Reaching the Pinnacle: Starting from Joining the Discipline Inspection Commission

Puff!

The moment the sound came, the air suddenly froze, and Xu Chu and the other two stared ahead, dumbfounded.

Finished!

That was their first thought, but they soon discovered the difference.

Yan Xiaoqian was breathing steadily and did not appear to be injured, while Wang Feng looked pained.

"Oh no, Wang Feng..."

Xu Chu was the first to react. He rushed forward, grabbed the lunchbox from the side, and threw it directly at Xiang Qianlong.

Tian Qingluo and Xiang Yuanwu also realized what was happening and started looking around for something suitable.

"This stab didn't kill you, but next time, you might not be so lucky."

Xiang Qianlong grinned maliciously, then turned and jumped out of the window.

Wang Feng looked at the broken window with a serious expression, realizing that they might have all been deceived by Xiang Qianlong.

Xiang Qianlong is not as he appears on the surface; he possesses a level of cunning far beyond his years. If such a person is not eliminated, he will be extremely dangerous.

"Wang Feng, are you alright?"

Xu Chu and the other two quickly stepped forward, their faces filled with lingering fear.

Wang Feng looked at the three of them, baring his teeth, but in his heart he thought that Yan Xiaoqian's identity must be extraordinary to make them so afraid.

"Mayor Xu, Secretary Tian, ​​Secretary Xiang, I'm fine... *pfft*..."

Before he could finish speaking, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. The excruciating pain in his back made it impossible for him to remain calm.

"Wang Feng, don't say anything yet, Dean Hu will be here soon."

A moment later…

Wang Feng was wheeled into the operating room, while Xu Chu and the other two went to Hu Youcai's office.

All three of them had grim faces, and across from them, Mu Qingming's forehead was constantly covered in cold sweat.

"Director Mu, how could you not find such a large, living person? Are the hospital's surveillance cameras just for show? Or are all your men incompetent?"

It's no wonder Xu Chu got angry; the moment Xiang Qianlong jumped out the window to escape, Mu Qingming rushed out as well.

I thought that with Mu Qingming's abilities, capturing Xiang Qianlong would be a piece of cake, but I didn't expect him to tell me that he hadn't caught him.

Not only did they fail to catch him, but they also let Xiang Qianlong escape right under their noses, which made Xu Chu suspect that Mu Qingming might have done it on purpose.

"Mayor Xu, Secretary Tian, ​​Secretary Xiang, it was my fault. I will immediately arrange a city-wide manhunt for Xiang Qianlong. As long as he is still in Rongzhou, he will not be able to escape."

Hearing Mu Qingming say this, Xu Chu and the other two's expressions improved slightly, but the thought that they had been tricked by Xiang Qianlong made their anger burn fiercely again.

They all misjudged the situation.

Xiang Qianlong's intelligence exceeded all of their expectations, and his disguise fooled them all.

"Mayor Xu, Secretary Tian, ​​this is my fault, it was me..."

As he spoke, Xiang Yuanwu's eyes quickly reddened, and two lines of clear tears slid down his cheeks.

"Old Xiang, this has nothing to do with you. Nobody expected him to be hiding this so well."

Xu Chu spoke.

Upon hearing Xu Chu's words, Xiang Yuanwu remained silent, appearing as if he had aged decades in an instant, a sight that evoked pity.

In just two or three days, too many unexpected things happened to him.

The events that happened to Xiang Qianlong, in particular, dealt him a very heavy blow.

The son he had raised for over twenty years turned out not to be his biological child. Every time he thought of this, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.

Seeing Xiang Qianlong's appearance, Xu Chu and Tian Qingluo exchanged a glance, then got up and walked outside.

At this point, let him calm down on his own.

Xiang Yuanwu watched Xu Chu and the other man leave, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He lit one cigarette after another, staying there until dawn.

……

Longwan Villas.

As Chen Dashan listened to Mu Qingming's report, his brows furrowed deeply.

Xiang Qianlong's unusual behavior also exceeded his expectations; he never imagined that Xiang Qianlong would hide his true intentions so well.

Even he hadn't expected this.

"Secretary, there's one more thing that we should perhaps pay attention to."

Hearing Mu Qingming say this, Chen Dashan looked up at him, only to hear Mu Qingming continue, "Xiang Qianlong might not be Secretary Xiang's son."

Ok?

Chen Dashan was startled, and even his usually unchanging face showed emotion.

Are you sure?

Mu Qingming shook his head, then repeated what Wang Feng had said to Xiang Qianlong in the ward.

"It's uncertain, but based on the circumstances at the time, Xiang Qianlong was most likely not Secretary Xiang's son."

Chen Dashan remained silent, his mind rapidly processing the bombshell news brought by Mu Qingming.

He could fully anticipate the sensation this news would cause if it got out.

"There's one more thing..."

Chen Dashan looked at Mu Qingming with some dissatisfaction, "Why can't you just say it all at once?"

Mu Qingming gave an awkward smile, and then voiced another guess that was on his mind.

"Yan Xiaoqian may have a powerful background!"

Chen Dashan's expression changed again as he stared at Mu Qingming, his look becoming even more solemn and serious than before.

"Comrade Qingming, how could you say such things carelessly? Aren't you the police chief? Finding out someone's identity should be very simple, right?"

It's no wonder Chen Dashan was serious; if what Mu Qingming said was true, then everything they did tonight would become a time bomb that would backfire on them.

"Secretary, I've investigated!"

Mu Qingming spoke somewhat awkwardly, continuing, "But the results of the investigation were exactly the same as the government records, which is why I still can't understand it."

"Go on."

Chen Dashan realized the seriousness of the situation.

As the director of the Public Security Bureau, Mu Qingming could easily find out someone's identity, but the fact that he could say such a thing shows that the matter is truly beyond his capabilities.

"Secretary, think about it. If Yan Xiaoqian were really just an ordinary person, why would Xu Chu and Tian Qingluo have rushed over there after learning that Yan Xiaoqian was in trouble..."

"The most crucial thing is—"

As you know, Xiang Yuanwu cares a lot about Xiang Qianlong, and was even prepared to personally order Wang Feng's arrest. But then, I don't know what Tian Qingluo said to him, his attitude changed instantly..."

"I've thought about it for a long time, and it seems to be the only possibility. I really can't think of any other reason."

After listening to Mu Qingming's account, Chen Dashan remained silent for a long time, his mind racing through the three pieces of information Mu Qingming had brought.

Any one of them made him feel a sense of crisis.

The situation seemed to be slipping out of his control little by little, a feeling that made him very uncomfortable.

"Seimei, if I gave you time, how long would it take you to find out someone's background?"

Mu Qingming knew what Chen Dashan wanted to do. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Three days."

"No, three days is too long. Two days. We must find out Yan Xiaoqian's true identity within two days, no matter what method we use."

Mu Qingming nodded.

"Is there still no news about Xiang Qianlong's whereabouts?"

"Secretary, I'm not lying about this. Xiang Qianlong seems to have vanished from the face of the earth. No matter how hard we search, we can't find any trace of him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dashan fell silent again.

He had a feeling that a third force was lurking right under his nose.

"Alright, I understand. In the next two days, focus all your efforts on finding out Yan Xiaoqian's true identity. As for the rest, you don't need to worry about it."

Mu Qingming nodded, got up and left. A moment later, Chen Dashan came to the bedroom and took out an old-fashioned cell phone from the bottom drawer of the bedside table.

I opened my phone, and there was only one number in it, saved as "Gu" in the contact name.

"Hey, is it a good time? Come over here!"
