Chapter 62: Despicable Means

  Lanxi City built dozens of luxurious villas by the sea for government officials to live in.

  The best geographical location of No. 1 villa is exactly where Mayor Song Shan of Lanzhou lives.

  Today, two special guests came to the No. 1 villa, a man and a woman, the man was tall and straight, the woman was charming and beautiful, they were Lin San and Gu Jialan.

  "Mayor Song, hello." Gu Jialan greeted Song Shan respectfully.

  Song Shan glanced at Gu Jialan and smiled slightly: "It's been a few years since we last met, you've become even more beautiful, just like your mother was back then."

  "Thank you for your compliment, Mayor Song." Gu Jialan thanked him with a sentence.

  "Sit down." Song Shan invited Gu Jialan and Lin San to sit on the sofa.

  At this time, a nanny brought two cups of tea and placed them on the tea table before retreating.

  Song Shan glanced at Lin San and asked suspiciously: "Who are you?"

  "Oh, this is my boyfriend, now the head of security at Ding Sheng Group." Gu Jialan hastily introduced.

  "Oh." Song Shan nodded and picked up his teacup, taking a sip: "You've come to see me today, what's the matter?"

  "To be honest with you, I'm here because of something related to my father." Gu Jialan said straightforwardly without beating around the bush.

  Song Shan furrowed his brow: "I'm afraid I won't be able to help with your father's matter."

  "How could it be? You are the mayor of a city, in Lanzhou City, and there's nothing you can't solve?" Gu Jialan asked urgently.

  Song Shan sighed and shook his head slightly: "I am the mayor, but there are many people with higher official positions than me. In Blue City, I also can't cover the sky with one hand."

  "Mayor Song, please, I beg of you, save my dad! Now except for you, there's no one else who can save him." Gu Jialan pleaded.

  Lin San, who was sitting on one side, saw Gu Jialan's pleading appearance and suddenly felt some heartache.

  Song Shan furrowed his brow and didn't say a word.

  "Mayor Song..." Seeing Song Shan's prolonged silence, Gu Jialan couldn't help but speak up.

  Song Shan glanced at Gu Jialan, moved the corner of his mouth, and was about to speak, but suddenly seemed to think of something and swallowed his words back.

  "Mayor Song, I know you still remember how my dad competed with you for my mom's affection back then..." Gu Jialan said suddenly.

  Song Shan waved his hand, interrupting Gu Jialan's speech: "I've already forgotten what happened back then."

  "Mayor Song, please, for my mother's sake, save my father this one time." Seeing that Song Shan seemed unwilling to help, Gu Jialan had no choice but to bring up her deceased mother, hoping that Song Shan still had some lingering affection.

  When Gu Jia Lan mentioned her own mother, Song Shan's expression changed slightly, and he fell silent for a moment before saying slowly: "It's not that I don't want to help your father, it's just that I'm not capable."

  "Mayor Song..." Gu Jialan was about to say something when he was interrupted by Song Shan raising his hand.

  Song Shan pulled out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff: "This time the one who wants to deal with your dad is a big shot, someone I also can't afford to offend. I really have no way."

  "Which big shot?" Gu Jialan asked again.

  Song Shan hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's one of the leaders from the provincial government..."

  "It's the Vice Governor!" Gu Jialan said suddenly.

  Song Shan was taken aback: "How did you know......" He only came to his senses halfway through the sentence, realizing he had let something slip.

  "It's indeed Qin Hao who is sabotaging from behind." Gu Jialan gritted her teeth and said. After Gu Changfeng was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Committee, Gu Jialan felt that something was not quite right, and at that time, she also suspected that Qin Hao was sabotaging from behind, but there was no evidence.

  "Who is Qin Hao?" Song Shan asked in puzzlement.

  Gu Jialan glanced at Song Shan and said, "He's the nephew of the vice governor." Then Gu Jialan recounted the grudges between himself and Qin Hao.

  After listening to Gu Jialan's account, Song Shan narrowed his eyes. Originally, Song Shan was already somewhat puzzled - how could the steady and cautious Gu Changfeng offend the vice governor? It turned out that the problem lay with Gu Jialan himself.

  "Mayor Song, is there really no way you can rescue my dad?" Gu Jialan asked persistently.

  Song Shan thought for a moment and said, "To untie the bell, one must find the person who tied it. If you want to rescue your father, only by getting Vice Governor Qin to make a statement will do." Song Shan was just a municipal mayor at the level of a department head, and he didn't have the ability to contend with a vice governor.

  After listening to Song Shan's words, Gu Jialan fell silent, turning around in circles. Would she still have to go ask Qin Hao? The moment she thought of Qin Hao's detestable face, her heart felt suffocated.

  After sitting in the villa for a while, Gu Jialan and Lin San bid farewell and left. Since Song Shan had no way to rescue Gu Changfeng, there was no need to continue talking.

  Song Shan personally escorted the two of them to the gate and saw off Gu Jialan and Lin San as they drove away.

  On the bus.

  Gujalan hung his head, furrowed his brow, and looked like he had a lot on his mind.

  Lin San drove carefully while comforting Gu Jialan: "Jialan, don't be sad, we will definitely find a way to rescue Uncle Gu."

  Gu Jialan slightly shook her head: "It seems I really have to go to the provincial city to find Qin Hao."

