Regarding Su Dingfang, this old fox, Lin Hao harbors little fondness for him.

Because Su Dingfang, like Luo Zhijun, is a person who abandons principles for profit and is selfish and self-serving; soon, they too will be kicked out.

Since Su Muyun and her sister are going over to care for the old man, Lin Hao is happy to get some quiet time and stay home with this stepmother.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Hao began organizing materials related to the high-quality trade talks and the first New Energy Battery Conference.

The current issue is that the government needs to step in to invite some experts and scholars and also several key manufacturer clients, distributors, or partners.

Based on the list reported by all the enterprises in Wucheng County, none of the guests invited by any individual enterprise exceeds ten people, but Red Era Group, as the leading domestic enterprise in new energy batteries, invites quite a few.

Of course, this is a little privilege that Lin Hao grants Liao Jiarong, aiming to empower upstream businesses, helping Red Era Group drive the economic development of Wucheng County.

As for the evening gala, although Lin Hao wants to invite some celebrities to perform, he hasn't decided on whom to invite. However, he feels that inviting some stars born locally would be more sincere.

And it would be even better if these stars could contribute to the hometown's development, with modest appearance fees.

Even though the finance issues in Wucheng County are solved now, this conference should adhere to the principle of frugality, avoiding extravagance while preserving the dignity needed for investment attraction.

Just when it was nearing the end of the workday, Secretary Zhang Boqing from the political and judiciary committee called.

"County Magistrate Lin, this is Zhang Boqing. Are you free tonight? I'd like to discuss the high-interest loan issue with you."

Lin Hao glanced at the time and saw it was almost quitting time. He said, "Secretary Boqing, I'll come over for a detailed discussion."

"How about this, since it's already dinner time, let's find a place to eat and chat." Zhang Boqing suggested.

"That works. Where should we eat?" Lin Hao agreed cheerfully.

"I know a nice private restaurant. I'll wait for you at the government entrance," Zhang Boqing said.

Actually, he wanted to invite Lin Hao to dinner to express his gratitude and to conveniently discuss some findings from the day's investigation.

After meeting up, the two drove to a relatively hidden private restaurant, ordered some exquisite dishes, and opened a bottle of good wine.

"County Magistrate Lin, thanks a lot for today's matter. Here's a toast to you!" Zhang Boqing said with a smile, raising his glass in invitation.

"Secretary Boqing, you're too kind!" Lin Hao clinked glasses with him, and they both finished their drinks in one go.

"Please, eat!" Zhang Boqing, in high spirits, personally served Lin Hao some dishes.

"I can serve myself, really." Lin Hao felt a bit embarrassed.

"County Magistrate Lin, although Zhang Botian is unforgivable, our investigation suggests the high-interest loan companies forced him into despair..." Zhang Boqing narrated slowly.

From the current data, Zhang Botian not only provided a guarantee to the woman at the bank but also borrowed a substantial amount from outside high-interest loan companies, which he ultimately could not repay.

That woman seemingly vanished into thin air, prompting Zhang Botian, in a fit of rage, to attack the woman's family with a gun, killing all five members.

To put it bluntly, the high-interest loan company is indeed a link in this heinous murder case. Whether the woman is conniving with the high-interest loan company will likely be concluded only upon her capture.

The current problem is that the woman seems to have truly disappeared, leaving no trace.

"Reportedly, when the high-interest loan company began to collect debts and Zhang Botian couldn't reach the woman, in anger he went to the woman's house with a gun demanding money. Presumably, it's because the woman's family played tricks that ultimately led to the murder case." Zhang Boqing had almost completed the investigation.

Lin Hao trusted what he said. After all, demanding money at gunpoint; if met with a refusal, anyone could lose their mind.

"Looking at the whole incident, the high-interest loan company has an inescapable responsibility, and possibly, the woman is a plant of the loan company..." Zhang Boqing added.

"If the woman is indeed a plant, it's premeditated fraud; we can file for an investigation to capture them all." Lin Hao's face showed signs of concern.

"County Magistrate Lin, to be honest, the high-interest loan company is backed by the Shen Family. If I remember correctly, those who followed you last time were also orchestrated by the Shen Family." Zhang Boqing whispered.

Lin Hao looked into his eyes, seemingly understanding his implication, his eyes suddenly brightening, flashing with a fervent fire.

"Secretary Boqing, what's your plan?" Lin Hao asked coldly.

"I want to continue investigating and uproot this high-interest loan company! Even if we can't take down the Shen Family, we can shake them enough to no longer run rampant!" Zhang Boqing replied solemnly.

"Sure, I will fully support you in eliminating this tumor." Lin Hao nodded slightly.

"As for why the Shen Family is tracking you, I will continue to investigate. However, you must be cautious! I'm concerned they might harm you!" Zhang Boqing said worriedly, furrowing his brows.

"I will keep that in mind," Lin Hao nodded.

"Regarding Liu Bingnian, the precinct chief, it seems he's been bought off by the Shen Family. As Zhang Botian is his subordinate, I'm planning to take the opportunity to replace him; what do you think?" Zhang Boqing asked.

"If Liu Bingnian has indeed been bought off, he should be transferred to avoid becoming a hindrance later. As for the choice of chief, let Director Zhang handle it." Lin Hao did not plan to intervene in their internal affairs.

"I think Deputy Director Kang is a good fit. I plan to promote him to chief, and I'm also preparing to set up a special task force for following this case. However, I'm concerned about Secretary Li's side..." Zhang Boqing hesitated.

"Don't worry, I'll speak to Secretary Li," Lin Hao nodded in agreement.

Both leaders with a strong sense of justice, having discovered the high-interest loan company, will certainly find ways to round these people up and prevent them from harming the citizens of Wucheng County.

Lin Hao fully supports the action, and with him standing before Secretary Li, Zhang Boqing can execute his plan wholeheartedly.

They discussed this matter for half a day, forming a small alliance to jointly confront the Shen Family tumor.

Honestly, since Shen Sihai's arrest, the Four Seas Group led by the Four Great Clans has quieted down for a while, but this time, the high-interest loan issue led to a policeman's death, startling the police chief.

Thus, Zhang Boqing went to find Lin Hao, hoping to gain his full support.
