Chapter 196 - 196 188 Captured Yan Bu'er

196: Chapter 188: Captured Yan Bu’er 196: Chapter 188: Captured Yan Bu’er “Take them all away and send them to the hospital for rehabilitation treatment!” Jiang Zhonggen commanded with a sweeping gesture.

“Yes!” The police quickly gathered clothes and dressed the young girls, inadvertently taking advantage during the process.

However, the girls felt nothing but gratitude towards the police.

Choked with emotion, they sobbed their thanks: “Thank you, thank you!”

A large number of girls were sent to a mental health rehabilitation center.

In the basement level two, more than ten firearms were discovered, along with a large quantity of white powder.

Here laid a hidden small-scale drug processing factory.

Large quantities of semi-finished drugs were delivered here, then further processed before the finished products were shipped out.

“Take Yan Bu’er away!” Jiang Zhonggen ordered coldly.

The news that Yan Bu’er was suspected of human trafficking, illegal arms possession, and drug smuggling quickly spread through Jianghuai City.

The first person to be frightened was Liu Jiangqiu, who woke up the next morning to find his phone about to explode with countless messages swarming in.

Almost all of these messages were about one thing: Yan Bu’er had been arrested.

“Damn, how could this happen!” Liu Jiangqiu was scared out of his mind.

In just one night, the sky over Jianghuai City had changed.

He immediately tried to phone Yan Bu’er, but the call wouldn’t go through, so he quickly called his secretary instead.

His secretary had almost stayed up the whole night and, upon receiving Liu Jiangqiu’s call, almost sighed with relief, “Secretary Liu, last night…”

The secretary hurriedly recounted the events of the previous night in detail.

“So, last night’s operation was approved by Jiang Zhonggen?” Liu Jiangqiu frowned.

“Yes!” The secretary nodded, saying, “Initially, Captain Zhang Yantong acted recklessly without superior approval to arrest Yan Bu’er, but as the situation escalated, it alarmed Director Liu, who immediately consulted Jiang Zhonggen…

and then it came to this!”

“Great, the situation has changed so quickly.

If I had slept for another hour, they might even have arrested me!” Liu Jiangqiu snorted coldly.

“Secretary Liu, what…

what should we do now?” asked the secretary anxiously.

“No rush, let Jiang Zhonggen be busy with it.

We’ll just watch the show from behind.

I really want to see what he plans to do!” Liu Jiangqiu said with a cold laugh.

“Yes, yes!” the secretary nodded quickly.

Yan Bu’er’s arrest immediately drew the attention of all the citizens of Jianghuai City and also caused media from Z Province to swarm toward Jianghuai City like a pack of wolves sniffing blood.

Inside the Public Security Bureau, there was active deliberation on how to explain the situation to the public.

After all, Yan Bu’er was an outstanding entrepreneur, philanthropist, and a member of the political consultative conference, draped with so many honorable titles; his sudden jailing was something the public couldn’t accept.

“Director Liu, what do you think we should do now?” Deputy Director Zeng said helplessly, shaking his head, “Yan Bu’er is a thorny character, very prickly, and if we handle this poorly, we might all be ousted.”

“Yes, Director Liu, we need to think this through carefully!”

“The things Yan Bu’er did don’t really affect us much; few citizens are aware.

Plus, with all the donations he’s made to Jianghuai City, building a new Hope Primary School every year, if we just arrest him like this, aren’t we losing the people’s hearts?”

The other deputy directors joined in the discussion.

Liu Qiang was also struggling internally, torn between Jiang Zhonggen’s demand to take Yan Bu’er down and Liu Jiangqiu’s indifference, leaving Liu Qiang uncertain about what to do.

An old hand in the political arena, he knew well that backing the wrong side could destroy his future.

Who was stronger, Jiang Zhonggen or Liu Jiangqiu, was something Liu Qiang had yet to figure out.

One was the top leader with great power and an imminent promotion to the Provincial Committee, which ostensibly made Jiang Zhonggen stronger than Liu Jiangqiu; however, Liu Jiangqiu’s influence was deeply rooted in Jianghuai City, and he was also the head of the Jianghuai Party.

Many department heads in Jianghuai City were close to Liu Jiangqiu, which undeniably added to his strength.

“Let’s hold off for now, and see how things play out externally!” Liu Qiang weighed up the options and finally decided to temporarily hold off any action.

Yan Bu’er was locked up in detention, and Zhang Yantong conducted interrogations night after night.

However, faced with a slippery character like Yan Bu’er, Zhang Yantong could hardly get a straight answer out of him.

Throughout the night’s questioning, Yan Bu’er always avoided the main issues, shifting all blame onto his underlings.

Meanwhile, right outside the police station, countless members of the Flame Dragon Gang were protesting.

“Release Mr.

Yan; we did those things, and you shouldn’t arrest people willy-nilly!”

“That’s right, release him quickly, or we’ll storm the police station!”

The outside underlings shouted frantically, each claiming responsibility and disassociating Yan Bu’er from any involvement.

Inside the police station, Zhang Yantong’s interrogation work had almost reached a stalemate.

After interrogating Yan Bu’er all night, Zhang Yantong was extremely tired.

Despite the dark circles under her eyes, she remained full of vigor.

Slap!

Zhang Yantong slapped the table and said in a stern voice, “Yan Bu’er, you’d better confess everything you’ve done, or else you’re in for it!”

“I say, Captain Zhang, even though your dad is the Provincial Party Secretary and as his daughter, you managed to become the team leader of the Criminal Police Team at such a young age, it’s bound to stir people’s imaginations,” Yan Bu’er remained unflustered and continued to retort Zhang Yantong’s words.

