The cleanup was handed over to Liu Changhe, who transferred 500,000 yuan to the town's police station in one lump sum, entrusting them with the funds promised to the search team.

As for the rest, consider it personal assistance to the police station, since this place is really too poor.

Afterwards, Xiao Weiguo took Jiao Bai and Zhang Damao's family of three and drove straight back to Shang County in his Crown car.

Yaji's case has already been criminally filed, so there's nothing more for him to do after that. How to handle it is the government's business.

Downstairs at the Panlong Hotel, Bai Huaqing was blocked by a large group of security guards and several police officers.

Bai Huaqing's side consisted of only seventeen people, including himself, but Liu Erzhu had sent forty or fifty security guards to watch over them.

With the addition of several police officers left behind by Liu Changhe, how could Bai Huaqing's men possibly escape?

Originally, Bai Huaqing planned to wait for news from Yaji before fleeing.

But after waiting and waiting, until now, there has been no news from Yaji.

Bai Huaqing felt increasingly uneasy. If something happened to Yaji, he, as the person in charge of this trip to the mainland, would definitely be implicated.

After much deliberation, he decided to retreat first and put Zhang Damao's matter aside for now.

Don't risk ruining yourself here; that would be a huge loss.

But little did he know, Xiao Weiguo had no intention of letting him escape.

From the first day he moved in, he was under close surveillance.

As soon as they stepped out of the hotel, someone would stop them.

"What right do you have to stop me?"

At this point, Bai Huaqing was already somewhat exasperated.

As things unfolded, he felt increasingly uneasy.

All he wants now is to get back to the port city as soon as possible and eliminate all dangers.

No one paid any attention to his shouting; they all watched him silently, refusing to move an inch.

"Let me tell you, it is illegal for you to restrict personal freedom like this."

Having exhausted all other options, Bai Huaqing, who normally disregarded the law, was forced to invoke it.

This scene happened to be witnessed by Xiao Weiguo, who had just returned to the company.
