"Mayor, I don't think Vice President Liao can be defined as missing. He should be unable to be contacted."

Li Yuanlang said with satisfaction: "Well, your idea is good, keep going."

Fang Yan observed Li Yuanlang's reaction. He opened his mouth and closed it again. He became entangled and hesitant.

Under the movement of Fang Yan's fingers, Li Yuanlang's head stopped hurting, his irritability gradually eased, and he said calmly: "Fang Yan, don't worry, just say whatever you have to say. I need your wisdom and openness."

"Okay, I'll say what I have to say." Fang Yan mustered up his courage, "In our city, we can't mobilize the entire city to search for Vice President Liao just because she lost contact in less than twelve hours. This will make it even more difficult.

People misunderstood her as being in danger, which only increased pressure and negative impact on ourselves."

"The police will only file a case after a person has been missing for 24 hours, or if there is evidence to prove that the person's personal safety is in danger or has been violated. Obviously, Vice President Liao does not have these two points."

Li Yuanlang said: "Vice President Liao has a special status. She is a distinguished guest of our municipal government. If we do not take serious and responsible actions, the damage to our reputation will be even greater."

Fang Yan explained: "What you said makes sense. Please forgive me for being blunt. To be honest, if I were an investor, given Deping's current situation, I would not invest here."

"The reason is very simple. You were shot some time ago, and Vice President Liao is missing this time. To a large extent, I think the public security environment in Deping City is very unstable."

"As the mayor, you can't guarantee your own safety. Vice President Liao lost contact the night he came to Deping. Who dares to take the risk and settle down here?"

"However, from another perspective, I feel that Vice President Liao's inexplicable loss of contact may be related to your upcoming trip to the capital for negotiations."

"You think, the public security environment is a basic factor in comprehensively considering investment decisions. As a result, Deping City is at a disadvantage at the negotiation table. Then, whether it is Shengling Group or Benge Company, they will use this excuse to put us at a disadvantage.

Hold on tight to death."

"The conditions they proposed will be quite harsh, even difficult for us to accept. And we just need to succeed in this negotiation. Benge Company is a foreign businessman, and Shengling Group is well-known. If we successfully cooperate with them, it will not only bring considerable

The economic benefits can better convey our good investment environment in Deping to the outside world."

Li Yuanlang nodded in agreement, "Fang Yan, your views hit the essence and key points every time."

"I can tell you this, Benguet Mobile Phone Company will eventually settle in Deping. This is what they want."

There are some things that Li Yuanlang cannot say too clearly.

Fang Yan did not respond. From Li Yuanlang's demeanor, he could feel the calmness and assurance of victory.

More than two hours later, Lou Tianyuan called.

After answering, Li Yuanlang asked: "Have you found the person?"

"Found it, unharmed."

Li Yuanlang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the reason?"

"She didn't say anything. She wanted to talk to you alone."

After being missing for more than ten hours, but only seeing himself, Li Yuanlang really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Liao Jingjing was selling in the gourd.

With no other choice, Li Yuanlang had no choice but to agree and go to the hotel to meet Liao Jingjing in her room.

Liao Jingjing, who had been missing for more than ten hours, looked sad and her eyes were red. She didn't know whether she was suffering from stress or crying.

Li Yuanlang sat opposite her and said softly: "There are only two of us here. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Liao Jingjing wiped the corners of her eyes, looked at Li Yuanlang, and said resentfully: "I went to meet someone last night."

"Who?" Li Yuanlang frowned, feeling that this person was not simple.

"Zhu Guangrong."

Him! Li Yuanlang was surprised, "He is in Deping?"

"I don't know if you are there or not." Liao Jingjing shook her head, "I was blindfolded with a black cloth and taken to a place with no windows around, which seemed to be a basement."

"What did he say?"

Liao Jingjing said in a low voice: "He, he said, the shot Jamie got was to take the bullet for you."

Li Yuanlang was shocked again.

"Zhu Guangrong told me that a killer was ambushed at the scene that night, and his target was you. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the gunfight and kill you with one shot, so that people would think you were unaware of it.

