Zhu Huadong didn't want to argue with Chen Xing, so he changed the topic. Mayor Chen, what do you think happened to Secretary Yiping?
I'm not sure. She asked for a long-term sick leave from the organization. It must be because she really can't work anymore. Chen Xing responded calmly. He was the only one the higher-ups talked to, and they didn't explain the reason too clearly. The reason why he could guess that Zhang Yiping was involved in Lin Qing's spy case was because he saw Huang Xingrui at the Municipal Party Committee. As for the other people in the city, even if they could smell something unusual, they wouldn't be able to guess the real reason.
Since there is something wrong with Secretary Yiping's body, as colleagues, shouldn't we go and visit her? Zhu Huadong glanced at Chen Xing without batting an eyelid.
Didn't you hear what Minister Zong Ming said at the meeting? Secretary Yiping asked him to tell us not to go and visit her. Our greatest concern for her is to focus on our work. Chen Xing smiled faintly.
Although that's true, if we don't go and visit her, it's not humane at all. Zhu Huadong smiled.
Secretary Yiping might not be in the city now. Maybe she went to the capital to recuperate. Chen Xing shook his head.
Oh? Did Mayor Chen know something? Zhu Huadong stared at Chen Xing.
How would I know anything? I just said it casually. Comrade Huadong, Secretary Yiping can't come to work. As the main leaders of the city, we have to stick to our posts and restrain our subordinates. Otherwise, if everyone swarmed to visit Secretary Yiping, what would that look like? Wouldn't they let her have a good rest? Chen Xing said seriously.
Mayor Chen was right. Zhu Huadong nodded.
Well, I'll go back first. Comrade Huadong, I hope we can cooperate sincerely during this time and do a good job together. Chen Xing looked at Zhu Huadong again, then got in the car and left.
As he watched Chen Xing leave, Zhu Huadong cursed Chen Xing for being hypocritical.
Cursing aside, Zhu Huadong pondered over the look on Chen Xing's face when he mentioned Zhang Yiping just now. He was deep in thought. "If I'm not mistaken, Chen Xing knows something. Maybe the superiors have already told Chen Xing."
Zhu Huadong shook his head in the end. Zhang Yiping's case was too strange. The only possibility he could think of now was that Zhang Yiping was suspected of violating the rules and was already in trouble.
Jiang City Hotel. Ever since Zhang Ran's mother was transferred to Jiang City, she had been living in a luxurious suite in the hotel. Thanks to her mother's identity, Zhang Ran almost didn't have to spend her own money to stay in the hotel. Many people were willing to line up to pay for her room.
Zhang Ran didn't know what had happened at her parents' house last night. She didn't know that her mother had taken a long-term sick leave until someone called her after the meeting in the city. The work of the Municipal Party Committee was presided over by Chen Xing.
Hearing this news, Zhang Ran was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. When did his mother get sick? Even her biological daughter didn't know about it? Wasn't this an international joke?
Zhang Ran knew that the person who called her also wanted to test the situation. On the phone, Zhang Ran casually said a few words and hung up. Then she dialed her mother's number anxiously.
She couldn't get through to her mother's phone, and the same was true for her father's phone. Zhang Ran was really anxious now. No matter how stupid she was, she realized that something serious might have happened.
Zhang Ran didn't stay in the hotel for long. She immediately drove home. If she couldn't even find her parents' house, Zhang Ran really didn't know where to find them.
In the community, Zhang Ran went upstairs. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she felt that something was wrong. There were two people guarding outside her mother's house, and both of them were strangers.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Ran strode forward. It was still broad daylight, so Zhang Ran had nothing to be afraid of.
The two people guarding the door didn't respond. They were both from the National Security Department. They were only responsible for guarding here and forbade anyone from going in to contact Zhang Yiping. They were waiting for further instructions from the superiors.
"Get out of the way. I want to go in. This is my house. Why are you blocking the door?" Zhang Ran scolded.
Zhang Ran's words made the two people from the National Security Department slightly surprised. They looked at Zhang Ran, and one of them said, "You can't go in."
"Why can't I go in my own house?" Zhang Ran glared.
"No one can go in without the approval of the leader." The person at the door replied stiffly.
"Which leader? I'll call him." Zhang Ran said aggressively. At this time, the arrogance in her bones hadn't changed at all.
The other party didn't respond to Zhang Ran anymore. He just closed his mouth and treated Zhang Ran as air.
The movement outside also attracted the attention of Zhang Yiping and Zhang Guoli in the house. There were also four people from the National Security Department guarding the house, two men and two women. They were responsible for monitoring Zhang Yiping and Zhang Guoli 24 hours a day.
Zhang Yiping opened the inner door and saw her daughter standing outside.
"Mom, what's going on? Why did I hear that you are sick and can't work?" As soon as Zhang Ran saw her mother, she immediately asked anxiously. She had guessed other possibilities, but Zhang Ran instinctively didn't want to think about it. Deep in her heart, Zhang Ran deliberately avoided it.
Zhang Yiping looked at her daughter with her mouth slightly open. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. She had taken care of everything for her daughter since she was a child. Whether it was her life, her studies, or even her friends, Zhang Yiping would screen and check on her daughter. She had always believed that her daughter could only live and grow up according to her own requirements. That was the right way for her daughter to be outstanding and become a superior person in the future. So even if she took care of her daughter's marriage, she stubbornly believed that everything she did was for her daughter's own good. She stubbornly believed that everything she did was for her daughter's good and that she wanted her daughter to enjoy a superior life. Even if she had arranged her daughter's marriage out of selfishness, to a large extent for her own future, she always thought it was for her daughter's good.
Now, in the face of today's situation, Zhang Yiping was at a loss for the first time. She insisted that she was "good" for her daughter, but did she really make her daughter happy?
Zhang Yiping knew better than anyone that her daughter's life would be difficult in the future since she and her husband had an accident. Although Zhang Yiping didn't ask about what her daughter had done outside in the past few years, she might have known about it. This time, if it was only her and her husband who had an accident, it would be fine. But if her daughter was also investigated … Zhang Yiping didn't dare to think further. The original sin of greed had caused their family's situation today. Now, who could they blame?
After a long time, Zhang Yiping opened her mouth with difficulty. "Ran Ran, you go back first. I have something to do recently."
