After speaking, Li Haocheng hung up the phone and walked back to bed. "Baby, I woke you up.
It's okay. I was about to wake up anyway. " Lin Qing smiled and blinked her eyes. She reached out her hand and tapped on Li Haocheng's body lightly. "Brother Haocheng, what's the matter? Look at how angry you are so early in the morning."
"What's the matter? It's just that someone called early in the morning to harass me." Li Haocheng shook his head and smiled.
"That's right. The time difference is too big. Maybe the person who called you doesn't even know what time it is here. In China, it should still be 11 o 'clock." Lin Qing giggled.
"It should be." Li Haocheng answered absent-mindedly. His hand on Lin Qing's waist gently squeezed. It had to be said that Lin Qing's skin was surprisingly elastic. Li Haocheng didn't know that it was the result of Lin Qing's long-term training. Lin Qing, who looked weak and boneless, could easily defeat a few big and burly men in a short period of time.
Lin Qing, who had entered the US Marine Corps for special training, had gone through devil training. That inhuman experience still made Lin Qing's hair stand on end when she thought about it. But that was already in the past. Now, she had finished her apprenticeship many years ago and didn't need to suffer that kind of torture anymore. She only needed to complete the tasks assigned by her superiors. In Lin Qing's eyes, this was much more relaxed. Although there was a certain amount of danger, it was much easier than training.
…
Late at night in Nanzhou, the cold sea breeze blew, making people shiver. Although it was still a little hot during the day, it was late autumn after all. There was already a slight chill at night. Chen Xing and Lin Hong sat in a cafe on Coastal Avenue by the window. Looking out, they could see the endless sea. It was almost 11 o 'clock, but this cafe was still full of people. It was no wonder that this commercial area on Coastal Avenue was said to be the most expensive prime location in Nanzhou.
After receiving a call from Chang Shengjun, Chen Xing, who had been talking and laughing with Lin Hong, darkened his face. Chang Shengjun had called him and told him that Zhang Qingyang had surrounded the hotel with more than 200 policemen to kidnap Zheng Guangfu. Now that Zheng Guangfu had fallen into Zhang Qingyang's hands, tonight's action was in vain. Of course, their efforts weren't completely in vain. The drugs seized in the Crown Entertainment City were a big harvest for Chang Shengjun and Chen Xing.
Mayor Chen, what's wrong? Seeing Chen Xing's pale face, Lin Hong also became nervous. She was still happy that tonight's operation had taken a substantial step forward. It was unlikely that an accident would happen now.
Zheng Guangfu was taken away by Zhang Qingyang's men. Chen Xing glanced at Lin Hong and stood up. He was going to meet up with Chang Shengjun and his team. This matter had to be remedied as soon as possible.
How could this happen? Lin Hong exclaimed and stood up with Chen Xing in a hurry. When they walked out of the small room, Lin Hong immediately swallowed the question she wanted to ask. When they walked out of the cafe and saw Chen Xing get in the car, Lin Hong followed Chen Xing's car without thinking much. Then she asked, "Mayor Chen, what are you going to do now? Zheng Guangfu and Zhang Qingyang are in the same boat. Now that Zheng Guangfu has been rescued by Zhang Qingyang, I'm afraid that Zhang Qingyang will let him go without permission.
This is also what I'm worried about, so now we have to get him back immediately. Chen Xing's face was gloomy. Tonight, he had miscalculated. Speaking of it, he was careless and underestimated Zhang Qingyang. He didn't expect that Zhang Qingyang would dare to do this.
Chen Xing was very angry and clenched his fist and hit his thigh. If he had known this would happen, he would have borrowed another place from Zhou Dongfang for Chang Shengjun and his team to handle the case. He didn't believe that Zhang Qingyang would dare to break into the provincial military area.
I'm afraid that Zhang Qingyang won't let him go so easily, and I'm afraid that Zhang Qingyang has already released Zheng Guangfu. Lin Hong said worriedly. At this time, the car had already started, but Lin Hong actually forgot to get out of the car.
