At the Hongjiang Province Beijing Office, Liu Sanhai had booked an 8 p.m. flight for Nie Zhenbang. After having a simple dinner accompanied by Liu Sanhai in the restaurant on the second floor of the Red River Building, Nie Zhenbang hurried to Jingcheng City Airport.
In the car, Nie Zhenbang took out his cell phone and called Hong Feng, "Hong, I am on the 8 o'clock flight. You and Dai should come to the airport to pick me up."
After giving the instructions, Nie Zhenbang dialed another number, "Secretary-General, how about getting everyone together for a gathering tonight?"
At this point, there was no use in hiding anything from his subordinates. The higher-ups had also given him only three to five days. Necessary arrangements were essential.
