Zhou Yi stepped aside and made three calls in succession, laying out the assignments in detail.
His seamless handling of the whole affair left Director Qu Hongying thoroughly ashamed.
Why?
Because he had vividly demonstrated to her what it meant to be cautious, methodical, and professional.
Compared with his approach, her earlier decision to send Investigation Division Chief Zheng Dacheng to summon Dou Guozhong seemed far too rash.
Actually, she wanted to be methodical too, but she simply lacked the resources.
She had originally had Wu Daojun to help her, but after he returned to Capital City, she became just like Zhou Yi had been back then-a commander without a single soldier.
At first, she had thought Zheng Dacheng should be trustworthy. But the coincidence of the Shanhai Group reaching Dou Guozhong first forced her to suspect everyone who knew about the matter, Zheng Dacheng included.
Qu Hongying couldn't help giving a self-mocking smile.
Although she had long realized how deeply the Provincial Procuratorate had been infiltrated-the previous listening device incident, for instance, had exposed two moles hidden within the prosecution service-she still hadn't imagined that its situation was beyond serious. It was leaking from every direction!
Rong Jinxiu and her father, Rong Huazhao, certainly hadn't spent all those years painstakingly building their influence in Linhai for nothing. They really knew their stuff!
A cautionary lesson indeed!
If anything similar happened again, she would unhesitatingly go straight to Zhou Yi for help. Whatever else happened, she would get the person being summoned into custody first.
At the Xinguang Factory Gate, Li Linsen received his instructions and immediately contacted Dou Guozhong using the phone number Zhou Yi had given him.
Then he drove into the Xinguang Factory and brought Dou Guozhong out of an abandoned warehouse, where he had stayed put.