I'll call Zhang Qingyang now. Chen Xing said in a low voice and raised his hand to call Zhang Qingyang. As soon as the phone was connected, Chen Xing's tone was unfriendly. Zhang Qingyang, where is Zheng Guangfu?
Zheng Guangfu? Zhang Qingyang was stunned for a moment. He almost didn't respond to Chen Xing's question. Mayor Chen, Zheng Guangfu is now temporarily sent to the detention center. Our bureau is investigating him for breaking the law.
Investigating him? Chen Xing almost spat out a mouthful of blood. How could Zhang Qingyang say such a thing? He had seen Zhang Qingyang and Zheng Guangfu together tonight, but Zhang Qingyang had made such an excuse for him. Chen Xing's anger could be imagined. That was the investigation team sent by the Ministry. Who asked you to kidnap him? Do you know what you are doing? I order you to send Zheng Guangfu back immediately. Your bureau doesn't need to investigate anymore, and the Ministry will take over this case.
Mayor Chen, this … this is not good. Our bureau is also investigating him. Moreover, the identity of that group of people is unknown. There is no document from the top, and there is no proof that they are from the Ministry at all. Zhang Qingyang retorted, and his brain quickly started to work. The situation was getting more and more complicated.
I can prove their identities. Zhang Qingyang, don't tell me you're doubting my words. Chen Xing said angrily.
Of course, I don't dare to doubt Mayor Chen. But such a serious matter should always be cautious, right? I am also doing this out of consideration. Zhang Qingyang continued to say perfunctorily, and his face became more and more gloomy. Obviously, the situation was out of his control.
Where are you now? I want you to take Zheng Guangfu and wait for us here. We will go there immediately. Chen Xing didn't want to waste any more words on Zhang Qingyang. He also knew that Zhang Qingyang was just pestering him endlessly, or even stalling for time. Just like what Lin Hong said, if Zhang Qingyang released Zheng Guangfu, it would be really terrible.
Mayor Chen, Zheng Guangfu is not with me now. He has been sent to the detention center temporarily. He should be in the detention center now. Zhang Qingyang pretended to be helpless and said, "Mayor Chen, how about this? Where are you now? I will go with you and go to the detention center together."
Chen Xing didn't expect that Zhang Qingyang would say this. He didn't know whether Zhang Qingyang was telling the truth or not, and he couldn't verify it at this time. Moreover, he couldn't find any fault in Zhang Qingyang's words. He could only say, "Wait for us here, we will go there immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xing's face was very gloomy. Zheng Guangfu might be in the detention center now, which meant that Chang Shengjun didn't inform him as soon as Zheng Guangfu was taken away, which made Chen Xing a little confused.
Chen Xing's guess was right. Chang Shengjun originally wanted to contact him as soon as possible, but Chang Shengjun reported this to Director Wu Hansheng before calling him. Wu Hansheng told them to listen to Chen Xing's instructions after they came down, but he also asked Chang Shengjun to report to him at any time. Therefore, Chang Shengjun called Wu Hansheng first. Chang Shengjun mainly wanted to tell Wu Hansheng that a lot of drugs had been seized. When it came to drugs, it was a big case even in the Ministry. Chang Shengjun's original intention was to discuss with Wu Hansheng whether the Bureau should issue an official document, so that they could have a good reason to send troops. However, he didn't expect that Wu Hansheng would delay for so long.
It was Chang Shengjun who reported this to Wu Hansheng, which led to a certain time delay when Chang Shengjun called Chen Xing. After hearing that the local Public Security Bureau had kidnapped Zheng Guangfu, Wu Hansheng didn't immediately reply to Chang Shengjun's request for the Bureau to officially file a case for investigation. Instead, he said that he needed to think about it and asked Chang Shengjun not to report to Chen Xing in a hurry. As a result, Wu Hansheng's consideration was delayed for more than 20 minutes.
