Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 960 - 638: That’s Him, No Mistake!

After Han Yu led the team to depart, Han Xiangning began to pay attention to the flood situation at Beihu, especially at Jingjiang.

There's a large color TV hanging in the corner of the Traffic Control Center hall that's almost on 24/7, and it only plays news.

If CCTV-1 plays other programs, they use a remote control to switch the channel to CCTV-3 or CCTV-4, with the volume turned down low so as not to affect command and dispatch.

The "Linghai Daily" today published the first news report after San'er and the others rushed to assist Beihu, and it was a full-page report, both in content and photos, that was shocking.

She was very worried and was thinking of calling San'er at noon when Sister Ling suddenly exclaimed, "Ningning, hurry over, this person looks a bit like your family's Salted Fish's senior brother!"

"Where?"

"Look at the TV, in the news!"

"I'm watching, where is it?"

"It flashed by, there's also someone who looks a bit like Xiao Ma."

What's being broadcast is Vice President L representing the Central Committee and National Council visiting disaster victims, Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao are with San'er handling the emergency, how could they appear in the news footage.

Besides, that's Vice President L, how could Xu Mingyuan and them be next to him.

Han Xiangning directly thought Sister Ling saw it wrong, and was preparing to head downstairs to take Supervision 39 to the anchorage to inspect the vessels' anchoring situation when the phone on the command desk suddenly rang.

Todays' duty officer, Old Chen, picked up the phone and, after saying a couple of "uh-huhs", turned back and said, "Chief Han, Han Ning is looking for you."

"Oh, thank you."

Han Xiangning put down the walkie-talkie, walked over to take the phone, and didn't expect to hear Han Ning urgently asking on the other end as soon as she picked up: "Ningning, have you watched TV?"

"I'm working, unlike your police station, I don't have the luxury to watch TV."

Yangtze River Passenger Transport is not doing well.

Especially this year, the passenger line from Bailong Port to East Sea Sixteen Piers Pier is not just struggling but operating at a loss!

This passenger line that has been in operation for over a century is a bit like railway passenger transport, even if it operates at a loss, it can't just be stopped.

Now with the Yangtze River flooding, navigation is banned upstream, and passenger ships like Jiang Shen and Jiang Han have stopped sailing.

Although the flood hasn't greatly impacted the Bai Shen Line, the Yangtze River Passenger Transport Company in East Sea doesn't want to run a loss trip and simply took this opportunity to suspend the Bai Shen Line sailing to and from the East Sea Sixteen Piers Pier and Bailong Port.

With no passenger ships docking, the Changhang Branch Bai Long Port Police Station, now the Changhang Branch Linghai Police Station, has become particularly quiet, and Han Ning doesn't have much to do.

Her son and younger brother are attending to emergencies at Beihu, and her husband is on the way to support Beihu in flood management. She is very worried about her husband and son and is very concerned about the flood situation at Beihu, watching TV news in the office every day.

She realized she hadn't made herself clear earlier and quickly added: "Ningning, I know you're busy, but I really just saw Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao on TV."

"Really?"

"I really saw them, they are with Vice President L!"

Sister Ling ran over excitedly, saying, "I told you it was them, and you didn't believe it!"

Han Xiangning came to her senses and was surprised: "Sis, could you have seen wrong?"

"There's no mistaking it, it's really them, not just the two of them, but a few more in camouflage behind Vice President L. I was too focused on them to see who was behind."

Han Ning was afraid her sister-in-law wouldn't believe it, anxiously saying, "Who else could I mistake but I wouldn't mistake Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao, I've known them for how many years, even if they turned to ashes, I could recognize them!"

"Sis, what are you saying."

"Right, right, unlucky, unlucky, I'll slap myself, but I'm sure I wouldn't get it wrong."

Dongdong is at Beihu managing emergencies with San'er and Xiao Yu, and the brother-in-law is on the way to support Beihu in flood management, so the sister must be the person most concerned about flood conditions at Beihu.

Han Xiangning realized it might be true, after all, her sister and Sister Ling couldn't both have seen it wrong and immediately hung up to contact San'er.

The call went through, but it was Director Ge who answered.

