South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 367 Teng Deqiang Runs Away

"Fourth brother, I also know that I was wrong. What should we do now?" Teng Deqiang said with his head down.

"What a trouble!" Song Si stood up and paced back and forth.

If Yuan Mu was just the district party secretary, it would be fine. He wouldn't be able to cross the district to arrest him. But now it's different. Yuan Mu is not only the district party secretary, he is also a member of the municipal party committee standing committee. This is too troublesome!

Song Si was able to build a company and create a huge family business in just a few years. Besides being daring and hardworking, he was also very smart. Otherwise, he would not have made it to where he is today. This time he has really hit a wall.

Those younger brothers who were arrested must have given them all away. He had been to the police station before, but suffered a lot. He didn't think his younger brothers could survive it. So it seemed that he was not safe now. If Yuan Mu really reported to the Municipal Party Committee and asked the Municipal Bureau to send people to arrest them, where would he run?

Over the years, he did make some connections in the government, but most of them were low-ranking officials, such as those at the section level, and there were very few at the division level. He could still handle some issues in Daowai District, and even in several other districts he was okay, but in the city he was nothing!

He has no connections in the city at all. If he really had connections in the city, he wouldn't have to pick up these small projects. He could just directly contract a few big projects and make money much faster!

There is only one most reliable way now, and that is to run away, and run away overnight before the enemy can react. But Song Si is unwilling to run away like this. He has lived in Harbin for forty years and really doesn't want to leave. Chinese people are very attached to their hometown. No matter who he is, an official or a criminal, they all hope to stay in their hometown.

If he left like this, all his years of hard work would be wasted in one day, but if he didn't leave, he would most likely be caught. So what should he do?

"Fourth brother, please give us an idea." Teng Deqiang on the side urged his eldest brother when he saw that he was slow to speak.

"Don't rush me, I'm just thinking about it!" Song Si glared at Teng Deqiang and shouted.

Teng Deqiang had no choice but to continue waiting. After a while, Song Si turned around and looked at him.

"You can't stay in Harbin anymore. Go ahead. I'll give you some money. Go somewhere else to hide from the limelight. When the limelight is over, I'll contact you. Come back then."

"Ah? Fourth brother, I have to leave?" Teng Deqiang was stunned.

"What should we do if we don't leave? Three people died, this is no small matter. Do you think your head was pierced at that time? Why do you have to hit the vital parts when you want to kill them? We are after money, not lives!" Song Si looked very disappointed.

"Well, where should I go?"

"You should go to Jilin Province first. It's close to home and it will be convenient for you to come back later." Song Si said after thinking about it.

"Okay, I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"What the hell do you mean tomorrow? We have to go now, immediately, right away! Are you waiting for tomorrow? I'll catch you tomorrow!" Hearing this, Song Si could no longer suppress his violent mood, and he kicked him angrily.

"Fourth brother, it's not that serious, right? We've had meals with Director Li many times, and we've sent him many gifts. Can't he help us out for a day?"

"I said you have a pig brain and it's not wrong at all! If you don't interfere in this matter, everything will be fine. The key is, do you know what Yuan Mu's attitude is now? No one knows whether he will intervene or not. We have to prepare for the worst. He is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. I told you to learn more about the situation in Harbin's officialdom, but you refused to listen. Now you are dumbfounded, right? Do you know who the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee is?"

"There are only a dozen or so standing committee members in Harbin. They have the final say in the whole city. Do you understand? Director Li is just the deputy director of a district public security bureau. Why does he confront the municipal party committee leader? With just one word from them, he could lose his official hat, but it would be easy to send him into exile!"

"Okay, why am I wasting my time talking to you? Just wait, I'll give you the money, and after you get the money get the hell out of here. Now that I see you, I won't bother others!" With that, Song Si waved his hand impatiently and walked into the bedroom.

About ten minutes later, Song Si took out a bag and handed it to Teng Deqiang.

"Here is 10,000 yuan and some change. Hide outside for now and wait for my news."

"Okay, then, Fourth Brother, I'll go first." Teng Deqiang knew that the matter was done, so he nodded.

"Go." Song Si waved his hand and then sat on the sofa.

After Teng Deqiang left, Song Si thought about it again and again, smoked several cigarettes, and finally picked up the phone and dialed...

. . . . . . . . .

At nine o'clock in the morning, Yuan Mu took a car to the municipal party committee compound. After entering, he went directly to the door of the office of Xu Guang, the municipal party committee secretary, knocked on the door and then walked in.

Xu Guang's office is a suite, that is, there is an outer room and another inner room. Xu Guang works in the inner room and the outer room is the secretary's office. Xu Guang's level is enough to have a full-time secretary. His full-time secretary is Yu Yongde, deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, at the deputy division level.

Yu Yongde was writing something at his desk at this time. When he heard a knock on the door, he raised his head and saw it was Yuan Mu, he stood up immediately.

"Secretary Yuan!"

"Hello Director Yu, is the leader here?" Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

Yuan Mu's words "Director Yu" made him very happy. In fact, many people called him Director Yu or Director Yu, but most of those people were subordinates. What was Yuan Mu's status? He was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and a leader at the department level. Calling him like that was really giving him face.

"Secretary Xu is here. I'll ask you something. Please wait a moment." Yu Yongde nodded with a smile, then walked over and knocked on the door.

If he was still with the Ministry of Public Security, he would have arrested people yesterday. But now he is no longer with the Ministry of Public Security. Although he is a member of the Municipal Party Committee, he does not have the power to arrest people across districts. If arresting people across districts is considered a taboo, there is no need for him to take the risk. It is better for him to report to the Municipal Party Committee first.

"Come in!" Xu Guang's voice came from inside the room, and Yu Yongde then pushed the door open.

"Secretary Xu, Secretary Yuan is here and wants to see you."

"Oh, Comrade Yuan Mu is here, please ask him to come in." Xu Guang, who was sitting on a chair and reviewing documents, nodded when he heard that it was Yuan Mu who came.

"Okay." Yu Yongde nodded, then turned and looked at Yuan Mu, who then walked into the office.

"Comrade Yuan Mu is here. Please sit down first." Seeing Yuan Mu, Xu Guang said with a smile.

"Secretary Xu, I have something I want to report to you."

"Okay, you sit down first and wait for me for a minute. I will finish reviewing this document. Xiao Yu, make a cup of tea." Xu Guang nodded and instructed Yu Yongde before continuing to review the documents with his head down.

Yuan Mu nodded, then sat on the sofa beside him.
