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

Zhang Qi nodded. "Thank you, Secretary Sun. But the terrain is complex tonight, making the search and rescue very difficult. We can't send too many people down with the search and rescue team, mainly to prevent secondary accidents."

Sun Jianping turned to look at Ma Wenbin and said, "Old Ma, make the arrangements."

Ma Wenbin immediately took out his walkie-talkie and began making arrangements.

A short while later, more than thirty police officers in uniforms ran over with flashlights, ropes, and torches.

The search and rescue team split into two groups, each carrying a torch, and quickly dispersed from both sides.

Lin Huahua and Chen Qunfang also wanted to go along.

Zhang Qi turned around and glanced at Lin Huahua and Chen Qunfang.

"You two women don't need to go down. Go back to Jingzhou and get some rest."

Lin Huahua paused for a moment, then said, "Director Zhang, perhaps we should stay."

Zhang Qi shook his head. "The terrain is too complicated. You won't be of much help if you stay here. Or you can stay in the car. Be careful."

The search and rescue team continued to advance, but at a snail's pace.

There was no other way; the mountain roads were difficult to travel.

Hou Liangping followed behind Zhang Qi, his mind in turmoil.

After all this trouble, Chen Shan just disappeared like that?

That overseas number can be turned off at will, and calling back only brings up a "phone off" message.

Everything seemed to be deliberately arranged.

Someone deliberately lured Hou Liangping onto the mountain road and then caused the car accident.

That big truck, in the opposite lane, had its headlights blinding.

What a coincidence!

It was so coincidental it didn't seem like a car accident, it seemed like a murder.

Hou Liangping's mind raced, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

But without evidence, mere speculation is useless.

The phone rang.

Hou Liangping glanced at it; it was Tian Guofu.

"Secretary Tian."

"Liangping, how's the situation? Have they caught Chen Shan?"

"Found a bird!" Hou Liangping was silent for two seconds.

"What bird?" Tian Guofu was dumbfounded.

Hou Liangping felt extremely overwhelmed. "Secretary Tian, ​​Chen Shan drove his car off a cliff."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Hou Liangping, what did you say?"

"On the mountain road, a large truck came from the opposite direction. Chen Shan lost control while trying to avoid it and plunged off the cliff."

Tian Guofu's voice turned serious, "What about the search and rescue? You need to save them quickly!"

Damn it, the surprise turned into a shock.

"Director Zhang is directing the search and rescue operation on site, and the public security bureau from Bin County has also arrived. They are making every effort to organize the search and rescue."

"Save them as soon as possible!" Tian Guofu wished he could fly there. "Liangping, at all costs!"

"Understood." Hou Liangping quickened his pace.

Humans are truly insignificant in the face of nature.

Hou Liangping put his phone back in his pocket and looked up at the night sky.

The moon was obscured by clouds, and there were only a few stars.

The night was so dark it sent chills down my spine.

the other side.

The No. 4 compound of the Provincial Party Committee.

Tian Guofu sat on the sofa in his pajamas, holding his phone, his brows furrowed.

The lights in Sha Ruijin's house were still on.

Tian Guofu dialed the number.

"Secretary Sha, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

Sha Ruijin was a little angry. "Guofu, you're still awake?"

Tian Guofu stated bluntly, "Secretary Sha, Chen Shan's car plunged off a cliff in Bin County, and he is missing."

There was a pause of several seconds on the other end of the phone.

Sha Ruijin's voice turned serious. "When did this happen?"

"Just now, Hou Liangping was on the scene, as was Zhang Qi from the Public Security Bureau. The search and rescue operation is underway."

"I understand." Sha Ruijin paused for a moment. "Guofu, come with me to Laifu Nursing Home."

They were worried that their adoptive father, Chen Yanshi, might do something rash.

Tian Guofu was taken aback. "Now?"

"Yes! Now." Sha Ruijin felt that there were just too many things to do these past few days.

Tian Guofu got dressed and left the No. 4 compound of the Provincial Party Committee.

Sha Ruijin stood outside the gate of the No. 1 compound of the Provincial Party Committee.

Soon after, Sha Ruijin's car arrived.