In fact, Wu Hansheng was asking someone to understand the situation in Nanzhou. Although he had no choice but to agree to Chen Xing's request because of his son, Wu Hansheng was more or less unwilling. The most important thing was that Wu Hansheng was worried that he would be involved in the local political struggle, so Wu Hansheng must understand the situation.
With such a delay, it was already 20 minutes later when Chang Shengjun called Chen Xing. He also missed the best time. At this time, Zhang Qingyang and the others had almost arrived at the detention center.
After Zhang Qingyang received the call from Chen Xing, he decisively let Zheng Guangfu get out of the car and took another car to the detention center. As for the arrangement of the detention center, it was not a problem for Zhang Qingyang and the others. The director of the detention center was promoted by Zhang Qingyang. Zhang Qingyang could settle this matter with a phone call.
Zhang Qingyang turned back and stopped at a fork in the road leading to the city. He waited here for Chen Xing and Chang Shengjun, pretending that he came from the city.
About 20 to 30 minutes should be enough for Zheng Guangfu to escape. Sitting in the car, Zhang Qingyang silently calculated the time. When Chen Xing called him, he should be in the city. From the city to here, it would take at least 20 minutes, not including the time that might be delayed in the middle.
Sitting in the car and waiting quietly, Zhang Qingyang raised his hand to look at the time from time to time. He did not feel impatient at all. The longer he waited, the happier he was. He wanted to delay as much time as possible. At this time, apart from Ceng Jiangtao, who was driving, he was the only one in the car. Wu Pengfei also got out of the car with Zheng Guangfu. Zheng Guangfu would "walk" to the detention center and come out immediately. Wu Pengfei would personally drive Zheng Guangfu out of Nanzhou City.
Could it be that these people in the department were related to Chen Xing? While waiting, Zhang Qingyang suddenly thought of this possibility, and his heart immediately sank.
Jiangtao, do you think the people in the department were invited by Mayor Chen? Zhang Qingyang asked.
Mayor Chen? Ceng Jiangtao was startled by the question, then he frowned. Chief Zhang, there was such a possibility.
If it wasn't related to Mayor Chen, there was no reason for him to call so quickly. Think about it, other than him, no one else would have called. Zhang Qingyang speculated.
Chief Zhang, this time, is it really going to be big trouble? Ceng Jiangtao asked carefully, feeling a little uneasy. If Zhang Qingyang, this big tree, fell, then he would also be crushed to death.
Don't say such discouraging words. It's hard to say who will be the winner. Even if Chen Xing wanted to take me down, it wouldn't be that easy. Nanzhou City is not under his control. Zhang Qingyang's face was gloomy. Although his words were tough, Zhang Qingyang was extremely uneasy. Zheng Guangfu's words about the recording were like a thorn in his heart.
At this time, Ceng Jiangtao also maintained his silence. He did not think that this matter would be so easy to solve. The people in the department were already here. Who knew what would happen in the end? He was also worried about his own future.
Little Li, drive as fast as possible. Chen Xing urged Li Yong from time to time on the road. Lin Hong was still sitting in the car. Chen Xing did not think much and turned to look at Lin Hong. Chen Xing suddenly said, "Why are you still in the car? You will meet Zhang Qingyang later. Aren't you afraid of being seen by him?
Your car never stopped, how can I get out? " Lin Hong pursed his lips. The two of them were so focused on talking that they forgot to meet Zhang Qingyang.
You didn't say you wanted to get out, who knew you wanted to. Chen Xing did not know whether to laugh or cry. Little Li, stop by the roadside and let Miss Lin get out first.
How am I going to get a taxi in the middle of nowhere? Lin Hong looked out the window and frowned.
If you don't get out, I don't mind. Anyway, if Zhang Qingyang sees you, it won't affect me. I'm just afraid he might do something bad to you. Chen Xing shrugged indifferently.
