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

Chapter 568 Have I finally latched onto a powerful figure? A bewildered Zhang Laifu

Everyone knows that I'm going to Beijing today to attend a month-long training course for young cadres.

This training program for young cadres is actually known in private as a training program for reserve cadres at the department and bureau levels.

Many people don't know how Qin Chuan got his spot in the training course.

Only a very few people knew that Qin Chuan's training was a ploy to lure the enemy away, a way to buy time for certain individuals to leave.

However, not everyone could see through such inside information, so most people thought that Qin Chuan had really been recommended and frequently attended this department-level reserve training course.

Keep in mind that Qin Chuan is only 25 years old.

At the age of 25, some people are still pursuing graduate studies in university, while others have just started working.

Those criminal police officers and regular police officers who graduated and started working in the same year as Qin Chuan are now taking the official employment exam after just one or two days of probation.

Qin Chuan, in just over a year, actually rose from a police officer in a township police station to the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, a position equivalent to a division chief.

Everyone says that rapid promotions are like riding a rocket, but someone like Qin Chuan probably got promoted like riding an atomic bomb.

This training program for young cadres suggests that within the next two or three years, or even four or five years, they could potentially become bureau-level officials by the age of 30.

Nationwide, while there are certainly some officials around 30 years old at the bureau or department level, they are extremely rare.

Zhang Laifu had great respect for Qin Chuan.

Just look at how the other party managed to dismantle two criminal gangs—the Buckingham Club and the Aijia Supermarket—in less than a week after arriving at the Linzhou Public Security Bureau.

Qin Chuan's character and work style are worthy of admiration from all police officers.

Zhang Laifu was thinking that after Qin Chuan returned from the training, he would lead them to do something big.

Although Zhang Laifu felt that Qin Chuan's departure midway through the case was not a good thing for solving the case, he believed that Qin Chuan's return would allow him to put his skills to good use and make a big splash.

What Zhang Laifu didn't expect was that if Qin Chuan really went to participate in this training, while there was still a possibility that he would make a big splash when he came back, the difficulty would increase exponentially.

Solving a case is like fighting a war. Catching the opponent off guard is a completely different level of difficulty compared to when the opponent has already prepared a defensive and offensive strategy.

This time, Qin Chuan used a clever plan, taking advantage of the other party's eagerness to destroy evidence of their crime.

Furthermore, Qin Chuan cleverly escaped undetected, leaving no one knowing of his arrival. This meant the other side wouldn't know he was back and would have to openly destroy evidence, thus creating an opportunity for Qin Chuan.

"Is that so? You're surprised to see me?"

Zhang Laifu nodded, bewildered.

How could I not be surprised? I just saw you off this morning, how come your plane from Beijing is back this afternoon? I just finished lunch.

"Weren't you away for training? How come you've gone back so quickly..."

Qin Chuan shook his head: "The capital is not my battlefield; Linzhou is."

"By the way, you drove your own car here, you didn't take a company car, did you?"

Zhang Laifu nodded: "Don't worry, Director Qin, I did exactly as you instructed. I thought you were going to ask me to do some personal business, so I didn't tell anyone and just sneaked out."

"Good, well done."

"By the way, besides you, only Director Zhang knows that I'm back. Don't worry about the working group that's being set up at the morning meeting; someone's keeping an eye on the case involving Zhang Dongwei and Aijia Supermarket Group. You don't need to worry about it for now. I've already arranged leave for you. From now on, you'll be working with me."

Zhang Laifu...

Does this mean I've finally found a powerful backer?
