Game within game: chess player

It was already early in the morning when he returned to the Beiwan Club. Ye Fang took a shower to slightly relieve his tired body. He fell on the bed and reorganized the somewhat complicated situation. He felt deeply that he was short of manpower. He needed manpower, manpower.

Thinking of this, his first call was to Liu Jianbai. Without any preamble or greetings, he said directly, "I need manpower."

"Okay, everything will be in place within three days." Liu Jianbai affirmed.

"Why don't you ask me what kind of manpower I need?" Ye Fang asked with a smile.

"I will provide you with all the manpower you can imagine." Liu Jianbai affirmed again.

"Okay, hang up." Ye Fang hung up the phone directly.

Liu Jianbai looked serious on the other side of the phone. He immediately got up and packed up and asked the driver to take him directly to Xiangshan. As for who he was going to meet, no one knew.

Ye Fang's second call was to Ye Youxin. Again, there was no opening remarks or greetings, and he said directly, "I need manpower."

"Okay, we'll be there within two days." Ye Youxin confirmed.

"I want someone who I trust absolutely, someone who can give my back to the other person." Ye Fang said.

"That's for sure." Ye Youxin paused and said, "You have to pay attention to your safety. Your mother has been talking about you these days. Please call her back."

"Okay, I understand." Ye Fang hung up the phone again.

Ye Fang's third call was to Ma Zhengping. Although Ma Zhengping is now retired, Ye Fang still makes a habit of calling him when he encounters difficult things, and no matter how late it is, Ma Zhengping will always be there. Answer calls within three rings, and this time was no exception.

"Why are you in trouble again?" Ma Zhengping asked.

"It's okay. Things in Guangzhou are a bit tricky, but overall they're still under control," Ye Fang said.

"Although I don't know what's going on, I will do everything within my ability. You are not a god, and not everything has to be carried by yourself." Ma Zhengping's sincere words made Ye Fang feel much more at ease.

"I feel like I'm already on the boat, and it seems like I can't get off." Ye Fang said with a bitter smile.

"We all came here this way, as long as we have a clear conscience." Ma Zhengping said slowly.

"I understand, godfather, please rest early." Ye Fang said.

"Next time you return to Beijing, come and see the children." Ma Zhengping said.

"Okay." Then Ye Fang hung up the phone, looked at the starry sky outside the window, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Within three days, several groups of people sneaked into Guangzhou through different channels and gathered at the Beiwan Club. Everyone was arranged on the underground floors of the Beiwan Club. This place was originally a fitness club, but now it has been completely cleared out. It is filled with tables, chairs, benches and other furniture needed for office work. Now the entire club is a secret office base.

There were three other people who arrived at the Beiwan Club at the same time. One was Ke Wenbai, a 36-year-old male who belongs to the Supreme Commission for Discipline Inspection. He is Liu Jianbai's right-hand man and has very rich experience in handling cases. It can be said that he fell into his hands. All the officials shocked the princes and officials in one place. There is also a woman named Wei Shuang, 28 years old this year. She belongs to the Discipline Inspection Committee of the Ministry of Public Security and is responsible for gang-related cases nationwide. She is very experienced in handling cases in this area and was directly selected by Liu Jianbai to come to the Beiwan Club.

There was another person Ye Fang knew, Ye Chengguang from the Ye family. This time, Ye Youxin was removed from the army and came to assist Ye Fang in his work. Until he stood in front of the Beiwan Club, Ye Chengguang didn't know Ye Fang's identity, nor did he know that the direct leader of this operation was Ye Fang.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the door of the club, Lan Lu was already waiting. After exchanging pleasantries, Lan Lu led the three of them towards the depths of the club. On the way, Ke Wenbo and Wei Shuang looked at the luxury of the club and couldn't help but sigh, "This is the best office space they have ever stayed in, bar none." "

"You three, please come in!" Lan Lu sent the three of them into a closed room and then left. The three of them walked into the room with confused faces. It looked like a study. There is a sofa and a desk. Inside the desk there is an office chair with its back facing three people, and one person is sitting on the office chair.

"Sit down, you three." A deep voice came from inside the desk.

Ke Wenbo and the three of them sat down with hesitant expressions. Only Ye Chengguang looked at the seat with a slightly surprised look. Apparently he thought the voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.

"Hello everyone, welcome to Guangzhou!" Ye Fang slowly turned around.

"It's you!" Ye Chengguang stood up reflexively when he saw Ye Fang.

