Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 466 - 329: The Storm is Brewing (Part 2)

Now they know not to mess with Salted Fish, but it’s too late.

Old Li held back a laugh, his expression turned serious: "Who’s targeting you? We’re cracking down on illegal and criminal activities. We’re enforcing the law impartially!"

"If you really were enforcing the law impartially, why only investigate Huayuan and not other schools? If you really were enforcing the law impartially, why only arrest a few of us and not go after others who run schools?"

"I know there are many fraudster schools over at your place, but we only have the leads and evidence of your fraud. Of course, we have to focus on where we have evidence and track down those leads."

"No leads, is that it? I’ll report them!"

"Do you want to win merit?"

There are so many schools in Gaozhou, I’ll report each and every one of them, and then we’ll see if you investigate or arrest them. If you make any distinction or enforce selectively, I’ll definitely cry injustice in court.

Lin Chunsheng thought more and more that this was his only way out; only by dragging down his competitors could he achieve the effect of the law not accounting for the multitude, blatantly reporting them one by one like spilling beans from a bamboo tube.

Old Li listened dumbfounded, Xiao Xu’s hand was numb from taking notes, unable to believe that in order to evade punishment, he was biting like a mad dog.

...

While Lin Chunsheng was busy reporting, Han Yu and Director Li were sound asleep in the Santana car at the Liangzhuang Construction Station’s special project department.

Shenzhen was far from Gaozhou; it was too much for one driver to drive the entire way.

Manager Liu, considering the safety of the journey, had asked the drivers from the Qing’an City Shenzhen Office to take turns driving with the Construction Station’s drivers.

Driver Xiao Mi, holding the steering wheel, glanced at the rearview mirror and reminded, "Captain Han, Captain Han, your phone is ringing. You have a call."

Han Yu was woken up, rubbed his eyes, took out his mobile phone to see the incoming call, pressed the talk button, and held the phone to his ear, "I’m Han Yu, may I ask who’s speaking?"

"Captain Han, it’s Huang Wenhua from the Southern City Police Station of the Gaozhou City Police Bureau. We’ve met before, remember?"

"I remember, Director Huang, how did you think of calling me?"

"Captain Han, you’re not even asking how I got your number?"

It seemed that Sister Zhang Lan and her movements had been exposed, but there was nothing to worry about. After all, they had never intended to hide from them, let alone arrest someone without notifying them.

Han Yu turned around and glanced at Director Li, who had just woken up, and said with an unaffected smile, "Director Huang, if I’m not wrong, you must have got it from Brother Chen."

"You’re right; indeed, I found out from Chen Haijun. Please don’t blame him, as one of our Police, if I ask, he cannot keep it from me."

"How could I blame him? Besides, my mobile number is not exactly a secret."

"But your operation is very secretive. Six of you come over without even saying hello to me. Captain Han, are you afraid I won’t assist you with the case, or are you worried I might tip someone off?"

"The police are all under Heaven’s family; Director Huang, why are you saying such things?"

Huang Wenhua had already arrived at the door of Wanghai Hotel, nodded to Old Liu coming his way, and while walking towards a corner, he casually and lightly asked with a laugh, "Captain Han, since the police are all one family, we should be open with each other. Can you tell me honestly, how exactly do you intend to teach Huayuan a lesson; how are you planning to deal with Lin Chunsheng?"

Director Huang was very alert.

Han Yu inwardly praised him and chuckled, "Director Huang, the way you put it, it’s as if I’m from the mafia."

"Lin Chunsheng won’t follow the rules, he rejects a proper approach. Indeed, he deserves a lesson! Don’t laugh at me, but the more I think about it, the more enraged I get. I, Huang Wenhua, at least hold the position of police station chief and am even in charge of their area. Yet, my face is only worth three thousand yuan in his eyes; I too want to deal with him."

"Director Huang, don’t be angry; he doesn’t need you or me to sort him out. The net of justice is wide, but it lets nothing through; sooner or later, he will face strict punishment by the law."

Director Li heard everything clearly and couldn’t help but laugh.

He thought it’s no wonder so many law enforcement leaders from Shijiang value this Salted Fish. Even in a proud moment, he doesn’t forget himself; he speaks without leaking any information, leaving no handle for the other party to grab.

Huang Wenhua didn’t record the conversation, nor had he thought about using a recording to catch Han Yu out. He just wanted to solve any problems; otherwise, if things got out of hand, the Southern City Police Station wouldn’t be at peace.

