Chapter 1234: Do Human Efforts and Leave the Rest to Fate

Those two from Dingnan, hearing that Zhao Baoli had called here, felt their hearts start to thump wildly.

After Yuan Wanqi and the others went down, these two guys didn't move, but stood at the stairs waiting.

What exactly happened? Zhao Baoli had chased all the way here, and it was to report directly to the leader.

When they saw Li Xingquan coming out of the conference room with a gloomy face, their hearts skipped a beat again.

"What are you two still standing here for?" Li Xingquan suppressed his anger. "Zhao Baoli is at the Municipal Guesthouse; you go immediately to rendezvous with him and return to Dingnan."

Watching Li Xingquan walk quickly down the stairs, the two looked at each other foolishly. It seemed something really big had happened.

They wanted to ask, but didn't dare; they just followed Li Xingquan out of the factory building.

Chen Baokun, the Municipal Bureau Chief, was saying something to Miss Yang, who was following for the interview, but looking at the smile on his face, he looked like a dog in heat.

"Miss Yang, our Ganzhou has beautiful mountains, clear waters, and good scenery; it's an old revolutionary area. You are a very busy person, and it's not easy to come here once. Taking advantage of this interview opportunity, you can walk around and have a good look. If you don't mind, I can also be your tour guide."

A trace of disgust flashed in Miss Yang's eyes, but her face wore a polite smile.

"Thank you, Chief Chen. The task of this interview is very important. After it ends, I have to return to Jingcheng to produce the program."

"That's truly a pity."

Chen Baokun was licking his face, just about to say something more to get close, when he heard Li Xingquan's shout.

"Chen Baokun!"

"Leader!" This guy turned around reflexively and ran over.

Miss Yang took a look and saw that Li Xingquan's face was not right, and he was saying something to Chen Baokun. Immediately after, Chen Baokun's face also changed.

Her heart stirred; the operation over in Lingbei had ended, and immediately after, she became a little nervous, hoping Old Guan and the others could escape smoothly.

And Yuan Wanqi also noticed the situation here. When she looked over, she happened to meet the gaze of Miss Yang, who had turned her head back.

The two looked at each other for about three seconds, then nodded slightly at the same time and smiled unobtrusively.

At this time, the other reporters from the province and the city who were following the interview also discovered something was wrong.

They wanted to go over, but were stopped by Li Xingquan's secretary, Sun Xuehui, because he also discovered the problem and figured something must have happened.

It was just a few minutes; Chen Baokun turned around and ran, then got into his car and sped away.

The police officers who followed and were responsible for security looked at each other. What's going on? Why did the boss run away alone?

Li Xingquan walked over with a smile on his face.

"General Manager Yuan, I'm sorry, something came up and delayed everyone's time."

"It's alright." Yuan Wanqi smiled. "Official business is important."

"Let's go!" Li Xingquan got into his car.

Yuan Wanqi also got into the car arranged by the municipal government; the one driving was Zhao Hong.

"General Manager Yuan, the operation on Reporter Guan's side might have ended."

Yuan Wanqi nodded, "I guessed as much. I hope they can be smooth."

……………………

Chen Baokun's accelerator pedal was almost pressed into the mailbox; the engine made an overloaded roaring sound, and the ear-piercing siren sounded all the way.

Originally an hour's drive, he returned in half an hour.

Parking the car at the gate of the Municipal Bureau office building, he jumped out of the car, not even having time to close the door, and ran into the office building.

"Chief Chen!"

A police officer was startled to see Chen Baokun running into the office building and hurriedly greeted him.

Chen Baokun shouted, "Quick, notify Political Commissar Ning and the two Deputy Chiefs, Gao and Jiang, to come to the office to see me."

Seeing Chen Baokun like this, the police officer's heart suddenly jumped to his throat. It seemed something had happened.

Otherwise, how could Chen Baokun, who was performing security tasks following the Xiangjiang inspection delegation, suddenly return, and so urgently?