Zhang Yantong was just a student who had graduated a year ago, hardly a match for an old-hand in the worldly society like Yan Bu’er.

After a few rounds of sparring, Zhang Yantong was immediately infuriated to the point of spitting blood by Yan Bu’er’s insults: “Scoundrel, don’t spout nonsense, I became team leader on my own merit.”

“Ha ha…” Yan Bu’er immediately burst into laughter and said, “Is it because you simply spread your legs, and then the team leader position just fell into your lap?”

Zhang Yantong’s face turned from white to red, from red to purple.

She glared at Yan Bu’er and said in a cold voice, “Yan Bu’er, you son of a bitch!”

It is better to die with honor than to live with insult.

Zhang Yantong had the strength and dignity of a man in her bones.

There was no way she would let Yan Bu’er’s insults slide.

She swung her fists and hammered them down hard on him.

After a round of wild beating, the door of the interrogation room was flung open.

A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses immediately walked in.

He scolded sharply, “What’s going on, what’s going on, are you really abusing your authority and torturing him?

I’m going to sue you!”

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses immediately walked toward Yan Bu’er and said respectfully, “Mr.

Yan, they haven’t done anything to you, have they?”

“Can’t you see for yourself?” Yan Bu’er retorted with a bloodied face.

“Yes, yes!” The man with gold-rimmed glasses was Yan Bu’er’s private lawyer, who had been notified early in the morning and had hurried to the police station, witnessing the scene before him.

He immediately rebuked, “You police, don’t you have any respect for human rights?

I’m telling you, I’m going to court to sue you tomorrow!”

“Lawyer Qin, please, don’t be angry, we’re releasing Mr.

Yan right now, isn’t that enough?” Director Zeng, who was accompanying them, hurriedly tried to calm Lawyer Qin’s mood.

“Hmph, but we reserve the right to pursue this matter further.

We can’t just let this go!” Lawyer Qin said coldly.

“Yes, yes!” Vice Director Zeng quickly nodded.

Zhang Yantong, standing to the side, widened her eyes and said, “Deputy Director Zeng, how can we release him?

Yesterday, we caught so much evidence at the scene, so many young girls have been victimized, so many drugs and guns and ammunition…”

“Tongtong, those things have nothing to do with Mr.

Yan.

He knew nothing about these matters!” Deputy Director Zeng immediately glanced at Zhang Yantong and said, “Several people have already confessed, claiming that they were behind it, and this matter has been handed over to the Major Crime Unit Two.

You should take a few days off to rest!”

“Ah?!” Zhang Yantong was immediately dumbfounded, and not just her—actually, many people knew that Yan Bu’er was the real mastermind, and those so-called confessors were just his underlings, taking the fall for him.

But without direct evidence linking these crimes to Yan Bu’er, the police station had no choice but to release him.

Zhang Yantong gritted her teeth and said, “Director Zeng, we can go to the mobile hall and print out Yan Bu’er’s call logs, and we can keep investigating!”

“Enough!” Deputy Director Zeng scolded loudly, “Tongtong, that’s enough.

This matter is over; you take a few days off, and let the Major Crime Unit Two handle the investigation!”

“No, it can’t end like this!” Zhang Yantong cried out hysterically.

Yan Bu’er was thus released, walking out of the police station in broad daylight.

As he was leaving, he said to Zhang Yantong, “Captain Zhang, the older the ginger, the spicier it gets.

Don’t assume that evil cannot overcome the good.

Sometimes, justice can be contaminated by evil.

Understand?”

After saying that, Yan Bu’er turned around and left.

Outside the police station, over a hundred men dressed in black suits stood neatly on both sides of the road, a red carpet laid out with a Rolls-Royce at its end.

A little brother ran up, saying, “Boss Yan, welcome home!”

“You’ve all worked hard!” Yan Bu’er waved his hand.

“Boss Yan, you’ve worked the hardest!” The crowd shouted in unison.

Yan Bu’er’s mouth curled into a smirk.

He looked up at the sky.

The morning sun had just revealed a sliver of light, immediately obscured by dark clouds, casting a gloom over the sky.

Zhang Yantong sat dejectedly in her office, and no matter how her female colleagues tried to comfort her, nothing could wake her from the state of loss.

It was as if everything had never happened.

The Demon’s ringleader was let go, and only a few small fry were caught.

Under the interrogation of the Major Crime Unit Two, the small fry quickly confessed, admitting that they had kidnapped young girls behind Mr.

Yan’s back and turned them into sex slaves, then sent them off to various hotels.

As for the arms and drugs, they confessed quickly, but trafficking remained something they would not admit.

However, whether they confessed or not, sentencing was inevitable.

The entire police station fell silent, with everyone knowing that these three small fish were not the main problem—the real issue was that Yan Bu’er remained at large, an outcome that was hard to accept.

Yan Bu’er was taken by his underlings straight to Jinsheng Hotel, where Liu Jiangqiu had been waiting for a long time.

“Haha, Mr.

Yan, sorry for the scare!” Liu Jiangqiu laughed heartily.

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing!” Yan Bu’er, pleasantly surprised, quickly shook Liu Jiangqiu’s hand and said, “It’s all my own fault, keeping such a bunch of brats as underlings, daring to mess around behind my back.

I must sort them out when I return!”

“Haha, of course, of course!” Liu Jiangqiu laughed and said, “I’ve prepared a table full of food and wine today to welcome you!”

“Thank you, Secretary Liu,” Yan Bu’er said with a faint smile.
