On the highway, rows upon rows of trees flashed by in Tang Tang's line of sight.
If she stared at them for a little longer, Tang Tang felt her eyes would go blurry.
Out of the corner of his eye while driving, Zuo Mu saw Tang Tang like this and inexplicably found it a bit funny. Curious, he asked, "Tang Tang, what are you doing?"
Tang Tang shook her a bit dizzy head. Her high ponytail swayed back and forth.
"I'm looking at these trees. Brother Zuo Mu, don't you think it's interesting?" Tang Tang stared at Zuo Mu seriously.
"What?" Zuo Mu didn't intend to say much, but Tang Tang had opened up his conversation box.
Tang Tang cleared her throat. Her eyes curved into a sweet smile. But she didn't know that when she smiled, the baby fat on her cheeks that hadn't completely faded would puff up, making her look very childish.
"I've liked looking at the trees on the road since I was a kid. I think trees are really interesting. Every time I go to a new place and see the trees there, I won't feel strange."
Zuo Mu looked at the road intently, a bit perfunctorily: "Really?"
What a little girl with such a strange cute point.
Tang Tang was very happy. When she wasn't dizzy anymore, she continued to look out of the window at the seemingly identical but actually long - passed trees.
While these two people were enjoying this rare relaxing time, there was a new upheaval elsewhere.
In his study at home, Li Qiang struggled for a long time.
In front of him was actually the USB flash drive that Zuo Mu had given him.
Li Qiang knew Zuo Mu. Although he was young, he was very capable. Whoever could recruit him would definitely gain a great help.
However, all of this was broken by this small USB flash drive.
Every time the bureau had a planned operation against criminal gangs, their plans would be seen through. Several times, when they got to the place the informant had told them about, they came up empty - handed.
Once or twice might be a coincidence.
But eight out of ten times was a serious problem.
It showed that the bureau had been infiltrated deeply.
Even so, many people still flocked to participate in the operations. Because of this gang, several excellent policemen had been injured or even sacrificed.
They were all well - trained good seeds.
The chief of the bureau almost had a fit.
But everyone reflected on their problems after this setback.
After finding out that the root cause was the leak of information, they changed their strategy.
Those who could participate in this operation had been secretly investigated by the information technology department and had their political backgrounds and family backgrounds thoroughly checked. They were the most professional people. Only in this way could they act separately in this operation, trying to lock the information within a few people and cut off the source of information leakage.
Moreover, each group received fragmented information to avoid collusion.
That's why this operation was successful.
Looking at the USB flash drive on the table, Li Qiang had second thoughts for the first time.
What should he do?
Should he hand it in or not?
Li Qiang hesitated and struggled for a long time. Finally, he decided to plug the USB flash drive into his computer. The moment he opened the file, Li Qiang's eyes widened in shock.
The names on the list made his hair stand on end.
It could be said that if this list was made public, it would definitely cause a huge stir.
Looking at the phone on the table, Li Qiang hesitated for a long time and finally made a call.
"Old chief, it's me..."
Not long after, an anti - corruption storm swept through the S City Police Bureau. In this operation, many corrupt public servants were exposed, except for those with good conduct. The highest - ranking one was actually the deputy chief of the bureau.
No one knew who had reported them. Some of their actions were even more heinous. In order to gain petty profits, they had colluded with some criminal gangs, leaking countless operation secrets and causing the operations to fail.
During that period, everyone in the public security system was in a panic, afraid that the fire would burn on themselves.
No one knew that it all started with an unremarkable phone call in the middle of the night.
"Captain Li!" Colleagues coming and going in the police station greeted Li Qiang.
Because of Li Qiang's outstanding performance in the human organ trafficking case, he was promoted to the chief of the criminal investigation team in one go.
Although there were some who were not convinced, Li Qiang's case - handling ability was outstanding. He always rushed to the front in every operation and was originally a strong candidate for the next - term team leader. So most people were convinced.
The cleaning operation that swept through the S City public security system from top to bottom did not spare Li Qiang and his colleagues.
Many colleagues who seemed decent on the surface were actually colluding with criminal gangs, and even the inhumane human organ trafficking gangs.
Seeing the moles being exposed, the others were very angry.
If these people hadn't leaked the information, the case might have been solved a long time ago, and there wouldn't have been so many innocent victims.
Li Qiang stood quietly in the corner, watching everyone coming and going. He lit a cigarette, looked out of the window, and sighed.
This operation had indeed caught many people, but some had escaped.
No one knew how those people had got the news. By the time of the investigation, they were nowhere to be found.
This left a bit of a regret in this case.
But the joy of solving the case diluted this shadow.
"Captain Li!" A powerful voice interrupted Li Qiang's train of thought.
He stubbed out the cigarette and saw Xiao Chen in his police uniform, looking imposing. Seeing him as promising as his own son, Li Qiang felt better. He asked with a smile, "What's up, Xiao Chen? Haven't seen you for a few days."
Xiao Chen smiled shyly, thinking about how to say it.
"I applied to our team leader to transfer to the serious crime unit."
"What?" Li Qiang was very surprised. Since he had just come to a new team, he had naturally been separated from his previous colleagues. Now that a familiar teammate was coming, he was overjoyed.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Qiang complained a bit. "Let's go for a drink after work later."
"Captain..." Xiao Chen smiled shyly. "Don't dislike me for being stupid. I just thought the serious crime unit was more suitable for me. I was afraid I'd become useless in the original unit."
"Nonsense!" Li Qiang looked around at the others and scolded Xiao Chen. "Every position is important. You can't just go wherever you want."
"I..." Xiao Chen was eager to explain something, but Li Qiang suddenly smiled again. "But being able to transfer here shows that you're capable. Otherwise, the leader wouldn't have agreed to you."
Xiao Chen's face brightened up again.
Li Qiang also liked the tenacity in Xiao Chen. He couldn't help but encourage him, "Kid, the serious crime unit is no joke. From now on, you have to be on standby at all times. You may not have time to rest or be with your family."
Xiao Chen shouted powerfully, "I know, but I'm not afraid."
"Good!" Li Qiang slapped the table. This matter was settled.
"We're going to have a victory banquet tomorrow night. Aren't you on good terms with Zuo Mu? Ask them if they're coming. After all, Zuo Mu helped a lot in solving this case." Before leaving, Li Qiang told Xiao Chen this.
Xiao Chen grumbled in his heart. Zuo Mu was a blood - sucking vampire who only knew how to exploit him!
