The third day of the meeting arrived. Shi Jin had just stepped into the meeting room when he found that his progress bar had risen again, to 650. He calmly glanced at the people in the meeting room, paused his gaze on Yuan Peng, then retracted it, walked to his seat and sat down.
The content of today's meeting was more important. It was to re-register the organization information and collect a new list of candidates for review of legal violent organizations. The attitudes of the leaders of each organization were obviously much more cautious and serious. Shi Jin also put on a serious look, sitting properly, without flipping through the information or playing with his mobile phone.
After the meeting started, everyone first cooperated with Zhang Zhuoyuan to re-register the organization information, and then, like in previous years, received a blank paper from Zhang Zhuoyuan. Afterwards, Zhang Zhuoyuan announced that the meeting would be suspended for half an hour so that everyone could think carefully about the list.
Shi Jin took a blank paper out of the conference room, walked up to Fei Yujing and Li Jiuzheng, and whispered to them.
Half an hour later, the break was over, Shi Jin returned to the conference room, picked up a pen and wrote something on the blank paper, and then handed the paper to Zhang Zhuoyuan.
Seeing this, the leaders of other organizations were all surprised. Since the official meeting began, every year when it came to this stage, Mie would directly give up the recommendation, but this year, Shi Jin actually wrote something on the blank paper and handed it to Zhang Zhuoyuan.
Is Mie finally going to start recommending new organizations to be listed? Why? Is Mie preparing to expand his power? Which new organization will Mie recommend?
Questions kept popping up, and the originally calm atmosphere of the meeting became turbulent. Everyone secretly looked at Shi Jin, guessing which organization he would recommend. Some people even couldn't help but want to go to Zhang Zhuoyuan to take a peek.
Meng Qing and Qi Yun looked at each other, exchanged a tacit look, and then each submitted their own blank paper.
The blank papers were quickly submitted. Zhang Zhuoyuan and his assistant sorted out the recommended list, then copied it, distributed a copy to each person, and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Shi Jin walked away leisurely with the list. The leaders of other organizations watched him leave, lowered their heads to scan the list, and unconsciously began to guess which organization on it would be recommended by Shi Jin.
After lunch, Meng Qing called Lu Shan and others to talk.
"Lu Shan, you know Mie better. Which of these organizations do you think Mie would recommend?" Meng Qing first asked Lu Shan's opinion, and showed an attitude that he valued her more, trying to comfort her, fearing that she would be angry about what happened yesterday.
Lu Shan cooperated and pretended to be comforted. She slowed down her voice and replied, "Based on my understanding of Mie, I think Shi Jin probably didn't recommend a new organization to Zhang Zhuoyuan this time. He did that this morning to disrupt us. In fact, he has been doing the same thing for the past three days - making different moves or revealing important information to arouse our speculation and discussion, so that we follow his pace. I think we should be more rational now, shift our attention away from what he revealed or did, and focus on analyzing the reasons why he did this, so as to dig out his real purpose."
Qi Yun actually admired her calmness and concentration in his heart, but...
"No, Shi Jin did recommend an organization to Zhang Zhuoyuan this time. I counted the number of organizations that have recommendations and found that it matches the number on the list." He pointed this out, thought about it, and then said, "But Lu Shan is right. We have been too concerned about Shi Jin's movements these days. Anyway, let's talk about the organizations we recommend first, so as not to hurt our companions. This is the most important thing for us at the moment."
"Qi Yun is right." Yuan Peng was the first to respond, and then said the name of the organization he recommended.
Seeing that Qi Yun instantly took away the initiative to speak, Meng Qing frowned, but didn't say anything, and then also said the organization he recommended. Lu Shan followed closely, and finally Qi Yun.
After some communication, four organizations on the list were eliminated, leaving nearly twenty.
Lu Shan took the initiative to speak again and said, "If Shi Jin really recommended an organization, then based on the style of Mie and Lian Jun, the organizations he recommended would most likely be small, less well-known organizations, or low-key medium-sized organizations. The overall strength of the organization may not be strong, but the geographical location or business structure is definitely very impressive. However, I still don't recommend that everyone pay too much attention to Shi Jin's recommendation this time, because it doesn't make much sense. Even if Mie has another listed small organization, it won't have much impact on the situation."
