Chapter 616: Chapter 616

Song Guanchao was about to capture her lips when he suddenly stopped.

Wu Yun’s eyes were half-closed, and love flowed from them as thick as honey.

After a long while without receiving Song Guanchao’s kiss, she felt a bit embarrassed. Just as she was about to speak, she saw him staring intently behind her.

Wu Yun couldn’t help but shiver, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Just as she was about to look back, footsteps crunching on dry branches and leaves came from behind her.

The person behind seemed to deliberately make such noises to alert her.

Wu Yun immediately panicked like a little bunny, hurriedly got up from Song Guanchao, and pulled up her underwear.

When she turned around, she saw Zhou Qian walking towards them.

A blush had spread across her face and neck.

Had she seen everything just now?

She must have.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a loud noise on purpose.

How embarrassing!

Wu Yun quickly grabbed her clothes and put them on swiftly. Song Guanchao pretended as if nothing had happened, stuffing "Xiao Song" back and getting dressed.

Seeing the two of them separate, Zhou Qian finally hurried over and whispered, "I just saw someone."

Zhou Qian suddenly looked up and immediately turned towards Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao had already put on his clothes. Upon hearing this, he casually picked up a stick and asked, "How many people were there?"

"Just one."

"What were they wearing? Were they dirty?"

"Very dirty, looked like they had just rolled in the mud."

"Did they have a weapon?"

"I didn’t see any."

Song Guanchao now had a good idea.

The man who suddenly appeared was most likely from Huangni Village.

He hadn’t expected that the other party would coincidentally head in the same direction as him.

That was his fault, he had slept too long.

The other party had definitely taken this opportunity to close the distance.

He calculated the time from the car accident up to now; it had been three days.

In three days, for the other party to catch up was no small feat.

It’s not that they had the same military training as he did.

The other is a villager, for whom walking into the mountains is as easy as drinking water.

If you put a villager and a veteran in the mountain, the one likely to survive is the villager.

This is the advantage of experience.

He was now uncertain how many people were with the other party, nor was he sure if they had guns.

If there was only one person, even if they had a gun, he was confident he could take them down.

But, he couldn’t risk it.

In case there was more than one person, the cost of losing that bet would be getting surrounded by a group.

"Let’s go."

...

Half an hour later, Li Yougui arrived at the spot.

He stared at the place where Song Guanchao and the others had rested.

The traces were very clear.

He didn’t approach immediately, instead, he pulled a pistol from his waist and took out his mobile phone with his left hand. After walking a distance in the vicinity, he found a spot with weak signal and dialed Li Zhu’s number.

"Hello."

"Zhuzi."

"I’ve found them."

He lowered his voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings continuously, fearful that Song Guanchao might suddenly appear.

...

An County, Police Department.

In the interrogation room, Li Zhuang was mentally exhausted; he had barely slept these past two days.

Director Liu had arranged for people to interrogate him every few hours, just to keep him from resting.

Although he couldn’t sleep well, his mood was quite good.

The more the police treated him this way, the more it suggested that they hadn’t found Song Guanchao yet.

This was good news.

Moreover, since last night, the frequency of interrogations had significantly increased.

This indicates they were desperate.

"Li Zhuang, don’t make such a futile resistance, make the call!"

Director Liu tossed him the mobile phone.

Li Zhuang pretended not to understand, "Director Liu, who should I call?"

"Call those people in your village and tell them to get back here!"

"I’m telling you, there is no wall that is completely impenetrable; your plan has long been seen through by Director Liang of the Municipal Bureau."

"I can make it clear to you; both the Municipal Bureau’s SWAT and the Armed Police have been deployed. Do you think you can kill Secretary Song without anyone noticing?"

"If you pull yourself back from the brink now, the organization might deal with you more leniently."

"If you don’t repent and continue down this path of no return, no one will be able to save you!"

Li Zhuang said emotionally, "Director Liu, like I said, I have no idea what you are talking about! What does ’kill Secretary Song’ mean? I have no grudges against him. Why would I want to kill him? This is a frame-up, an accusation!"

"I want to report you for abuse of power, for framing me and pinning a baseless charge on me!"

"..." Director Liu really wanted to slap him across the face, but there were surveillance cameras here.

Moreover, Captain Shi of the Municipal Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Team, who had just taken office, was watching in the office.

"Fine, keep being obstinate."

Director Liu rose to his feet and left, leaving the mobile phone behind.

He went into the office, "Captain Shi, this Li Zhuang isn’t admitting to the crime."

Captain Shi hummed in acknowledgment, "That’s troublesome for you, Director Liu."

Then he called Liang Jianfeng to report the situation here; Liang Jianfeng merely said, "Got it."

Liang Jianfeng had no hope for Li Zhuang; someone who could take such decisive action wouldn’t consider abandoning halfway.

Liang Jianfeng had been at the accident site for two days in a row, looking dirty and disheveled.

Wu Xinan sat on the ground, watching the screen in his hands which displayed the SWAT team’s deep forest search through a drone.

It was already the third day, and still there was no news.

"Old Wu, don’t overthink it. No news right now is the best news."

"Mhm."

"Plus, the person who came yesterday, according to Secretary Wu, is a retired army scout with a lot of experience; maybe he can find the person."

"Let’s hope."

Liang Jianfeng patted his shoulder and said no more.

He took out his mobile phone and opened an app.

In the app, there was a nearby map with a red dot.

The red dot was Uncle Hong.

Liang Jianfeng looked at the distance between the red dot and himself, secretly amazed.

This retired scout came last night, carrying a bag and also a handgun, and entered the mountain in the dead of night.

In just over ten hours, he had already covered over ten kilometers.

You should know that the map displayed the straight-line distance.

But there were no roads in the mountains; a ten-kilometer straight-line distance meant that the old scout must have traveled at least twenty kilometers.

At three in the afternoon, under Liang Jianfeng’s puzzled gaze, all SWAT and Armed Police suddenly returned.

Liang Jianfeng walked over before he could speak, the other side said, "Mr. Liang, we need to go back."

"What happened?"

"Director Qin ordered us to go back."

Liang Jianfeng’s heart sank. "Why?"

"There’s trouble with the high-speed rail relocation; someone is leading a protest, we need to go back and maintain stability."

...

Lingjiang, City Committee.

Wu Qiangwei suddenly received a call from Liang Jianfeng.

Director Qin had just sent the SWAT and Armed Police back.

Wu Qiangwei was so furious she nearly smashed her phone.

She called Director Qin and confronted him, "Qin Yuejin, what do you mean?"

Director Qin was taken aback, "Secretary Wu, what are you talking about?"

"Why call back the SWAT and Armed Police? Don’t you know they were on a mission?"

Director Qin also became angry, spoke less courteously, "The residents of Three Lanes are opposing the relocation and are causing trouble now. The demolition office has been vandalized, and several hundred people have gathered at the scene. Secretary Wu, if I don’t request support, what should I do? Just let them gather?"

Wu Qiangwei was left speechless.

"I need to rush to the scene now, and I’ll need to mediate with multiple parties afterward. Please, Secretary Wu, don’t call me if it’s not urgent, and waste unnecessary time."

Director Qin hung up the phone.

Wu Qiangwei did not get angry because of his attitude.

At such a time, with relocation issues arising, she didn’t believe there were no tricks played by Zheng Bihui.

That bastard, going to great lengths just to minimize police involvement.
