578: Section 578

Today, this place has developed into one of the largest furniture factories in the entire Old District.

Trucks drove out of the factory one after another in an endless stream.

They were heading to various cities in the Old District to deliver all these goods.

From day to night, even in the dead of night, they never stopped.

They were completely unafraid of the dangers brought by the night.

The twilight was heavy.

The setting sun hid behind the western mountains, leaving only a corner that had not yet completely dissipated.

The crimson color looked as if it had been dyed with blood.

The entire furniture factory was bathed in the same hue.

Seven or eight trucks were parked inside the factory, and some workers were busy loading goods onto them.

Among them was a supervisor.

Just then, a worker hurried over.

"Boss, people from the Public Security Bureau are here!"

"Who? The Public Security Bureau? Hmph, what are they here for again? It's this late, are they really that bold?"

A sneer of disdain crossed the supervisor's face.

He turned around and shouted a few times, telling them to hurry up with the loading.

Then he walked towards the factory gate.

Before long, he walked out from a small side door by the factory gate.

He saw several police cars from the Public Security Bureau parked outside, and the person leading them was none other than Captain Tang Zhan.

He was leaning against the car, smoking a cigarette. Upon seeing this, the supervisor hurried over obsequiously.

When he reached Captain Tang Zhan, he bowed and scraped, saying, "Captain Tang, why did you come here personally?"

Captain Tang Zhan exhaled a puff of white smoke and glanced at him with a look of contempt.

"Old Qian, someone reported you to me, saying that your factory isn't clean!"

"Is that true?"

After he finished speaking, Old Qian's expression changed, and he hurriedly shook his head, saying, "Captain Tang, how is that possible? We are a legitimate factory; how could there be anything unclean going on?"

"Oh? Then why does someone say that your furniture factory, while appearing to make furniture, is actually engaged in some shady business behind the scenes?"

"Now that the higher-ups know about this, they want an explanation from me. Shouldn't you give me an explanation too?" Captain Tang Zhan said unhurriedly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Old Qian quickly took a step closer and shoved an envelope into his hand.

It was bulging with something inside.

He whispered, "Captain Tang, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

"Could you please be flexible? Our furniture factory has always been law-abiding. We have absolutely never done anything out of line. I don't know which bastard is framing us!"

"Rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

Just as the envelope was about to be tucked into Captain Tang Zhan's pocket.

Captain Tang Zhan nodded and said with a smile, "Old Qian, we're both just working for others, so don't make it difficult for me!"

"I definitely can't accept this today!"

"However, this explanation must be given to me today!"

"Take a look at how many people came with me. If I don't let them go in and take a look, I won't be able to answer to them later!"

After Captain Tang Zhan finished speaking, he slapped the envelope back onto Old Qian's chest.

He waved his hand at the people behind him and said, "Go in, all of you!"

As soon as he said this, those people wearing the uniforms of the Public Security Bureau.

Walked straight into the factory.

Old Qian's expression changed abruptly at the sight.

However, no look of panic could be seen on his face.

Captain Tang Zhan kept a peripheral eye on the expression on Old Qian's face.

Until those team members had all entered the factory.

Captain Tang Zhan also threw the cigarette butt in his hand onto the ground and crushed it.

"Old Qian, please understand!"

"It's an order from above. As a small fry, I dare not disobey it, right?"

"It's just a routine inspection. Once the inspection is over, won't it be finished?"

After Captain Tang Zhan finished speaking, he walked up to a car and knocked on the window.

Then, after the car door opened.

Several people stepped out of the car; they were Lin Yi, Wei Nan, and Wei Shang.

And the people who had just gone in were the members of the Right Division Guard working overtime at the Public Security Bureau.

The one leading the team inside was Feng Lei.

"Come, Old Qian, come over here, let me introduce you!"

"This is the officer in charge of our Public Security Bureau, and also my direct superior!"

After Captain Tang Zhan finished speaking, he didn't forget to give Old Qian a wink.

The implication seemed to be telling him, "Do you understand now why I couldn't take your money? My superior is right here."

Old Qian had always been dealing with these kinds of people.

How could he not understand what it meant?

He hurried over obsequiously, reached out his hand, and said, "Hello, hello, I am the person in charge of the furniture factory. My name is Qian Shengli..."

While speaking, he reached out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Lin Yi.

However, Lin Yi just lowered his head and glanced at him.

He walked straight past him and towards the inside of the factory.

"Someone reported that your factory is engaged in some shady business.

"Since you are the person in charge of the factory, don't say I didn't give you a chance!"

"If you really did it, confess now, and you might be dealt with leniently. If we find out ourselves, your charges will be very serious!"

Lin Yi said, intentionally using official bureaucratic jargon.

Upon hearing this, a look of guilt flashed in Old Qian's eyes.

But he quickly recovered and hurriedly chased after him with a smile: "Leader, how is that possible?"

"I just told Captain Tang that we are a legitimate furniture factory!"

"If you don't believe me, feel free to take a look. How could we dare to do anything illegal!"

Lin Yi did not answer, but continued to walk into the factory.

After passing the factory gate, he continued: "Whether it's illegal or not is not for you to decide!"

"If I say you are violating the law, then you are violating the law. If I say you are not violating the law, then even if it is illegal, it's not illegal. Do you understand?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Old Qian's eyes rolled around a few times.

Things had reached this point; how could he not understand the meaning behind those words?

He hurriedly trotted over and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the leader is right!"

"I understand what you mean..."

He then took out the envelope that Captain Tang Zhan had just refused.

Just as he was about to hand it to Lin Yi, he thought better of it and took it back.

Then, from another pocket, he took out another envelope of the same thickness.

He then ran up to him and stuffed it into Lin Yi's pocket.

"A small token of my appreciation, I hope the leader doesn't mind. Please buy the brothers a bottle of wine to drink!"

"Later, I will definitely visit you in person!"

After Old Qian finished speaking with a smile.

Lin Yi suddenly turned his head and looked at him: "What are you doing? Are you trying to bribe me?"

"No, no, no, I don't mean that at all. It's just to treat the brothers to a drink.

"After all, you've traveled a long way, and the journey has been tiring. A drink can help relieve the fatigue..."

While speaking, the envelope and the red packet had already been stuffed into Lin Yi's pocket.

When he saw that Lin Yi had no intention of refusing.

Old Qian finally let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as he accepted the red packet, everything that followed would be easy to handle.

And today's inspection would just be a normal routine inspection.

However, just while they were talking.

A worker ran over with a panicked expression.

When he saw Lin Chuan, Captain Tang Zhan, and the others, he leaned in close to Old Qian.

He called him aside and whispered a few words.

After listening, Old Qian's expression also changed drastically.

He nodded and walked towards Lin Yi.
