Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Li Dong is also a police officer and is equally familiar with police case-handling procedures.

Clearly, Liu Min had encountered some trouble, which is why she left her contact information when questioned by the police.

The police are most likely calling to ask him to come over and cooperate with their work!

However, judging from the other party's wording, they probably do not know Liu Min's specific situation or her workplace.

Liu Min likely did not reveal his own identity either.

Otherwise, knowing he was a police officer, the other party wouldn't have used such wording; they would have gone straight to the point.

The person on the other end of the phone gave a brief explanation: just now, a public security case had occurred in the jurisdiction of Chengguan Police Station.

A young woman committed suicide in a hotel in their jurisdiction.

Fortunately, the waiter noticed in time and took the person to the hospital, preventing an accident.

Because it involved a life, the police were bound to investigate. However, the woman refused to say anything and only gave them a phone number.

The Chengguan Police Station called to inquire about the situation from Li Dong and to ask him to bail out the person.

Clearly, Li Dong was also taken aback by what the person on the other end of the phone said.

Liu Min was actually preparing to commit suicide?

That's why they got to the hospital in time; otherwise, something terrible could have happened.

Li Dong couldn't understand why Liu Min had just attended his welcome banquet that evening, and everything seemed normal at the banquet.

At least there seemed to be no problem, so why did he suddenly commit suicide, and why did he commit suicide in a hotel?

Furthermore, why didn't Liu Min explain the specific circumstances after her suicide, but instead gave her contact number to the police station?

All of the above events gave Li Dong a premonition that tonight's events were not simple.

Regardless of what Liu Min went through, tonight's incident is probably related to Guodong Mine!

Li Dong's voice suddenly rose, "What's the situation now?"

The police officer on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then said, "At present, we can rule out homicide and the possibility of a criminal case. The person is not in immediate danger."

"But she was very emotionally unstable and refused to cooperate with the police investigation."

"Especially when we asked about their workplace, they clearly showed a lot of resistance."

"When pressed further, they only told us your name and phone number, saying they knew you."

“We’re calling this hoping you can come over and help us persuade her, cooperate with us in making a statement, and also process her temporary bail.”

When Li Dong answered the phone, he didn't deliberately avoid Song Ci, and he also turned the phone on speakerphone.

If it were normal business, he would definitely nod and agree without hesitation.

But this call was clearly a private matter. It was so late, and it involved a girl, so he definitely had to let Song Ci know.

So just as Li Dong turned to ask for his opinion, Song Ci nodded, indicating that Li Dong should handle the matter normally.

Although Song Ci had never met Liu Min, she knew who she was.

The clerk in the police station was also Li Dong's colleague.

Now that the call had come in, and given the life-or-death situation, Song Ci certainly couldn't stop Li Dong at this crucial moment.

Having received Song Ci's consent, Li Dong nodded, his tone now carrying the seriousness and urgency of a policeman, "Which hospital is she in now? I'll be there right away!"

It's no wonder Li Dong reacted this way; Liu Min was the first colleague he met at Guodong Mine.

It was also the key to his plan to understand the relevant situation at the mine and open up new possibilities.

Putting aside her duties, let's just talk about Liu Min's current situation.

The fact that Liu Min could give him his phone number at this time shows that she has absolute trust in him, so he can't just sit idly by.

After learning the hospital's name and ward details from the hospital, Li Dong hung up the phone.

The living room fell silent again, but this silence lacked the ambiguity and heat of before, leaving only an unspeakable heaviness and helplessness.

Li Dong looked at Song Ci, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times. A thousand words were stuck in his chest, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

Song Ci had already composed herself. "Go ahead, do you want me to come with you?"

Li Dong shook his head. "No need. I didn't drink much tonight, and so much time has passed. Driving shouldn't be a problem."

"It's over here..."

Song Ci explained, "I have to pack my luggage because I'm going on a business trip tomorrow."

"Go ahead and do your thing, I'll wait for you to come back."

Li Dong's tone was full of guilt. Before leaving, he gave Song Ci a deep hug, "I'm sorry, I've disappointed you again. I clearly promised to spend the night with you."

Li Dong could imagine Song Ci's disappointment; she was worried about not being home, as she had to go on a business trip to the provincial capital the next day.

They finally made up their minds to enjoy some precious time together, but were interrupted at the crucial moment.

Song Ci gently shook her head and took the initiative to get Li Dong's coat. "We are both police officers. It is our duty. How can we only think about personal feelings?"

"Besides, Liu Min is your colleague. You can't just stand by and watch her die, can you?"

"We have a long future ahead of us, and there will be many more opportunities in the future, so one night won't make a difference."

"Be careful after you get there. Call me back when you've taken care of things. I'll be waiting for you at home."

As she spoke, she gently and meticulously straightened Li Dong's wrinkled shirt collar.

Seeing Song Ci's sensible appearance, Li Dong felt even more guilty and kissed her forehead deeply, "Wait for me to come back!"

After saying that, Li Dong reluctantly let go of the person.

In just a few minutes, he had changed his clothes.

The tenderness and affection from before had faded from his brows and eyes, replaced by a more dignified and capable demeanor befitting a police officer.

Soon, Li Dong sped off into the night.

The carriage was quiet, with only the sound of wheels rolling over the road.

One hand gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his brows were furrowed.

He could guess to some extent what Liu Wenmin's situation was like.

He appears warm and cheerful, but in reality, he is caught in the middle of various levels of leadership in the mine, unable to control his own destiny, and harbors too many secrets.

Liu Min's sudden suicide was by no means accidental; she was most likely driven to desperation by something.

Now that Liu Min is refusing to cooperate with the police investigation and has only given out her phone number, it's either because she's really desperate and has no other choice but to ask me for help.

Or there's another reason, and they want to convey some message through you!

Thinking of this, Li Dong sped up his car a few more times.

He knew that this matter was probably not so simple.

This not only concerns Liu Min's safety, but may also involve some secrets of the mine.

But whatever it is, Li Dong has a premonition that tonight might bring him further access to the mine's core secrets!

A dozen minutes later, Li Dong arrived at the hospital the police had mentioned.

After stepping out of the elevator, a faint smell of disinfectant filled the air.

Without even looking, a uniformed police officer was already in a conspicuous position in the corridor not far away.
