Chapter Forty-Four Departure

  Hearing this person's tone, apart from the Director of the Public Opinion Bureau, Wu Renyi, who else would speak in such a way? However, Qiu Lao heard it and furrowed his brow. Although he had known Wu Renyi for many years, he still couldn't get used to Director Wu's way of speaking. After glancing at Wu Renyi, Director Qiu said: "Not you, not your... I didn't catch up with today's events..."

  At this point, Director Qiu paused for a moment, and his next words were somewhat incoherent. It seemed that even if he had been present at the time, there was no better way to handle the incident. Looking at Director Qiu's embarrassed expression, Wu Renyi smiled indifferently and then turned to Gao Liang, saying: "I'm going out for a few days, I'll take Yang Xiao with me, Yang Jun will stay here, if anything happens, you can find him..."

  Something big just happened, and Wu Renyi is about to leave the Public Opinion Bureau. What exactly is he hiding in his gourd? Sun Pangzi and Gao Liang exchanged a glance, then Sun Deputy Director looked at Director Wu and asked: "At this time, where are you going?"

  "Where else can you go?" Wu Renyu's face was expressionless, but his tone was sarcastic. "Go wipe your butts, you've been wiping for so long, aren't you used to it yet? I don't know when you'll be able to wipe once by yourselves. At least I won't have to wipe as frequently, that's all I ask."

  "Oh?" Sun Peng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he blinked at Wu Renyi, pausing for a moment before saying: "Not that I'm saying this, Director Wu, but you're being quite proactive this time. We're still not quite used to it. Are you going to Nanjing? Do you need me to find some people to accompany you, or even just to lend a hand?"

  Wu Renyi didn't answer directly, he just glanced at Sun Baozi and said: "Either you come, I'll take the opportunity to brush off the fat on your body." Wu Renyi said this casually, but Sun Baozi couldn't help but shudder. Just as he was about to make up some nonsense to change the subject, Gao Liang suddenly spoke up beside him, saying: "This matter is a bit special, in order to facilitate leaving a record afterwards, apart from Yang Xiao, you need to bring one more person."

  "That's just right" Wu Renyi smiled at Sun Baozi and said: "Except for you, I won't choose a second person"

  "Wait a minute, it shouldn't be me no matter how you calculate it." Sun Baozi immediately raised an objection: "Not to mention the few people in this house, even if we line up all the people from the Public Opinion Bureau. I shouldn't be among the first hundred, should I?"

  After Sun Pangzi finished speaking, Gao Liang glared at her and said: "Why do you say such shameless words without any sense of embarrassment? As the deputy director of the Public Opinion Bureau, your professional ability is ranked among the last few. Does it make sense for you to say such things?"

  Sun Baozi turned his head and glanced at Gao Liang, saying: "Let's settle one thing at a time. As for the matter of improving my business skills, let's talk about it later."

  Sun said, pausing for a moment, then continued with a bitter face to Wu Renyi: "Not that I'm saying, Director Wu. If you take me there, eight or nine out of ten times I'll hold you back. Let me recommend someone to you, the second room's Xiong Wanyi, he's really not bad. He's been wanting to help you for a long time now, how about giving him an opportunity? Wait, I'll call him down right away."

  Wu Renyi looked at Sun Baozi with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression. After he finished speaking, Director Wu said: "If your nonsense was useful, I'd let you keep talking until Liu Baozhen is fed up to death." At this point, Wu Renyi paused for a moment, looking at Sun Baozi's face full of knots, and suddenly changed his tone: "I'm not one to deny you opportunities. You go find another person to follow along, as long as it's not Yang Jun, anyone else is fine."

  Sun Baozi listened to Wu Renqi and Gao Liang's tone, this time he couldn't help but follow. After his eyeballs rolled around in their sockets a few times, he looked at Wu Renqi and said: "Am I right, you're saying that except for Yang Jun, anyone else is fine, is that what you mean?"

  He had barely finished speaking when Gao Liang immediately followed up and said, "I won't be able to either."

  "I know you can't, and I didn't plan on letting you follow us anyway." Sun Baozi looked at Gao Liang with some helplessness, then stretched out his hand to point at someone sitting on the sofa, continuing: "It's him, I want him to come along with us."