Ye Fang smiled slightly and motioned for Ye Chengguang to sit down. Then he glanced at the faces of the three people and said, "My name is Ye Fang. We will work together for some time in the future. I don't care which privileged department you are from, here in Guangzhou I will be your direct leader for a while.”

"Are you our leader?!" Wei Shuang's eyes flashed with a look of distrust, and he asked unceremoniously, "Our supervisors don't even know who they are here to meet. How can I believe that you are the one we want to meet?" people."

"This is my ID. I also have the file information of the three of you here, all of which were sent through secret channels." Ye Fang threw his ID and the file information in his hand on the table, and Wei Shuang took it over with doubt. Certificates and documents. The files and information of the three people are classified as first-level secrets in their respective departments, and cannot be retrieved without the authorization of senior leaders. The three people took another look at Ye Fang's ID, and their pupils could not help but shrink. Ke Wenbo, who was in the disciplinary department, recognized Ye Fang's ID at a glance. It was the highest level of privilege certification after Liu Jianbai. With this ID, Ye Fang could directly mobilize the provincial-level disciplinary supervision department to handle the case.

Although Ye Fang is young, his background is not simple. Ke Wenbo respectfully handed the certificate and documents back to Ye Fang.

"Is there no problem now?" After receiving affirmative answers from the three people, Ye Fang continued to ask, "Does anyone guess what the action is this time?"

“Anti-corruption!”

"Anti-black!"

"Anti-terrorism!"

"Anti-terrorism?!" Ye Fang, Ke Wenbo and Wei Shuang all looked at Ye Chengguang, which made Ye Chengguang a little confused and said, "When I came, the head of the headquarters authorized me to directly mobilize special forces. Isn't this an anti-terrorism operation? "

Hearing Ye Chengguang's words, Ke Wenbo and Wei Shuang immediately realized that this operation was not simple. Ye Fang knocked on the table and said solemnly, "You are all right. What you said may happen in the future. This time, we mobilized people from all over the country. More than [-] investigators came here, and all of them signed confidentiality agreements. If anyone is found to have leaked secrets, they will be punished directly. This operation is the largest anti-gang and anti-evil operation since the reform and opening up. It is also a major anti-corruption case involving officials. The high level, large number of people, and the amount of money involved have all set historical records, and the complexity is also considered the first case in the country. Except for No. [-] of the Provincial Party Committee, no local investigators are involved in this operation. How many people will be involved in the specific case? No one knows, so I have to trouble you all to lead a team of people to handle the case."

"Team Leader Ye, do you mean it's rotten from top to bottom?" Ke Wenbo asked.

"Probably not, but the number of officials involved will definitely be very large. This time, case investigators from the Organization Department will join in. While arresting the officials involved, we must also ensure the normal operation of various agencies. We will arrest one and replace the other when necessary. Officials at all levels can be transferred from outside," Ye Fang replied.

"Team Leader Ye, do you have detailed information on the local underworld forces?" Wei Shuang asked.

"Yes, but more detailed information still needs to be sorted out, so be careful not to alert the enemy." Ye Fang reminded.

"Understood." Wei Shuang said.

"The entire task force will be divided into three groups. Ke Wenbai is the leader of the first group, responsible for investigating the background and property of officials involved in the provincial and municipal governments, and collecting and fixing corruption evidence. Wei Shuang is the leader of the second group, responsible for the province, especially Guangzhou The city's evil forces are mobilized, evidence and witnesses are collected, investigated and evidence collected. Ye Chengguang is the leader of the third group, which is the back-up support mobile group, responsible for the resource coordination of the entire task force, department docking and tactical command during the decisive battle. Do you understand? "Ye Fang asked.

"Understood!" The three of them stood up and replied in unison.

"One more thing, my identity is only disclosed to the three of you, but kept secret from others. My code name is Zero, and the code name of this operation is Rolling Thunder!" Ye Fang said solemnly.

"Yes! Team leader!" the three of them replied in unison.

At this time, staff members transferred from all over the country were standing in eight columns on the basement floor of the Beiwan Club. Some of them were wearing suits, some were wearing police uniforms, and some were wearing military uniforms. Everyone stood up straight and waited for the task force. Leadership lectures. A few minutes later, Ke Wenbo, Wei Shuang and Ye Chengguang walked into the venue and stood at the front. Behind them were all electronic screens. All the investigators stood solemnly after seeing the three people entering the scene. Everyone thought that the three people could speak, but the three people automatically stood in front of the team, facing the electronic display screen.

