1799: C1799 Two Fronts

C1799 Two Fronts

I realized that for me, the struggle between the two fronts was reaching its climax. So far, I was just a spectator on Qiu Tong's side of the line. Qiu Tong didn't want me to get involved, but I couldn't watch. However, the timing and method for my participation in the war will depend on the opportunity. I must seize the most appropriate opportunity and adopt the most reasonable method.

If a gentleman does not fight, then he will win. I remembered what Leh said to me.

At this moment, I received a call from Sun Dongkai.

"Yi, immediately book a plane ticket for tomorrow and return to Hsinghai." Sun Dongkai said.

"Oh, but Secretary Sun, the meeting is not over yet." "No," I said.

"I'm not opening. I'll go back early. I just applied for a leave of absence for the team. I said that the unit has something important that I need to go back to immediately, and the team has already agreed." Sun Dongkai said.

"Alright then." "Yes," I promised.

At this moment, Sun Dongkai might have realized that he was fooled by Guan Yunfei, or perhaps he realized why Guan Yunfei insisted on him personally coming to participate in the meeting. He could no longer stay in Tengchong. He needed to hurry back to deal with the matters that Qiu Tong brought back into the capital.

Although he knew he had a backer in the city, it was different this time. Qiu Tong had entered the capital, and he seemed to be unsure of the city's attitude towards this matter. He needed to hurry back and eat some peace of mind.

I then reserved a plane ticket for Sun Dongkai and I to return tomorrow. I would fly to Kunming first, then turn around and fly to Hsinghai.

At this moment, Sun Dongkai was fidgety and so was I. I also need to hurry back to Hsinghai.

Sun Dongkai and I share the same purpose, but for different reasons.

That night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He wondered if Sun Dongkai had fallen asleep.

In the middle of the night, I got a call from Dong Xue. In the silent midnight, the phone's ringtone was exceptionally ear-piercing.

I reached for my phone and answered.

"Ke, you're still at Tengchong?" Dong Xue's distant voice sounded from the phone.

"Yes, you know about my Tengchong?" "No," I said.

"Of course I do."

"What did you call me about?" I asked Dong Xue directly.

"I want to talk to you about that head of the Political Law Commission's office, Qin Lu." Dong Xue said.

"Qin Lu? What do you want to say? " I was surprised.

"I want to tell you about her death."

"What do you know?" I asked quickly.

"At the time the case was closed, she said she died from suicide. But tonight, I came across a piece of news and I'm certain that Qin Lu didn't commit suicide. She was killed." Dong Xue said.

My heart jolted. "Continue."

"I suspect that the person who killed Qin Lu was Alai."

"Alai!"

"Yes."

"Go on." I urged Dong Xue.

"Tonight, I will go to a bar to drink, Alai is drinking with a few underworld people next door, boasting while drinking. Alai seems to have drank too much, bragging about his history of killing in Thailand, then walking away and saying that he also killed people in Hsinghai, and that he is a female cadre of the political and legal system. Hearing Alai's words, I immediately thought of Qin Lu. "

I was stunned by what Dong Xue said. Thinking about the clues Alai revealed in front of me, I finally verified my judgement. That's right, Qin Lu did die at the hands of Alai.

"What I can't understand is why Alai wants to kill Qin Lu. He has no enmity with Qin Lu, so why does he want to kill Qin Lu?" Could it be that Alai was hired by someone? " Dong Xue made her judgement.

Dong Xue and I thought the same thing, so I said, "Alai is a professional killer. As long as we pay him, he would dare to kill anyone and do anything."

"Then, who hired Alai to kill Qin Lu?" Dong Xue said.

I didn't answer Dong Xue, but two faces appeared in front of me.

These two were my natural suspects. I have reason to think that one of them hired Alai to kill Qin Lu.

But one thing I'm sure of is that they won't plot it together, and only one of them could have done it.

Also, if it really is one of them, then, are they looking for Alai directly or through a middleman?

I think the latter is more likely.

After so long, Dong Xue's accidental discovery finally made Qin Lu's death appear on the surface.

I composed myself and said to Dong Xue, "Dong Xue, don't tell anyone about this. Remember."

"I know, of course I won't tell anyone. When I heard Alai talk about this, I secretly left the bar before they noticed me and went back to the dorm. I thought for a long time before I called you."

"Mm, that's good. "If Alai knew you heard this, he would definitely do you harm." "No," I said.

Dong Xue was silent for a moment. "I know you're always concerned about me. Even though you're not by my side, I can still feel your aura."

I didn't say anything.

"When are you coming back?" Dong Xue said.

"Tomorrow. According to the plan, Sun Dongkai will return three days from now, so he has to return early to the Hsinghai. " "No," I said.

"He came back in such a hurry because of Qiu Tong, right?" Dong Xue said.

"You know about Qiu Tong?" "No," I said.

"Yes, I just found out tonight. Qiu Tong went to the Yanjing office to report Sun Dongkai. I overheard it when Lei Zheng came to Wu De about it tonight." Dong Xue said.

"Yes."