, you were shot randomly."

"I clearly remember that Jamie mentioned before he died that this was a trap. I understand now that he actually knew the truth a long time ago, but was controlled by the Mitaka Party and could not tell it.

.”

Li Yuanlang asked: "You can't just rely on Zhu Guangrong's words. What evidence does he have?"

"He let me watch the video of the gun battle that night. I am convinced that the video is real." Liao Jingjing said truthfully.

Li Yuanlang looked puzzled, "When the gunfight occurred, all the lights were turned off. It was pitch black. How can you confirm the authenticity?"

"They use thermal imaging technology, let me show it to you." As she said that, Liao Jingjing took out her mobile phone, played with it, and handed it to Li Yuanlang.

The screen showed that there were indeed several red and yellow figures moving.

Li Yuanlang recalled that he immediately found the figure who looked exactly like himself.

At that time, he ducked to avoid bullets flying around him from time to time.

Not long after, a figure stood in front of him, his body swayed and he fell to the ground after being shot.

If it is true, then this person must be Jamie.

"Go on and read the next paragraph." Liao Jingjing prompted.

Li Yuanlang swiped the screen, followed by a photo of an Asian man.

This man, nicknamed Golden Leopard, is a professional killer.

Scroll further down to see the scene of the trial of Leopard, which he spoke fluently in a foreign language.

An off-screen voice translates his words.

Jin Bao was ordered by others to pay a high price to kill Li Yuan Long.

As for who the employer is, Jinbao doesn't know the real identity of the person and can roughly describe the person's appearance.

Further down, a photo of an Asian man appears.

It was to find out the person who hired him based on what Jin Bao said.

Then there is a recording.

After playing, there was a conversation between two men.

Li Yuanlang didn't know who these two people were, but the content of the conversation was enough to shock Li Yuanlang.

Because one of the men with a deep voice made it very clear that taking Li Yuanlang's life would end Lu Linsong's hope and prevent the Lu family from ever getting ahead, and his father would have one less competitor.

"Who is this person?"

Liao Jingjing whispered: "His name is Zhang Zhibao. According to Zhu Guangrong, this man is very powerful, and his father is even more powerful."

Zhang Zhibao...

Li Yuanlang quickly thought about it in his mind, and he was suddenly stunned.

Could it be that he is Zhang Hanqi's son?

All along, he has always believed that the person who assassinated him was undoubtedly Zhu Guangrong.

If all this is true, it would be a big deal for Zhang Zhibao to hire a killer, which would be detrimental to him in that environment.

Li Yuanlang took a few deep breaths to calm himself down as soon as possible.

Liao Jingjing said: "Mayor Li, the reason Zhu Guangrong came to me instead of you is because he said you didn't trust him, so he could only convey it to you through me."

"I don't know whether these things are true or false. I can provide them to you so that the relevant departments can identify the authenticity."

"By the way, Zhu Guangrong also told me that Zhang Zhibao bought a financial street abroad. He has industries in many countries and cooperates with foreign forces, making a lot of money."

"I don't know much about political matters. But what Zhu Guangrong means is that foreign countries are in the hands of a few big chaebols, and they use their wealth to control power."

"Which party comes to power and who becomes the leader is decided by the big chaebols. To put it bluntly, their leaders are just the spokespersons of the big chaebols."

"And Zhang Zhibao is currently cooperating with the chaebols. What Zhang Zhibao cares about is money, and the chaebols care about his special status."

"Once they are deeply tied to Zhang Zhibao, Zhang Zhibao will become a pawn in the hands of the plutocrats. They can use Zhang Zhibao to control us."

No need for Liao Jingjing to tell Li Yuanlang that he could feel the secret behind it.

Suddenly, a slight chill ran down his back.

Why did Liao Jingjing say these words to him alone? Because the content was too sensitive and unexpected.

Only he is fully aware of the entanglements of interests involved, and he also deeply understands the power and unpredictability of foreign forces.
