Chapter 450: Chapter 450

Zhou Qian arrived, accompanied by a cameraman.

Upon seeing this famous host in Lingjiang’s media circle, everyone present fell silent.

They realized that Song Guanchao wasn’t just aiming to spread the word, but to spread it far and wide.

He was about to make headlines!

"Let’s begin."

As soon as Song Guanchao spoke, the cameraman immediately started the portable camera, and Zhou Qian followed by Song Guanchao’s side, interviewing him in a questioning manner.

Song Guanchao was methodically arranging things for everyone, while taking the time to answer her questions.

"Secretary Song, what do you plan to do at this stage?"

"Arrest people!" Song Guanchao said, "Hou Wen disappeared at Fucheng International Airport, and I suspect he has fled. I will first contact the Fucheng Public Security Bureau to initiate cross-city law enforcement cooperation."

"In addition, I have already made contact with Comrade Zhang Meilin, the Dujiang City Secretary, and soon, the Lingjiang City Public Security Bureau will join forces with the Dujiang City Public Security Bureau to go to Tianhai City and apprehend the heads of the companies suspected of defrauding government funds."

Zhou Qian asked, "It is said that the funds transferred amount to a total of 7 billion. Is this money still in the country?"

Song Guanchao shook his head, "We’re not sure at the moment; we need to detain the individuals first to determine the exact whereabouts of these government funds."

He picked up his phone and called Liang Jianfeng, "Director Liang, this is Song Guanchao."

"An emergency investigation team has been organized by the city, and I am the team leader, responsible for the overall command. Director Qin should have informed Director Liang, right?"

"He did."

"Good, then I now request that Director Liang immediately dispatch personnel to Fucheng Airport. I’ll get in touch with Fucheng Public Security Bureau."

"Additionally, allocate a group to head to Tianhai City; I’ll send you the address shortly. Secretary Zhang Meilin will also contact you later; he will coordinate people from Dujiang City Public Security Bureau to join you in the capture."

After giving his instructions, he immediately looked up the number provided by Director Qin.

It was the number of Director Chu Deqing from the Fucheng Public Security Bureau.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hello, Director Chu, this is Song Guanchao, secretary to Wu Qiangwei, the full-time Deputy Secretary of the Lingjiang Municipal Committee."

This long introduction took Chu Deqing a couple of seconds to process.

"Oh, hello, Secretary Song. What’s the matter?"

"There is." Song Guanchao said, "Dujiang City Mayor, acting as City Secretary Hou Wen, has disappeared at Fucheng International Airport, and I now suspect that he has fled abroad by plane. I hope Director Chu can immediately contact airport police and communicate with airlines to check Hou Wen’s specific flight information!"

"Mayor Hou fleeing?" Chu Deqing was shocked for a moment.

How could this happen so suddenly?

He realized the seriousness of the situation, and his first reaction was not to get involved.

This was Lingjiang’s issue, not related to Fucheng.

Moreover, from the description by Secretary Song, it seemed like Hou Wen’s plane had already taken off.

If it has taken off, how could they still catch him?

It seemed like a thankless job.

He did not immediately respond, but rather thought about what excuse to make.

Song Guanchao knew what he was thinking.

He didn’t have time to beat around the bush with Director Chu; it had been nearly an hour since Hou Wen’s disappearance.

He believed Hou Wen wouldn’t have left the airport, but instead took another flight.

Minus the registration and take-off time, it would have been at least twenty to thirty minutes since the plane departed.

What he needed to confirm now was the exact flight Hou Wen was on.

His destination, which country!

Although his main purpose was the money, he wanted to handle things even more perfectly.

If he could catch both the man and the money, that would be a truly perfect ending!

"Director Chu, I won’t make it difficult for you; just help me contact the airline company, and Lingjiang will take care of the rest."

"Well, Secretary Song, that is quite the outsider talk. It’s not that I won’t help, it’s just that our police force is limited and Fucheng Airport is in the suburbs; by the time we get there, the plane would probably have landed."

