After Gu Tong brought the wine up, Bai Yuxin said, "Gu Tong, ask Xiao Guo to come in and eat with us. Today is a family banquet. We don't have so many rules. Go!"
After a while, Xiao Guo and Gu Tong came in. Xiao Guo was Zhang Zhiyuan's driver. He was usually flattered by many people, so he was more casual. Gu Tong was still a child in his early twenties. He was slightly restrained. One moment he poured tea, the next moment he ran out to urge the dishes. He was very busy.
After the dishes were served, Bai Yuxin was the first to preside over the lunch banquet. He said, "Today, we're all on the same side, let's not be so polite.
Just drink casually. Xiao Guo will send County Zhang back to his dormitory later, so you can drink less. Gu Tong can't. You must drink with Yiwei this afternoon. He is your master, haha. "
Gu Tong was poached by Lu Yiwei from the County Public Security Bureau Chief Xiao Dingyuan. He planned to arrange something for him in the Chuangwei command center. But because of Liu Kecheng's intervention, the Chuangwei command center became useless.
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately transferred Lu Yiwei back to the government office. Gu Tong was not so lucky. Lu Yiwei asked for his opinion, but he did not want to return to Xiao Dingyuan's side, so the matter was put aside. After Bai Yuxin was transferred to Nanyang County, Lu Yiwei strongly recommended him, and only then did he feel relieved.
Gu Tong was very nervous. He did not dare to agree or refuse. He sat there with a red face, not knowing what to do. Fortunately, Lu Yiwei helped him out. "Mayor Bai, don't make things difficult for Gu Tong. He is still young. Why don't I drink with you? You can drink as much as you want. Is that okay?"
"Great! Haha. " Bai Yuxin had not been so happy for a long time. She raised her glass and said, "Come, let's drink three in a row."
"Come, I will drink with you too!" Zhang Zhiyuan also wanted to relax and said, "I'll give you all a break this afternoon. Drink to your heart's content." His concern was evident in his words.
In the middle of his excitement, Lu Yiwei's phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was from his university classmate. He cheerfully picked it up and said, "Three, what's up? Is your western restaurant about to open? "
"What?" After listening to Sandao's words, Lu Yiwei's expression suddenly changed. He jumped up from his chair and hurriedly asked, "When did this happen?"
"Okay, wait for me. I'll be right there!" Lu Yiwei hung up the phone and froze. Seeing this, Zhang Zhiyuan's heart tightened. He knew that something was about to happen, but he tried his best to restrain himself and calmly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Pan Chengjun is missing!" Lu Yiwei said word by word.
Pan Chengjun was a magical weapon to deal with Qin Erbao. One could imagine his importance. Lu Yiwei even went to Fujian to look for him. Finally, he found him through layers of clues and entrusted him to Sandao for protection. Unexpectedly, it still happened.
Everyone knew what Pan Chengjun's disappearance meant. Zhang Zhiyuan was still calm, but his expression was grim like white wax. Bai Yuxin put down her wine glass and waited for Zhang Zhiyuan to make a decision. The others held their breath and lowered their heads, pretending not to hear.
"Go to Jiangdong City now and see what's going on. If he's really missing, we'll think of a countermeasure, "Zhang Zhiyuan said calmly.
Lu Yiwei felt guilty and said, "County Zhang, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Pan Chengjun …"
"Let's not talk about this now," Bai Yuxin said, "Since it's already happened, let's act as it happened. I have a feeling that it's directly related to the Erbao Coal Mine. If it's related to the Erbao Coal Mine, the question is, who leaked the news? Is it your friend? Or someone else? "
Lu Yiwei shook his head. "I know Sandao's character. He won't betray me. Moreover, he's been fighting with me for Pan Chengjun. It can't be him."
"You can't be so sure!" Bai Yuxin did not trust anyone. "People nowadays are more practical. How do you know it's not your friend? He should be the only one who knows about this. "
Lu Yiwei could not answer for a moment. His mind was in a mess.
"Alright, it's useless for us to analyze it here. We'll only know the situation when we see the person." Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Yiwei, go now and report to me immediately if there's any new information. Pan Chengjun must not fall into the hands of others!"
"Alright, I'll go right now!" He got up and quickly walked out the door.
Bai Yuxin said to Gu Tong, "Gu Tong, Yiwei drank some wine. Go with him. Hurry!"
Gu Tong ran out immediately. The meal was originally a happy one, but now it had become a cold pot of rice. Bai Yuxin was no longer in the mood to drink. She pushed her cup away and took a few mouthfuls with her chopsticks. "County Zhang, the other party is coming at us ferociously."
Zhang Zhiyuan's chauffeur, Xiao Guo, walked out when he heard the two of them talking. Bai Yuxin continued, "Old Ding and Yiwei were investigated last night, and this matter isn't over yet. Now, Pan Chengjun is missing. It looks like the other party is going for the kill. "
Zhang Zhiyuan said with a heavy heart, "What will come will come. Who knows, it might be our turn next. Are you afraid?"
