Chapter 628: Chapter 417: Absolutely Unafraid (Double-length) (Part 2)

"Alright, you two, now is not the time for a dispute." The speaker was an elder in the family, belonging to the lineage of Old George.

"That team hasn’t reported back on time, there must have been some incident inside. We need to consider whether to send more people there to figure out what’s happened."

Everyone around the round table nodded in agreement.

"We must send people, otherwise who will make up for the loss."

"I propose sending two groups directly, fully armed, flying from Nepal by helicopter."

"Agreed."

"Agreed..."

As everyone expressed their positions, De Gaulle, sitting at the head of the table, scanned the room and finally announced the decision: "Since everyone agrees, let’s arrange people to prepare. We’ll head out tonight."

Actually, he wasn’t particularly interested in that place, Shambala. Since the map’s secret had already been unraveled, why waste energy there?

It would be more practical to buy some oil fields in Zhongdongto and consolidate the family company’s position in the energy market...

However, he currently lacked sufficient supporters in the round table meeting, so he couldn’t oppose the majority’s decision.

After the meeting dispersed, De Gaulle went to the office and dialed Qi Yun’s number.

As soon as the call connected, he asked straightforwardly, "Qi, did you take care of that team?"

Qi Yun sneered, "What? Is Mr. De Gaulle here to hold me accountable?"

"Please don’t forget, it was you who broke the agreement first."

De Gaulle was silent for two seconds, then sighed, "Qi, I don’t wish to be your enemy."

Qi Yun wasn’t buying it, his tone remained icy: "If you don’t want to be enemies, then stop scheming for that place."

"Believe me, you won’t gain anything."

...

On the other side, Old Eagle, following Qi Yun’s orders, took care of those people and then drove to the New District Branch, handing a file bag to Zhang Dayong and explaining the situation.

Actually, last month Zhang Dayong also arranged for people to investigate the flour issue, but they only caught small fries, nothing big.

"Li the Eighth!?"

When Zhang Dayong heard Old Eagle mention this name, he raised his head in surprise.

Though he had only been transferred to Bird City for six months, the first thing they do in this line of work before starting is to understand the people in various local circles.

Li the Eighth wasn’t from the New District, but he had heard of this name.

The other people in the documentation were passable, but dealing with Li the Eighth seemed tricky.

Not to mention the issue of cross-district law enforcement, just based on the person’s identity, without the prosecutor’s paperwork, they couldn’t recklessly bring him back.

"What did Qi Yun say?"

Old Eagle shook his head, "The boss only instructed me to hand these evidence over to you; there are no other specific instructions."

Zhang Dayong frowned, no specific instructions meant he had to decide for himself...

"Understood, you can go back now."

Old Eagle said no more and turned to leave the office.

After he left, Zhang Dayong lit a cigarette and pondered how to handle this matter.

He naturally hoped to wipe out all these pests, since wearing this uniform, he should live up to his conscience.

But with the evidence Old Eagle brought, it’s only enough to shut down a few grain and oil stores and catch Brother Qiu, but not enough to nail Li the Eighth down.

For now, the only plan was to first catch those below and see if they can be squeezed for information to bite Li the Eighth.

Once the evidence is enough to nail him, then they can study how to deal with him...

Having made a decision, Zhang Dayong immediately gathered a few top aides and started discussing the operational matters.

At eleven o’clock at night, after an hour of intense arrangements, once the scouting personnel relayed exact information, several squad cars roared out of the courtyard.

Because it was a sudden raid and the news was very tightly sealed, Brother Qiu and his people received no wind of it, and were directly all taken down.

Once the people were brought back to the station, Zhang Dayong immediately arranged for personnel to carry out expedited interrogation. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

However, progress was not as good as expected.

Because flour, more than fifty grams, was essentially a death sentence.

Thus, those daring to work in this line are all reckless types licking their wounds at the edge of a knife, and their mouths are all firmly shut, even if evidence is thrown in their face, they still refuse to disclose.

With this, Zhang Dayong stayed up with them through the night.

The next day, as he left the interrogation room, just about to grab a bite at the cafeteria when the bureau’s call came through.

Since Ge Dabao took that person away last time and still hasn’t let him go, the one in charge now was indeed a temporary substitute, who didn’t have the same hostile attitude as his predecessor toward Zhang Dayong.

"Old Zhang, I heard your New District Branch had some action last night?"

"Yes, sir, last night we received a tip from a concerned citizen..." Zhang Dayong briefly recounted the matter.

"Is the evidence fixed?"

"A very few hard-necked individuals haven’t opened up yet, but with others’ testimonies and some direct evidence, it’s enough to convict them."

The other side paused after hearing, "Since that’s the case, I won’t say much more. I support your actions, but make sure you grasp the sense of proportion, understand what I mean?"

"Yes, I understand." Zhang Dayong said expressionlessly, clutching his phone.

He naturally understood the other side’s meaning by sense of proportion, simply advising him to take it easy, catching Brother Qiu and those small fries was enough, no need to dig deeper.

But he didn’t plan to stop here.

...

Past noon at twelve o’clock, not far from the airport’s runway, two Coasters were parked, with seven or eight people standing beside them.

Old Hou, who had once met Qi Yun, and Shao Yuewen’s father-in-law were among this group.

A few minutes later, a buzzing sound from the sky heralded the landing of a business jet on the airport runway.

With the cabin door open, several men wearing dark administrative jackets stepped off, led by an elderly man with gray hair and a face full of authority.

Trailing him by half a body length was also an elderly man, and if Qi Yun were here, he would find this man bore a resemblance to Ji Kai.

Old Hou hurriedly led the team forward and shook hands with the two elderly men.

"Hong BZ, Director Ji, it’s been a long journey, welcome."

The man addressed as Hong BZ patted his arm, "Ah, Old Hou, we haven’t seen each other for a while, you seem to be doing better and better."

Old Hou replied with a smile, "Haha, yes, it’s been nearly a year, Hong BZ, you don’t look bad yourself."

These two brief exchanges revealed their familiarity.

The Director Ji, conversely, said little after a brief greeting.

"Leaders, let’s get into the vehicle first. They have prepared a welcome reception over at SF." Shao Yuewen’s father-in-law interjected and invited the main ones into one of the Coasters, while accompanying personnel boarded the other.

The car doors closed, and the motorcade slowly moved away from the airport, heading toward the city.

Inside the lead vehicle, Hong BZ and Old Hou sat in a row, casually flipping through the industry handbook in front of him, "Old Hou, your leadership has seen ** develop remarkably well these past two years."

Old Hou chuckled and waved his hand, "The credit doesn’t belong to me alone; it’s the result of joint efforts from comrades."

Hong BZ nodded, "Yes, but I heard recently that the photovoltaic project didn’t stay with you and went to Shanghai instead, which must be quite a pity for you."

At this mention, Old Hou got a bit flustered, "Oh, yes, it’s a real pity. We originally had great advantages here."

"Hmm." Hong BZ casually continued, "I heard that the person in charge of the project was someone young named Qi Yun, right?"

...

Just half an hour after those two Coasters departed, Qi Yun also arrived at the airport in his Maybach.
