"Secretary Lu, where are we going now?" Li Ermao asked cautiously as he looked at Lu Yiwei who was in a daze.
Lu Yiwei looked at his watch and said, "Let's go to the Xihe Coal Mine."
How could a living person disappear into thin air? They had to find Li Haidong first.
After so many years, Lu Yiwei had mixed feelings when he returned to Beihe Town again. The town had undergone earth-shattering changes in the past few years. It was no longer a poverty-stricken town and had become one of the most promising towns in the county. All of this was due to the completion of the Xihe Coal Mine and Industrial Park. If it wasn't for Zhang Zhiyuan's reorganization of resources, they might not be able to see today's shadow.
After entering the Xihe Coal Mine, the General Manager, Peng Zhirong, recognized Lu Yiwei's car at a glance and quickly ran over to drive.
"Ah, Secretary Lu, you haven't been back for a long time." Peng Zhirong shook Lu Yiwei's hand excitedly.
Peng Zhirong was a foreigner who originally ran a small coal mine in Xikou Village. Under Lu Yiwei's matchmaking, he came together with Niu Fuyong and became the General Manager of the Xihe Coal Mine. In the past two years, the Xihe Coal Mine had a particularly good effect. Several shareholders had made a lot of money. If this continued, all of them would be millionaires.
Although Peng Zhirong was a foreigner, he had been in Beihe Town for more than ten years. He spoke fluent Nanyang dialect. Those who didn't know him would think he was a local.
Lu Yiwei shook hands with him and said with a smile, "Old Peng, your belly is getting bigger and bigger."
Peng Zhirong touched his round belly in embarrassment and scratched his head. "I can't help it. I have to drink at every meal. The County Kao is coming over for lunch. I was about to go out and pick him up when I met you."
"Which County Kao?"
"Deputy County Mayor Gao Bowen."
"Oh." Lu Yiwei couldn't be bothered to meet him. "Don't tell him I'm back when you see him later."
"Oh, okay." Peng Zhirong knew that the two of them didn't get along, so it was quite awkward to see each other.
"Is Fuyong here?"
"He went to the provincial capital to see his wife and child."
"Oh, okay, then I'll leave first. Let's talk in private when we meet another day."
"Why don't you have something to eat before you leave?" Peng Zhirong urged.
"No, I have something to discuss with Fuyong."
"Alright then, you must come another day."
Lu Yiwei got into his car, and as soon as he drove out of the main entrance, he brushed past Gao Bowen's car.
Most leaders would sit at the back, but Gao Bowen liked to sit at the front. When he saw a familiar car, he quickly turned his head to look, but the car had already left.
"Is that Lu Yiwei sitting inside?" Gao Bowen asked the driver.
"I didn't see it clearly either."
"Oh." Gao Bowen leaned back in his seat.
On the way, Lu Yiwei called Niu Fuyong. Sure enough, he was at home in the provincial capital. Hearing that he was going over, Niu Fuyong said generously, "Sure! I'll book a table at Donghu International Hotel later. Let's have a good drink. "
Donghu International Hotel was a newly completed five-star hotel. It was by far the most luxurious hotel in Xijiang Province. It was a landmark building in Jiangdong City, with an investment of one billion yuan. It was a project introduced by Zhang Bing, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, when he was also the governor. This was one of his greatest achievements.
When Lu Yiwei was in Beihe Town, he often ate at Niu Fuyong's house. Niu Fuyong's wife, Zhao Guihua, was a good cook. Ever since Niu Fuyong's accident, he sent him to the provincial capital for two reasons. First, his two children had to go to school, and second, he planned to do something big.
Lu Yiwei was sick of eating in restaurants every day. He said, "There's no need for a hotel. Ask my sister-in-law to cook a couple of dishes. I'll be there in a bit."
"Sure! Come to the back garden later. "
Back in Jiangdong City, Lu Yiwei went straight to the most luxurious villa in Qiyang District.
No one knew how many properties Niu Fuyong owned in Jiangdong City. But it was said that he not only owned properties in Jiangdong City, but also in Beijing, Qingdao, Xiamen, Shenzhen, and Hainan. Niu Fuyong was not like other coal bosses who were extravagant. He had invested all his money into real estate. In his words, if he were to fall one day, all these would be left for his wife and children.
No matter how much of a jerk Niu Fuyong was, he was surprisingly good to his wife. Every once in a while, he would come to stay for a few days. No matter how busy he was, he would still visit. It was said that men would become bad when they got rich, but it was not necessarily true.
After parking the car, Lu Yiwei said to Li Ermao, "Go back to the hotel. Don't worry about me."
Li Ermao did not have a home in Jiangdong City. Lu Yiwei specifically found a hotel near his house to rent for the long term.
Before leaving, Li Ermao said, "Secretary Lu, do you want me to help you find out about the situation?"
Lu Yiwei waved his hand and said, "Take your time. Let's wait and see."
When he entered the house, Zhao Guihua came up to him and said enthusiastically, "Brother, you haven't been here for a long time. I heard from Fuyong that you were coming. I was so excited. Come on in. "
Lu Yiwei smiled and looked inside. "Where's the kid?"