Soon a figure appeared on the screen, and his voice was also changed, giving people a very mysterious feeling.

"Hello everyone, I am the person in charge of the task force for Operation Rolling Thunder. I am very sorry to meet you in this way. Mainly because I am... a little shy and not used to such crowded situations." Although Ye Fang wanted to let everyone relax on purpose, but unfortunately everyone stood solemnly and no one smiled. Only Ye Chengguang showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, thinking that his cheap brother was quite interesting.

"The case you are going to handle this time is a big one. It is complex and dangerous. You are likely to face the threat of death or serious injury when investigating and collecting evidence. You must be fully prepared for this. The enemies we face are very serious. They may be a group of thugs. When the case is not closed, you must pay attention to protecting your own safety. This is more important than anything else, and the more important thing is not to expose your identity."

"You are all elite case investigators drawn from various provinces and cities. I will not explain the basic confidentiality system to you. The only thing I need to emphasize is that once the secrets of this case are leaked, not only will I be punished by party discipline and state law, but also you The third generation of your children will forever lose the qualifications to take the public examination and join the army. After this major case is completed, each of you will be evaluated by your team leader based on your performance. Those who are evaluated as outstanding will be given the opportunity to be promoted when they return to the local area. The future will be long. The work will be very hard for a period of time. I am very considerate of everyone's hard work. This club belongs to me and I will provide you with super five-star services in the future. I just want everyone to eat well and work well!"

"Maybe we will have the opportunity to work together in the future, and I will remember your names. Maybe one day in the future I will go to your city. I hope that when my name is mentioned, you don't pretend not to know me. Number Zero , is my code name, Rolling Thunder, is the code name of this operation. Next, let me introduce to you your three team leaders..."

Ye Fang then introduced the three of Ke Wenbo to everyone, and then everyone was divided into three groups and officially started working from now on. In the next few days, Ke Wenbo and the others compiled in detail the list of all officials, including Fang Tianhua, provided by Ye Fang to several people. At the same time, they investigated the financial and asset status of everyone in the Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, and Justice Department, and carried out key monitoring of cadres above the department level.

Ke Wenbo was very experienced in this type of cases, and Ye Fang was confident enough to hand over this piece of business to him and give him full authority. The investigation of the underworld gang was even more complicated. Ye Fang handed over all the club information provided by Xiong Yang to Wei Shuang, and Wei Shuang used his authority to start investigating similar cases in the system. Ye Chengguang assisted Ye Fang in mobilizing resources, especially preparing for the deployment of troops from other places to quell the chaos in the future. He borrowed ten temporary detention and interrogation places from Linshi, a neighboring province, so that all persons arrested in the future would be tried and sentenced in other places.

Ke Wenbo has multiple plans to prepare who will be transferred first and then arrested, and who will be arrested first and then transferred. During this period, Xue Yuanshan came to the club again and listened to Ye Fang's on-site report. Xue Yuanshan also handed over to Ye Fang relevant clues about the illegal crimes of Fang Tianhua's interest group, which greatly promoted the progress of the action. Otherwise, the case information would not be compiled for another month.

Haidong and Wang Kai secretly investigated in the Guangzhou public security system during this period and also made great progress. They made records of police officers suspected of violating laws and disciplines in the public security system. Many of the evidence collected by the two can be used directly. At the same time, they also compiled a more detailed list of the crimes committed by local gangs and handed it over to the project. Team, with two people as internal agents, Ye Fang can get a lot of information in advance.

Ye Fang sorted out the list of key surveillance and arrestees and found that there were more than 3000 people. This posed a severe test for future arrests. The manpower required for surveillance alone was nearly a thousand people. Ye Fang expects that the number of police officers involved in arrests will exceed 2000 in the future. This does not include the arrests of members of the evil forces. Ye Chengguangguang has emptied three prisons and can accommodate [-] prisoners.

There is really not much time left for Ye Fang. The bidding for Haojiang will be a key node in ten days. At that time, Ye Fang will keep senior officials including Fang Tianhua in Haojiang, and then Operation Rolling Thunder will officially begin.

Soon the bidding time for Haojiang came. Zhou Guanglong called Ye Fang and told Ye Fang that the Haojiang tour group was ready and that more than 50 people would go to Haojiang in two batches.

"This is a luxury tour group!" Ye Fang couldn't help but sigh.

Just when Ye Fang lamented that the network was about to be closed, Wu Jianian sent Ye Fang a text message.

"The money has arrived, 25 billion!"