Chen Baokun returned to his office and called the SWAT and criminal police, telling the captains to assemble all police forces immediately and wait for orders.

He had just put down the phone when the office door was pushed open, and Political Commissar Ning Xue walked in.

"Old Chen, what happened? So urgent?"

"Something big happened." Chen Baokun said in a deep voice, "Villagers of Tianhe Village, Lingbei Town, Dingnan, and the rare earth mine owner had a conflict, and several people died."

Ning Xue was stunned, "How many people died? Can't Dingnan handle it themselves? Why are you so anxious?"

Chen Baokun said with a heavy tone, "Because this conflict was premeditated and planned. There were reporters hidden among the villagers, and the conflict process was recorded."

"F*ck!" Ning Xue felt a jolt. The refined man cursed, and immediately after, his face also changed. "This damn thing, if not handled well, it's going to turn the sky upside down."

Chen Baokun nodded, "The leader gave an order that we must catch the reporters and find the videotape, but this matter has already passed four or five hours. How to catch them?"

At this time, Deputy Chiefs Gao Jinmin and Jiang Fang walked in.

Well, the name Jiang Fang looks very feminine, but he is indeed an old man, and one with very heavy stubble.

"Chief Chen, what's going on?" Jiang Fang asked, putting the cigarette he was holding in his hand into his mouth and taking a puff.

Ning Xue explained the matter. Gao Jinmin and Jiang Fang looked at each other and didn't say anything, but fell silent.

Chen Baokun said, "Speak up, what to do now? The leader gave an order that we must catch the reporters and find the videotape."

Gao Jinmin pondered for a moment, "What else can we do? Notify the counties below as soon as possible to deploy controls on the roads leaving the province."

Chen Baokun asked, "You mean to say they will leave the province?"

"Does this still need to be said?" Gao Jinmin said, "If this matter is planned and premeditated, and there is a black hand pushing it from behind, the reporter is definitely not from our province."

Jiang Fang spat the cigarette butt in his mouth onto the ground and stepped on it, "If they want to leave the province, Shaoguan is closest to us."

"Very reasonable!" Ning Xue nodded, "But four or five hours have already passed. Wanting to catch people is not that easy."

"Do human efforts and leave the rest to fate." Chen Baokun grabbed the phone, "I'll contact the Shaoguan police to cooperate with our arrest."

Worthy of being police, in just a few sentences, they figured out the retreat route of Guan Shengjie and the others.

If it weren't for releasing Yuan Wanqi as a smoke bomb to entangle them, it would have been very difficult for Guan Shengjie and the others to escape so smoothly.

……………………

Duan Mingwei, Chief of the Shaoguan Municipal Bureau, was sitting in his office drinking tea. When the phone rang, he didn't answer it immediately, only picking it up after it rang a few times.

"Hello, I am Duan Mingwei."

"Chief Duan!" Chen Baokun's voice came through the receiver, "I am Chen Baokun from Ganzhou. This morning, a vicious criminal case occurred in Dingnan. The culprit may have sneaked into your Shaoguan City. I request your municipal bureau to assist in the arrest."

Duan Mingwei's tone suddenly became serious, "Fax me the culprit's identity information and physical characteristics."

Chen Baokun said helplessly, "We haven't determined the culprit's exact identity yet, but we suspect he is a reporter."

A mocking smile appeared on Duan Mingwei's face, "If it's only like this, how do you want me to assist you in catching people?"

Chen Baokun also knew this was a bit difficult for others, but he couldn't just give up like this; he had to try his luck anyway.

"Now we only have this little information, let's try our luck."

Duan Mingwei sighed, "Alright, I'll arrange it right away."

"Then thank you, Chief Duan. We will go to Shaoguan immediately." Chen Baokun hung up the phone.

Duan Mingwei looked at the phone in his hand and chuckled, "People are already in Yangcheng, and will be on the plane in an hour. Any later, and they'll be in Jingcheng, damn it." ===== CHAPTER 1235 =====