"It's summer vacation. He went to visit his uncle." Zhao Guihua looked at the things in Lu Yiwei's hands and said, "It's fine. Why did you buy something again? It's too expensive."
Lu Yiwei and Niu Fuyong had been together for many years. Almost every time he went out, he would buy something for his family. It was a habit and also a sign of respect. Niu Fuyong always said that he only saw people giving things out. He never saw people giving things to him. Lu Yiwei was the only exception.
Niu Fuyong saw this and felt warm. He said, "Brother Lu bought things for the kid because he thinks highly of us. Keep it!" Although the gift was not a big deal, the key was kindness.
They had been together for so many years, so there was no need for formalities. Lu Yiwei did not stand on ceremony and treated it as his own home. He changed his shoes and lay on the sofa lazily. He picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it up.
"Are you not used to it?" Niu Fuyong asked with concern. He knew that Lu Yiwei was not in a good mood.
"It's fine. I can rest for a while." Lu Yiwei replied casually.
Niu Fuyong felt guilty. He found out about this too late and could not help much. He tried his best and spent a lot of money to find connections in the province. But after hearing about Lu Yiwei, no one dared to help. Luckily, nothing happened to him. If not, it would be too late for regrets. "Brother Lu, this matter …"
Lu Yiwei waved his hand. "Don't talk about it. Nothing happened."
"Fine. Let's not talk about it." Niu Fuyong sat up. "It's good to leave that place. He doesn't want us, so we won't go!"
Lu Yiwei laughed. "It's a pity that you spent so much money to hire a celebrity. Haha."
Niu Fuyong laughed. "Money is useless. You can earn it after spending it. What's there to regret? I wanted to show my face to you, but this happened. Fine. Let's not talk about it. "
Lu Yiwei sat up and asked. "Have you seen Hai Dong recently?"
"No." Niu Fuyong was puzzled. "Isn't he working at your mine?"
It seems that Niu Fuyong did not know about it. Lu Yiwei shook his head. "Fuyong, there's something I don't know how to tell you. Sigh!"
"What's wrong?" Niu Fuyong's eyes widened.
Lu Yiwei took a puff of his cigarette. "A while ago, I asked him to sell the mine as soon as possible. Now, the owner of the mine has changed hands. But I can't find him. Even his wife and children are missing."
"Ah?" Niu Fuyong stood up as if he had been electrocuted. This bastard dares to do this? "
"Don't be agitated." Lu Yiwei pulled Niu Fuyong to sit down. "Maybe Hai Dong went out for some business or went on a holiday with his family. He is my brother. We can't suspect him. We'll talk when we meet."
"Brother, why are you still speaking up for him?" Niu Fuyong was agitated. "This bastard must have run away with the money."
Lu Yiwei did not want to accept this fact. He shook his head. "Hai Dong is not that kind of person."
Niu Fuyong grumbled. "Brother Lu, I told you in the beginning that Li Haidong is not a good person. But you didn't listen and even treated him like a brother. I look down on him because I know what kind of person he is. Since young, he has been sneaking around and extorting people. He was a little more restrained when he was with you. Now, you've been tricked. "
Lu Yiwei's mind was in a mess. "Now is not the time to talk about this. I still stand by my words. If I don't see him, I won't believe it. I need help. Help me find him. "
Seeing Lu Yiwei being so stubborn, Niu Fuyong shook his head helplessly. "Brother Lu, you are too kind. He took your money and ran away, but you are still speaking up for him. If it was me, I would have chopped him alive if I caught him. "
Lu Yiwei did not listen to him. "Is there a way?"
Niu Fuyong sat there in deep thought. "Where can this bastard run to? As long as he is in the country, I can find him even if he turns into ashes. If he is overseas, it will be difficult. I will give it a try. "
"Mm." Lu Yiwei reminded. "Don't make things difficult for him when you find him. I want to ask him personally."
"Ai!" Niu Fuyong sighed and said, "What's going on? Why didn't you look for me when you wanted to sell the coal? Forget it. It's too late to talk about this. I will try my best to think of a way. "
Niu Fuyong had a wide social circle. He knew people from all walks of life. It should not be a problem for him to find someone.
After hearing that the coal was sold for 8 million RMB, Niu Fuyong's anger rose. He slammed the table. "Brother Lu, I am really f * cking angry. What is this son of a b * tch trying to do? When I see him, I will make him spit it out. "
"Alright. Don't say such things." Lu Yiwei said. "I know your character. I will not look for you. I am the one who agreed to sell the coal. Haidong can decide how much to buy. This is not the point. "
"Brother Lu!" Niu Fuyong was exasperated. "You still haven't come to your senses? This son of a b * tch clearly wants to scam you. He saw that you are going to be in trouble and that there is no future for him to follow you. He took the opportunity to pack his money and run away. Otherwise, the two of them will disappear together? This is too strange. "
At this moment, Fan Chunfang called. "Yiwei, where are you? Come back quickly."
"What's the matter?" Lu Yiwei's heart tightened as he urged.
Fan Chunfang said, "I just went to the house in Grand View Yu Garden. I tried to open the door for a long time, but it did not open. Who knew that a stranger would walk out. After careful investigation, I found out that the house was sold. Was it you who sold it? "
