Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Upon arriving at the Intermediate People's Court, Liang Sichen gave Song Yunhui a loving hug.

My man is finally back.

"Yunhui, you're back. I've left some dinner for you to eat when you get back."

Song Yunhui patted Liang Sishen's hand. "Sishen, thank you for your hard work. Actually, you didn't need to wait for me. Next time, eat first."

Liang Sichen took the man's hand, and the two walked towards the backyard.

We arrived at the backyard living room.

Song Yunhui's phone rang.

When I answered the phone, Xu Shengli's calm voice came through the receiver.

"Xiao Song, just letting you know, Group Z wants to talk to you tomorrow. Be prepared."

Song Yunhui: "Received, thank you, Lao Xu, get some rest."

There's no need to report tonight's events; Lao Xu should already know.

After hanging up the phone, Liang Sichen looked up at him. "Is it related to today's events? Going to Handong?"

I leaned on Song Yunhui's shoulder; I felt very secure with Teacher Song.

"It should be." Song Yunhui raised his hand and touched Liang Sichen's hair.

Indeed, home is the warmest harbor.

Handong, wait for me!

At the same time, thousands of miles away.

Jingzhou City, Handong Province.

Despite their efforts, Chen Hai, Lu Yike, Lin Huahua, and Zhou Zheng from the Handong Provincial Procuratorate found nothing and were unable to locate Ding Yizhen.

It's as if they've vanished into thin air.

The prosecutor's office.

Ji Changming pressed his fingertips to his brow, his face full of exhaustion, and dialed Gao Yuliang's number.

The call was connected.

Ji Changming said bluntly, "Secretary Yuliang, our procuratorate has done everything we can to find Ding Yizhen, but we can't find a trace of him. What should we do? Please help us, Provincial Party Committee."

Gao Yuliang: "Old Ji, Qi Tongwei, Li Dakang, and I are all at the Provincial Public Security Department's command center. You can come directly over here."

"Based on the trajectory analysis, Ding Yizhen's cell phone signal indicates she is moving towards Yantai City."

"Okay, Secretary Yuliang, I'll be right there." Ji Changming hung up the phone and called Chen Hai over.

Command Center of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province.

The large screen is a nine-square grid, displaying real-time monitoring of road conditions and highways in multiple areas of Handong.

Gao Yuliang sipped his tea, staring at the large screen.

Qi Tongwei stood sideways next to the large screen, with a microphone and walkie-talkie in front of him.

Li Dakang clenched his fists, looking very nervous and uneasy.

They were eagerly anticipating catching that bastard Ding Yizhen and giving him a good beating.

They were also worried that Ding Yizhen would be arrested, and that the Guangmingfeng project must not collapse.

The three had different thoughts.

Police call: "Report to Director Qi, the interception at the Yantai Expressway checkpoint has been completed. Ding Yizhen's car, driver, and Ding Yizhen's mobile phone have been seized. Ding Yizhen was not in the car."

According to the driver, Ding Yizhen got off the bus early in downtown Jingzhou.

Qi Tongwei: "Received, thank you for your hard work. A commendation to the brothers who conducted the reconnaissance."

After Ji Changming and Chen Hai came in, they stood to the side watching the little dots bobbing around.

Twenty minutes later, the airport police answered the phone.

"Report to Director Qi: The verification at Jingzhou International Airport is complete. Two hours ago, Ding Yizhen illegally left the country with a passport under the name Tom Ding and boarded a foreign airline flight to T country."

The flight has now entered the airspace of another country.

Chen Hai took a step forward and looked at Qi Tongwei. "Director Qi, could you please stop the plane or bring it back? We need to arrest the person!"

Qi Tongwei shook his head. "Director Chen, the flight has entered international airspace and is under the jurisdiction of a foreign airline."

We have no authority to enforce the law and can only wait for the flight to land. We will then rely on our department's channels to request assistance from the T country's police in making the arrest, but it's highly unlikely they will cooperate.

Cross-border law enforcement is subject to numerous restrictions.

Gao Yuliang looked up and scanned the entire room, then said in a deep voice, "Comrades, immediately establish an overseas special fugitive pursuit team, with Comrade Qi Tongwei as the team leader, to be in full charge of coordinating cross-border fugitive pursuit work."

