Chapter 142 Prioritizing the Overall Situation

Chen Yu didn't have time to chat with them about these trivial matters anymore, so he got back to the main topic.

He asked Qi Xiaowei in a deep voice, "Where exactly is Liu Ying?"

Qi Xiaowei saw that Chen Yu was so persistent; he was determined to kill Liu Ying!

At this moment, he also looked solemn and hesitant.

As the police chief, he should not have condoned or even assisted Chen Yu in committing such heinous crimes.

But now, with a major disaster looming, the people are suffering terribly, and even the state apparatus is paralyzed. It seems that only Chen Yu can turn the tide.

They were preparing to discuss cooperation with Chen Yu tonight. Moreover, they had all promised Chen Yu that from now on, Chen Yu would be in charge of the entire Anping, and everyone would have to unconditionally obey Chen Yu's orders, including the police chief and district head Li Xiubo.

If we refuse or stop Chen Yu at this time, what will Chen Yu think?

Can the cooperation continue?

On one hand, there are the professional ethics and legal bottom lines that one must uphold.

On the other hand, it is very likely a matter of great importance concerning Anping, even the entire Great Xia, and even all living beings on Blue Star.

Qi Xiaowei was caught in a dilemma and couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

He couldn't help but look at Li Xiubai, as if he wanted to get the right answer from Li Xiubai.

As the head of a district, Li Xiubo also felt immense pressure at this time.

He understood Qi Xiaowei's struggle; wasn't he himself also experiencing immense inner turmoil?

However, Qi Xiaowei was ultimately his subordinate, and no matter what decision Qi Xiaowei made, he could not remain aloof as a bystander.

Thinking of this, Li Xiubai sighed and said to Qi Xiaowei, "Everything should be done with the greater good in mind!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaowei felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that when Li Xiubai said "put the overall situation first," someone was about to suffer.

Clearly, Liu Ying alone is not enough to represent the bigger picture.

Li Xiubo's decision was somewhat unexpected by Qi Xiaowei, but it was also quite reasonable.

After all, how can Liu Ying's life be compared to the future of all the people of Anping or even all of humanity?

Immediately, Qi Xiaowei made up his mind, took a deep breath, and said to Chen Yu, "Liu Ying lives in Building 3 of the 'Aimin Community,' but I don't know the specific floor and door number."

Chen Yu frowned upon hearing this, and asked suspiciously, "That woman lives in 'Aimin Community'?"

According to his understanding, "Aimin Community" is just an old and dilapidated community. It was built by the government in the 1980s and was used as welfare housing to be distributed free of charge to the police officers of Anping.

Although, in a sense, the people living in this community can also represent their status.

But this is, after all, a nearly 40-year-old neighborhood! It doesn't change the fact that it has become an "old, dilapidated, and small" community in this new era.

Based on his understanding of Liu Ying, how could she possibly live in such a dilapidated and cramped house?

No matter what, that couple are super-rich people with assets worth tens of billions (which they extorted from him).

Given their flamboyant personalities, Chen Yu wouldn't be surprised at all if they lived in a manor spanning thousands of acres.

However, Qi Xiaowei told him that Liu Ying was now living in the "Old Dawn" Aimin Community, which explained why Chen Yu was suspicious.

Seeing that Chen Yu didn't believe him, Qi Xiaowei quickly explained, "Chen Yu, I'm not lying to you. Liu Ying really does live in 'Aimin Community.' I heard that after she and Huang Juncai became 'successful,' they went on a buying spree, purchasing hundreds of properties. I think the house in 'Aimin Community' was bought by them around that time!"

"As for why she moved to 'Aimin Community,' I think it's also related to you," Qi Xiaowei added.

"What does this have to do with me?" Chen Yu pointed to his own nose, looking puzzled.

Qi Xiaowei nodded and said, "I heard that she moved to 'Aimin Community' on the night this natural disaster struck."

Upon hearing Qi Xiaowei's words, Chen Yu suddenly realized what was going on.

It seems that Liu Ying heard about her shooting and killing her husband Huang Juncai and was afraid that he would come to her door to eliminate her completely, so she thought of moving to "Aimin Community", a residential area for retired cadres.

In Liu Ying's view, this area is not only home to retired cadres, but also a concentrated residential area for current cadres and officials in Anping.

There is no safer place in all of Anping than here.

As for why Liu Ying didn't simply flee to another place?

It is possible that she was indeed planning to flee, but due to the bad weather, she was stopped by a sudden blizzard at night before she could run out. So she had to settle for the next best thing and chose to hide in the "Aimin Community", a place that she felt was relatively safe.

It has to be said that Liu Ying is quite clever; she managed to analyze the most advantageous option for herself in such a short time.

However, that was all. In the end, she underestimated Chen Yu's terrifying strength and determination to kill her.

Tonight, she is doomed!

With this in mind, Chen Yu stepped on the gas, started the sled again, turned it around, and drove towards "Aimin Community".

Since they hadn't gone very far, the sled soon entered the "community of the disabled" area again. As it passed the gymnasium, some people receiving relief food curiously peeked out.

Chen Yu ignored this.

He drove his sled straight into the "Aimin Residential Area" with a gloomy expression.

Guided by Qi Xiaowei, the group quickly arrived at Building No. 3.

"This is it, but you'll have to go door-to-door to check the exact floor," Qi Xiaowei said to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu nodded slightly.

This is just a low-rise old building, only 6 stories high, so it's not difficult to investigate.

Looking at the house, which was mostly buried in snow, Lin Lele couldn't help but shiver. Then she said seriously, "Sir, I won't go in. I'll keep watch outside so she doesn't get away!"

"Alright." Chen Yu nodded slightly. "Someone does need to guard the outside."

Before Chen Yu could even finish speaking and before Lin Lele could feel relieved, she suddenly felt a violent impact on her buttocks.

Affected by this force, she lost her balance and fell directly into the fourth-floor stairwell that was exposed above the snow.

"District Chief Li, Director Qi, I'll trouble you to keep an eye on things outside for me," Chen Yu said to the two of them, then looked at Feng Xinran: "Officer Feng, if you see anyone running out from inside later, please stop them for me."

The three nodded.

At the same time, they were also somewhat relieved, since they were all serving officials and police officers, and they were still somewhat resistant to being forced to break into people's homes and violently injure them.

Chen Yu's arrangement was exactly what they wanted.
