After Gong Shanhai's wife boarded the plane, he drove back ho.
However, when the ti ca, he hadn't received a call, which gradually sunk his mood to rock bottom.
He waited for almost half an hour, but still there was no movent.
Gong Shanhai, unable to suppress his anxiety, called his wife, but no one answered.
He made several more calls in succession, but still couldn't connect.
Just when he was feeling hopeless, the phone suddenly rang—it was his wife.
"Honey, I'm in the Imperial Capital now, and everything is fine."
"Why are you contacting just now?"
"The flight was delayed, and after arriving in the Imperial Capital, I still had to go through security checks. It was all very troubleso. I was afraid you'd worry, so I'm calling now to let you know."
Putting down the phone, Gong Shanhai let out a sigh of relief, realizing it was just a false alarm.
Feeling drowsy, he lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
The reason why Gong Shanhai was reluctant to leave Tianhe was because, relying on his position as police chief, he had beco a protector for many people.
Since he decided to escape, he planned to make a big haul before leaving.
In the following days, Gong Shanhai began to borrow money from people around him.
No one knew his true intention, so they all responded one after another.
So even thought that Gong Shanhai borrowing money from them ant he considered them his own people.
To strengthen relationships, they even chose to lend more.
Thus, in just a week, Gong Shanhai made another large sum.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, he bought a plane ticket on his phone and decided to leave Tianhe, planning to reunite with his wife and children in Beautiful Country.
Just as he was about to go through security, a man's voice suddenly called from behind.
"Director Gong, where are you headed?"
Gong Shanhai felt a tremor in his heart and imdiately turned around to run.
But he quickly discovered that soone was already blocking his path.
"Being our director, there's no need for handcuffs. Let's go!"
Gong Shanhai didn't speak, only let out a deep sigh.
He knew that if these three dared to co forward, there must be a tight net around him, and he couldn't escape.
Then, being supported by two people in front of him, he slowly left the airport.
That night, Cheng Zhuang ca to the study room of the No.1 Courtyard of the Municipal Party Committee for a confidential talk with Chen Bin.
"Big brother, you are amazing! Gong Shanhai is a big catch—his bank account had nearly fifty million."
Chen Bin nodded, his expression remaining calm.
Everything happening now was within his expectations.
After finding Gong Shanhai, he asked Cheng Zhuang to begin laying the groundwork.
When Gong Shanhai and his wife were at Tianhe Airport, there were already many hidden people around.
It was just that Gong Shanhai didn't plan to leave, so Chen Bin decided to let him off the hook temporarily, waiting for a bigger opportunity.
"Brother, now that I've brought down Gong Shanhai, it's ti for you to prepare to move up."
"No problem, you're my big brother. Whatever you need to do, I'll do."
Hearing this, Chen Bin patted Cheng Zhuang's shoulder, not saying much.
In so respects, he had more trust in Cheng Zhuang than in Ma Juan.
The next morning, when Chen Bin went downstairs for breakfast, Ji Ruyi tentatively asked.
"Secretary Chen, the matter of Ji Huiyue going to the provincial station—did you handle it?"
When she heard that Ji Huiyue had gone to the provincial station and was also given an important position, she was extrely surprised.
After calling to inquire, Ji Huiyue didn't ntion a word about it.
After so thought, Ji Ruyi assud that soone with such influence could only be Chen Bin.
Chen Bin nodded, admitting it very graciously.
"Yes, I handled it."
Frowning, Ji Ruyi's expression suddenly turned unhappy.
"How could this child act like this! She wanted to ask you for help, and after I refused, her restless heart still found you."
"Actually, arranging for Ji Huiyue to go to the provincial station wasn't just for your sake. Her business skills and appearance are both outstanding, which is why I decided to give her an important role."
"That's wonderful, thank you, Secretary Chen!"
Ji Ruyi was quite unhappy about Ji Min going to seek out Chen Bin without permission.
But as an aunt, she still hoped her niece could develop on a better platform.
Since Ji Huiyue could win Chen Bin's approval, Ji Ruyi was naturally delighted from the bottom of her heart.
With a slight smile, Chen Bin replied.
"If I were to tell you I also plan to arrange a job for Ji Min, I'm sure you would be even happier."
"This... wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Ji Min is your only daughter. If she leaves, what would you do? So I decided to arrange for her to work in Tianhe. This way, she can earn money while being close to you."
Hearing this, Ji Ruyi was moved to tears, almost wanting to kneel down.
"Thank you, Secretary Chen, thank you..."
Chen Bin got up, pulled out a tissue, and handed it over.
"No need to be so polite. Since we could et here, it's fate. Whether it's Ji Huiyue or Ji Min, as long as they do well, I can help them. You can also tell if you face difficulties in life."
Ji Ruyi nodded earnestly, her heart full of gratitude.
She never dread that she could et a leader as good as Chen Bin.
So fortunate, truly too fortunate!
At this mont, the news of Gong Shanhai going missing quickly spread throughout the city.
Many people tried to contact him, but all to no avail.
Among all those concerned about Gong Shanhai's whereabouts, the most anxious were Gan Qiu and Min Tenghai.
"Mayor Gan, have you heard the news about Gong Shanhai going missing?"
"Of course, I've heard. Has he contacted you recently?"
"Before the citywide security inspection, he borrowed money from ."
"How much did you give him?"
"Fifty million!"
Sighing, Min Tenghai appeared very helpless.
"I'm in a difficult situation right now. He ca to borrow money from , how could I refuse?"
"Then that guy must have run away."
"Damn it, he ran away after scamming fifty million from , damn his ancestors!"
Recently, Min Tenghai's inco was continuously decreasing, and fifty million was by no ans a small amount to him.
Initially hoping Gong Shanhai would help him through the crisis, unexpectedly, not only wasn't the crisis resolved, but he was also scamd.
Gan Qiu then continued.
"Your situation is becoming more and more difficult. Why not ask your brother to co out and take charge?"
"I've already contacted him, and he has agreed to return during the Spring Festival."
Here, Min Tenghai shook his head helplessly.
"My brother is getting on in years, and if I had any other choice, I certainly wouldn't make him co out of retirent."
"Actually, your decision is correct. The only person who can bring you back from the brink is your brother! Once he returns, rember to contact . I would like to catch up with him."
"No problem!"
After the eting, both parties investigated the whereabouts of Gong Shanhai and his wife.
However, they found nothing at all.
Gan Qiu increasingly felt that sothing happened to Gong Shanhai!
He was about to step down and if sothing went wrong now, it would be a huge problem.
Thinking of this, Gan Qiu beca even more worried...
