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

Chapter 346 Stabilize Li Baokun, Arrest Operation!

However, Li Baokun had no choice. If Qin Xueli's matter wasn't resolved, who knew what Wang Baobao might bring up?

After all, Qin Xueli wasn't the only one involved in what happened at Night Bar, and Qin Xueli wasn't the only one who went to the VIP room.

"District Chief Qin, please rest assured. I understand the matter. Helping us will definitely require your assistance. Just name your fee and I'll have someone send it to you right away."

Li Baokun was unhappy inside, but now he had to appease the other party.

For Li Baokun, bringing down Qin Xueli was frankly too easy. He had dozens of videos in his possession, any one of which could ruin Qin Xueli's reputation.

Officials are different from Li Baokun and his ilk. Li Baokun doesn't care about fame; all he cares about is money.

Moreover, as long as he has money and doesn't go to jail, Li Baokun will definitely be able to make a comeback, but Qin Xueli and the others can't.

Wearing that leather coat and a hat, he was an official; without the hat, he was no better than an ordinary citizen.

Although whether it's Qin Xueli or Zhang Xueli, whoever puts on that hat is doing a favor, Li Baokun has already invested a lot in Qin Xueli from an economic perspective.

If Qin Xueli is really removed from office, it won't do him any good.

Furthermore, Li Baokun also has to follow the rules. If all the people he bribed were reported by him, who would want to associate with him in the future?

Therefore, even those in the underworld have to follow certain rules. Even if he wanted to deal with Qin Xueli, he couldn't submit the relevant materials from his own side; he had to find some scapegoats.

Qin Xueli may be a natural actor, or perhaps this kind of extortion is exactly what he excels at.

Therefore, even in front of Qin Chuan, Qin Xueli was not at all hesitant when it came to lying.

"Mr. Li, with our relationship, there's really no need for any kickbacks to get this done, but I have no choice, brother. I don't want your money, but I still have to bribe the lower-ups."

As Qin Xueli spoke, he winked at Qin Chuan.

It means that he's just putting on an act now, it's not real at all, and he doesn't usually do this.

Qin Chuan shook his head; he didn't care at all.

"One hundred, I think that's about right."

one million?

Li Baokun wasn't actually heartbroken. Over the past few years, he had grown closer to Qin Xueli, but he knew very well that Qin didn't like money.

Aside from being a bit lecherous, he doesn't really have any major flaws.

Now they're asking for a million right off the bat...

It seems things can really be done.

"Okay, how do I hand it over to you, and when?"

Qin Xueli immediately said, "No rush. Prepare the cash today, all old bills with non-consecutive serial numbers. I'll have someone come and collect it later."

"You can rest assured about the criminal investigation team. As long as the money is in place, they will all be fine. However, they definitely can't be released immediately. We already agreed yesterday that they will be detained for at least three to five days. After all, if they make such a big fuss about arresting people and then release them in just a day or two, everyone will know that something is wrong."

Without exchanging any pleasantries, Qin Xueli hung up the phone immediately after finishing his sentence.

"Director Qin, how was my performance just now?"

"Awesome!"

Qin Chuan gave the other party a thumbs up.

After leaving the district government, Qin Chuan immediately returned to the bureau.

The interrogation of Wang Baobao was entirely handled by Zhang Jun and a few of his trusted confidants.

Chen Li and several reliable people in the institute cooperated.

"Spread the word that Wang Baobao and the others haven't said anything, they're very stubborn, and the case will be difficult to solve."

Since Qin Chuan arrested Wang Baobao and his gang, he has kept the operation extremely secret. As a result, many criminal police officers did not know what was going on and had not been in contact with Wang Baobao. Naturally, they did not know how many clues Qin Chuan had obtained.

Now that Qin Chuan has instructed them to deliberately spread rumors, some things will naturally reach Li Baokun's ears.

Given Li Baokun's capabilities in Xing'an City, Qin Chuan didn't believe that the other party didn't have a single undercover agent in the police force, or even a single person they had bribed.

Sure enough, less than ten minutes after the news was released, Li Baokun received more than one text message.

Looking at the words above, Li Baokun finally felt relieved.

"Get cash ready!"

In this way, Li Baokun seemed to have discovered something.

Everyone said that the new police chief, Qin Chuan, was incorruptible, fair, and decisive, but it turns out he's nothing more than a money-grubbing bastard.

With that in mind, Li Baokun then started thinking about whether he could get in touch with Qin Chuan through Qin Xueli.

Meanwhile, Qin Chuan also had time to solidify relevant evidence.

Qin Chuan wasn't afraid of Li Baokun's tricks; he was afraid that Li Baokun would resort to desperate measures.

Now that they've successfully kept the other party in check, Qin Chuan can now investigate the clues Wang Baobao mentioned with ease.

As for how Li Baokun could catch the other party, it was very simple: just link the other party to a criminal case, and the other party would have no way to escape.

Therefore, the most important thing is to find Wang Lu's body.

"Director Qin, the one in the red shirt."

Outside the van, a middle-aged man in a red coat had just come out of a restaurant.

Although Wang Baobao did not participate in the disposal of the body, he knew all of Li Baokun's confidants and therefore knew who was responsible for handling the body.

"Follow them, prepare to make the arrest!"