"Ningning, Salted Fish didn't sleep at night, he's sleeping in the tent now, his phone is with me, if it's not something very important, you can tell me..."

"Uncle Ge, let him sleep a bit more, I just wanted to ask if Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao have had any special tasks?"

"No, they have!" Old Ge realized and couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Ningning, how did you find out they were escorting Vice President L to visit disaster victims?"

"They made it on TV, they were on the Central TV news, it just aired!"

"Made it to the news, that's something I didn't know. We're conducting emergency work by the river, not only do we not have TV, but even if we did, we wouldn't have time to watch."

"So you're saying the people behind Vice President L were really them?"

"Should be." Old Ge laughed and explained: "Vice President L came from the opposite side, it was quite urgent at the time, with neither car nor many guards. Secretary Chen from Jingzhou borrowed car people from me, so I sent Mingyuan and Xiao Ma." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Han Xiangning asked in disbelief: "Uncle Ge, you arranged them to go?"

"I arranged it, why, was that a problem."

"Didn't San'er arrange?"

"He's busy directing the emergencies, he couldn't manage these things. Mayor Shen isn't familiar with the camp situation, so who else to arrange if not me? Ningning, my current work is supporting your family's Salted Fish with logistics, so he can concentrate on directing the emergencies without distraction."

"Uncle Ge, you're really impressive!"

"What's impressive about this, small thing, compared to how it used to be when I ran paperwork at the Lingda Car Ferry."

Han Xiangning didn't want to listen to his boasting, casually picked up a pen, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Ge, how many people did you arrange for this task, who else besides Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao?"

Without thinking, Old Ge said: "Eight people in total, I asked Xu Mingyuan to lead, aside from him and Ma Jintao, there's Xiao Guo from the Water Police Station, Li Jun from the Border Inspection Station, Secretary Ye's driver Xiao Chen, Xiao Gao who used to drive for your family's Salted Fish for some days..."

Han Xiangning quickly jotted down a list, complained: "Uncle Ge, with eight slots in total, why didn't you arrange for our Port Supervision Department's Hu Genhua to go?"

"Ningning, do you think it's an honor?"

"Escorting Vice President L to visit the disaster victims and appearing on TV with Vice President L is certainly an honor!"

"Oh, I've been so busy, I really didn't think about it that much at the time."

"What were you thinking about at the time then?"

"Responsibility!" Old Ge realized that Han Xiangning wanted the Linghai Port Supervision Office to get some recognition, so he quickly explained, "Ningning, escorting Vice President L to comfort the disaster victims was no small task. Things were very urgent at the time. The person arranged to go had to be both a driver and a guard, and also act as a rescue team member. I wasn't very familiar with Hu Genhua from your Port Supervision Office, so I didn't dare to send him."

Han Xiangning asked in a low voice, "What does being a rescue team member mean?"

"The embankment was on the verge of breaking. If we couldn't hold it, the commanders would be flooded, so the people going had to ensure the safety of the commanders and ensure the safety of several commanders!"

"Got it, I was just joking with you earlier."

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up first; I'm a bit busy here."

"Aren't you going to ask how Master's wife has been these days? How's her health?"

"I haven't had the time to ask, but with you there, I have nothing to worry about."

......

An outsider can see clearly, while those involved can be confused.

This phone call from Han Xiangning gave Old Ge a reminder, so Old Ge quickly called Secretary Ye to report.

Secretary Ye couldn't believe it was true and immediately asked Secretary Liu to call Linghai TV Station.

Linghai TV Station does not only record and broadcast news about Linghai, nor does it only rebroadcast news from the Central and Provincial stations, but it must also record the news from the Central, Provincial, and Binjiang stations from the past two days with a VCR, so that the videotapes are available for city leaders to watch at any time.

Because the city leaders are very busy and sometimes don't have time to watch the news.

But as leaders, they must pay attention to national and provincial affairs, and even care about Binjiang's matters. When needed, they can only review through this method.

TV station staff quickly sent the videotape to the City Committee, and Secretary Liu inserted the videotape into the VCR and played it on the big color TV.

Just like Old Ge said, the Linghai Soldiers not only appeared on the Central TV news but indeed stood behind Vice President L and other major leaders. To be exact, some stood not far from Vice President L.

