The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 299 Director Qin, you'd better be careful later!

With about twenty minutes to go before the meeting started, Zhou Xuexi and Qin Chuan, though seated apart, were still able to converse.

"Director Qin, everyone says that heroes emerge from among the young, but your progress has truly impressed us and is beyond our reach."

Zhou Xuexi knew that Qin Chuan's future was bright and promising, but he never expected that Qin Chuan would reach a position on equal footing with him in less than a year.

No, they can't be considered equals now. They only have the same rank, but their status within the Xing'an City Public Security Bureau system is completely different.

Zhulin County ranks at the bottom in Xing'an City as a whole, with a poor economy, which has led to a decline in its other statuses.

The High-tech Zone Branch is different.

"Director Zhou, given our relationship, you're being too formal by saying that."

Unlike when he first joined the company, Qin Chuan now treats Zhou Xuexi with more respect and affection.

"Hey Director Zhou, don't leave tonight. Let's have dinner together. And you know Zhang Jun from the Criminal Investigation Brigade? He came to the High-tech Zone Branch with me and he's doing pretty well now."

Although Qin Chuan has now been promoted to the position of director of the High-tech Zone Branch, to be honest, he doesn't know many people in the Xing'an City Public Security Bureau.

Of course, Qin Chuan is very familiar with Xing'an City. He grew up here, went to high school here, and attended police academy here.

"Okay, I'll go see your mother after the meeting."

Qin Chuan's mother was in a car accident because of a case in Zhulin County.

However, the investigation was quite urgent at the time, and Chongqing County was not close to Xing'an City, so the students from the middle school did not have time to come and visit.

This is perfect timing.

"Okay, I'll do as Director Zhou says. We'll go take a look after the meeting, and I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight."

Qin Chuan's mother has actually recovered quite well. Qin Chuan only came back two or three times during the time he was in Ping'an County.

However, because he hired a nanny for his mother, her daily life was taken care of quite well.

"Director Qin!"

Just as Qin Chuan and Zhong were having a lively conversation, someone came over from the side.

"Director Jia!"

Qin Chuan looked and saw that it was Jia Tianming, the director of the Ping'an County Public Security Bureau.

"Director Jia!"

Clearly, they knew Jia Tianming and Zhou Xuexi, and they stood up to greet them.

"Hello Director Zhou, the last time we met was during last year's director training course, haha."

After greeting Qin Chuan, Jia Tianming looked at him and said, "Director Qin, you're really a busy man. You haven't even made a phone call since your promotion, haha."

Qin Chuan knew that Jia Tianming was joking with him.

"Director Jia, you're too kind. We've worked together before, don't you know me? I've just been too busy with work here."

Although Qin Chuan was more respectful towards Jia Tianming, he clearly lacked the closeness he had shown when they were in middle school.

"How's things going on your end?"

When the topic of Qin Chuan's work came up, Jia Tianming's expression turned serious.

Zhou Xuexi, who was standing to the side, also had a solemn expression.

He and Qin Chuan had been catching up, and he had originally wanted to ask about the case.

Just as he was about to speak, Jia Tianming arrived.

"It's hard to describe in words!"

Qin Chuan sighed.

Zhou Xuexi and Jia Tianming exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and sighed.

The case that occurred in the jurisdiction of the High-tech Zone Branch had already spread throughout the system.

Such a horrific family annihilation case is so rare that it only happens once every year or two in the entire Xing'an City.

What's more, the person who was killed was the deputy director of the High-tech Zone Education Bureau.

Both of them knew that the municipal bureau was taking this case very seriously, and they had even heard that it had alarmed some leaders in the province.

"Director Qin, I've heard some things about this case. If we can't solve it... we'll be in a very passive position."

Jia Tianming frowned as he spoke.

"Oh? What does Director Jia mean?"

Jia Tianming continued, "What he said may not be accurate. I heard Secretary Huaiyuan say that yesterday when I was having dinner with him."

"Two days ago, the province organized the second meeting to deploy and promote the special campaign against organized crime."

Jia Tianming sat down and continued, "The meeting highly praised the anti-gang crime work in Zhulin County and Ping'an County, but it didn't mention the situation in Xing'an City."

"Didn't you say?"

Although Zhou Xuexi wasn't as well-informed as Jia Tianming, he was quite perceptive.

Ping'an County and Zhulin County, as counties under Xing'an City, have achieved such great results in the fight against organized crime, but they have not been commended by the city. What is the reason for this?

"The Xing'an City Public Security Bureau was originally scheduled to give a presentation on their experience, but it was canceled at the last minute."

Jia Tianming looked around: "Director Zhao seems to have gotten angry about this."

"But he couldn't refute the reasons given by the higher-ups. A family was wiped out in Xing'an City, and the case is still unsolved. If Xing'an City were to give a presentation on its experience in the special campaign against organized crime at this time, it might not be very convincing."

"So, Director Qin, you need to be careful later."
