Official Career Storm

Chapter 1753: Chapter 1753

Director Ma considered himself a veteran, but in front of Liang Jianfeng, he felt like a rookie.

He put away his phone and said to the accompanying officers, "Xiao Zhang, go back and apply for a search warrant. Come over immediately once you get it."

Xiao Zhang asked, "Aren’t you going back, Director Ma?"

"Xiao Li and I have another task."

"Oh."

Beside him, Xiao Li was full of confusion. How come there was suddenly a new task?

Xiao Zhang drove away, and Director Ma turned and walked toward the convenience store across the street.

The two stood in front of the convenience store’s street-facing window, and Xiao Li curiously asked, "Director Ma, what task is it?"

"Surveillance."

Xiao Li looked through the window glass at the immigration company across the street, suddenly realizing, "Are we watching Chairman Xie?"

"Mm."

Xiao Li was still puzzled. Why watch him?

Once the search warrant goes through, we can go directly to his door.

Just as he was wondering, Xiao Li saw Chairman Xie come out of the immigration company across the street.

He turned to look at Director Ma and found that Director Ma saw it too.

Chairman Xie walked to the roadside and drove away.

Once the car was far enough, Director Ma walked out of the convenience store and stood by the roadside, looking around. Xiao Li was curious about what Director Ma was watching.

"Let’s go." Director Ma’s voice brought him back, and he quickly followed.

Director Ma walked toward a residential building next to the convenience store.

They went all the way to the sixth floor and climbed onto the rooftop terrace.

From this position, they had a perfect view of the immigration company across the street.

Xiao Zhang roughly understood; Director Ma was watching the immigration company.

But he still didn’t get why they were doing this.

After holding it in for a while, Xiao Zhang couldn’t resist asking, "Director Ma, are we watching the place across the street?"

"Mm."

"Why are we surveilling?"

Director Ma intentionally tested him, "Do you think Chairman Xie was telling the truth?"

Xiao Li thought carefully for a few seconds and shook his head, "He’s lying."

"Oh?" Director Ma was surprised, "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Li explained, "Director Song’s attitude towards the park is very firm. If he was really taking bribes, those companies involved would have been fine long ago. Obviously, someone set Director Song up."

This is a very simple logic, even if a passerby knew a bit of the background, they could guess it.

Director Ma said, "Since Chairman Xie lied, don’t you think he’s too calm? It seems like he’s not worried about the search warrant at all."

"It is strange..." Xiao Li pondered.

Director Ma said, "Actually, it’s not strange, because Chairman Xie never intended to cooperate with us from the start."

Xiao Li frowned, "Once the search warrant is issued, whether he wants to or not, he must cooperate."

Director Ma said, "What if all of Director Song’s materials disappear?"

"Disappear?" Xiao Li furrowed his brows even more tightly, "If Chairman Xie is lying, then there’s no evidence. Without evidence, how do you make it disappear?"

Director Ma said with a mysterious smile, "It’s precisely because there isn’t any, that it needs to disappear. Once it’s gone, whether it existed or not, it’s all up to Chairman Xie’s word."

Xiao Li’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he suddenly understood. He fixed his eyes on the immigration company across the street, "He’s going to set a fire!"

The simplest and most reasonable way to make evidence disappear is to burn it in a fire!

Throughout history, time and again, it has shown the world that the most masterful strategies aren’t complicated maneuvers; they’re straightforward actions disguised as something else!

Similarly, the most clever business wars aren’t underhanded tricks, they’re about boldly cutting the network cable or stealing the company seal.

If Chairman Xie wants to destroy "evidence," a fire is the simplest and most effective method.

Even if everyone suspects something is wrong with the fire, it won’t matter.

Time ticked away, minute by minute.

Around five o’clock, Xiao Zhang called, "Director Ma, the search warrant is issued."

"Come over, but park the car far away when you arrive."

"Oh." Xiao Zhang didn’t quite understand this request from Director Ma, but as a subordinate, he didn’t ask further questions.

By half-past five, the immigration company’s doors opened, and the employees began to leave for the day.

At six o’clock, Xiao Zhang finally returned; he was delayed quite a bit due to the traffic jam during the peak hour.

As soon as Xiao Zhang appeared, his phone rang.

"Hello, Director Ma..."

"Turn around, walk to the left, there’s an apartment building, come up."

Xiao Zhang turned his head and walked a few steps; sure enough, he saw an apartment building.

He went all the way to the top floor and saw the two leaning against the wall, smoking.

"Director Ma." Xiao Zhang handed the search warrant to him, curious about what they were doing here, as if it were a scene from a spy movie.

Director Ma glanced at it, then returned the search warrant, "Keep it safe."

Xiao Zhang asked, "Director Ma, aren’t we going to the company?"

"No rush." Director Ma exhaled a puff of smoke, stood up, and turned around, looking down.

They waited until eight o’clock that evening.

During that time, they bought instant noodles and sausages from the convenience store downstairs to make do.

During this period, Xiao Li also learned on the spot, asking Xiao Zhang in a test-like tone if he knew why they were waiting here.

With Xiao Li’s gradual guidance, Xiao Zhang understood why they were waiting here.

"He’s here." Xiao Li’s eyes lit up, "Director Ma, Chairman Xie is here!"

Xiao Zhang quickly looked down, and Director Ma glanced downward, seeing Chairman Xie stepping out of a taxi and heading straight into the company.

Director Ma adjusted his coat and said, "Let’s go."

...

Chairman Xie entered the company without turning on the lights. He took out A4 paper for printing and pulled out a lighter to ignite it.

At first, it was a small flame, but with his deliberate arson, the fire grew bigger and bigger.

He grabbed the burning paper and scattered it across the office as if scattering flowers.

The curtains caught fire, the documents on the desk caught fire, and the fire was developing toward an uncontrollable state.

Chairman Xie didn’t dare linger and quickly headed toward the main door.

Just as he opened the glass door, he saw several silhouettes in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment, and upon seeing Director Ma and the others, his expression froze instantly.

"Di... Director Ma..." Chairman Xie’s eye twitched, momentarily losing his ability to think.

Director Ma smiled, "Arson is one of the eight major crimes, Chairman Xie. You’re even bolder than I imagined."

Upon hearing this, Chairman Xie’s mind exploded.

Was his arson witnessed?

"I, I..."

"Are you trying to say you didn’t?" Director Ma waved his phone in front of him, "It’s recorded."

Chairman Xie’s body stiffened even further.

Director Ma gestured with his chin, reminding him, "It’s burning up."

Chairman Xie slowly turned his head; the previously pitch-black office was now ablaze.

Clang!

Director Ma revealed the handcuffs, and Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang each went forward and cuffed his hands behind his back.

With a clacking sound, his left hand was cuffed.

Then they pushed him to the roadside and cuffed the other hand to the guardrail.

Director Ma searched him, took out his phone to prevent him from contacting anyone.

After finishing that, the three rushed into the office to put out the fire.

Watching the three of them fight the fire with all their might, panic welled up inside Chairman Xie.

He knew he was finished.