Our provincial party committee's attitude is very clear: no matter where Ding Yizhen runs, even to the ends of the earth, we will definitely bring him back.

"Received." Qi Tongwei bowed and accepted the order.

Li Dakang's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and the weight that had been hanging over his heart was lifted.

If Ding Yizhen is arrested, investors in Jingzhou may collectively withdraw their investments, which will definitely affect Jingzhou's GDP.

Ding Yizhen's escape, ironically, saved the overall situation in Jingzhou.

Driven by selfishness, I secretly rejoiced.

Li Dakang recommended Zhao Donglai to serve as the deputy team leader, and naturally no one objected.

After finishing his work, Li Dakang didn't linger and turned to leave the command center.

Secretary Jin was waiting in the car downstairs. The car drove away from the Public Security Bureau and headed towards the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee compound.

The compound of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Zhao Donglai, director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, and Zhang Shuli, secretary of the Jingzhou Discipline Inspection Commission, were notified and waited in front of the office building.

The two stood side by side on the steps, chatting in hushed tones, their topic naturally being Ding Yizhen.

Zhang Shuli raised his hand and rubbed his palms together, then lowered his voice and said, "Director Zhao, I didn't expect Ding Yizhen to be so bold as to run away so suddenly, even paving the way for his escape in advance."

Zhao Dong looked up at the night sky and said, "Hey, with a foreign passport, he was able to leave the country smoothly with seamless flight connections. It's impossible for a mere deputy mayor to be so thorough. There must be someone powerful behind him."

"The Guangming Peak project is too deeply involved; he dares not refuse to leave. If he gets arrested, he'll probably face life imprisonment." Zhang Shuli sighed and shook his head. "Old Ding brought this upon himself; otherwise, he'd be the executive vice mayor next."

Zhao Donglai glanced at him sideways and said, "Ding Yizhen has run away, the Guangming Peak project in Jingzhou is stable, and some people can finally sleep soundly."

Ultimately, it's us who get held accountable, make the arrests, and do the work.

Zhang Shuli twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling utterly helpless: "Director Zhao, when Secretary Dakang asks us questions later, neither of us will know how to answer."

Zhang Shuli was mainly worried about being scolded by Li Dakang.

At this time.

A black Audi drove into the compound. Li Dakang got out of the car, his face stern.

It's as if someone owes him money.

Without much small talk, the man walked straight into the municipal party committee office building.

Upon arriving at the municipal party secretary's office, Li Dakang quickly walked a few steps inside and plopped down in his office chair. "Director Zhao, breaking news! Ding Yizhen has already fled to T country on an international flight. Qi Tongwei from the Provincial Public Security Department has been appointed as the leader of a cross-border fugitive pursuit team."

I recommend you to the Provincial Party Committee to serve as the deputy leader of the fugitive pursuit team, assisting Director Qi in arresting Ding Yizhen.

Zhao Donglai saluted and said, "Okay, Secretary Dakang, I will contact the provincial department shortly."

Li Dakang picked up his teacup, then put it down again.

I don't want to drink anymore.

Turning to Zhang Shuli beside him, he asked, "Zhang Shuli, as the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jingzhou City, how did you implement daily supervision after Ding Yizhen's escape?"

He launched an accountability campaign, his presence commanding.

Li Dakang decided to simply pass the buck.

The fault always lies with others, and has nothing to do with me.

Zhang Shuli gave a wry smile, his face showing helplessness. He spread his hands and said, "Secretary Dakang, Ding Yizhen and I are both at the department level. Without the approval of the provincial party committee, I am not qualified to investigate Ding Yizhen."

That's just how the system and rules work.

Li Dakang's brow furrowed: "Can't we have regular supervision among those at the same level?"

Zhang Shuli looked up, feeling aggrieved. "Secretary Dakang, three months ago, I received a report from the public saying that Ding Yizhen's son had improperly accepted gifts from business owners at his wedding. I applied for an investigation, but..."

Li Dakang frowned and said, "Comrade Shuli, I have never received this report."

We must shift the blame, whether it exists or not, we must not admit it now.

Li Dakang, a master of shifting blame, is absolutely skilled at it.
