CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

……

The next day.

When Chen Shuting woke up, it was already noon.

Gao Qilin was nowhere to be found.

There was only a note left on the bedside table, saying that he was going out to run errands and would be home in the evening.

Chen Shuting pouted reproachfully.

Because he had left her breakfast by her bedside, she forgave Gao Qilin in her heart...

……

at the same time.

Suburbs of Jinghai City, along the seaside avenue.

An Audi A6 was parked on the side of the road, and Zhao Lidong, dressed in gray, sat quietly in the back seat.

A short while later, a Santana stopped behind the car, and a figure got out and went straight to the back seat of the Audi.

Zhao Lidong slowly said, "Xu Jiang is leaving."

"Think carefully about where you should send this person."

"If it's not delivered properly, it'll be a big problem."

The man beside him silently pulled a pistol from his pocket, gripped it in his hand, and said nothing!

Zhao Lidong lowered his head, looked at the police pistol, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Cao Chuang, don't let me down."

"You've been on the front lines long enough all these years."

"After you've taken care of things, you should take a seat as deputy director in this round of personnel transfers at the municipal bureau."

……

the other side.

Inside the municipal bureau, in the monitoring room.

The technician frowned deeply: "I'll report to the director. For some reason, the surveillance cameras in the suburbs have been unstable these past few days, frequently dropping the connection and displaying static."

"We checked again today, and this time it was water damage to the wiring in the monitoring room. It's estimated that it won't be fixed until tonight."

The news quickly reached Meng Dehai's ears.

Meng Dehai sat alone in his office, slowly rubbing his temples.

On the computer screen, there were surveillance cameras in the suburbs.

It was precisely those few shots of snow in the monitoring room.

It's incredibly clear; it can even capture the slightest movement of the wind or the grass.

"Cao Chuang..."

Meng Dehai spoke softly, then couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

"Why you of all people? These past few days, besides you, no one else has been staying in the monitoring room late at night..."

Chapter 72 Clash at the Steel Mill: Your Survival is the Real Problem!

now.

In the suburbs, in an abandoned steel mill.

The surrounding area was desolate, overgrown with weeds.

The desolate and deserted appearance truly reflects the assessment of this type of abandoned suburban factory by the Jinghai Municipal Government.

Someone dies, and nobody knows it even after a year or two!

Gao Qilin parked his car outside the steel plant and walked over as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.

Xu Jiang was standing on the second floor of the steel plant, staring fiercely at everything in front of him through the window that no longer had glass.

"You little bastard, you actually dared to come alone."

"Wait to die for you!"

……

Not long after.

Gao Qilin then walked into the steel plant and stood in the lobby on the first floor. Xu Jiang's figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

Xu Jiang stared coldly at Gao Qilin: "You fucking dare to come here yourself?"

A nonchalant smile appeared on Gao Qilin's face: "Why wouldn't I dare to come?"

"On the contrary, Mr. Xu, you are now a wanted criminal. Aren't you afraid of the police?"

The words fell.

Xu Jiang suddenly roared, "To hell with the police!"

"I've spent so many years in Jinghai, spent so much money, and supported so many people, all for this day!"

"You think a few scraps of paper with my picture on them can fucking kill me?"

As he spoke, Xu Jiang pulled a homemade flintlock pistol from his clothes, the black muzzle pointing directly at Gao Qilin!

With a snap, the gunpowder was loaded into the chamber, and it seemed as if the next second, a tongue of fire would shoot out, pointing directly at Gao Qilin!

"I thought you were pretty capable, but you can't even get your hands on a gun. What are you going to use to fight me?"

"Your Majesty!"

As he roared, Xu Jiang's expression grew increasingly fierce.

But at the moment.

However, Gao Qilin's face did not show the slightest fear that an unarmed person should have towards firearms.

Instead, a smile of interest appeared on his face.

“Mr. Xu, this factory is about 500 square meters, and the distance between us is more than 200 meters.”

"Does your musket have a range of one hundred?"

……

the other side.

Commendation Conference for Outstanding Entrepreneurs of Jinghai City.

Gao Qiqiang stood on the stage, a polite smile on his face that reflected the satisfaction of his ambitions.

He was holding a certificate of merit awarded by the Jinghai Municipal Government.

"As a citizen of Jinghai City, I am delighted to see that, thanks to the efforts of friends from all walks of life, Jinghai City is now flourishing. In the future..."

The surrounding reporters seized the opportunity and started snapping photos of Gao Qiqiang with their cameras.

"Mr. Gao, I've heard that the real person in charge of Gao's Real Estate is your younger brother, Gao Qilin. Is that true?"

"Mr. Gao, construction has resumed on a long-abandoned building in the central area of ​​Qinghua District. When did the Gao family acquire it, Mr. Gao...?"

at the same time.

An Xin stood below the stage, her suffering palpable.

Maintaining order at the scene while also keeping an eye on people.

Today is the city's outstanding enterprise commendation ceremony, which can be considered a very important occasion.

The entire municipal bureau went to the scene, except...

Director Meng and his mentor Cao Chuang.

Logically speaking, these two people should have been present.

It should even be the master leading the team to maintain order, with Director Meng issuing commendations.

But why are neither of them here...?

Also at this time.

Li Xiang suddenly darted out from the crowd and grabbed An Xin's wrist.

"An Xin, come with me!"

An Xin looked puzzled: "Xiang, what's wrong?"

"Where else are you going if not to maintain order? You're pointing at Zhang Biao..."

Li Xiang gritted his teeth: "Something terrible has happened!"

"Near National Highway 302, near the old steel plant, Xu Jiang has appeared!"

Upon hearing this, An Xin immediately followed Li Xiang, running as fast as she could while asking, "How did you know? Was there an informant who reported it? Weren't the surveillance cameras over there supposed to be broken...?"
