Chen Dong looked at Qi Tongwei with a puzzled expression, then looked at Zhong Xiaoai with a serious expression.

"Director Zhong, shall we assemble now?"

"This is not appropriate. Huang Feipeng must not have escaped from here yet. What we should do now is to continue to seal off the scene. We must not let Huang Feipeng get away with it."

Zhong Xiaoai glared at Chen Dong; how could she not know this principle?

The problem is that this involves an academician, not an ordinary person. If something were to happen to her in this fire, even the Zhong family wouldn't be able to protect her.

Although she still had doubts about the matter, she was sure that Zhao Donglai wouldn't joke about something like this.

Zhong Xiaoai waved her hand irritably.

"Stop talking nonsense. Do what I tell you. Hurry up and get everyone together. Also, notify the prisoners who were just transferred to come back."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong's face stiffened, then he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Qi Tongwei glanced at the gradually diminishing fire, then shook his head slightly.

"There's no need for Director Zhong to handle this matter."

"Old Zhao, the fire is under control now. Take our men and search the area quickly."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Donglai nodded quickly, responded, and then led his men towards the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Zhong Xiaoai frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

After thinking for a while, Zhong Xiaoai waved to Chen Dong and then led him toward the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

She had to keep a close watch on things to prevent Zhao Donglai and his men from doing anything underhanded.

Qi Tongwei watched the two leave and breathed a sigh of relief. He then took out his phone, edited a text message, and sent it to Cheng Du.

Now, all I hope is that Huang Feipeng can escape. The only way I can think of to escape is by water.

With Huang Feipeng's intelligence, he must have been able to come up with it.

Qi Tongwei breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling that he still needed to explain this matter to Cheng Du, just in case something went wrong.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei dialed Cheng Du's number.

……

At the same time, Cheng Du watched the ship gradually sail into the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.

These past few days have been extremely agonizing for him.

Caught between Qi Tongwei and Zhao Ruilong, he was in a dilemma.

He had to be careful about his actions at all times, for fear of being discovered by Zhao Ruilong.

At that point, he'll only have one path left: death.

However, as time went on, Zhao Ruilong's decline became obvious, and victory was within reach.

These agonizing days are finally over.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Ruilong, who was originally prepared to take a risky move, suddenly stood up.

They led their men to prepare to start working on the Dafeng factory.

Cheng Du's heart jumped into his throat. Just as he was getting anxious, Zhao Ruilong suddenly ran away again.

Cheng Du stared blankly at the scenery not far away, shaking his head slightly. This development was too unexpected.

Thinking of Zhao Ruilong's anxious appearance just now, Cheng Du was completely confused. Could it be that something had happened that he didn't know about?

Cheng Du gently exhaled a breath of stale air, thinking that this would help him relax a bit.

Ideally, Zhao Ruilong would never come back; that way, I could be considered free.

Just as he was about to go back, the phone rang.

Cheng Du frowned slightly, and when he saw that it was Qi Tongwei calling, he quickly answered. Just as he was about to tell him about Zhao Ruilong, Qi Tongwei's voice came through.

"Chengdu, take your men to the dock and wait. Once you spot Huang Feipeng, protect him and make sure he gets on the ship safely."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Du swallowed back the words he was about to say. It seemed that something big had happened today; otherwise, Zhao Ruilong and Huang Feipeng would not have left Handong one after another.

Qi Tongwei on the other end of the phone continued.

"This matter is of great importance, you must handle it well. As long as you get Huang Feipeng out of here, the position of director of the municipal bureau will be yours."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Du's breathing became heavy. Of course, the position of the municipal bureau chief was very tempting to him, but the most important thing was the meaning behind Qi Tongwei's words.

Chen Hai's case is not completely over yet. Although Chang Chenghu has been thrown out, Cheng Du is still uneasy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to infiltrate Zhao Ruilong's camp, all in the hopes of finding a way out of this mess.

Now that Qi Tongwei has promised him the position of director of the municipal bureau, doesn't that mean that Qi Tongwei has already pulled him out of Chen Hai's case?

Even if not, Qi Tongwei would do his best to protect himself.

Thinking of this, Cheng Du narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Governor Qi, I will definitely handle this matter well."

Qi Tongwei nodded in satisfaction; he trusted Cheng Du's abilities to get things done.

But considering the current situation, Qi Tongwei continued.

"In this matter, the Anti-Corruption Bureau will likely try to obstruct us. If you encounter them, do not hesitate; Huang Feipeng's safety is the top priority."

"We must not let Huang Feipeng be taken away. If necessary, we can take some tough measures."

Upon hearing this, Cheng frowned slightly, then nodded vigorously.

"I understand, Governor Qi."

Hearing this, Qi Tongwei hung up the phone with satisfaction. Now, all he could do was pray.

As for the academician who was detained in the anti-corruption bureau...

Qi Tongwei didn't really care; in fact, he hoped the academician would perish in the fire.

In that case, Zhong Xiaoai and the Anti-Corruption Bureau will be in big trouble.

She won't be able to care about Huang Feipeng's whereabouts then, and Huang Feipeng will be able to leave successfully.

When everything settled down, Huang Feipeng returned to Handong, and Handong was once again under their control.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei let out a slight sigh of relief, looked at the few people busy not far away, and walked over.

At that moment, Cheng Du, who was at the dock, immediately made a phone call.

Since Qi Tongwei has said that if necessary, tough measures can be taken, then we can't call on ordinary people.

In the Guangming District, his old subordinate, Wu Li, was such a daring and hardworking person.

The phone rang for a while, and then a dull voice came through.

"Director Cheng, what made you decide to call me?"

Cheng Du smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Old Wu, I need to ask you for a favor."

"Bring our old brothers and weapons to the dock later. I'll be waiting for you here."

Upon hearing this, Wu Li wisely refrained from asking what had happened and simply said calmly.

"Yes, I'll take people there right away."