"Hmm, understood, then can Director Chu manage to contact the airline company?

"That’s no problem."

"Then I’ll wait for Director Chu’s text message."

Less than two minutes later, the text arrived; it was the number of a senior executive at the airline, surnamed Ren.

"Hello, Mr. Ren, this is Song Guanchao, secretary to City Secretary Wu Shu of Lingjiang."

"Secretary Song, hello. Director Chu has briefed me. I’ve had the staff check Hou Wen’s ticket information and surveillance footage."

"Great, then please don’t hang up yet, Mr. Ren; I’m waiting on this end."

"No problem."

After about five minutes, Mr. Ren’s voice came through: "Secretary Song, according to our search, Hou Wen has only booked a ticket for eleven thirteen to Lingjiang International Airport."

Song Guanchao had anticipated this, Hou Wen couldn’t possibly use a domestic ID card and passport to purchase tickets for an international flight.

He must have a green card from another country.

Song Guanchao asked, "What about the surveillance? Have you found anything?"

"We are still looking, it’s going to take more time."

"How much longer do you think it will take?"

"It’s hard to say, the airport is too big."

Song Guanchao said, "Can the airport’s search system find ticket information directly through a photo?"

"No, it cannot."

"Alright, then I’ll wait for Mr. Ren to notify me after the surveillance is found."

After hanging up the phone, Song Guanchao pinched the bridge of his nose.

No one else dared to disturb him.

A few seconds later, Song Guanchao suddenly thought of something; he turned to Wang Shujing, who was sitting in the corner, "Director Wang, does Hou Wen have an English name?"

Wang Shujing was startled by the question, "An English name? I, I don’t know."

Useless idiot!

Wait a minute...

Song Guanchao suddenly thought of someone who might know.

Just then, Wu Yun said, "Secretary Song, the person Secretary Wang arranged has arrived. What do we do now?"

"Arrived?" Song Guanchao said, "You go to the hotel, book a room."

"Ah?" Wu Yun gaped, her face turning a bit red.

Song Guanchao’s mouth twitched. What was she thinking!

Did she really think I want to book a room with her right now?

"Go to the guest house and book an entire floor of rooms, in the name of the City Committee."

"Take all the people from the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee with you, set up cameras in every room, and as soon as the police colleagues bring the suspects over, start the interrogation!"

"Oh, oh, I see." Wu Yun realized she had misunderstood, and with her face still red, she went out to handle the task.

Just as she pushed open the door, Wu Yun saw Secretary Sun standing outside, ear pressed against the conference room door.

"Secretary Sun, what are you doing here?"

Her voice caught Song Guanchao’s attention, and seeing Secretary Sun, he immediately understood the man had been eavesdropping.

Song Guanchao asked coldly, "Secretary Sun, is there something you need?"

"No, I was just passing by." Secretary Sun quickly left after speaking.

Song Guanchao didn’t give it another thought and turned to Xu Xin, "Director Xu, Director Liu, you both come too, responsible for coordinating the handover between the police and the Disciplinary Committee."

"Alright."

"Mayor Liang, you take Director Wang to the Dujiang City Finance Bureau to collect evidence."

"Alright."

For Xu Xin, Liu Jie, and Liang Hao, it was like they were just making up the numbers.

Their presence or absence wouldn’t make a difference.

Song Guanchao was simply taking care of his own by pulling them in.

After the three of them left, Song Guanchao looked at Su Zhengwei, "Minister Su, you can go back first. There’s nothing here that requires your help at the moment."

Su Zhengwei nodded and left as well.

In the conference room, only Song Guanchao, Zhou Qian, and the cameraman were left.

Song Guanchao gave a signal, and Zhou Qian immediately told the cameraman to stop recording.

He dialed Lu Feng’s number, "Madman, ask Wang Meihua what Hou Wen’s English name is. Call me back when you find out."

Wang Meihua, Hou Wen’s distant cousin and mistress.

There were things Hou Wen could keep from others, but not from the person he shared his bed with.

Even the most careful people slip up sometimes.
