The anti-smuggling police from Binjiang are investigating a major case.

Knowing too much is not good, as long as the subordinates are involved, receiving a share of the credit will suffice.

Zhang Junyan didn't want to stay any longer, patted Wang Changjiang's arm, smiled and nodded to Zhang Baoqing and the others, then headed back home.

Wang Changjiang came to his senses, wondering about how Salted Fish, not being the "Binjiang Water Army Commander," was so influential in Jiangcheng, Zhang Baoqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Director Wang, Director Tang from the Jiangnan Maritime Bureau was transferred from the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau, and he worked as a director for many years in Binjiang."

"So Director Han knew Director Tang long ago!"

"Director Wang, Secretary Han not only knows Director Tang."

The Deputy Division Commander of the Criminal Investigation Team at the Changhang Jiangcheng Branch, Li Yunsheng, who had met Han Yu several times and was quite familiar with the newly established Jiangnan Maritime Bureau that directly falls under the Ministry of Transport Maritime Bureau, smiled as he added, "A Party Committee member of the Jiangnan Maritime Bureau, Director Huang Yuanchang of the Jiangcheng Maritime Bureau, is a good friend of Secretary Han and also an old colleague of Secretary Han's spouse."

Wang Changjiang asked in surprise, "Director Han has so many acquaintances in the maritime system, and they're all leaders!"

"Before the establishment of the Jiangnan Maritime Bureau, the Jiangcheng Port Supervision Bureau, like our branch, belonged to the Changhang System. The Linghai Reserve Camp is not only the Linghai Reserve Camp but also part of our Changhang System's Reserve Camp. Secretary Han is both the Camp Commander and the son-in-law of our Changhang System, maintaining good relations with our system."

"Is the Linghai Reserve Camp also part of your Changhang System's Reserve Camp?"

"Yes, it was co-established by our Changhang System and the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, with half of the reserve soldiers coming from our Changhang System."

Just as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang.

He smiled apologetically and answered the call in front of the crowd, then looked up and said, "Director Wang, Director Huang from the Jiangcheng Maritime Bureau has had his driver bring the car over, asking whether a driver is needed, or if not, to leave the car and let the driver take a taxi back."

"We don't need a driver, we just need to use the car."

"Alright, I'll let Xiao Wang go down to get the key."

"Thank you."

"Director Wang, you're too polite, Director Zhang clearly mentioned earlier that we will now follow your command."

...

Everything that happened next left Wang Changjiang astonished.

The heads of various Changhang System units in Jiangcheng had their drivers bring cars to the guest house.

Director Huang from the Jiangcheng Maritime Bureau and the leaders of the Yangtze River Navigation Department even planned to invite everyone for a meal, clearly out of respect for Salted Fish.

The group was extremely busy, and considering confidentiality, they certainly wouldn't let anyone treat them to a meal, but the gesture was significant.

Wang Changjiang was filled with emotion and quickly gathered the Changhang police brought by Li Yunsheng for a meeting, briefing them on the case, assigning tasks, emphasizing confidentiality, and then returned to his room to call Han Yu.

"Secretary Han, it's Wang Changjiang here, are you busy, is it convenient to talk?"

Addressing as Secretary Han, not Director Han.

Han Yu seemed genuinely surprised, laughing as he said, "I'm on the river, not busy, what's up?"

"Secretary Han, the Changhang Jiangcheng Branch is very supportive of our work, Director Zhang personally brought over sixteen police officers. Leaders from the Jiangnan Maritime Bureau, Jiangcheng Maritime Bureau, and Changhang System are also very supportive, sending their drivers with special cars."

"Really, it seems this favor is quite big."

"It's all because of your influence."

"I'm not that influential, it's mostly because of Director Zeng's face," Han Yu chuckled, then changed the topic, "Director Wang, do you have any new developments over there?"

Wang Changjiang no longer dared to treat Han Yu as a colleague, hurriedly reporting as if briefing him, "Secretary Han, we've been running around all day, and have mostly figured out the social relations of several suspects. We've discovered that several suspects have traveled abroad, all have passports, and two suspects have children studying abroad.

We suspect they have already transferred some of the defrauded taxes, which is why I called to request assistance, mainly fearing that if they notice something amiss, they might flee with the funds. If they manage to escape abroad, there will be little we can do."

We must admit that Old Wang's concern is reasonable.

Han Yu took a deep breath and said, "Once the container with tax evasion tools is cleared through customs, I will definitely request East Sea Customs to notify the freight forwarder and customs broker to open the container for inspection. The freight forwarder and customs broker will notify them upon receiving the customs notification, so you must keep an eye on it over there to prevent them from getting suspicious and fleeing."

"Secretary Han, can we not notify the freight forwarder and customs broker?"

"We can't conduct an inspection without witnesses; if we don't notify the freight forwarder and customs broker, the involved parties will certainly argue, even falsely claim the goods were swapped by us."

"So, we can't relax for a moment; if they escape, we'll be in trouble."

"Director Wang, keep an eye on them, but don't watch too closely; being too vigilant may alert them, and in case they realize something's wrong, destroy evidence, collude, or transfer illicit funds, we'll be in a difficult position. How about this: when East Sea Customs notifies the freight forwarder and customs broker, I will ask Border Inspection to help keep an eye on them, preventing them from escaping your sight."

"Request border control?"

"Requesting border control requires evidence and procedures; right now, we don't have concrete evidence, so we can only ask them to discreetly keep an eye on things."

