Liu Zhizhong was taken aback by the sound, turned his head and said, "What's going on?"

Hamuer pointed at his phone screen, genuinely surprised, and said, "Secretary, look, the real-time footage from the Environmental Protection Bureau's drone, I can't believe it."

"What?"

Liu Zhizhong, curious, leaned over for a closer look, and then he was dumbfounded too.

"Uh... how could this happen?"

The screen showed the site where Zhang Hongyang was accompanying Meng Jixiang fishing, and it was almost deserted.

The previously grand parade and the lively cheerful scene had turned desolate.

Two middle-aged women were cleaning the fishing spot, chatting with exaggerated expressions while working.

Zhang Hongyang, Meng Jixiang, and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Not to mention the motorcade, even the ambulance had disappeared.

The equipment at the fishing spot hadn't been tidied up either. Even Meng Jixiang's fishing chair was toppled over, and Zhang Hongyang's chair had fallen into the water!

Liu Zhizhong frowned, puzzled, and said, "The change is too rapid, everything was fine just now!"

Hamuer said, "Looking at the situation at the fishing spot, something urgent must have happened, right? Could it be that Meng Province hurried back to the Provincial City for a meeting, in sync with Vice Minister Feng? Well then, haha... Zhang Hongyang's flattering service didn't go as planned, haha..."

"The Environmental Protection Bureau's drone patrols, there's video replay available, correct?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Hamuer nodded repeatedly and immediately began to operate it, "I'll just adjust the video replay to take a look... Perhaps starting from about twenty-two or twenty-three minutes ago?"

"Hmm, almost... something like that..."

"Alright, let's take a look..."

Hamuer found the replay timestamp and started playing it, watching with Liu Zhizhong in nail-biting anticipation.

It turned out, 15 minutes earlier, something unbelievable had indeed happened at the fishing spot.

At that time, Meng Province had just caught a two-pound Chinese Crucian Carp, feeling quite proud, and was holding it for the secretary to take a picture.

While taking photos, Zhang Hongyang caught a fish on his side.

This guy yanked up the rod violently, making the fish in the water bend it into a large arc, causing little splashes on the water's surface, a sheer display of savage beauty.

Then, Zhang Hongyang immediately stood up, left the fishing spot, and began to battle with the big fish in the water.

Of course, in his haste, his fishing chair tipped over and fell into the water, but it didn't matter, the big fish in the water was the priority, haha!

He became the center of attention of the entire scene, looking quite pleased with himself.

As for Meng Jixiang, he was also smiling, feeling quite happy. After all, he had caught enough fish to his heart's content and was a little tired.

So, Meng Jixiang tossed his crucian carp into the fish basket, sat back in his fishing spot, and the secretary lit a cigarette for him. He enjoyed smoking, drinking water, and smilingly watched Zhang Hongyang play with the fish.

On Zhang Hongyang's side, getting Meng Province's attention further fueled his enthusiasm, moving even further from the fishing spot.

He was seen clenching his teeth, looking like he was putting all his strength into it, manipulating the rod side to side, up and down, quite showy.

Being the center of attention, he naturally had to maintain some momentum.

Having worked in Shanan for a long time, he succeeded in losing weight and even gained some strength.

However, unforeseen events are just that - unforeseen.

The big fish struggled and charged violently underwater, and the hook on the fish's lip was barely holding on. As a result, with Zhang Hongyang's forceful pull, the hook slipped!

Those who have fished know that when the hook slips, the weight under immense force will cause the hook to fly backward.

In such a situation, a true fisherman would release their hold, but Zhang Hongyang didn't, and the fish hook directly embedded into Meng Jixiang's right eye...
