That morning, Qu Hongying received a call from Deputy Procurator-General Jiang Bolin just as she was about to leave for Linhai.
Over the phone, Jiang explained how Yi Yingxiang had been caught and repeatedly urged Qu Hongying to contact Zhou Yi as soon as she arrived in Linhai.
"Rest assured, Procurator Jiang. If I run into trouble, I'll certainly go to him," Qu Hongying replied solemnly, glancing at her husband beside her.
She had also heard about what had happened in Linhai in the early hours. To arrest Yi Yingxiang, the Linhai Province Public Security Department, the Chuanhai City Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the provincial and municipal procuratorates had mobilized hundreds of police officers and procuratorial personnel. Yet after more than four hours, they still had not found any trace of Yi Yingxiang.
The provincial Party leaders had finally given up and gone home to sleep, and even the leaders from the Supreme People's Procuratorate had thought it was hopeless. Right then, however, Zhou Yi, Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, had miraculously pinpointed Yi Yingxiang's hiding place and led a team to arrest the fugitive.
Even Qu Hongying had to say, "With powers so unfathomable, why don't you just fly up and explore the heavens?"
"Minister Xiao called just now, too. He said you're too determined to handle everything yourself and unwilling to trouble anyone else, so he asked me to talk some sense into you," Gao Songzhi said with a smile as he straightened his wife's uniform.
"All right, I humbly accept the leadership's criticism and guidance, as well as Director Gao's persuasive instruction," Qu Hongying replied with a bright smile before opening the car door and getting in.
She did dislike troubling others, but that did not mean she was inflexible or blindly stubborn.
