Perhaps the light was too harsh, so the man immediately hid his face in the darkness.

"Without further delay, we should act quickly while you are not wanted. I have arranged for someone to pick you up. You will first go to the border city in Linzhou and exit from there."

After that, he told Ruan Haiqing in detail the escape plan he designed for him.

Ruan Haiqing put down his phone and closed his eyes in pain.

Even though he had long thought that this day would come, when it actually came, he still felt extremely reluctant and sad.

Fortunately, he was prepared in advance. His wife sent his daughter abroad and stayed abroad as a study companion.

What he has to do is to get away from his hometown and relatives where he was born and raised for decades as soon as possible, go to the country in the east through the border, then travel many times and finally go to the place he longs for in the west, to reunite with his wife and daughter.

After dark, on the top floor of the family area of ​​a factory in the county.

This is a property that Ruan Haiqing registered in the name of his brother-in-law's parents and purchased.

Just like my brother-in-law's house, it is not a place for people to live in, but a place specially used to hide property.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary house.

But after entering, there is a security door, which can only be entered with a password.

Both bedrooms use anti-theft doors and fingerprint password locks, and the rooms have been specially treated. Even the windows can be seen clearly from the inside, but the outside can never see inside.

Of these two bedrooms, one stores antique calligraphy and paintings, and the other stores valuables such as money and jewelry.

He couldn't take away the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, so he had to give them up.

And there was too much cash, and he couldn't carry it all away at once.

Fortunately, I was prepared in advance and put on a special set of shirts and underpants with more than a dozen pockets.

The money in every pocket is foreign currency. Anyway, if you need this kind of money to go abroad, you can spend it anywhere.

And he only carried a briefcase with tens of thousands of dollars in it for emergencies.

Ruan Haiqing reluctantly parted with the rest of the money.

Thinking about the wealth he had saved over twenty years of hard work, and only a very small part of it was actually taken away, Ruan Haiqing regretted it.

It would have been better if I had known it would be moved away. It would be a pity to leave it here for nothing.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Ruan Haiqing drove a black off-road vehicle and headed straight towards Yunyang in the dark.

I didn’t take the expressway, mainly county and rural roads.

Fortunately, I didn't find any tails following me along the way.

For safety reasons, Ruan Haiqing left his mobile phone at home and did not bring any communication equipment to prevent others from learning his whereabouts.

Anyway, I understood everything on the phone before, and I know his address and password very well, so just do as the other party asks.

About an hour and a half later, there was a fork in the road ahead.

Ruan Haiqing thought for a while, turned the steering wheel, and drove the off-road vehicle to the small road on the left.

This path is full of potholes and bumps. Sitting on it is like a rocking car, with severe bumps.

The car was not going very fast and we walked unsteadily for about forty minutes. A black building appeared in front of us, looking mysterious and eerie in the night.

Following the guidance of the car lights, the off-road vehicle finally drove to the gate of the building.

This should be an abandoned factory, surrounded by tall poplar trees.

It swayed in the night wind and made a rustling sound.

Ruan Haiqing raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was ten minutes ahead of the agreed time.

Parking the car in a corner not far from the gate, turning off the engine and lights, Ruan Haiqing opened his eyes and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

He didn't know which direction the responder was coming from, so he could only check both ends of the path from time to time.

Just in case, Ruan Haiqing also took out a pistol obtained through special channels and placed it next to him.

Time passed by in minutes and seconds. At this time, Ruan Haiqing's heart was in his throat, his hands holding the steering wheel were full of sweat.

For some reason, Ruan Haiqing had never been so nervous before, and his heart was beating fast.

He swallowed hard, looked at his watch for a while, and then looked at both ends of the road.

Why haven't you come yet? Seeing that it was almost the scheduled time, Ruan Haiqing couldn't sit still.

It's just that he doesn't have a mobile phone, and it would be useless if he had one. He doesn't know the number of the caller and can't contact him at all.

He almost counted down the seconds, but just ten seconds after the hands passed by, suddenly, two beams of light appeared from the other side of the road.

Slowly, the lights slowly moved towards here while swaying, getting closer and closer.

Less than thirty meters away from the gate, the car suddenly stopped.

Obviously, the other party has discovered Ruan Haiqing's off-road vehicle.

The other party's car suddenly turned off its lights, then turned them on and flashed three times in succession.

