Chapter 1089 - Chapter 1089 Chapter 1045 Overnight Action
Chapter 1089: Chapter 1045: Overnight Action Chapter 1089: Chapter 1045: Overnight Action “Caught them?” Upon hearing this news, Nie Zhenbang was also somewhat surprised. The speed of Chen Le’s team was incredibly fast. It had only been a few hours, if that. Their work efficiency was indeed astonishing.
“They’re caught, a hired team of professional online trolls. Right in Hongcheng city district; this afternoon, we had just started tracing the previous IP address step by step. They were in the middle of posting new messages. Our people caught them red-handed–four individuals in total, the oldest twenty-five and the youngest twenty-one. They’re currently under interrogation,” Chen Le’s mood was obviously very good.
After such a major incident, Chen Le was extremely frustrated. There’s a saying that goes, ‘When the hide is gone, where can the hair attach itself?’; the relationship between Chen Le and Nie Zhenbang was a typical case of ‘prosperity shared, adversity also shared.’ If Nie Zhenbang fell on hard times, Chen Le’s future would be bleak. Hence, Chen Le’s mood at this moment was no less anxious than Nie Zhenbang’s.
Hesitating for a moment, Nie Zhenbang spoke up, “Good, Old Chen, this time you’ve made a great contribution. You must seize the time difference before the enemy’s behind-the-scenes backer has a chance to react, and capture them for me. The interrogation work must be expedited.”
After he had finished speaking, Nie Zhenbang added, “Start the interrogation right away on your side; I am coming over now.”
At this point, Nie Zhenbang could no longer sit still. He had a premonition that the mastermind behind the scenes might be a breakthrough.
Changing plans on the fly was not common in Nie Zhenbang’s experience, which indicated how greatly this incident had impacted him.
After hanging up the phone and stepping out of the room, Li Lixue’s gaze turned toward him, “Going out?”
Beside her, Yang Anna was sorting through vegetables and didn’t even lift her head, “Given the situation, it must be so.”
Dong Wan also emerged from the open kitchen, not speaking but looking toward Nie Zhenbang.
As he put on his jacket and took a set of car keys from the entryway, Nie Zhenbang nodded, “Chen Le has caught the people making posts. They’re currently undergoing interrogation, and I hope we can grasp the person behind the scenes. I’m going to take a look.”
The car was Li Lixue’s Mercedes. When Nie Zhenbang drove it to the Provincial Department of Public Security, he received a message that Chen Le was already waiting at the entrance.
Seeing the car, Chen Le came forward to greet him, helping Nie Zhenbang to open the car door, “Secretary, good news. These kids are by no means hardened elements. A simple interrogation was like spilling beans from a bamboo tube–they told everything. According to their confession, the person who contacted them is named Liu Zijian. Our investigation shows that Liu Zijian is one of He Miao’s lackeys. Now, it can be confirmed without a doubt that it was He Miao.”
Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang’s brow furrowed. Obviously, He Miao alone wouldn’t have the nerve for this; even his father, He Yusheng, wouldn’t dare to confront him outright, let alone He Miao. There must be others instigating this from behind.
However, at this moment, he couldn’t even arrest He Miao, let alone the person behind him. After pondering for a moment, Nie Zhenbang spoke seriously, “Old Chen, this is a matter of great importance. We must take action overnight to secure evidence that He Miao was the mastermind before the news leaks. Tonight, I will be here, waiting for your news.”
Nie Zhenbang’s words were firm with an irreversible determination. Having been in leadership for a long time, the qualities of a superior he had nurtured were evident, including a sense of resolute decisiveness.
Chen Le nodded, his expression grave and serious. As someone who had followed Nie Zhenbang from Lixian, despite a period when they weren’t together, Chen Le was very familiar with Nie Zhenbang’s character and nodded without hesitation, “Secretary Nie, rest assured, we will not let off anyone who deliberately spreads rumors and slanders the party and government leaders–we will show no mercy.”
…
Imperial Scenery Garden in Hongcheng City.
This was the most luxurious residential area in Hongjiang Province–second to none. Located next to the second ring road of Hongcheng City and backing onto Dahong Mountain, with the Hongjiang River winding in front, the area boasted exclusively single-family villas. With a comprehensive security system, this neighborhood was known as the most luxurious in the entire Hongjiang River area. The entire development covered more than 3,000 acres, yet there were only 300 standalone villas. That averaged out to about ten acres per villa.
It was a symbol of heritage and status.
Here, Chen Le personally led the team, with six police cars speeding towards Imperial Scenery Garden. Coming off the ring road, and down the ramp to Imperial Scenery Garden, a winding two-lane asphalt road stretched ahead, illuminated by the white streetlights on the roadside. Less than two miles ahead was the main gate of Imperial Scenery Garden.
