Official Career Storm -
Chapter 548
Chapter 548: Chapter 548
Song Guanchao roughly knew what was going on.
Some things, when viewed separately, reveal nothing, offer no clues.
But when linked together, they become quite clear.
Chen Guanyun had released Lu Xiaotian a day early.
He did this to disrupt Jiang Yuan’s plans.
And to buy himself time to flee.
The same was true for Yang Qingquan and his group receiving the text message and running away.
He intended to use this method to spread out Lingjiang’s police force.
Chen Guanyun remained silent; he had taken a fall today.
Truth be told, he had not expected to fall today.
In his view, although his plan was rough, the rougher the plan, the easier it was to execute.
But he never imagined that such a supposedly perfect plan would be forcibly dismantled by Song Guanchao.
"It was me who sent them."
Even as Chen Guanyun lay on the ground, he tried to maintain his last shred of dignity.
"Was it also you who let Lu Xiaotian out?"
"Yes."
"Then tell me, where have they run off to?"
Chen Guanyun laughed, "Check the cell phone yourself."
Song Guanchao found his cell phones, two of them.
He browsed through the text messages.
He saw the content of the messages that had been sent to Director Qin and Mayor Jiang.
He also saw the messages sent to Yang Qingquan and the others.
Three hours had passed since the text messages were sent.
In three hours, if driving, they would have already left the province.
If they had taken a plane, they could be out of the country.
But they wouldn’t dare to leave the country.
So, they must have gone by car.
But what difference did it make?
The people were already gone.
He stared at the text messages, frowning deeply, when suddenly, he had an idea and grabbed the cell phone, "Mr. Chen, give the phone to Mayor Jiang."
Moments later, Mayor Jiang’s voice came through, "Secretary Song."
"Mayor Jiang, did you send people to Dujiang City?"
"No." He wanted to explain that he hadn’t had the spare capacity to arrange these matters at the time.
There are always priorities in any situation, and the most urgent task at hand was the hijacked plane.
Song Guanchao breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully, thankfully.
"Mayor Jiang, send people to Dujiang City immediately, but don’t make a big scene. Have them change into plain clothes and use ordinary vehicles."
"Have them stake out near the residential areas where these people live."
Mayor Jiang asked, "Why?"
Song Guanchao replied, "From the looks of the text messages, Yang Qingquan and the others were somewhat skeptical of Chen Guanyun’s words."
The text message said that half an hour later, the city would send people to catch them.
But now, three hours had gone by, and no one had been sent yet.
If they stand pat, it’s very possible that some of them might come back.
But surely some will continue to stay outside.
They will constantly monitor the situation in Dujiang City and in Lingjiang City.
If anything seems off, they will never show their faces again in their lives.
Catching them again would then be as hard as scaling the heavens.
Mayor Jiang got his drift and said, "Alright, I’ll make the arrangements."
"Furthermore," Song Guanchao said, "I need to take Chen Guanyun and Yao Jinsheng to Qu City."
Mayor Jiang replied, "No need for that, I’ll arrange someone else for Lu Xiaotian’s case. Later, the police from Modu will bring you back. You did a great job today; come back and rest well."
Song Guanchao’s mission was complete. He was very capable, but you can’t keep pulling the wool from one person.
People need to catch their breath, right?
Guan Chao said, "Mayor Jiang, they must go to Qu City."
"If Yang Qingquan and the others think Chen Guanyun has fled, and if they find out Chen Guanyun hasn’t fled, what do you think they’ll think?"
Mayor Jiang was startled.
Guan Chao said, "They’ll think that they’ve fallen for Chen Guanyun’s trick! That he intentionally let them run so he could have an excuse to arrest them!"
"So, they must go to Qu City!"
Chen Guanyun’s eyes twitched as he listened, "I won’t cooperate."
"Smack!"
Guan Chao slapped him across the face and said, "Whether you cooperate or not isn’t for you to decide."
"Mayor Jiang, let me handle this matter for now, I’ll take them to Qu City."
"Alright!"
Mayor Jiang saw the hope of arresting Yang Qingquan and the others.
After hanging up the phone, Guan Chao dragged them by their broken legs, ignoring their wails of pain.
After getting off the plane, he tossed them onto stretchers and said to the medical staff, "Just give them basic treatment, it’s fine as long as they don’t die."
The nurse opened her mouth to speak, "This... is quite serious."
"It doesn’t matter, they’re going to be executed sooner or later; it’s fine if they’re crippled."
Chen Guanyun became furious, "Guan Chao, I am a person! I’m a citizen! I haven’t been sentenced yet, I still have the rights of a citizen, you can’t treat me like this!"
Guan Chao glanced at him with contempt and ignored him, turning to talk and coordinate with the local police who had already arrived.
The exchange went smoothly, the local police provided vehicles and drivers to escort them to Qu City.
At the same time, Mayor Jiang also reported to the provincial authorities, who would get in touch with the leadership in Qu City.
After the report, Mayor Jiang arranged for Liang Jianfeng and Xiao Chenggong to take their team to Dujiang City to monitor the residential area where Yang Qingquan and the other fleeing officials resided.
Once they returned, they were to be taken into custody immediately.
The events that occurred on the plane today had not been leaked.
All passengers on the plane had been spoken to by the police, who hoped they would cooperate and not divulge any information online.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Guan Chao sat in a business vehicle.
They were expected to arrive in Qu City by eight thirty in the evening.
He leaned back in his seat, feigning sleep.
To his left was Lin Wanqiu, with Fu Ying sitting in the co-driver’s seat.
Secretary Sun was lucky to go with them to Qu City, albeit in a different car, without the company of beautiful women but instead sharing the vehicle with Chen Guanyun and Yao Jinsheng.
Around eight o’clock, the car exited the highway, approaching the city area.
At that moment, Guan Chao’s mobile phone rang, it was a call from Secretary Sun.
"Speak."
"Chen Guanyun says Yang Qingquan and the others have guns!"
Guan Chao chuckled, "Give him the phone."
"His hands are broken."
"Isn’t yours unbroken? Don’t you know how to put the phone next to his ear?"
"..." Secretary Sun told himself not to stoop to his level.
A moment later, Chen Guanyun’s voice came through, "Guan Chao, each of them has a gun, does this count as making amends for my crimes?"
Guan Chao scoffed, "Mr. Chen, do you think I’m an idiot?"
"Who would believe such nonsense besides Secretary Sun?"
Secretary Sun: ...
Why the hell are you dragging me into this?
Chen Guanyun was silent for two seconds, "If you don’t believe me, and there are casualties later, you wait and take responsibility."
"Heh, no need for Mr. Chen to worry, you’d better think about what to write in your will."
Guan Chao hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and still decided to contact Jiang Yuan.
He didn’t believe Chen Guanyun’s nonsense.
Saying they had guns was nothing but an attempt to muddy the waters, hoping the police would shoot Yang Qingquan and the others dead during the arrest.
This man was truly sinister at heart.
But although he didn’t believe it, since the information was provided, it wouldn’t be good for him to conceal it.
He relayed Chen Guanyun’s words to Jiang Yuan without expressing his own opinion.
If something really happened, he didn’t want to be responsible.