"I don't think so." Meng Qing denied her statement and acted like a senior. "I have been in the underworld for decades and have seen countless disputes. In my experience, the more detailed the place is, the more attention it needs. Shi Jin's background is complicated and his position is unclear. The organization he recommended must be thoroughly investigated. Yuan Peng, what do you think?"
Yuan Peng was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly named, and then immediately stood on his side and supported him to continue digging deeper. As the one with the weakest voice in the alliance, he needs this opportunity to speak.
Lu Shan couldn't help but sneer.
In the end, under the leadership of Meng Qing, the flattery of Yuan Peng, and the silence of Qi Yun, Lu Shan's opinion was ignored again, and everyone "unanimously" decided to dig deeper into the name of the organization recommended by Shi Jin.
Lu Shan listened to their discussion coldly, her heart full of ridicule - as expected, conceited people are the easiest to deal with. As long as she takes the initiative to eliminate the correct options, Meng Qing will automatically lead everyone in the wrong direction.
...
At the beginning of the afternoon meeting, Zhang Zhuoyuan began to announce the information of each recommended organization one by one in the order on the list, and let everyone vote on whether to let the organization be listed.
The atmosphere in the conference room became tense, and everyone was ready to deal with the next battle without gunpowder.
"The information of the first organization has been announced, and everyone can express their opinions." Zhang Zhuoyuan announced according to the procedure.
Shi Jin was the first to speak. He pulled out a document from under his arm and said, "I think this organization called Empty Nest is not suitable for listing. This is the information that I asked my second brother to find out during lunch. Look here. The city where this Empty Nest organization is located has frequently had usury disputes in the past year. Members of this organization have been in and out of the police station for violent debt collection and personal injury, and have recently been involved in a murder case. I think such an organization with an illegal business structure and unreasonable behavior is not suitable for listing."
Everyone looked at Shi Jin, their eyes fell on the information in his hand, and their expressions were stiff.
He spoke up. Shi Jin was the first to speak up and find fault with the list. He also prepared the information in such a short time. Shi Jin's behavior was too different from Lian Jun, who didn't care about anything.
"Murder case?" Zhang Zhuoyuan immediately took it seriously. He took the information from Shi Jin's hand and flipped through it. Then his expression darkened and he decided on the spot to remove this organization. He said with a dark face, "The leader of the organization who recommended this organization please contact me separately. I need to know why you recommended this organization."
The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became dark. Everyone was suspicious. They didn't expect that Shi Jin could remove an organization from the list so easily.
Yuan Peng stared at Shi Jin with a dark face, his hands clenched - yes, this Kongchao was the organization he recommended. Snake Fang was short of money recently, and in order to make up for the loss, he had people set up several illegal small organizations and started a loan sharking business. This Kongchao was the best and cleanest one among them. He originally wanted to expand this organization by listing it, but he didn't expect that Shi Jin actually found out all the news and cases that he had sent people to suppress.
It was only noon time, how did Shi Jin find out all this! Or did Shi Jin know that he was going to recommend Kongchao, so he made preparations early? Is there a traitor inside Snake Fang?
The more he thought about it, the more his intention to kill Shi Jin grew.
Shi Jin glanced at his progress bar which suddenly rose to 700, and raised his eyebrows slightly - guess, guess, you can't guess it even if you die, these data were actually provided by Zhang Zhuoyuan. Who else but the official can bring up all the suppressed news and cases in such a short time? It's really stupid. After the high
-profile opening, Shi Jin regained his composure and stopped picking on other alternative organizations. His ups and downs made the leaders of other organizations who were on edge feel a little unprepared. But soon, the leaders were on edge again, because the leaders of large organizations such as Meng Qing, especially Yuan Peng, suddenly opened fire in turn, contrary to their usual behavior, and took down several organizations in a row with a strong attitude.
The atmosphere in the conference room sank to the bottom. The leaders of the organizations whose recommendation was rejected were full of confusion and anger. They couldn't understand what happened to the leaders of the big organizations this year. Why did they suddenly become so strict and suppress all the recommended organizations that would have been approved in previous years, as if they would not give other organizations any chance to survive or develop.
