After the small talk, Lu Yiwei looked at the big and small bags on the cabinet and asked in confusion, "Secretary Wu, what are you doing?"
Wu Hexuan said casually, "You're such a bad boy. You haven't talked to me for almost half a month. If I hadn't had dinner with Mayor Bai yesterday, I would still be kept in the dark."
When Wu Hexuan mentioned Bai Yuxin, Lu Yiwei was not surprised. Lu Yiwei jokingly said, "Secretary Wu, everyone else is hiding now, afraid of getting involved with me. You, on the other hand, even made a special trip to see me. Aren't you afraid that I'll drag you down?"
"Humph!" Wu Hexuan's face changed. He put the teacup on the edge of the kang and said, "Brother Yiwei, you're treating me like an outsider. Other people are other people and I am me. They're two different things. What's more, I know the situation in the county. County Zhang is the one who has really contributed to Nanyang. Unfortunately, a villain has set up a trap to frame County Zhang. That's why he ended up like this. But I firmly believe that County Zhang will be fine and will come back with dignity. Nanyang County needs a good official like him! " As he spoke, Wu Hexuan's face was solemn and his eyes were wet. No one knew whether he was acting or not, but he seemed to be showing his true feelings.
Lu Yiwei sighed, "Secretary Wu, you're a sensible man. But what can we do? "
"Don't be discouraged. The more you're at this moment, the more you have to grit your teeth. As long as you get through it, everything will be clear. I don't believe that evil can overwhelm righteousness in this world! "Wu Hexuan said angrily.
Lu Yiwei thought for a while and asked, "Did you hear something?"
Wu Hexuan shook his head, "I'm just a town secretary. What can I hear? Even if there's something up there, I'll be the last to know. Well, I'm relieved to see that you're fine. By the way, is Chuchu better? "
Lu Yiwei suddenly realized that Wu Hexuan was not looking at him, but at Zhang Zhiyuan's daughter. Lu Yiwei kept the matter of Chu Chu coming to the Peach Blossom Village a secret. Very few people knew about it. He was afraid that if someone found out, it would disturb Chu Chu's normal life. Now that Wu Hexuan found out about it, he contacted him and told him that he was having dinner with Mayor Bai. It must be Bai Yuxin who leaked the news. He said, "Not bad, I'm recovering well."
"That's good!" Letting out a long breath, Wu Hexuan said, "I know an old TCM doctor who specializes in treating this kind of illness. Do you want me to bring him over to take a look?"
"No, I'm almost recovered. Thank you for your concern, Secretary Wu."
"Alright, if there's anything you need, just let me know. I promise to rush over immediately." While saying that, Wu Hexuan took out an envelope from his pocket and put it on the kang, "Yiwei, I came here in a hurry, so I don't know what to buy for the child. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please buy whatever the child wants to eat for me, okay?"
Lu Yiwei glanced at the envelope. It was quite thick. According to his experience, there should be at least ten thousand yuan in it. He walked over, picked up the money and stuffed it into Wu Hexuan's hand, "Secretary Wu, I appreciate your kindness. I will tell County Zhang about it in the future. But I can't accept this money. You should take it. "
"No! Since I know, I will do my best. I must accept it! "Wu Hexuan said unyieldingly.
Lu Yiwei firmly held Wu Hexuan down and said seriously, "Secretary Wu, listen to me! If you have been in contact with County Zhang, you should know what kind of person he is. He doesn't like to do things like this. If he knows about this in the future, not only will he not thank you, but he will also scold us. If you really want to help him, support him in his work. That will be the greatest kindness you can give him. "
Wu Hexuan was stunned, he didn't know what to do. After seeing Lu Yiwei's resolute expression, she put away the money and said, "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you, but if you need anything, you must tell me. If you don't, I'll fall out with you."
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "Thank you, Secretary Wu. If you need something, I do have it. I don't know if you are willing to help?"
"Say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help!" Wu Hexuan said straightforwardly.
Lu Yiwei said, "Although there are only a few families living in this Peach Blossom Village, there are still people around. But the dirt road into the village is full of potholes, so no one has been paying attention to it. Although the other villages don't have asphalt roads, they are at least leveled, so it is relatively convenient to go in and out. If possible, I hope that Secretary Wu can repair the road. "
"Ah!" Wu Hexuan sighed and said, "Brother Lu is right. It is time to repair it. But you also know the financial situation of Guyang Village. There is no income, and it is completely dependent on the financial allocation from the higher authorities. With that small amount of money, not to mention the welfare of the people, it is difficult to even maintain the daily operation of the village. However, since Brother Lu has brought it up, I will tighten my belt and repair the road before this year's freezing, okay? "
Lu Yiwei understood Wu Hexuan's difficulties and said, "Secretary Wu, I won't make things difficult for you. How about this, you do the work, and I will pay. We will work together to repair the road. It can also be considered as a benefit to the people."
