Time ticked by. This time, Yu Liting was silent for a few minutes. When she came back to her senses, she saw that Chen Xing and Jiang Haijun had been staring at her. Yu Liting smiled bitterly. You guys are really putting me in a difficult position.
Miss Yu, if you are really worried about being retaliated against, I think the promise I made just now should be enough to dispel your concerns. You don't have to worry about this anymore. Chen Xing said sincerely.
Tingting, since Chen Xing has already said so much, you should help them. As a police officer and a Party member, your consciousness has always been very high. You won't really not help them, right? Besides, those corrupt officials are drinking the blood of the people. You should stand up and help Chen Xing and the others, and find out these corrupt people who are doing nothing but doing nothing. Zheng Jing nudged Yu Liting with her elbow and spared no effort to persuade this good friend of Chen Xing.
Yu Liting looked helplessly at Zheng Jing beside her. It was really easy for Zheng Jing to say such words. She had no idea how dangerous it was for a small person like her to get involved in such a matter.
Yu Liting thought about it for a long time and made a rough decision. She turned to look at Chen Xing and said, "Mr Chen, I promise to help you, but I have to make it clear in advance that I can only help you to inquire about the situation within the scope of my ability. If you want me to investigate in depth, I really don't have that ability."
After Yu Liting finished speaking, her eyes also stopped on Chen Xing's face, waiting for Chen Xing's reaction. If Chen Xing felt that this was not enough, then she could only apologize. It was not that she didn't want to help, but that she couldn't afford to. For cadres like Tong Baiyan, he could easily crush her with a finger. Chen Xing and the others had the protection of the inspection team, so they could be fearless, but she was just a small police officer in the city. What kind of protection could she have? Even though Chen Xing had given her a guarantee, Yu Liting was still afraid.
At this moment, it took a lot of courage for Yu Liting to make up her mind to help Chen Xing and the others. This was because Yu Liting did not want to go against her conscience. Just as Zheng Jing had said, she was a police officer and a Party member. Although she did not necessarily have a noble consciousness, as an ordinary person, Yu Liting also had her own conscience. If she could help, Yu Liting was willing to try. However, considering the risks, she could only hold back. It was precisely because of this contradictory mentality that Yu Liting made this decision.
Since Yu Liting had made her stand, Chen Xing was silent for a while, and then he said with a smile, "Okay, it's already commendable that Miss Yu agreed to help us inquire about it."
Alright, I'll help you find out about this at work tomorrow. Yu Liting nodded.
Miss Yu is not coming back to the police station today? Chen Xing frowned when he heard that Li Ting had to wait until tomorrow.
I'm off today. If I go back to the station to ask about this, it'll be easy for people to suspect me. Yu Liting shook her head.
That's true. Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded. Yu Liting's words made sense. He was a little too hasty.
After the discussion, they chatted casually. After all, Yu Liting was not familiar with Chen Xing and Jiang Haijun, so she was a little reserved. After sitting for more than ten minutes, she was about to leave.
Miss Yu, can you give me your number? We can contact each other directly in the future. Chen Xing said.
Well, that's fine. Yu Liting nodded, asked for Chen Xing's number, and called him with her mobile phone.
After they exchanged numbers, Yu Liting left. Because Yu Liting lived in the neighborhood next door, Zheng Jing walked Yu Liting to the entrance of the neighborhood before returning. Seeing that Chen Xing and Jiang Haijun had also walked out of the cafe, Zheng Jing looked at Chen Xing and said with a wry smile, "My friend scolded me a lot just now, saying that I made her miserable."
Most people's mentality was to avoid trouble, so it was normal for her to blame you. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Hey, Chen Xing, will you be in danger when you investigate that Tong Baiyan? I think my friend is quite worried.
Don't worry, it will be fine. I promised her that if something really happens, we won't just stand by and do nothing. Chen Xing smiled.
After chatting with Zheng Jing for a while at the entrance, both parties left. Chen Xing and Jiang Haijun returned to the hostel. Not long after, Tan Wenlan and the others also returned.
Chen Xing asked for a while, and after learning that the police station had made a statement and promised to investigate the matter as soon as possible, he didn't say anything more. This was just a small incident. Chen Xing believed that after the local police found out the identity of Tan Wenlan and the other "victims", they wouldn't dare to delay or be perfunctory.
It was near evening. After looking at the time, Chen Xing thought for a while, and called the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Liao Jingming.
Hey, Team Leader Chen, what a rare guest, why did you call me again? On the phone, Liao Jingming sounded a little surprised.
Secretary Liao, are you free tonight? I want to ask you out for a chat. Chen Xing smiled.
I'm free, Team Leader Chen.
Why wouldn't I be free? Liao Jingming smiled.
Okay, see you tonight. Chen Xing smiled and arranged a time and place with Liao Jingming. They didn't have much to talk about, so they hung up.
After Chen Xing hung up, he didn't take this matter to heart. He asked Liao Jingming out at night because of Zheng Jing's husband. Chen Xing also planned to ask Jiang Haijun to go with him. At that time, there would be a witness to what they said, lest people think that he had called the local leaders for personal gain because of his classmate's matter.
After Chen Xing hung up, he went to do other things. On the other end of the phone, Liao Jingming sat motionlessly with his phone in his hand. His expression was solemn. Why did Chen Xing call him at this critical juncture? Today, Ning Shuangqi had just been taken away by Chen Xing and the others in the meeting room of the Municipal Party Committee. Now that Chen Xing called him, no matter how strong his psychological quality was, he couldn't help but be nervous.
Secretary, don't tell me they found out about us? Wu Xiaozhou was in Liao Jingming's office just now. Liao Jingming answered Chen Xing's phone call, and Wu Xiaozhou heard it clearly. He couldn't help but say worriedly.
It shouldn't be. Didn't you say that you did it very quickly every time and didn't leave any clues? Liao Jingming glanced at Wu Xiaozhou. He had always been very confident in the ability of his trusted secretary to do things.
It was done very quickly, but I'm afraid that the inspection team found something through other channels. Otherwise, why would Chen Xing call you? Wu Xiaozhou frowned. They had secretly sent evidence to the inspection team several times, speeding up the inspection team's investigation on Ning Shuangqi. Otherwise, Ning Shuangqi wouldn't have been taken down so quickly. Now, Wu Xiaozhou was worried that if they found out something, the inspection team would definitely suspect that they had ulterior motives. Secretly collecting evidence on their colleagues and using such anonymous methods. What were they trying to do?
Maybe he had other things to do. If he had any doubts, he wouldn't have called me. Liao Jingming seemed to have figured something out. He smiled and patted Wu Xiaozhou's shoulder. Xiaozhou, don't worry too much.
Secretary, since you said so, then I have nothing to worry about. Wu Xiaozhou smiled and tried to please him. Secretary, now that Ning Shuangqi has fallen, I don't know if the higher-ups will focus on you when considering the candidate for the new mayor. You have been in Yuntian for so many years, and your achievements are obvious to all. No one is more familiar with Yuntian's situation than anyone else.
What the higher-ups think is their business. We just have to do our part. As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. Xiaozhou, don't you think so? Liao Jingming looked at Wu Xiaozhou with a smile.
Secretary, you're right. Anyway, I believe that the higher-ups will definitely see your contribution to Yuntian. Wu Xiaozhou smiled.
