Chapter 2964 Everyone Dies Together

"And why are you coming to me about this? This is the work of the Public Security Bureau; it's an operation they're carrying out. Although I'm the mayor, this is judicial work. They're just cracking down on crime and performing their duties according to the law. How can I interfere?"

“Secretary Jiang, you are the Party Secretary of the Municipal Committee and also the direct superior of the Public Security Bureau. If you really want to interfere with the law enforcement actions of the Public Security Bureau, you can just contact the Public Security Bureau directly. I don’t understand why you are calling me.” Qin Feng spoke eloquently, and he was openly and implicitly accusing Jiang Longjun of interfering with police law enforcement and judicial work.

"I also want to inform Secretary Jiang that the police operation has already begun, and the casino has been shut down. Even if Secretary Jiang wanted to stop it, he has already forgotten about it," Qin Feng added at the end.

Silence followed by increasingly heavy breathing came from the other end of the phone, clearly indicating that Jiang Longjun was extremely angry.

"Qin Feng, what exactly do you want to do?" Jiang Longjun asked through gritted teeth.

“Secretary Jiang, I did nothing. I said that the Public Security Bureau was carrying out normal law enforcement operations. This has nothing to do with me. I am the mayor, not the director of the Public Security Bureau.”

"Is it interesting to keep talking about this? I just want to ask you, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you planning to tear the sky down over Shazhou and the entire Ganliang Province?" Jiang Longjun questioned Qin Feng loudly again.

"My little schemes really didn't escape Secretary Jiang's eyes. Yes, Secretary Jiang guessed right. I don't know if I can break through the sky in Ganliang, but I'm sure I'll break through the sky in Shazhou. If someone wants me dead, then I'll break through the sky, and then we'll all die together," Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Qin Feng, you're insane! Who wants you dead? Get Jiang Yunpeng to bring him out right now, and everything is negotiable. I'm calling Yang Guoqiang..."

"No need to trouble the mayor, I just finished having dinner with Yang Guoqiang," Qin Feng interrupted Jiang Longjun.

Jiang Longjun's side immediately fell silent.

After a long while, Jiang Longjun finally spoke: "Tell me the truth, what exactly do you want?"

"Secretary Jiang, it's not about what I want, but what you want, or rather, what you all want. Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone a person?"

"I'll say it again: although Shazhou is a dry, windy, and cold place, which isn't very friendly to a southerner like me, I really like this land and hope to do something practical for the people here. So I don't plan to leave here anytime soon."

"If Secretary Jiang thinks I'm a good person and a good partner, then let's work together peacefully to keep things going in Shazhou, at least so that outsiders can see that Shazhou is still a place of glitz and glamour."

“If Secretary Jiang doesn’t want me to stay in Shazhou, then I don’t mind tearing off the veil that Secretary Jiang has been covering Shazhou with for so many years to whitewash the situation. If the sky falls, I won’t be the only one who gets crushed.”

“Someone is trying every possible way to kill me, so I can only drag things out as long as I can before I die. Secretary Jiang, don’t you think so?” Qin Feng said with a smile.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Jiang Longjun fell silent again. After a long while, Jiang Longjun finally said, "Madman."

Then the phone went dead.

Qin Feng did not go home; instead, he drove to the municipal government.

At this time, although all the streetlights in the municipal government compound were on, it was also empty and quiet. The office buildings were dark, and apart from the security guards on duty, there were no outsiders.

Qin Feng's car was parked downstairs.

As soon as Qin Feng got out of the car, Zhang Xinming's cell phone rang.

“Mayor, it’s Vice Mayor Jiang,” Zhang Xinming replied.

"Okay." Qin Feng slowly went upstairs.

Zhang Xinming answered the phone, said a few words, and then handed the phone to Qin Feng.

"How's the situation?" Qin Feng asked as he went upstairs.

"Everything went smoothly. They didn't put up much resistance. Mayor, the scale of this underground casino is beyond my imagination," Jiang Yunpeng exclaimed.

"Let's report the results directly," Qin Feng said.

"Yes, a total of 72 people were arrested on the spot for participating in gambling, and 57 people were arrested for illegally operating a casino. More than 30 million yuan in gambling funds were seized, and more funds are still being counted. And this is just the cash."

"Furthermore, this involves not only gambling, but also prostitution, drug use, and other illegal activities. Moreover, these criminals who run casinos have also committed acts of violence and assault. We now suspect that they are directly related to multiple murder cases," Jiang Yunpeng reported.

Qin Feng, as the mayor, had no interest in such detailed case-handling procedures, and Jiang Yunpeng had no reason to report to Qin Feng. However, his detailed report to Qin Feng at this moment was for a specific purpose, as it was something Qin Feng had instructed him to do.

Cracking down on the casino only achieved half the goal. What Qin Feng wanted was evidence of illegal activities inside the casino, and the more serious the illegal activities involved, the better. That's why Jiang Yunpeng reported to Qin Feng what he had found in the casino as soon as possible.

"Is there any evidence?"

"Yes, we have found conclusive evidence for all of these things I mentioned. Moreover, if we dig deeper, we can find even more evidence and uncover more illegal and criminal activities. We have this lead firmly in our hands now," Jiang Yunpeng said with a smile.

“Very good, this is exactly the line we need. This line is our lifeline now. Is Yang Zhihao inside?” Qin Feng continued to ask.

"It's a pity they weren't there. They captured many of his men, but Yang Zhihao and that so-called Third Brother weren't there either. It's a real shame."

"Is there any evidence of Yang Zhihao and his third brother committing crimes?" Qin Feng continued to ask.

"Yes, of course there are, but not many of them concern Yang Zhihao. Most of them are about this third brother, since he's the one in charge."

"While investigating the casino and keeping a close eye on that lead, we should also issue a city-wide warrant for the arrest of this third brother. Make a big fuss about it, and it would be best to catch him. At the same time, use the things uncovered at the casino to monitor the entire city. Under no circumstances should Yang Zhihao be allowed to escape Shazhou, and at the same time, we should completely block the Yang family's DP business," Qin Feng instructed.

Jiang Yunpeng didn't quite understand Qin Feng's purpose in doing this, but he didn't ask unless Qin Feng told him, and he just did as Qin Feng instructed.

"Has anyone called you?" Jiang Yunpeng asked.

"Yes, many, including Secretary Jiang."

"what do you say?"

"I still haven't answered his call."

"Go call him back. Everything's fine now, don't worry. I'll take care of things for you, just focus on your own business." Qin Feng said and hung up the phone.
