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

Xia Changfeng was trying to stall for time. "Whether I can do it or not is not up to you. Give me your address, and I'll have someone contact you right away."

"Arrest Du Bozhong. Once Du Bozhong is arrested and sentenced, I will turn myself in. I want Du Bozhong to rot in jail." That was indeed what Chen Shan was thinking.

However, one must never lose one's freedom.

"Give me your seat first."

"Changfeng, arrest Du Bozhong."

"Chen Shan!"

The phone hangs up.

Xia Changfeng called out twice more.

When I called back, the phone was already switched off.

He put his phone on the table, got up, and left the office.

Someone walked by outside the office, paused for a moment, and then walked away.

Xia Changfeng returned to his office and used the landline to call Qi Tongwei.

"Governor Qi, this is Xia Changfeng from the Public Security Bureau."

"Changfeng, what's up?" Qi Tongwei asked. "Is there any news?"

"Qi Province, Chen Shan called me."

The sound of files being flipped through came from Qi Tongwei's end. "What did he say?"

Qi Tongwei did not expect Chen Shan to call his former subordinate.

"Chen Shan reported Du Bozhong." Xia Changfeng repeated what Chen Shan had said.

"Where is he exactly now?"

"I asked, but Chen Shan wouldn't say anything. He just told us to arrest Du Bozhong, and wouldn't say anything else."

Qi Tongwei put away the documents, stood up, and said, "From now on, your phone must be on 24 hours a day."

"Okay, Governor Qi," Xia Changfeng said, standing by the window and looking at the cars below. "Chen Shan may have realized he's being watched. His call sounded like a plea for help, but also like a test."

The two chatted for a while longer.

Qi Tongwei wanted to tell Governor Liu that Liu Changsheng was not in his office.

Calls to Liu Changsheng's mobile phone are temporarily unavailable.

Qi Tongwei instructed Cai Xiaofei to drive to the provincial party committee compound.

Holding the phone, I walked to the door of Gao Yuliang's office.

I've already made an appointment with Gao Yuliang by phone.

Secretary He stood at the door and welcomed Qi Tongwei inside.

Secretary He poured the tea and then left.

Qi Tongwei finally spoke, "Teacher, Chen Shan called Xia Changfeng."

Gao Yuliang was a little excited. "What did they say?"

Qi Tongwei relayed the story in detail.

at this time.

Qi Tongwei's phone rang, and Xia Changfeng forwarded the recording file to him.

Qi Tongwei handed over the phone. "Teacher, this is a recording."

After listening to the recording, Gao Yuliang paused it. "This call shouldn't be taken as just a report."

Qi Tongwei asked, "What does the teacher mean?"

"I think Chen Shan is scared; perhaps he has no way out."

Qi Tongwei nodded. "Yes, perhaps Du Bozhong and Chen Shan have broken ties. Chen Shan, without his police uniform, might not be as effective as one of Du Bozhong's bodyguards."

Gao Yuliang nodded: "It's possible that Chen Shan is afraid of Du Bozhong, and also afraid that people in China will arrest him."

Gao Yuliang got up and walked to the window. "If Chen Shan really knows about Du Bozhong, Du Bozhong wouldn't let him leave Hong Kong alive. But the fact that he didn't reveal his location shows that he doesn't trust us."

What should we do?

"Then let's contact the military region first." Qi Tongwei immediately found the phone number of Zhao Guoqiang, the political commissar of the Handong Military Region.

Zhao Guoqiang answered quickly, "Tongwei, what's up?"

Qi Tongwei said directly, "Guoqiang, there's something I need your help with."

"Go ahead," Zhao Guoqiang nodded. "Anything we can do, we'll do immediately!"

"Chen Shan has fled to Hong Kong. His current situation is unclear. Please use your connections in Hong Kong to find out Chen Shan's whereabouts. My goal is to bring him back."

Zhao Guoqiang didn't press for details about the case. "You want him alive?"

"Alive!" Qi Tongwei replied.

"Understood." Zhao Guoqiang replied without hesitation, "I'll contact them immediately. Await my message."

Public Security Bureau.

command center.

Xia Changfeng stood by the phone, took out Chen Shan's call log, and listened to it over and over again.

The technician asked, "Xia Ting, do you need a location?"

"Has it already been arranged?"

"We are checking. The number is a new SIM card, the call duration was short, and the location can only be narrowed down to a small area."

Xia Changfeng nodded. "Continue the investigation."

"Also, I just received news that Du Bozhong has several properties in Hong Kong. He doesn't own many properties, but he has quite a few people under his command."

Xia Changfeng looked up. "Who gave you the information?"

"It was sent from the provincial department's internal network; the source is unknown."

Xia Changfeng stared at the words for a long time without saying a word.

An unknown source is often more troublesome than a clearly identified source.

He redialed Chen Shan's number.

Shut down.

I dialed again, but the phone was still off.

"Chen Shan, where did you go?"

No one answered.

Streets of Hong Kong.

Chen Shan hailed a taxi.

"Master, to the dock."

The driver, seeing him dragging his luggage, asked, "Where are you going to catch the boat?"

"Any dock."

"casual?"

"As long as I can get out of here, that's all that matters."

The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror. "Hey buddy, are you in trouble?"

Chen Shan did not answer.

He took out the SIM card, broke it in two, and threw it out the car window.

The taxi drove into the traffic.

Five minutes later, Chen Shan looked back.

A black sedan followed behind.

I saw two people sitting in the car.

The taxi turned, and the unlicensed taxi followed suit.

"Master, change course and go to a more crowded area."

The driver asked, "Aren't you going to the pier?"

"I'll pass for now."

The black sedan followed the taxi into the old town.

The phone rang in the car.

Du Bozhong answered the phone, "Where is he?"

"I just came out of the villa area and took a taxi north."

Don't follow too closely.

"Brother Du, should we stop them?"

"Why stop him? Chen Shan still has something in his hands. If you push him too far, he'll say something inappropriate." Du Bozhong was worried that these two guys wouldn't be able to stop Chen Shan.

The henchman in the car asked, "What should we do then?"

Du Bozhong smiled and said, "Report his whereabouts over there. Tell them that Chen Shan has evidence and a list."

"Does he really have a list?"

Du Bozhong wanted to curse, "Are you stupid? Whether it's true or not doesn't matter, what matters is that someone will believe it."

The phone hangs up.

Du Bozhong reached out and touched the child's head.

Li Shiya lowered her head, her fingers twirling back and forth on the hem of her skirt. "Brother Du, Chen Shan isn't the kind of person who would give up easily."

Du Bozhong told the nanny to take his daughter away, "He's in a precarious situation himself."

Will he call the police?

"Call the police?"

Du Bozhong laughed, "Does he dare to tell us everything? It'll take at least 15 years!"

Li Shiya shook her head. "No, Chen Shan needs freedom. There's absolutely no way he'd give it up."

Handong Province.

Jingzhou.

Qi Tongwei received a call from He Jiahong, "Brother Tongwei, we've basically figured out Du Bozhong's addresses in Hong Kong. However, Du Bozhong rarely stays in one place; he often has multiple burrows."

Based on the current evidence, it is not enough to punish Du Bozhong or arrest him.

What should I do?

Qi Tongwei thought to himself, "Since the wind has picked up, let's make Du Bozhong go bankrupt!"