"But they might escape from Jiangcheng, and Jiangcheng Airport is an international airport with flights to Hong Kong and abroad."

"Don't worry, I happen to know the leaders of the Border Guard Main Corps and the Border Inspection Headquarters."

"Secretary Han, you know the leaders of the Main Corps!"

"Last year, the Yangtze River Water Resources Commission and the Changhang Bureau held a flood relief commendation meeting in Linghai. The main corps leaders attended in Linghai. They not only know me but also 'One Red' and highly value 'One Red'. This is not a big deal, I'll hand it over to 'One Red' later and let 'One Red' help us come up with a way."

"Who is 'One Red'?"

"Li Jun, our Chief of Staff at the Binjiang Border Inspection Station, you've met him."

How did Chief Li become 'One Red'!

Wang Changjiang was left confused, chatted a bit about the case and hung up the phone, returned to the meeting room to eat a boxed lunch with others, and asked Zhang Baoqing what was going on.

Li Jun is undoubtedly a legendary figure among the Binjiang Border Armed Police.

Zhang Baoqing had heard about him multiple times before, and couldn't help but laugh, "Li Jun was originally going to retire, Salted Fish arranged all the jobs for him, but then the flood came last year, he attended a military-civil skills training for flood relief organized by the city, anyway, there was nothing much to do, just followed Salted Fish to Beihu for flood relief."

"And then?" Wang Changjiang asked eagerly.

"He became a hero, not only made significant contributions in flood relief, but was also arranged by Salted Fish to escort Vice President L for the disaster relief site visits, appeared on the central TV news. The main corps and the border inspection station leaders figured out the situation and certainly wouldn't let him retire. Once he returned from Beihu, he was sent for training by superiors, completed the training, then promoted him to deputy regiment..."

"So Secretary Han helped him a lot, Secretary Han is his lucky star!"

"Director Wang, many have benefited from Salted Fish."

Zhang Baoqing put down his chopsticks, excitedly said, "If it weren't for Salted Fish leading the team to Beihu for flood relief, could Linghai City have been rated as a National Flood Control Advanced Group by superiors? Could Linghai's Secretary Ye have been promoted to Vice Director, transferred to Yangzhou as a Standing Committee Vice Mayor?

The first secretary of Linghai Reserve Camp, the previous Deputy Mayor Shen of Linghai City directly became the Mayor of Linghai City? Let's just say, anyone who went to Beihu for flood relief with Salted Fish and works in government departments, every single one of them got promoted!"

Linghai Reserve Camp is jointly built by Linghai and Changhang systems, so this means many people in the Changhang system benefited too...

Just when Wang Changjiang realized the influence of the "Binjiang Water Army Commander" wasn't only in the Yangtze River waterfront section, Han Yu squatting on Binjiang Police 003 unexpectedly received a call from Hao Qiusheng who had disappeared for nearly three months.

No public phone on the ship, could only use cell phone to answer.

In fact, the phone bill was paid by the department, usually using the cellphone as a pager mainly because seeing the phone bill receipts he felt a bit reluctant.

The monthly call expenses could reach over hundred, if not frugal, could go up to thousand.

Public money is still money, of course, save as much as possible.

He calmed his mind, asked, "Brother Hao, where have you been running to, how are you now?"

Hao Qiusheng was drinking with President Wu, President Qian and several "boss officers" of Linghai Reserve Camp in the Binjiang Development Zone, looked up at President Wu and others, held up his phone embarrassingly and said, "I... I got divorced, the child is with her, the savings and house also went to her, finalized the divorce certificate at the civil affairs bureau this morning."

"Just got divorced like that?"

"Divorced."

"Then should I congratulate you, or... or should I sympathize with you?"

"Salted Fish, stop teasing, I need neither congratulations nor sympathy right now." Hao Qiusheng took a deep breath, continued, "I know you're busy, I called just to let you know, so you don't keep worrying about me."

Han Yu asked softly, "What about the later one?"

"She's with me, we are having a meal at President Wu's place."

"Planning to get married, holding a wedding banquet, inviting us for wedding wine, wedding candies?"

"Definitely getting married, but not in a hurry, don't laugh, I'm currently broke as hell, even if I want to get married there's no way."

"Broke as hell and yet she stays with you?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Salted Fish, she's not the kind of person who only cares about wealth." Hao Qiusheng turned to look at his confidante and then turned back to President Wu and others, said embarrassingly, "Seriously, I'm planning to start again, continue doing construction projects."

Han Yu curiously asked, "What kind of projects?"

"Water conservancy projects, as long as I can rally a team, there'll be work." Hao Qiusheng paused, then continued, "Recently I went to Hanwu, the Yangtze River Water Engineering Company has lots of projects, and they only have technicians but no construction teams."

The Yangtze River Water Engineering Company is part of the Yangtze River Committee.

After all that connection making, he's still leveraging the relationships built from flood relief.

Han Yu remained silent for a while, asked, "Being a contractor?"

"Have to live, can't have no economic source. President Wu, President Qian, they're really helpful, helped me solve the startup funds, encouraged me to make a comeback."

"I don't have the money to support you, can only encourage you mentally."

"Salted Fish, don't misunderstand, I never planned to borrow money from you, with President Wu, President Qian's support there's no need to borrow from you, just wanted to tell you, to ease your mind."

"Then go for it, since you're divorced, start anew."

"Thanks."

"I didn't help at all, what's there to thank me for."
