464: Chapter 464 Pretense 464: Chapter 464 Pretense The sound of hurried footsteps reached Ji Yang’s ears as he pretended to be fast asleep in bed.
“Secretary Ji, Secretary Ji…” a calling voice rang out.
Ji Yang feigned the look of soone waking from a hangover, opened his eyes, and said with so confusion, “Who are you?”
The room was now full of people, their expressions complex.
“Secretary Ji, sothing terrible has happened!”
The speaker was an official, who had been introduced during the previous night’s drinking, but Ji Yang couldn’t rember him.
“Where’s Huang Song?” Ji Yang asked gravely.
“Secretary Ji, Secretary Huang Song and the others have all gone missing!”
Ji Yang responded with a sense of disbelief, “What’s going on?”
Another official quickly stated, “Secretary Ji, several families have had incidents today; their people have suddenly disappeared.”
“Gone missing?” Ji Yang seed even more puzzled and rubbed his temples.
Everyone looked to Ji Yang, and the suspicion they had harboured vanished.
Another official said, “Secretary Ji, we’ve looked into it and the entire leadership team in the town has gone missing.
It’s not just them; so elders have also disappeared.”
Now, Ji Yang showed a more serious concern, “Go on, you’ve got all confused.”
Everyone shared a bitter smile, as they too felt bewildered.
Then, one by one, they began to explain the whole situation.
“So you’re saying that after everyone finished drinking last night, those people all disappeared?”
“Yes, yes, that’s exactly what happened.
The whole town is in chaos, and despite searching, we have no idea where they’ve gone.”
Ji Yang quickly stood up and said, “Let’s go to the town governnt office.”
With the disappearance of Huang Song and the others, it now fell to Ji Yang to take charge.
So, the officials followed him like they had found a leader, heading towards the town governnt office.
When he entered Huang Song’s office, Ji Yang couldn’t help but lant that these town officials actually led rather luxurious lives.
Just from looking at their offices, it was clear that they had invested a lot of effort; despite claims of no road access, they were in close contact with the outside world, and many high-end items had been smuggled in.
Looking at the beautiful and radiant female officials, Ji Yang knew that these won were likely those played by Huang Song and his ilk.
However, Ji Yang was now all seriousness.
At that mont, many family mbers had co to the town governnt, demanding help to find their missing loved ones.
“Everyone, please, don’t panic.
I’ll imdiately notify the comrades at the county bureau to investigate,” he assured.
After speaking, Ji Yang dialed the county Public Security Bureau’s phone.
The call was promptly answered by Bao Chengguo, the deputy director of the county Public Security Bureau, who had been waiting for such a call.
In fact, Bao Chengguo only learned about the incident after receiving a call from Chu Zhendong.
Since Chu Zhendong’s arrival in Kuzhu Town, the county bureau had been under the control of Bao Chengguo, who had cast his lot with Ji Yang following Chu Zhendong’s lead.
After finishing the call, Ji Yang looked at the crowd and instructed, “Everyone must hold their positions and wait for the organization to investigate.”
As he spoke, Ji Yang glanced at Liu Qiushui.
Liu Qiushui hadn’t expected Ji Yang to act so swiftly and looked at him with admiration, recognizing that Ji Yang was truly dealing with those people.
Ji Yang had the officials reassure the agitated family mbers clamoring for assistance, then invited each family one by one into the office for a private interview.
In reality, Ji Yang’s aim was to et with Liu Qiushui and others.
“Secretary Ji, this is a list of available personnel I compiled last night.
Please take a look,” Liu Qiushui handed over a list to Ji Yang.
Ji Yang took it and examined it closely.
Addressing the issues in Kuzhu Town was necessary, but following that, staffing matters needed to be handled promptly.
Ji Yang urgently required such a list.
Liu Qiushui’s list was ticulously detailed.
Ji Yang saw that the first na on the list was Liu Qiushui’s, and he expressed surprise, “You’re also an official?”
Liu Qiushui smiled and said, “Actually, through connections, they turned so of their family mbers into officials.
I’m the director of the Won’s Federation for the town.”
“I thought you didn’t have a job!”
“Many things are decided by them.
In any case, Fan Guohai made a civil servant, and I’m technically one who passed the exam.”
Ji Yang studied Liu Qiushui and realized she was probably not that old.
“Unbelievable, isn’t it?
Don’t worry, all my procedures are in order, and there won’t be any issues even if soone cos to check.”
Ji Yang understood that they had probably bought or controlled too many people, so inserting a few individuals was not a problem at all.
“So this ans that from now on, you’re probably going to be among the leading officials in Kuzhu Town?”
Ji Yang couldn’t help but find it slightly amusing.
Liu Qiushui replied, “With those people missing, that really is the case now.”
“What a pity!” Ji Yang really wanted to use her, but then he thought about Fan Guohai being her husband.
Once Fan Guohai was taken down, she probably couldn’t stay there either.
Liu Qiushui smiled and said, “As long as they can be brought to justice, I’m okay with any outco.”
Ji Yang responded, “First, help rearrange these officials, and then I’ll transfer you to a position in the county.”
“I don’t want to stay in governnt work.
If there’s a business opportunity, I can help you with that,” she offered.
Liu Qiushui had thought the whole situation through, aware that if her husband had problems, she would not be able to go far.
Instead, it was better to work with Ji Yang.
Ji Yang also understood the situation and nodded slightly, “That sounds good.”
