The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

Chen Shi looked at Jiang Yiqiu and said, "Let me introduce you. This is my high school classmate Zhou Hua, and this is his wife, Su Lin, the chief physician at Huahai Hospital."

Jiang Yiqiu smiled and said, "Boss Zhou, Dr. Su, hello. I am Chen Shi's wife and the principal of Chunyang No. 1 Middle School."

Zhou Hua smiled and said, "Principal Jiang is so young. You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

Su Lin replied, "Don't stand there, come and sit in the company."

The four of them arrived at Zhou Hua's office, where Zhou Hua poured tea for Chen Shi and Jiang Yiqiu.

"Chen County, we're going to have a barbecue in the wild later. We won't be back tonight; we'll camp outside and watch the sunrise tomorrow morning."

Chen Shi looked at Zhou Hua: "We're old classmates, don't call me County Chen, just call me by my name."

Zhou Hua smiled and said, "You can call me by my name, but I can't call you by yours. We need to distinguish between the two kings."

"You are the local official of Chunyang, so I still prefer to address you by your official title."

Su Lin then asked, "Where are we going to camp later?"

"Longshan, Longshan is the highest mountain in Yizhou. The air is fresh there, perfect for camping and watching the sunrise." Zhou Hua looked at Chen Shi: "Chen County, have you ever been there?"

"I went there when I was in college. There was no camping, just a barbecue in the wild."

Jiang Yiqiu said, "We didn't bring a tent, and we didn't prepare anything."

Zhou Hua replied, "I've made preparations for you; I have many tents here."

Su Lin said, "Zhou Hua likes off-roading. Whenever he has free time, he goes camping in sparsely populated places. I went with him to a place where we couldn't see anyone for several kilometers around. I was so scared that I didn't dare to leave the tent all night."

From then on, I wouldn't go camping with him without first confirming the location; it was too scary.

After chatting for a while, they set off around 3 p.m. Zhou Hua drove an SUV, which was full of things.

Jiang Yiqiu asked, "Boss Zhou, can our car go there?"

Zhou Hua glanced at the car: "Don't drive there. I'll take you to a great place, one you've never been before. I only discovered it by chance."

Su Lin replied, "Don't take us deep into the mountains. If the car breaks down and we can't get out, that will be troublesome."

"I've traveled this road before, so nothing unexpected will happen. But if I haven't traveled it before, I can't say for sure; accidents can happen."

Jiang Yiqiu looked at Chen Shi and said, "Your classmate is too risky. She values ​​her life and doesn't want to go."

Chen Shi said, "Let's go with Boss Zhou to see what kind of place this is. I've been to Longshan many times, and I know the route well."

Jiang Yiqiu could only get on the bus with Chen Shi and sit in the back row.

Su Lin sat in the passenger seat. She also liked adventure and had done a lot of extreme sports, including bungee jumping many times. Compared to Zhou Hua, she was still a primary school student.

Going off-roading with Zhou Hua was nerve-wracking; I felt like the car might flip over at any moment.

After driving for half an hour, we arrived at the foot of Longshan Mountain. We drove along the winding mountain road for more than ten minutes, and then Zhou Hua made a turn and drove onto a hillside with a slope of seventy or eighty degrees.

Jiang Yiqiu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he felt that things could go wrong at any moment.

Chen Shi was also startled; this was too frightening.

Zhou Hua slammed on the gas pedal, speeding up the hillside until the road surface became flat.

Su Lin complained, "If you're going to drive into a steep slope, could you at least tell us beforehand so that County Chief Chen and Principal Jiang can be prepared? It's terrifying! We were driving along just fine, and then suddenly we drove into a steep slope."

Zhou Hua said, "You'll get used to it. There are four or five more steep slopes like this ahead."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiqiu wanted to get off the bus and not stay in it anymore; it was too frightening, and his life was more important.

She held Chen Shi's hand tightly, and Chen Shi held his hand back, looking at Jiang Yiqiu: "Zhou Hua has walked this road before, so don't worry."

Zhou Hua added, "This road poses no challenge to us off-road enthusiasts; it's just like driving on a highway."

