Tang Wentai didn't expect Xu Chenhui to cause such a big disturbance quietly. He hesitated and asked, "Branch Chief Huang, will he be sentenced?"

"I don't know about that, but core members like him will definitely be severely punished."

"Fortunately, Salted Fish put him in a detention center, otherwise, he would have ruined me!"

"Director Tang, don't take this the wrong way, but this incident serves as a reminder that we must be cautious with friends we haven't seen for years. Who knows if there's a problem with them? We can't be too welcoming."

"Yes, we can't put on a brave face and pretend everything is fine."

...

Xu Chenhui was escorted away by Beihu Police, and the campaign against the cultivation technique he practiced was fully launched.

Newspapers, television, and radio were filled with news exposing and criticizing that cultivation technique.

The Binjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, along with party and governmental committees from all districts and counties, established leadership groups and offices specifically to handle individuals involved with that cultivation technique.

The actions of those people have already threatened social and political stability and must be severely cracked down on.

The third round of water campaigns and Salted Fish's anti-smuggling operations on the water had to pause due to the crackdown on qigong practitioners and the eel fishing battles resuming.

Illegal eel fry fishers and boats were still present.

Under the unified command of his superiors, Han Yu organized law enforcement vessels from various units as he had in previous years, first ensuring the safety of Binjiang Port, the Linghai Port, which was in trial operation, and the waters of the ferries and locks along the Yangtze River, then clearing the illegal set nets in the main and secondary waterways.

Driven by economic interests, eel fishing boats played guerrilla warfare with law enforcement officers on the river.

As soon as they cleaned up one area, another problem arose somewhere else.

Just as Han Yu was busy and overwhelmed, Vice Port Director Ma called, asking him to go to the East Sea together.

Han Yu suddenly realized that the "props" containers used to defraud state export rebates had gone around Hong Kong and were sent back. He transferred the command to Xiao Yu and Ma Jintao to assist the Fishery Administration and Marine in combating illegal fishing, quickly contacted the freight forwarding company and customs brokerage managers from their last joint inspection, and hurriedly went with Li Shengli, Guo Weitao, and Xiao Gong to assemble at the sub-bureau, then rushed overnight to the East Sea with Vice Port Director Ma.

Vice Port Director Ma had already communicated with East Sea Customs in advance.

The group split into three police cars and headed straight to the container depot under the supervision of Waigaoqiao Port Customs.

The freight forwarding and customs agents entrusted by the company involved also came, looking puzzled at Manager Liu and Manager Xu who came with Han Yu, wondering what the relationship was between the customs inspection and the freight forwarding and customs brokerage companies from Binjiang.

Han Yu didn't know what the East Sea freight forwarding and customs agents were thinking, but he quickly found the target container, turned back, and joked, "Ma Guan, this is the container. They are really lazy, didn't even bother to switch the container!"

Victory was in sight.

Vice Port Director Ma was excited and turned around with a smile, "Qian Guan, please arrange for someone to unload that container for us."

"Sure."

Waigaoqiao Port Customs' Vice Customs Director Qian glanced back at his subordinates. A young customs officer immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.

Before long, a crane operator unloaded the suspicious container that was stacked very high.

Vice Port Director Ma smiled at Han Yu, "Xiao Han, let's begin."

Han Yu was also excited, while putting on gloves, he turned around and said, "Xiao Gong, get ready to film. Weitao, get ready to take pictures."

"Yes!"

"Brother Li, follow the procedures, take out the Inspection Notice and have the agents from the freight forwarding and customs brokerage companies sign it."

"Alright."

...

The business agent from the East Sea freight forwarding company had never seen such a big scene and couldn't help but ask, "Director Han, is there something wrong with the goods in this container?"

"We'll find out soon enough."

Political Commissioner Zhou had arrived in Jiangcheng that morning and was waiting for news with Wang Changjiang.

Han Yu didn't want his distant colleagues in Jiangcheng to wait too long. He pointed to the container door and asked the East Sea Customs Officer to cut the "Customs Seal" and then asked the East Sea freight forwarding agent entrusted by the company involved to unlock the second lock.