  Lin San was shocked: "Jialan, what are you trying to do!"

  "It all started because of me, and I should bear all the consequences alone. I've decided... Tomorrow, I'll go to the provincial city to find Qin Hao. As long as Qin Hao is willing to spare my dad, I'll agree to any condition..." Gu Jialan muttered to herself.

  "Screech!" The speeding Mercedes came to an abrupt halt at the side of the road.

  Lin San extinguished the fire, turned around and grasped Gu Jialan's shoulder, saying urgently: "Jialan, you can't go ask Qin Hao for help, Qin Hao is a beast, he can do anything."

  "What other choice do I have now?"

  Lin San's face sank, and he was silent for a moment before speaking slowly: "Jialan, give me three days, within three days I will definitely rescue Gu Shu."

  Gujalan was taken aback, looked up at Lin San, and his eyes were filled with doubt.

  Lin San stared tightly at Gu Jialan's eyes and said word by word: "Believe me!"

  Gujalan gazed at Lin San for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Alright, I'll wait three more days." After speaking, she leaned forward and fell into Lin San's arms, her hands tightly embracing his back.

  Lin San stretched out his hand to hold Gu Jialan's weak body, a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he silently cursed in his heart: Qin Hao, you son of a bitch, this is what you forced me into, don't blame me for being ruthless!

  Late at night.

  Lin San stood in front of the window, quietly gazing at the night view below, thinking deeply about how to rescue Gu Changfeng. The reason why Lanzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection suppressed Gu Changfeng was entirely due to Qin Hao's machinations behind the scenes. Qin Hao was able to be so rampant mainly because he had the backing of Vice Governor Qin Xiangdong. Conversely, as long as Vice Governor Qin Xiangdong is dealt with, Qin Hao will no longer be a concern.

  How can Qin Xiangdong be solved? Lin San slightly frowned: "Do you want to create a homicide case?" With Lin San's current strength, it can be said that killing Qin Xiangdong is easy, but Lin San's heart is a little wavering, after all, it's a life, and he can't just say kill.

  Suddenly, Lin San's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he smiled slyly: "How could I have forgotten this?" Lin San leaned out to take a look outside the window, but there was not a single shadow on the road. He took a light breath, then sprang into action, flying out of the window...

  At dawn, Lin San appeared on the coast of the provincial city.

  The seaside was quiet and deserted, with no one in sight. The waves kept lapping against the shore, making a crisp sound.

  A majestic and grand bridge stands across the sea, this cross-sea bridge has just been completed in a few days, personally presided over by Vice Governor Qin Xiangdong, taking 1.5 years to complete, with an investment of 10 billion yuan, one of the largest projects in the province this year.

  Lin San lightly lifted his body and flew onto the big bridge. These days, Lin San had been diligently studying the art of flying, and he had already made some small achievements, being able to fly in mid-air for several hours.

  The entire bridge is an S-shaped curve in the plane, with a beautiful and dynamic shape overall. From the side, it presents a arched shape at the navigation hole of the north-south channel, with a undulating facade shape. The bridge deck is designed as a two-way six-lane highway, and bright streetlights and guardrails are also installed on both sides of the bridge. The entire bridge looks particularly majestic.

  Lin San gently stroked the railing of the bridge and let out a soft sigh: "Such a good bridge, it's a pity to destroy it." Lin San's intention was simple - to destroy this sea-crossing bridge, which would inevitably implicate Qin Xiangdong, the vice governor in charge of the bridge's construction, who might even be removed from office as a result.

  After a moment of hesitation, Lin San's eyes flashed with determination. For the sake of his beloved woman, he was willing to be a little unscrupulous today. Lin San leaped into mid-air, stretched out both hands, and muttered a few lines of obscure incantations. Two white light balls appeared from his palms, initially the size of a palm, but in the blink of an eye, they expanded tenfold or more, with flashes of white light flickering on their surface.

  At this moment, Lin San's expression became extremely serious, he took a deep breath, and with a sudden flip of his hands, he threw the two light balls towards the cross-sea bridge below.

  Two bright orbs blinked and heavily hit the cross-sea bridge.

  "Boom! Boom!" Two loud explosions, one-third of the bridge's body suddenly broke off and fell into the sea, stirring up a shocking wave.

  Lin San slowly withdrew his hands, and at the critical moment, Lin San still couldn't bear to destroy the entire trans-oceanic bridge.

  The loud noise from the bridge startled many people in the surrounding area, and even more urgent police sirens could be heard from a distance.

  Lin San glanced at the broken bridge, nodded slightly: "It should be about it." He turned his head to look at the speeding police car, Lin San lightly jumped and disappeared into thin air.

  Within 5 minutes, a dozen police cars had gathered by the sea.

  Dozens of police officers got out of their patrol cars and were suddenly stunned by the sight of a massive sea-crossing bridge broken in front of them.

  As time went by second by second, more and more people gathered at the seaside.

  Suddenly a black Audi with government license plates sped to the seaside, and before the car had even come to a complete stop, a man jumped out of it.

  "Ah! It's Vice Governor Qin." A cry of surprise came from beside him.

  No, it was just a man who had just jumped off an Audi car, and he was Qin Xiangdong, the vice governor of the province.
