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

Qi Tongwei narrowed his eyes.

Li Shiya surrendered herself to the police.

At this critical juncture.

The head of the Shanshui Group, instead of running away, deliberately walked into the line of fire.

It's a bit of a mental lapse.

Something seems off!

"Yes, well done. Take him back to the Public Security Bureau and interrogate him thoroughly. No one is allowed to visit or contact him."

Liu Chang quickly replied, "Yes, Governor Qi."

Qi Tongwei hung up the phone, walked back to Gao Yuliang and Sha Ruijin, and said a few words.

Sha Ruijin's face darkened, and he remained silent.

Chen Shan's trail went cold, but that also meant the real game was just beginning.

Tian Guofu wanted to interrogate Li Shiya immediately.

Key figure.

Hou Liangping also wanted to go. "Leave the task of interrogating Li Shiya to me. I guarantee I'll complete the interrogation and find out Chen Shan's whereabouts."

Ji Changming glared at him. "Monkey, get out of the way. Let the provincial committee decide."

Chen Yanshi glared at Hou Liangping, realizing that in the face of self-interest, personal relationships were worthless.

Tian Guofu, Gao Mingyuan, and Ji Changming said nothing more and immediately returned to the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province, hoping to get Li Shiya to talk.

Sha Ruijin called his secretary Bai and hurriedly left.

Regardless of the outcome, all I want to do now is go back to sleep.

Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei got into the car.

Gao Yuliang leaned back in his seat. "Tongwei, I think things are getting complicated. Where exactly is Chen Shan hiding?"

Qi Tongwei shook his head. "Teacher, I want to know too. Chen Shan is too familiar with Handong and the Public Security Bureau. I guess he was prepared."

However, it's a bit outrageous that Li Shiya has turned herself in, especially at the airport.

Gao Yuliang sighed. "Tongwei, perhaps she felt she couldn't escape. She turned herself in to reduce her punishment."

Qi Tongwei smiled. "Teacher, think about it. If Chen Shan can hide, why not let Li Shiya hide too?"

Gao Yuliang couldn't figure it out, so he simply closed his eyes.

the other side.

Gyeongju International Airport.

Liu Chang stood by the car door, dressed in a police uniform, his face ashen.

Li Shiya wore a well-tailored black trench coat, carrying only a small handbag. Her long hair was tied up at the back of her head, and she exuded a cool and composed aura.

Wearing handcuffs, I felt no discomfort whatsoever.

Liu Chang tilted his head slightly towards the car door.

Li Shiya bent down and sat in the back seat of the police car, her movements as elegant as if she were attending a high-class banquet.

Liu Chang got in and the car door closed.

Police motorcycles led the way as they drove out of the airport.

Liu Chang stared at Li Shiya's profile and got straight to the point, "Li Shiya, where's Chen Shan?"

Li Shiya placed her hands on her knees, turned her head to look at the flashing terminal lights outside the window, and spoke softly.

"I have no idea."

Liu Chang sneered, "You don't know? You, the chairman of the Shanshui Group, showed up at the airport in the middle of the night with your passport, saying you wanted to turn yourself in. You're telling me you don't know where Chen Shan is?"

Li Shiya turned her head to meet Liu Chang's gaze. "Captain Liu, I really don't know. Does this count as turning myself in?"

Liu Chang gritted his teeth and said, "Fine."

Li Shiya nodded, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes.

"Very well. From now on, I will not say another word until my lawyer arrives."

He's definitely a ruthless person.

The carriage fell completely silent.

Liu Chang clenched his fist.

It felt like punching cotton.

The police officer in the lead car stepped on the gas, and the police car sped into the night of Jingzhou.

Li Shiya was like a cold and beautiful sculpture, with her eyes closed, letting the alarm sound echo in her ears, not responding to any words, and not revealing any of her secrets.

The car carrying Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang sped along.

The ginkgo trees on both sides of the road receded backward.

It was pitch black outside the car window.

Only the yellow light from the streetlights occasionally shines into the car.

Gao Yuliang leaned back in his seat, his head tilted back, his eyelids drooping.

Secretary He, sitting in the passenger seat, stared straight ahead, barely daring to breathe.

Qi Tongwei sat next to Gao Yuliang, tapping his fingers on his knee.

Li Shiya's decision to turn herself in was a very unorthodox move.

They don't follow any rules at all.

No one can sleep if they go back to the provincial party committee at this time.

Ring ring.

The cell phone rang.

Qi Tongwei took out his phone.

The screen lit up.

A string of random numbers was jumping around.

It even started with a plus sign.

It turned out to be an overseas number.

Qi Tongwei frowned.

He was calling his own cell phone in the middle of the night.

I didn't really want to answer.

Slide the answer button and put it to your ear.

"Feed".

A hoarse male voice came through the receiver.

"Guess who I am?"

The standard tactics of scammers.

Qi Tongwei lost his temper.

Chen Hai feigns illness, Li Shiya surrenders herself, Chen Shan runs away—a whole host of troubles pile up on their heads.

Now I'm getting another scam call.

"Liar, are you crazy? Are you looking for a beating?"

Qi Tongwei swiped down, preparing to hang up.

A hand reached out from the side.

Gao Yuliang held down Qi Tongwei's wrist.

The carriage was eerily quiet.

Gao Yuliang opened his eyes and stared straight at the phone in Qi Tongwei's hand.

The two exchanged a glance.

Having spent so many years in officialdom, some intuitions are ingrained in my bones.

At this point, any overseas calls are definitely not just scams.

Gao Yuliang released his hand and patted the front seat.

"Xiao He, pull over."

Slammed on the brakes.

The car was parked in the shadow between two streetlights.

"Xiao He, go downstairs and have a smoke. Go somewhere else."

Without saying a word, Secretary He opened the car door and got out.

I jogged all the way and stood by the flower bed a dozen meters away.

The car door slammed shut.

All the car windows were rolled up to the top.

Only Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei remained in the car.

Gao Yuliang pointed to the phone screen.

Qi Tongwei turned on speakerphone and placed the phone flat between the two of them.

I casually pressed the record button.

The timer on the screen ticked up second by second.

No one spoke.

A hissing sound came from the receiver.

Qi Tongwei cleared his throat. "Speak. Who exactly are you?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end.

The voice has changed.

The hoarseness from before disappeared, replaced by an extremely unpleasant mechanical sound.

Dry, stiff, and without any texture.

"I am Chen Shan."

Four words: extraordinary.

Qi Tongwei felt a chill run down his spine, leaned back in his seat, and stared at his phone.

Gao Yuliang adjusted his glasses.

This kid actually dared to call.

Wouldn't that be like walking into a trap?

Qi Tongwei snorted coldly, "Chen Shan? Stop playing tricks. Use your real voice."

The mechanical voice in the receiver emitted a few strange laughs.

It's as harsh as scraping the bottom of a pot.

"Governor Qi, my old classmate. You're still so wary."

I used a voice changer. These days, if you're not careful, you won't even have a bone fragment left.

Qi Tongwei didn't respond, "Anyone can use a voice changer. You can find any Tom, Dick, or Harry on the street to impersonate Chen Shan."

"You don't believe me?" The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment.

"Then I'll tell you something you'll believe. My sister is Chen Yang. She's the white moonlight in your heart, Qi Tongwei. Back in Handong University, my sister was your class monitor and bought you sneakers. You two were each other's first love."

It seems that Chen Shan knows everything.

Qi Tongwei was unsure whether the caller was Chen Shan.
