A clap of thunder broke the silence outside the window. A bolt of lightning exploded in the sky, emitting a dazzling light that penetrated the window and shone on his face. Not long after, a heavy downpour fell on Long'an.
Lu Yiwei took out a cigarette and passed it to Liu Zhankui. After a long moment of consideration, he took the cigarette and lit it up. He cleared his throat and said, "Lu Yiwei, tell me the truth. When you first came to Long 'an, did you come with a mission?"
Lu Yiwei didn't expect him to ask this. He tilted his head and smoked. "No."
"Then why did the organization send you?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?"
"Whatever you say."
Lu Yiwei flicked his cigarette and said, "The truth is, I don't know why I'm here, and I don't have any mission."
"Then why do you always oppose me?"
"This … I don't think it exists. I have no enmity with you, and I'm not going against you, much less targeting you. You, on the other hand, are constantly pressuring me and forcing me into a corner … If you blame me for not becoming the secretary of the County party committee, it's a bit too much. Perhaps, you should find the reason from within yourself. "
"Haha …"
Liu Zhankui suddenly burst into laughter. It lasted for a long time before he abruptly stopped. He stared with his big eyes and said, "It's not your turn to criticize and educate me. Before you came, Chang 'an was safe and sound. But ever since you came, things have been happening one after another. I didn't believe it when people said that you were the God of Plagues, but now I do. Now that things have come to this, you've brought the flames of war to me. What are you trying to do? "
Lu Yiwei smiled faintly and said, "How would I dare to criticize you? As a junior, I respect you very much. I'm a man who dares to take responsibility for what I've done, and I'm not afraid of any danger. It's a little far-fetched to put all the blame on me. It only shows that there are many problems in Long 'an. The Tianjin incident exposed a major safety hazard. If the higher-ups investigate seriously, do you think you can escape responsibility? Drugs and gambling were rampant in Long'an City. Who was the one who condoned them? Chang 'an's finances were weak, and the city was in huge debt. How could one explain the massive construction projects that involved the aftermath of every project? Xin Heng Coal Mine evaded taxes for ten years, who lost and who got rich, how could this be explained? I think you should know better than me. "
"Enough!"
Liu Zhankui scolded, "Do you think you're a savior? Don't think too highly of yourself. I didn't come here today to listen to you. I'll just tell you one thing. Stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire. "
Lu Yiwei calmly said, "I've received many death threats over the years, and the fact that I'm still sitting here today proves that evil cannot prevail over good. Besides, it's not that I want to do anything to you, it's just that you've gone too far. I didn't intend to investigate you. You were the one who had a guilty conscience. You actually killed Liang Haiping. Such a stupid method is too low level. "
Liu Zhankui's face slightly twitched. He slowly stood up and said, "Fine. I've said what I need to say. If you insist on doing this, then don't blame me for being impolite." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lu Yiwei's heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He got up and switched off the recording pen and put it in his pocket. In the face of such a powerful force, he was alone, fighting alone, and he was exhausted. Even so, he couldn't fall.
On the third night, Lu Yiwei received a call from Fan Chunfang. She cried on the other end of the phone, "Yiwei, come back quickly. Dad, Dad was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection."
Hearing this news was like a blow to his head. He quickly sat up and calmly said, "Don't cry. What's going on?"
"I don't know. Mom just called and said that a few people came into the house and took Dad away without saying anything. You should come back quickly."
After hanging up, Lu Yiwei sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a long time. The first thing he thought of was the conversation he had with Liu Zhankui the night before yesterday. Could this be his revenge?
He got dressed and quickly went downstairs. He called Nan Chao and rushed to the provincial capital. On the way, he quickly thought of a way to deal with it. The key was that he didn't know what reason the other party had to take him away. He had to figure it out first.
After thinking for a long time, he thought of Feng Leijian, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He had a good relationship with Fan Rongkui and should know the reason. He took out his phone and called three or four times in a row, but no one answered. In the end, he just hung up, indicating that he knew about the matter and deliberately avoided it.
In a hurry, he dialed Zhang Zhiyuan's number.
Zhang Zhiyuan was also shocked when he heard about it. He had no idea what was going on. He said, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way to understand it."
It was already one o 'clock in the morning when he returned to Jiangdong City. When he entered the house, Fan Chunfang and her mother were sitting on the sofa. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. When she saw him, it was as if she had seen her savior. She immediately got up and burst into tears. "Yiwei, quickly think of a way."
Lu Yiwei patted her and comforted her. "Don't worry, I'm thinking of a way. Have you called Uncle Feng? "
Fan Chunfang whimpered. "I did, but he didn't pick up. I'll call him again."
Lu Yiwei waved his hand and said, "Don't call. It's useless. He won't pick up. Where's Lang Lang? "
"He's asleep."
"Oh, then lower your voice. Don't wake the child up."
Lu Yiwei sat on the sofa. His brain was working quickly, but he still didn't know what to do. He had been dealing with the Commission for Discipline Inspection every day, so he was very clear about the procedures. If the other party didn't have conclusive evidence, they wouldn't act easily. What evidence did they have?
There were already rumors about Fan Rongkui when he left Xi Zhou City. When he was in charge of Xi Zhou City, he also offended a group of officials, but he didn't have to go this far. As for the rest, he didn't know anything. The two of them rarely talked when they met. Could it be because he bought a house in Capital, or because of the affair between a man and a woman? But he had a feeling that this matter was targeted at him. Maybe Liu Zhankui was adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes.
Sun Chunyun chattered on and on. Apart from complaining, she couldn't say anything of value. Lu Yiwei held his phone tightly in his hand, waiting for Zhang Zhiyuan's reply. After all, he was in the provincial government. It shouldn't be a big problem to find out about this matter. But so much time had passed, and there was still no news.
He couldn't sit still anymore. Ignoring the fact that it was late at night, he braced himself and dialed Zhang Zhiyuan's number. The other party picked up very quickly. It seemed like he hadn't slept yet. He said, "I'm still asking around. Many people don't know about this matter. It's too late, so it's not appropriate to call anyone. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning. "
Lu Yiwei's heart was burning with anxiety. He desperately wanted to know the answer. When he thought of Guo Jinzhu's ending, he couldn't just sit still and wait for death. He said anxiously, "Are you asleep? Why don't I go over?"
Zhang Zhiyuan was silent for a moment. "Alright, come over."