Okay, I'll get out. I'll go to the street sign in front. Lin Hong smiled bitterly. She did have some concerns. The most important thing was that she still wanted to maintain her relationship with Li Haocheng. If Zhang Qingyang saw her, Li Haocheng might also suspect her. Before Li Haocheng fell, Lin Hong was still very afraid of Li Haocheng.
After meeting with Chang Shengjun, Chen Xing immediately went to the detention center and met Zhang Qingyang after more than ten minutes. The car did not even stop. Chen Xing directly asked Li Yong to drive forward quickly. He just called Zhang Qingyang and told him to meet at the detention center.
Hey, he was really in a hurry. Looking at Chen Xing's car, Zhang Qingyang sneered. Just now, he received a call from Wu Pengfei. Everything went according to plan. Zheng Guangfu had left the detention center. He had achieved his goal.
After driving for more than ten minutes, Chen Xing arrived at the detention center. Zhang Qingyang's car also slowly stopped from behind. He got out of the car and walked towards Chen Xing. Zhang Qingyang glanced at Chang Shengjun calmly.
Director Zhang, do you still want to say that my identity is fake? When Chang Shengjun saw Zhang Qingyang looking over, he immediately questioned Zhang Qingyang.
With Mayor Chen's testimony, it's naturally not fake. However, the situation just now was special. Zheng Guangfu is suspected of a major criminal activity. Our bureau has already opened a case for investigation. Before we can confirm your identity, it's reasonable for us to bring Zheng Guangfu back. Zhang Qingyang said calmly.
Well, let's not argue about this. Director Zhang, take us to see Zheng Guangfu now. Chen Xing looked at Zhang Qingyang.
Okay, Mayor Chen, come with me. Zhang Qingyang nodded. As they walked forward, the detention center's director, Xie Jinli, also came out to greet them. Zhang Qingyang and Xie Jinli looked at each other and immediately asked in a serious manner, "Director Xie, where is Zheng Guangfu who was just brought over? "Mayor Chen wants to see him."
"He is now in the No. 2 Ward of the Eastern District. Mayor Chen, Director Zhang, I will take you to him." Xie Jinli nodded.
Chen Xing took a serious look at Xie Jinli's performance and felt a lot more relieved. He thought that Zheng Guangfu seemed to be really locked up here. Fortunately, Zhang Qingyang did not release Zheng Guangfu on his own. Even if Zhang Qingyang was left hanging, he would not be so audacious as to do so.
Xie Jinli led the way and they walked to the Eastern District. When they arrived at the No. 2 Ward, Xie Jinli asked the prison guard to open the door. When Chen Xing and the others went in, the room was empty.
"Where is he?" Chen Xing turned and glared at Zhang Qingyang.
"Mayor Chen, I don't know either." Zhang Qingyang smiled bitterly at Chen Xing and looked at Xie Jinli. He was even angrier than Chen Xing. "Director Xie, where is Zheng Guangfu?" "Didn't you say he was locked up in this ward?" "Where is he now?"
"Director Zhang, he was locked up in this ward." Xie Jinli looked like he was about to cry. He also looked at the prison guard who opened the door. "Xiao Liu, where is Zheng Guangfu?" "Why did he disappear for no reason?"
Chang Shengjun didn't say anything and walked into the ward. A set of clothes was thrown in the room. Chang Shengjun recognized it at once. It was the clothes that Zheng Guangfu wore today.
"Mayor Chen, Zheng Guangfu must have escaped." Chang Shengjun walked back to Chen Xing and looked at Zhang Qingyang from the corner of his eyes. Chang Shengjun definitely regarded Zhang Qingyang as the biggest suspect.
At this moment, under Xie Jinli's questioning, the young prison guard was standing silently to the side, saying that he didn't know what was going on either. Zheng Guangfu was clearly locked up here, but he didn't know why he was gone.
