207: Chapter 207 Old Mo Makes His Move, Ding Yizhen is Arrested

The airport staff member held the passport, looked at Ding Yizhen, and said, "Tom Ding? Take off your glasses."

Ding Yizhen immediately removed his glasses and smoothed his hair. The staff member finished checking, nodded, and handed the passport back to him.

Ding Yizhen took the passport and lifted his foot to walk inside.

Just at that moment, a large hand grabbed his arm from behind with a sudden jerk: "Mayor Ding! Isn't this Mayor Ding? How did I run into you here!"

Ding Yizhen shuddered, turned around, and saw a somewhat familiar face in front of him, but right now he couldn't recall where he had seen it, and he had no heart to think about it. He tried hard to pull his arm back: "You've mistaken me for someone else! I am Tom Ding, not any Mayor Ding!"

The person who grabbed him was none other than Chen Jinmo—Lao Mo. He had long received orders to keep a close eye on Ding Yizhen, and if the other party tried to flee, he was to stop him at the final step. Lao Mo had an extraordinary talent for this kind of work. Chen Hai would never have dreamed that there was another pair of eyes constantly watching Ding Yizhen's every move.

Lao Mo's hand clamped onto Ding Yizhen's arm like an iron vice, his voice loud and clear: "Mayor Ding, are you going abroad to dodge a debt? Your city government only owes us five million; is there any need to run abroad? Even if you want to run, you have to settle the debt first! Otherwise, I'll be held accountable by the head office! Ding Yizhen, you can't ruin me like this!"

Ding Yizhen was sweating profusely in his anxiety: "You've mistaken me for someone else! I am not Ding Yizhen! I am Tom Ding! Someone come quick, security! Security! Come over and drag this lunatic away!"

"You are Ding Yizhen! Don't think you can get away with it just by wearing a wig!" As Lao Mo said this, he swiftly yanked the wig off Ding Yizhen's head and shouted, "Everyone come and see, this is Ding Yizhen of Jingzhou City! He owes our company five million in project funds, and he's trying to run abroad to dodge the debt!"

The moment the wig was ripped off, Ding Yizhen's blood ran cold. He had already seen the airport police running toward them, his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the ground.

Despite all his calculations, he never could have calculated that he would run into a debt collector at the airport.

In the provincial command hall, the phone of Director Qi Tongwei suddenly rang. When he saw the number, his heart sank, but he still answered: "Hello, this is Director Qi Tongwei."

An excited voice came from the other end of the line: "Director Qi, Ding Yizhen has been caught!"

"Caught? How was he caught?" Director Qi Tongwei asked subconsciously.

"It's like this, Director Qi Tongwei, Ding Yizhen originally..."

After listening to the report from the airport, the corner of Director Qi's eye twitched uncontrollably. What the hell, is this too much of a coincidence? Could Ding Yizhen really be this unlucky?

"Director Qi Tongwei, has Ding Yizhen been caught?" Secretary Gao Yuliang asked, unable to help himself when he saw Director Qi Tongwei's strange expression.

Director Qi Tongwei had just hung up the phone and replied: "Secretary Gao Yuliang, news has come from the airport; Ding Yizhen tried to flee the country and was stopped by staff."

"That's great!" Chen Hai, who was to the side, clenched his fists and blurted out.

Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming raised his hand and slapped the back of his head, giving him a stern look. Chen Hai only then realized he had acted foolishly again and quickly lowered his head.

Director Qi Tongwei briefly recounted the sequence of events and then asked: "Secretary Gao Yuliang, how do you think this should be handled now?"

Secretary Gao Yuliang frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "The Secretary of the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission hasn't taken office yet. Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming, I will communicate with Secretary Li Dakang again. A joint investigation team will be formed by your Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Jingzhou City Discipline Inspection Commission to handle this matter together. Take the person to your Procuratorate tonight first."

Seeing that Chen Hai was still standing there motionless, Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming quickly patted him again: "Did you hear me? Hurry up and bring Ding Yizhen back to the Procuratorate!"

Chen Hai came to his senses and quickly said: "I will call someone to pick up Ding Yizhen immediately."

He took out his phone to dial, and Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming quickly asked: "Who are you going to send?"

Chen Hai answered without thinking: "Lu Yike."

