Chapter 3931: Chapter 3919: Pursuit Across a Thousand Miles
As soon as the word ’muddy the waters’ came up, Zhang Qingyu knew that Lin Yi didn’t see him as a leader but more like two friends chatting.
Silently, Zhang Qingyu lit a cigarette and quietly took a few puffs.
If this matter hadn’t been exposed, his approach would be to muddy the waters.
Just making the surface look good, but it might be rotten inside.
And over the years, the reputations of Qin Yuejin, Xu Jiachun, and Ma Anchen have somewhat been heard, and indeed some people have responded to him.
But as Lin Yi said, his handling of things has generally just been muddying the waters, without solving the fundamental problems.
If his attitude were a bit more serious, his methods a bit more ruthless, maybe there wouldn’t be so many issues.
"Small problems not solved will turn into big problems, so now, here comes a problem, Director Zhang, wouldn’t you say?"
"Your behavior logic, kid, is different from ours."
"Because I can foresee the results, when the results don’t satisfy me, I resolve the issues in my own way."
"Alright, don’t do this next time, talk to me if something comes up, I’ll do my best to help you handle it."
"Sure."
He drank the tea in his cup, "Leader, I’ll be leaving first."
"Go ahead."
Returning to the office, Feng Chengrong, Zhou Li, and others hadn’t left yet.
Seeing Lin Yi come back, they all approached him.
"What did Director Zhang say to you?"
"Nothing much, just some casual chat."
"How are Ma Anchen and his team handling things?"
"Didn’t discuss it, I don’t know the specifics of how it’s handled either."
"As long as it hasn’t affected you, it’s fine."
"Nothing’s wrong with me, don’t worry." Lin Yi stretched his body, "It’s getting late, let’s clock out."
...
The next morning, Lin Yi went to work as usual, but received a call from Xiao Bing while on the road.
"Lin Bro, we found information on that car, it’s appeared in Gaoshun County."
"Where’s that place? How far is it from Zhong Hai?"
"About 900 kilometers away, quite a poor area."
"Do we have a specific location? Have we found the driver?"
"Haven’t found him yet, just someone saw the car appear in the county, we’ll need to investigate further. Should I go there?"
"No need for the trouble, the information we have is enough." Lin Yi said:
"Provide this information anonymously to the Spring City Second Bridge Police Station, don’t waste time."
"Alright."
After finishing the simple communication, Lin Yi hung up and drove to the TV station.
Upon reaching the office, Zhou Li and Ma Jun were packing their things.
"Glad you’re here, hurry and clock in, we’re heading to the Spring City Second Bridge Police Station."
"What’s up?" Lin Yi knowingly asked.
"The police station got the news, the car that took Sun Dandan appeared in Gaoshun County, we’re going there now."
"Alright."
Lin Yi didn’t delay, the three of them drove to the Spring City Second Bridge Police Station and met Ma Wenliang and Chen Fangjin.
"We’re setting off now, we’ll drive there, and our colleagues from there will meet us as we arrive, you can choose to drive or take the high-speed train."
"No high-speed train in Gaoshun County, right?"
"We would take the train to their provincial capital, it’ll take about six to seven hours to get there." Ma Wenliang said.
"In that case, driving would be better." Lin Yi said.
"Let’s get moving now, let’s hurry because time is of the essence." Ma Wenliang said:
"Our speed might be faster, but you don’t have to rush, just be safe."
"Alright."
They divided into two groups, Lin Yi, Zhou Li, and Ma Jun got into their car, set the route, and headed towards Gaoshun County.
Just after reaching the highway entrance, a foot down on the gas pedal accelerated the car to 120, leaving Ma Wenliang and others far behind, not even seeing the tail lights of Lin Yi’s car.
On the highway, Lin Yi’s speed stayed around 180 km/h.
But this wasn’t his limit, it was the car’s bottom line; going faster might cause it to fall apart.
About six hours later, Lin Yi drove into Gaoshun County.
Upon entering the city, he realized the economic development here was really lacking, with few tall buildings, akin to returning to pre-liberation times.
Having arrived, Zhou Li called Ma Wenliang.
"Captain Ma, we’re here, what about you?"
"Ah?!"
Ma Wenliang was surprised: "You got there in just six hours? I thought you were left behind."
"Lin Yi drives fast, we didn’t waste any time either."
"Find a place to rest for a bit, we need about 40 more minutes to get there."
"Alright."
After hanging up the call, Zhou Li said:
"They need another 40 minutes, let’s find a place to eat, I’m starving."
"Let’s go."
The three went to a local restaurant, ordered some dishes, the taste was mediocre, but none of them were picky about it.
Having finished eating, Ma Wenliang and others arrived, together they headed to the county police headquarters.
The person in charge of reception was Xu Zhengqi, with a colleague beside him, a woman in her thirties named Zhang Jiajia.
"We’ve reviewed the information you sent over, found the car at a dog meat restaurant." Xu Zhengqi said.
"Now? Is the car still there?"
"It’s been driven to a fishing village, our colleagues are watching over, we’re heading there now, but need to be cautious and not alert them."
"Alright."
Ma Wenliang and the others didn’t have time for eating, and returned to their car.
At this moment, Zhang Jiajia reached out to stop Lin Yi and his team’s car.
"You should stay here, the capture process could be dangerous, plus, your presence might alert them, wait till we apprehend the suspects and then conduct your interview."
"Can’t we stay at a distance? I promise we won’t interfere with your operations." Zhou Li said.
"No need to be so insistent, once we capture them, you can interview them just the same."
It’s clear that Zhang Jiajia didn’t want Lin Yi and his team following, worried they’d obstruct the operation.
"We want to shadow the operation entirely for authenticity, but don’t worry, we’ll definitely follow instructions and won’t cause any issues."
Zhang Jiajia looked at Xu Zhengqi, waiting for his decision.
"Let them go along, but they must follow orders, this isn’t a joke, otherwise they’ll be in danger too."
Xu Zhengqi spoke, and no one else objected, together they headed towards the fishing village.
"Sister Li, you’ll stay in the car later, Brother Jun and I’ll go down."
Zhou Li nodded, knowing it’s not appropriate for a woman to take part in such actions, staying in the car at the destination was the wisest choice.
"Be careful you guys, don’t cause trouble for them, and ensure safety, heard those traffickers are ruthless, capable of anything."
