The rain was getting heavier. Lu Yiwei's legs felt like they were filled with lead as he stood there stiffly.
The torment in his heart was like a willow tree sprouting in the rain. If he could endure it, it would grow strong and strong. If not, it would be chopped down by humans.
Lu Yiwei sat on the sofa for more than ten minutes and had an idea. No matter how late it was tonight, he had to meet the investigation team and hand over the card to explain the situation.
He got up and quickly went downstairs. Ignoring the heavy rain, he walked to the front of the car and drove to the Provincial Party Committee's guest house.
This time, the investigation team's identity was public, so their residence was also public. But the Provincial Party Committee's guest house was a place to receive important guests. There were armed police standing guard at the entrance and security guards patrolling. There was even a guard station at the side to ensure the safety of the leaders. It was harder than reaching the sky to get in.
Of course, leaders of a certain level could come and go as they pleased. But he was just a nobody. Who would recognize him? There was a nameplate on the company, but he could only use his face in the government. The only identification was the Provincial Party Committee pass hanging on the car. But he had handed over the car. He was unemployed and had no identification.
But no matter what, he had to get in. After tonight, it would be too late.
11: 45 pm. The guest house was still brightly lit. The armed police stood on both sides of the door with guns in their hands. There were also security guards standing in the shed at the side. There were many cars of the Provincial Party Committee parked in the parking lot. Some of them even had their tail lights on. And in the small room at the guard station, there was a group of people. Lu Yiwei carefully identified them. Most of them were the leaders' secretaries and chauffeurs.
It was so late, but the leaders were still in the guest house. They were probably holding an emergency meeting to discuss Lin Haifeng's suicide. Lu Yiwei sat in the car uneasily. It was a fool's dream to go in at this time. He probably couldn't even reach the door. But if he didn't go in, how could he wash away the dirt on him?
He couldn't care so much! Lu Yiwei took a deep breath, got out of the car and walked quickly to the door. Before he got close, the guard had already issued a warning. "Please step back outside the yellow line!"
"Comrade, I am …"
"Please step back outside the yellow line!"
Lu Yiwei stood back and explained, "Comrade, I'm here to look for Governor Shen."
Once he stepped out of the yellow line, he was no longer in the jurisdiction of the armed police. No matter what Lu Yiwei said, the policeman looked ahead and ignored him.
The rain was getting heavier, and Lu Yiwei was completely drenched. Seeing that he was unable to enter, he began to feel anxious. He retreated to the eaves of the security office, sheltering himself from the rain as he thought of a solution.
Suddenly, he glanced at Deputy Governor Shen Guangming's car and immediately took out his phone to call Li Ermao.
Under the arrangement of Zhang Zhiyuan, Li Ermao not only solved his job, but also got the opportunity to drive for Shen Guangming. For a peasant from a poor background, this was already a supreme honor.
"Ermao, where are you?"
"I'm at the Provincial Party Committee's guest house. What's wrong?"
Sure enough, he was here. Lu Yiwei said, "I'm at the door. Come out for a while."
After a while, Li Ermao came out of the security office and saw Lu Yiwei, who looked like a drowned rat. He said in surprise, "Secretary Lu, what's wrong with you?" As he spoke, he took off his coat and put it on him.
Lu Yiwei sneezed a few times and said, "Is Governor Shen inside?"
"Yes."
"Where's Secretary Zhang?"
"He's also here."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei asked tentatively, "It's so late. What's the meeting about?"
Li Ermao whispered in his ear, "You've heard about Lin Haifeng's suicide, right? He's urgently studying this matter now."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei directly stated his intention and said, "Ermao, I want to go in. Do you have any way?"
"This …" Li Ermao said with some embarrassment, "Are you looking for Governor Shen?"
"No, I'm looking for the leader of the investigation team."
"Ah?" Li Ermao said in disbelief, "Secretary Lu, I can help you go through this door, but the next door is guarded by the Provincial Party Committee General Office. I don't think you can go through it."
Lu Yiwei did not expect it to be so difficult to enter a guest house. He said, "Can Secretary Zhang take me in?"
"Uh … almost. Why don't you call him? He's waiting in the small conference room on the second floor. "
Lu Yiwei thought for a while and said, "You call him."
Li Ermao did not know why, so he did not ask further. He took out his phone and said, "What should I say?"
"Just tell him I'm downstairs."
"Okay."
Five minutes after Li Ermao made the phone call, Zhang Zhiyuan appeared in the guest house entrance hall. He looked around and took a few steps back.
Lu Yiwei saw this and greeted him. Zhang Zhiyuan quickly ran down and pulled him to the side. He looked nervous and said in a hurried tone, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan, Lu Yiwei seemed to see his savior. He said in a hoarse voice, "Secretary Zhang, I have something urgent to talk to you about."