"Qiu Tong is really stubborn when it comes to doing things. She doesn't fear power nor pressure. I really admire her. However, Qiu Tong was a little too reckless now. The person she was going to face was not an ordinary opponent. If she continued like this, the end result would be hard to say. "Lee Shun is a gangster. There's nothing he can do about this matter. I think Qiu Tong's next step …" Dong Xue didn't finish her sentence.

I know what Dong Xue is going to say.

"Alright, let's stop talking. I'm going to sleep. You have to take care of your body and your safety." With that, Dong Xue hung up.

I sat up and leaned against the headboard. I lit a cigarette and smoked quietly in the dark, thinking about what had happened today and what Dong Xue had just told me about Qin Lu.

In the morning of the second day, Sun Dongkai and I set out to return to Hsinghai. We first flew from Tengchong to Kunming, then turned around and returned to Hsinghai.

Along the way, Sun Dongkai seemed to have something on his mind, so he didn't say much.

I know that Qiu Tong may have already returned to the Hsinghai at this moment. I don't know what is waiting for her at the Hsinghai.

Sun Dongkai and I flew north with our own worries, all the way to the north.

He arrived at Kunming Airport at 11 noon and waited at the airport for three hours before continuing his flight to Hsinghai. We finally arrived at Hsinghai at half past five in the afternoon.

At this time, the Hsinghai had already descended into the night, and the lanterns were being lit.

After exiting the airport, Sun Dongkai didn't go with me. We parted at the airport and he had somewhere he wanted to go. Naturally, I also had someone I wanted to look for.

I was the first to contact Qiu Tong, and the call finally went through.

"Where are you?" I asked her impatiently.

"I'm at home." Qiu Tong sounded very calm.

"I just flew back from Tengchong, I left the airport, I'm going to look for you." "No," I said.

"No, don't come to my house. I'll go to your place." Qiu Tong said.

It seemed that Qiu Tong didn't want me to go to her house and be found out. Someone's suspicions of me were being raised against me.

I thought about it. "That's fine. Where's Snowy?"

"Snowy is at grandfather's and grandmother's house." Qiu Tong said.

"I'll be in the dorm in 20 minutes." "No," I said.

"Alright, I understand."

20 minutes later, when I arrived at the dormitory, Qiu Tong arrived.

Closing the door, I turned back to Qiu Tong. She looked as calm as ever.

"You went to the Yanjing?" I asked her.

Qiu Tong nodded, seemingly not surprised that I knew about this.

"When did you return?" I sat her down and poured her a glass of water.

Qiu Tong raised her cup and drank some water, "I just came back not long ago. The train was very slow, and it took me a long time to arrive at Hsinghai."

I sat opposite Qiu Tong: "You went to Yanjing and continued to sue Sun Dongkai?"

Qiu Tong nodded. "Yes." "You know it pretty quickly, I'm afraid Sun Dongkai knows it too, right?"

"Yes, I heard from Sun Dongkai last night. Sun Dongkai was due to be back in three days, so I couldn't wait to come back today." "No," I said.

Qiu Tong laughed. "Looks like he can't stay any longer. He can't sit still."

I frowned. "Are you reaping any rewards from going to Yanjing?"

"It's not about the harvest, I just submitted my report to the relevant department. Since the provincial and municipal levels are not doing anything, then I can only do this. I don't want to go overboard, but there's nothing I can do about it. " Qiu Tong said.

"But you also know that it's all ventilated. Even if you went to the Yanjing s, there's a high chance that the Yanjing s departments would transfer the materials to the provinces, and then to the cities themselves. Furthermore, the city will soon find out about the news of you going to the Yanjing. "No," I said.

"Of course I know, so what? Originally, I just didn't want to hide this matter from anyone. I'm not making a false accusation, and I'm not framing them. My evidence is conclusive, and my actions are beyond reproach. " Qiu Tong said confidently.

"You know what the city was like before. Now that you've directly provoked them, have you thought about the consequences?" "No," I said.

"I have thought about it. Before I did this, I had thought about all the possible consequences. But I cannot give up my conscience and my bottom line and my responsibilities because of these so-called consequences. " Qiu Tong looked at me quietly.

I lit a cigarette. "Did anyone talk to you when you came back?"

Qiu Tong shook her head, "No, but when I was on my way back from Yanjing, I noticed that there were two unidentified people following me around. I don't know what they were up to."

I knew Qiu Tong was talking about the protector arranged by Faang Aiguo, but I didn't expect her to find out.2

I couldn't tell Qiu Tong the truth. "What are you going to do next?" I asked her.

"Waiting for my superior's report." Qiu Tong said bluntly.

"What do you think will happen?" I asked her.

"I don't know."

"Do you think you'll wait for what you want?"

"I don't know."

"What would you do if it wasn't what you wanted?" I continued to ask her.

Qiu Tong looked at me and hesitated. "I won't tell you."

"Why?"

"I don't want to implicate you."

"But I'm willing to be implicated by you."

"Then I don't want to either. At this point, I don't have any regrets. Even if it's the Earthen Lightning Array in front of me, I will not hesitate to go through it. " Qiu Tong's voice was not loud, but it was firm.

I sighed and stood up. "Have you eaten?"

Qiu Tong shook her head.
