Chapter 1271: Zhongtian's Betrayal

t Cai Shaohua who played tricks, and met Song Guoming and Zhang Qing who wanted me to stay at the Anjian station for life. 。Xiao Zheng really needed an opportunity to get out of this awkward situatio...Lu Zhixing called Sima Zhongtian again, but Sima Zhongtian didn't answer. 。While there have been instances where phones ran out of battery, as a key leader, they would immediately replace the battery and wouldn't allow their phone to remain without power for an extended period. 。Lu Zhi made his secretary contact Sima Zhongtian's office immediately, but there was no answer. 。Even Sima Zhongtian's own household claimed to be unaware of his whereabouts. 。Things must have gotten serious! Lu Zhixing immediately called the leader of the team from the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. 。

Huguang Jiwei Standing Committee member Xing Kaiduo was not in a hurry: "Secretary Lu, it's alright, I'll talk about it when I get there."

That evening, cadres from the Beijing Commission for Discipline Inspection and special police assisting in the mission arrived. 。

The one in charge, who went to the river to take away Sima Yue's Huanghou District Committee member Xing Kai. 。That day, Sima Yue was brought back to the Hua Jing Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation point in Xicheng. The main leaders of the Commission for Discipline Inspection praised: "This matter is well done!" Receiving praise from the main leaders, Xing Kai naturally felt happy: "Thank you, Secretary. This time, being able to successfully bring Sima Yue back is inseparable from the active cooperation of Secretary Jiang Zhongye and Governor Zhang." 。Secretary Ye is very magnanimous! Let's go up to the rostrum with him! I've never experienced this before! Taking a leader away from the venue has happened, but taking someone like the Deputy Secretary beside the top leader onto the rostrum... This is really unprecedented!The main leaders of the Commission laughed and said: "Secretary Ye and Governor Zhang are very generous! Over the past few years, Jiangzhong has produced so many talents! One after another, wave after wave, new waves rise while old waves recede, constantly emerging with achievements..." 。Not to mention comrades Xiong Qi, Lu Zaixing, and Ye Fengnian, who have already taken control of one side, even among the younger generation, they have also prepared a number of talents. 。I heard that among the young cadres in Jiangzhong, there's a husband-and-wife team named Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu. They are both excellent in all aspects and have achieved remarkable results! Xing Kai couldn't help but ask: "Aren't these all brought out by the leader when he was in Jiangzhong" The main leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission smiled and nodded: "Comrade Xing Kai, it seems that you also have a **big picture>>>" 。You are right. The leader is far-sighted. During his time working in Jiangzhong, he not only brought order to the governance of Jiangzhong and upgraded the economic and social development, but also took pains to cultivate and reserve a large number of talents! Xing Kaidao: "I see!" The main leaders of the Disciplinary Committee added: “Your trip to Jiangzhong has yielded fruitful results.” 。Alright, I'll give you another chance. Make one more achievement, go to the borderlands, and bring Sima Zhongtian back. 。“Xing Kai was startled: “Attack Sima Zhongtian immediately” The main leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission said: “Seize the opportunity, time waits for no man.” 。Even if we go now, we may not be able to bring Sima Zhongtian back! But, it doesn't matter, let's go and see what happens." Xing Kai said: "Yes, I'll leave right away." 。The father and son duo, Sima Zhongtian and Sima Yue, both hold important positions as provincial or ministerial-level leaders! Xing Kai personally handling this case against the father and son will undoubtedly become a major case for the Discipline Inspection Commission this year! This also demonstrates the trust that the top leadership of the Discipline Inspection Commission places in Xing Kai. 。Xing Kai thus kept in mind the words of the Party Discipline Inspection Commission’s leading officials, and went to the borderlands. 。He always felt that the main point of the Discipline Inspection Commission's leader, "Even if we go now, it doesn't guarantee we can bring Sima Zhongtian back! But, it's okay, let's go and see what happens!", seemed to hold a special meaning. 。That's why Xing Kai wasn't in such a hurry. 。The new Party Secretary of Jiangtu, Lu Zai Xing, has only been in his position for a short time. His work is still in the stages of understanding and adapting. 。Lu received Xingkai and others in his office. 。Lu Zhixing said apologetically, "Commissioner Xing, there's something I might have overlooked. " 。After you called me today, I asked Sima Zhongtian to come to my office. I want you to be able to meet him as soon as you arrive. 。

After I called him, he agreed verbally but didn't show up. Then, he disappeared! I don't know if my call scared him off Did it backfire

I'm sorry, if the chief asks, the blame isn't on Commissioner Xing, it's on me. I can go explain the situation.

Lu Zhixing's words were not mere flattery, he was genuinely worried that he might have done more harm than good! Xing Kai's mind flashed back to the Disciplinary Committee’s main leader saying, "It's not certain that we can bring Sima Zhongtian back! But it doesn't matter, we'll see when we get there!" It seemed as if the leader had foreseen this all along. 。Xing Kai also said: "Secretary Lu, you want Sima Zhongtian to come to your office. Is it to help us How can you say it's a bad thing If Sima Zhongtian agrees to come but doesn't show up and disappears, he's probably guilty and on the run! It doesn't matter, we'll start investigating now! We will definitely find him one day!"

Lu Zaixing saw that Xing Kai understood his intentions and was very determined. He said: "Commissar Xing, please tell us if there is anything we need to cooperate with!"