The shipping yard was brightly lit, as clear as day.

Han Yu peered into the viewfinder of the small camera, confirmed the picture was clear, then pulled the container door latch and swung the doors open.

As expected, it was just like it was when they shipped it out.

There were two large wooden crates bound with metal straps, not one less.

Considering the poor visibility inside the container, Han Yu followed the customs inspection routine and asked his colleagues from the East Sea Customs to call in people to "empty the container."

Several dock workers quickly moved the two large wooden crates out.

Han Yu picked up large pliers, cut the metal straps, then pried open the wooden boxes with a crowbar, removed the plastic film covering the equipment, and took a flashlight from Xiao Gong to shine on the equipment nameplate.

The freight forwarder checked the shipping document, bent down, and looked at the nameplate on the equipment in the wooden crate, saying, "Director Han, there's no mistake; it's an Automatic Optical Inspection Equipment."

"What did you study?"

"Director Han, are you asking about my school major?"

"Yes."

"I studied International Trade."

"Then how do you know this equipment is an Automatic Optical Inspection Equipment?"

"It's written on the nameplate."

"The last time I saw it, it wasn't called that."

"Ah..."

Seeing his surprised expression, Han Yu smiled and said, "Manager Liu, Manager Xu, why are you shying away? I invited you here as witnesses; you are important witnesses. Come and see, you'll never know, the world is truly fascinating, and now is the moment to witness something amazing!"

Manager Liu and Manager Xu had no choice but to brace themselves and come over.

Vice Customs Director Qian from Waigaoqiao Port was surprised to see Han Yu in the mood for jokes and couldn't help but ask, "Ma Guan, what amazing moment?"

"You'll see, Salted Fish, stop with the suspense and hurry up."

"Yes, right away!"

Although Han Yu said yes, he still rolled up his sleeves, facing the small camera lens, and seriously and earnestly said, "I have nothing in my hands, and it's impossible to hide anything in my sleeves. Xiao Gong, point the camera at my hands, make sure to get it clearly."

"Got it, filming now." Xiao Gong quickly replied.

Just like performing magic, Han Yu reached into the wooden crate and pulled out a business card, held it up to the camera lens, and then handed it with a smile to Vice Customs Director Qian.

Vice Customs Director Qian took one look and asked in surprise, "Xiao Han, is this your business card?"

"Yes, it was placed here during the last inspection, didn't expect it to still be here."

Han Yu chuckled, removed his gloves, took out a stack of documents from the briefcase next to him, and handed them to Deputy Chief Xu: "The last time it was seen, it was exported as a generic Printed Circuit Board Measurement and Testing Device, and these two wooden boxes contain not one unit, but three."

The customs agent from East Sea suddenly reacted and asked bitterly, "Did Linghang Company use it to defraud tax?"

"Including this time, these two wooden crates have made 90 overseas trips. The company involved was wary of declaring imports and exports at the same customs, always using the same freight forwarding and customs brokerage companies, which could easily be discovered. Thus, they declared at six different customs, engaging nineteen different freight forwarding and customs brokerage companies."

Han Yu glanced back at the equipment in the wooden crate, thought for a moment, and laughed: "But today is their last time; these devices won't be exported again."

After examining the materials provided by Han Yu and the customs materials provided by his subordinates, Vice Customs Director Qian asked in shock, "When exporting, it's counted as three units, with a total value of over one million US dollars. When importing, it's counted as one unit, with a total value of only ten thousand US dollars. After 90 such transactions, how much tax did they defraud?"

"Nearly a hundred million RMB."

Han Yu saw Vice Port Director Ma busy calling Political Commissioner Zhou and continued, "Qian Guan, these tax-defrauding props are crucial evidence; our sub-bureau needs to detain them according to the law. Manager Liu and Manager Xu, as well as the agents from the East Sea freight forwarding and customs brokerage companies, you're all important witnesses, and we'll need to take your statements later."
