, Lao Jin, I heard that your company is committing illegal activities. Is that true?
Isn’t that ridiculous?
Tang Zhiguo was in a dilemma: “The two people from Haixi Province are still sitting in my office. I have left them alone for a whole day. If I don’t see them again, this matter will be unacceptable.”

Zhong Mingguo thought for a moment and replied, “Anyway, someone from above will be coming tonight, so let the two comrades from Haixi Province speak then.”

Tang Zhiguo understood that this was to let these two people take the lead. It didn’t matter whether there were any gains from today’s inspection.

Anyway, with such a big case, naturally someone will investigate it. Zhong Mingguo is a person in charge of economics, so this matter will not affect him.

Tang Zhiguo is also an old fox. Although he is the head of a bureau, this case spans two provinces and there is no need for him to worry about it.

In this way, the two people relaxed. At this time, Zhong Mingguo’s secretary came up and asked in a low voice: “Leader, will the video of today’s inspection be arranged on the city evening news? Or will it be published directly in the newspaper?”

Zhong Mingguo glared at him and said, “Cancel all of them. Don’t let them out.”

“Uh…” The secretary was confused. The material had already been shot, and according to past practice, it must be promoted.

“Didn’t you understand?” Zhong Mingguo said, “Destroy all these materials. Also, tell the people in the Propaganda Department to suppress all the videos of my previous research at the Deep Blue Park and not to broadcast them again.”

The secretary was surprised and nodded quickly: “Okay, I’ll do it right away.”

————

Deep Blue Park, inside a luxurious office.

There were two men and one woman sitting on the huge sofa, and all three of them were staring at Jin Hong who was standing behind the desk.

“Dad, it’s okay, don’t worry, the things happening in Baishi County won’t implicate us.”

The man who was speaking was called Jin Anjun. He was the second oldest of Jin Hong’s three sons and one daughter.

He leaned on the sofa with one hand, sitting in a carefree posture, appearing to be nonchalant.

“Something’s wrong, definitely something’s wrong.” Jin Hong shook his head: “Zhong Mingguo came here just last month, and he came again today. He must have some purpose.”

The third son, Jin Shaobin, also frowned and said, “Dad, I’ve said it before, our business is so big now, we should not do the things we did before, otherwise, our family will get into trouble sooner or later!”

Jin Anjun sneered: “Third brother, it’s easy for you to say that. If we give up, do you believe that someone will jump out and divide us up like a cake?

It is because of these businesses we do that those people in the same boat are afraid of us!
As long as we clean up our act and get ashore, they will definitely be able to take advantage of our weaknesses. Let’s talk about other things, just take our overseas businesses, which will definitely be completely eaten up.

Some things cannot be done just because you say you won’t do them. That’s just the way the world works.”

After saying that, Jin Anxiang looked at his father and said, “Don’t worry, old man. At least in Linjiang City, they will definitely not be able to find any problems.”

“Get out of the way!” Jin Hong didn’t even look at him, but looked at the third brother: “Shao Bin, be more stable, can you give me some advice?”

Jin Shaobin pondered for a while and replied, “I still say the same thing. We should get clean as soon as possible. Even if we have to throw Deep Blue Biotech away, we will not hesitate. I still say the same thing. Saving our lives is the most important thing.”

Jin Hong sighed: “I don’t mind, but I have to listen to your second brother. If we really quit, how many people would want to kill us?”

Jin Shaobin said: “So what? It’s better than living in fear, right? We’ve made enough money!
A few years ago, when Zhang Jun and Gu Zhiliang were involved in the case, it was so scary, especially the criminal policeman named Luo Rui. How many people like us did he take down?

Fortunately, he was transferred to the provincial department, and the storm did not affect us. To be honest, I was relieved when he was transferred. If he had been appointed to Linjiang City, our family would have been gone long ago!”

Jin Anjun snorted coldly and said, “You are scared to death. What is there to be afraid of Luo Rui? He can only crack down on prostitution in Linjiang City. Don’t scare yourself.”

Jin Hong glared at him and said, “Shut up! Second brother, I think you really don’t know your place!”

Although Jin Anjun was not convinced, he did not refute it. He turned his face away and said, “Then tell me, what should we do?”

At this time, Jin Hong looked at his only daughter, Jin Hanna.

“Nana, when you came back the day before yesterday, did you really run into Luo Rui on the flight?”

Jin Hanna nodded: “Yes, I met him. At first I recognized him, but after I knew his identity, I stopped talking to him.”

“Does he know your identity?”

Jin Hanna shook her head: “I probably don’t know.”

Jin Anjun said, “So what if he knows? How can he arrest us without any evidence?”

“I’m not talking to you!” Jin Hong yelled, then he looked at his daughter and lowered his voice a little: “Nana, at this juncture, I think you and Mike should go back to Australia first, what do you think?”

Jin Hanna shook her head: “I won’t leave. If the police dare to arrest us, we will fight to the death with them!”

Jin Anjun immediately gave a thumbs up: “Otherwise, our sister is brave!”

Jin Hanna continued, “Besides, my father gave me a second life, no matter what, I will face this difficulty with you.

