In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

Lin Yaodong took a deep breath and walked towards the hotel.

Upon entering the hall and seeing the barely alive Qi Tongwei, Lin Yaodong felt a pang of emotion. Just a few hours ago, this Public Security Bureau Chief was interrogating him, and now…

Looking up at the leader of the thugs, Lin Yaodong sighed.

"You didn't actually need to come. I can't say it out loud. And now, are you here to silence me or to rescue me?"

The leader of the thugs didn't say anything, but just pulled out his gun and fired two shots at Lin Yaodong's thigh!

Lin Yaodong knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

The moment the gunshot rang out, the police could no longer remain silent.

Armed police and military snipers are in place.

Inside the hall, the leader of the thugs looked at Lin Yaodong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said quietly, "Of course we're here to kill you!"

Just as he was about to kill Lin Yaodong, more than a dozen bullets pierced through the glass and struck the remaining thug between the eyebrows.

The leader of the thugs collapsed to the ground, but perhaps by luck, his vitality remained strong. He was about to press the remote control in his hand when Lin Yaodong struggled to crawl to Qi Tongwei's side. After whispering something in Qi Tongwei's ear, he hugged Qi Tongwei tightly and moved towards the front door.

I had only climbed a few meters when there was a loud bang!

Flames erupted behind them, and the shockwave sent Lin Yaodong and Qi Tongwei flying.

At the critical moment, Lin Yaodong tightly protected Qi Tongwei, letting shrapnel and flames fly all over him.

Police rushed to the scene immediately after the explosion.

Upon seeing Lin Yaodong covered in blood and Qi Tongwei unconscious, the medical staff immediately began emergency treatment.

An hour after the explosion, Lin Yaodong, covered in charred soot, was wheeled out of Dongshan City First People's Hospital.

He had already died despite all efforts to save him, while Qi Tongwei was still undergoing emergency treatment. Blood from the blood bank had been urgently dispatched, but Qi Tongwei's condition remained very serious.

Jingzhou!

It took Chen Luo less than fifteen minutes from receiving the call to leaving home. At 4:30 a.m., the driver drove straight to Dongshan City. Other provincial party committee members also headed to Dongshan City after receiving the notification. This was a momentous event!

At 7:20 a.m., Chen Luo's car arrived at the entrance of the First People's Hospital of Dongshan City. As soon as he got out of the car, a group of members of the Standing Committee of Dongshan City came to greet him.

"Comrade Kobayashi, how's the situation?"

Chen Luo didn't waste any words and went straight to asking Zhou Xiaolin, the municipal party secretary. Zhou Xiaolin sighed and replied, "Secretary Chen, the hotel front desk is safe, but Director Qi is still being rescued. As for the drug kingpin Lin Yaodong... he died three hours ago despite all efforts to save him."

Chen Luo frowned.

"Where are the terrorists? Are any of them alive?"

Zhou Xiaolin shook his head.

"There were no survivors. There were sixteen terrorists in total. Director Qi killed ten of them by himself, and the rest were killed by snipers. Then there was an explosion..."

"I understand. Increase security throughout the city to prevent such terrorist attacks from happening again."

"Don't worry, Secretary Chen!"

As he spoke, Chen Luo arrived at the door of the emergency room. Looking at the still-lit light, Chen Luo slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Half an hour later, several more special vehicles from the Provincial Party Committee arrived at the First People's Hospital of Dongshan City.

The delegation that came down this time included Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin, Governor Liu Changsheng, and Deputy Provincial Party Secretary Gao Yuliang.

Rushing to the door of the emergency room, Sha Ruijin saw that Chen Luo had already arrived and anxiously asked him questions.

"Comrade Chen Luo, how is the situation?"

Chen Luo had just finished explaining the general situation when his phone rang. He took it out and saw that the caller was Old Xu. Chen Luo quickly answered the call.

"Old Xu!"

Upon hearing the title "Old Xu," Sha Ruijin, Governor Liu, and Gao Yuliang all remained silent.

"Hey Chen Luo, I know what happened in Handong last night. How is the Public Security Bureau Chief now? Is his life in danger?"

"Mr. Xu, Qi Tongwei is still undergoing emergency treatment, and his condition is not very optimistic."

"Yes, I understand. Some people are really lawless. They dare to attack the director of the Public Security Bureau in broad daylight."

I am furious about this matter. Minister Wang of the Ministry of Public Security has already come to Handong by special plane.

From now on, the case will be handled by the Ministry of Public Security. This case in Tazhai Village is not simple, do you understand what I mean?

"Old Xu, I will resolutely obey the organization's decision!"

"Okay, I'll hang up now. Be careful yourself."

Old Xu hung up the phone quickly, and only after Chen Luo put down his phone did Sha Ruijin cautiously ask him questions.

"Comrade Chen Luo, does Secretary Xu have any instructions?"

Chen Luo shook his head.

"Old Xu said that this case should be handed over to the Ministry of Public Security."

Minister Wang has already arrived in Handong by special plane. We in Handong should cooperate fully with Minister Wang.

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good. With Minister Wang coming to Handong, our provincial party committee will definitely cooperate!"

Two hours later, the rescue ended, and eleven of the thirteen members of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Committee arrived. Except for Lu Zheng'an and the vice governor who was on an inspection tour in a neighboring province, everyone else was present.

As soon as Qi Tongwei was wheeled out of the ward, Sha Ruijin inquired about Qi Tongwei's condition from the hospital director.

"Secretary Sha, leaders, Director Qi's condition is still not optimistic. He has been temporarily rescued, but the danger has not passed. He needs to be admitted to the intensive care unit for further observation. It is hard to say whether he will wake up..."

When Director Qi woke up, bullets had pierced both of his arm bones, and six ribs in his abdomen were broken. The explosion also damaged his internal organs, so his future is likely…”

These words silenced everyone.

"As long as Director Qi can survive, we will do everything in our power to save him!"

Sha Ruijin set the tone.

After visiting Qi Tongwei, the Standing Committee members held a meeting in Dongshan, demanding a comprehensive investigation into the origins of these terrorists and preparations for potential further attacks.

At 12:20 pm, several Coaster buses headed straight for Dongshan from Jingzhou International Airport.

At 3 p.m., downstairs at the Dongshan Municipal Party Committee building, Chen Luo and other members of the Standing Committee waited quietly. A few minutes later, several Toyota Coaster buses stopped in front of them.

The car door opened, and Sha Ruijin and Governor Liu quickly stepped forward.

"Minister Wang, hello!"

Minister Wang is actually about the same age as Governor Liu, both being 65 years old. However, one is still in his prime, while the other is nearing the end of his life.

"Hello, Comrade Ruijin!"

After shaking hands, Minister Wang looked at Governor Liu.

"Comrade Changsheng!"

"Hello, Minister Wang!"

After shaking hands again, Minister Wang looked at the members of the Standing Committee of Handong, bypassing Deputy Secretary Gao Yuliang, and walked straight to Chen Luo.

Gao Yuliang's outstretched hand looked extremely awkward, and Tian Guofu almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene.

"Comrade Chen Luo, Secretary Xu said I could ask you about the specific situation when I arrive in Handong. Now, tell me, how is Comrade Qi Tongwei doing?"

Chen Luo nodded emphatically.

"Minister Wang, the current situation is as follows..."

After Chen Luo finished speaking, Minister Wang frowned deeply.

"These people are incredibly audacious!"

If it weren't for Comrade Qi Tongwei's excellent marksmanship, who killed ten terrorists beforehand, who knows what the outcome would have been!
