After that, the man started another round of psychological attack. "Who's Fang Qing? What's going on with Jiaxing Real Estate? "
Lu Yiwei didn't expect the other party to know about this matter. "Fang Qing is the general manager of Jiaxing Real Estate. She wanted to buy 300 acres of land in front of Caijiayuan for real estate development."
"Oh, I know that you agreed to it, right?"
"Yes." Lu Yiwei didn't lie.
"As far as I know, you and Fang Qing were university classmates. Did you abuse your power to give her the green light?"
"No." Lu Yiwei calmly said, "Fang Qing said that we were university classmates, but I don't remember anything. The reason why I agreed to do real estate development was for the sake of the entire high-tech zone. I've been thinking about how the farmers who lost their land will survive in the future. "
"Oh." The man threw another bomb and said, "But we learned from Liang Guodong that the situation is different. He said that you had a deal with Fang Qing, is that right? "
Hearing this question, Lu Yiwei felt like his head was about to explode. "This is blatant slander. I've done nothing wrong. I hope the organization will investigate this matter seriously."
The man's expression was unusually serious. "We'll investigate whether it's slander or not. But I heard that your driver injured Liang Guodong to get back the photo of you and Fang Qing. Is that true? "
"Yes." Lu Yiwei told the truth. "This is a trap set by Liang Guodong. He deliberately asked Fang Qing to ask me out and drugged the wine, trying to force me to submit through this disgusting means. If it wasn't for my driver, I wouldn't have been able to clear my name. Li Ermao is wrong to hit people, but they're too despicable. "
"Why would they frame you? Is there a deal between you two? "
Facing the man's high-pressure questioning, Lu Yiwei couldn't bear the pressure. He said, "They did it for revenge after their matter was exposed."
There was a loophole in Lu Yiwei's words, and the man caught it. "Their affair? What affair? "
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Lu Yiwei casually said, "I believe that you already know about Zhao Jialin and Liang Guodong. Can I not say anything?"
"Sure." The man continued to ask, "According to our understanding, when you first arrived at the administrative committee, you received a report against Zhao Jialin. How did you deal with this matter?"
The questions were getting more and more tricky, and Lu Yiwei couldn't stand it any longer. He said, "I did receive a report against Zhao Jialin, and I also investigated it from the side. However, some things were fabricated, and they weren't mentioned in the letter at all."
"What about the letter?"
"It's been destroyed."
"Oh." The man continued, "According to Liang Guodong's confession, you were the one who planned his rape, right?"
Lu Yiwei smiled weakly and said, "Comrade Leader, I'm an upright and upright member of the Party. My thoughts aren't that dirty. Besides, there's no need for me to plot against him. I'm too busy with official business. "
"Why were you suspended?"
"This matter … I think we can ask the city because I still can't figure it out." Lu Yiwei said, "Perhaps it's because my ability is average, and I can't keep pace with the Municipal Party Committee."
"Alright." The man did not comment on any of Lu Yiwei's answers and said, "Now, let me ask you one last question. Actually, it's not a problem. Do you think you're competent as the head of the administrative committee after such a big incident happened? Or rather, do you think you're responsible? "
Lu Yiwei sighed, "Regarding this matter, I have seriously reflected on it. If I could stop Zhao Jialin at that time, perhaps today's outcome wouldn't have happened. From this point, my thinking has deviated, and I've failed the Party's expectations. I will accept the punishment from the organization. "
Lu Yiwei's answer was very proper and sincere. From the beginning to the end, the man did not smile, but at this moment, a smile appeared on his face. "Comrade Lu Yiwei, regardless of whether you're responsible or not, your reputation among the people is pretty good. After we entered the Vegetable Village, almost no one said anything bad about you, which surprised us. To be able to win the trust of the people, it means that you've done a good job. From this point, there's no reason for me to label an official that the people love. But you should be clear that it's because you turned a blind eye and a deaf ear that led to a tragedy. "
"Our conversation today has been recorded and recorded, and I will report it to the higher-ups without any changes. Think about it carefully during this period, and if you recall anything, you can report to me at any time, understand? "
"Alright."
"Alright, you can leave now."
Lu Yiwei went up and shook hands with the man. The man smiled and whispered, "I heard that you've opened a coal mine in the past, is that true?"
Lu Yiwei froze there and did not speak.
The man pursed his lips into a smile and made a gesture.
Coming out of the hotel, Lu Yiwei felt as if he had come out from the execution ground. His body was wet, his eyes were bright, and he was greedily breathing in the fresh air. Only now did he realize how good it was to be free.
Back home, Lu Yiwei sat on the sofa and thought about the question he had just asked to see if there were any loopholes. He could not help but admire the man who had asked the question. Every question was a trap, and he would fall into the trap if he was not careful. Fortunately, he was clear-headed, and it seemed that he had answered correctly.
