Chapter 173: Chapter 140 Major Action (Four)

The cold wind whistled, and Binjiang Port No.3 Pier was brightly lit.

Due to the small scale of the Port Supervision Bureau’s fleet, it was impossible to gather so many people on their vessels, thus Director Jiang Xiaojun from the Criminal Investigation Department of Binjiang Port Police Station suggested that the law enforcement fleet coming from Bailong Port should directly dock here.

There were plenty of berths here, and the pier even had a container yard larger than a football field. It wasn’t a problem to accommodate six or seventy people, let alone six or seven thousand.

In fact, this was a 50,000-ton deep-water berth that Binjiang Port had invested heavily in!

Normally, even late at night, the pier would be bustling, with lorries hauling containers one after another and several large cranes continuously loading and unloading goods; it would have been impossible for a small boat like 001 to dock.

However, these past few days, due to the eel fishing vessels, cargo ships could not enter the port or dock, and could only anchor at an anchorage a dozen miles away.

Director Feng, who lived not far from the pier, came over in person late at night.

This area was under the jurisdiction of the Binjiang Port Police Station, and Director Chen was even closer. Given the significant operation about to commence, he too had to come to see it off.

Director Wei from Port District Bureau first stood with his police officers in the wind for twenty minutes on the Port Supervision’s ship, and when he heard the meeting location had changed, hurried here with his officers.

As soon as Director Jiang saw him, he smiled and asked, "Director Wei, why trouble yourself to come in person?"

"Our Director Du knows that Xu Sanye isn’t an easy one to handle, and knowing that I have a good relationship with Xu Sanye, who else if not me? If someone else came, who knows what Xu Sanye would turn it into."

"You all don’t have to come; this isn’t your affair."

"If it were only Xu Sanye, our Director Du wouldn’t bother with him. But the call came down from Scholar Yu, who’s not just a leader in the higher authority’s business guidance department but also the primary pen of the City Bureau. If we don’t show him respect, God knows how he’ll portray our subdivision in the report."

"Hahaha."

"You can actually laugh."

"I’m happy, of course I should laugh. If it weren’t for Xu Sanye and Scholar Yu, could such an operation be launched tonight?"

Director Wei couldn’t help laughing: "Right, those two are quite something: one is a nominal head of the Water Police Department and the other, a tucked-away police station chief, and yet they manage to pull off what even city leaders might not be able to."

...

Deputy Director Jiang from the City Agricultural Bureau, also in charge of fisheries, came over and immediately discussed with the two directors with substantial authority whether, after the arrest operation, they could organize a major clean-up against the vessels illegally fishing for eel fry in the waters of Binjiang Port and Tiansheng Port sluice.

Director Feng peered at the slowly approaching 001 in the harbor basin, then turned to look at the participating police officers from Binjiang Port Police Station and City Police Bureau Port District Bureau gathered in small groups, and spoke with profound implication: "Director Jiang, discussing this with me is useless."

"Then who should I talk to?"

Deputy Director Jiang, genuinely saddened by his subordinates who had been exhausted like dead dogs and constantly beaten up, instinctively looked towards Director Chen of Binjiang Port Police Station.

"Don’t look at me. Like I said, I don’t have the final say." Director Chen pointed at 001 in the distance and smiled, "The overall commander will be here soon, discuss it with the operation commander later."

Deputy Director Jiang curiously asked, "Who is the overall commander?"

"The director of Linghai Police Station by the Yanjiang, surname Xu, called Xu Sanye."

"Putting a police station director in charge of such a big operation, Director Feng, Director Chen, you’re not joking with me, are you?"

"Whether it’s a joke or not, you’ll find out soon."

"Really?"

"Let’s not talk about that now, is that Reporter Wang?"

"Seems like it, should be."

Wang Xiangguang interviewed the Fishery Administration, Port Supervision, sluice, and Binjiang Port Police Station this afternoon, and even joined the Fishery Administration’s law enforcement ship on the river for the entire enforcement process.

Although during the interview, he was jostled by a group illegally fishing for eel fry and nearly fell into the river, ruining his new clothes for the New Year, he got firsthand information and took dozens of valuable photos.

On the way back, he wrote his report on the Fishery Administration ship.

Soon after landing, he returned to his organization to report to the editor-in-chief, then urgently contacted People’s Daily’s editorial office...

Hearing about the upcoming major operation, after sending off his report, he called the freshly joined newcomer Xiao Ma, and without even changing clothes, they rushed over in a hurry.

Because the chief editor of People’s Daily instructed to keep an eye on the progress, further reporting was needed.

Whether the article written on the Fishery Administration ship in the evening would be published was unknown; now, nothing could be said.

However, what was certain was that the state-level major media were highly concerned about the ongoing events at the tail end of Yangtze River.

He parked his bicycle, was about to greet several directors with his camera in tow, when he saw the directors, as if by a collective instinct, look towards a distant berth.

Following their gaze, he saw a public security police officer, girded with a duty belt and holding a walkie-talkie, disembarking from a familiar-looking police law enforcement ship and striding towards them.

Immediately after, a slim police officer wearing a steel helmet, strapped with ammunition bags, carrying a submachine gun, and holding a briefcase quickly followed.

In contrast with the slim police officer, the one walking ahead looked rather tall.

He remembered then, that was the Law Enforcement Rescue Boat from Linghai Police Station by the Yanjiang, and the one following was Little Salted Fish...

Wang Xiangguang regained his senses and instinctively asked, "Director Jiang, who’s the one with glasses?"

"I don’t recognize him either. Director Feng, is that Xu Sanye?"

"It’s not."

Scholar Yu was the first one to disembark, even carrying the air of a leader. Director Feng thought he was seeing things.

Director Chen was also stunned until Scholar Yu walked up to him and saluted.
