Ma Guoliang didn't sleep well last night. He couldn't figure out Liu Yixiong's disappearance all night. Where could he have gone? If he hadn't left the mountains, where could he be hiding? Why didn't he come looking for him? Did he not trust him? Or did he want to betray him?

Ma Guoliang felt that Liu Yixiong was the most difficult to control among all the people. Although Liu Yixiong usually listened to him the most, he was very cunning. Sometimes, he couldn't even guess what Liu Yixiong was thinking.

Therefore, he must find him as soon as possible. Without Liu Yixiong, he will completely lose control of the county public security bureau. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pick up his phone and dial Wang Dalong's number: "Dalong, how's it going? Any news on Yixiong?"

Wang Dalong frowned: "No, but he might still be in the mountains."

"We sent people to check, and he has no record of leaving the country. He should still be in the mountains." Wang Dalong isn't stupid. Even if he really found Liu Yixiong, he absolutely cannot notify him immediately. Right now, he doesn't trust anyone.

"Dalong, hurry up, you have to find him as quickly as possible. Big brother is very anxious, and so am I. You know, Lao Liu knows too much, and we entrust him with some tasks. If he accidentally lets something slip, things will get very troublesome."

Wang Dalong sneered inwardly. He understood perfectly what Ma Guoliang meant. Would someone as cautious as Liu Yixiong let something slip? Of course not. But what if the other party deliberately let something slip? Moreover, if Liu Yixiong wanted to leave Gaoshan, he would definitely seek out Ma Guoliang, because only Ma Guoliang could truly help him leave. No one else could.

"Brother Ma, don't worry, my men have already started searching. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news." Wang Dalong hung up the phone, glanced at the time, frowned slightly, and casually asked, "Where's Ah Hu?"

"Big brother, I'm here." Wang Dahu came out.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Wang Dalong glared at his younger brother, his face full of displeasure.

"Brother, I'm leaving right away. Take care." Wang Dahu said with some reluctance. It had been a long time since the brothers had been separated like this.


"Big brother, I'm leaving." With that, Wang Dahu turned and walked away. Wang Dalong watched him slowly walk out of Tianlong Mansion, get into his car, and the car slowly drove away from the mansion.

Just as the car drove away, a figure in the nearby woods picked up his phone and dialed: "The car is out, Wang Dahu is in it."

"Very good, keep a close eye on Tianlong Mansion." Lin Ying hung up the phone and quickly looked at Duan Fei and Di Meng. Wang Dahu would definitely escape, and he would definitely choose to escape at night, so she had to hurry. Escape? No way.

Thinking of this, Lin Ying looked at the two men: "You take men to intercept Wang Dahu. Remember, bring him back alive. This time, we'll send him directly to the provincial capital." Lin Ying knew very well that once Wang Dahu fell into her hands again, Wang Dalong would fight desperately. Therefore, to ensure everything went smoothly, she had to transfer Wang Dahu away.

The two quickly led their men away.

"Boss, Aunt Yao wants to see you." Fatty Xu walked in.

Lin Ying quickly entered the room and looked at the old woman sitting on the bed: "Auntie, you want to see me?"

The old woman looked up at Lin Ying, but how could she see her? After a slight hesitation, she finally spoke, "You are...?"

"I am Lin Ying, the newly appointed deputy secretary of the county party committee, acting county head, and director of the public security bureau."

"Acting county magistrate?" Aunt Yao's body trembled violently, and that unease once again swept through her entire body. It seemed that her daughter Gao Lan had really gotten into trouble.

"So you're the acting county magistrate? Does that mean Lanlan really got into trouble?" Aunt Yao's voice trembled slightly. Lanlan was such a good child!

For a moment, Lin Ying didn't know how to answer. Both of them remained silent. The old woman looked somewhat sad. She remembered when Gao Lan first came to Yaojia Village. She often came to her house to do chores, sometimes for the whole day. Sometimes she couldn't understand how a county magistrate with so many things to handle and so much work to do could have time to help her with farm work. Later, she realized that the girl really treated her like her own mother.

The old woman couldn't stop crying when she thought of Gao Lan's death. Lin Ying was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort her. A sad atmosphere filled the room.

After crying for a long time, the old man finally looked up and asked, "Have you been to the mountains before?"

Lin Ying paused slightly, then slowly shook her head: "No, Auntie." How could the old woman think she had been to the mountains before? What did that mean? Could it be that she had seen her before? But the old woman couldn't see her either.

The old man seemed somewhat disappointed, nodding slowly, then hesitating to speak. Lin Ying's heart skipped a beat. Sun Ping had said that Gao Lan had investigated Ji Xiaoqing's case, but he hadn't given her the materials Gao Lan had gathered. So, the materials should be with Gao Lan. But she was dead. Where did those investigation materials go? Could it be…

She looked up at the old man, her eyes full of expectation. Perhaps sensing Lin Ying's thoughts, the old man actually spoke: "Director Lin, have you met Sun Ping?"

Lin Ying was startled and looked at the old man. She hesitated for a moment, then spoke up: "Old man, Sun Ping is dead. However, before he died, he gave me what he had."

"What? He...he...he's dead?" The old woman's head throbbed, her body swayed slightly, and she almost fell over. Lin Ying quickly helped her up.

"Grandma, are you alright?" Lin Ying looked at the old woman's pale face and wondered if she should take her to the hospital.

The old woman gently supported Lin Ying's hand and accidentally touched Lin Ying's face. Suddenly, she had a thought. This nose... She suddenly reached out and touched Lin Ying's face with both hands. Lin Ying did not stop her or back down, and let the old woman touch her face.

Unexpectedly, just as he touched her halfway, the old man's expression changed drastically. He stared blankly in Lin Ying's direction, his hands trembling slightly: "You...you...you are Lan'er, you are Lan'er, I am my Lan'er?!"

Lin Ying frowned, momentarily at a loss for words. The old man's body trembled slightly as he grabbed Lin Ying's hand: "You're Lan'er, aren't you? You're Gao Lan, aren't you?"
