23: Chapter 23 Sleepless Night 23: Chapter 23 Sleepless Night As the two were talking here, Ji Yang’s phone began to ring.
He picked it up to see that it was Chu Shuyuan calling.
“Where are you?” Chu Shuyuan asked.
“At a friend’s house.”
“Give me the location.”
Ji Yang then relayed his current location.
“Wait at the door, we’ll be there in half an hour.”
Ji Yang agreed and turned to Qian Huifang, “The leader has summoned me for something.”
After a brief exchange, both had become more rational, able to discuss topics related to officialdom normally.
Ji Yang looked at her and said, “I must hurry over.”
“What’s the matter at this time of night?” Although Qian Huifang said this, she added, “Don’t keep the leader waiting.”
Ji Yang couldn’t care less, and as he thought about getting dressed, he realized it wouldn’t be easy in his current state, so he rushed to the bathroom.
He entered the bathroom hastily, gave himself a quick rinse, and quickly got dressed.
Checking his appearance, he thought that even if Chu Shuyuan smelled something on him, she’d probably assume he had just taken a shower and wouldn’t think too much of it. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
“I’ll dry your hair for you,” Qian Huifang offered.
Ji Yang did not object.
Qian Huifang hurriedly picked up the hairdryer and began helping him.
Fortunately, his hair was a short buzz cut, so it was quick to dry.
After giving Qian Huifang’s butt a pat, Ji Yang walked briskly out of the house.
Qian Huifang sat down on the sofa as she watched Ji Yang close the door and leave.
Honestly, even though she had let herself go today, if she were being serious, Ji Yang was truly her second man.
Reflecting on what had just happened, she could feel her face blushing, and thinking of Ji Yang’s vigor, she suddenly realized she might have been living in vain before, never having enjoyed such a thrilling experience.
The old man must think she was clueless, knowing he had several mistresses besides her, she wondered how those women managed, surrendering so hastily yet craving for more.
Helping her younger brother drag Ji Yang to the countryside now seemed like a mistake, but fortunately, from Ji Yang’s reaction, things seemed recoverable.
Right, before she came back, something must have happened between her younger sister and Ji Yang.
If that was the case, what should she do?
Leaving Qian Huifang’s thoughts aside, once Ji Yang stepped outside and felt the breeze, he recovered his senses.
He hadn’t anticipated that such events would transpire at the Qian Family’s place today.
He had never expected this kind of situation!
After considering the entire incident carefully, Ji Yang was still reassured.
Although something had happened, it didn’t seem to affect him much.
However, he knew he needed to be cautious in the future to avoid being entrapped.
Standing at the entrance of the residential area for a while, he saw a car approaching.
“Get in,” Chu Shuyuan’s voice came.
Ji Yang didn’t ask questions and just got into the car.
As the car drove out of the city, they came upon several police cars stopped at an intersection.
When Ji Yang looked, he could see the cars were packed with people.
It was only then that Chu Shuyuan said, “These are comrades from the city, they are in charge of this operation!”
At such a time, he knew it was best not to say too much.
This situation showed that Chu Shuyuan had significant influence in the city; otherwise, city-level police would not have been mobilized so quickly for this operation.
Chu Shuyuan didn’t say much more and closed her eyes to rest, clearly showing signs of fatigue.
Soon, the car arrived directly at the residence.
It was just after dinner time, and many people were outside.
Seeing several police cars arrive, they were all somewhat puzzled by the situation.
With Chu Shuyuan leading the way, the car entered the neighborhood directly.
The police headed towards Chu Shuyuan’s apartment.
Trained professionals quickly found the surveillance devices that Ji Yang and the others had missed.
Photograph, then inspect…
The police began to search room by room.
Not only that, but the people from the guesthouse were taken into custody, and more police went to the local station to take those people into custody as well.
Since surveillance equipment had indeed been found, everyone followed the prearranged plan and took control of the suspects.
This time Chu Shuyuan clearly believed Ji Yang, and the local police chief, the guesthouse manager, Li Xinggui, and Lu Shijie were all taken into custody.
Cao Zhongping and his group were initially unaware of what was happening, but as monitors were found in their rooms as well, each person’s expression turned grim.
The leading officer reported the inspection results to superiors, and it wasn’t long before county personnel also arrived in large numbers.
This was no small matter, as it alarmed all sides.
Chu Shuyuan’s phone was busy non-stop, with continuous calls coming in, and she kept reporting to her superiors.
A joint investigation team composed of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Public Security was quickly formed and deployed to the township.
A work team from the city was also on its way.
Ji Yang now had a lot on his plate.
As people arrived, his job was to help with arrangements, ensuring accommodation and meals were provided.
The township officials were completely clueless about what was happening, and one by one, they arrived at the township.
Ji Yang was not very clear about the specifics of the investigation; he just knew that even the county leaders had arrived, and he even saw Zhang Yongcheng with a sullen face among them.
It had to be said that Lu Shijie and his people were numerous.
More people were taken in for questioning, and many were detained.
