provincial capital.
Dongsheng.
Because Wan Zhenting was present, many things were not convenient to say.
Li Lin only drank a few glasses symbolically, but even so, it was more than half a pound of wine.
Wu Xiongfei was not very happy during the whole process. Although he sat in the circle of department-level and division-level cadres as he wished, Wan Zhenting still treated him as a waiter, and even when he toasted, he was commanding, "Xiongfei, drink three first, then six..."
Although Wu Xiongfei felt very unhappy, he was the head of the Municipal Bureau after all, so he had to compromise and drink one cup after another according to Wan Zhenting's instructions.
Even the job of serving tea and water was something that Wan Zhenting would order Wu Xiongfei to do. Even though there were waiters in the box, Wan Zhenting still gave orders to his subordinate Wu Xiongfei in order to show his authority. It was also possible that he wanted to assert his sovereignty as the director of the Municipal Bureau in front of Li Lin.
Li Lin found it very boring.
He kept stopping Wan Zhenting and hinting at him, "Are you going to let people drink properly? Those who can sit here are all my brothers. If you want to show off your power as the director, go back to your Pingyang Municipal Bureau. Don't do this in my place, Li Lin!"
It seemed as if he felt uncomfortable without subordinates serving him, which made Li Lin and Long Gang speechless.
But Wan Zhenting, this old hand, pretended not to see Li Lin's hints. If he compromised a little, he felt that he would lose points in front of Li Lin.
Seeing that the drinking party had lost its meaning, Li Lin sped up the process and ended it in less than an hour.
Come out from Dongsheng.
Joan was yawning in the car's cab.
This kid is now living a life of luxury and is becoming more and more lazy. He just wants to sleep after eating.
"Let's go back to Handa."
Li Lin got in the car and greeted him. Only then did he come to his senses, quickly sat up, adjusted his seat, and started the car.
"What's wrong with you lately? You seem listless?" Li Lin asked Qiao An while sitting in the back seat.
Qiao An scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Oh, I don't know. I used to be full of energy, but since I started dating Cui Xinyu, I always feel tired..."
Li Lin smiled, understanding what was going on. Men, especially those who have finally had a good time, will always feel unsatisfied if they don't have sex seven or eight times a night. Over time, their bodies will start to go downhill. So if men want to be energetic, they should be more restrained and do less sex. This is more effective than taking any tonic.
However, Li Lin had no way to persuade Qiao An about this. He could only let him slowly figure it out on his own... When he was no longer able to do so, he would restrain himself.
On the way, Li Lin's cell phone rang.
When I took it out, I saw it was an unfamiliar number from Pingyang City.
Look at the time, it’s past eight o’clock. Who could be calling?
After the call was connected, Ren Li's urgent voice came from the phone, "Is that County Magistrate Li? I am Ren Li, the daughter of Ren Jianghai. My father suddenly lost contact..."
What? Lost contact?
Li Lin was shocked.
He quickly calmed down and asked, "Don't worry, when did you lose contact?"
"Just now, he didn't answer my calls no matter how many times I called him. The bodyguards searched everywhere but couldn't find him... I suspect he must have been kidnapped by bad guys... Wuuuu... County Magistrate Li, please think of a way to save my father. You are the only one who can help us in Pingyang." Ren Li was very emotional and started crying after just a few words.
Especially at times like this, the more we need to stay calm.
Li Lin asked in a deep voice, "Don't cry yet. We just lost contact a while ago. It doesn't necessarily mean that we were kidnapped by bad guys. Have you called the police?"
"I've called the police, but they said he's been missing for too short a time and they can't file a case... County Magistrate Li, my dad would never refuse to answer my calls under any circumstances. Something must have happened to him, it must be. Please think of a way to save him..." Ren Li couldn't suppress the nervousness and panic in her heart, and continued to cry.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll find a way."
After saying that, Li Lin hung up the phone.
He asked Qiao An to turn around and go back to Dongsheng.
Long Gang, Wu Xiongfei and others planned to spend the night in Dongsheng and were there at the moment.
The two of them had originally planned to go out and find a street stall to have a couple of drinks, but just as they went downstairs they ran into Li Lin who had hurried back.
Long Gang asked in surprise, "Brother Lin, did you forget something? Why are you back again?"
Li Lin said to Long Gang with a serious face, "I just received news that Ren Jianghai might have been in trouble. Please contact Mr. Hou and ask him to come over as soon as possible."
Then he turned to Wu Xiongfei and said, "Go upstairs first. From tomorrow on, you will continue to look for Lao Gu's whereabouts."
"Okay." Seeing that Li Lin and Long Gang had important things to do, Wu Xiongfei did not dare to disturb them. He nodded in agreement and turned around to go upstairs to his room.
Twenty minutes later, Hou Yaodong hurried over.
The three of them found a private room and sat down.
Li Lin told the two of them the original news that Ren Jianghai had lost contact.
"If something really happened to Ren Jianghai, there's no need to guess, it must have been Lu Chengze's doing."
"Ren Jianghai is an important witness in Lu Yuanfeng's case. If he wants to help Lu Yuanfeng clear his name, he will definitely not sit idly by and watch Ren Jianghai testify in court."
"The most urgent task now is to find Ren Jianghai's whereabouts as soon as possible. We must not let anything happen to him!"
Long Gang thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Lin, what if Ren Jianghai has been in trouble?"
Hearing this, Li Lin said solemnly, "So, now we can't care about any rules. We have to hurry up and hope it's just a false alarm..."
At this time, Hou Yaodong said to the two of them in annoyance, "This matter is my fault... When Xiaolin asked me to send someone to protect Xu Wen, I had already thought of Ren Jianghai, but after I knew that he had bodyguards, I didn't send anyone to protect him. Alas... I was careless... Sure enough, that old guy Lu Chengze took advantage of the opportunity..."
"I didn't expect that... Because Lu Yuanfeng's case was handled by the provincial department, the Pingyang police did not send anyone to protect Ren Jianghai... If there was even one of us by his side, I'm sure the Lu family wouldn't dare to be so rampant!" Long Gang said helplessly. The police force has its own system, and he couldn't privately send someone to guard Ren Jianghai 24 hours a day.
"Okay, now is not the time to review. Since Lu Chengze has already taken action, we can only respond accordingly."
After saying this, Li Lin looked at Hou Yaodong and said, "Brother Hou, send someone to Pingyang immediately to protect Ren Jianghai's family and find out Ren Jianghai's whereabouts through Dongsheng's channels."
He looked at Long Gang again and said, "Long Gang, please urge the Municipal Bureau to file a case as soon as possible. Although this is against the rules, the situation is urgent and we have to deal with it in a special way!"
Hou Yaodong and Long Gang nodded in succession.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go to Pingyang right away!"
"Okay, Brother Lin, Mr. Ren is an important merchant in Pingyang. If anything happens to him, it will affect many people. We will handle it specially. No problem!"
After that, the two of them went their separate ways without stopping.
That night, a group of capable subordinates from Dongsheng rushed to Pingyang.
At this time, the municipal government had already learned about the accident at Ren Jianghai's factory.
Qian Lingyun also received a call for help from Ren Li.
In an instant, Pingyang City was no longer peaceful and people were in panic.