He turned back to look at the hotel lobby and said very seriously and sincerely, "Captain Han, last time we didn’t host you well, this time I must properly extend my hospitality as the host. Where are you now? Let me treat you to a midnight snack."

All the main suspects had been captured, and someone was watching over the two major accomplices.

Everything was ready, Han Yu wasn’t afraid the cooked duck would fly away, and said frankly, "I’m on my way to your Bureau now; I should be able to get there before work starts tomorrow."

"Go to our Police Bureau?"

"Director Huang, we public security police are all police, after all. Since we are here to handle a case, we must follow inter-district investigation procedures. To handle a case in your jurisdiction, of course, we need your assistance."

Following inter-district investigation procedures, it seems they won’t play any tricks.

Huang Wenhua breathes a sigh of relief, but then asks, "Captain Han, does that mean you’ve opened an investigation against Huayuan?"

"Mm."

"What’s the charge?"

"Fraud."

"Captain Han, it’s not like you haven’t been here before, you know the situation in our area. Once bitten, twice shy; I’m telling you this as a friend, it would be difficult for our Police Bureau to offer assistance, as ultimately, our bureau leadership has to listen to the city authorities."

"We are here with proper procedures, if your bureau does not provide assistance, then we can only turn to Mao Ming City Police Bureau."

"Going to Mao Ming probably won’t help either, they have quite a few schools like Huayuan as well."

"Director Huang, are you saying there’s no place in East Guang where we can reason?"

"Captain Han, that’s not what I mean. Whether or not you consider me a friend, if you do, upon your arrival, I will invite Lin Chunsheng out and have him apologize to you. With so many of you coming, even Linghai city leaders, let him bear all the costs, and ensure that he doesn’t recruit from your area again."

"A private settlement?" Captain Han Yu asked with a chuckle. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Huang Wenhua hurriedly said, "Mediation, I can ask our bureau leadership to mediate."

As public security police, the officer on the other end of the phone might not be very competent, but his environment makes it difficult for him to be competent. However, as a cadre of Gaozhou, he is quite adept, at least thinking to proactively resolve disputes and minimize negative impacts.

Han Yu was somewhat admiring of him, but only somewhat. After weighing his options, he said lightheartedly, "Director Huang, no need to trouble yourself. In fact, if Lin Chunsheng wants to make amends with me, even crying and apologizing profusely, it’s not a personal grudge, we are investigating a case and must uphold justice fairly."

Huang Wenhua was stunned, then instinctively asked, "You’ve arrested Lin Chunsheng?"

"He was caught this morning in Shenzhen. Without the assistance of colleagues in Shenzhen, it would not have been so easy to find and arrest them."

"..."

"Director Huang, Director Huang, is the signal bad?"

"Oh, signal is quite good."

Huang Wenhua came back to his senses and said with a wry smile, "No wonder I’ve been calling him all day and couldn’t get through. Since he is... since he is in your custody, I won’t meddle in this, it is not something a mere station chief like me can get involved in. You all go to our Police Bureau leadership first tomorrow, and once you’re finished, I’ll treat you to dinner."

Han Yu couldn’t help but laugh, "Director Huang, sorry for not informing you before we made the arrests."

"There’s no need to inform me, you didn’t make the arrest in my jurisdiction."

"Director Huang, you’re really not mad?"

"How could I be mad? You’re handling a case, I’ll leave now. Oh, I almost forgot, remember to remind your two colleagues that there are a lot of mosquitoes here at night, to keep the windows closed."

So, he was at the hotel where his sister and Sister Zhang Lan were staying...

Han Yu hung up the phone and turned back with a smile, "Director Li, this station chief is quite interesting, we can have him be an intermediary later."

The main suspects had been captured, but retrieving the stolen money would not be easy. Negotiations would certainly be necessary, and indeed, some matters could not be mentioned openly, a mediator was definitely needed.

Director Li thought for a moment and smiled, "What about your friend?"

Han Yu pocketed his phone and explained, "My friend is a military transfer official, who’s only been stationed at their Police Station for a few years as an ordinary officer."

The position of the mediator cannot be too low, otherwise, he wouldn’t have the standing to speak with their leadership.

And this leadership is not just the Police Bureau’s leadership, but also the city leaders.

"Using the station chief who just called you could also work," Director Li thought for a moment and then couldn’t help but laugh, "Salted Fish, I didn’t expect you to be so cunning. Truly a disciple of Xu Sanye, looks like you’ve received the true teachings of your master."
