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

Chapter 525 The Big Boss Makes His Appearance

Zhang Tianyu ignored the other party's threats; they didn't matter to him.

Although the other party is ranked ahead of him in the city, Zhang Tianyu is the vice mayor and concurrently serves as the director of the city's public security bureau, which is a powerful department.

Although Zhang Tianyu is not as senior as the other party in terms of experience, Zhang Tianyu has more real power and influence in the city.

So he just laughed it off and let the matter drag on.

But after hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianyu's mind was far from calm.

He never expected that Qin Chuan would actually target Aijia Supermarket.

He certainly knew something about Aijia Supermarket.

Before the anti-gang crime task force was established, the Linzhou Public Security Bureau had received several anonymous reports about Aijia Supermarket.

Zhang Tianyu did not ignore these anonymous whistleblower letters, but instead dispatched a small working group to verify the relevant information.

However, during the verification process, Zhang Tianyu and his team discovered that there was a lot of resistance, and the source of this resistance was not the so-called Aijia Supermarket or anyone else, but rather the managers of the farmers' markets under Aijia Supermarket.

Most of the reports in these whistleblower letters concerned issues such as extortion of protection money, illegal mergers, and other cases of illegal detention.

However, when the special operation team went in to investigate, they found that such a thing did not exist at all.

The first to come forward to prove this was the leader of the various departments that manage these farmers' markets.

In response to the allegations in the whistleblower letter, the leaders of these management departments vehemently denied that such a thing could possibly happen.

As for verifying clues related to illegal detention and other criminal cases, the leaders of the public security bureaus in charge of this area in the relevant regions have assured the public that these are completely unfounded.

Furthermore, some of the parties involved, as investigated based on these clues, all said that such a thing never happened.

This is strange.

These things didn't happen. Where did these clues come from? Did the person who wrote the whistleblower letter fabricate them out of thin air?

Zhang Tianyu knew at the time that either these letters were really fabricated, or someone wanted to slander Aijia Supermarket, or someone wanted to cause trouble.

However, there is also the possibility that Aijia Supermarket truly has absolute control.

He could not only control the management units of the farmers' markets under his jurisdiction, but even the local police station. This shows that the amount of information exposed online is truly enormous.

After the working group went down to investigate, the results of the investigation were never realized.

After that, the Municipal Public Security Bureau did not receive any more so-called complaint letters. It wasn't until the Anti-Organized Crime Special Task Force was established that some more complaint letters about Aijia Supermarket were submitted.

However, in the past year, there has been no substantial progress regarding these whistleblower letters.

Zhang Tianyu did not expect that Qin Chuan would shut down the Youhao Road Farmers Market and seal it off in less than a week after arriving, and even arrest the president of a chamber of commerce in the new urban area.

After Qian Youcai was arrested, the first person to receive the news was naturally Zhang Dongbei, the owner behind Aijia Supermarket.

"I know, you go down."

After learning that Qian Youcai had been arrested, Zhang Dongbei showed no signs of anger or inappropriate behavior.

However, beneath the calm surface of the lake, turbulent undercurrents surge.

Inside Zhang Dongwei's office, the other person remained silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.

"You've worked hard all these years, so please make arrangements to let him get some rest."

"And that ledger that Youcai has, find a way to destroy it."

Over the years, Zhang Dongbei has rarely lost his temper, and his subordinates have practically never seen him get angry.

Because in Zhang Dongbei's view, getting angry when something happens is useless; when something happens, you have to solve it; when there's a problem, you have to solve it.

There are two ways to solve a problem: one is to solve the problem itself, and the other is to solve the people who caused the problem.
