The phone rang for a while, but no one picked up. Chen Xing furrowed his brows. Was Yu Liting deliberately not picking up the phone?
The beeping sound continued. Just as Chen Xing thought that Yu Liting didn't even want to pick up his call, Yu Liting picked up the phone just as it was about to hang up.
As soon as the call was picked up, Chen Xing immediately said, "Miss Yu, I'm very sorry to bother you again."
Yu Liting was silent. She clearly didn't want to pick up the call, but she still picked it up out of politeness.
"Leader Chen, what's the matter?" Yu Liting's voice was cold.
"I know that Miss Yu really doesn't want to pick up my call. Before I made this call, I also thought about it. After thinking about it, I still felt that I should call Miss Yu." Chen Xing smiled helplessly. Unknowingly, he had become so hated.
Although he thought about it, Chen Xing calmed himself down and said, "Miss Yu left in a hurry just now. I didn't even have the chance to thank Miss Yu for helping us.
"Leader Chen, there's no need to thank me. If you don't look for me again, that's already the greatest gratitude you can give me." Yu Liting smiled bitterly.
"Alright, it seems that Miss Yu doesn't even want to listen to my call. Then I won't waste any more time." When Chen Xing heard Yu Liting's words, he felt somewhat helpless. However, he couldn't be angry. From Yu Liting's perspective, he could understand her thoughts and concerns.
"Miss Yu, I'm calling you because I have something to tell you. I reckon that you won't like to hear it, but I still feel that it's necessary to inform you." Chen Xing said again, "Someone took a photo of our meeting at the coffee shop at noon."
Someone took a photo? Yu Liting's voice subconsciously rose, but her brain didn't react in time. They had only met at the coffee shop for a chat. Furthermore, they had sat face to face. There hadn't been any indecent behavior. What use was it for someone to take a photo?
The thoughts in her head disappeared in a flash. Yu Liting was about to say something when she suddenly froze. Her face gradually turned pale. Team Leader Chen, what are you trying to tell me?
We were followed, and even the meeting between you and me was filmed. I don't know who is behind this, but there is no doubt that it can only be a cadre in your city, so … Chen Xing didn't continue. He believed that Yu Liting would understand what she needed to understand at this point.
I knew it wouldn't end well for me to get involved in this. It definitely wouldn't end well. Yu Liting murmured in a daze.
Miss Yu, don't be like this. It's just that someone took a photo. The other party was following us, not you. Even if they knew that you were meeting with us, no one would dare to do anything to you. Chen Xing comforted her. Although he couldn't see Yu Liting's expression through the phone, he could feel that Yu Liting was a little out of sorts.
What if the person who sent people to follow you was Secretary Tong, and he found out that I helped you find out about this? Do you think I'll end well? Yu Liting calmed down a little, but she was still a little angry. At this moment, she already regretted helping Chen Xing. She was even more angry at Zheng Jing. She had caused such a mess for her. She would definitely give Zheng Jing a good scolding later to vent her anger.
Chen Xing was stunned by Yu Liting's words. He didn't immediately suspect Tong Baiyan, nor did he link this matter to Tong Baiyan. Now that Yu Liting said this, Chen Xing was deep in thought.
He's just a secretary. If he wants to mess with me, all he has to do is open his mouth. Not to mention me, even my whole family won't be able to live in peace. Yu Liting saw that Chen Xing didn't say anything and thought that Chen Xing had tacitly agreed with her words. She became even more angry.
Miss Yu, you don't have to worry. Even if it's really Tong Baiyan, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you, because you've come into contact with us. If he messes with you, wouldn't that be telling us that he's guilty? So he definitely wouldn't do that. You're thinking too much. Chen Xing came back to his senses and hurriedly said.
You're the one who said it, who knows what the truth is? Yu Liting pursed her lips and waved her hand at her husband, who was anxious to know what had happened after hearing her words. She motioned for him to keep quiet.
Miss Yu, if you're really so worried, then you should continue to help us and investigate Tong Baiyan's problems as soon as possible. If Tong Baiyan is innocent, then his conscience is clear, and he won't do anything to you. If he's really guilty, then we can make sure that he's punished by the Party's laws as soon as possible. Chen Xing turned around and tried to persuade her again.
Just as Chen Xing and Yu Liting were talking on the phone, in Tong Baiyan's office in the Municipal Party Committee, a few freshly developed photos were placed on Tong Baiyan's desk.
Tong Baiyan, who was about to take his afternoon nap in his office suite, glanced at the photos on his desk, and his attention was instantly drawn to them. The reason was none other than Yu Liting's police uniform was simply too eye-catching.
Who is this woman? Why is she meeting with the inspection team? Tong Baiyan, who was feeling a little sleepy, asked coldly.
This woman is a police officer from the Yuncheng District Public Security Bureau. Wu Xiaozhou replied.
Are you sure? Tong Baiyan's eyebrows twitched. The burglary case of his house was under the jurisdiction of the Yuncheng District Public Security Bureau, and the case was also handled by Xiang Xiaohai. Hearing Wu Xiaozhou's words, Tong Baiyan immediately became nervous.
There's no mistake. Secretary, look at this photo. It was enlarged and developed, and you can barely see her police number. I've asked Xiang Xiaohai about it, and I didn't expect him to be someone from his station. He just answered my call, and he's already rushing over here. Wu Xiaozhou said.
Xiang Xiaohai didn't leave any traces of yesterday's incident, right? Tong Baiyan's face darkened.
No, after you left last night, I've already confirmed with him that the incident was handled cleanly. Wu Xiaozhou replied. Although he was saying this, he was secretly muttering in his heart. Unless something had never happened, it was almost impossible to wipe it clean. Not to mention, the burglary case yesterday was known even by some people in the district, and it was impossible to silence those people. At most, it could be said that the incident was handled cleanly. However, he couldn't say this now, otherwise, the leader would be unhappy.
Tong Baiyan did not speak, his eyes staring at the photos on the desk.
After a moment of silence, Tong Baiyan suddenly asked. Xiao Zhou, why do you think this woman went to meet with Chen Xing and the others?
What was the purpose of the meeting? After all, the people following them didn't dare to get close, so there was no way they could hear what they were talking about. Wu Xiaozhou shrugged his shoulders.
Tong Baiyan clicked his tongue, knowing that Wu Xiaozhou wouldn't be able to give him an answer. He said impatiently, "Call Xiang Xiaohai and ask him where he is, and tell him to hurry up."
Tong Baiyan was in a bad mood, and Wu Xiaozhou didn't dare to directly say that Xiang Xiaohai was already on his way. He could only take out his phone and call Xiang Xiaohai in front of Tong Baiyan, symbolically urging him to hurry up.
