On the highway, a business van was speeding along, alone, without any vehicles following behind. It appeared exceptionally low-key.
This was on the high-speed road to Guonan City. Inside the van were members of the joint inspection team's agricultural group, including elite representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, the State Administration of Grain, the Rural Affairs Office of the State Council, and several other related functional departments.
The team leader of this group was Deputy Minister Qin from the Ministry of Agriculture, who had been promoted by former Deputy Minister Zhou. In that sense, he could be considered a staunch confidant and close subordinate of Deputy Minister Zhou.
Ahead, the business van approached the ramp, and a short distance ahead was the tollgate exit for Guonan City. Deputy Minister Qin's expression immediately darkened upon seeing that there wasn't a soul waiting ahead.
