In Qinghe City, there are not many people who can make the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Xie Zixiang, change his face color. Apart from the municipal party committee leaders, they are the opposing faction within the public security system itself.

  The unexpected guest who appeared in the telescope was one of Xie Zixuan's arch-enemies within the Public Security Bureau, Guo Qijun, Director of Qinghe District Public Security Branch, and his trusted subordinate, Xiao Jiannan, Captain of Qinghe District Branch Criminal Investigation Team.

  Kuo Qijun, nearly fifty years old, slender build, wearing glasses, but with a majestic and overbearing presence, stood at the car door, one hand on his hip, the other holding a walkie-talkie, loudly issuing commands.

  "Surround them and don't let a single one escape."

  About twenty police officers quickly divided into three groups, with two groups surrounding the "Hao Zai Lai" noodle shop from both sides, and the third group rushed in with lightning speed.

  A nearly forty-year-old plainclothes policeman, tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, walked to Guo Qijun's side from another car.

  "Director Guo, seems like you're from the Municipal Bureau."

  He is Xiao Jiannan, head of the criminal investigation team at Qinghe Branch Bureau.

  As he spoke, he pointed at a medium-sized bus parked by the roadside with its windows covered with curtains.

  Kuo Chi-chun snorted, "Are you afraid?"

  "You're not afraid, what am I afraid of?" Xiao Jiannan said loudly.

  "It was someone from the Municipal Bureau." Guo Qijun said in a low voice.

  This is under the jurisdiction of Qinghe Branch Bureau, crossing borders to enforce the law without prior notification, Guo Qijun took action to arrest people, reasonable and lawful but not in line with emotions.

  The Municipal Bureau and Qinghe Branch Bureau have had many "misunderstandings" like this, each time the Municipal Party Committee's Political and Legal Committee stepped in and settled the matter with a slap on the wrist.

  Guo Qijun's reputation is solid, one of the top ten heroes of the Ministry of Public Security, a national model worker in public security, and a representative of the National People's Congress.

  The secretary of the municipal party committee is a guy who always takes the initiative to greet everyone he meets. He dares to provoke others, but others generally don't dare to provoke him back.

  Guo Qijun hadn't figured out that the people from the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Brigade were handling the case, but as soon as he entered the antique market, he saw through it. He just went along with the mistake.

  A dragon can't suppress the head of a snake, Guo Qijun didn't become the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, but he willingly came to Qinghe Branch as the director. After that, Xie Zixiang, this coastal man, really couldn't do anything about him, this Qinghe man.

  The big brother's phone rang.

  "Which one?"

  He looks like an intellectual, but Guo Qijun has always had a loud voice.

  "Old Guo, I am Xie Zixuan."

  It's a call from Xiaozhe.

  "Oh, it's Director Xie, what instructions does Director Xie have?"

  Guo Qijun's tone was devoid of even a hint of politeness.

  It was Xie Zixuan who spoke up, sounding quite polite, "I say Old Guo, the Municipal Bureau is carrying out a task in the antique market, what brings you here to join in on the fun?"

  "Sorry, we didn't receive any notice from the city bureau, and we are also on a mission at the antique market."

  As he spoke, Guo Qijun stretched out his hand and made a gesture towards Xiao Jiannan beside him.

  Xiao Jiannan intuitively sensed something and turned around to grab a pair of binoculars from the car, quickly scanning their surroundings.

  He caught sight of Xie Zixuan and Yu Feilong standing by the window on a high-rise building not far away.

  "Director Guo, there's someone else with him, seems to be Yu Feilong from the Municipal Construction Bureau." Xiao Jiannan whispered in Guo Qijun's ear.

  Kuo Ch'i-chun's face turned cold: "You're a sly one, Hsieh Tzu-hsuan! You must be working on some private deal!"

  "Old Guo, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. Look, are we...?" said Xie Zixiang in the big brother's room.

  Kuo Qijun interrupted Xie Zixuan's words.

  "Thank you, Director. I'm busy with official duties and the situation is urgent, I need to hang up now. After completing my task, I will report back to the Municipal Bureau."