  The person Sun Baozi pointed at was startled, he didn't expect to be chosen by Sun Baozi. After a slight panic, the man said: "Sun, my friend, are you sure it's me? Or did you mean to point at Director Qiu instead? You've mistaken me."

  Sun Baozi gritted his teeth and rushed into the rain, laughing and saying: "I'm not blind, you and Director Qiu are two different kinds of goods, can I be wrong? Director Yu Guo, you don't know, if you go out with a foreigner by your side, it's better than having a county head. Whatever happens, just say you're a foreign investor and nothing will happen."

  Sun Baozi chose the rain fruit, even Gao Hualiang didn't think of it. However, Director Gao's face did not reveal any extra expression, he nodded and said to Sun Baozi: "Wait for a while until Yang Xiao arrives, you will all be ready, prepare and then you can set off. If there are problems that Director Wu can solve, let Director Wu handle them. If Director Wu cannot solve the problem, don't come looking for me either, just handle it yourself."

  Sun Baozi looked at Gao Liang and suddenly sighed, saying: "Director, it's better not to say this, now my heart is even more uneasy." As soon as Sun Baozi finished speaking, a white-haired man with a baby face walked into the office. He first smiled slightly shyly, then said: "Director Wu, you asked me..."

  After leaving the polling station, the four of them got into Sun Baozi's car and sped towards the airport. Sun Baozi drove while chatting, "Not that I'm saying, Director Wu, but what's the plan for this trip to Nanjing? Are we going to be active in the city or in the old town area?"

  When Sun Baozi spoke, Wu Renyi was closing his eyes to rest. After hearing Sun Baozi's words, his eyes were still closed, and he only said with his mouth: "Who said they wanted to go to Nanjing?"

  Sun Baozi was stunned for a moment, he really couldn't think of where Liu Baozhen's soul could go after leaving the capital.

  Sun Baozi took a glance at Wu Renyi in the rearview mirror, who seemed to be asleep, and asked somewhat awkwardly: "If not Nanjing, where else could it be?"

  After listening to Sun Baozi's words, Wu Renyi finally opened his eyes. He looked at Sun Baozi and, unusually, said a few more sentences: "If you were locked up for no reason for over a hundred years, what would be the first thing you'd want to do after being let out?"

  Sun Baozi blinked his eyes and said after a pause: "Do nothing, find the person who locked me up, break one of their legs first."

  Wu Renyi said, "Now the city of Nanjing is no longer what it used to be. At first, Liu Baozhen was just a troublemaker between Hong Xiuquan and Zeng Guofan. In fact, Zhang Renzheng was making unnecessary moves. As long as Liu Baozhen had spoken out, everything would have naturally dissipated. But Zhang Renzheng insisted on creating more complications. However, he still has some tricks up his sleeve. Zhang Renzheng divided Liu Baozhen's soul into two parts, putting the larger part with the heavier aura into a jar and storing it in the White Cloud Temple, while hiding the smaller part of the soul in a place within the Dragon Tiger Mountain."

  Now that it's come to this, Sun Baozong finally understood the meaning behind Wu Renyi's words: "Mount Longhu... he wants to go to Mount Longhu to find his own soul. Let's go somewhere and wait for him. I'm not saying, Director Wu, do we have to go all the way to Mount Longhu to intercept him? Can't you, with your vast abilities, just catch Liu Baozhen on the road?"

  Wu Ren'ai looked at him and didn't respond. Yang Xiao spoke up for him, "If there was a corpse, it would be easier to handle, but this person has been dead for over a hundred years, even summoning his soul is impossible。 It's fundamentally impossible to know his exact whereabouts"

  After finally figuring it out, Sun Baozi pulled the car over to the side of the road and took out his phone book intending to call Gao Hualiang, but then he remembered Director Gao's "instructions" earlier and instead dialed a different number, calling the pilot of the Civil Aviation Bureau's special plane to have him contact the control tower and prepare to change their flight route from Nanjing to an airport in Jiangxi.

  Fortunately, it was already the second half of the night, and there were no planes taking off or landing at this time. The airport reluctantly changed the flight destination for the Civil Affairs Bureau's charter plane.
