Just placed it to his ear.

A man's voice came from the other end: "Let Chen Fang take the call."

Mei Yiru was startled, immediately handing it to Chen Fang.

At this moment, Chen Fang had already realized that Fang Kui was in trouble.

He immediately took the phone and asked, "Who are you? Where is Fang Kui?"

"Chief Chen, you can't even recognize my voice, can you?"

"Lin Jie! It's you?"

The worst fear had been realized.

Chen Fang steadied his nerves and asked, "What do you want?"

"Chief Chen must be very anxious now, right? A team member missing, and this team member is a key figure, right? Do you think if something happens to her, the big leader above would let you get away with it?"

Lin Jie asked leisurely.

"What do you want? Speak directly!"

"I have no grudge with her. Whether I harm her or not is irrelevant to me, but I do have a minor conflict with Chief Chen. Now that things have escalated to this point, it must be resolved, don't you think?"

"Speak directly, what do you want?"

Chen Fang asked.

Lin Jie paused and said, "I want to meet you face to face."

"Alright, give me the time and place!"

"Don't rush, Chief Chen. I'm not finished yet. I want to meet you alone, don't bring your subordinates along."

As Lin Jie finished speaking.

The people around Chen Fang immediately shook their heads.

Chen Fang didn't hesitate.

Said, "Alright, I'll meet with you!"

"Hahaha..."

A hearty laugh from Lin Jie.

He said, "Chief Chen, don't agree so quickly. How about I give you a choice? First, bring your people to find me, and then I'll inform the officials from Nanliang Province and Zhongqing City; they will likely choose to flee immediately. Second, come alone, send your people to make arrests, and I promise not to tip them off. Shouldn't you consider carefully which option to choose?"

It must be said.

Lin Jie is truly ruthless.

Now there are 49 people on the list provided by Li Yu Huan.

Every one of them must be brought in.

If Lin Jie informs them that they've been exposed, many of these 49 people might choose to run away.

And to arrest these 49 people, the local police and disciplinary inspection agencies can't be alerted.

So, the inspection team has to handle it themselves.

Even catching two at a time, there aren't enough people to spare, how can anyone be assigned to protect Chen Fang?

Of course.

If Chen Fang brings people to meet Lin Jie.

Then many of these corrupt officials might truly get away.

If some slip through the net, the case won't be considered a success.

In other words, to seek revenge on Chen Fang, he's willing to sacrifice the entire "Lin faction."

"I don't need to think. I said, I'll meet you alone."

Chen Fang responded.

"Great! Straightforward! I like people like you, Chief Chen. Now head out, drive west, and I'll inform you how to proceed once you're on the road."

With that.

There was a click, as the call was abruptly ended.

"Chief Chen, you can't go! That bastard Lin Jie won't let you off easily."

Huang Zhiyao was the first to object.

Chen Fang nodded and said, "I know, but if I don't go, our arrest operation can't be completed. This kid has planned it all out."

Faced with such a situation.

It's indeed difficult to make a decision.

On one hand, there's danger that's fully foreseeable.

On the other, it affects the entire inspection team's operation's success.

"Alright! Since you've decided, I'll go with you!"

Su Tang was the first to stand up, speaking to Chen Fang.

As soon as the words were out.

Huang Zhiyao, Jiang Feng, and Mei Yiru all also volunteered to accompany him.

Chen Fang waved them off and refused.

Said, "You guys need to continue making the arrest plan. We don't have enough people, and must catch all 49 of them before they're aware of their exposure."

"No, we can't let you face danger alone."

Huang Zhiyao shouted, his face flushed.

Chen Fang took a deep breath and said, "What I just said was not discussing, but ordering. I'm still the leader of the inspection team, and you should listen to me, comrades. No matter what, the big picture is paramount. Moreover, I should tell you that Fang Kui isn't an ordinary person, she's the daughter of Fang, the deputy dean of the National Conditions General Institute..."

Upon hearing this.

Everyone was stunned.

They now realized the seriousness of the matter.

If Fang Kui really encountered trouble.

Even if the inspection team's task is highly successful, in a sense, it would be considered a major failure.

"Alright, identity is secondary. Even if it were any of you, I wouldn't hesitate to choose to save someone. I've been through these situations many times, and I have quite a bit of experience, so don't worry about me; I'll handle it."

After saying this.

He turned to Huang Zhiyao and said, "Zhixiao, while I'm not here, you'll command the entire operation. I'll have Chen Zhenyi come over to assist you, as she's more familiar with the situation regarding the officials here."

Although Huang Zhiyao was unwilling.

He knew that this was the best option at the moment.

He nodded, a little choked up, and said, "Take care!"

"I will."

Chen Fang gave a last glance at everyone and then resolutely walked away.

Just reached the corridor.

A voice came from behind: "Chief Chen, wait a moment!"

He turned around.

It was Su Tang, whose eyes were slightly red.

Su Tang suddenly rushed over, ignoring everyone's gaze, embraced Chen Fang, and said emotionally: "Chief Chen, it took me over five years to finally meet you. You must come back; I'll be waiting for you here."

Chen Fang smiled slightly.

Said, "I'm quite lucky; do your work well and wait for me to come back."

With that.

He waved to everyone.

Said, "Alright, don't see me off; go do your work!"

After saying this.

He quickly went downstairs.

Found a car.

Stepped on the gas and left the base.

In the meeting room.

Everyone watched his departing figure, as if he was going willingly to a sure death.

Huang Zhiyao took a deep breath, turned to everyone, and said, "Since Chief Chen has entrusted us with the task, we must complete it flawlessly. Let's get to work, and I'll start assigning arrest tasks..."

Chen Fang headed west.

At this moment, he didn't know that just as his vehicle pulled out of the base gates, an off-road vehicle began to follow him at a distance, neither too close nor too far away.

Driving along, Chen Fang went for more than three hours.

At the moment.

He had long left Zhongqing City and was approaching the edge of Weichu City.

The phone rang.

It was a text message.

The message was simple, instructing him to head to Dali City, where he would receive further directions.
