Victory Report

  "Hey, I'm asking you, how are we going to handle this? This time it's all up to you."

  "Alright, alright..." Lin Qiang patted his head and looked around at the little sisters who were all squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands crying. He felt a bit unbearable. For minors, let's give them another chance, after all they didn't do anything out of line, just accompanied people for drinks, being caught and sent to reeducation through labor would ruin their lives. I believe this time they've learned their lesson too.

  Lin Qiang said to the police officer beside him after getting Hu Xiao's permission, "Hardworking brother, check their identities. For those under 18 years old, educate them well and let them go on the spot. Do a good job of keeping their identities confidential."

  "This...," the police officer hesitated, "at least...shouldn't we notify the school or parents?"

  As soon as the police officer said this, the girls cried even harder and begged repeatedly.

  "Please... don't tell my parents..."

  "We know we were wrong."

  "I don't dare anymore..."

  ……

  Lin Qiang couldn't take it anymore and hugged the police officer, saying: "Give them a chance, they're all quite young."

  "Alright." The policeman sighed and smiled, "This time you're the captain, everyone has to listen to you."

  "Thanks, brother," Lin Qiang said immediately. "For the older ones, it's suitable to take them back and educate them a bit, force out some confessions, and be lenient with them. They're just after money, let them confess the mastermind's crimes and that's it."

  "Alright." The police officer nodded again and helplessly spread his hands, "These people are also lucky to have met a captain as kind-hearted as you."

  Just then, Lin Qiang glanced at the corridor and saw two police officers escorting two guests out of a nearby room. The two were none other than Hao Wei and Wang Jiaxin.

  The two of them hung their heads in shame, their faces ashen, and Hao Wei's glasses fell to the ground, not even daring to bend down to pick them up.

  "Cough..." Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he sternly said to the police officer beside him, "As for customers with ulterior motives, they know that there are underage hostesses here, but not only do they not report it, they also come here to consume. They must be severely punished! Tonight, notify their work units and families, and have their leaders come to sign and take them away."

  The policeman was stunned and couldn't understand what was going on, how did this guy suddenly become so ruthless again.

  Lin Qiang thought for a moment, then reminded: "Right, let's press him again to see if there are any cases of misusing public funds. Try to get it out and criticize him in front of the unit leaders. If the situation is serious, file a case and deal with it severely!"

  Hu smiled and laughed, probably guessing Lin Qiang's meaning. She walked forward and pushed the police officer: "Do as he says, press back one by one to review carefully, first seal off this place."

  "Alright." The police officer smiled helplessly and escorted Fang Qing out.

  As for Fang Qing, she kept shouting: "Thank you big brother! Thank you big brother! Big brother must help!"

  "You all go back first, we'll just grab a late dinner." Hu Xiao stretched her waist and said to the other police officers. Then she rubbed her belly and turned to Lin Qiang, "Let's go, I've helped you so much, don't I deserve to be treated to some snacks?"

  "This is necessary." Lin Qiang also felt grateful, fortunately Hu Xiao was easy to talk to, so he could complete the task ahead of schedule. Not only did he get a good pot, but he also caught two fat fish with ease. The only regret was that Zhang Jiaming was not there tonight, probably because he lost last time and didn't dare come again.

  "Go, Xiaojie says it's okay!"

  ……

  Outside the karaoke hall, a crowd had already gathered. They knew this place was not clean, but they didn't expect it to be so thoroughly busted. As they watched the police officers loading customer after customer and hostess into the police van, some applauded with glee, others secretly rejoiced, while still others felt somewhat regretful.

  Finally, as Lin Qiang and Hu Xiao walked out leisurely, the gate of Jintong Yunu Singing Hall was closed quietly, and two police officers came over to paste a long seal.

  The onlookers were just curious, wondering why those people had been caught while these two remained so calm. Lin Qiang was also afraid of running into bank clients who knew him, so he hastily threw his suit over his head and rushed into the alley next door with a forced smile.

  "What's there to be afraid of? You're an anti-vice officer, not a pimp!" Hu Xiao also hid under Lin Qiang's suit, chuckling with glee.

  "Hey, there's no place for entertainment around here, I'm so bored to death. Can't let them see me." Lin Qiang smiled with his tongue out, seeing that no one was following behind him, he put down his suit, "You think about what to eat first, I'll make a call to report our success."

  Hu smiled and understood, deliberately walking far away, not listening to Lin Qiang's phone call, and taking out his own phone to report the news.

  Lin Qiang first dialed Ling Lele's number. She must be nervous tonight, so let her have a good rest.

  The phone rang once and was answered, and Ling Lele's anxious voice came through: "How is it? Did Fang Qing agree?"

  "Haha, I have to agree, it's already been caught by the authorities, this song hall will be gone from now on, you can rest assured." Lin Qiang said with a relaxed and pleased tone.

  "What? Arrested?" Ling Lele was suddenly afraid, "Trouble... what if she gives me away."

  "She? Don't dare." Lin Qiang fed her another tranquilizer, "I've made it clear to the public security people, even if you expose me, they'll pretend not to hear."

  "You're so fierce?"

  "This... actually, it's your father who is formidable, Miss," Lin Qiang thought to himself, but found it inconvenient to say so, and could only force a reply, "This... the public security side still has some reliable friends."

  "It's great......it's great......" Ling Lele was also excited, "This way we don't have to be afraid anymore......"

