Chen Xing and Tan Wenlan ran to a crowded place. Seeing the traffic police patrolling at the intersection ahead, Chen Xing shouted to Tan Wenlan, "Xiao Qin, hold on a little longer, there are police in front."
As Chen Xing spoke, he was about to shout a few times to attract the attention of the police in front. However, when he turned around, he realized that the 'pursuers' behind him had slowed down as well. Perhaps they had also noticed the presence of the police in front, the few men chasing after Chen Xing had slowed down their pace. When the man at the front saw Chen Xing turning around, he raised the metal rod in his hand and pointed it at Chen Xing ferociously. The two of you had better watch out.
After warning Chen Xing, the man led the few men behind him into an alley at the side.
Chen Xing heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were police at the intersection, otherwise it would have been a little dangerous.
After the crisis was over, Chen Xing gradually calmed down. These burly men who chased them for almost two hundred meters with iron bars would not appear for no reason. Moreover, Chen Xing did not believe that they would recognize the wrong people. Just now, they were face to face. After seeing the two of them, the man shouted, "It's these two", which was still echoing in Chen Xing's mind.
"Where did these people come from?" Chen Xing furrowed his brows tightly.
"Xiao Qin, are you okay?" Looking at Tan Wenlan, who was still panting, Chen Xing asked with concern. After all, she was a woman. After running for such a long time, she must be very tired.
"I'm fine." Tan Wenlan shook her head and then joked to herself. "Fortunately, I did not wear high heels. Otherwise, I might lose my life today."
"It's not that serious. I don't believe that these people dare to kill people in broad daylight." Chen Xing laughed. "But if they really catch up with us, we will have to suffer a lot."
"Deputy Team Leader Chen, who are these people?" Tan Wenlan also asked at this moment.
"I also want to know the answer to this question." Chen Xing shrugged his shoulders.
"Should we call the police?" Tan Wenlan glanced ahead. Perhaps because of the commotion just now, the two traffic policemen at the intersection walked over.
Chen Xing hesitated. Their identities were more sensitive. They should really consider whether they should call the police or not. However, would it be useful to call the police?
Let's go back first. In the end, Chen Xing decided not to call the police and called Tan Wenlan.
The two of them hailed a taxi and returned to the hotel. To Chen Xing's surprise, when they returned, Qin Minghua and Jiang Haijun had also returned. Chen Xing asked and found out that the two of them had also just returned.
Deputy team leader Chen, there is something I have to report to you. Just now, Marine and I were outside investigating and we met a group of unknown men. They chased us with iron bars and beat us. Fortunately, we reacted quickly. Otherwise, we would have to go to the hospital. Qin Minghua reported the encounter to Chen Xing. As an experienced inspector, he had a strong sense of danger. Moreover, it was not the first time he had encountered such a situation. Therefore, when he saw the group of people from afar, he realized that something was wrong. He called Jiang Haijun and turned around to run. The two of them ran in time. Therefore, the group of people just now could not catch up with them.
You also met them? Chen Xing was shocked.
What? Deputy team leader Chen, you also met them? Qin Minghua looked at Chen Xing and Tan Wenlan in surprise.
Yes, we also met them. Chen Xing nodded. If it were not for the police at the intersection, he and Tan Wenlan would have been caught by them.
There was a moment of silence in the room. Tan Wenlan, who had just started working and encountered such a "dangerous" moment for the first time, was at a loss. Seeing that no one else spoke, Tan Wenlan also kept quiet. Today's experience made her realize that the inspection work was not as awe-inspiring as she had imagined. On the contrary, it was accompanied by danger.
It seems that we have been targeted. After a while, Chen Xing said.
It is certain that we have been targeted. However, we don't know who ordered them to do so. The person who wrote the report knows our every move like the back of his hand. However, this matter should not have anything to do with the other party. The person we are investigating now is Liao Jingming, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Could it be that Liao Jingming ordered someone to do this? Qin Minghua said.
I have already officially contacted Liao Jingming. If he knew that we were investigating him, he wouldn't have done such a thing. Not only is it not good for him, it's harmful. I think if he's a smart person, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing. Chen Xing frowned. To be honest, his impression of Liao Jingming was not very bad.
Could it be Mayor Ning Shuangqi? Tan Wenlan said in a low voice.
Tan Wenlan's interruption stunned He Chenxing and the others. After thinking about it carefully, Tan Wenlan's words were not impossible. After all, he and Tan Wenlan were going to investigate the joint report of Ning Shuangqi by the old cadres. It was not entirely impossible to say that Ning Shuangqi was the one who did it.
They looked at each other for a while and could only smile bitterly. Qin Minghua and Jiang Haijun were going to investigate the report related to Liao Jingming, while Chen Xing and Tan Wenlan were responsible for Ning Shuangqi. Unfortunately, both sides had encountered the same situation. Now, it was impossible to speculate who was behind it. Moreover, it might have nothing to do with the two of them.
Qin Minghua and the others did not speak anymore. What should they do now? They could only wait for Chen Xing's instructions.
Let's return to Quanning now. Chen Xing pondered for a moment and made a decision.
They immediately checked out of the hotel and boarded the long-distance bus back to Quanning. Changing their original plan at the last minute didn't mean that they were timid after what happened in the morning and wanted to retreat. Rather, the current situation had determined that they couldn't continue their secret investigation. Furthermore, Chen Xing had to personally report the information he had on hand to Team Leader He Qili. As for the next step, he would have to ask He Qili for instructions. The evidence they had gathered on this trip was up to He Qili to decide whether to hand it over to the Beiqing Provincial Party Committee to urge the local authorities to investigate, or to have the inspection team directly intervene. Only He Qili could make the decision.
Just as Chen Xing and the others were leaving Yuntian, Wu Xiaozhou was reporting something to Liao Jingming in Liao Jingming's office in the comprehensive office building of the municipal government.
Can you guarantee that there will be no problems with the arrangements in the morning? Liao Jingming's expression was gloomy.
There will be no problems, Secretary Liao, don't worry. Wu Xiaozhou nodded affirmatively.
Liao Jingming listened to Wu Xiaozhou's words and nodded slightly. He seemed to be quite satisfied with Wu Xiaozhou's answer. However, he, who had a tense face, did not look relaxed.