This is the connector password.

Ruan Haiqing felt ecstatic in his heart and immediately started the car and responded to the other party's turn on the lights.

Seeing Ruan Haiqing give the right signal, the black SUV drove slowly to Ruan Haiqing.

The car stopped and a person stepped out of the cab.

Affected by the dazzling light, Ruan Haiqing could not see clearly the appearance of the person coming. He could only roughly make out his outline. He was quite tall.

Wearing sunglasses and a hooded hat on his head, covering most of his face, he walked over to Ruan Haiqing and tapped on the car window with his fingers.

Ruan Haiqing lowered the car window, and the man asked coldly: "Are you Mr. Ruan?"

"It's me." Ruan Haiqing replied happily.

"Get in my car and leave immediately." After the man said that, he walked towards the SUV without looking back.

Ruan Haiqing observed vigilantly for a while, turned off the car engine, picked up the briefcase, and put the pistol into his coat pocket.

Following behind the tall man, Ruan Haiqing looked to the left and right as he walked to make sure there was no one else here.

The man got into the cab first. Ruan Haiqing hesitated and did not rush to get in the car.

"Come up quickly." The man opened the passenger door. Ruan Haiqing took the opportunity to look in the direction of the back seat. No one was there!

Only then did he feel relieved and lowered his body to sit in the passenger seat.

As soon as he sat firmly, he suddenly felt a cold thing pressing against the back of his head, and a cold voice came: "Don't move, raise your hands!"

Ruan Haiqing's heart sank and he secretly screamed: "No!" He instinctively reached for his coat pocket.

"Don't move, be honest, or the gun will go off!"

Something on the back of his head pushed hard, and the man wearing sunglasses grabbed Ruan Haiqing's hand that was about to take out the gun and took out the gun from his coat pocket with his other hand.

"You..." Ruan Haiqing raised his hands helplessly and asked in surprise: "Who are you?"

The man wearing sunglasses took out the handcuffs, cuffed Ruan Haiqing's hands, and said with a sneer: "Deputy County Magistrate Ruan, you can't even guess who we are now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a police car driving quickly from directly in front.

Three police officers got out and quickly ran over, pulled Ruan Haiqing out of the SUV and put him into the police car.

Ruan Haiqing, who sat in the back seat of the police car, closed his eyes in pain and kept mumbling: "It's over! It's over!"

Immediately, his head dropped deeply...

The next morning, as soon as Guangnan Mayor Xu Daotong entered the office, he received a call from Wei Qizheng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

"Mayor Xu, I have something to discuss with you. Please come to my office immediately."

Xu Daotong didn't think much and took his secretary by car to the municipal party committee building.

I knocked on the door and came in, and I was shocked to see a man in uniform sitting in Wei Qizheng's office, with two young policemen in their twenties standing next to him.

Wei Qizheng was standing next to the man, his expression extremely unnatural.

Taking a closer look, the man sitting upright with a stern face was none other than Deputy Director Liu of the Provincial Public Security Department.

"Liu, Liu Ting..." Xu Daotong stuttered, looking surprised.

Deputy Director Liu stood up slowly, and the two men beside him had already walked to Xu Daotong.

"Xu Daotong, you are arrested in accordance with the law because you are suspected of participating in the case of Guangnan Magnesium Company's theft of state-owned resources."

Deputy Director Liu showed his arrest warrant,

Before Xu Daotong could react, one of the policemen took out handcuffs and cuffed Xu Daotong's hands.

Afterwards, two policemen held Xu Daotong's arms and took him away directly.

Deputy Director Liu turned around, glanced at Wei Qizheng, and said with a tight face: "Thank you, Secretary Wei, for your cooperation. I'll take my leave."

After that, he walked away with his head held high.

Wei Qi quickly walked to the window and looked down at Xu Daotong being stuffed into the police car.

Three police cars, with their lights flashing, slowly drove out of the municipal party committee compound and merged into the traffic.

Wei Qizheng was stunned. He never expected that Xu Daotong would be involved in the case of dolomite theft from the magnesium ore factory.

It turns out that I was bewitched by him and helped Li Hengfa and Li Yuanlang to dissent and prevent him from intervening in the pollution problem of the magnesium ore plant.

Now that I think about it, how stupid he must be, extremely stupid.
Chapter completed!
