Li Zihui was not surprised. Li Yuanlang's move just showed that he was concerned about the difficult problems encountered by Pingzhuang Coal Mine.

The car drove on the highway and entered Shenlin County in less than an hour.

Turn off the highway ahead and enter the provincial highway.

Pingzhuang Coal Mine is located in Doujiahe Town, Shenlin County.

Transportation here is convenient, with the nearest highway no more than thirty kilometers away.

There is also a dedicated railway line that goes to various places through Doujiahe Railway Station.

This coal mine originally belonged to the Lanqiao Mining Bureau.

After the restructuring, the Lanqiao Mining Bureau was abolished, ten nearby coal mines were integrated, and Pingzhuang Coal Mine Group Co., Ltd. was established.

In the past few years, the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission took the lead to integrate coal mining enterprises again, and established Pingchuan Coal Mining Group based on five large state-owned coal mining enterprises. The headquarters is located in Keqi City, the provincial capital, and Pingzhuang Coal Mine has become a branch of the group.

Li Yuanlang went to Pingzhuang Coal Mine on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival to inspect the situation of excessive mining in small coal mines.

From Li Zihui's feedback and his recent understanding, the facts stated in Pingzhuang Coal Mine were clear. Based on the idea that without investigation, there would be no right to speak, Li Yuanlang decided to take a look with his own eyes.

Without disturbing the Pingzhuang Coal Mine, Li Yuanlang asked Li Zihui to drive around the area.

First we came to a place called Scorpion Cliff. Under the guidance of a local fellow, the car passed through Scorpion Cliff Village and turned onto a narrow cement road that could only accommodate two cars walking side by side.

The road is full of potholes and has collapsed in many places, exposing river pebbles.

After driving for about a kilometer amid severe bumps, I saw a circle of blue fence in the distance.

The car stopped, Li Yuanlang opened the door and got out, and Li Zihui followed him.

The entire area was surrounded by blue colored steel fences, and the large black iron gate was closed tightly. Li Zihui lay in the crack of the door and watched, unable to see anything.

Apparently, this place is currently closed.

Li Yuanlang was well aware of this situation, as his superiors had repeatedly issued orders to strictly investigate illegal small coal mines.

The mine owners engaged in guerrilla warfare with the government, closing their doors on weekdays and secretly mining at night.

This phenomenon is very common and not surprising.

Li Yuanlang walked along the fence for a long time and found nothing.

As the sky grew brighter, my stomach growled.

"Secretary, there is food in the car. Please put a cushion first." Li Zihui reminded.

"Okay." Li Yuanlang agreed and got into the Honda car with Li Zihui.

"These are the rice dumplings made by my lover. Please try to see if they taste authentic." Li Zihui handed Li Yuanlang a plastic bag.

When unfolded, the refreshing fragrance of rice dumpling leaves instantly penetrates the nose.

The rice dumpling leaves are opened layer by layer, and the white glutinous rice and dark brown candied dates make people salivate and are very appetizing.

After taking a bite, it was sticky and sweet. Li Yuanlang was really hungry. He ate all the rice dumplings in three mouthfuls. He drank a few sips of warm tea and felt refreshed.

"Zi Hui, Ling Qiao is good at making zongzi."

Li Zihui handed over a peeled hard-boiled egg. There is a folk saying that not only rice dumplings but also eggs should be eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival, which means good luck and good luck, and pray that you will not get sick throughout the year.

After eating a rice dumpling and an egg, Li Yuanlang leaned back on his chair and looked at the large iron gate in the distance. He felt that today's trip was in vain and he might not gain much.

Just as he was about to let Li Zihui drive back, he suddenly saw a small black dot hovering in the sky not far away.

As the small black spot got closer and closer, and there was a buzzing sound, Li Yuanlang judged that it was actually a drone.

"Secretary, look."

Li Yuanlang opened the door and got out of the car, put up a pergola with his hands and looked up to the sky, and said to Li Zihui: "How come there are drones in this place?"

Li Zihui was also puzzled and guessed: "There may be people interested in small coal mines and flying drones to investigate."

"It's possible."

If there is a drone, there must be a controller.

Li Yuanlang and Li Zihui followed the direction of the drone and began to look for this person nearby.

The two of them walked along the fence for a short half circle when Li Zihui suddenly bent down, pointed to the grass in front of him, and whispered to Li Yuanlang: "Look, is that an antenna?"

