The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

"Unreasonable."

Jiang Feng and Wu Xixin shook their heads almost simultaneously.

After a pause, Wu Xixin said, "Since it's unreasonable, Lou Yu must have a purpose for doing this. What is his purpose?"

Chen Fang pondered for a moment.

Said, "Now that the police have issued a wanted notice for him, escaping has become very difficult, which leads to two possibilities. The first possibility is that someone wants him to do this; if successful, they may help him escape or silence witnesses. The second possibility is the tactic of drawing the tiger away from the mountain—"

"Drawing the tiger away from the mountain? What do you mean?"

Wu Xixin asked.

Chen Fang asked, "We already officially launched an investigation into the Lin Duoduo case, led by our Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Committee in conjunction with the police department. Regardless of who this so-called big leader is, he is already getting nervous. So, it's possible he wants to lure us away, and then..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Jiang Feng quickly said, "Take action against those in the know!"

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Yes, exactly, take action against those in the know. If this so-called big leader truly exists, the only one who knows his identity might be Lou Youhua. As long as Lou Youhua is eliminated, the big leader involved with Lin Duoduo's death will never have his identity exposed."

"Makes sense! Both possibilities exist."

Wu Xixin squinted and said.

Jiang Feng nodded, saying, "Since we already know Lou Yu has bad intentions, we might as well ignore him completely."

"No, I have to go!"

Chen Fang said.

Wu Xixin opened his mouth wide, asking somewhat incredulously, "Leader, you already know it's a trap, why do you still want to go?"

Chen Fang's mouth curved into a slight smile, and he said, "It's simple: only if I go can this plan be realized, and that person can then take action against Lou Youhua..."

Saying this.

Chen Fang lowered his voice.

He quietly explained his plan to Wu Xixin and Jiang Feng.

After listening.

Only then did they suddenly realize.

Jiang Feng said, "Leader, I'll accompany you to the market over there. That way I can ensure your safety. As for the base here, having Director Wu is enough."

"Yes, don't worry, leader. No matter who takes action, I definitely won't let them off."

Wu Xixin said.

Chen Fang gestured with his hand.

Said, "No need, I'll arrange things at the market myself. You both follow my plan: wait until the critical moment before taking action. You must catch the killer while ensuring Lou Youhua remains safe. You are responsible for this; I feel more secure..."

"But..."

Jiang Feng wanted to say something else.

But was stopped by Chen Fang's gesture.

"Follow orders!"

With these four words said.

The two could only exchange glances and stopped persisting.

Around eight o'clock in the evening.

Three vehicles from the Disciplinary Committee left the base.

The first car carried Chen Fang and the driver.

The second car was occupied by Jiang Feng, Wu Xixin, and others.

The last car carried the Disciplinary Committee's investigators.

This departure included more than ten people, leaving the base's safety to the Guangshou County Disciplinary Inspection Commission and the police bureau.

The reason for doing this.

Chen Fang wanted to turn the tables.

The opponent's thinking wasn't hard to predict.

Chen Fang would definitely not venture to the market alone; he would certainly bring people to ensure his safety while simultaneously arresting Lou Yu.

This way.

The base would be left vulnerable.

At least the "eyes" of the supervisory team would be fewer.

Wanting to do anything became much easier.

Sure enough, as expected.

Just as the three cars exited.

Behind the curtains of a second-floor window at the base, a pair of eyes fixedly watched the movement of the three cars until they drove in the direction of Baizhang Town. Then he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

Once the call was connected.

He softly said, "Execute the plan as intended."

With those words spoken, the call was disconnected.

After the three cars left the Guangshou County downtown.

They immediately got on the highway.

One of the toll attendants who saw the three cars also made a call, the content similar to the previous call.

About ten minutes later.

The three cars simultaneously entered the service area.

People from the rear two cars swiftly disembarked, switched to two different vehicles, and left via the service area's rear employee passage, heading back to the county town.

As for the emptied two cars, they brought another group to switch vehicles.

They followed behind Chen Fang's vehicle, continuing the previous journey.

This time, the speed of all three cars increased to make up the three minutes wasted at the service area. In this way, the toll attendants at the Baizhang Town highway entrance wouldn't become suspicious.

The three cars arrived timely at the Baizhang Town highway exit.

After paying to exit.

A toll attendant again picked up the phone and, upon connection, stated, "The three cars have exited on time."

The person on the other end of the call displayed a confident and sinister smile.

In their view, the entire plan was already considered a success.

At eight-fifty.

Chen Fang drove alone, slowly parking beside the abandoned market in Baizhang Town.

Since this place had been deserted for a long time.

The surroundings were pitch-dark.

Making one's hair stand on end.

Chen Fang did not rush to get out of the car.

Instead, he lit a cigarette, waiting until it finished to get ready for action.

After discarding the cigarette butt.

He unhurriedly opened the door and walked into the market.

At this time, his eyes had adapted to the darkness.

The gloomy and damp environment, surrounded by cement stalls previously used for vendors, with occasional stinking drains on the ground, wind blowing from all directions, and could hear the sound of the pipa clanging.

Once he reached the center.

Chen Fang stopped his steps.

Looked around.

Shouted aloud, "Come out, Lou Yu, I know it was you who called me. No need to hide, I've come..."

About ten meters away from Chen Fang, suddenly a beam of strong flashlight shot out, directly dazzling his eyes. For a moment, Chen Fang became dazed, instinctively raising his hand to shield his eyes.

In an instant.

He heard the sound of wind breaking beside his ear.

Chen Fang snapped to attention.

Quickly lowered his body.

He heard a clang, with a water pipe striking a nearby stone pillar.

At the moment of crouching.

Chen Fang saw three or four people rushing towards him.

With force in his legs, he leaped backwards, briefly escaping the encirclement.

The four missed their target and swung the pipes again, surrounding Chen Fang once more.

Continuing to retreat was not an option.

With a jump, Chen Fang directly stepped onto the cement stall and then seized the momentum to leap, knees bending towards the face of the foremost person.

With a thud.

The individual was sent smashing backwards.

Straight as he fell.

Chen Fang took advantage of the situation, seized the person's wrist, and snatched the water pipe.
