Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Yang Zhenhua's forehead was sweating. He was about to continue explaining when Township Chief Zhang suddenly interrupted with a smile, "Reporter Xiao, you're joking. We certainly welcome media scrutiny."

"It's just that the road conditions in Hexi Village are bad, and I'm afraid it will delay the progress of the interview."

"How about this, since Reporter Xiao insists on going to Hexi Village, Comrade Li Dong will accompany him."

"But...Officer Li, you must remember that interviews must be objective and fair, without any personal emotions."

Li Dong nodded calmly, "Please rest assured, leader. I will fully cooperate with the interview."

Xiao Yuqing also expressed her support, saying, "Thank you to all the township leaders for your support of our work."

"There's no need for the township to arrange accompanying personnel, which will also demonstrate the objectivity of our news work."

"With Officer Jiang and Officer Li accompanying us, I'm confident nothing will go wrong."

Director Zhou asked, "Reporter Xiao, why don't you go back to our government cafeteria for lunch? I'll arrange for the staff to prepare it."

Xiao Yuqing declined, "No need, we can just take care of it downstairs."

"Given Comrade Li Dong's popularity, I believe that providing lunch shouldn't be a problem."

After everyone had left, Yang Zhenhua stepped forward and asked, "Village Chief Li, why didn't you stop them just now?"

"That Li Dong is not a man who follows the rules."

"If we really get down there, the situation will be out of control. I'm worried..."

Zhang Weimin asked, "What do you want me to do? Stop the reporters from interviewing?"

"He's a reporter from the provincial TV station. The city has already reported this. His interview is legal and compliant. Who dares to stop him?"

"Besides, he didn't come here empty-handed. He brought Jiang Lan with him."

"Minister Jiang's beloved daughter is here, how can we stop him?"

Yang Zhenhua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice, "Village Chief Zhang, that's not what I meant."

"I mean... should we send two smart police officers to follow?"

"What if Li Dong talks nonsense down there..."

Zhang Weimin narrowed his eyes, put his hands behind his back and said, "Old Yang, you're the head of the Minjin Township Police Station now. Why are you still so impatient?"

"If Li Dong really wanted to cause trouble, he would have already broken the sky."

"Now that his transfer order has come down, is there any need to make himself unhappy on his last day?"

"Even if something does happen, what good will it do him?"

"Also, if these reporters really wanted to cause trouble, would they have contacted us directly?"

Yang Zhenhua's eyes lit up. "Village Head Zhang, are you saying these provincial reporters are here to extort money?"

Zhang Weimin analyzed: "If you really want to verify the news clues, you must conduct an undercover investigation."

"Since this isn't a secret investigation, it means there's still room for improvement!"

"Besides, how can we conduct secret investigations if we bring the city police with us? Which villager would dare to report the situation to them?"

"I guess this young reporter also wants to show that they have no hostility by making such an arrangement!"

"As for the interview with Li Dong?"

"It's just a publicity stunt to increase the weight of this press release!"

Yang Zhenhua gave a thumbs up and said, "Village Chief Zhang is really smart. Why didn't I think of this?"

Zhang Weimin said, "Didn't your institute hold a farewell party tonight?"

"When the time comes, we'll use this excuse to call everyone back in advance, and invite Reporter Xiao to join us as well."

"Let's make this farewell party more lively. The township will provide some funds for the event."

"Your agency should also spend some of its case handling funds, hoping to shut these people up."

"If I have time, I'll go with you!"

Yang Zhenhua cursed the old fox inwardly.

Yang Zhenhua was invited to participate before, but he couldn't refuse for fear of offending the big boss who had criticized Li Dong.

As a result, when he saw Minister Jiang's daughter, he couldn't help but curry favor with her.

Zhang Weimin continued to remind him, "Of course, we can't be careless."

"Your station is in Hexi Village. Don't you have a few joint defense team members left here?"

"Say hello to them and keep a close eye on these people!"

Yang Zhenhua nodded, "That's the only way."

Turning around, Zhang Weimin continued to instruct, "Director Zhou, go call the village committee of Hexi Village."

"Just say the provincial TV station's reporters are there, and tell them to keep the villagers' mouths shut."

"Also, find two trustworthy villagers to quietly follow behind..."

Just as Li Dong left the township government compound, the killer was keeping a close eye on them in the dark.

The specific situation is unclear, but it looks like a reporter came to interview.

With such a big scene in the hospital and the police accompanying them, it must be a very important news organization.

But the most eye-catching ones are the two women.

That female reporter is fine, but the policewoman following her is also a stunning beauty.

The assassin leader couldn't help but feel regretful when he thought that these two beauties were going to die today.

This Li Dong is really lucky.

I sent him off today, and he actually found a beautiful woman to accompany him.

What does an old saying in the East say?

To die under the peonies is to be a ghost.

Thinking of this, the assassin leader grinned, "If that's the case, then I'll grant your wish!"

In the car.

Jiang Lan looked in the rearview mirror until the village buildings were out of sight, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

This is my first time participating in a joint operation led by Guoan, and cooperating with Li Dong. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.

Xiao Yuqing said: "No need to look, there should be no tail."

"I brought you along this time to make my stance clear. I'm not here to cause trouble."

"If that Township Chief Zhang was a smart man, he wouldn't have sent anyone to follow him."

Jiang Lan nodded and asked, "Did we perform well just now?"

Xiao Yuqing shook her head, "I don't know either."

"If the killer really has any plans tonight, he will definitely keep an eye on Li Dong's actions."

"With such a big scene just now, there's no way he didn't see it."

"Now that the bait has been spread, all that's left is to wait for him to bite!"

Jiang Lan frowned, "But Minjin Township is so big, at which stage will he make his move?"

Xiao Yuqing did not give an answer, but turned her head to look at Li Dong who was driving.

After exchanging a glance, Li Dong was the first to give the answer, "The institute's farewell party!"

Jiang Lan frowned. "You mean the farewell party that the Minjin Township Police Station is hosting for you and Xiao Ding tonight?"

Xiao Yuqing also immediately analyzed: "That's right, the killer changed his target to Qin Zhiyuan last night, which shows that he is an extremely arrogant and crazy guy who dares to provoke the police."

"Just getting rid of Li Dong shouldn't be enough for him to avenge his previous humiliation."

"The safest method is to take action at today's banquet."

"This way, we can not only get rid of Li Dong, but also create a shocking crime. This is in line with the terrorists' style of operation!"

"If I'm not mistaken, he might plant a bomb at the party!"