Secretary Liu pressed the pause button on the VCR and said excitedly, "Secretary Ye, look, it's really Xiao Chen!"

Driver Xiao Chen not only got great exposure but also performed outstandingly in the flood fight and rescue.

In the photos that Reporter Wang from Binjiang Radio Station sent back, there were several of Xiao Chen and Xu Mingyuan and other Party Member Assault Team comrades jumping into the river to secure the geotextile disregarding their own safety.

The people around were very inspiring, Secretary Ye was very pleased, and smilingly pointed to the screen, "Let the TV station rebroadcast it at night, notify all units to organize a viewing."

"Should we notify the work units of the eight comrades in the news?"

"Notify all municipal organs, bureaus, committees, and all townships, and place special emphasis on notifying the work units of these eight comrades."

On the paused screen, Xu Mingyuan was standing right behind Vice President L, the closest to Vice President L.

Secretary Ye suddenly remembered something and said, pointing at the TV screen, "I have an impression of Comrade Xu Mingyuan, he's a criminal police officer from our Linghai. If I'm not mistaken, he has served as a major case captain, seemingly also held the position of Criminal Investigation Captain. Quickly look into this, how did our Linghai Public Security's criminal investigation backbone become a cadre of the Customs Investigation Bureau?"

"Yes!"

"As for Comrade Li Jun's work unit, I will notify them personally."

"Secretary Ye, I will head out now."

"Go ahead."

The ones jumping into the river with geotextile without regard for their lives in flood rescue were mostly cadres and workers from Linghai, and one was even his own driver.

The ones escorting Vice President L to comfort the disaster-affected people were also mostly cadres and workers from Linghai!

Secretary Ye was genuinely delighted, picking up his phone, he found Station Chief Fang of the Binjiang Border Inspection Station's number and dialed it.

"Station Chief Fang, it's me, it's me. What are you saying, I can't direct anyone here! It's nothing else, first off, thank you for your support of our Linghai's economic construction. When the Linghai Port is constructed and operational, we'll need to ask for your further support. And congratulations too, Comrade Li Jun from your station was in the Central TV news…"

Wasn't Li Jun working on job contacts?

How could Li Jun possibly appear in the Central TV news!

Station Chief Fang was a bit stunned, somewhat doubting, "Secretary Ye, do you know Li Jun from our border inspection station?"

Ten minutes ago, Secretary Ye did not know, even if they met before, he wouldn't recognize, as the leader of Linghai, he had too many people to meet, it was impossible to remember everyone.

But now Secretary Ye not only knew, he had a "deep impression" of Li Jun.

"Yes, I know. Last year when we had major repairs on foreign ships in Linghai, didn't you arrange for him to handle the foreigners' entry and exit procedures on site."

"Secretary Ye, your memory is great."

"Station Chief Fang, your border inspection supports our Linghai's economic construction so well, we must remember it! If once we use someone their importance is acknowledged and if not it's disregarded, it would be ungrateful. Would you and Political Commissioner Lu help us next time?"

"Secretary Ye, what you say makes us feel embarrassed, we really haven't done much."

"What did you mean by nothing, you have indeed helped us a lot. Mayor Qian and I were discussing a few days ago, after the flood relief, it's Ba Yi Army Day, and at that time we'll come to your place for a visit, to express our sentiments."

"Secretary Ye, you're too courteous."

"It's not about courtesy, it's what we should do. By the way, Comrade Li Jun from your station is doing very well, not only did he participate in flood relief in Beihu, but also escorted Vice President L to visit the disaster victims, which is the pride of your border inspection station as well as Linghai's pride."

"Li Jun went to Beihu for flood relief!"

"You didn't know?"

"Secretary Ye, could it be a mistake of identity, someone with the same name? Our station's Li Jun is unlikely to have gone for flood relief. He is about to retire, and we gave him half a year off for him to look for a job."

Secretary Ye glanced at the list Old Ge reported and couldn't help but laugh, "It's not wrong, it's indeed your station's Comrade Li Jun. I just saw the broadcast from the Central TV, and indeed he was with our several Linghai comrades escorting Vice President L to visit the disaster victims."
