As for the Party School, Ning Deyan went to ask Chen Xing for leave. The day after his talk with Ning Deyan, Chen Xing packed a few pieces of luggage and set foot on the land of the South Sea again.
Because there was no airport in Mountain Gaze, Chen Xing could only take a plane to Nanzhou, the provincial capital, and then go to Mountain Gaze from Nanzhou.
Among the 12 prefecture-level cities in Nanhai Province, Mountain Gaze was the most economically backward place. This prefecture-level city, which occupied nearly one-sixth of the province's territory, had the largest area in the province, but its economy was the most backward.
When Chen Xing had first arrived in Mountain Gaze, he had wanted to start a career and take root in Mountain Gaze, hoping to change the poor and backward appearance of this city. However, the reality had not given him the time to realize his ambitions. He had left Nanzhou with some regrets. After all, many new policies had just been implemented in Nanzhou, and it was the time for him to realize his ambitions. However, he had been ordered to go to Mountain Gaze in the face of danger. Therefore, although he felt a little regretful when he left Nanzhou, he was in a good mood. Because in Mountain Gaze, he had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility in the face of danger, so he had nothing to be unhappy about.
Moreover, he could perform better in the Mountain Gaze because this backward city was more suitable for him to display his ambitions. Therefore, when he had first arrived at the Mountain Gaze, he had been complacent. However, in the end, he had been severely beaten by reality and left unwillingly. Therefore, Chen Xing had been suppressing his anger in the depths of his heart.
Now that he could go back again, Chen Xing was both excited and had an indescribable, complicated feeling.
Chen Xing didn't stay too long in Nanzhou. He didn't even contact his women and old friends in Nanzhou. Instead, he went directly to Mountain Gaze.
Both He Li and Jiang Wan were still in Nanzhou. Jiang Wan could only settle down in Nanzhou because she ran a restaurant. That was her current career and her only source of income. In addition, the restaurant's business had always been good, so she had enough money to support her parents and take care of her brother's family. Therefore, Jiang Wan was reluctant to leave.
As for He Li, he was not short of money. He Li had always been restless. In the past, because Chen Xing had gone to Nanzhou, He Li and Chu Rong had followed him. After Chen Xing was transferred to Mountain Gaze, it was still within Nanhai Province, so it was easy for them to meet. He Li didn't go to Mountain Gaze. Later, Chen Xing had to leave Mountain Gaze and return to the capital. He Li didn't follow him. On the one hand, Zhang Ningning was in the capital. On the other hand, He Li really liked Nanzhou now, so he simply stayed.
Because of He Li, Chu Rong also stayed in Nanzhou for a large part of the year. Both of them had a secret relationship with Chen Xing. In addition, they were like sisters, so they spent most of their time together. However, Chu Rong's business was getting bigger and bigger. A large part of it was in Hai City, so Chu Rong had to spend some time in Hai City every year to deal with business.
When Chen Xing returned to the South China Sea, he didn't contact He Li, Chu Rong, and Jiang Wan. Over the past year, Chen Xing had very little contact with these women. Today, Chen Xing had been thinking about his relationship with these women. Chen Xing knew that maintaining such a relationship was not necessarily a wise move. It was a man's nature. As a man, Chen Xing knew that the irrepressible possessiveness in his bones made him reluctant to part with these women. But reason told him that it was time to slowly dilute and deal with the entangled relationship with too many women. Now, he was in a state of contradiction.
In fact, in Nanzhou, in addition to the three women, Chen Xing still remembered Zhu Ziqing, who he had a one-night stand with. After Zhu Ziqing went abroad, Chen Xing had almost cut off contact with him. The most recent time was probably the chance encounter at the airport. At that time, it seemed that Zhu Ziqing had just returned from abroad. Was Zhu Ziqing abroad or in Nanzhou now? Chen Xing didn't know, nor did he think about taking the initiative to contact him. His relationship with the three women, He Li, Chu Rong, and Jiang Wan, had already given him a headache. Chen Xing subconsciously didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke Zhu Ziqing.
In addition to Zhu Ziqing, there was also Yang Hong. When Chen Xing thought of this woman who was still in the Mountain Gaze, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This time, it was probably not suitable for him to go to the Mountain Gaze to contact her.
After more than three hours of driving, Chen Xing arrived at the Mountain Gaze. He didn't rush to leave the bus station. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and made a call. After talking to the other party for a while, Chen Xing waited at the bus station.
About 20 minutes later, a black Honda commercial car stopped at the entrance of the bus station. After Chen Xing checked the license plate, he quickly opened the door and got in the car.
Hello, Leader Chen. I'm Shen Zeliang. As soon as Chen Xing got in the car, a middle-aged man wearing old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses took the initiative to smile and reach out to Chen Xing.
Hello, it turned out to be Leader Shen. When Chen Xing heard this, he quickly reached out and shook hands with him, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. It turned out that the other party was Shen Zeliang, the person in charge of the Mountain Gaze investigation team. Before coming here, Ning Deyan had mentioned him to him.
After a cursory glance at Shen Zeliang, Chen Xing was impressed by Shen Zeliang. The reason was none other than the thick, old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of Shen Zeliang's nose. They looked like the type of presbyopic glasses that old people used to wear. Chen Xing couldn't help but take a few more glances at them. He almost wanted to ask, "You're a department-level cadre after all. It's impossible that you can't even afford a pair of glasses, right?"
Although he thought about it, Chen Xing naturally wouldn't really ask. Moreover, the thought in his heart was just a joke.
"Leader Chen, I'm really sorry to trouble you to make a trip here this time." Shen Zeliang said apologetically.
"Leader Shen, you don't have to say that. If I can help, I'm happy to make a few more trips." Chen Xing smiled and said, "Leader Shen, don't call me Leader Chen. Just call me Chen Xing."
Chen Xing was no longer part of the Inspection Team. Shen Zeliang addressing him this way was nothing more than a form of respect.
"Okay, I'll call you Chen Xing. Don't call me Leader Shen. It sounds awkward to me. Just call me Zeliang." Shen Zeliang also smiled.
After the two exchanged a few words, Shen Zeliang said again, "Chen Xing, I didn't have to trouble you to come this time, but an important witness on our side, who was about to make a breakthrough, suddenly died. Alas, the investigation was suddenly interrupted. I can only ask you to make a trip."
"Zeliang, don't treat me like an outsider. I just said that as long as I can help, I'm happy to make a few more trips, let alone one." Chen Xing smiled. Thinking of Shen Zeliang's words, he couldn't help but ask, "Which important witness died?
A little girl named Lin Siyu used to work in the general office of the Municipal Party Committee. At that time, you were still in Mount Wang. "
Shen Zeliang was still talking, but Chen Xing had already stood up in shock. His head hit the roof of the carriage and he sat back down with a bang.
"You said that the little girl Lin Siyu is dead?" Chen Xing's eyes were full of disbelief. He remembered that during the Lunar New Year in February, Lin Siyu had sent him a text message to wish him a happy new year. Now Shen Zeliang told him that Lin Siyu was dead. One could imagine how surprised Chen Xing was.
"Well, she's dead. It's been almost half a month. During this half a month, our investigation has almost come to a standstill." Shen Zeliang smiled helplessly. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Xing had worked in Mount Wang, he wouldn't have thought of asking Ning Deyan to let Chen Xing come here.