  She laughed again: "You're too bad."

  "Still broken?"

  "Really? Even Fang Qing can't beat you, are you worse than her?"

  "There's no comparison between you and me."

  "In short... thank you, Uncle Lin... " Ling Lele said, her voice trembling with tears, "If it wasn't for you... I don't know how deep I would have fallen in... My dad would have scolded me to death."

  "Alright, calm down and let your emotions settle. This matter is over and done with, forget about it forever. Remember, don't reveal this to anyone."

  "Uh-huh, definitely."

  Lin Qiang hung up the phone and felt relieved, this matter was finally settled.

  Now that the big thing is done, it seems like it's time to ask for credit and reward. Lin Qiang immediately dialed Ling Chen's phone number in the early morning. These two father-daughter duos were almost identical, as Ling Chen also picked up the phone extremely quickly, even asking the same questions.

  "How's it going? Is Fang Qing being honest?"

  Lin Qiang just found it funny, this father and daughter were clearly paying attention to something, but they didn't know each other.

  "Don't worry, everything is taken care of. Fang Qing has already been caught. I'll use a reduced sentence as bait to get him to reveal the school's leadership, and at the same time, not mention anything about Lele."

  "Great! This trick of reducing sentence is always effective! Haha!!" Lingchen also burst out laughing on the other side, then a hint of worry flashed across his face, "Lele? Is everything okay?"

  "She didn't come today, and other students have been dismissed. I've already spoken with the police officer, let's keep this matter low-key and not give the news media a chance."

  "Great." Líng chén bào yǐ le kěndìng de yǔqì, "Xiǎo lín a, nǐ bàn shì guǒrán ràng rén fàng xīn, gāi xiǎngdào de dōu xiǎngle, wǒ méi jiāodài de yě zuò le."

  Translation:

  "Great," said the morning paper with certainty. "Little Lin, you're really reliable when it comes to handling things. You've thought of everything that needs to be considered and even done what I didn't ask for."

  Lin Qiang modestly declined: "It's not my ability at all, it's all because you can mobilize the police force, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do anything."

  "It can't be said like that." Ling Chen said solemnly, "Leaders are always the decision-makers. Whether or not to complete tasks successfully still depends on the ability of the executor."

  Lin Qiang was praised by Ling Chen to the point of being a bit overwhelmed, and his heart was also floating. He then asked: "Fang Qing is already our mouthpiece, we can let her reveal the evidence we want. The next interrogation will depend on your intention, whether to punish severely or leniently, and also whether to involve the school leaders."

  "This matter, wait a bit longer, temporarily detain for now." Ling Chen thought to himself, "Wait until Lele transfers schools, then expose the school's trash."

  "Alright, if you need help with anything, just let me know."

  "Hehe, I'll just give you a heads up next time, thanks again this time." After thanking him with satisfaction in the early morning hours, he changed his tone and said somewhat helplessly, "Little Lin... now that this matter is settled, I originally wanted to transfer you to the audit office for development, but... your identity... is really inconvenient."

  Lin Qiang was also quite shocked, he didn't expect that Ling Chen would be so generous in the early morning and actually planned to directly pull him into officialdom, still in a department that people fear. But he also knew that people from banks are not suitable for entering the Audit Office and Banking Regulatory Commission, this way it's inevitable that they will favor their original bank, this is also an unwritten rule.

  "It's okay, you asked me to go but I didn't dare to go, there is still a mortgage here." Lin Qiang said with an awkward smile.

  "Oh... mortgage... that's quite a hassle." Upon hearing this, even Ling Chen started scratching his head, "You've helped me so much, I really don't know what to do to thank you... and with our identities being sensitive, it's not good to send gifts either."

  Lin Qiang's mind moved and he knew the timing was ripe. He thought of thanking himself in the wee hours, this was a test for himself to see if there were any pressing needs.

  Not to mention, it's really there.

  "Ling Si Chang, I really have an impolite request..."

  "Don't worry, I won't break discipline, I'll definitely help."

  "It's like this, I suspect that a few people in our company have been embezzling small amounts of money and I want to investigate privately, but I don't plan on making a big deal out of it."

  "Hmm..." Lingchen responded, "I understand, after all you're from the bank and don't want to make a scene, hoping to resolve it privately. As someone in charge of auditing, this kind of thing is quite sensitive for me."

  "This..." Lin Qiang felt a bit disappointed, it seemed that Ling Chen was no longer willing to help.

  "But I can pretend I don't know." Ling Chen chuckled in the early morning, "This is nothing, it doesn't even count as helping. Alright, tomorrow I'll give you an auditor's contact information, if you want to investigate someone just tell him directly."

  After a moment of silence after finishing speaking in the early morning, he reminded: "If it's an official above the department level or a military personnel, you'd better ask me first."

  "Don't worry, it's not even worth mentioning at the deputy level."

  "It's all trivial matters, just let him investigate."

  He hung up the phone, Lin Qiang secretly rejoiced in his heart, having thanked Ling Chen ten thousand times. For Auditor Ling Chen, auditing those financial documents and reports was just routine work, his authority was immense, this didn't count as anything. But for Lin Qiang, this was a crucial source of intelligence, as long as he could aim accurately, grab the evidence, anyone he wanted to deal with would be dealt with.

  Unless that person has no evil intentions at all.

  As for Hao Wei... I'm afraid there won't be too few scandals, and just now another one has been added - **attempted.