Before his words had even landed, a gaze filled with Killing Intent from Secretary Gao Yuliang swept over him.

Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming just wanted to kick Chen Hai to death.

Right in front of Secretary Gao Yuliang, he actually wanted to drag his niece into this kind of quagmire; had his brain been eaten by zombies?

He suppressed his anger and said: "Why are you calling her? Isn't the matter at the Dafeng Factory giving her enough of a headache? Don't find more trouble for her! You lead the team yourself... forget it, I'll go with you."

After speaking, Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming turned to Secretary Gao Yuliang and said: "Secretary Gao Yuliang, rest assured, I will personally bring Ding Yizhen back."

Secretary Gao Yuliang's expression softened slightly, and he nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. I will communicate with Secretary Li Dakang to get the joint investigation team set up as soon as possible, so that if the Supreme Commission for Discipline Inspection asks about it later, we will have an explanation ready."

"Very well, Secretary Gao Yuliang, then I will be going."

"Be careful on the road."

Chen Hai also nodded to Secretary Gao Yuliang, and then left the provincial department with Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming.

Once they were out the door, Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming put on an expression of frustration at his incompetence, poking his finger directly at Chen Hai's forehead: "Right in front of Secretary Gao Yuliang, you still wanted to drag Lu Yike into this; what on earth are you thinking? Is the seat of the Anti-Corruption Bureau too tiring, and it's made you confused? If you can't handle it, step down early."

Chen Hai shrank his neck: "I'm sorry, Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming, I just felt that this matter needed to be arranged by someone trustworthy, so..."

Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming waved his hand irritably: "Alright, alright, this old body of mine will be angered to death by you sooner or later. Call two more people to go pick up Ding Yizhen."

With Ding Yizhen caught, Director Qi Tongwei felt uneasy. He had wanted to notify Zhao Ruilong earlier, but after Secretary Gao Yuliang let Zhao Donglai leave, he sat alone on the sofa in deep thought, showing no intention of letting him go. Director Qi Tongwei endured and endured, but finally spoke to test the waters: "Secretary Gao Yuliang, should our provincial department also send someone to assist Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming?"

"Why are you meddling?" Secretary Gao Yuliang frowned, "Was the person who stopped Ding Yizhen arranged by you?"

"No." Director Qi Tongwei immediately shook his head, "I checked just now; the person who stopped him is the Handong Province regional manager for Hongdou Logistics. Ding Yizhen really owes them five million in project funds, and has been withholding payment. This matter... should be purely a coincidence."

Secretary Gao Yuliang paused for a while, then sighed: "People, you know, if you do too many bad things, you never know when karma will strike. You go now, remember to coordinate with the traffic authorities and open a green channel for Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming and his team."

"Very well, Secretary Gao Yuliang, then I will go first." Director Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief, turned, and left the provincial department.

Secretary Gao Yuliang then dialed Secretary Li Dakang's phone, getting straight to the point: "Secretary Li Dakang, Ding Yizhen has been caught at the airport. You are to instruct the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission to form a joint investigation team with the provincial Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau to investigate the issues surrounding Ding Yizhen together. Strive to clarify it as soon as possible, and come up with a result before the Supreme Commission for Discipline Inspection asks about it."

How could Secretary Li Dakang not understand the meaning behind those words—it meant to investigate behind closed doors, keeping everything under provincial control. He immediately replied: "Rest assured, Secretary Gao Yuliang, we will definitely cooperate with the province's work."

The news of Ding Yizhen's capture soon reached Zhao Yang as well. Having the Handong Province side capture the person themselves was, for the current situation, the optimal solution.

The mission requirement of "No Regrets After Moving" was to change the situation in Handong Province, and in the situation where he could not enter the game for the time being, he could only turn around the key nodes one by one first.

Let Zhao Dehan turn himself in, let Ding Yizhen be caught.

These two things all happened before Secretary Sha Ruijin arrived in Handong Province.

This way, at the very least, Handong Province could be prepared regarding this matter of Ding Yizhen. Then, the situation in Handong Province would inevitably undergo corresponding changes.

After hanging up the phone from Handong Province, Zhao Yang looked at the night sky outside the window, his brows slightly furrowed. He had a faint, strange feeling in his heart—the day for him to go to Handong Province was getting closer and closer...