"Come on!" Wu Hexuan said, "Even if Guyang Village is poor, does it still need you to pay? You don't need to worry about this, I will think of a way! "
"Thank you, Secretary Wu."
At noon, Lu Yiwei and Wu Hexuan drank two bottles of Xijiang red wine and were drunk. After sending Wu Hexuan away, Lu Yiwei fell asleep on the kang with a quilt over him.
In his sleep, Lu Yiwei felt someone was calling him. He opened his eyes and saw his father, Lu Weiguo. He closed his eyes and continued to sleep. But Lu Weiguo continued to shake him and said, "Yiwei, wake up. Someone is here."
Lu Yiwei opened his eyes and turned over. He saw four to five people standing on the ground. He rubbed his eyes. Except for one person, he did not recognize them. And the person he recognized was from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. Lu Yiwei seemed to understand something. He asked while getting off the bed. "What's the matter?"
The man from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection said. "Director Lu, Secretary Liao wants to see you. He asked me to invite you."
Lu Yiwei put on his shoes and rubbed his swollen head. "You guys are really good. You can even find me hiding here. I can't run away. Is there a need for so many people? "
The man did not say anything. The others stood there like Terracotta Warriors with a serious face.
Lu Yiwei had a premonition that something was going to happen. He said to his father, "Dad, I'm going back to the county to do something. If I'm late, I won't be back. Don't wait for me."
Although the honest Lu Weiguo did not know what they were going to do, he knew that these people did not come with good intentions. He pulled Lu Yiwei to the side and whispered, "Yiwei, tell dad the truth. These people are not here to catch you, right?"
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "Dad, what are you thinking? Your son did not break the law. Why would they want to catch me? Don't think too much. If I don't come back tonight, I'll be back tomorrow. Okay? "
Lu Weiguo nodded. His heart was beating very fast.
Lu Yiwei put on his clothes and said to the man, "Let's go!"
When they got on the car, Lu Yiwei habitually walked to the front passenger seat. He did not expect that the man would ask him to sit in the back seat. Lu Yiwei was helpless. After getting on the car, he was sandwiched in the middle. The car bumpily left the Peach Blossom Village. Along the way, the people in the car did not say a word. The atmosphere was very strange. After arriving at Nanyang County, the car did not go back to the County party committee's compound. Instead, it went straight to the city. Lu Yiwei was puzzled and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" One of the men replied fiercely.
Lu Yiwei drank some wine and bravely said, "Why can't I ask? Am I going to be taken away by you without knowing anything? "
The other people in the car still did not speak. The car quickly moved forward.
When they arrived at a relatively remote hotel on the outskirts of the city, the car stopped. A few people quickly got out of the car and surrounded the car. They sandwiched Lu Yiwei in the middle and went straight into the hotel.
On the third floor of the hotel, the men began to search Lu Yiwei and confiscated his phone before sending him to a conference room.
At this moment, a person that looked like a leader came in and sat across the table. He asked with a serious expression, "You're Lu Yiwei, right?"
Lu Yiwei already knew what was going on. He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm Lu Yiwei."
"Alright!" The middle-aged man said, "I'm from the City Commission for Discipline Inspection. Because you're involved in Zhang Zhiyuan's case, we have the right to question you. I hope that you can answer honestly and don't have any wishful thinking. If you can't answer clearly, I'm afraid that you won't be able to walk out of this room."
"Go ahead!" Lu Yiwei took out a cigarette from his pocket and casually said.
"Alright, we'll start now!" The middle-aged man said as he nodded his head to the few people outside. When the few people came in, one of them opened up a notebook, while another turned on a recording device. When the middle-aged man was about to speak, Lu Yiwei suddenly said, "Wait! I have a request. "
"What is it?"
"I want to meet with County Zhang." Lu Yiwei said.
"Do you think that's possible?" The middle-aged man snorted.
Lu Yiwei had been suppressing his anger along the way, but the middle-aged man's tone provoked him once again. He stood up and said, "If you guys don't allow me to meet County Zhang, then I refuse to answer."
The middle-aged man replied in disdain, "Regardless of whether you're willing to answer or not, it's not up to you since you're here. We're not in a rush, and we have plenty of time to waste with you. As long as you can think clearly, no one will stop you. But I have to tell you that Zhang Zhiyuan's case has been registered by the Municipal Party Committee, and your attitude will directly affect your future. You can weigh the pros and cons yourself. "
Lu Yiwei said angrily, "I'd like to ask, what mistake did Magistrate Zhang make to lock them up for so long and still refuse to let them go? How long do you want to keep this up? This is a violation of human rights! "
