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

Chapter 795 A Plan Takes Over, Escalating Further

Anyway, Qin Chuan was alone here, so it didn't matter if he attended dinner parties when he had nothing to do in the evenings. In addition, Qin Chuan had a special constitution; no matter how much alcohol he drank, it was as if he hadn't drunk anything, so he would basically attend all these dinner parties.

It was through these dinners that Qin Chuan basically established his reputation in Nanchuan City; he was a rather easygoing person. When offered a toast, Qin Chuan never refused because of the other person's official position or how much he had drunk; he always accepted.

That's why we had Vice Minister Zhang invite him to dinner and drinks today to discuss matters.

Through this process, Qin Chuan has already shown his goodwill. Regarding the Sihai Group, he can ask his subordinates to put the casino case on hold for now.

In fact, this was all part of Qin Chuan's plan long ago. Vice Minister Zhang thought it was all for his own sake, but in reality, it was all part of Qin Chuan's pre-planned scheme. Vice Minister Zhang was simply playing along.

In reality, that list was completely useless to Qin Chuan. Whether these people went gambling or not had nothing to do with Qin Chuan. Dealing with them was not his business. Even the Discipline Inspection Commission didn't get involved, so what did it have to do with Qin Chuan, a police chief?

The reason for having Tang Haorui report Tang Haobing's two main venues was actually to instigate internal strife within the Sihai Group, creating the illusion to the outside world that a succession struggle was taking place within the Sihai Group.

Judging from Vice Minister Zhang's dinner party last night, it is clear that Qin Chuan has achieved his goal.

The rest, Qin Chuan can just sit back and watch the show.

Because Qin Chuan had already discussed with Tang Haorui that it wasn't just the Public Security Bureau that needed to intervene; Tang Haorui also had a lot of leverage over Tang Haobing's businesses, as well as other matters related to taxation, environmental protection, and industry and commerce.

All of these things need to come out so that a situation can be created where Tang Haorui and Tang Haobing are locked in a power struggle, and in the end, Qin Chuan will simply stop and arrest Tang Haobing.

Tang Haobing's case involves far more than just these trivial matters. Although he doesn't have any murder cases on his hands, he has committed numerous acts of intentional injury, imprisonment, and kidnapping.

Tang Haorui had already handed over some of the evidence in these cases to Qin Chuan, and was just waiting for a suitable opportunity to take action.

Qin Chuan could actually act now, given the opportune moment, but he didn't want to focus all his efforts on himself. If he were to arrest Tang Haobing now, all of the Tang family's influence would be mobilized to put pressure on him, which was unnecessary.

After arriving in Nanchuan City, Qin Chuan gradually came to understand a principle: many cases need to be solved and many people need to be arrested, but this does not mean that his future will be ruined or that he has offended so many people.

Qin Chuan is currently only the director of the Public Security Bureau, but he has actually been here for more than three months, almost four months. According to normal cadre promotion, the director of the Public Security Bureau will be added to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee through a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in one or two months.

The reason Qin Chuan didn't add anyone was twofold: firstly, he was too young, and secondly, he didn't believe there weren't other obstacles involved.

Therefore, having more friends means having more options. Just as Vice Minister Zhang said, if that member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of the Organization Department hadn't spoken up for him during his promotion, or even just frowned or raised some questions, the whole thing could have fallen through.

As expected, in the following period, the brothers Tang Haobing and Tang Haorui of Sihai Group gave the high-ranking officials and other influential people in Nanchuan City a wonderful lesson in internal power struggles.

Tang Haorui has not wasted the past three years since returning to China. In addition to running his hotel successfully, he has also collected a lot of clues about Tang Haobing's men.

After the casino was shut down, no one was arrested and the case was dropped, but it certainly couldn't continue operating. Meanwhile, the next morning, a mine managed by Tang Haobing was reported for illegal activities.

The department sent to investigate this time was the safety supervision department.

Someone reported that the mine managed by Tang Haobing had inadequate safety measures and was illegally storing explosives, posing a significant safety hazard.

If it were merely a matter of inadequate safety management, it wouldn't be such a big deal. With so many mines, which one can claim to have absolutely perfect safety measures? In reality, that's just an excuse. But the matter of illegally possessing explosives is quite different.

Whether it's a regular coal mine or other iron ore or rock mine, explosives are usually stored in certain quantities, but the management is very strict and they must be reported in a strict manner.

This time, the report not only had detailed records but also photos.

The amount of explosives reported at the mine should have been 500 grams, but the actual amount of explosives stored at the mine was 2.5 kilograms.

Don't underestimate 500 grams of explosives, and certainly don't underestimate 2.5 kilograms. Keep in mind, this is all high explosives, used for mining. Storing so much means that if an explosion were to occur, the entire factory area would be instantly leveled.

The safety inspection department found this to be true after an inspection. The explosives exceeded the permitted limits, and the person in charge of safety at the mine was arrested. However, he was released after two or three days. The explosives were confiscated, and a fine was imposed; the matter was then dropped.

It's obvious that someone made a call behind the scenes, and the safety supervision department naturally went along with it, finishing the matter as soon as it was done.

However, both the casino incident and the recent report about the mine were merely appetizers. Over the next week or so, Tang Haorui arranged for numerous people to file reports against the real estate companies, mines, and energy transportation companies under Tang Haobing's jurisdiction.

The departments involved are also quite diverse. Today, they send a clue to the Public Security Bureau, tomorrow to the Environmental Protection Bureau, and the day after tomorrow they say that a certain company is evading taxes.

Tang Haobing has been going crazy lately.

“Dad, the second son has gone too far. These businesses all belong to the Tang family. I’ve used so many connections to settle these messes. We can’t let this drag on any longer.”

Finally, a month later, Tang Haobing, fed up with the constant complaints, went to Tang Haotian to complain.

"Dad, don't listen to my brother's nonsense. I'm just running my hotels legally and properly. What my brother is doing has nothing to do with me, and I didn't send anyone to report him. I told him long ago that we should do things legally and compliantly, and not always resort to these crooked and shady methods. How about that? Now he's getting his comeuppance. He used so many of our connections and spent so much money, but the matter is still not settled, and they've given him leverage. I think we need to think this through carefully."

Tang Haorui, of course, would not admit that he was behind it.
