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

Chen Yang's voice on the other end of the phone was hoarse and trembling with tears.

She felt that no matter what mistakes Chen Shan had made, they did not warrant death.

Qi Tongwei leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said, "Okay."

Chen Yang was once her ideal woman, and also Qi Tongwei's first love.

It's said that the "white moonlight" (idealized romantic partner) has a powerful effect.

However, Qi Tongwei felt nothing at this moment.

His thoughts were actually on his wife, Pei Xiaotong.

I promised to have dinner and sleep with her that night, but unfortunately, I can't go back.

Even though I sent Pei Xiaotong a message, I still miss her a little.

"Please, help the Chen family."

Qi Tongwei paused for three seconds, then said, "Comrade Chen Yang, our Handong Public Security Bureau is already conducting a search and rescue operation. We will do our best."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei opened his eyes.

Chen Shan's fate is currently unknown; we don't even know if he's alive or dead.

What if the person in the car isn't Chen Shan at all?

Even if it's Chen Shan's car.

However, it's not impossible that Chen Shan lent his car to someone else.

Perhaps it wasn't Chen Shan driving, but someone else entirely. Who was actually driving?

Gao Yuliang smoked a cigarette without saying a word.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Jinzi is Chen Yanshi's adopted son, Gao Yuliang might have gone to Laifu Nursing Home right now to check on Chen Yanshi.

Qi Tongwei sat up abruptly, picked up his phone, and dialed Cheng Du's number.

"Chengdu, what's the situation at the accident scene now?"

Cheng Du sat in the car, rushing towards the provincial party committee compound. "Governor Qi, the search and rescue team is still searching down the mountain. It's too dark, and the progress is very slow."

Qi Tongwei wanted to know the details: "Was there surveillance footage at the accident scene? Were there any witnesses?"

Cheng Du shook his head. "Province Qi, there are no surveillance cameras on that mountain road. The nearest camera is at the intersection three kilometers away, and besides..."

"And what?" Qi Tongwei asked.

Cheng Du felt really overwhelmed. "The camera at that intersection is broken. I reported it for repair last week, but it hasn't been replaced yet."

Qi Tongwei frowned deeply.

Unfortunately, there were no surveillance cameras at the location where the accident occurred, and the cameras were also broken.

This is such a coincidence.

"How's the investigation going with the truck driver?"

With a glance, Cheng Du signaled the driver to speed up. "The truck has been found. The driver said a car suddenly rushed out from the opposite lane, and when he swerved to avoid it, the other car plunged off the cliff. The driver has been apprehended and is currently giving a statement."

Qi Tongwei stood up. "Have you checked the driver's background?"

"We checked, he's a local, a long-haul freight driver, no criminal record, and no cancer detected so far." Cheng Du's considerations were indeed very comprehensive. "I'll go to the provincial party committee immediately."

If the driver has cancer, then there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

"Okay, Chengdu, drive carefully." Qi Tongwei hung up the phone, stood up, and walked to the window.

The night was deep, and the streetlights emitted a dim yellow light.

Something eerie was about it.

The overseas number is no longer reachable, and when I try to call back, the phone is switched off.

Chen Shan drove his car off a cliff, and coincidentally, it happened to be on a section of road without surveillance cameras.

The truck driver had a clean background and his testimony was impeccable.

Qi Tongwei is not Hou Liangping; he wouldn't easily believe in coincidences.

What the world has no shortage of is meticulously planned coincidences.

Once the required level was reached, driver Liu Lei started the car.

Cheng Du sat in the passenger seat.

Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei listened to Cheng Du's analysis.

We arrived at the section of road where the accident occurred.

Lin Huahua and Chen Qunfang gave a general account of the situation.

Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

"I'm starting to doubt whether the person sitting in the car is actually Chen Shan."

Lin Huahua was taken aback. "Governor Qi, Hou Liangping was chasing Chen Hai's car. The license plate number matches, and..."

Lin Huahua hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"And what?" Qi Tongwei flicked his cigarette ash. "Who could drive Chen Hai's car? Chen Shan could drive it, and so could anyone else. How can you be sure that the person driving was Chen Shan?"

We need to find the right person first.

Chen Qunfang opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Gao Yuliang adjusted his glasses. "Qi Sheng is right. It's too early to draw conclusions now."

"There's another problem," Qi Tongwei continued. "That overseas number is unreachable, and when you call back, it's switched off. What does that mean? It means someone used that number to lure Hou Liangping onto the mountain road and then caused this car accident. Then that person disappeared, and their phone is switched off."

Lin Huahua's face darkened. "Governor Qi, are you saying this was a deliberate act?"

It's terrifying to think about.

If she ends up in the same car as Hou Liangping, she might end up like Barbie Q.

"I didn't say that." Qi Tongwei stubbed out his cigarette. "I just feel there are too many coincidences. Too many coincidences, and they're no longer coincidences."

The group remained silent for a few seconds.

the other side.

Four Nine Cities.

Chen Yang stood by the window, his phone screen displaying the 12306 website.

There are no flights to Jingzhou at this time tonight.

The high-speed rail will be shut down soon too.

As a second choice, I opted for a T-series train and bought a sleeper ticket.

She haphazardly stuffed a few clothes into her suitcase, grabbed her bag, and ran out.

The wind made her shiver as she stepped outside.

The streets were deserted, with only the occasional taxi passing by.

Chen Yang flagged down a taxi and headed straight for the train station.

The driver, a talkative middle-aged man, glanced at her in the rearview mirror.

"Young lady, are you rushing to catch the train so late?"

"Yes, there's an emergency at home."

"It's urgent, we need to hurry."

Chen Yang wasn't in the mood for chatting, so he took out his phone and called Chen Hai.

It rang for a long time before they finally answered.

"sister?"

"Hai Zi, where are you?"

"I was at the entrance of Laifu Nursing Home when Zhou Zheng drove me here. Secretary Sha and Secretary Tian have also arrived. We're heading to Bin County right away."

Chen Yang's heart tightened. "Where are our parents?"

Although he hated his father, Old Stone, now that Chen Shan was in trouble, he could put everything else aside for the time being.

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

"Mom isn't feeling well, but she still insists on going," Chen Hai said helplessly.

Chen Yang felt a lump in his throat, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.

Tell Mom I bought a train ticket and I'll be in Jingzhou tomorrow morning. Tell her to take care of herself.

"I know, sis, be careful on the road."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

What will happen?

She dared not think.

At the entrance of Laifu Nursing Home.

Sha Ruijin's car was parked on the side of the road, and Tian Guofu's car followed behind.

Chen Yanshi stood next to Wang Fuzhen.

Wang Fuzhen was wearing a coat, her face was pale, and her eyes were red and swollen.

Sha Ruijin walked over quickly, took Chen Yanshi's hand, and said, "Uncle Chen, it's chilly outside, let's go back inside."

Chen Yanshi shook his head, his voice hoarse.

"Little Jinzi, I want to go to Bin County."

"Uncle Chen, you're getting old and your health can't keep up. Don't worry, Chen Hai, Guo Fu, and I will all go."

"No." Chen Yanshi's tone left no room for argument. "Chen Shan is my son, and I want to see him with my own eyes."

Chen Yanshi wanted to see his son off on his final journey.

Tian Guofu, standing nearby, was anxiously wringing his hands. "Old Chen, you're getting on in years, this is so late..."

"Guofu, don't try to persuade me. Back then, I carried explosives and fought the Japanese." Chen Yanshi turned to look at Wang Fuzhen. "Old Wang, you stay home."

Upon hearing this, Tian Guofu immediately fell silent.