"Mayor Chen, go to the control room now and check the surveillance video." Chang Shengjun was the first to react and said to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing nodded in agreement and looked at Zhang Qingyang and Xie Jinli coldly. "Director Xie, take us to the control room."
"Okay, okay, let's go right now." Xie Jinli nodded hurriedly.
Xie Jinli led the way in front, while Chen Xing and the others followed closely behind. Zhang Qingyang also looked anxious and muttered to himself, "How could this happen?"
When they arrived at the surveillance room, Xie Jinli asked someone to bring up the surveillance footage. Very quickly, everyone saw a suspicious scene. Less than two minutes after Zheng Guangfu was locked up in the cell, a prison guard entered the cell. The prison guard took out a set of prison guard uniform and asked Zheng Guangfu to quickly change into it. Then, the two of them came out. Zheng Guangfu kept his head down the entire way. Under the cover of the prison guard, the two of them basically got out of the detention center without any mishaps.
However, when they were about to leave the door of the cell, a prison guard looked at Zheng Guangfu and seemed to want to take a closer look. However, the prison guard who brought Zheng Guangfu out immediately put his hand on the guard's shoulder and walked to the side. Zheng Guangfu was able to leave. Because of his prison guard uniform and the cooperation of the internal personnel, his "escape" was unusually smooth.
"Are you in charge of the control room? What were you doing just now? The criminal escaped right under your nose. Don't you have eyes? " Zhang Qingyang looked at the surveillance video and angrily scolded the staff in the control room.
"I … I just went to the toilet and didn't notice this situation. When I came back, there was nothing abnormal on the surveillance, so … so I didn't pay attention." The staff trembled in fear after being scolded by Zhang Qingyang.
Chen Xing was already livid with anger. This was a conspiracy, a blatant conspiracy. No matter how Zhang Qingyang behaved, Chen Xing could not believe that this matter had nothing to do with Zhang Qingyang. Taking a deep breath, Chen Xing forced himself to calm down. This was not the time to settle accounts. Chen Xing held his breath and said in a low voice, "Director Zhang, now is not the time to be angry. The top priority of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is to arrange for the arrest of the criminal and prevent Zheng Guangfu from escaping the city."
"Mayor Chen is right. I will go back to the bureau to arrange for the arrest and try to trap Zheng Guangfu in Nanzhou City." Zhang Qingyang nodded.
"There is no need to go back to the bureau. You can arrange it now." Chen Xing stared at Zhang Qingyang.
Zhang Qingyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded. In front of Chen Xing, he picked up the phone and made calls one by one. First, it was the Municipal Bureau, then the various branches. Zhang Qingyang seemed to be using his actions to prove his innocence. His orders were issued one by one. The entire city's public security system was mobilized. Checkpoints were set up at every intersection outside the city, and police forces were arranged to seize all of Zheng Guangfu's properties. At the same time, police forces were sent to search several of Zheng Guangfu's residences. Any possible hiding places were not spared. At the same time, the traffic police department was also mobilized to assist in the search …
Zhang Qingyang made all the arrangements he could think of. After doing all this, he glanced at Chen Xing and said to Xie Jinli with a stern face, "Director Xie, I want an explanation for tonight's incident."
Mayor Chen, Director Zhang, the detention center will conduct an internal investigation and investigate the person responsible. " Xie Jinli broke out in a cold sweat.
"As the director, don't you have any responsibility? The prison guards openly helped the criminal escape. As the director, you also have to take responsibility. " Zhang Qingyang said sternly.
"I also have a responsibility. I will bear the responsibility that I have to bear." Xie Jinli said quietly.
Chen Xing watched the conversation between Zhang Qingyang and Xie Jinli coldly. He felt that the scene was ridiculous and left without looking back.
Zhang Qingyang followed Chen Xing out. "Mayor Chen, there might not be any news for a while. Why don't you go back and rest? I will inform you as soon as there is news of Zheng Guangfu."
