Chapter 1517 1517

When faced with Qu Xiangru's inquiry, Jiang Wangshan shook his head and just said, "We received a call from Governor Lu."

Qu Xiangru's expression was somewhat strange, and Hall Director Qi felt a chill in his heart.

Although he had guessed it was Lu Zhizhong who used his connections, hearing it confirmed from Jiang Wangshan still left him shocked.

"Ahem." Director Feng lightly coughed and said, "Director Jiang, let's set off, so that Song Guanchao doesn't escape."

Qu Xiangru raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Wangshan explained, "According to the investigators, Song Guanchao resisted arrest during his capture, attacked the police, and is now at large. Director Feng has pinpointed Song Guanchao's exact location; we are heading there to apprehend him."

Qu Xiangru said, "I'll go too."

Hall Director Qi nodded, "Let's go together."

Director Feng naturally did not refuse, even hoping they would come along.

Let them see how Song Guanchao resisted arrest!

Upon reaching the parking lot, Jiang Wangshan suddenly asked, "Which car is Captain Sun using?"

He had not forgotten what Song Guanchao had instructed him.

Director Feng was puzzled but still pointed to two cars, "They use these two cars."

Jiang Wangshan turned his head to the two policemen beside him and said, "You stay here, watch these two cars, and don't let anyone get close."

Director Feng gave a puzzled look, feeling quite confused and bewildered inside.

But he didn't ask further questions.

The two policemen nodded and stayed in the parking lot.

The others went separately in the two cars.

Meanwhile, Director Feng also arranged for six policemen to accompany them.

A total of four cars left the parking lot, heading toward Song Guanchao's current location.

On the road, Jiang Wangshan quickly sent a text message to Song Guanchao, informing him that they were on their way.

"Come on." Song Guanchao replied with just these two words.

Song Guanchao's original plan was for Jiang Wangshan to directly retrieve the dashcam footage, confirm he was a victim through the recordings, and then bring people to rescue him.

Coming directly like this… the plan deviated somewhat, but overall it was still on track.

In the little grove.

Song Guanchao's body was buried in the soil, with only his head exposed, a cigarette lit by Lu Feng dangling from his mouth as he puffed smoke.

After about half an hour, Song Guanchao said, "It's about time, you should go, don't let anyone see."

"I'll wait over there for a bit." Lu Feng pointed to the distant woods.

He couldn't actually leave too far, after all, Song Guanchao was completely buried.

If no one was watching, should anything happen, it would truly be a call unanswered to heaven, and earth would not respond.

A few minutes later, Li Zhijun drove off, and Lu Feng hid in the distant woods.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the sound of a car came from outside the small grove.

Before long, a total of four cars followed the tire tracks on the muddy ground one after another.

"Get out of the car!"

Director Feng killed the engine and parked, pushed open the car door, and after taking a look around, said, "There are tire tracks here, indicating Song Guanchao is nearby, search!"

Just as he finished speaking, before the other police officers could start searching the area, a voice remarkably weak came from not far away.

"Here..."

"Stop!" Director Feng raised his hand to make everyone stop.

He tilted his ear to continue listening.

"Here..."

The weak voice sounded again.

This time, everyone else heard it too.

Those familiar with Song Guanchao, Qu Xiangru, and Lin Wanqiu immediately recognized it as Song Guanchao's voice!

The normally aloof Executive Deputy Governor, at this moment when hearing such a weak voice, her emotions suddenly became agitated.

Lin Wanqiu's emotions were also very agitated.

The two women immediately looked in the direction from where the sound came.

But they couldn't see anything.

"I heard Song Guanchao's voice!" Lin Wanqiu said urgently.

"Do not speak!" Qu Xiangru reprimanded, looking towards the direction of the sound, shouting, "Song Guanchao, where are you?"

Jiang Wangshan and Hall Director Qi stood nearby, watching the two women with rather strange expressions.

Jiang Wangshan knew Lin Wanqiu and Song Guanchao had a somewhat ambiguous relationship.

Song Guanchao had once used his connections for Lin Wanqiu, forcefully suppressing her then-fiancé.

Whether or not they had already crossed that line... Jiang Wangshan didn't know.

But he thought, they probably had.

What truly surprised him was Qu Xiangru.

The Executive Deputy Governor's reaction at the moment was very strange indeed.

Did Song Guanchao also manage to win her over?

Thinking this, Jiang Wangshan felt an inexplicable admiration.

Hall Director Qi also noticed it.

He, being in a high position, had seen countless people; Qu Xiangru's current reaction was very genuine, without any pretense.

If Qu Xiangru had a man outside, he wouldn't be surprised at all.

But that man being Song Guanchao... that was very surprising.

"Here..."

Song Guanchao's voice rang out once more.

As soon as the sound was heard, the two women immediately ran towards its source.

They ran around several large trees and suddenly stopped dead in their tracks.

What they saw before them was shocking.

Others, seeing the two women stop, curiously followed to catch up.

Then, they too displayed the same reaction as the two women.

Seeing Song Guanchao buried underground with only his head exposed, everyone's minds went blank.

What was happening here?

How did he get buried?

After a brief moment of bewilderment and shock, the two women were the first to regain their senses and quickly rushed forward.

They stood by Song Guanchao's side, at a loss for what to do.

"Are… are you okay?" Lin Wanqiu knelt down, looking at Song Guanchao whose face and eyelashes were covered with dirt, with even his hair filled with it, her eyes instantly reddened, misting over with a layer of tears.

"No, I'm fine." Song Guanchao's condition was weak, as if he could faint and lose consciousness at any moment.

Qu Xiangru initially also wanted to squat down, but seeing Lin Wanqiu's reaction made her quickly calm down.

She looked at Lin Wanqiu for a few seconds, then at Song Guanchao, showing a trace of self-deprecation.

This man was truly charismatic.

She didn't know this woman's identity, but she came with Director Jiang from Beijing, obviously indicating she was also from Beijing.

Moreover, her identity was probably extraordinary.

Yet, she didn't know when Song Guanchao got involved with her.

Director Feng beside her was dumbfounded, full of confusion.

How could this be?

Wasn't Song Guanchao supposed to be on the run?

How did he end up buried here?

"Get him out!" Jiang Wangshan said.

"Yes, get him out."

Director Feng temporarily couldn't think of much more; getting him out was the priority.

Song Guanchao was very surprised at heart; he knew Lin Wanqiu would come, but didn't expect Qu Xiangru to show up as well.

He just sneaked a glance, did this woman seem jealous?

No way, I need to play dead.

And so, Song Guanchao rolled his eyes back and fainted.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Wanqiu was terrified, wanted to pat his face, but didn't dare to apply force.

Qu Xiangru initially didn't want to care, yet seeing him faint, even the concern she forcibly restrained couldn't be suppressed, urged, "Quickly, get him out!"
