Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t think about this problem until he sat in the car.

There were two people going there on behalf of the Chengzhou Municipal Government, one was Xu Weiguo and the other was Jiang Xiaochuan, and they were sitting in the same car.

They were going to pick up people on National Highway 142 on the edge of Chengzhou City. The personnel on the other side of the Dian River escorted Qian Qiming back and sent him to Chengzhou City. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was responsible for the rest. After all, Qian Qiming was also the deputy mayor. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection couldn’t investigate directly. It could only be investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Provincial Party Committee, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection can only assist.

Ordinary cars with government vehicle license plates drove from Chengzhou City to the outside. The height of the buildings began to decrease, and the air becomes more transparent. Gradually, they went down from the urban area along the national highway. The green trees on both sides had become cleaner, and various construction and development zones were springing up like mushrooms on the edge of the city. The economic construction of Chengzhou City was showing a prosperous scene.

No wonder Fu Peng and others spoke in front of the media about how bright the development prospects of Chengzhou City actually were. Looking at these development zones alone, everything seemed good.

It was a pity… there were not many good people in the core of the municipal government.

Xu Weiguo was an honest man who looked very sincere. He was in charge of Chengzhou’s health industry. Among the nine deputy mayors, he was considered the most honest. However, Jiang Xiaochuan knew that it was impossible for an honest person to reach this position. People like Xu Weiguo were even more terrifying.

Jiang Xiaochuan did not speak to Xu Weiguo. Xu Weiguo seemed to be checking the time frequently. When Jiang Xiaochuan noticed that he frequently looked at his watch, he smiled sincerely and explained: “I’m afraid I’ll be late. Before I left, I told the mayor that we must be on time.”

Jiang Xiaochuan also raised his watch and took a look but said nothing more.

.

This section of the national highway was under tight security. Jiang Xiaochuan and his municipal party committee and government convoys were surrounded by armed personnel to protect them. The road was clean, and there were no other vehicles in sight. For a corrupt official like Qian Qiming to reach this point, it was already not easy.

At the distribution port near a large toll station, many cars from other provinces were parked, waiting to be picked up by the responsible department on the Shu capital side. The handover work was being done at the Dian River near the Shu capital intersection.

This time, it was still repetitive work.

It was a typical prison car with iron bars on the windows. Jiang Xiaochuan saw Lian Cheng when he got out of the car.

Lian Cheng was communicating with the people in charge of Shu. After going through a series of necessary procedures, someone finally got off the prison vehicle. Armed police officers and soldiers with live ammunition stood around the vehicle, guns in hand, observing the surroundings.

The entire handover was very orderly. After Lian Cheng finished speaking, he took a few steps back. Jiang Xiaochuan happened to stand up. On behalf of the city government, he wanted to express condolences to the people responsible for escorting. However, when he looked back, Deputy Mayor Xu Weiguo was still standing behind. So, Jiang Xiaochuan greeted him: “Mayor Xu, it’s our turn -”

At this moment, the rear door of the prison car had just opened, and Qian Qiming, with a haggard face, appeared in front of everyone, his eyes sunken, having lost his former glory.

The people closest to the two prison vehicles were the armed police with live ammunition and the handover personnel like Jiang Xiaochuan and Lian Cheng. However, Xu Weiguo and his entourage were at the back. Li Jiaming, a senior official of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, was still talking to the people on the other side of the Dian River. Amidst the trivial work details, everything seemed so normal.

Jiang Xiaochuan was standing two steps away from Lian Cheng. He turned around and called out to Xu Weiguo, which naturally attracted Lian Cheng’s attention. With his shout, Lian Cheng also looked at Xu Weiguo.

Xu Weiguo smiled and said, “Coming right away.”

As he said that, he lowered his head and adjusted his cuffs, and a dazzling light reflected on the surface of his wrist.

Jiang Xiaochuan was speechless. When did Xu Weiguo pay so much attention to his appearance? He also glanced at the time. It took him a long time to get here, and it was almost half-past ten. The second hand kept ticking, and there were only five small spaces left to move to the twelve positions.

Five seconds to half-past ten.

Five.

Xu Weiguo was still sorting out his clothes, with a slightly strange smile on his face.

Four.

Qian Qiming over there finally stood up, and with the help of the surrounding staff, he stretched out a leg and wanted to get down.

Three.

Lian Cheng frowned and saw Xu Weiguo taking a small step forward.

Two.

Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly felt something was wrong. He subconsciously glanced at Xu Weiguo and then at Qian Qiming behind him.

One.

The people around were arranged in concentric circles around the prison vehicle, scattered, with Jiang Xiaochuan and the others as the center. Xu Weiguo suddenly fell to the ground as if he had stumbled. Lian Cheng keenly noticed a soft “beep” sound coming from the prison car behind him!

“Get down!”

Zero.

“Boom–”

Thunder exploded!

Jiang Xiaochuan was thrown to the ground by Lian Cheng beside him, and his forehead hit the ground. The pain was severe. It was like being hit by a pile driver behind him. The scorching heat wave almost knocked him over!

There was a roaring in his ears. Jiang Xiaochuan couldn’t hear or feel anything. He just tried his best to open his eyes. The prison car had been torn into pieces. The fragments of the car body were flying all over the ground. There were blood stains around the car. Already surrounded by raging flames – it was bombs.
