Seeing himself trending, Qi Tong Wei couldn't be happy.
This was a crucial period for the "Ice Breaking Operation," and he was leading the mission, taking over from Li Wei Min.
Any news about him could affect the success or failure of the mission.
Therefore, Qi Tong Wei decisively contacted Ma Yun Bo, asking him to arrange for the Information Department to take down the video.
Ma Yun Bo was now fully committed to Qi Tong Wei.
After all, his wife was still being "invited for tea" at the guesthouse, and his political future was in Qi Tong Wei's hands. He couldn't help but cooperate.
And now, after shedding his burden, Ma Yun Bo was more motivated at work.
In the past, he had been burdened with heavy shackles, sitting in the director's seat as if he were sitting on a hot iron bench.
He was anxious and uneasy.
Now, with the idea of standing firm for his last post, Ma Yun Bo had actually dealt with many unresolved problems that had been left behind in the city bureau.
After instructing Ma Yun Bo to deal with the video, Qi Tong Wei also considered the possibility of news of Lin Sheng Wu's arrest reaching the Tower.
If it reached Lin Yao Dong's ears, a chain reaction could occur.
Therefore, he reminded Ma Yun Bo how to deal with Lin Yao Dong's inquiries.
At the same time, Qi Tong Wei called Zhao Jia Liang and arranged to meet him to discuss the specifics of the subsequent mission.
As expected, the video spread quickly, and Lin Yao Dong indeed received news of Lin Sheng Wu's arrest.
This news was a fatal blow to Lin Yao Dong, who was preparing to work hard and make a big move!
Lin Sheng Wu was one of the core members of the Tower's drug manufacturing and trafficking gang.
He knew too much about things and inside information!
If Lin Sheng Wu talked, or if he had any incriminating evidence in his hands, the entire Tower would face ruin!
Thinking about this, Lin Yao Dong immediately felt uneasy.
He hurriedly called Ma Yun Bo.
Ma Yun Bo thought Qi Tong Wei was truly insightful, even guessing the reaction of the old fox Lin Yao Dong.
"Hello? What's up?"
Ma Yun Bo answered the phone slowly after the ringing stopped.
Lin Yao Dong didn't beat around the bush and directly asked: "Director Ma, did your people arrest Lin Sheng Wu?"
Ma Yun Bo naturally couldn't tell him that Lin Sheng Wu was with the investigation team.
He said: "Yes, your guy was so bold! He fired a gun on the street and attempted murder!"
"Lin Sheng Wu committed a serious crime. He's still in custody."
Lin Yao Dong pondered for a moment before saying: "Can you make him shut up forever?"
Ma Yun Bo said impatiently: "Mr. Lin, last time you wanted to kill Tang Xiao Hu, you ended up sending Chen Guang Rong in, and he's still drinking tea inside!"
"What, do you want to send me in this time too?"
Lin Yao Dong knew his request was excessive. After the last incident, Chen Guang Rong was labeled a corrupt cop and hasn't been released yet.
At this point, taking action against a detained suspect would likely trigger a chain reaction.
However, without silencing Lin Sheng Wu, Lin Yao Dong would remain uneasy and anxious.
He thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "Director Ma, you have to help me with this!"
"One week! No matter what, you help me delay the interrogation for a week!"
"After a week, Lin Sheng Wu is yours to do with as you please!"
Ma Yun Bo's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Lin Yao Dong was desperate and was going to start his drug production plan early!
He pretended to ponder for a moment, then said coldly: "Lin Yao Dong, this is the last time I'm helping you with this mess."
He hung up the phone before Lin Yao Dong could speak.
A moment later, Ma Yun Bo called Qi Tong Wei.
"Hello, this is Ma Yun Bo."
"Things turned out as you expected."
"That's right, he asked me to delay things for a week, and I pretended to agree with him."
"Anything else you need me to help with, just say the word."
"Don't be polite, I'm just atoning for my sins..."
While Qi Tong Wei was busy, Hou Liang Ping, who worked in the Anti-Corruption Bureau in Beijing, also saw the video from Dongshan.
When he saw that the person being kidnapped was Zhong Xiao Ai, he was completely thrown off!
He immediately called Zhong Xiao Ai.
"Hello! Xiao Ai! Why did you go to Dongshan without telling me?"
"Don't you know how worried I was when I saw the video?"
"I'm not blaming you. Are you okay? Are your injuries serious?"
"I'm immediately booking the earliest flight to go get you!"
"Xiao Ai, don't say that. I know you're scared without me there, I'm coming right over, okay?"
"What? You don't need me to go?"
"Xiao Ai, listen to me..."
Beep beep beep...
Zhong Xiao Ai hung up the phone after a series of busy tones.
Hou Liang Ping's face turned pale, not sure whether he was angry or dumbfounded.
Why was Zhong Xiao Ai in Dongshan?
What had happened to her there? Why did she seem so different?
Thinking about this, Hou Liang Ping watched the video again.
This time, his gaze finally moved away from Zhong Xiao Ai and landed on the face of the policeman who rescued her.
He didn't look closely before, but now he was surprised!
Wasn't this Qi Tong Wei, who was in the same class as him?
Didn't they hear that he was assigned to a rural police station in Lincheng?
Back then, Hou Liang Ping felt sympathy for this excellent classmate who was overlooked.
But that was all.
In Hou Liang Ping's view, they were people from different worlds. Even if they were fortunate enough to be classmates, they would eventually return to their respective positions.
And they wouldn't have any further contact.
In the blink of an eye, how did he end up in Dongshan as a policeman?
And more importantly, how was he with Zhong Xiao Ai?
What was their relationship?
Hou Liang Ping furrowed his brows, his mind filled with various guesses.
"No! I have to fly to Dongshan! I have to personally pick Xiao Ai up!"
Hou Liang Ping was determined.
He was no longer calm!
