Luo Sanming squinted his eyes and said after a long while, "District Chief Song really knows how to joke."

He thought Song Guanchao was talking nonsense.

This matter was too bizarre; he couldn't believe it at all.

But it was precisely its bizarre nature that compelled him to question if it could be true.

Moreover, Song Guanchao wanted to make a deal with him, unlikely to deceive him with such matters.

The deeper he analyzed, the more he felt that Song Guanchao's words may actually be true.

"I have no reason to joke about such things with you."

"Where is he?"

"I don't know."

"Don't know? Then why should I trust you?"

"He Sen knows," Song Guanchao said, "I contacted He Sen, and he let it slip."

"Help exonerate me, and I'll tell you He Sen's location."

Slap.

Luo Sanming hung up the phone.

He didn't make a decision immediately.

He needed to calm down and think carefully.

Song Guanchao put down the phone, and the anxiety he had just shown vanished, leaving only calmness.

He felt his acting skills were pretty good.

However, this Luo Sanming indeed was a figure.

Under normal circumstances, people would definitely agree directly.

But he didn't.

He had a clear mind and knew not to make decisions during emotional fluctuations.

Song Guanchao was glad he made sufficient preparations; otherwise, he might not have been able to hook this guy so easily.

Although Luo Sanming hadn't agreed yet, Song Guanchao was confident that once Liang Jianfeng reported the news that Qin Yuejin was still alive, he would definitely agree.

The next day, Sunday.

At half past ten in the morning, in the City Committee conference room.

At this moment, a few committee members were seated in the conference room.

Besides the two secretaries from the City Committee, Zheng Bihui and Jiang Yuan from the City Government were also present.

Liang Jianfeng had just sat down and immediately said, "There's progress in the case."

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow; he wasn't too keen on seeing Song Guanchao cleared of suspicion. He'd rather see Song Guanchao wanted, captured, and sentenced in this affair.

But that was just his wishful thinking; he couldn't control how events would unfold.

Liang Jianfeng said, "According to the investigation, Qin Yuejin is still alive."

"What?"

Jiang Yuan and Zheng Bihui couldn't remain calm on the spot.

Qu Xiangru and Wu Qiangwei also showed expressions of shock.

Though they had already learned of this from Song Guanchao, their shocked expressions were genuine.

It wasn't the shock that Qin Yuejin was alive but rather how Liang Jianfeng knew.

Did he find out through investigation?

Or did Song Guanchao tell him?

Jiang Yuan's expression was serious: "Director Liang, are you sure?"

"I'm certain."

Qin Yuejin solemnly nodded: "While searching for bodies in Lingjiang, our colleagues found some footprints and Qin Yuejin's clothes."

"Moreover, we retrieved surveillance downstream of Lingjiang and found Qin Yuejin's figure."

Jiang Yuan's face turned grim.

Qin Yuejin still being alive was beyond his expectations.

He couldn't understand, was this guy a monster?

Shot in the head with a pistol, how did he survive?

If he was indeed alive, then his plans were completely in vain.

"I've already sent people to search the places he's been, expecting results next week."

Qu Xiangru said, "Increase police force and search area. If you need helicopters, let me know, and I'll arrange it."

She showed great concern for this matter.

Liang Jianfeng shook his head: "Police force is limited, and we need to allocate some to investigate the murder case involving Song Guanchao."

Qu Xiangru pondered for a few seconds and said, "Searching for Qin Yuejin is more important; Song Guanchao's case can wait."

Wu Qiangwei immediately looked over, just about to speak, when Qu Xiangru said, "Alright, let's dismiss the meeting."

After people left, Qu Xiangru said, "I know what you want to say; you think Song Guanchao is more important, right?"

Wu Qiangwei said, "You're the City Secretary, you decide."

Qu Xiangru chuckled lightly: "Wu Qiangwei, I suggest you calm down. Because of Song Guanchao, you've lost your usual rationality and composure."

"I'm very calm and have always been rational."

"Really? Then why can't you see that it was Song Guanchao who informed Liang Jianfeng about Qin Yuejin's matter?"

Wu Qiangwei furrowed her brows, considering but uncertain.

Because Song Guanchao hadn't told her.

She felt that Song Guanchao would definitely report to her when making such decisions.

"You can call to ask, but I suggest you better not ask."

"If he wants to tell, he will. If he chooses not to say, it might be due to too many things going on, or perhaps he feels he can handle it and doesn't want to worry you."

"I lean more towards the latter."

"Furthermore, since he told Liang Jianfeng and mentioned it in the meeting, obviously there's a plan involved."

"My suggestion is, don't disturb him."

Listening to her meticulous analysis, Wu Qiangwei couldn't refute.

Moreover, she suddenly felt that Qu Xiangru seemed to understand Song Guanchao better than she did.

Thinking of this, her gaze suddenly dimmed a bit.

...

"I understand now."

Luo Sanming put down the phone, his face sinister.

Just moments ago, he learned a shocking piece of news.

Qin Yuejin is still alive!

Liang Jianfeng personally reported it and proved through surveillance that he is alive.

What Song Guanchao said was true.

Qin Yuejin really is still alive!

After contacting Song Guanchao last night, he pondered deeply into the night, yet still did not fully believe it.

But now, he believed.

Song Guanchao hadn't deceived him.

He suddenly felt very angry, knowing that He Sen had long known Qin Yuejin was alive but kept it from him.

Looks like this guy had already guessed he'd take action against him, hence concealed this matter.

Qin Yuejin is different from He Sen.

Even if the police catch He Sen, He Sen's accusation won't have an effect.

But if Qin Yuejin accuses him, it's completely different.

A sitting Public Security Bureau Chief's accusations, whether there's evidence or not, would prompt thorough investigation by the city.

Were it not for this, he wouldn't have forced Qin Yuejin into suicide back then.

He just didn't expect Qin Yuejin to play mind games with him.

In broad daylight, he played a false death escape trick, even deceiving himself.

Luo Sanming rhythmically tapped his fingers on the table, glanced at the phone, and chuckled lightly.

He grabbed his phone and dialed the unfamiliar number from yesterday.

He's made up his mind to agree to Song Guanchao's terms.

Because Qin Yuejin must die!

If he's alive, Luo Sanming won't be able to sleep.

"Mr. Luo." Song Guanchao's voice sounded tired, with a hint of suppressed tension, yet pretended to be very calm.

With just this short address, Luo Sanming analyzed his current state.

"District Chief Song seems very tired. Looks like you didn't rest well last night?"

Song Guanchao's tone was impatient and irritable: "Mr. Luo, what do you want from me?"

Ha, he's anxious, he's anxious.

Luo Sanming said, "Take me to see He Sen."