The list was quickly halfway through, and so far, not a single candidate organization had passed. Everyone was almost laughing in anger. Oh, no, there was one candidate that passed, but that candidate organization was obviously recommended by a subordinate organization of a big organization, so it was not surprising that it passed!
The atmosphere of dissatisfaction was slowly brewing. Shi Jin calculated the moment, and when Yuan Peng was about to bite off another organization, he spoke up, "Senior Yuan, haven't you gone too far? I know you want to take down the organization I recommended, but you are attacking so many organizations and leaving no way out. Don't you think it's unfair to other organizations that have worked so hard to develop? For example, although I also want to take down the organizations you recommended, I won't cast a wide net and attack at will. Instead, I will conduct investigations in advance and strike accurately."
The leaders of the major organizations who were secretly angry couldn't help but look at him in surprise when they saw that he actually stood up for them.
As soon as the words "precise strike" came out, Yuan Peng's face immediately turned bad, Meng Qing and Qi Yun's expressions also changed slightly, and Lu Shan even directly retorted, saying: "We just did what we would do in previous years. What is the intention of Deputy Chief Shi to put a hat on us like this?"
Qi Yun saw Lu Shan speak, and thought to himself that it was not good - he shouldn't speak. In this atmosphere, Shi Jin has already occupied the "hearts of the people", and there is no benefit in arguing with him. And...
He flipped through the list and always felt that something was wrong.
When they decided to remove the organizations recommended by Shi Jin, they immediately screened the list and only intended to remove the most suspicious organizations. They did not intend to "open fire on a wide range of organizations." However, strangely, the organizations they suspected were all concentrated in the first half of the meeting discussion, which led everyone to have the illusion that they were attacking indiscriminately.
It seemed that they had fallen into a trap and Shi Jin was trying to attract hatred for them.
"I just hope that you seniors can be more tolerant of the juniors. We all have to make a living. Being too independent will be disliked by everyone." Shi Jin said with a hint of meaning, and suddenly pulled out another document and said, "Director Zhang, I think the Sanzhou recommended by Wolf Spider is not suitable for listing. According to my investigation, although Sanzhou is only a transportation organization on the surface, it actually also engages in smuggling and selling contraband and human beings."
Everyone was stunned, and then they realized that Zhang Zhuoyuan had just announced the information of the next recommended organization, and the name of that organization was Sanzhou.
Is this the organization recommended by Wolf Spider? Everyone looked at Lu Shan vaguely.
When the recommended organization was directly pointed out, Lu Shan's expression darkened and she turned her head to look at Shi Jin fiercely.
Shi Jin refused to give in. He handed the information to Zhang Zhuoyuan and called out, "Director Zhang."
Zhang Zhuoyuan came back to his senses, glanced at Lu Shan, reached out to take the information, flipped through it briefly, and then his expression darkened. He couldn't help but say, "I have repeatedly emphasized that the recommended organization must not be involved in human deaths or serious crimes. Do you all ignore my words?"
Lu Shan retorted, "Sanzhou only had one or two violations in the past. Later, after I took over, the business structure was changed. Shi Jin is picking on people!"
"Can the criminal record of an organization's past crimes be erased just because the boss has changed? That doesn't make sense." Shi Jin retorted without giving in.
"That's enough. The three states are disqualified. Everyone, be quiet and discuss this!" Zhang Zhuoyuan made the final decision and disqualified the three states.
Lu Shan was so angry that she slammed the table.
When the leaders of other organizations saw this, they felt relieved for some reason - the organizations they recommended were disqualified by the leaders of these big organizations, and now the ones they recommended themselves were also disqualified. Great!
Qi Yun was quick to notice the change in the atmosphere in the conference room, and looked at Shi Jin across the room with deep eyes - as expected, this Shi Jin was trying to sow discord between them and other small and medium-sized organizations, trying to isolate them. Shi Jin couldn't be allowed to continue to provoke them. They were not Lian Jun and Mie, and they didn't need the admiration and reputation of other small and medium-sized organizations.
Soon, the information of the next organization was submitted. Meng Qing was supposed to take down this organization, but Meng Qing did not speak as planned. Qi Yun turned his head to look at him and saw that Meng Qing was also frowning and looking thoughtful. He knew that he was thinking the same thing as him, so he shut up, took out his phone and sent a text message to Lu Shan and Yuan Peng respectively.
