Shi Zhixin, on the other hand, was completely unaware of this.

After hanging up Ji Xiuming's call, he slumped into a chair.

Even though he knew Qin Mao had been exposed before, he wasn't this worried.

After all, that person was originally an outsider who was forced to work for him after he had something on him.

He was only instructed to have his subordinates help collect antiques; as for anything else, he knew nothing.

But when necessary, he can still shield himself from harm.

Therefore, the loss of such a piece is nothing to him.

At the time, he was just worried that if Chunshi continued to investigate, they might actually find out where the antiques were stored.

The harvest of those nearly five months is likely to slip through my fingers.

That's why they arranged for Xin Chi to go to the transaction in advance.

However, not only did the goods go down the drain, but people also got caught up in the mess.

It's like losing both your wife and your army!

Not only can you not hand over the money you've saved over the past six months to your elders two months later.

They also lost a capable subordinate, increasing the risk of exposing themselves.

Now he not only has to think about how to give the adults an explanation.

We also need to clean up our mess as soon as possible, or leave this place temporarily.

To avoid implicating Xin Chi if he were exposed.

Shi Zhixin sat in the chair, lost in thought for a long time.

I decided to pursue both the tailing point and the escape from here, pursuing both goals simultaneously.

He can arrange for those in the organization who have had frequent contact with Xin Chi to leave Jilin Province.

Once these people left, his relationship with Xin Chi through other people was severed.

The only thing left is that I sponsored his schooling, and I really can't sever ties with him.

However, as long as Xin Chi keeps his mouth shut, he will only ever be the benefactor who sponsored his schooling.

He wasn't worried about that.

Anyway, as long as he still cares about his mother, who is still lying in the hospital, and his younger brother.

Naturally, they wouldn't expose him.

After thinking it all through, Shi Zhixin made the phone call.

"Ring ring ring~~ Ring ring ring~~"

The phone rang for less than two seconds before someone answered it.

"Xiao Li, I'm calling to ask if the person going on the business trip to the south has been chosen yet."

"Good evening, Secretary-General. The personnel for this business trip will be finalized tomorrow. I wonder why you asked?"

The person who received the call was also a member of the Jilin Provincial Secretariat.

Although he didn't understand why Secretary-General Shi was asking this, he still honestly explained the situation.

After hearing this answer, Shi Zhixin politely explained his thoughts:

"Here's the thing, Xiao Li, I have an old friend in the south."

"It's been many years since I last saw him. I just received news that he was about to pass away, and I want to go see him."

"We have a business trip coming up soon, and if we haven't decided on anyone yet, then please include me!"

He did want to go to the South, but the story about a friend who was about to pass away was fabricated.

After all, he didn't have many opportunities to go to the south; almost all of them were business trips.

I'm always too busy to go to work, how can I possibly have time to make friends?

However, whether it's true or not, as long as he has an excuse to leave, that's fine.

Anyway, the purpose of this business trip is to visit and inspect outstanding factories in various provinces and cities.

They won't be back anytime soon, which is perfect for me, isn't it?

If Xin Chi's true identity is exposed, he will soon be investigated.

Then you won't be able to leave even if you want to.

If Xin Chi hadn't been exposed, or if no one had found anything about him, he could have just returned from his business trip!