A steep slope appeared ahead, and Zhou Hua shouted, "Hold on tight, we're going uphill!"

This slope wasn't as steep as the previous one, and we quickly made our way up it, then drove into a small river, and then climbed two more steep slopes in succession.

After a bumpy ride, Jiang Yiqiu felt nauseous and vowed never to come again; it was like playing with his life.

Gradually, the road became flat and wide. There was a pond ahead, and Zhou Hua stopped the car: "We're here."

Jiang Yiqiu breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally arrived. Her legs were so weak with fear that Chen Shi helped her out of the car.

Jiang Yiqiu slowly recovered. The scenery here was quite nice; the water in the pond was crystal clear, and you could see the fish inside.

Surrounded by flat, tree-lined meadows and with dense forests in the distance, this spot offers a panoramic view of the entire Yizhou City.

Zhou Hua asked, "How is it? Not bad, right?"

Su Lin nodded in satisfaction: "This place is alright."

Chen Shi said, "I never imagined that Longshan would hide such a paradise."

The sound of birdsong filled the air; far from the hustle and bustle of the city, it was very quiet, a true blend of nature and tranquility.

Zhou Hua opened the trunk of the SUV, took out the tents, and Chen Shi went over to help set up the two tents.

Su Lin went to get the barbecue grill, and Jiang Yiqiu went to help by getting the barbecue equipment.

Zhou Hua took out two fishing rods: "County Chief Chen, let's go fishing."

Two deck chairs were placed by the pond. Chen Shi became interested and followed Zhou Hua to go fishing.

Su Lin called out, "Zhou Hua, start the fire first."

Zhou Hua quickly ran over, lit the fire, and let Su Lin and Jiang Yiqiu barbecue.

Zhou Hua and Chen Shi were lying on deck chairs, fishing. Zhou Hua sat up and said, "The water is so clear, I want to go swimming. Chen, can you swim?"

Is the water deep?

"It's not deep. It was my first time here, and I didn't bring any equipment. I just went in and swam naked. The deepest part was about two meters."

I didn't bring a swimsuit or swimming trunks.

Zhou Hua said, "I brought a few sets. Let's go swimming."

Chen Shi arrived here and completely relaxed. He followed Zhou Hua to get his swimsuit and swimming trunks and went back to the tent to change.

Su Lin asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Swimming," Zhou Hua said.

"If we make the water dirty, what will we drink?"

Zhou Hua pointed to the forest in the distance: "There's a small pond ahead with very good water quality. Drink the water from the pond."

Su Lin called out, "Go and get a bucket of water first, then go swimming."

Jiang Yiqiu said with a worried look, "We don't know how deep the pond is, so it's best not to go swimming."

"Principal Jiang, don't worry, the water is very shallow. Would you like to go swimming together? I brought you swimsuits and swimming trunks."

Su Lin looked at Jiang Yiqiu: "Principal Jiang, would you like to go swimming?"

Jiang Yiqiu quickly said, "I won't go. There's no way to tell how deep the pond is in the wild."

Su Lin wanted to go, so he called out, "Quickly, go get some water!"

Chen Shi and Zhou Hua went to a small pond in the distant forest and brought back a bucket of water.

Su Lin poured the water into a cup, took a sip, and nodded repeatedly: "The water quality is very good. Take a bucket with you when you go back."

Zhou Hua said, "This water is truly natural and tastes much better than bottled mineral water."

Su Lin looked at Jiang Yiqiu: "Principal Jiang, you can have a barbecue here, I'll go swimming too."

Zhou Hua called out, "Principal Jiang, come together, the water is shallow."

"Never mind, I'm not used to swimming in the wild."

Zhou Hua went to the car to get a swimsuit and swimming trunks for Su Lin to change into at the tent.

Jiang Yiqiu said to Chen Shi, "Don't go into the deep part of the pond. Be careful. This is the middle of nowhere. If something happens, the ambulance won't be able to get in."

"It's alright, Zhou Hua brought a lifeboat. I checked, the water isn't deep."

After Su Lin changed into her swimsuit and swimming trunks, the three of them jumped into the pond one after another.
