Chapter 551 - 380: Handling, Boiling the Frog Slowly
Chapter 551: Chapter 380: Handling, Boiling the Frog Slowly
Police, Drug Administration Bureau, Supervisory Committee, Armed Police....
As one familiar yet foreign term echoed through the hall, the whole place was so silent you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone from the Dong Clan held their breath, afraid to inadvertently disturb someone.
Dong Tianbao was so shocked that he stood up abruptly, his head buzzing.
To be honest, any one of the departments mentioned on the phone was something he couldn’t handle!
As the Family Head of the Dong Clan, he understood what level of personnel they were dealing with.
Upper City wouldn’t send just ordinary staff from those departments!
Take the courts and police for example; at the very least, they would send down Wang Yao, the head of the criminal court department.
And the police... at the very least, it’s a Deputy Police Chief.
Let alone the Armed Police, Justice, and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
For a long time.
Lin Fuqiang suddenly opened his eyelids, looked up, glanced at Dong Tianbao, and seeing the other person did not move, he then withdrew his gaze.
"Sss!"
Lin Fuqiang took a deep breath, then stood up, feeling his tired muscles, yet he said nothing, nor did he rest.
He turned around, slowly lifted his leg, and walked outside.
In just a moment, his figure disappeared from sight.
"Snap!"
Dong Tianbao suddenly went weak in the knees, collapsed into the chair, eyes vacant, overwhelmed by immense fear.
"It’s over...."
He murmured to himself, coming to his senses after a long while, and yelled anxiously around him:
"Prepare the car, get me a car!"
"Let me go to the Provincial Office!"
...
At the same time, Lin Fuqiang didn’t delay much; despite not sleeping all night, he didn’t rest first.
Instead, he got in the car, closed his eyes and relaxed a bit inside.
Soon, he opened his eyes, and just as he did so, the car stopped in front of the administrative building.
"Snap!"
Lin Fuqiang opened the car door and stepped out.
Though his physique was somewhat plump, every step he took was powerful, exuding an aura different from ordinary people.
"Tap tap..."
He strode into the hall.
Several busy police officers stopped in their tracks when they saw him and said, "Minister Lin!"
Lin Fuqiang showed no expression, merely nodded in acknowledgment without stopping.
He walked into the elevator, through the corridors, and finally...
"Squeak~"
A door to an office was opened, revealing several unfamiliar faces who turned their heads in unison towards the sound.
Seeing that it was Lin Fuqiang, they nodded slightly and then turned back their attention.
Lin Fuqiang closed the door without change in his expression and then took a seat in the office.
The office was large, but the interior was rather simple.
A conference table sat at its center, with people seated on both sides.
The seating wasn’t random; the left side had people from Lanshan Province, while the right side had representatives from more than a dozen departments sent by Upper City.
"Without further ado, since everyone’s here, let’s... begin the meeting!"
Someone spoke from the main seat at the table’s ends.
The person wore a police uniform, seemed around sixty, but his hawk-like eyes were piercing. He glanced at Lin Fuqiang before withdrawing his gaze and said in a deep voice:
"The notification has already been issued; as for why we are here this time... I don’t think I need to explain it to my colleagues from Lanshan Province."
Explanation?
Is any explanation needed?
The faces of those on the left side of the table all showed a bitter expression.
They awoke to a massive scandal looming over them; they felt bitter, as they did nothing wrong, simply dragged down by reckless heirs... but now, instead of shirking the blame, they kept silent and continued listening.
The Police Chief in the main seat continued:
"Regarding this case, Upper City expresses...."
"Great shock!"
Saying that, the old Police Chief couldn’t hold back his feelings, his face showed anger, he extended his hand, and slammed it on the table.
"Bang!"
The old Police Chief lowered his voice and said solemnly:
"I became a police officer when I was sixteen, and I have nearly fifty years of experience so far."
"But never have I seen a case so vile, where people are penned like livestock to be killed at leisure for entertainment...."
"Is this still 2005!?"
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became.
"One might think it’s 1960 during the bandit revolt!"
"Lin Fuqiang, can the Lanshan Province police do their job or not!?"
In the midst of this, a name was suddenly called out.
Everyone in the meeting room turned to look at Lin Fuqiang.
Honestly, Lin Fuqiang wasn’t at fault in this case; on the contrary, because the case spanned multiple provinces, he even made great contributions!
Therefore, pinpointing blame is harsh, but....
"Master... the people from the club are already under control."
Lin Fuqiang initially wanted to address him as Master, but after a glance around the room, he quickly caught the intent and pivoted instantly.
"The Dong Clan’s involved individuals have been apprehended, and an initial list of victims from the club has been compiled."
"Besides the Dong Clan, the Cui family, the Zheng family, and others are involved in the case, and the police have also brought them under control. The next steps... will follow higher-level instructions."
Xu Liang gave him ample time.
Since the 17th, fifteen days have passed, more than enough for him to thoroughly investigate everyone inside and outside the club.
In other words.
Lin Fuqiang had single-handedly resolved the case.
Upon hearing this.
The faces of those in the meeting room shifted slightly, most of them heaved a sigh of relief.
The Police Chief at the main seat snorted but didn’t continue to blame.
After pondering for a while, he furrowed his brows and shifted the topic.
"Regarding the Dong Clan... how do the personnel from Lanshan Province plan to handle it?"
Upon hearing this, the others exchanged looks.
This time, with Dong Feiyu’s transgression, the Dong Clan obviously couldn’t escape the blame, it’s not something they can simply dismiss by handing over the people involved.
