An'an first looked at me, and then at Wang Xiaoling.
Wang Xiaoling took out a document from her handbag and placed it in front of An'an, saying, "Since the nationwide campaign to crack down on organized crime began, we have received a lot of practical suggestions from the public..."
The allegations, whether made by name or anonymously, all target Cao Jinbo… From 2006 to 2013, Cao Jinbo engaged in illegal private lending activities. In April 2009, because he failed to collect a loan on time, he illegally detained a migrant worker surnamed Wu in Shuanglang, subjecting him to various forms of humiliation and beatings. Unable to endure the abuse, Wu committed suicide by ingesting paraquat three days later… In May 2011, he was suspected of raping a female teacher surnamed Li. Li's husband was also involved in the case. He was severely beaten and later had his henchmen take the blame for him… In September 2014, due to a dispute over profits, he assaulted a Mr. Zhang, a Beijing businessman who had invested in a bar business in Dali, causing Mr. Zhang to suffer a perforated eardrum, constituting a minor injury. He then colluded with the landlord to illegally seize the bar… That same year, he rented a room in the Fuli Hotel in Xiaguan to operate an online casino, colluding with overseas casinos and illegally profiting millions… During this time, a gambler surnamed Liu, unable to repay his gambling debts, jumped from the top floor of the Fuli Hotel, ostensibly committing suicide…
Wang Xiaoling put down the documents in her hand, and after a moment of silence, she whispered to An'an, "These are just some of the reports directly or indirectly made by the victims... It's possible that some people are choosing to remain silent out of fear of retaliation from Cao Jinbo... For Cao Jinbo, these are all child's play. His real evil lies in his past experience of trafficking drugs overseas... He once colluded with overseas drug traffickers to murder an undercover narcotics police officer... That officer was my father... His hands are stained with blood, and he has destroyed countless families. If such a person can still live in this world and get away with it, how will fairness and the law be trampled upon?"
