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

"The Riverside Grand Hotel, wanna go?"

Jiangbian Hotel is a well-known seafood restaurant in Jinghai City. Gao Qilin quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, my daughter was clamoring to eat these things a few days ago, and I'm already stuffed. Let's talk about it later!"

As he spoke, Gao Qilin greeted everyone in the office with a smile, and then left the office with An Xin.

After a while.

The two sat down at a rice noodle roll shop across from the police station.

An Xin leaned closer and whispered, "Hey Gao Qilin, if you have any evidence, don't keep me in suspense."

Gao Qilin said calmly, "There is no evidence."

An Xin was immediately furious: "No evidence? You, a big boss, cheated me out of a meal? Gao Qilin, are you really that shameless?"

"Liba Company, you invested tens of millions, right? You're trying to scam a lowly policeman like me out of a meal? You..."

Gao Qilin was amused by An Xin's reaction and quickly said, "Alright, I won't come to you if there's no progress."

"I'm asking you, do you have a photo of your teacher's wife?"

An Xin was stunned for a moment.

Although I guessed that Gao Qilin might have some clues to provide, I never expected... that they would be such important clues!

Now, his teacher's wife is a key figure under investigation by the provincial and even the capital's investigation teams!

Director Meng's most important task for himself was to find the mother and daughter.

But there was no progress whatsoever.

Gao Qilin, there's actually a clue...?

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Forced Transfer to Oversee the Reconstruction of Qinghua District!

As Gao Qilin finished speaking, An Xin nodded with a somewhat troubled expression on her face.

"Yes, yes, but..."

But Director Meng told you to search for the person discreetly, not to alert anyone else, and definitely not to post any photos, right?

Gao Qilin spoke calmly.

This time, An Xin made no attempt to hide her shock: "How did you know? Director Meng even told you this?"

Gao Qilin sighed immediately: "Officer An, use your brain."

"If you dare to search for someone so openly, Zhao Lidong will definitely not let you find them."

"Show me the photo so I can confirm if it's Cao Chuang's wife and children."

An Xin gave a blank "oh" and then picked up her phone to send Gao Qilin a multimedia message.

Above is a photo of Cao Chuang and his family of three.

After sending the message, An Xin suddenly remembered something and grabbed Gao Qilin's sleeve: "I'm warning you, although my master did something wrong, he and my master's wife are both good people."

"You absolutely mustn't treat him like you would a mad donkey..."

Gao Qilin nodded calmly and said, "Don't worry."

"Once I find the person, I will prioritize protecting them."

An Xin retorted, "You should have handed it over to our Municipal Bureau immediately..."

Gao Qilin simply smiled faintly.

“Police officer, I’m the one who found him.”

"Besides... Meng Dehai will be leaving soon, and I need to entrust him to someone I can trust."

After Gao Qilin finished speaking, he patted An Xin on the shoulder meaningfully, then turned and left.

On the contrary, An Xin stood there stunned, spending half a day digesting the information in Gao Qilin's words.

Is Director Meng leaving?

What do you mean?

……

Not long after.

An Xin also returned to the Municipal Bureau.

On this occasion, he ran into Meng Dehai, who quickly said, "An Xin, come with me."

An Xin followed Meng Dehai into the office, completely bewildered.

Meng Dehai didn't speak immediately, but quietly brewed his tea.

An Xin, unable to bear the overly quiet atmosphere any longer, spoke up first: "Director Meng."

"Someone told me...you're leaving, what does that mean?"

As An Xin finished speaking, Meng Dehai finally opened his mouth slowly: "I called you here today for this matter."

"As required by the province, I must immediately assume the official position of district head and can no longer serve as the interim director of the municipal bureau."

"As for the work, someone else will take over soon."

"His name is Guo Wenjian. He will be transferred here soon. He is a trustworthy person and can report on the investigation of Cao Chuang's wife and children."

"As for Lao An, he will also leave the Municipal Bureau with me."

The words fell.

An Xin stood there, opening her mouth weakly.

How could this be?

They had already done a very secretive job of searching Cao Chuang's wife and children, and victory was in sight!

We already have a lead on Gao Qilin's side!

But at this crucial moment, Director Meng was so forcefully transferred away...

Not only that.

Even I only just found out about it.

Where did Gao Qilin come from, this prophet?

Surely even this can't be just speculation?!

……

the other side.

Gao family.

Gao Qilin sat on the sofa, drinking tea and watching TV.

Gao Qiqiang walked over: "What brings you here today? Coming over in the middle of the day? I'm going to the company now, do you want to come with me?"

Gao Qilin shook his head: "No, brother, did Tang Xiaolong and the others say anything to you?"

Gao Qiqiang said thoughtfully, "Yes, they said you asked me to get them a camera, and they should have bought it by now."

Gao Qilin hummed in agreement.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Qiqiang finally sat down next to Gao Qilin and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Qilin, tell me the truth, what have you been up to lately?"

"Is it with Zhao Lidong...?"

Gao Qilin smiled faintly and said, "Brother, why are you worrying about this?"

Gao Qiqiang frowned with worry. From childhood to adulthood, Gao Qiqiang had always been the most worrisome person in the family.

　(cabj) said at this moment, "Qilin, Zhao Lidong is not someone to be trifled with. I asked around and found out that he has a powerful backer, possibly in the province. You must be careful."

“I do have two younger brothers, but how can Xiao Sheng take your place? What if something happens to you…”

The words fell.

Gao Qilin smiled faintly.

It feels really good to have family members who care about you.

"Don't worry, brother. The enemy is in the open, and we are in the shadows. We'll be fine."

Gao Qiqiang then sighed, "Alright. Qilin, you are the most promising child in our family, so you must be careful in your actions."

Gao Qilin nodded.

Soon after, Gao Qiqiang rubbed his hands together and spoke again: "By the way, Qilin, when did you acquire the 063 plot in Qinghua District? I found this place when I was reviewing the company's accounts. Isn't this the area around Mang Village?"

Gao Qilin nodded: "This area is very likely to be developed in Qinghua District. Acquiring it in advance will also benefit us."

"And that's exactly what I was going to tell you."

"Meng Dehai will be transferred soon, and he will probably be in charge of the reconstruction of Qinghua District. We will do our best to cooperate with him."

Gao Qiqiang nodded, clearly taking the matter to heart: "I understand."

"Is there anything else? I'm going back to the company now to arrange things in Qinghua District..."