Zhang Zhiyuan saw Lu Yiwei's expression and knew it was something serious. He said to Li Ermao, "Keep an eye on it. The meeting will be over in five minutes. If Governor Shen comes down later, help me block him. I'll come back immediately!" After that, he pulled Lu Yiwei to a small pavilion in the park.
"What's wrong? You look panicked. "Zhang Zhiyuan looked at his watch and asked.
Lu Yiwei knew that Zhang Zhiyuan was pressed for time, so he said directly, "Secretary Zhang, I've been framed." He took out his bank card and showed it to Zhang Zhiyuan. "I don't know when Lu Qian from the finance department of the management committee slipped a card into my laptop. I didn't notice it until today."
Zhang Zhi Yuan sucked in a breath of cold air and glared at him angrily, saying, "I asked you before if there was anything that wasn't neat, and you said there wasn't. Why is there such a thing happening now? How much money is in it? "
"I didn't see it. I heard it's 200,000 yuan."
Zhang Zhiyuan did not panic. "What are you going to do?"
"I want to meet the leader of the investigation team and explain this matter."
"Can you explain it clearly?"
"…" Lu Yiwei was not sure.
Zhang Zhiyuan thought for a long time but could not think of a good solution. "The investigation team's work is coming to an end. They were supposed to leave Xijiang Province today and return to the capital. I didn't expect this to happen tonight. They are so busy. Will they meet you because of this? "
Lu Yiwei did not know what to do for a while. "What do you think we should do?"
Zhang Zhiyuan looked around the guest house and said, "What are you really going to do?"
Lu Yiwei smiled bitterly. "If the investigation team leaves, I won't even have a chance to explain."
Zhang Zhiyuan bit his lip and said, "How about this? I'll help you bring it in later. You go to the toilet and hide. The meeting will probably be over soon. You can come out after the leaders leave. The leader of the investigation team lives in room 513. Whether you can meet him or not depends on your luck. "
"Okay." Lu Yiwei nodded.
"Let's go!"
On the way, Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Don't worry if you can't meet the leader. We'll think about it later."
"Okay."
With Zhang Zhiyuan leading the way, Lu Yiwei easily entered the door. When he entered the guest house, two staff members stood up vigilantly. Zhang Zhiyuan immediately explained, "He's here to report to Governor Shen. It's an emergency."
The staff looked at Lu Yiwei doubtfully. He did not say anything and reluctantly let him go.
After entering the corridor, Zhang Zhiyuan said softly, "Go to the fifth floor. Be calm and don't be nervous."
Lu Yiwei went to the fifth floor and went straight to the toilet. He opened a random one and closed the door.
Ten minutes later, Lu Yiwei heard a commotion downstairs. The meeting was probably over. After a while, the elevator door on the fifth floor opened, and a few people walked out quickly. A familiar voice was heard, "Secretary Zhang, I will report this matter to Secretary Li."
Zhang Bingtong said, "Okay. We don't want to see this happen either. But since it happened, we should face it. We're still investigating the cause. I'll report to you as soon as I find out. "
"Okay." The man stopped and shook hands. "Thank you, Secretary Zhang, for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit me. If you come to Beijing, you must do me a favor and have a meal with me."
"Hehe … No problem!" Zhang Bingtong held his hand. "I've been busy for so many days and didn't have time to accompany you. Why don't you leave in two days?"
"No need. The higher-ups are pressing me. I have to go back and report. Maybe next time."
"That's all we can do. Work is more important." Zhang Bingtong said, "When you go back, you must pass my regards to Secretary Li. I have some responsibility for what happened in Xijiang Province. "
"Secretary Zhang, you're too polite." The man said, "When the territory is big, anything can happen. You can't take care of everything. The organization still trusts you. "
Zhang Bingtong suddenly whispered, "Can't Yuanhang avoid it this time?"
The man also whispered, "I can't guarantee this. I'll try my best. When the time comes, we will give feedback on how to deal with it. You still have to hold a meeting to decide the actual operation. "
"Okay!" Zhang Bingtong said, "Yuanhang has some small problems, but overall he's not bad. He can see the big picture and look at the big picture. We can't deny everything about him just because he didn't educate his children well. I will handle this matter carefully. "
"Okay." The man nodded. "This time, we found a lot of problems in the management committee. The management of funds is chaotic and the people are complaining. This is a very sensitive issue. I hope Secretary Zhang will pay enough attention to it and listen to it. "
"Don't worry about this. I know what to do."
"That's good."
"It's getting late. I won't disturb your rest. I'll leave first."
"Okay, okay. Take care."
"I'll send you off tomorrow morning."
"No, no, no. We'll leave early tomorrow morning. There's no need to trouble you."
"Okay. Let my secretary general, Tu Qiang, send me off."
"You're welcome."
Then, the elevator door closed and they exchanged pleasantries. Only when he heard the door open did Lu Yiwei's worried heart finally relax.
