Chen Xing stared at Zhu Huadong. Chen Xing saw the changes in Zhu Huadong's face. It only took a short while, from the confusion on his face to the sudden change of expression.
Zhu Huadong finished reading the information in his hand with a gloomy face. He didn't fly into a rage as Chen Xing expected. Instead, he stared at Chen Xing. Mayor Chen, what do you mean?
Secretary Huadong, if someone reported your son with this information, how many years do you think your son will spend in prison? Hmm, it seems not only your son. When the time comes, as long as we follow the clues, Secretary Huadong will not be spared. I heard that Secretary Huadong used to like playing mahjong? Chen Xing looked at Zhu Huadong calmly.
Mayor Chen, what do you mean? Zhu Huadong's eyes were cold as he repeated this sentence.
I just want you to do something for me, Comrade Hua Dong. Chen Xing smiled.
What is it? Zhu Huadong's pupils contracted.
Thousands of li away in the Southern Continent, tonight was another rainy day. Thick clouds obscured the brilliance of the starry sky. Several days of rainy weather in a row made the streets wet, but it also cooled down the hot autumn tiger by quite a bit. These past few days, the weather in the Southern Continent was much cooler, no longer as dry and stuffy as it was in the past.
The weather was cool. Some people felt comfortable, but others were tired of the wet roads.
Zhu Ziqing's mood was like the thick dark clouds in the sky, covered with a layer of gray. His father was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but it didn't go as smoothly as he expected. On the contrary, things took a turn for the worse. Zhu Ziqing thought he was only assisting in the investigation and the information he got was not a big problem. However, his father was further detained. Strangely, the case was also transferred from the Commission for Discipline Inspection to the Municipal Procuratorate.
Tonight, Zhu Ziqing and Deng Erming went to a club together. The person they were going to meet was a director of the Municipal Procuratorate. Deng Erming made an appointment with him through his friend. Because it was related to his father, Zhu Ziqing decided to come in person.
His daughter was taken care of by his mother at home. His mother, Ouyang Xuerong, wanted to come but was stopped by Zhu Ziqing. With Ouyang Xuerong's personality, she wouldn't be of much help. Instead, she would be more easily manipulated because of nervousness and anxiety, so Zhu Ziqing told her mother to stay at home and wait for her news.
Zhu Ziqing and Deng Erming arrived more than ten minutes earlier, but the other party had not arrived yet. Only Zhu Ziqing and Deng Erming were in the room. Zhu Ziqing came over with light makeup, out of respect for the guests. Otherwise, she, who had been staying at home to take care of the children for the past few years, would mostly be bare-faced. But even without makeup, Zhu Ziqing still looked elegant and refined.
"Ziqing, what do you think about me being Nian's godfather?" "Ziqing, Xing" You said, "Ziqing," You, "I" an "to say. Before the director of the Procuratorate arrived, Deng Erming mentioned the old matter to Zhu Ziqing again. He had already complained about this matter several times.
"Xing" said, "Zhu" Zhu, "Zhu" in, "Zhu" Chen, "I," Zhu "Zhu" Zhu Ziqing smiled sweetly.
"Tsk, alright, alright, I'll treat it as a big deal. I've already mentioned it so many times, and we're not strangers. You can just say yes. I've already prepared a generous gift, and I'm just waiting for you to agree so that I can give my goddaughter a greeting gift. Deng Erming smacked his lips.
Oh, what kind of gift? Zhu Ziqing blinked and glanced at Deng Erming.
A duplex apartment in Huafu Tiancheng. What do you think? This gift is generous enough, right? It's worthy of my future goddaughter, right? Deng Erming smiled.
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Ziqing's eyes. Huafu Tiancheng was a high-end building that was being built in the city center. It was not yet completed, and it was considered the new benchmark for high-end buildings in the city. The prices started from forty to fifty thousand. Zhu Ziqing had gone to the sales department with her mother to look at the houses. Because they were all targeting high-end customers, the smallest apartment was more than 150 square meters, and the duplex apartments started from 200 square meters. A duplex apartment in Huafu Tiancheng was equivalent to nearly ten million in real money. Deng Erming's gift was indeed big enough.
"Brother Deng, I remember that you used to be a miser. Why did you suddenly become so generous?" Zhu Ziqing looked at Deng Erming with a smile.
"Ziqing, what are you talking about? When am I a miser?" Deng Erming glared at Zhu Ziqing, but when he saw Zhu Ziqing's watery eyes, he immediately gave up. Zhu Ziqing's eyes were too charming, and Deng Erming couldn't stand Zhu Ziqing looking at him like this. He laughed dryly and said, "Whether I'm stingy depends on the situation. Ziqing, let's not talk about our friendship, but my gift for my adopted daughter can't be too shabby. Besides, I only have one son, and I really wanted to have a daughter before. Unfortunately, my wife's belly is not good enough, and now she is old, so I don't want to think about it. So if I can have a adopted daughter, it will also satisfy my wish, and the gift must not be shabby."
When Zhu Ziqing heard Deng Erming's words, she looked at Deng Erming with a faint smile. She really didn't believe Deng Erming's words. It was true that Deng Erming only had one son, but he was willing to take out such a big gift for his adopted daughter. Zhu Ziqing didn't want to believe that the reason was as simple as Deng Erming said. Although Deng Erming was rich, money didn't grow on trees. Ten million was not a huge amount of money for Deng Erming, but it was not Deng Erming's style to throw it out as a gift for his adopted daughter.
"Brother Deng, if you are willing to tell me the truth, I promise to be my daughter's godfather." Zhu Ziqing suddenly smiled.
"What truth?" Deng Erming was stunned.
"Why do you want to be my daughter's godfather so enthusiastically?" Zhu Ziqing looked at Deng Erming with burning eyes.
"Ah?" Deng Erming was obviously stunned and couldn't say a word. After a long time, Deng Erming smiled and said, "Ziqing, what I just said is the truth. Why do you want the truth? Look at your words, I'm dumbfounded. "
Zhu Ziqing smiled and shook her head. She wasn't so easy to fool. Deng Erming's expression just now had betrayed him. She didn't believe that Deng Erming was telling the truth.
While the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door. Deng Erming got up to open the door. When he saw who it was, the smile on Deng Erming's face suddenly brightened. "Oh, Director Guan is here. Please come in."
The person who came was Director Guan Mingyan of the Investigation Supervision Department of the Procuratorate. The name sounded like a woman, but in fact, it was a man. He wore a pair of glasses, had fair skin, and looked very gentle.
When Zhu Ziqing saw him, she also got up to welcome him. She didn't know him. This time, she invited him through Deng Erming's friend.
