was even more perplexed: "Group Leader Ge, what’s going on""Captain Leng, we need Summer’s assistance in investigating a case, but we have no idea where to find him. You know that his registered addr...Chapter 1355: Why Haven't You Left Yet

The expressions of everyone in the police station changed when they saw this person, and some became uneasy. Several people had already put down their guns for a simple reason: although this person was not their direct superior, he was none other than Mayor Tang Yiming of Yue Nan City.

These people in the police station didn't care much about Hu Hongguang's orders because Hu Hongguang ultimately belonged to the provincial department. As they say, a county official is no match for an immediate supervisor; although Hu Hongguang held a higher position, he was still from the province and wouldn't be stationed here frequently. The same applied to Lu Jinsong: there wasn't a direct隸屬關係between State Security and the police force, coupled with the notion that the law doesn't punish the multitude—everyone felt that it wouldn't be too problematic to offend these two individuals collectively.

However, Tang Yiming was different. As the mayor of Yue Nan City, he could remove anyone from their position at any time. When he said they should go back to farming, he wasn't joking; Tang Yiming really had the authority to make them lose their jobs. In this day and age, what mattered most Ultimately, it came down to keeping one's job.

"Still not putting away your guns" Tang Yiming roared again.

This time, everyone put down their guns, except for the State Security personnel.

"Put them down," Lu Jinsong also spoke up at this moment; he didn't want things to escalate to a point where they had to use their weapons.

"Mayor Tang, we have orders from the provincial department to take Xie Aiguo to the provincial department. What do you think about that" Hu Hongguang approached Tang Yiming and asked in a calm voice.

"Director Hu, I am aware of the situation. It is indeed more appropriate for the provincial department to handle this case."

"Director Hu..." Lu Jinsong frowned slightly.

胡鴻光 waved his hand and gave a signal to 呂勁鬆, who seemed to understand something and remained silent.

"Mayor Tang, in order to prevent any unexpected incidents, I plan to take the suspect away now. It will be a hassle for you to handle the aftermath."

"No problem. Cooperating with the provincial department's investigation is our duty as residents of Yue Nan City."

"Then I won't waste any more time." Hu Hongguang shook hands with Tang Yiming and then waved his hand, "Take them away!"

Xie Aiguo was quickly taken to the provincial department's police car. Hu Hongguang also got into the vehicle and left with Xie Aiguo, while Lu Jinsong followed closely behind.

Due to Tang Yiming's appearance and because Xie Aiguo was ultimately taken away by the provincial department rather than the State Security Bureau, there were no further acts of resistance from the police station. The group from the provincial department quickly left Yue Nan City Police Station. About ten minutes later, their cars stopped again.

All others remained in the car, but Hu Hongguang got out. Lu Jinsong, who had been following him all along, also stopped his vehicle by the roadside and got out to walk towards Hu Hongguang.

"Director Hu, this case is under our State Security Bureau's jurisdiction. This is Group Leader Xia’s order," Lu Jinsong stated bluntly: "You should hand over Xie Aiguo to me."

"Mr. Lu, I understand your point of view, but I hope you could report back to Mr. Xia and see if we can cooperate at the provincial department." Hu Hongguang had a very gentle smile on his face: "From my understanding, Mr. Xia is quite busy and doesn't have much time for this case. And here in the local police force, many people are closely tied to Xie Aiguo. Just today in the police station, someone wanted to kill him while another wanted to save him. Honestly speaking, I can’t assure you that it would be safe if we let Xie Aiguo stay here. However, since your side of State Security Bureau doesn't seem to have anyone related to Xie Aiguo, it’s not certain whether something might happen due to this being his turf. Don’t you think Mr. Lu, that you don’t want anything bad happening to him while he's under your care Otherwise, I’m sure you won’t be able to explain it to Group Leader Xia."

"Director Hu, working at the provincial department wouldn't be a problem but this case was personally instructed by Group Leader Xia. Therefore, we must take charge of it," Lu Jinsong said after some thought.

"Mr. Lu, actually, Mr. Xia only wants to seek revenge for that girl called Shen Yun, right So the case you need to handle is mainly about this but Xie Aiguo’s involvement goes far beyond this," Hu Hongguang smiled: "In my opinion, we don’t necessarily have to decide who takes charge of what. You can take the information related to Shen Yun's case and we'll provide other cases’ details. We help each other out without interfering with one another. What do you think"

Lu Jinsong pondered for a moment before nodding: "Alright, then let’s go this way. I’ll make some arrangements first and then we will take people to the provincial department."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu," Hu Hongguang was visibly pleased; he shook hands with Lu Jinsong: "There's one more thing that might need your help. I'm concerned about potential troubles on the way to the provincial department. Xie Aiguo knows a lot of things and there may be people along the route who wish to save him or eliminate him, but my manpower isn’t enough for security. Therefore, I hope State Security can assist us in ensuring safety on the road."

