37: Chapter 37 Airport Early Warning

In an office of the Disciplinary Inspection Commission.

Two comrades from the Disciplinary Inspection Commission were chatting with Zheng Qifeng.

"Comrade Zheng, how do you explain the content in the body camera?"

"Also, do you really think the actions of Li Tianyi and the others in the online video are minor issues?"

"Do you have anything to say about the online reports?"

Zheng Qifeng was brought from his bed to the Disciplinary Inspection Commission, his face grim and his heart flustered.

It was said that no one brought here ever failed to confess.

He still harbored a sliver of hope: his Old Leader would surely find a way to get him out after he found out.

So he couldn't speak now, not even open his mouth.

As soon as he spoke, the comrades from the Disciplinary Inspection Commission would find a way to break down his psychological defense.

"Comrade Zheng, your silence is futile. Let's see who can outlast whom."

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling!"

A phone rang.

The two comrades from the Disciplinary Inspection Commission exchanged glances, both indicating their phones hadn't rung.

The comrade on the left glanced towards the table.

He then realized there was a flashing light in a small box, where Zheng Qifeng's phone was. It was his phone ringing.

The comrade on the left picked up the phone and saw the caller ID: Old Leader.

"Comrade Zheng, why don't you answer it?"

He pressed the answer button, then quickly activated the speakerphone and placed the phone in front of Zheng Qifeng.

The person on the other end seemed very anxious, speaking quickly and with anger.

"Xiao Zheng, how did you handle things this time? You even dared to let your subordinates come to my house to arrest someone."

"Quickly tell them to get out of my house and kowtow to my son in apology."

Zheng Qifeng panicked. He recognized the Old Leader's voice. How dare the other party directly come to arrest someone?

Things were developing in the worst possible direction.

Seeing Zheng Qifeng remain silent, the comrade on the left spoke up.

"Is that Comrade Li Shuangjiang? Comrade Zheng is busy and can't take your call. He's having tea with us here."

"As for what you just instructed him to do, he definitely won't be able to help you with it."

Li Shuangjiang's roar came from the other end of the phone, "Who are you?"

Before the comrade on the left could answer, a busy signal came from the phone.

On the other side.

Li Shuangjiang realized something was wrong and redialed several people's numbers.

The calls connected, but no one answered.

Tian Jun saw this and walked towards the mansion gate.

Li Shuangjiang tried to stop him, but a Police Officer blocked his way.

Li Tianyi finally panicked and shouted to Li Shuangjiang, "Dad, save me, please save me."

He cried out with a heart-wrenching plea.

Walking out of the mansion, Tian Jun felt relieved, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and offered them around.

Then he took a few deep, almost cathartic drags.

Never had smoking felt so satisfying.

...

Chen Shaoping had been following the online comments all night, and public opinion had completely shifted to his side.

He fell asleep on the sofa after four in the morning.

Now awake, he headed straight for the bathroom, having been woken up by the urge to urinate.

Checking the time again, it was only 6:52, not yet seven o'clock.

There was one unread message on his phone.

Tian Jun: Li Tianyi and the five others have been re-arrested, awesome!!!

Chen Shaoping replied.

"Excellent."

Back in the bedroom, he had just laid down when he sat up again.

He thought that Wang Bo and Li Qian were also flying back to Yangcheng today. Would their arrival time at Baiyun Airport be similar to Lu Han's?

"Beep beep beep!"

The call connected.

"Da Ping, you miss me after only one day? Calling me so early?"

Wang Bo's teasing voice came from the phone.

"Get lost. What time is your flight, and what time do you arrive at Baiyun Airport?"

"We should be out of the airport after 1 PM. Are you coming to pick us up? That's so embarrassing."

Chen Shaoping's heart skipped a beat. It really was that time.

"Wang Bo, listen carefully. After you get off the plane this morning, leave the airport immediately and quickly. Don't linger for a moment."

"Why?"

"From what I know, Lu Han will appear at the airport around the same time as you today. He has too many fans, which will cause congestion and even a risk of a stampede."

"Take good care of Sister Qian."

"Okay, Da Ping. I understand, I will."

After hearing Chen Shaoping's words, Wang Bo became serious. If Sister Qian got hurt, even just a little, his guilt would be immense.

Chen Shaoping hung up the phone, thought for a moment, wondering what else he could do.

Right, he could also remind the airport management so they could prepare in advance.

He decided to act on it.

He looked up the phone number for the airport management department online.

He dialed it.

Five minutes later, he angrily hung up the phone. The other party kept beating around the bush.

He felt that not only did they not believe him, but they were also suspecting him of planning something at the airport.

He couldn't bother with it anymore; he had fulfilled his duty to warn them.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing a piece of intelligence. You have gained 2 paparazzi points.]

[Host has paparazzi points: 21 points.]

Not bad, the system determined the intelligence was completed.

After all that, Chen Shaoping was completely awake.

He got up, washed, changed his clothes, tidied himself up in front of the mirror, and then left the house.

When he returned, he had some food in his hands: soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, mantou, eggs, and so on.

Chen Shaoping didn't know what Zhang Ying liked, so he bought a bit of every common breakfast item.

Knock knock knock!

Zhang Ying, wearing an apron, opened the door.

"Sister Ying, I bought you breakfast."

"Da Ping, are you up so early? I was just about to make some and bring it over to you."

They exchanged smiles, and Zhang Ying let Chen Shaoping in.

"Sister Ying, don't bother making any, I bought plenty."

"It'll only take two minutes, otherwise it'll go to waste."

In the end, Chen Shaoping ate the breakfast Zhang Ying made, and Zhang Ying ate the breakfast Chen Shaoping bought.

Both had prepared a lot of food, and there was still quite a bit left over.

Perhaps because of the romantic scene last night, both were a bit shy, speaking less and acting a little reserved.

"Will the Qingbo you posted last night cause you any trouble?" Zhang Ying asked worriedly, biting into a mantou.

"Don't worry, Sister Ying, it won't have any impact."

"Those bad guys have all been re-arrested by the police, and it should expose some protective umbrellas as well."

Chen Shaoping replied, and at the same time, he realized why Zhang Ying had suddenly bitten him last night.

It turned out she knew about Shao Ping's alternate account.

"That's good, those people were really awful."

Hearing that the individuals had been re-arrested, Zhang Ying smiled, her voice much higher for the first three words.

After breakfast, they went to the company together.

"Sister Ying, why don't you ride in my car? Driving two cars is wasteful and not environmentally friendly."

"Okay."

Chen Shaoping drove, Zhang Ying sat in the passenger seat, and music played softly in the car.

"Sister Ying, this singer's voice is far from yours."

"By the way, Sister Ying. How about adding a few Cantonese songs to your album this time?"

"That's great. I was thinking the same thing, but I didn't know if you would write them, so I didn't mention it to you."

Zhang Ying replied, feeling sweet inside.
