Chapter 786 Magnolia
Bai Lanyu continued to speak, her voice clear and firm: "According to the intelligence obtained by the National Security Bureau, foreign forces are trying to infiltrate Handong's key industries through a series of complex financial operations and business layouts. We must cut off their capital chain and information channels at the source so that they can no longer stir up trouble."
Zhang Xiaofeng pushed up his glasses and looked at the economic data report in his hand and said, "From the perspective of economic crime investigation, their money laundering methods are very covert, involving many shell companies and cross-border transactions. We need to work with Interpol to comprehensively track the flow of these funds and freeze their illegal assets."
Afterwards, the meeting entered a heated discussion session, with personnel from various departments putting forward their own opinions and action plans. Some suggested strengthening monitoring of ports and borders in Handong to prevent illegal inflows of personnel and materials from foreign forces; others proposed a comprehensive investigation of companies associated with criminal gangs to find more evidence of crimes from commercial activities.
After several hours of discussion, a detailed and comprehensive action plan for eliminating gangsters and evil was finally formulated. Bai Jingyu stood up and solemnly announced: "The action will start immediately. All departments must cooperate closely and strictly implement the tasks without any omissions. We must submit a satisfactory answer to the people of Handong and the people of the whole country."
At the same time, Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping had new hope after learning about the actions of their superiors. They were invited to a meeting with Bai Jingyu, Bai Lanyu and Zhang Xiaofeng.
When they walked into the conference room, the three main figures stood up to greet them. Bai Jingyu smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand: "Director Hou, Mr. Qi, I have heard of your names for a long time. You have suffered a lot in recent times to expose the evil forces. Thank you for your hard work."
Hou Liangping quickly shook Bai Jingyu's hand and said, "Minister Bai, this is what we should do. We are very pleased to receive the attention and support from the higher authorities."
Qi Tongwei also said excitedly: "Yes, we have always believed that justice will not be absent, it just comes a little late."
Bai Lanyu smiled and said, "The evidence you provided is very crucial and has pointed out the direction for our actions. Next, we need your continued cooperation to completely eradicate these evil forces."
Zhang Xiaofeng also added: "In terms of economic investigation, we still have to rely on the clues and experience you have accumulated before. I hope we can work together."
After a brief greeting, everyone began to discuss the specific details of the cooperation. Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping shared some of the key clues and findings of their investigations during this period with the three main figures without reservation. They also put forward some suggestions on how to better carry out investigations and evidence collection in Handong, which were recognized by Bai Jingyu and others.
As the campaign to eliminate gangsters and evil forces was fully launched, police and law enforcement officers appeared in the streets and alleys of Handong. According to the plan formulated at the meeting, they raided various bases of gangsters and evil forces. In an operation against a money laundering den of gangsters and evil forces, the police successfully arrested several suspects and seized a large amount of cash and account books, which became important evidence for accusing gangsters and evil forces.
In terms of international cooperation, with the assistance of Interpol, the connection between foreign forces and Handong's evil forces has been gradually cut off. Their funds have been frozen and the relevant personnel have been included in the international wanted list.
Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping also actively participated in this operation. With their familiarity with the local situation in Handong, they assisted the police in finding some deeply hidden criminal evidence. In a dangerous undercover operation, Hou Liangping went deep into the underworld forces and obtained the latest intelligence on their collusion with foreign forces, providing strong support for subsequent crackdown operations.
I thought the campaign to eradicate gangsters and eliminate evil was about to end successfully, but fate once again brought a storm. One day, Hou Liangping hurried to Qi Tongwei's office, holding a document tightly in his hand, his face as solemn as the sky before a storm.
"Qi Tongwei, you've been targeted!" Hou Liangping slammed the document on the table. The first page of the document was printed with the words "assassination list", and Qi Tongwei's name was prominently listed. Qi Tongwei's pupils shrank suddenly, and he slowly picked up the document and read it word by word. The expression on his face changed from shock to anger, and finally to a kind of determination.
"I knew that those evil forces would not give up," Qi Tongwei said in a low voice, gritting his teeth. Hou Liangping paced back and forth in the office, anxious: "Old Qi, you have to leave quickly! Find a safe place to hide and wait until the storm is over. I have arranged everything and will leave tonight."
Qi Tongwei stood up suddenly, threw the documents back on the table, and shouted: "I won't leave! Everyone has their own responsibilities. I have participated in the anti-gang campaign and have never been afraid of these things. What's the point of running away now?" Hou Liangping stopped and looked at him in disbelief: "Are you crazy? This is an assassination! They will not show mercy. You will die if you stay!"
"So what? If I leave, will the evil forces let go of the people around me? I can't put my family and friends in danger because of my own safety." Qi Tongwei's eyes revealed determination and persistence. He thought of his wife, children, and colleagues who fought alongside him in the anti-gang campaign.
Hou Liangping was angry and anxious. He grabbed Qi Tongwei's shoulders with both hands and shook him hard: "You are stupid! You can continue to fight them if you are alive. If you die, you will have nothing!" Qi Tongwei was unmoved. He pried Hou Liangping's hands apart and softened his tone: "Liangping, I know you are doing this for my own good, but there are some things I must face."
The two of them were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed to ignite the air. Hou Liangping knew that once Qi Tongwei made a decision, no one could change it. He sighed helplessly, sat down again, and said calmly: "Then let's work together to find a solution. We can't just sit there and wait for death."
Qi Tongwei nodded, and the two began to analyze the current situation. They found that behind this assassination list was a remnant of evil forces struggling to survive, and they wanted to disrupt the police deployment by getting rid of Qi Tongwei, which was also a revenge for the anti-gang operation.
"These people still have some undiscovered criminal evidence, and they want to use it to threaten us and make us stop investigating." Qi Tongwei frowned and tapped the table lightly with his fingers. Hou Liangping pondered for a moment and said, "We can't be led by them. The most urgent task is to find this evidence and completely destroy their last line of defense."
