Bail is granted to those accused of less serious crimes, who do not require detention or arrest but need certain restrictions on their movement.
The criminal suspect can provide a security deposit or a guarantor who issues a letter of guarantee, ensuring that they will not obstruct or evade responsibility and will appear when summoned.
Qin Chuan was in a situation perfectly suited for such a measure. The first thing he told Chen Jinyu was to call Ye Meiyun and the others to arrange his bail.
For Qin Chuan, the greatest constraint at the moment was the loss of freedom and the absence of any communication devices, which was extremely fatal.
As the leader of a team, losing freedom and communication devices, and being without any close associates, was akin to a fierce tiger having its limbs severed, with a significant impact.
In the office, Zhou Congrong remained calm as a large group from Xinhua Electronics Factory appeared before him.
After a brief exchange, he summoned Xiao Guodong and instructed him to handle the procedures.
The entire process was unexpectedly smooth, as if Zhou Congrong had long been anticipating this situation.
"Thank you, Bureau Chief Zhou!"
Ye Meiyun and the others expressed their gratitude and departed. Zhou Congrong sat in his office, smoking a cigarette, his eyes deep like a vortex.
More than ten minutes later, the office door was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and an enraged figure stormed in, standing before Zhou Congrong and slamming his hand on the desk:
"Who authorized you to let Qin Chuan go?!"
Zhou Congrong raised his eyelids slightly, looking at Nan Hongya, whose face was burning with anger:
"I am the deputy bureau chief. Is a simple bail beyond my authority?"
Nan Hongya glared at Zhou Congrong with bloodshot eyes.
Zhou Congrong met his gaze calmly, neither of them backing down.
After an unknown amount of time, Nan Hongya sneered, "Fine! Very good. It seems you are no longer hiding your ambition, wanting to remove the 'deputy' from your title."
"But I'm telling you, Zhou Congrong, you're still too early to expect to take my position."
"Believe it or not, as long as I'm here, you'll never take another step up!"
Zhou Congrong's expression turned icy, "That remains to be seen!"
"Certain individuals have indulged in corrupt dealings for personal gain over the years, ultimately creating significant hidden dangers for themselves."
"Hmph!"
Nan Hongya turned and left.
Watching Nan Hongya storm away in anger, Zhou Congrong lit another cigarette and took a deep drag. After a long pause, he muttered to himself, "Qin Chuan, you better not disappoint me!"
As the saying goes, where there are people, there is a world, and there is struggle. The police station is certainly not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.
While Qin Chuan and Han Shifei were locked in a life-or-death struggle, more brutal battles were unfolding elsewhere, some even more dangerous than real combat.
The flap of a butterfly's wings can alter the climate of a region. Qin Chuan and Han Shifei's conflict also represented the underlying struggle between the forces behind them.
However, the ultimate victor remained unknown.
Meanwhile, after being granted bail and leaving the police station, Qin Chuan immediately rushed to the hospital.
As he had expected, it was being monitored.
Not only were there police officers present, but also people from Han Shifei's side lurking in the shadows. The entire hospital was like a scene from a spy thriller.
Qin Chuan's sudden appearance startled many. No one had expected him to be released so quickly, and to look so energetic and unharmed.
"Mr. Qin... Mr. Qin, please stop!"
Seeing Qin Chuan approaching with a group of people, a police officer bravely blocked his path.
"I want to visit my brothers," Qin Chuan said.
"Mr. Qin, we are just ordinary foot soldiers, at the very bottom. We can't afford to offend either side!"
This police officer spoke wisely and pleaded for sympathy: "Please pity us small fry. If you let him in, we'll lose our positions."
"The chief has issued a strict order that no one is allowed to visit."
Qin Chuan stared at the officer. Just as the man was about to break down from nervousness, Qin Chuan suddenly shouted loudly: "Big Brother, Second Brother, Xiaoguang, Yao Dong, can you hear me! I'm back!"
From the hospital wards across the courtyard, four men, each placed in a separate room, simultaneously dropped whatever they were doing upon hearing the familiar voice and hurried to the window.
"Xiao Chuan, is that you?!"
"Third brother, you're back!!"
"Boss, we're here!"
"Boss!!!"
Qin Chuan shouted across the courtyard, "Yes, it's me, I'm back!"
"Everyone, relax and eat well here. Consider it a vacation!"
"I'll handle everything outside!!"
In their rooms, Qin Yang, Qin Gang, Bai Xiaoguang, and Yao Dong, upon hearing this, showed unconcealed excitement and emotion.
Qin Chuan's sudden return was undoubtedly the most potent medicine for them, finally putting their anxious hearts at ease after a sleepless night.
"What about Brother Dao? How is he?" Yao Dong shouted, asking.
"Brother Dao is still inside, but rest assured, we'll all be reunited soon enough." Qin Chuan replied.
"Okay, Boss, we'll await your good news," Bai Xiaoguang called back.
Qin Chuan left, as潇洒 as he had arrived.
However, his appearance was like a bombshell thrown into a calm lake, igniting the entire body of water.
After leaving the hospital, Qin Chuan contacted Chen Jinyu immediately. Upon hearing that Qin Chuan had been released from the police station, Chen Jinyu was so happy he almost jumped for joy.
No one knew how much pressure he had been under since receiving such a heavy responsibility early that morning, so much so that he had pulled out a considerable amount of his hair.
They met at the construction site, along with several other brothers, such as San Mao, Er Gou, Wang Guohua, and Feng Ping. There were about seven or eight of them in total.
These men could be considered elite members, introduced by Bai Xiaoguang, Yao Dong, and others later on.
In the past, they were the ones who usually went out to gather information, collect intelligence, or handle other tasks.
However, Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong had overshadowed them. Now that the front-line members were in trouble, these individuals were of great use.
"Now, my only request is to quickly gather information on Han Shifei's personnel. See if anyone has mysteriously disappeared or taken leave since last night."
"As soon as you find anything, report it to me immediately!" Qin Chuan was direct and assigned the most crucial task.
"Especially that Zhang Wenbo. He is Han Shifei's most loyal old dog. Han Shifei entrusts him with all his important matters. Investigate the people around this old dog carefully."
After speaking, he took out two thick stacks of cash from his bag and placed them on the table, totaling twenty thousand yuan.
"This money is for your hard work, brothers. You can split it equally."
"If anyone performs exceptionally well and makes a significant discovery, there will be further rewards later!"
