Qian Zhen, forty-five years old, had started working at the police station when he was sixteen, making him a true veteran.
Qian Zhen was upright and always harbored a sentiment of loyalty to the country. Since Lin Qianqian took office, he had been her right-hand man, although he had not participated in previous cases.
Because in addition to going on missions, Lin Qianqian also needed a reliable accomplice to help her maintain order within the police force. Due to his integrity, Qian Zhen naturally bore this important responsibility.
It could be said that within the police system of Shangjing, besides Lin Qianqian, his position was the highest. The title of Captain was not given in vain.
As his order was issued, everyone immediately began to act. However, after leaving the command center, Qian Zhen did not immediately rush to the workshop but hurried to the technical department.
As it was a temporarily constructed base, the technical department was just a temporary tent. Before his arrival, several teams had already surrounded it according to orders.
Upon arrival, Qian Zhen asked the person in charge, "Are all the personnel inside!"
The person addressed was a sub-captain, similar in age to him, but his face showed more sternness, clearly indicating he was from the combat division.
"Reporting to the Captain, no one has come out since I arrived."
Qian Zhen's brow furrowed slightly. The sub-captain's answer was not what he wanted, but he had acted quickly given the circumstances. He couldn't say much more and could only lead his team in.
There were a total of six staff members inside the technical department. A minute ago, they had been stunned by the order from outside. Seeing Qian Zhen enter, one of the technical staff members couldn't help but stand up and question, "Old Qian, what are you doing? Do you want to kill us all?"
The question was clearly tinged with grievance, but Qian Zhen ignored it. He looked around and suddenly paused.
"Where's Old Song?"
There were seven staff members in the technical department, but now only six were inside. The one who spoke was the head of the technical department, Huo Ying, an old friend who had joined the police force at the same time as him.
Huo Ying suddenly became a little stammering. "This, Old Song, that guy seems to have eaten something bad yesterday and has been having diarrhea all day. He just went out five minutes ago."
When executing a mission, even if the sky was falling, one had to remain at their post. This was a rule in the military! No matter who violated it, they would be severely punished!
Huo Ying thought that Old Song had reported him to someone else, which was why Qian Zhen had come to question him. Just as he was about to take the blame, he saw Qian Zhen turn and leave without a word.
"Hey, Old Qian, what do you mean? Are you really going to arrest him?"
Anyone could tell from Qian Zhen's expression that something was wrong. Old Song was his subordinate. Even if he had made a mistake, Huo Ying felt he bore full responsibility!
However, when he chased after him, he saw Qian Zhen had already ordered those beside him to pursue Old Song with all their might, dead or alive!
Huo Ying's face changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward to grab Qian Zhen.
"I say, have you eaten gunpowder today? It's not that big of a deal, yet you've issued a kill order!"
Qian Zhen turned back and stared coldly at him, "Fortunately, Bureau Chief Lin is fine. If Bureau Chief Lin had any trouble, I would be the first to execute you!"
This time, Huo Ying finally realized that something was wrong.
"What exactly happened?"
Qian Zhen glanced around. They had chosen a mountainous forest with complex terrain to conceal their movements. The surrounding trees were dense, making it several times harder to hide than in other places!
Qian Zhen's gaze turned cold. Although Lin Qianqian had not mentioned Hei Biao on the phone, it was during a mission that she suddenly made such a call. As an experienced veteran, how could he not guess that something had happened!
It was only then that Qian Zhen said coldly to Huo Ying, "There's a traitor in the team, and Bureau Chief Lin discovered it. We don't know the situation inside. If Bureau Chief Lin is really in trouble, you'd better be ready to present your head!"
With that, Qian Zhen waved his hand and strode away, while Huo Ying stood there stunned for a long time.
After a while.
"Damn it!"
"Dig three feet into the ground to find Old Song!"
Only the core personnel truly understood Lin Qianqian's status. It had nothing to do with her background or position.
It was because only after Lin Qianqian took office did she become a leader who wholeheartedly worked on practical matters and pursued great deeds! Before her, anyone had to consider personal relationships and favors before making decisions.
Especially when dealing with the complex and influential gangs like the Green Gang, they were often timid, afraid of disrupting the plans of some big shot!
But ever since Lin Qianqian took office, all of that had changed. They no longer cared about personal relationships. As long as it was legal and compliant, they could proceed with their work freely!
Sometimes, they could even act first and report later!
For them, this was equivalent to shedding a layer of humiliation. They no longer had to look at anyone's face when working. Most importantly, this was just the beginning.
Having followed Lin Qianqian for a long time, they had also begun to understand that for Shangjing to achieve stability, Lin Qianqian was the best choice for a leader! Even after the airport incident, when she had angered and removed quite a few high-ranking officials.
But not a single person had objected. Instead, they had jointly petitioned the higher authorities not to blame Bureau Chief Lin, and Lin Qianqian's position was thus secured.
What she herself didn't know was that Elder Tie's extra care for her was also due to this.
It could be said that Lin Qianqian was a truly popular leader, and Huo Ying was no exception!
Not only him, but after the news spread that Old Song might be a traitor and had nearly killed Bureau Chief Lin, everyone in the military was filled with a murderous intent, frantically searching for Old Song's whereabouts.
Even passing wild boars were kicked a few times.
Within the small town.
The shop owner's eyes were sore from staring at his phone, still waiting for the call he wanted. He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Could that dead dog be trying to hog it all again?"
The more the owner thought about it, the more indignant he became. He had submitted two major orders, and there hadn't been a single response. Wasn't this too much of an insult?
However, at that moment, four figures suddenly rushed in from both sides of the door, with the last two skillfully closing it.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Before the owner could finish speaking, he was answered by a solid punch. The next second, the shop was filled with the muffled screams of the owner.
At this time, Li Chonglou finally waited for people from Lin Qianqian to arrive.
They were three experts at the third level. It seemed she had made preparations, but...
Li Chonglou looked at Lin Qianqian and asked in confusion, "You clearly brought experts with you, why didn't you let them go in together?"
Lin Qianqian sighed, "How could I have known the situation here was so complicated? They were also brought by me as a precaution."
