Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 459 - 284: Entering the Arena (Triple Combo)
And he wasn’t taken away secretly, so as long as those above investigate a little, it would be easy to find out what’s going on.
This is why the other party wouldn’t use official power to deal with Qi Yun unless absolutely necessary; if you follow the normal procedures, there’s no secrecy at all.
Whether it’s Qi Yun expending great costs to forcibly retrieve those national treasures from a foreign warship or discovering the tomb of Genghis Khan and the relics of Loulan Ancient City, each of these could be considered a great achievement.
So he believes that once the higher-ups understand the situation, they won’t stand by idly; at the very least, ensuring his safety should be no problem.
Even if some changes occur, he still has another plan in reserve...
"What the hell are you thinking about? I’ve let you smoke, and you’re still playing tactics with me, huh?" The burly man saw that Qi Yun was hesitating to speak and slapped the back of his neck again, almost knocking the cigarette out of Qi Yun’s mouth, "I’m warning you, this is your last chance, speak up quickly."
Qi Yun gritted his teeth, not daring to act rashly, fearing that this brute might really strip him naked if angered.
"The item is at the New District branch. Get my phone, and I’ll give their director a heads-up, then you can go and get it directly."
The burly man’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and then he slapped the back of Qi Yun’s neck again, "Still playing mind games with me, huh? Do you need to give them a heads-up? Which street’s branch in the New District!"
...
On the other side, after Tong Yangming and his group left the New District Branch, Zhang Dayong stood at the entrance, pondered for a moment, and then took out his phone to call a friend in the city zx to explain the situation.
The zx unit is quite special; it doesn’t have much authority, but it cannot be easily ignored, as the people there are very influential.
Previously he didn’t make this call because they had bypassed the city zx and directly obtained procedures from the szx, so even if the city zx stepped in, it wouldn’t be useful.
But now it’s different, with other core forces leading and getting involved, it’s time to start aligning each piece; every additional force can put more pressure on the other party.
Within an office in the zx work area of the city F building, Vice Secretary Peng, who is responsible for daily affairs, received the news and looked extremely grim.
Without solid evidence, bypassing their city zx to directly arrest someone, whether from procedural or legal perspectives, there are flaws and somewhat gives the impression of disregarding them.
Vice Secretary Peng immediately picked up the desk phone, dialed a number, and after communicating with the person on the other end for a few minutes, he stood up, walked towards the core office area upstairs, and while walking, took out his mobile phone to send a message to the Bird City Chamber of Commerce President.
Vice Secretary Peng quickly arrived at an office on the ninth floor, where Secretary Jiang stood up to greet him looking surprised: "Vice Secretary Peng, what brings you here?"
Normally, apart from attending important meetings, zx rarely appears on this floor.
So when Peng suddenly came by, Secretary Jiang, being a close associate of Ma Chaoyang, naturally could guess the reason.
Vice Secretary Peng nodded with a somber expression: "I’m here to see Director Ma, does he have some time now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door inside opened, and Director Fang from the anti-smuggling bureau came out looking a bit anxious.
This was already his second time walking out of this office today; why would he frequent the place? Naturally, because he was uncertain...
However, this old fellow is also quite shrewd, having rushed over to report immediately after receiving Tong Yangming’s call, afraid the blame would ultimately fall on him.
Director Fang was taken aback upon seeing Vice Secretary Peng, but he didn’t initiate a greeting, knowing that they had little interaction and were unfamiliar, so he nodded to Secretary Jiang and walked out.
As he was about to reach the door, hurried footsteps sounded from the corridor outside.
The next moment, several men in plain clothes, with stern expressions, blocked his way.
Seeing this, Director Fang’s slightly settled heart immediately tensed up again.
Their sharp gazes and daunting aura gave him a sense of danger.
The leader simply glanced at Director Fang before bypassing him to walk into the office, heading straight towards Secretary Jiang.
"Jiang Bohong! We’re from the national security agency, please come with us for an investigation!" The group leader said, raising his hand to show his credentials.
The room fell into silence at his words.
Secretary Jiang’s face turned deathly pale; he stared at the national security credentials, his Adam’s apple moving violently, then forced out a stiff smile, "Comrade, is there some misunderstanding? I’m Secretary to Director Ma..."
"You don’t need to explain anything here, say what you have to when you come with us!" The group leader’s words were icy cold, and his face showed no expression.
This statement was like a heavy blow to Jiang’s chest, causing him to stagger back a step, hitting the desk.
Director Fang, who had not yet left the doorway, looked into the room with anxiety; the national security agency taking Wang Secretary away was significant, and he was well aware of its implications.
Yet Vice Secretary Peng, standing aside, had a barely noticeable curve of satisfaction at the corners of his mouth.
The commotion outside finally alerted those inside, and as Ma Chaoyang opened the door to see the scene outside, his previously grim face froze in disbelief.
His appearance instantly gave Secretary Jiang a sense of hope as if he had found his pillar.
"Director Ma! They’re taking me away! I haven’t done anything illegal!" Secretary Jiang’s voice was tinged with sobs as if clinging to his last hope, he reached for Ma Chaoyang.