"No problem," Lu Jinsong readily agreed: "We will arrange personnel to provide protection along the way." However, he continued: "But we need to wait a while as there are some preparations to be made."

"No problem, we can stay here for a while." Hu Hongguang nodded.

Lü Jinsong didn't say anything more and quickly returned to the car. He began dispatching personnel from the State Security Department and later reported the situation to Mu Han. When he heard that Mu Han had taken care of trivial matters on his own, Lü Jinsong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Mu Han should be satisfied with how he handled today's affairs.

Summer eventually woke up, once again roused by the ringing phone. Of course, it was already late; close to one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Honey, has Yaoyao arrived" As soon as the call connected, Ye Mengying's soft and alluring voice came through.

Summer paused for a moment, looked at the bedside, and noticed that not only was Chu Yao absent, but also Ning Jie, the miserly girl. "Sis Mei, is Yaoyao coming to find me I didn't know about it."

"Honey, all the medicinal herbs you requested are ready. You urgently need these herbs, and I can't go myself right now, so I asked Yaoyao to deliver them for you, especially a thousand-year-old ginseng. I really don’t feel at ease having anyone else carry it." Ye Mengying explained.

"Yaoyao left this morning, but I didn’t ask how she went. Don’t worry though; she will definitely arrive today."

“Oh, it’s not that urgent actually, Sis Mei, you don’t need to worry too much. It's fine if she arrives a bit later.” Summer reassured Ye Mengying.

"Alright then, I’ll hang up now; I have to attend a meeting." Ye Mengying spoke softly and hung up the phone afterwards.

Summer finally got dressed and woke up, went downstairs, and found the living room a bit quiet. Apart from Liu Yunying, everyone else was actually not there.

"Brother-in-law, you're awake" Liu Yunying was playing with her phone無聊地在客廳玩手機，看到夏天下來，連忙打了個招呼，“Ning Jie讓我告訴你，她和那個叫卡羅琳的外國女人去了月落湖玩了，可能會去神山玩吧，估計要到晚上纔回來。”

"Oh, and what about the others" Summer asked casually.

"Bro Feng and his parents have already left for Star City. They said Shen Yun's body was taken away by the provincial police force; now the case is being handled by the provincial department. And your National Security Bureau team members are also reportedly at the provincial headquarters," Liu Yunying quickly informed him, "Xiao Fei has also gone back to the provincial headquarters. She originally wanted to tell you, but since you were sleeping, she asked me to relay the message."

"So all of them have left" Summer looked at Liu Yunying with a bit of surprise and said, "Then why haven't you left yet"

"Brother-in-law, is that what you want" Liu Yunying sounded somewhat dejected.

"Of course," Summer yawned. "You're not my sister; why would you stay here"

Liu Yunying almost choked on his words and after a while muttered, "I won't tell your sister that you’re here doing nothing all day, so what’s the rush"

Before Summer even had a chance to speak, Liu Yuncheng immediately spoke up: "Brother-in-law, don't worry. I'm leaving right away. Sister Fei is asking me to go to Star City with her. Let me make a quick call to see if they are still on the road."

Almost instantly, Liu Yuncheng made a phone call to Hu Feifei. After a moment, she hung up, somewhat dejected: "Sister Feifei said that they're almost in Star City. I'll go there tomorrow then."

"Suit yourself; I'm going out for some food." As Summer was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and asked curiously, "Hey, where's the long-legged girl She doesn't seem to be in her room."

Summer quickly turned around and ran upstairs. He pushed open Ye Yumei’s bedroom door but found it empty inside, which left him slightly disappointed. Where could that woman have gone Could she possibly be meeting up with her ex-lover Han Mingfei

"She's not even my wife yet, and she already starts sneaking around behind my back for secret meetings. This long-legged girl really deserves a beating. It looks like being tall isn’t such an advantage after all; it only makes you run faster." Summer muttered to himself before disappearing into the room again, no longer concerned with eating first—finding Ye Yumei was his priority now.

On the national highway from Yue Nan City to Star City, about twenty kilometers away from Star City, the road was jammed with parked cars. The vehicles ahead could not move forward, and more cars kept arriving behind them. Meanwhile, a convoy escorted by police cars also had no choice but to stop.

Usually, this stretch of road would be sparsely populated, bordered on both sides by farmland and lacking any nearby houses—quite an isolated area. Now that it was so congested with vehicles, there must have been a problem up ahead.

"Find out what's going on!" Hu Hongguang ordered from inside one of the police cars, his face darkening slightly. They had left Yue Nan City in the morning and experienced traffic jams there. Those previous jams ended without incident, but everything went smoothly afterward. Yet now, as they approached Star City, it seemed like something was happening again.d's phone""Most likely, he’s out having fun with someone and turned off his phone," Qiao Feng'er never forgot to speak ill of Xia Tian.Qiao Xiaoqiao shook her head but did not say anything further, wi...