"What a joke!" Bai Yuxin slammed her chopsticks on the table. "Zhiyuan, do you think that I, Bai Yuxin, am a coward? If I'm afraid, I wouldn't have come to Nanyang. Since I'm here, I'm not afraid of offending anyone. "
Zhang Zhiyuan felt that his words were too harsh. He sighed. "Old Bai, it's all my fault for dragging you into this. I'm a little tired now! "After that, he took a sip of his wine.
Bai Yuxin filled Zhang Zhiyuan's glass with wine. "Zhiyuan, it's too late to say anything now. Since we've already made this choice, we have to walk this path to the end. I don't care what lies ahead. Even if it's a grave, I'll accept it. Sooner or later, this day will come. Instead of living aimlessly, I might as well do something. My life will be worth it!"
Hearing how relaxed Bai Yuxin was, other than anger, Zhang Zhiyuan felt guilty. He was the one who dragged Bai Yuxin into this mess, causing him to be in trouble as well. She said, "Brother Yuxin, with your words, my heart is at ease. I'm very touched, really. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know what to do. You're the one who carried out this restructuring. "
"Alright! Let's not talk about these useless things. " Bai Yuxin was much more rational than Zhang Zhiyuan. "What we need to do next is to urgently come up with a countermeasure. We can't let this situation continue to spread. I've thought about it, and we can't deal with Qin Erbao according to common sense. We should get someone else to do our dirty work! "
"Get someone else to do our dirty work? Whose dirty work? "Zhang Zhiyuan was puzzled.
"Su Qiming."
"What? Su Qiming? You must be joking. How can Su Qiming be of use to us? "Zhang Zhiyuan felt that Bai Yuxin was daydreaming.
Bai Yuxin said, "Recently, because of the cement factory, Shiwan Village has started to publicize and mobilize people. Kang Dong and Tian Guohua have gone down a few times. It's estimated that they're about to enter the substantive stage and start to expropriate the land. I know that land, and it's right next to the Erbao Coal Mine. That day, I heard that Qin Erbao stood out to oppose the expropriation. He said that he still wants to build a mine, and he even took a huge piece of land. He even said that he would fight anyone who dared to touch his territory! Isn't this not giving Su Qiming face? Kang Dong is also hot-tempered. He quarreled with Qin Erbao and nearly got into a fight. When Su Qiming found out about this, he slammed the table and said, "This is a political mission. Whoever dares to stop us will be going against the County party committee and the county government. I'm thinking that if we intensify the conflict between Qin Erbao and Su Qiming, wouldn't it be beneficial for us? "
After listening to Bai Yuxin, Zhang Zhiyuan fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "Aren't we being too despicable by doing this?"
"At this point in time, who cares what methods they use? As long as it's beneficial to our work, we can't care anymore," Bai Yuxin said.
Zhang Zhiyuan was hesitant to make a decision, as he felt that this method wasn't appropriate.
When Bai Yuxin saw Zhang Zhiyuan's reaction, she said, "Zhiyuan, they're already holding a knife to our necks. Why are you still considering this? As long as you agree, I'll handle the rest. Don't worry, I won't expose any loopholes. "
Zhang Zhiyuan raised his glass and drank it in one gulp. "Then we'll do as you say!"
Bai Yuxin heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "As long as we can control Qin Erbao, the rest will be easy. Sigh! If we lose Pan Chengjun, we'll have to find a new breakthrough point. "
"Oh no!" Bai Yuxin suddenly slammed the table. "Zhiyuan, we seem to have forgotten someone."
"Who?"
"Tao Anguo!"
Zhang Zhiyuan's heart tightened. His expression became more serious. "Hurry and contact him. He's in a dangerous situation. If we lose this person, we'll be in a passive position."
"Alright, I'm not eating anymore. I'll make a trip myself." Bai Yuxin said worriedly, "We're a little late. It's all my fault." After that, she walked out of the room.
Zhang Zhiyuan was no longer in the mood to eat. He called Xiao Guo back to his office. The meal was tasteless.
Lu Yiwei rushed to Jiangdong as fast as he could. After meeting with Sanjo, Lu Yiwei did not even have time to catch his breath. He asked about what happened.
Sanjo was also anxious. He tried to be objective. "My western restaurant has been open for business for the past two days. I've been very busy these days. I only rest late every day. Pan Chengjun is mainly in charge of the goods, but I didn't notice anything unusual. "Last night, it was already half past one when we finished our work. We just ate something and sent him back to the warehouse. This morning, I waited here and there, but I didn't see him. I called him, but his phone was turned off. I thought he was too tired yesterday, so I didn't pay much attention to him. I just wanted him to rest more. I was busy until noon. It was time for lunch, but I still couldn't see him. His phone was still turned off. I was a little anxious, so I went to the warehouse to look for him. When I entered, there was no one there. I panicked, so I called you immediately. "
After listening to Sanjo's story, Lu Yiwei was confused. He asked, "Did he have any symptoms yesterday?"
"No!" Sanjo said, "It's the same as usual. It's pretty good. Last night, during lunch, he said that he planned to work here. I was quite happy and promised to pay him 3,000 yuan a month. But … he disappeared just like that! "