The rhythm of the meeting suddenly returned to normal. The big organization no longer spoke casually to target them. Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful to Shi Jin for helping out.
Qi Yun frowned even more after discovering this. Although he was unwilling, he did not act rashly.
In the following time, the organizations recommended by Qi Yun and Meng Qing also entered the discussion process one after another. Shi Jin was very well prepared, and he presented information one by one, and he rejected all the organizations they recommended with sufficient reasonable reasons. Not only that, Shi Jin also targeted the organizations recommended by Qianye and Wumen vassal organizations, and found faults one by one.
At this point, Qi Yun and others could not see that Zhang Zhuoyuan was behind Shi Jin's precise attack today, and they could just cut off their brains and use them as a stool!
——Shi Jin really has a close relationship with the official, and Zhang Zhuoyuan is helping Shi Jin to target them!
The situation is not good, Qi Yun and Meng Qing feel heavy in their hearts, and they are more determined to get rid of Shi Jin.
Just like that, the list was gradually discussed and the meeting came to an end. This year, there were only five recommended organizations that passed the discussion, a record low number. Until this point, Qi Yun and the others still didn't know which organization Shi Jin recommended.
At the end of the meeting, Zhang Zhuoyuan announced the results of the review of the list of the previous year, put up a plaque for a new batch of legal organizations, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting. Shi Jin
was the first to get up and leave. He walked to the deck and stood with Xiang Aoting, standing at the last shift of the meeting.
The leaders of the major organizations left the meeting room one after another. Liu Zhenjun and Zhang Zhuoyuan gathered everyone together as usual, said some clichés, and said that in order to prevent the situation like last year, where the big organizations took the opportunity to attack other big organizations after the official ships withdrew, this year the official specially sent a helicopter to "escort" the big organizations' ships to evacuate, and then officially announced the successful conclusion of the meeting.
While Zhang Zhuoyuan was talking, Xiang Aoting and Shi Jin said hello and led the team to the back deck. After a while, several armed helicopters took off and hovered above the crowd.
Yuan Peng had a gloomy expression. He exchanged a glance with Qi Yun and Meng Qing, then glanced at Shi Jin obliquely, and was the first to leave.
Shi Jin looked at his progress bar that had risen to 800, but his heart was still calm. He turned his head and chatted with Fei Yujing.
Amid the roar of helicopters, the ships of various organizations separated one after another, and then drove towards the distant sea in batches. After about half an hour, only official ships and ships of several large organizations were left.
Shi Jin once again tried to invite Zhang Zhuoyuan to go back to the island with him for a drink, but Zhang Zhuoyuan directly refused. Shi Jin did not force it. After politely saying goodbye, he took Gua Er, Fei Yujing and Li Jiuzheng, stepped onto the crossbridge and walked towards the destroyed ship.
"Shi Jin." Zhang Zhuoyuan suddenly called him. Shi Jin
turned around and looked at him.
"Please remember the oath you swore when you entered the police academy. You are an excellent police officer trained by the motherland and our future comrade-in-arms and partner." Zhang Zhuoyuan said, with a hint of meaning.
Gua Er turned to look at Zhang Zhuoyuan, the corners of his mouth raised coldly. Shi Jin
stopped him for a moment, turned to look at Zhang Zhuoyuan, and said: "Director Zhang, I dare not forget the oath for a day, and I hope you will not forget the promise you once made. As long as Lian Jun is alive, I will be an excellent police officer in your eyes for the rest of my life." After that, he raised his hand and saluted him, turned around and walked towards the destroyed ship without looking back.
"Director Zhang, I will tell Master Jun what you said today." Gua Er continued, sneered at Zhang Zhuoyuan, turned around and followed.
Fei Yujing and Li Jiuzheng also glanced at Zhang Zhuoyuan and followed him.
In the sky, Xiang Aoting's helicopter slowly moved and stopped above the ship, ready to escort Shi Jin to evacuate.
