Chapter 452: Chapter 281: You Have Already Chosen Your Path to Death (Triple Release) Part 2

Director Duan nodded, "Alright, sorry to trouble you."

"It’s my duty." Secretary Ji replied and then turned to leave the lounge.

About ten minutes later, the door to the lounge was pushed open, and under the guidance of Secretary Ji, Director Duan walked into a very spacious office next door.

Behind the desk, an elderly man, appearing to be in his fifties with an imposing presence, was reviewing the documents on the table.

"Leader, Director Duan is here," Secretary Ji whispered.

The elderly man put down the pen in his hand and looked up, "Oh, Duan, what brings you here today? Have a seat."

Director Duan smiled, "Haha, I heard from Secretary Ji that you have some time today, so I thought I’d come over to report work to you."

The elderly man got up from behind the desk, moved to the seating area, and gestured for Director Duan to sit down, "Come, have a seat and talk."

Director Duan nodded, waiting for the other to sit down first before he sat down himself.

Secretary Ji poured tea for the two of them and then left the office, closing the door behind.

The elderly man glanced at Director Duan, smiling faintly, "You look much older recently, all the work has fallen on you while Lao Wan is recuperating, hasn’t it?"

Director Duan touched his graying temples, "Haha, it’s alright. Our work is relatively straightforward. There isn’t too much that requires my attention, unlike you who are busy every day."

"Hmm." The elderly man took a sip of tea, his gaze lingering on Director Duan, "You’ve done an excellent job lately. Lao Wan has always said you have a big-picture view, and he’s at ease entrusting the work to you."

"Do the work at hand sincerely and diligently. If there’s anything you need from us locally, feel free to say."

Hearing this, Director Duan internally sighed. Although the other party didn’t explicitly say it, he already understood their stance.

The two chatted in the office for more than ten minutes, after which Director Duan took his leave.

After stepping out of the office building, he glanced back and then took out his phone to dial a number.

"He’s not willing to give us this face."

"Ah, it was expected." The person on the other end of the call sighed.

Director Duan rubbed his lower back, saying somewhat helplessly, "That guy has indeed made significant contributions, and he has certain connections abroad. We can’t just give up on him, right?"

There was a long silence on the other end before a determined voice responded, "Doesn’t he follow the rules? Let him pick two people for Ge Dabao to investigate, and we’ll also show him the rules."

Director Duan immediately perked up, his previously slouched posture straightening, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, "Alright, I understand." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Hmm, go ahead with it."

Back in the office building, after sending off Director Duan, Secretary Ji returned to the previous office.

The elderly man stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, asking without turning his head, "How are things on their side?"

Secretary Ji shook his head, "Still not willing to admit."

"The anti-smuggling bureau has found solid evidence and is proceeding to confirm it. Once the evidence is secured, the prosecution will take over, and by then he will most likely not be able to withstand it."

The elderly man nodded slightly, "Quickly get what he has in his hands."

"We’ve underestimated this guy a little, didn’t expect his background to be so noteworthy. Not only has Lao Duan approached us, but even some people from Shanghai are reaching out to me."

"Shanghai?" Secretary Ji was taken aback.

...

On the other side, at the entrance of the warehouse opposite the New District Branch, Chen Wei sat in a business vehicle with Lao Ying and Lao Bai.

Lao Bai yawned and asked, "Are you guys hungry? I can go grab something to eat."

Lao Ying wiped his face, replying somewhat tiredly, "Sure, get some pilaf, I want the lamb leg."

"Where would you find pilaf this early in the morning?" Lao Bai replied somewhat speechlessly.

"Then get some baked buns."

"Alright." Lao Bai nodded, opened the door, and got out to buy food.

After he left, Lao Ying sat up from the back seat and took two sips from a water bottle, "Do you think anyone will find us here?"

At the driver’s seat, Chen Wei shook his head, "I don’t know, but what’s inside is very important to the boss."

He was constantly by Qi Yun’s side and understood him best, knowing how important the artifacts in the warehouse were to Qi Yun. So after confirming Zhao Qing and Nuannuan’s safety last night, he came here with his men to keep watch.

"You should get some sleep; I’ll keep watch." Lao Ying patted his shoulder, "When we came over that night, I checked and no one was tailing us."

Chen Wei’s expression was serious, pointing to a nearby surveillance camera, "They will certainly be able to find this place too."

Qi Yun had once told him about the matter of the USB, so Chen Wei knew who was targeting Qi Yun. Given their capabilities, finding this place wouldn’t be difficult.

Just as the two were talking, seven or eight cars with a "Customs" logo suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

Chen Wei’s pupils contracted sharply, his expression immediately tensing. If those arriving were official personnel, the three of them could do very little...

Lao Ying also straightened up, squinting at the convoy of cars.

In just a minute or two, the seven or eight vehicles stopped directly in front of the warehouse, and then more than twenty officers quickly got out of the cars, heading this way.

A vehicle belonging to the New District Branch was also parked in front of the warehouse, and the officers inside, seeing the others heading towards the warehouse, immediately got out of their car and blocked the way.

"What are you doing?"

Leading the way, Director Han, looked at the two New District Branch officers who suddenly appeared, his face unmoved, as if he had anticipated it.

He took out his credentials and flashed them, "Anti-smuggling bureau on business! We received a report suspecting that there are illegal smuggled goods in this warehouse. We need to conduct a search according to the law!"