  After finishing speaking, Guo Qijun hung up the phone and threw the mobile phone to a policeman behind him, then turned around and roared at Xiao Jiannan.

  "Damn it, hurry them up, a few little rascals, is it worth the trouble?"

  Xiao Jian Nan didn't dare to slack off, responded with a "yes", turned around and ran towards the Hao Zai Lai noodle shop.

  A policeman ran over.

  "Report to Director Guo, according to the report from citizens, we found two people lying unconscious in a nearby alley."

  "What's going on?" Guo Qijun didn't even turn his head.

  "One of them looked like a city official, and the other was a hoodlum often seen hanging around the train station," the policeman said in a low voice.

  "Take them all back." Guo Qijun sat back in the car.

  The operation ended quickly and Qinghe District Public Security Sub-Bureau returned with a full load.

  On the bus, Guo Qijun asked: "Jian Nan, do you know what Xie Zixu is doing?"

  Xiao Jiannan said, "Director Guo, according to our people in the municipal bureau, Xie Zixiang has been very busy lately. He and his close friend Yu Feilong have been at odds with a young man named Xiang Tianliang. And Yu Zhonghao hasn't been idle either. It seems that something has happened at the Construction Bureau."

  Guo Qijun nodded, "Do you know the origin of Xiang Tianliang?"

  "I'm sorry, I didn't know."

  "Talented, from the coastal area of Beijing, undergraduate high-achiever at the Capital Police University, received special training, assigned to our city this year, but was snatched away by Xie Zixiang and Yu Feilong to the Construction Bureau, and his assigned quota was replaced by Xie Zixiang's daughter."

  Xiao Jianan sighed and said: "What a pity! The Municipal Bureau doesn't want it, we can take it in."

  "It's a pity, I also went to the municipal party committee organization department to handle things just the day before yesterday and only heard about it then."

  Xiao Jiannan's heart skipped a beat, "Director Guo, you're very concerned about Xiang Tianliang."

  Kuo Ch'i-chün smiled slightly, "That's right, this Tui T'ien Liang is very likely to be the lethal weapon that defeated Hsieh Tzu-hsüan."

  "Will the Municipal Bureau's action today also have something to do with Xiang Tianliang?"

  "When Yu Feilong appears, it's probably 80% or 90% related to Xiang Tianliang. That emergency call was likely made by Xiang Tianliang."

  "Director Guo, what's your basis for saying that?"

  Kuo Ch'i-chun smiled and said: "According to the informant, Zheng Junbo, the dog leg of Hsieh Tzu-hsiang, was sent to the hospital by Hsiang T'ien-liang. And today, not only did Hsieh Tzu-hsiang come in person, but Yu Chung-hao also came, and a group of social thugs came too. And this Hsiang T'ien-liang has also arrived here."

  "Haha, lively enough." Xiao Jiannan also laughed and said.

  "Jian Nan, the owner of Qingyuan Antique Shop, Zhang Zhongnian is a friend of Yu Feilong. Yu Feilong and Xie Zixiang are in cahoots with each other. Today's incident must be related to Zhang Zhongnian. You have someone tailing me."

  "Yes."

  Qinghe District Public Security Sub-Bureau's motorcade left with six "suspects".

  On the high-rise building, Xie Zi's face was filled with a helpless and bitter smile.

  The municipal and district bureaus take joint action, with the municipal bureau taking the lead. The municipal bureau does not make contact, and the two sides' actions conflict without a coordinator coming forward. The municipal bureau has no way to control the district bureau on its own turf, executing tasks after prior notification is an iron discipline.

  It's his own business, what does he have to do with Guo Qijun?

  "We're old, we've failed."

  Yu Feilong couldn't help but smile bitterly, seeing things that can't be done in the sunlight, failing and having to swallow it.

  As long as we have green hills, we won't be afraid of running out of firewood. But if Guo Qijun gets a hold of our weakness, then we're completely done for.

  At this time, the pager in Xie Zixuan's hand rang.