Zhang Zhuoyuan's eyes turned around the sky bridge, and his expression suddenly became tired. He said, "Major General Liu, when will these things end... Why is it that such a troublesome Shi Jin is standing next to Lian Jun?"
Liu Zhenjun glanced at the large organization ships parked quietly around him and said, "Director Zhang, I know you have your considerations, but here, the meritorious generals who have surrendered cannot be killed." After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Zhang Zhuoyuan standing alone on the deck.
Zhang Zhuoyuan was silent, watching the large organization ships that dispersed in different directions after the ship was destroyed, and sighed deeply.
...
After Shi Jin returned to the ship, he immediately received a call from Lu Shan.
"Yuan Peng has arranged an ambush on the route you are heading for. Meng Qing and Wumen have helped him to transfer personnel and ships, a total of more than 20 ships. Be careful." Lu Shan instructed, and asked for confirmation, "Is everything really okay on your side?"
"No problem." Shi Jin replied, thanked her and hung up the phone, and told Gua Wu who came up to him, "Pay attention to the movements around you. After my fourth brother leaves, immediately change the route and turn around to meet Gua Yi."
Gua Wu responded and turned around to make arrangements.
After Shi Jin finished speaking, he glanced at the top of his head. Although he knew that Xiang Aoting would definitely not be able to see him flying so high, he still smiled and waved at him, then stepped into the cabin.
Half an hour later, Xiang Aoting received the signal to return to the assembly. After suppressing his reluctance and saying goodbye to Shi Jin, he turned around and returned to the direction where the official ship was.
Fei Yujing frowned and asked, "Why don't you let Lao Si stay to help you?"
"He represents the official. With him here, I can't do anything too much. Besides, this time it's a matter of destroying the other four organizations, so it's not good to involve him." Shi Jin replied. After confirming that Gua Wu had asked the captain to change course, he called Gua Yi to confirm the information.
Fei Yujing looked at Shi Jin who was busy in an orderly manner, stretched out his hand to hold down Li Jiuzheng who had a serious expression beside him, and pulled him out of the cabin.
"Second brother, what are you doing?" Li Jiuzheng struggled, not wanting to leave Shi Jin's side.
"Don't disturb him." Fei Yujing grabbed him and said, "Xiao Jin has grown up, and this is his battlefield. Jiuzheng, it's time for you to grow up too."
Li Jiuzheng was stunned, stopped struggling, turned around to look at Shi Jin who was surrounded by Gua Wu and others, pursed his lips, and was obediently pulled away by him.
...
Yuan Peng was the first to receive the news that Shi Jin changed his course, and ordered without hesitation: "Chase!"
Lu Shan deliberately advised: "Yuan Peng, during the previous meeting, you did not hide your hostility towards Shi Jin at all. Shi Jin must have realized something. His temporary change of course must be a conspiracy. I advise you not to chase him. There may be a trap waiting for you ahead."
"At this point, Shi Jin must be eliminated. What if there is a trap? As long as the force is sufficient to suppress it, there is no need to be afraid of the trap." Yuan Peng was very confident and did not forget to hint at Lu Shan, "In our line of work, we can't be too timid. Women are still too lacking in impulse."
Lu Shan didn't expect that after being the leader for so many years, she could still hear such sexist words. She sneered and stopped talking.
"What Lu Shan said makes sense. We must not pursue the enemy blindly." Meng Qing stood up and spoke for Lu Shan, and instructed Yuan Peng, "Be careful, I will transfer some more people over. No matter what Shi Jin plans, we must let him die at sea this time."
Qi Yun also spoke up and said, "I will also transfer people for support."
Lu Shan poured cold water on him, "What if he is planning to lure you over there to trick you, then what you are doing now is giving him food."
No one responded to her words. Everyone was already a little fed up with her so-called rational remarks. The most taboo thing in the alliance is that there is someone who desperately sings a different tune from everyone, which will destroy the atmosphere and unity.
Lu Shan also realized this, and acted dissatisfied and embarrassed, and finally compromised, saying: "I have people who can be transferred here."
"That's right, we are a whole, it's best to act together. Don't worry, this is at sea, it's not easy for Shi Jin to temporarily transfer help, you don't have to worry too much." Meng Qing stepped forward and handed her a ladder, barely smoothing the atmosphere.
