Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

Tian Guofu was somewhat shocked.

He never expected Qi Tongwei to be so bold as to confront Sha Ruijin in public.

What Gao Yuliang dared not say, Qi Tongwei dared to say.

How can this be allowed?

The Sha family's boat seemed a bit unstable.

What to do?

Sha Ruijin's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression cold. "Executive Qi, it seems you're adopting a strategy of eliminating everyone today."

The methods were somewhat underhanded.

These five words are an attempt to define Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei scoffed, completely unconcerned.

"Comrade Ruijin, isn't that right? Tian Guofu was being dishonest first; I was just following his example. I think the key now is to catch him. Where is Ding Yizhen? How do we bring him back?"

Governor Liu nodded. "Executive Qi is right."

Let's all keep quiet.

Now is not the time to nitpick over words and shift blame.

Ding Yizhen has already flown abroad and is probably in South Korea.

The only thing we need to do right now is to finalize a solution.

The Interpol Red Notice has been issued, and further follow-up actions are required.

We must investigate who is responsible.

However, now is not the time to assign blame.

"We can put the accountability process on hold for now; let's bring Ding Yizhen back first."

The seasoned veteran stepped in and stabilized the situation with just a few words.

However, there are still those who are blind to reason.

Tang Lijuan spoke coldly: "Governor Liu, you can't say that. If mistakes aren't investigated, the consequences will be endless."

Ding Yizhen's escape exposed the loopholes in the supervision of the political and legal system in Handong.

If we don't hold them accountable today, there will be a second and a third Ding Yizhen tomorrow.

Actually, Tang Lijuan didn't want to say these things at all.

The note that Tian Guofu handed her read like this.

Tung Kin-ming nodded in agreement: "Minister Tang is right. If the rules are not strict, the atmosphere will be unhealthy."

Someone has to pay for this.

The standoff and tug-of-war resumed.

Feng Liqun raised an eyebrow and retorted coldly.

"Pay the bill? Who pays the bill? The person who does the work pays the bill, while the person who shifts the blame watches the show?"

Tian Guofu sat in his office the whole day yesterday, didn't go to the site to supervise, and yet he ended up completely clean?

Tian Guofu slammed his fist on the table, his face flushed, "Feng Liqun!"

Watch your words!

You have to be careful what you say.

I didn't go to the site because I had to coordinate the province-wide discipline inspection and supervision work!

Qi Tongwei felt that Feng Liqun's performance was acceptable and that he needed to add fuel to the fire.

He looked at Tian Guofu and said sarcastically, "Coordination? To put it bluntly, it's just sitting in the back and watching the show."

"Secretary Guo Fu, you act with a clear conscience."

While frontline officers work through the night to set up checkpoints, you're in your office drinking tea and coordinating operations.

When things went wrong, you turned around and blamed the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate.

That was a brilliant move, truly masterful.

Do you like it, buddy?

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

It's incredibly fun to criticize Tian Guofu.

Tian Guofu retorted, "Executive Qi, I'm just directing from the rear. Aren't all team leaders like that?"

"Oh, okay, so you admit you're the team leader. If Ding Yizhen isn't brought back, you'll be held responsible first."

Governor Liu just mentioned pursuing repatriation overseas.

There's an uncertainty now.

"Executive Director Qi, just say it," Governor Liu said, somewhat curious.

Qi Tongwei sighed, "I just arrived in Handong and discovered that there are problems with the Handong Provincial Public Security Bureau."

Even though someone was watching him beforehand, Ding Yizhen still managed to escape.

Needless to say, Chen Shan alone is highly problematic; the provincial public security department's report is vague and ambiguous.

Whether Ding Yizhen fled abroad or is still in China remains inconclusive.

"Oh, how so? I think Director Chen's report is very detailed." Sha Ruijin became interested.

It's good to have problems; problems allow us to win over some people and suppress others.

It seems Qi Tongwei is still young; he directly handed over a knife.

For a moment, Sha Ruijin felt a little smug.

Tian Guofu quickly chimed in: "Secretary Sha, that's right. Ding Yizhen, using the alias Tom Ding, took an international flight to South Korea."

Feng Liqun pressed further: "Secretary Guofu, where exactly is Ding Yizhen?"

Tian Guofu shook his head. "Vice Governor Feng, leave professional matters to professionals. I think it would be more appropriate to let Public Security Bureau Director Chen Shan handle this."

Sha Ruijin nodded: "Okay, Guofu, call Chen Shan, Ji Changming and Chen Hai in."

That's Sha Ruijin; the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee decided to add people, and so they did.

They expanded as they pleased.

Gao Yuliang now felt grateful to Qi Tongwei for reminding him; otherwise, he would have been the one to be besieged.

After a while.

Three footsteps approached from afar.

Chen Shan, Ji Changming, and Chen Hai entered the conference room in turn.

Without any further formalities, Sha Ruijin simply raised his hand in greeting.

"The three of you, please don't be shy. Tell us the details of what happened on the night Ding Yizhen fled. Who would like to speak?"

Chen Hai had just sat down when he stood up again. "Secretary Sha, last night, Ding Yizhen attended an investor appreciation banquet at the Jingzhou Hotel."

Midway through the banquet, he pretended to receive a phone call from Wu Xiongfei, the mayor of Jingzhou City, and left early under the pretext of having urgent work to do.

Before leaving, he deliberately took off his suit jacket and gave it to Director Wang, who was accompanying him, to put on, intentionally creating the illusion that he was still at the banquet.

They then boarded a private car through the back door of the hotel.

During the journey, he gave the driver 1,000 yuan in cash, lied that his elderly mother was sick, and asked the driver to rush to Yantai to visit his mother overnight.

After the driver left, we drove around several streets, bypassing the main roads, and hailed a taxi to the airport...

The explanation is clear and detailed, revealing the entire escape process.

Qi Tongwei tapped the table. "Comrades, did you hear that?"

Ding Yizhen had an extremely strong sense of counter-surveillance.

Every step was deliberately designed, with each link interconnected and flawless.

How could an ordinary department-level cadre have such meticulous thoughts?

There must be a mastermind behind this.

Chen Shan shook his head slightly, "Executive Qi, it can't be generalized."

Ding Yizhen held important positions for many years, had been involved in officialdom for a long time, and had frequent dealings with public security and discipline inspection departments.

It's normal for them to become familiar with our investigative methods through constant exposure.

Qi Tongwei turned to Chen Shan and said, "Director Chen, so what if he's familiar with the procedures? The information about the surveillance is top secret. How could he possibly time it so precisely? He managed to escape under the supervision of the procuratorate. I absolutely do not believe there was no insider tipping him off."

Feng Liqun immediately chimed in: "Executive Qi is right! It must have been an internal leak! We must thoroughly investigate every link and find the mole!"

These people are incredibly audacious, openly defying the law!

Chen Shan looked troubled. "The public security authorities have been investigating and tracing the source overnight."

Yesterday, thousands of calls and text messages were made and received near the provincial party committee compound.

The scope of the investigation is too broad, and we did not specifically monitor any personnel beforehand, making it extremely difficult to accurately pinpoint the person who tipped us off.

It will be difficult to find any clues in the short term.

Sha Ruijin slammed his right hand on the table. "Even if it's difficult, we must investigate."

We must investigate thoroughly, show no leniency, and deal with this matter seriously.

Chen Shan, continue your report on the airport situation.

Let's analyze this together and see which part of the process went wrong.