After this difficult time is over, Dad, you still have to listen to my third brother. Let’s hand over the company to someone else and immigrate to other countries. Then even if the police find out something, they won’t be able to do anything to us.”

Jin Shaobin nodded beside him: “Immigration is good, I agree!”

Jin Anjun smiled and said, “I’m afraid Big Brother wouldn’t want to do that. He hates capitalism.”

Jin Hanna asked, “By the way, I’ve been back for two days, and I haven’t seen my brother. Where did he go?”

Jin Anjun curled his lips and said, “I don’t know which remote place he went to for free medical treatment. What else can he do? He never cares about the family affairs.”

“You know shit!” Jin Hong cursed, “I have three sons and one daughter, and only your eldest brother is the most sensible! He doesn’t know what’s going on at home, so he has to stay alive. If anything happens to us, he’ll be the only one who can collect our bodies.”

“Dad, what are you talking about? Don’t say anything unlucky.” Jin Hanna’s face was livid: “Don’t worry, we will definitely get through this difficult time!”

“I hope so.” Jin Hong put his hands behind his back and looked out the window with a tired expression.

Jin Anjun stood up and clapped his hands: “Old man, then I will tell everyone below to stop doing this for the next few days and wait until the storm has passed before we do anything else?”

Jin Hong nodded.

Before leaving, Jin Anjun turned around and asked, “Dad, we don’t have any donors, what should we do with our downstream customers?”

Jin Hong waved his hand impatiently: “Let them look somewhere else, we are not the only ones doing this.”

Jin Anjun blinked his eyes and said, “That’s right. If you have money, why worry about not being able to find a donor? Rockefeller had six heart transplants, and one of them was the capital of our fortune.”

———-

Qingyang City, outside the funeral home.

Sun Kang and his family stood in front of the auditorium and accepted condolences from the crowd.

Luo Rui led the Special Task Force in a long queue. Everyone took off their police hats, held them in their left hands, and lowered their heads slightly.

Half of Sun Kang’s hair has turned white, and the skin on his face has become loose, making him look older than before.

After the people in front entered the auditorium, Luo Rui slowly walked up to him.

“Director Sun, please accept my condolences.” Luo Rui didn’t dare to look him in the eye.

Sun Zhihao’s sacrifice cast a shadow over everyone’s heart, especially the criminal police involved in the investigation of the case, who felt even more heavy in their hearts.

Sun Kang held Luo Rui’s hand, and in order not to keep the people behind him waiting for too long, he pulled Luo Rui aside.

“Director Luo, I heard that during your pursuit, you cracked a major case of human organ trafficking in Baishi County?”

Hearing him say this, Luo Rui was slightly surprised. Today’s occasion was not suitable for discussing the case, but Sun Kang was Sun Zhihao’s relative, so he said, “Director Sun, I can’t tell you more about this case, and I didn’t participate in it, let alone talk about it.”

“Yes, I can’t say more.” Sun Kang looked dejected, then raised his head and blinked: “Director Luo, have the two suspects who killed my son been caught?”

“What?” Luo Rui was stunned for a moment and immediately looked into Sun Kang’s eyes.

“My son Sun Zhihao, have you forgotten? Didn’t he follow you?” Sun Kang licked his lips, his eyes dim.

Luo Rui’s heart sank to the bottom. His wrist was tightly grasped by Sun Kang, and he kept listening to him saying, “This kid wanted to be a policeman since he was a child. He said he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps. My father is not dead yet, so what family business can he inherit?
But I also think that if he really becomes a policeman, at least he can serve the people, right?”

Luo Rui suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded heavily. Only then did he notice that Sun Kang was not wearing a uniform, but a black suit.

“Oh, Director Luo, let me tell you, there must be something wrong with the [718 case]. Kong Zhijie was wrongly accused. I want to overturn his conviction!

But I can’t do it alone. Whenever I bring up this case, someone will stop me. I can only report it to the provincial department privately. For this reason, I even sent my son to the provincial department just to see if you, Luo Rui, can do it.”

“I… I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Director Sun.” Luo Rui gritted his teeth and tried to control his emotions.

“My kid was praising you… He said you were the most talented detective, the most capable detective. This kid praised you to the sky, saying you were better than me.”

“No, I’m not as good as him.”

Sun Kang rolled his eyes, his expression frozen for a while, and then he looked at Luo Rui with a vigilant look in his eyes: “Who are you?”

“I…” Luo Rui was speechless and could only look towards the auditorium for help.

At this moment, Cao Yang quickly ran over and supported Sun Kang: “Master, I will help you to rest for a while.”

“You…” Sun Kang looked at Cao Yang: “Are you the new police officer in the bureau?”

Cao Yang ignored him, but nodded to Luo Rui, and said in a sad tone: “Director Luo, since Haozi was killed, Master has not slept for three days and three nights, and half of his hair has turned white.

He became like this after waking up from a nap. Sometimes he was clear-headed, but most of the time he was confused and his speech was incoherent.

Because we want to hold a memorial service for Haozi, we took him out of the mental hospital…”

Having said this, Cao Yang couldn’t continue.

Luo Rui looked at Sun Kang’s dull eyes and asked softly, “Does he know that Sun Zhihao has been killed?”

“For most of his memory, the rat was still alive…”