The convoy stopped a mile before the main gate, and in front, by the roadside, was a civilian camera car with its door open. A man walked toward them.
Soon, he was brought before Chen Le; a man in his thirties, a plainclothes police officer. He looked at Chen Le, the head of the political and legal affairs in Hongjiang Province, seemingly excited, his voice trembling slightly, “Secretary Chen, we’ve clarified everything. Just now, Liu Zijian’s BMW X5 passed through here and entered the community. I’m certain he must be inside the area right now.”
Hearing the report, Chen Le nodded and turned to give orders, “Shortly, one car will enter directly into the security booth here, take control of the security personnel, the rest of you will come with me to arrest Liu Zijian. The subsequent legal procedures are all being processed. I believe there will absolutely be no problem.”
After a pause, Chen Le added, “The upcoming operation must be decisive and swift. At this moment, we cannot afford the slightest hesitation. Do you understand?”
“I understand.” Though their voices were kept low, the response was uniform and in unison. Being able to participate in an operation with the top brass of the political and legal affairs was an honor in itself. Having made an impression in front of the big boss, the chances for advancement had just arrived.
The motorcade continued on. Upon reaching the guardhouse, the first vehicle made a beautiful turn and parked on the side; four police officers quickly got out and entered the booth. In less than a minute, the boom gate of the booth was raised. The other vehicles drove straight in.
Liu Zijian’s villa was number 218. In the South, this was a very auspicious number, fully demonstrating Liu Zijian’s status and position.
After all, Imperial Scenery Garden was a project developed by Dadi Real Estate. The shadow boss behind it was He Miao, and considering the relationship between Liu Zijian and He Miao, it was quite normal for him to acquire such a villa.
The car silently stopped in front of villa No. 218, and Chen Le also got out of the car. Looking at the brightly lit villa, Chen Le gestured grandly, “Action.”
Dozens of individuals immediately rushed towards the villa upon receiving the order, breaking through the doors. Swiftly, they charged upstairs and as they entered, the sight of a kinky tableau met their eyes.
Then, piercing screams resonated from the room. Liu Zijian, upon seeing the uniformed police officers before him, showed no sign of panic on his face. After gathering himself and putting on clothes, he spoke in a deep voice, “Which unit are you from? Don’t you know what kind of place this is?”
Normally, such words might have caused some hesitation, but at that moment, Chen Le was standing right outside the door. It was time to show their mettle.
The leading police officer looked at Liu Zijian and declared sternly, “Liu Zijian, spare us your tricks. Right now, it doesn’t matter who you are, even if it were the Emperor himself, it would be useless; your foul play has been exposed. Spreading malicious rumors, slandering and libeling party and government leaders. You can handle the charges for this crime. Come with us.”
As those words fell, the speaking officer added, “Additionally, I forgot to tell you, those internet trolls you contacted have already been apprehended by us, and they have confessed to the criminal acts they committed under your instructions.”
This statement caused Liu Zijian’s demeanor to deflate completely. He knew his own affairs well. What he did this time was an act of smearing the leading figure of the provincial committee. He should have expected such an outcome today.
Liu Zijian was quickly taken away, and even the woman he had brought home tonight was temporarily detained for confidentiality reasons.
The motorcade roared back toward the Provincial Department of Public Security. Liu Zijian was quickly brought into an interrogation room.
As the most advanced interrogation room of the Hongjiang Provincial Department of Public Security, it was the most standardized and exemplary in the public security system.
In the spacious room, four cameras were installed in each corner to ensure no blind spots existed within.
At that moment, Chen Le personally participated in the interrogation, facing Liu Zijian with the provincial bureau’s interrogation experts stepping in. The pressure was enough to make Liu Zijian tremble.
Next door to the interrogation room, Nie Zhenbang sat accompanied by several leaders from the provincial bureau. From there, the inside of the interrogation room could be clearly seen through the specially-made glass wall.
Now, a silence hung in the interrogation room. After a substantial pause, granting an immense psychological onslaught and pressure, the interrogating expert finally slowly began, “Liu Zijian, do you have anything to say?”
Upon entering here, Liu Zijian’s initially flustered heart had gradually calmed down. Although he was a dissolute playboy, he had been exposed to the greater world.
Glancing inadvertently at the people before him, Liu Zijian was very clear that this time, he had probably been thwarted. Obviously, these people’s goals were not focused on him, but rather on the person behind him. However, Liu Zijian knew very well that there were some things he could say, but others he absolutely could not. If he did speak, he would likely die even faster.
A trace of confusion flickered across Liu Zijian’s face as he looked at Chen Le and the others, saying, “Say what?” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote and support on Qidian, where your support is my greatest motivation.)
