178: What are you doing? Are you planning a rebellion?

"Team Leader Yu, are we departing now to collect evidence?" Wang Longxin was a bit puzzled; collecting evidence was usually the job of forensic specialists, and at most, they would only assist. Why were so many people going?

"Yes, and no. We need to control Chen Bin to prevent him from escaping. Everyone will go to the Chengguan Police Station, invite Chen Bin into the car, and we'll all go to the Blue Garden Community together."

After Yu Haifeng finished speaking, he directly commanded, "Depart!"

Everyone looked at each other. Going to the Police Station to 'invite' someone—though it was called an invitation, it was essentially an arrest. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Seeing that everyone was still frozen, Ye Lin immediately shouted, "Let's go, we're departing!"

With that, he was the first to lead the way to the car.

With a role model, the others also scrambled into the police cars. A convoy of four police cars stretched out, heading straight for the Chengguan Police Station.

The people at the Chengguan Police Station had recently noticed that their Chief Chen Bin had suddenly become a homebody. When he first transferred here, he was out and about every day.

He couldn't be found for meetings, and he was absent during his shifts, but as soon as there was any issue with the demolition, he would immediately rush to the scene. A pile of troublesome displaced residents were arrested, while the demolition team remained completely unharmed.

Over time, everyone at the station understood: Chief Chen was in cahoots with the demolition team.

After Gu Teng was arrested, and the demolition compensation was quickly settled, Chen Bin disappeared again. He usually played mahjong in the morning and drank alcohol in the afternoon, living a very carefree life.

Although many people disapproved of his conduct, there have always been those who are indignant and those who are sycophants. So, Chengguan Police Station also had quite a few of Chen Bin's confidants. Coupled with his money and connections, these confidants also respected him and worked diligently for him. For a time, he had carved out a path of laissez-faire governance.

However, during this period, Chen Bin seemed to have changed his personality. He stayed at the station every day, reading newspapers and drinking tea, arriving and leaving work punctually, which confused the people at the station.

Actually, Chen Bin himself was bored to death. If Feng Shikun hadn't warned him that Secretary Kang had visited and he needed to lie low for a while, he wouldn't have stayed so honestly at the station, listening to those common people report trivial matters.

The afternoon was a relatively relaxed time at the Police Station. The morning's affairs had been largely dealt with, most people who needed services had finished, and the evening's drinking and fighting hadn't started yet. So, Chief Chen decided to hold a business analysis meeting in the afternoon.

He gathered all the Police Station personnel for a joyous meeting, where each department would report, and he, as the Chief, would comment.

This was a work method Feng Shikun taught him. Although he found it very boring, it seemed to be somewhat effective. Everyone's work enthusiasm had greatly improved through mutual competition.

The meeting had only been going for half an hour, and two departments had finished reporting. Just as the Household Registration Department was about to report, a sudden, urgent siren sounded from downstairs.

Everyone craned their necks to look and saw four police cars blocking the entrance of the Police Station, trapping all the other vehicles inside.

"Damn it, these higher-ups are getting more and more shameless with their inspections. They just love these sudden raids," grumbled the Head of Internal Affairs.

"No, these aren't leaders' cars. These are from the Branch Bureau's Criminal Police Team, right? Is there a case?"

"Hmm? So many people, could it be a major case?"

Everyone began to whisper, while Chen Bin was actually starting to panic. However, he thought that he shouldn't have left any clues, so perhaps it really was a major case that required their cooperation.

Before Chen Bin could figure it out, the meeting room door was pushed open, and Yu Haifeng, along with Ye Lin and a few others, walked in imposingly.

The several people walked directly to Chen Bin, and with a flourish, presented a search warrant:

"Comrade Chen Bin, we are legally searching a property under your name. We now ask you to come with us to assist in the investigation," Yu Haifeng, in his police uniform, said gravely.

It wasn't about a case; they were here for Chen Bin. The meeting room erupted.

"What does this mean? Asking Chief Chen to assist in the investigation is...?"

"What do you think it means? It means exactly what you're thinking."

"Sigh, I knew it. Chief Chen's frequent dining and drinking with people would definitely lead to trouble."

"Exactly. He definitely didn't control himself. All he did was lecture us. Now he's probably finished. I wonder how much money he's embezzled."

Two police officers from the Household Registration Department whispered behind them.

"Do you two have any common sense? If it were about taking money, it would definitely be the Disciplinary Committee," a seasoned old police officer next to them reminded.

"Oh right, so why are the Criminal Police here?"

"Why else? He's in deep trouble, hehe," the old police officer smiled mysteriously.

The two Household Registration Department police officers' expressions changed. In deep trouble, and with the Criminal Police here... Then... As soon as Yu Haifeng displayed the search warrant, Chen Bin's face instantly went pale, and large beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.

He understood in his heart that something had probably happened. No wonder Director Feng had reminded him to keep a low profile recently. It seemed he still couldn't escape this calamity.

However, he was unwilling to surrender without a fight. Chen Bin's expression quickly changed, a hint of anger appearing on his face.

He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Captain Yu, what is the meaning of this? Is it just about the Chengguan Village incident last time, where we didn't cooperate well? Is it necessary to get a search warrant to investigate me? You're using your position for personal revenge!"

Chen Bin employed the tactic of the villain making the first accusation, stirring up the waters first.

As he spoke, Chen Bin stood up, pointing downwards, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Wang, Old Huang, why are you all standing there dumbfounded? They're already bullying us, and you're still sitting there like idiots."

The people below were already somewhat confused, and Chen Bin's chaotic words muddled them further.

Now, Chen Bin directly called out several young police officers who usually followed him closely, instantly igniting their tempers.

With a whoosh, four or five people stood up, starting to curse and swear.

Police work mostly involves dealing with suspects, so their attitudes are often not good. These few should also be seasoned officers, so their tempers flared easily.

"Just because you're from the Branch Bureau, you think you're hot stuff?"

"Exactly, you think just because our Chengguan Police Station is grassroots, you can mess around, right?"

"You want to take someone from here? You can forget about it."

"What are you all waiting for? They're trying to step all over us, and you're still sitting there!" The few people cursed and started to egg on the others.

With these few taking the lead, it must be said that the police force's sense of collective honor was very strong. The others all stood up with a whoosh and surrounded them.

Seeing the situation turn sour, Yu Haifeng slammed his hand on the table and roared, "What do you think you're doing? Revolting? Do you understand what 'executing orders' means?!"