However, the last sentence of the man made him a little nervous. Even if there was nothing wrong with him, he still had an unavoidable responsibility. He had mentally prepared himself to be punished by the organization at any time.
One night, three days later, a piece of breaking news once again spread throughout Xijiang Province. Lin Haifeng, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Jiangdong City, had committed suicide by jumping off a building!
This news was no less than a heavy bomb, and it shocked everyone to the point that they were unable to recover from their shock. Lin Haifeng had committed suicide? What kind of show was he putting on? Everyone could not figure it out.
The intention of the investigation team was obvious. They were investigating Qiu Yuanhang. What did it have to do with him? However, he had chosen a path of no return.
According to the news sent back from the scene, Lin Haifeng jumped from his office window. The Municipal Party Committee's compound was not high, only eight floors. It was unlikely that he would fall to his death. Moreover, Lin Haifeng's office was on the fifth floor. At most, he would be disabled.
However, the situation at the scene was extremely complicated. It was said that when Lin Haifeng jumped off the building, his head was directly inserted into the iron fence of the flower pond. The scene was a bloody mess, and brains were everywhere. It was quite a tragic scene.
This could be said to be the most shocking news in the history of Xijiang Province. The government tried to cover up the incident, but how could such a hot news be covered up? It had already spread like wildfire and was spread all over the streets.
When Lu Yiwei learned about it, he was also shocked. This "earthquake" was so violent that it directly killed two people. Apart from regret, he was more in awe.
The bureaucracy was too scary. Lu Yiwei was a little scared. This was the most scared he had ever been since he entered politics. The higher the level, the more shady things were. It was better to do it in his own small county. At most, it was a matter as small as a fingernail. There would not be so many people involved. He had the idea of leaving the officialdom. This was not an escape, but a redemption.
Lin Haifeng's death put everyone related to him in danger, and they lived in fear. However, the higher authorities did not stop the investigation because of his death. The first person they arrested was actually Ding Changhua, who was preparing to escape.
It was said that when Ding Changhua was arrested, he was preparing to leave by plane. He did not expect that he would be taken down before the plane took off. There was a glorious curtain call for someone. Was this just the beginning? No one knew.
In the past two days, Lu Yiwei had been under too much pressure. However, reality did not let him go. That night, Hu Zhixiong hurriedly knocked on his door and pulled him into the study before he could say anything. He said with a panicked expression, "Secretary Lu, have you ever received money from Lu Qian?"
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei's head banged. He said angrily, "Old Hu, what nonsense are you talking about? I, Lu Yiwei, have never taken a penny from anyone in my life."
"Oh." Hu Zhixiong breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
"What's going on?" Lu Yiwei had a premonition that this was not a simple matter.
Hu Zhixiong said, "I went to the Finance Department this afternoon. I was about to knock on the door when I heard Lu Qian on the phone inside. I overheard him say that he gave you a bank card worth 200,000 yuan. "
"Are you kidding me? I've seen more money than I care about his 200,000 yuan." Lu Yiwei sneered. "Who does Lu Qian think he is? I can't even be bothered to take a cigarette from him. I didn't teach this bastard a lesson, but he turned around and bit me instead. "
Hu Zhixiong saw that Lu Yiwei was so careless and said worriedly, "Secretary Lu, this is a special time. You have to treat it with caution. The investigation teams from the central government and the province have gone in and out several times. I don't know how many times they've gone to the management committee. Every time they go, they only investigate the problem and don't say anything else. So, you'd better be careful. Why don't you think about it carefully and see if you missed out on any details? "
Lu Yiwei sat there and racked his brains to think, but it had been so long since the incident. How could he remember it? He said, "No."
"That's good." Hu Zhixiong got up and said, "Secretary Lu, I have to leave quickly. You don't know that the management committee has been on high alert these past two days. Everyone's actions are under the surveillance of the investigation team. If I stay too long, it'll be bad for you. "
Lu Yiwei didn't urge him to stay. He couldn't get the bitterness out of his heart. He pursed his lips and said, "Old Hu, you be careful too."
Hu Zhixiong revealed a bitter smile and said, "I didn't do anything wrong. I'm not afraid of his investigation."
"Mm." Lu Yiwei didn't say anything more. He just gave him a determined look. At a time like this, eye contact was more powerful than any other form of communication. It was obvious at a glance whether the eyes were sincere or not.
At this moment, there was a loud crack of thunder in the sky outside the window, followed by a few bolts of lightning stabbing into the ground like unsheathed swords. The whole city flickered. Gray and black echoed, dark and light intersected. Thick dark clouds rolled in from afar and seemed to burst like a balloon in the next second.
Was the Heavens angry? People who were deeply indoctrinated with Confucianism would always closely associate man-made disasters with natural disasters. In fact, there was no relationship, but things were so coincidental. Lin Haifeng jumped off the building less than an hour ago. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Did the Heavens send a god to collect him, or was there another injustice?
