Gu Baishun and the middle-aged man talked in the private room for almost forty minutes before they left.
After getting into the car, Gu Baishun looked at Guo Zhengdao in front of him and whispered: "Brother, you should be responsible for this line first."
"good."
Guo Zhengdao started the car and drove to the General Bureau.
…
In the courtyard of the National Bureau of Statistics, in a corridor.
Kong Zhengqi was dragged deep into the corridor by several members of the Discipline Inspection Team of the National Bureau of Statistics.
At this time, Kong Zhengqi looked very ugly, pushing and shoving with his hands, and cursing: "What are you doing riding on the horse? I have told you, my uncle has passed away!"
He was a little out of control, pushing and scolding, and had a very bad attitude.
The members of the disciplinary inspection team did not use violence against him, but patiently advised him: "Mr. Kong, calm down, we are just asking you for routine questioning. I can understand your mood, but..."
"You understand nothing!"
Kong Zhengqi cursed at the top of his lungs: "I think you just want to stir up trouble!"
Although he kept cursing, Kong Zhengqi still followed them inside.
Soon, they walked into a very spacious room with windows and very bright.
Kong Zhengqi was sitting on a chair, and he was not handcuffed, but there was someone guarding the door.
…
More than ten minutes later, Gu Baishun returned to the General Bureau.
As soon as he entered his office, a staff member from the disciplinary inspection team immediately knocked on the door and came in, reporting to him: "Gu Bureau, we have brought him back."
Gu Baishun was sitting on a chair, holding a document in his hand and reading it. Hearing this, he nodded casually: "Then just follow the normal procedure."
The staff member looked a little embarrassed and said softly: "But... some minor accidents happened..."
Gu Baishun raised his head, looked at him and asked, "What's the accident?"
The staff member replied: "Kong Zhenghui's father... passed away today."
Gu Baishun was a little surprised: "Is it such a coincidence?"
"Yes." The staff member nodded and said, "We didn't know about this situation before. We only found out about it when he was cursing people in the lobby."
Gu Baishun frowned: "He also cursed?"
The staff nodded again: "Yes, I have a bad temper..."
Gu Baishun lowered his head, thinking about something.
…
Dragon City, Confucius Family Courtyard.
Everyone stood in the yard, feeling a little dazed after hearing the news that Kong Zhengqi had been arrested.
Kong Zhenghui said a little distractedly: "What does he want to do? Is there something I can't talk about later and I have to call someone today?!"
As he spoke, he frowned and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
Zhou Tonghui hurriedly stopped him: "Don't make this call, it's not appropriate for us to talk to him."
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Su Tianbei: "Second brother, give him a shot."
Su Tianbei nodded: "Okay."
With that said, he took out his mobile phone, turned around and walked aside, and dialed the number.
…
Overall situation.
"Dip Lingling!"
There was a harsh phone ringing. Gu Baishun reached for the phone on the table and picked it up: "Hello, Su Tuan?"
Su Tianbei asked politely and in a low voice: "Gu Bureau, what's going on over there? I heard you arrested Kong Zhengqi?"
Gu Baishun was stunned for a moment: "We found you so soon?"
Su Tianbei explained: "No, I happen to be here at the Kong family. Mr. Kong is gone. Everyone should come and have a look."
After a pause, he asked in a very kind manner: "What's going on?"
Gu Baishun thought for a while and said: "It's nothing, it's a small matter and needs to be handled according to the procedures. It's really a coincidence. I didn't know that his uncle was gone today. Otherwise, I'll let him go through the formalities and go back.
Already."
Su Tianbei breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's do this first!"
"good."
Gu Baishun hung up the phone, sat at his desk, was silent for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head.
During the phone call, Gu Baishun didn't say anything about attending the funeral, and Su Tianbei didn't invite him either.
After all, for so many years, Gu Baishun and the Kong family had hardly spoken or moved around.
…
In the Kong Family Courtyard, Su Tianbei turned around and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. I'll be back soon."
Seeing Su Tianbei put down his mobile phone, Kong Zhenghui asked hurriedly: "Have you asked, what is going on?"
Su Tianbei comforted him: "He didn't say anything, but it's not a big deal. I just took him over to ask."
Kong Zhenghui's eyes flashed with a haze, and he sighed: "I don't understand. With this kind of relationship with us, he can do whatever he wants. Alas, it's really different."
Everyone was obviously emotional after hearing his words, but no one, including Yu Mingyuan, answered.
…
China District, Southern Corps Headquarters.
Several cars parked in the headquarters compound, and Jiangzhou walked out with a dozen guards.
Xiang Jingyang wore a military uniform and went downstairs to pick him up in person.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries and walked upstairs.
Xiang Jingyang looked at Jiangzhou sitting in front of him and couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you even here?"
Jiangzhou spread his hands and said jokingly: "Su Tianyu is a grown-up now, I have to come and pick him up."
After a pause, he added: "There is nothing I can do about the person the old man wants to see."
Xiang Jingyang smiled and said nothing.
The two soon came to a lounge, opened the door and walked in.
After closing the door, there were only two of them left inside. Xiang Jingyang turned around and joked: "How about we arrange some shows for the evening?"
Jiangzhou touched his waist a little helplessly: "No, I can't do any programs now. In the evening, let's have something light, just stir-fry cabbage with tomatoes, stir-fry potatoes with pumpkin, that'll be fine."
"You have such a unique taste!"
"Ha ha!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, sitting on the sofa and chatting.
…
Evening, sea.
The sun fell into the sea, like egg liquid spread out, dyeing half of the sea water golden yellow.
A cargo ship rides the wind and waves on the sea.
This ship, carrying Su Tianyu and his party, has been sailing on this sea for eight or nine days.
Some of the accompanying people were passing the time on the boat. Some were standing on the deck, looking at the sea view; some were sitting in the restaurant, enjoying the food.
Su Tianyu was not in that mood. He was lying on the bed in the cabin and looking at his mobile phone.
On the other side of the cabin, An Qiqi was sitting on a chair, reading a book quietly. Her face looked slightly pale.
Su Tianyu put down the phone, turned to look at her, and asked with some concern: "Are you feeling better? Are you still responding?"
An Qiqi put down the book and said to him: "I'm still a little dizzy..."
Su Tianyu stood up, walked over, stood behind her, gently massaged her temples, and comforted her: "Come on, we've already walked more than half of the way."
…
Washington, Tsing Yi Bureau.
In the conference room, Kang Dinghuang held a meeting with five or six of his military intelligence personnel.
He frowned and asked softly: "Is there still no news at all?"
A military intelligence officer replied: "Yes, no one knows where Su Tianyu left. He probably doesn't have any internal connections. We can't find out."
Kang Dinghuang pondered for a long time: "Don't worry, just wait... I don't believe he can disappear in the sea."
As soon as he finished speaking, his personal secretary came in from the outside, leaned into Kang Dinghuang's ear and said, "The person who sent the message over there in China District...!"
