Chapter 745 Smell Danger
“Do you think he’s… corrupt?” Jian Xiaodan asked, his face gloomy.
Although Gaoleng and Jane Xiaodan did not know that Mu Xiaoleng’s assets amounted to tens of millions in Europe, Mu Xiaoleng was actually able to arrive in Europe smoothly at such a critical juncture. Moreover, there was no news of him. It could be seen that Mu Zhengtang had been prepared for this.
If they had been prepared, who would have been prepared to flee at any time? Either he was embezzled and prepared to escape, or he knew that he was trapped in a trap and was doomed.
“Who knows?” Gaoleng sighed helplessly and shook his head. “Officials are hard to say sometimes. I can only try my best.”
Yeah, who knows? There is no basis for speculation on such a thing. Politics is much more complex than business and the media, and it’s an area that Gaoleng has never been involved in, and he doesn’t have that kind of judgment right now.
When the political circles reached Mu Zhengtang’s level, they were all bone ashes and white bones amongst human spirits. His colleagues and opponents were all human beings who were proficient in politics.
It was useless to speculate.
‘”However, he was investigated because of the rotten meat case. I exposed the rotten meat case. In addition, he is Mu Xiaoleng’s father-in-law. He is also my future father-in-law. There is no reason not to save him. He must be rescued. Otherwise, what will happen to Xiaoleng in the future?”
As Gaoleng finished his sentence, the car was completely silent.
The path ahead was dangerous, the path was long, and the journey was difficult, but there was no turning back.
“Do you think it would be useful to ask Qin Ge for help? He has worked for CCBV for so many years and is the head of the news team. He knows the most officials. There must be news.” Jian Xiaodan asked.
“It’s no use begging anyone.” Gaoleng shook his head. “No one wants to spread this kind of thing. For someone with a certain status, whose butt is absolutely clean? It’s too late to hide. How can they go up?”
Indeed, in politics, it would be nice to see someone fall into a pit without stepping on them. Who would reach out?
“Then what should we do?” Jian Xiaochan panicked, “This is to find out what Mu Zhengtang has done, and there is no way to get him. Now that the fight against corruption is very strict, who else can find him? Let me think, let me think…”
Jane Xiaodan was so anxious that Gaoleng’s voice trembled, and she frowned as she thought about who she could ask for help with.
“It’s no use begging anyone. This kind of thing.” Gao laughed coldly, “You can only rely on yourself.” As he spoke, Gaoleng looked at the time. It was almost half an hour before the news broadcast. Gaoleng seemed to be feeling particularly heavy.
This was not Mu Zhengtang’s business, as if he had something to worry about.
“You go to my house to get the property certificate and other things you need for your visa. I’ll take you to my house first. Xiaowei is at home.” As he spoke, he stepped on the accelerator and the car sped through the endless flow of traffic in Empire.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the parking lot in the Gaoleng neighborhood. Jane Xiaodan pushed open the car door and saw that Gaoleng had no intention of getting off. She asked, “What are you doing at night?”
“I have other matters to attend to.” Gaoleng’s expression was very bad. His gaze once again fell on the clock in the car, and the roots of his teeth were tightly clenched.
“What’s wrong? Why do I feel that your mind is uneasy?” Jian Xiaodan pulled back her legs when she was about to get off the car. She closed the door again and looked around. There was no one near the car. She asked.
It was rare to see Gaoleng uneasy. He had been nervous, worried, or even afraid, but he had never been uneasy. Jane Xiaodan grew up cautiously and was exceptionally sensitive to other people’s emotions. When she asked a sensitive question during an interview, she could keenly and accurately capture the emotional changes of the interviewee and judge whether the other party’s questions were fake or not. This was an inherent news sensitivity.
Some people practice sensitivities that they would never have in their entire lives.
Not to mention that Jian Xiaodi was very concerned about Gaoleng, she immediately noticed that something was wrong with Gaoleng.
The restless Gaoleng made Jane Xiaodan’s heart skip a beat. She knew that if it wasn’t for the big deal, the word’restless’ would never have appeared on him.
“It’s been more than an hour.” Gaoleng looked at the time and gripped the steering wheel tightly. A trace of cold sweat even broke out on his forehead. “It’s been so long since the news broadcast. Why hasn’t Xiao Leng called yet?”
When Gaoleng said that, Jane Xiaodan noticed that the phone that he had always kept in his pocket had always been placed in front of the steering wheel near the glass table, and that for the first time the screen was facing the sky.
This was a big taboo for secretly interviewing reporters. Usually, secretly interviewing reporters kept their phones in their pockets so that outsiders wouldn’t see them. When they took out their phones to put them on the table or elsewhere, they instinctively had their screens facing down. This way, if there was a call, no one knew who it was.
This ensured sufficient safety. After all, unannounced reporters were likely to receive calls from whistleblowers. This was also to protect the journalistic professionalism of whistleblowers.
A reporter who had just entered a secret interview would bring along the small details that his master would give him. It could be seen that an expert like Gaoleng was actually playing his phone screen up like this on purpose. This way, he wouldn’t miss any incoming calls or text messages. As long as there was one, the screen would light up and he would see it immediately.
He’s, uh, waiting for a call.
“Are you waiting for Mu Xiaoleng’s call?” Jian Xiaodan asked.
“Yes.” Gao Leng nodded, “It’s been an hour. She must have seen the news broadcast. Why hasn’t she called me for so long?”
According to Mu Xiaoleng’s temper, she hadn’t contacted Gaoleng for more than ten days. If she hadn’t contacted her before to ensure her safety and not to expose her status, then the news broadcast had been released. Mu Zhengtang had basically determined that she was safe. Logically speaking, she should call Gaoleng as soon as possible.
However, Mu Xiaoleng hadn’t called for an hour, which aroused Gaoleng’s suspicion.
“Maybe she’s not sure if she can call now. She’s still young and a college student. How can she know so much?” Jian Xiaodan hurriedly comforted.
“No, absolutely not.” Gaoleng shook his head with certainty, “She doesn’t understand, can the people around her not understand? Since Mu Zhengtang arranged for her to leave the country, there must be someone protecting her. Xiaoleng doesn’t understand, so it’s impossible for them not to understand.”
‘”Don’t tell me you suspect the people around Xiaoleng…” Hearing Xiaodan’s words, Jane Gaoleng’s expression immediately became nervous. “Yeah, it’s fine if you don’t say it. Then, what should we do?! The visa will take at least one day. The fastest is tomorrow. You’ll need one day to fly to Europe. You don’t know where she is yet.”
Jane Xiaodan panicked, but when she looked at the time, an hour later, the news broadcast felt that Gaoleng was too sensitive, so she said, “It’s only an hour. Maybe it’s not as complicated as you think. An hour… The people around her may have just arrived at her place, but maybe they are discussing it.”
“Think of a way to check the video from the airport on the day Mu Xiaoleng left. There must be something wrong.” Gaoleng said confidently and picked up his phone, “I’ll have Fatty check it out. You specifically got me a visa.”
Xiaoleng was far away on the other side of the globe, and the high cooldown could smell a dangerous aura coming from the other side of the ocean.
