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

"Well, I knew that Zhao Donglai has been going to the procuratorate a lot lately." Xia Changfeng didn't know much. "He says he's handling cases, but he always has to sit in Lu Yike's office."

Gao Yuliang did not respond.

Qi Tongwei glanced at Gao Yuliang's expression. "Director Xia, if you know anyone suitable, could you introduce one to Lu Yike?"

"Yes." Gao Yuliang nodded. "I agree with that. As long as the person is good, it doesn't matter what they do."

Xia Changfeng scratched his head. "Secretary Gao, Governor Qi, I'm alright at solving cases, but matchmaking is a first for me. I can't guarantee it will work out. But I'll definitely do my best."

Gao Yuliang smiled and said, "Marriage is about fate. We can't force it."

"Then I'll ask." Xia Changfeng felt this was also an opportunity to get closer to Gao Yuliang. "I know quite a few single young men in the public security system."

Qi Tongwei added, "He has to have good character."

"That's right," Gao Yuliang immediately agreed. "The most important thing is to be honest. Don't be like some people who appear respectable on the surface but are full of ulterior motives."

"I understand." Xia Changfeng nodded. "Governor Qi, what do you think of Xiao Li from the Criminal Investigation Division? He solved a major case last year and was awarded a second-class merit."

"Don't just talk about ability, what about the person?" Qi Tongwei asked.

"I'm honest and hardworking," Xia Changfeng said. "My family's financial situation is just average; my parents are ordinary workers."

Qi Tongwei didn't think too much about it. "Farmers and workers are all one family. Aren't we all children from ordinary families?"

Reflecting on the path I came from.

Emotion.

Gao Yuliang nodded, "As long as he's a good person."

"Then I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Xia Changfeng immediately remembered it. "But Secretary Gao, you need to let Lu Yike know. Don't let me make the arrangements while she doesn't want to see me."

"I'll find an opportunity to say it," Gao Yuliang said, taking a sip of tea.

Qi Tongwei stood up, walked to the window, and said, "Changfeng, you have to keep your job at the Public Security Bureau in mind. We can't rest easy until Chen Shan is brought to justice."

"Governor Qi, rest assured." Xia Changfeng also stood up. "I will do everything in my power to capture Chen Shan."

"It wasn't an arrest," Gao Yuliang corrected, "it was persuasion to return."

Xia Changfeng was taken aback. "Persuade them to return?"

"Yes." Qi Tongwei turned around. "It would be best if we could persuade him to come back. We have no idea where Chen Shan has run off to. Minister Hao is also taking this very seriously."

Xia Changfeng clenched his fist. "Understood."

"Comrade Changfeng," Gao Yuliang stood up, "you're familiar with the work of the Public Security Bureau. But the position of the director isn't just about handling cases."

"I know." Xia Changfeng felt that he was quite suitable for the role. "I also need to coordinate with superiors and subordinates and take overall control."

"Not only that." Qi Tongwei walked over and lowered his voice, "You also need to understand the situation and assess the circumstances. I'm not asking you to charge into battle, but to be a good leader in the public security field. The winds are blowing strong in Handong right now."

Qi Tongwei patted Xia Changfeng on the shoulder, "You need to stand firm to do your job well."

Xia Changfeng's mind was racing.

What did Qi Tongwei mean by that?

Can it stand firm?

Which side should we stand on?

"Comrade Changfeng, Governor Qi made it very clear: go back and get moving as soon as possible, and do a good job." Gao Yuliang intended to let Xia Changfeng leave.

"Secretary Gao, Governor Qi, I'll head back now. Goodbye!" Xia Changfeng said goodbye and quickly left.

The door closed.

Xia Changfeng entered the elevator, his head covered in sweat.

He took out his phone and saw a missed call from Tian Guofu.

He hesitated for a few seconds, then didn't reply.

He first sent Zhang Qifa a text message: "Old Zhang, are you free? Come to my office in a bit."

After sending the message, he stepped out of the elevator.

Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei sent him here today to make empty promises.

But he has to eat this pancake.

That's too much of a pie in the sky.

This might be the only chance I'll ever have, so I absolutely can't miss it.

Who wouldn't want to be the Director of the Public Security Bureau?

But Qi Tongwei's last words made him uneasy.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Donglai was one of Sha Ruijin's men.

Lu Yike is Gao Yuliang's niece.

Zhao Donglai came to find Lu Yike.

How much of this is genuine sincerity and how much is calculation?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Donglai was no ordinary person.

Director Tangyuan.

Xia Changfeng muttered those four words and smiled.

But her smile quickly froze.

He suddenly realized that he was now standing at a crossroads.

If Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei are chosen, then Sha Ruijin cannot be followed.

do not choose.

Why did he get the position of Director of the Public Security Bureau?

Xia Changfeng opened Tian Guofu's missed call, his finger hovering over the redial button, hesitating to press it.

We cannot contact Tian Guofu right now.

Tian Guofu always uses the phrase "it is said" or "it is said," and this "it is said" is a well-known old saying.

Xia Changfeng despised people like Tian Guofu to the core.

Anyway, I'm not a dirty person, so I'm not afraid of the riches of heaven.

We'll talk about it later.

the other side.

Ma Guo.

airport.

Airport waiting hall.

Chen Shan completed the registration procedures.

Chen Shan pushed his passport and plane ticket over together, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Mr. Chen, everything is correct. Do you need to check your luggage?"

"unnecessary!"

The clerk looked up at him several times. The photo on his ID showed him looking quite presentable, but in person, he hadn't shaved, his shirt was wrinkled, and a button was missing from his collar.

He was clutching a crumpled piece of paper with an address written on it.

That was Chen Shan's home in Hong Kong.

To be precise, it was the home he thought was still there.

After leaving Handong, he did not go to see anyone.

Upon arriving at the airport, he did only one thing: buy a ticket.

The passport I got from Brother Kun really worked.

That's truly amazing.

Chen Shan felt that the money was well spent.

Li Shiya is in Hong Kong, and her daughter is also in Hong Kong.

As long as I can see them, everything else can wait.

With a new identity and overseas savings, I can live a carefree life for the rest of my days.

I called, but no one answered.

The message was sent, but there was no reply.

Chen Shan told himself that Li Shiya might be taking care of the child.

The phone died, or I went out temporarily.

When they arrived in Hong Kong, the family of three could always meet up.

He sat in the waiting area for less than ten minutes, then got up and went to buy two bottles of water.

I held the water in my hand, but didn't drink it.

After boarding the plane, Chen Shan looked at the address more than a dozen times.

The paper was soaked with sweat, and the edges were curled up.

His daughter's image kept appearing in his mind.

The little girl is almost four years old. Whenever she sees him, she rushes into his arms and calls out "Daddy."

During the last video call, she was holding a plush bear and asked him when he would be back.

He said his father would go home as soon as he finished his work.

Finished.

These two words have been delayed for far too long.

After the plane landed, Chen Shan did not stay at the airport. He dragged his luggage out of the hall and hailed a taxi.

"Driver, go to this address."

The driver took the slip of paper and quoted a price.

Chen Shan immediately took out the money, saying, "Hurry up, someone at home is waiting for me."

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Yes, I'm in a hurry."

The driver didn't ask any more questions and stepped on the gas.

The buildings outside the car window stretched out one after another, and the lettering on the GG license plate flashed by quickly.

Chen Shan leaned back in his chair, his hands resting on his knees, his fingertips tapping out a jumbled rhythm.

For some reason, I felt very panicked and sensed that something was wrong.