Looking in the direction of Li Zihui's finger, two shiny things emerged from the grass, piercing his eyes in the sun.

"Let's go to the left and right." Li Yuanlang made a gesture, and Li Zihui understood and quietly turned to the other side.

As we got closer and closer, we finally saw a figure in the grass, holding the handle in both hands and watching the screen of the phone with relish.

So when Li Yuanlang and Li Zihui arrived, he was completely unaware.

This is a young man in his twenties, wearing ordinary clothes, disheveled hair, and a pair of thick bottle-bottom glasses.

Lying on the grass, staring at the phone screen without blinking.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Li Zihui stood beside the man and asked with a serious face.

ah!

The man with glasses was so frightened by Li Zihui's sudden shout that his whole body trembled.

His hands shook and the handle fell to the ground. He got up instinctively and stared at Li Zihui dumbfounded, and then at Li Yuanlang, feeling at a loss for a moment.

Li Yuanlang smiled and asked softly why the man in glasses released the drone here.

His expression was calm, not as severe as Li Zihui's.

The man with glasses pointed to the sky, and it took him a long time to say a few words: "I'm here, playing."

"Don't be nervous. We were just passing by. We saw the drone out of curiosity. Young man, can I take a look at this?" Li Yuanlang pointed to the handle on the ground.

"I, I..." Apparently, the man with glasses was very vigilant and kept grabbing his pants line with both hands.

Seeing this, Li Zihui bent down to pick up the handle and handed it to Li Yuanlang to see.

Li Yuanlang had never controlled a drone before, so he calmly asked the man in glasses how to operate it.

The man with glasses had no choice but to tell the truth and even helped guide Li Yuanlang with his own hands.

Through the screen of his mobile phone, Li Yuanlang saw some large equipment parked inside the enclosure and also found the entrance to the mine.

Although it is also surrounded by fences, traces of use are still vaguely visible.

At the same time, Li Yuanlang suddenly discovered that three strong men ran out of the house at the gate, gestured at the drone, and ran towards the gate, surely looking for the drone operator.

"Quick, let's retreat!"

Li Yuanlang gave an order and called on Li Zihui and the man with glasses to run towards the Honda car.

The three of them got into the car one after another, and Li Zihui started quickly.

When they were reversing, three strong men had already spotted them and were running towards them with all their strength.

Fortunately, Li Zihui was very skilled and could reverse the car in one go, raising a puff of dust and driving away from here quickly.

The three of them were left jumping to their feet and cursing, and hurriedly ran into the courtyard, drove a white van, and quickly chased them out.

A thrilling chase drama was officially staged.

Li Yuanlang in the car was in a calm mood, but the man with glasses sitting next to him was extremely nervous. He kept turning his face and looking at the rear window, muttering: "It's broken, a car is catching up with me."

Li Yuanlang looked back and told Li Zihui, "Go to Shenlin County and go directly to the county committee."

"Okay!" Li Zihui agreed and stepped on the accelerator hard.

The Honda accelerated its speed and rushed out in a flash, roaring through Xieziya Village and heading straight to Shenlin County.

Shenlin County has many mountains, dense forests, and rich mineral resources.

The former Jiuyuan Mining was located in Shenlin County.

The removal of criminals led by Huang Yuanlong, as well as former county party secretary Wang Hui and former county magistrate Yin Yihuan, all took place in Shenlin County.

Li Yuanlang looked out of the car window, thinking a lot, and didn't care at all that the van was chasing after him.

"Hurry up, they are about to catch up." The man with glasses panicked and stamped his feet anxiously.

Li Zihui speeded up. After all, this Honda CR was faster than the outdated van behind it.

Although the road conditions were not good, he felt confident and was as relaxed as Li Yuanlang.

Not long after the car left Xieziya Village, according to the navigation display, Doujiahe Town was ahead.

Li Zihui took the steering wheel and turned a corner very calmly. A densely packed building suddenly appeared in the distance in front of him, which was Doujiahe Town.

"Secretary, that is Doujiahe Town." Li Zihui said, pointing to Li Yuanlang.

Li Yuanlang followed Li Zihui's hand and suddenly reminded loudly: "Zihui, be careful!"

Li Zihui turned his face and looked shocked.

On the road about fifty meters ahead, there was a large truck parked sideways.

He quickly pressed the brake with his right foot and turned the steering wheel sharply to the left.
Chapter completed!