At this time, two Land Rover off-road vehicles crossed the desert and mountains, all the way to the border 。Here, it is already deserted; even the local herdsmen are afraid of running out of food and dare not come. Only the stationed troops and a small company excavating jade are here. 。The two SUVs arrived at the entrance of the mine and flashed their credentials to the guard. The vehicles then entered the mine area and drove directly into a mine shaft, disappearing into the mountains. 。。This country is the birthplace of the "Black Eyes" organization. War, poverty, and disease run rampant on this land. The lives of the poor are uncertain, hanging by a thread between life and death. 。Sima Zhongtian and his loyal followers had abandoned their homeland and sought refuge in this chaotic nation. 。Both of these Land Rovers were carrying a large quantity of gold, jewelry, and cash, worth a fortune. 。The tunnel they used to cross lay in the border mountains, relying on a small mine controlled by Sima Zhongtian. It dug through the mountain from underground all the way to the neighboring country. 。In that country, armies fight amongst themselves. As long as you offer them benefits and weapons, any terms can be negotiated. 。Therefore, the tunnel was successfully completed. 。Originally, Sima Zhongtian wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary. However, yesterday he received news that his son Sima Yue was suddenly taken away by the Beijing Commission for Discipline Inspection; Sima Zhongtian felt that the situation was very bad, so he immediately called his old leader Cao Gao Peng to ask for help; But today, when he called Cao Gao Peng, Cao Gao Peng didn't answer at first, and later when he called again, it was turned off. Sima Zhongtian felt that the situation might have worsened! In the afternoon, Lu Zaixing, the Secretary of Frontier Regions, called him again, asking him to go to his office. Sima Zhongtian became even more frightened. 。According to the way the Beijing Commission for Discipline Inspection works, they must have had ample evidence before taking their son away. 。Furthermore, Lao Cao had never refused his calls, but today he chose to switch off his phone. This clearly shows that Lao Cao must have seen some irrefutable evidence, realized that Sima Zhongtian had deceived him, and decided to draw a line with Sima Zhongtian!

Faced with all this, Sima Zhongtian gritted his teeth and called upon his confidante to flee together!

Sitting in the car, Sima Zhongtian saw along the way this small border country, sparsely populated cities, dilapidated villages, women wearing headscarves. It's not as good as the western frontier of China! On the one hand, Sima Zhongtian secretly felt fortunate that if he hadn't made preparations earlier, used the small mining area as a cover, and dug an underground passage through the border, he might have been arrested like his son, Sima Yue!

On the other hand, Sima Yue also had an unstoppable sense of loss. That is, from today onwards, Sima Yue would embark on the path of exile without a homeland, and when he could return was unknown. 。How many years will his own son spend in prison

But the Sima family never gives up. Sima Zhongtian plans to wait until after he meets with the leader of the Black Eyes organization, then stabilize for a while, find a few women over here, and have a bunch of children first. 。The bloodline of the Sima family must be passed down. 。Since it is difficult for the Sima family to flourish in China any longer, they can only branch out and spread their influence overseas. As long as he has enough descendants, he will not have to worry too much about his son Sima Yue. 。Sima Zhongtian was born for the family, not for a son. 。Huatong, a Standing Committee member of the Beijing Commission for Discipline Inspection, asked Lu Zai to help him find Sima Zhongtian's whereabouts in the territory. 。 Sima Zhongtian lived in a wealthy area of the territory, and there were surveillance cameras from the local police around it. 。They found from the surveillance footage that two Range Rovers drove out of the street where Sima Zhongtian lived. 。Not many people could afford to have two Land Rovers here, the Sima family being the most likely. 。Immediately, the police began tracking the whereabouts of the two Land Rovers. 。Unfortunately, the surveillance of territory is far from complete. Even within cities, it's hit or miss, and some places have nothing at all! But based on what we can gather, the Land Rover is heading west towards the city center. 。As expected, the two Range Rovers were spotted again on the city exit surveillance. However, once they entered the desert highway, there was no more monitoring, and their whereabouts remained unknown. 。

Hua Jing's Standing Committee member Xing Kaiju immediately reported to the leaders of the committee and obtained permission to use relevant satellites. 。From the satellite images, we could see those two Land Rovers speeding towards the border. At one point, a few men got out of the car to relieve themselves, and one of them looked a bit like Sima Zhongtian. After zooming in on the image, we were able to confirm it was indeed Sima Zhongtian!

The car then set off again, heading west all the way to the border before finally disappearing into a jade mine. Lu Zhixing immediately requested that Xinjiang police cooperate with Beijing Discipline Inspection Commission personnel and special forces to go to the border jade mine for a search. They discovered a tunnel leading to a neighboring country had been dug in the mining area! While this wasn't yet treason, it was a serious threat to national security and a severe violation of national defense laws. 。The jade mine was immediately sealed off. 。Besides, the police searching for Sima Zhongtian's other team also found that Sima Zhongtian's group of confidants had disappeared together. Moreover, the basement of Sima Zhongtian's house was broken into, and there were signs that some valuables had been transported away! Through satellite images and the situation within Sima Zhongtian's family, it is clear that Sima Zhongtian has undoubtedly defected!reasonable. 。But on this matter, Minister Lu doesn't want to get too involved. 。Because this period of time is also very important for Lu Zai Xing. 。As the provincial leadership team faces a change of...
