A few police officers said awkwardly, "This... this is an order from Secretary Tang."

"Hmph, once in our Public Security Bureau, it's us who call the shots," Dai Bin said disdainfully, "Hurry up and cuff his hands and feet. We need to interrogate this guy thoroughly and extract useful information from him, then follow the trail to round up all the drug traffickers, ensuring the safety of the people's lives and property."

"Yes!" The officers nodded hastily.

Lin Chuan sneered, "Who dares!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an impressive momentum. Sitting there, just one sentence was enough to stop the officers in their tracks. The group was shocked, staring wide-eyed and tongue-tied, utterly at a loss. Even Dai Bin was somewhat taken aback.

This unassuming fellow before them unexpectedly had such an imposing aura. Even he had been stopped in his tracks by him. If the other party really were a criminal, perhaps he himself would have backed down. The other's aura and gaze alone were starting to frighten him. Fortunately, this was the Public Security Bureau, his domain.

Dai Bin's face flushed with anger as he shouted, "Shackle him immediately."

Just as Lin Chuan was about to react, he suddenly heard someone at the door say, "Hold on."

It turned out to be Song Jianguo. Everyone present recognized him, and a chill ran through them.

Song Jianguo said, "I came here for Lin Chuan. This case is of great importance, and now the Provincial Public Security Department will take over. There's no need for you to intervene."

"Ah?!" Everyone present was astonished.

"What? Didn't hear me clearly?" Song Jianguo said with a smile.

"No, no, no!" Director Liu jumped in shock and said awkwardly, "Heard it loud and clear. Since you've said so, then... the Provincial Public Security Department will take over. However, the evidence of Lin Chuan's drug trafficking is indisputable, with both witness and physical evidence, and the case is severe, with a very negative impact, so…"

"Does the Provincial Public Security Department need your instructions?" Song Jianguo sneered disdainfully.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Director Liu hastily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said awkwardly, "I trust the Provincial Committee will give the public, and the people of Jiangbei City, an explanation."

Song Jianguo's trip to Jiangbei City was also done in a rush, only bringing along a secretary and an assistant who also doubled as a driver. Tang Yumeng only brought Xiao Xue. Tang Yumeng drove herself, in her own Mercedes.

"Xiao Zhang, take Lin Chuan away," Song Jianguo ordered.

"Yes!" Assistant Xiao Zhang, a towering man of 1.8 meters in a neatly pressed black suit, after retiring from the special forces, became Secretary Song's assistant, bodyguard, and driver. Xiao Zhang glanced at Lin Chuan and then said, "Lin Chuan, come with me."

Lin Chuan patted the dust off his body, then said, "Alright, let's go."

Lin Chuan gave Song Jianguo a look, surprised that Song Jianguo would stand up for him. However, seeing both Tang Yumeng and Song Jianguo come together, he seemed to understand. Before leaving, Lin Chuan gave Director Liu a glance and said, "Director Liu, I'm taking my leave first."

Lin Chuan strode out confidently, with Tang Yumeng and Song Jianguo also turning to depart.

Lin Chuan got into Tang Yumeng's Mercedes. Xiao Xue took the front passenger seat, Tang Yumeng slid into the driver's seat, and Song Jianguo sat in the back. Lin Chuan and Song Jianguo sat side by side.

"Young people still can't resist being impulsive," Song Jianguo said with a chuckle, "Lin Chuan, you've really worried Secretary Tang to death."

Tang Yumeng laughed and said, "Secretary Song, we really owe you one this time."

"It's nothing," Song Jianguo replied with a smile, "Actually, when it all comes down to it, I should thank Lin Chuan."

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Secretary Song, this couldn't be your original intention, right?"

Song Jianguo paused, then laughed heartily, "Lin Chuan, you're very clever. However, make sure not to outsmart yourself."

Lin Chuan fell silent, and the car's atmosphere turned still. Song Jianguo's official car followed behind all the way to the entrance of Changlin Factory.

"Lin Chuan, I visited your mom these past few days, and she's very worried about you," Tang Yumeng said as she pulled the car over, "I told her you've been busy with something. Your home is now unsealed, and your mom has moved back in. You should head back quickly as well, to give her some peace of mind."

"I'm just going to go back like this?" Lin Chuan asked in surprise.

"What else?" Song Jianguo inquired.

"Shouldn't I be going to the provincial city?" Lin Chuan asked.

Song Jianguo burst into laughter, "Haha... Secretary Tang has already vouched for you, so now you can go home. However, your movements will still be restricted. As long as you don't leave the country, you can go wherever you want."

"Er..." Lin Chuan was startled and said, "There were several pounds of 'flour', how can you let me go so easily?"

"Extraordinary situations require extraordinary measures. Besides, there must be another side to your story," Song Jianguo said smilingly, "So, go home. The Provincial Public Security Department will take over the case. As for the final outcome, you will be informed. Of course, it doesn't rule out you having to appear in court."

"I understand," Lin Chuan nodded.

With that, Lin Chuan opened the door and stepped out. Song Jianguo also got out of the car.