Chen Xing snorted through his nostrils. After leaving the detention center, he got into his car and left. Chang Shengjun also left with him. Zhang Qingyang stood where he was and watched Chen Xing's car driving away. He heaved a sigh of relief.
Director Zhang, fortunately, you were smarter. If you had released Chief Zheng before he reached the detention center, even you would not be able to escape responsibility. Only then did Ceng Jiangtao dare to approach him.
Director Zhang, I've suffered this time. At this time, Xie Jinwen still had a mournful face. The cold sweat just now might have been fake, but his bad mood was real. Tonight, he was also one of the victims.
Jinwen, don't think too much. As long as I'm fine, the whip won't hit you. At most, you will just criticize me verbally. As for the prison guard below, he is sacrificed. Oh right, is that person reliable?
Absolutely reliable. Of course, I don't dare to be careless. But it's a pity that a young man has become a fugitive. Xie Jinwen shook his head.
"I won't mistreat him. I will definitely satisfy him as promised. After the storm subsides, I can help him change his identity in the future. He can still come back." Zhang Qingyang habitually narrowed his eyes. Jinwen, remember to comfort him. Don't let him think things through.
Chief Zhang, don't worry, that young man is reliable. When he was admitted to our detention center as a prison guard, he was from a single family with a mother. Two months ago, his mother passed away due to illness, so he doesn't have any worries in Nanzhou. That's why I'm confident in letting him do this. This kid is usually smart. Xie Jinwen smiled, rolling his eyes. Chief Zhang, you promised me three million as a reward, but what about this sum of money?
I will pay. Ask him to open an account in Hong Kong. I will find a chance to send it to him. Tell him not to worry. Zhang Qingyang said in a low voice. He was calculating in his heart that this sum of money had to be taken from Zheng Guangfu. When Zheng Guangfu successfully left this place, he would make Zheng Guangfu pay for it. He did not want to be a sucker.
That's good. There's no problem with the money. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the kid will change his mind. Xie Jinwen said with a smile. Although he kept saying that the person was reliable, if he did not fulfill his promise, then he did not have the confidence that the young prison guard would not do anything impulsive. As for the promised 3 million, it was also Zhang Qingyang who proposed it.
You don't have to worry about the money. What you need to do now is to 'investigate' tonight's' prison break. 'Submit a report to the bureau tomorrow. Also submit the punishment. Zhang Qingyang ordered.
I'll do this well later and hand in a 'perfect' answer sheet. Xie Jinwen nodded.
In the No. 1 building of the Municipal Party Committee Family Compound, Ge Jian-ming, who was wearing pajamas, was sitting on the sofa listening to the phone. As the person on the other side of the phone reported the situation, Ge Jian-ming's face gradually turned solemn.
Secretary Ge, this time Mayor Chen is most likely going to punish Zhang Qingyang. Secretary Ge, what do you think? The person on the other side of the phone asked carefully.
Do you dare to stand out and testify against Zhang Qingyang now? Ge Jian-ming pondered for a while and suddenly said.
Secretary Ge, now … now? The person on the other side of the phone was startled.
Yes! I'll hold a meeting tomorrow. I'll ask someone to invite you and Zhang Qingyang to attend. You can testify against Zhang Qingyang then. Ge Jian-ming said expressionlessly.
Secretary Ge, but I don't have any evidence. The person on the other side of the phone said anxiously.
Really? You've worked with Zhang Qingyang for so long. How can you not have evidence?
I know he has done a lot of things, but I don't have any substantial evidence. Words alone can't be used as evidence.
I don't need any substantial evidence. I just need a reason. With your identity, as long as you stand out and testify against him, I will have enough reasons. Now it's up to you whether you have the guts or not. Ge Jian-ming's tone was low, but it was strong and firm. As the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jian-ming completely showed his domineering side at this time.
Secretary Ge, I'll do as you say.