Secretary Bai was driving.

The two hurriedly got into the car.

On the way, Sha Ruijin kept urging, "Xiao Bai, faster, faster!"

Soon, the Fuxing Nursing Home will be there.

I knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Chen Yanshi stood in the doorway in his pajamas, followed by Wang Fuzhen, who was wearing a coat.

"Little Jin, it's so late at night... Chen Shan really isn't at the nursing home."

"Uncle Chen, I'm not here to see Chen Shan this time." Sha Ruijin entered the room with a serious expression. "Uncle Chen, there's something I need to tell you."

Wang Fuzhen's face turned pale instantly.

Chen Yanshi steadied himself against the doorframe, staring at Sha Ruijin. "Speak."

Secretary Bai was holding a bottle of quick-acting heart medicine.

After Sha Ruijin led Chen Yanshi into the living room, he said, "Uncle Chen, Aunt Wang, you must hold on."

Chen Shan's car was involved in an accident in Bin County; it plunged off a cliff, and his fate is currently unknown... Search and rescue efforts are ongoing.

Wang Fuzhen burst into tears and fell backward.

Tian Guofu helped her up and made her sit on the sofa.

Chen Yanshi scratched his head, trembling all over, "My son!"

Then, Chen Mo fell silent, not uttering a single word.

Wang Fuzhen cried so hard she couldn't speak, grabbing Chen Yanshi's arm and shaking it violently.

"Old man, say something! Say something, please..."

Chen Yanshi's lips trembled, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as if they had been carved by a knife.

"Secretary Sha, please save Chen Shan... Search and rescue... How's the search and rescue going?"

Sha Ruijin squatted down and grasped Chen Yanshi's hand. "Uncle Chen, the provincial department and Bin County are conducting a full-scale search and rescue operation. My instructions are to spare no effort."

"Ruijin, thank you. No matter what mistakes Chen Shan made, he is still a child of the Chen family."

Chen Yanshi nodded vigorously, tears streaming down his face.

Wang Fuzhen cried even harder, sobbing and calling out, "My son, my son..."

Tian Guofu stood to the side, unsure of what to say, and could only rub his hands together.

Sha Ruijin stood up. "Uncle Chen, Guofu and I are going to Bin County in a moment."

Chen Yanshi stood up, his legs a little weak, and held onto the sofa armrest. "Xiao Jinzi, I'm going too."

Sha Ruijin glanced at Tian Guofu and nodded. "Okay, please change your clothes. We'll go together later."

the other side.

In Chen Hai's hospital room.

Chen Hai's phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was Tian Guofu calling.

"Secretary Tian?"

"Chen Hai, prepare yourself for something. Your brother Chen Shan was in a car accident..."

Chen Hai almost dropped his phone.

He froze for about five seconds, then jumped off the hospital bed. "What did you say?!"

Tian Guofu repeated, "That's the situation. The Provincial Party Committee is taking it very seriously, and the search and rescue operation is underway. Take care of yourself."

"Thank you, Secretary Tian." Chen Hai hung up the phone.

He pulled out his contacts and dialed Chen Yang's number.

It rang five or six times before they answered.

Chen Yang, still half asleep, murmured, "Hai Zi?"

"Sister, my brother Chen Shan has been in an accident. His car plunged off a cliff on the mountain road in Bin County. They're searching for him. You need to go back to Jingzhou immediately and head to Bin County!"

There was a three-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Chen Yang's voice changed, "Hai Zi, how could this happen? I'll buy tickets now, the fastest way."

Chen Yang hung up the phone, glanced at his phone, and dialed Qi Tongwei's number.

It rang for a long time before Qi Tongwei finally answered.

"Tongwei, this is Chen Yang."

"I know."

"Something happened at Chenshan. On the mountain road in Bin County, the car plunged off a cliff." Chen Yang wanted to cry, but he didn't.

"I know." Qi Tongwei's voice was devoid of emotion.

Chen Yang pleaded, "Tongwei, you are the executive vice governor. No matter what mistakes Chen Shan has made, I hope you can help our Chen family and save Chen Shan."
