That night, the Nanzhou Civil Affairs Bureau hosted a banquet for the foundation. Chen Xing attended the banquet. At the banquet, Chen Xing made a symbolic speech, thanking the foundation for its concern and help to the charity work of Nanzhou City.
During the banquet, Chen Xing received a phone call. After frowning, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning said goodbye and left the banquet. Coming out of the hotel, Chen Xing got in the car and went straight to Lin Hong's club. Lin Hong was already waiting in the club's private room. When Chen Xing came over, Lin Hong smiled and stood up to welcome him. From the sound of it, Mayor Chen, you seem to be entertaining people? My phone call didn't disturb your banquet, right?
That's not important. What's important is that you said you have something important to do. Miss Lin, you're not deceiving me again, are you? Chen Xing walked straight to a chair and sat down. Originally, he was having dinner with Zhang Ningning, so Chen Xing didn't plan to come over. After hearing what Lin Hong said, Chen Xing didn't know whether it was true or not. Now that Zheng Guangfu's case was at a critical juncture, Chen Xing thought about it and came over. Maybe he really had something important to do.
I thought it was important, but I was afraid that Mayor Chen didn't think it was a big deal. Lin Hong shook his head with a smile and walked to the window. Lin Hong opened the curtains and looked down. He looked carefully downstairs. When he didn't find anything unusual, Lin Hong put down the curtains and walked back, sitting next to Chen Xing.
Why, Miss Lin, are you afraid that someone is following me? Chen Xing saw Lin Hong's action and looked at her in confusion.
That's right, I'm worried that someone is following Mayor Chen, but it seems that I'm worrying too much. When Mayor Chen's car arrived, I've been watching from upstairs and didn't see any suspicious cars behind. But these days, because of Zheng Guangfu's case, I've specially hired a bodyguard for myself. These two days, when he was driving me, the bodyguard said he felt that someone was following him. Although he couldn't find the traces of the person, his intuition wouldn't be wrong, so I suspect that I'm being followed. Lin Hong said.
Is the so-called professional bodyguard you hired reliable? Nowadays, there were a lot of bodyguard companies whose employees were uneven. Some people with the title of professional bodyguard were likely to only have superficial skills, and some did not even have professional training. Chen Xing disagreed with Lin Hong's words. Now that Zheng Guangfu was dead and Zhang Qingyang and the others had been taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, who would keep an eye on Lin Hong?
The one I hired probably wouldn't do that. It's the largest professional bodyguard company in the province. I specially asked for their company's trump card, which costs tens of thousands of yuan a month. If the other party dares to lie to me about this, how can they do business in the future? Lin Hong retorted.
That's strange. Who would follow you? Chen Xing still didn't quite believe Lin Hong's words. He laughed and said, "Since your so-called professional bodyguard is so powerful and the trump card of your company, he can't be sure that someone is following you. I don't think it's reliable."
"No, I don't think so. It's because even he can't be sure that someone is following me that I'm even more worried. I'm thinking, does the person following me have more professional training? If that's the case, who sent him to follow me? " Lin Hong said seriously. Chen Xing didn't believe her words, but she was very serious.
"Miss Lin, I think you've been too nervous recently." Chen Xing smiled helplessly. "Is this the urgent matter you mentioned on the phone?"
"Yes, this is what I want to talk to you about. We're in the same boat now. If someone is following me, will it be harmful to you?" I don't dare to be careless about this kind of thing, so I think it's necessary to tell you. " Lin Hong said seriously.
Hearing what Lin Hong said, Chen Xing couldn't help but be stunned. Lin Hong was right. The two of them were in the same boat now. The reason why he came over was that he considered whether Lin Hong really had an urgent matter. After all, the two of them were now in a cooperative relationship. But if what Lin Hong said was true and someone was following her, who could it be? "It doesn't make sense. Zheng Guangfu is dead, and Zhang Qingyang is also in trouble. Who would pay attention to Lin Hong?"
"Mayor Chen, do you think what I said is child's play?" Seeing that Chen Xing didn't say anything, Lin Hong thought that Chen Xing didn't believe her words at all.
"That's not it. Miss Lin said it so seriously. Of course, I won't laugh at it. I just can't think of anyone else who would follow Miss Lin." Chen Xing expressed his doubts.
"I don't know who it is. That's scary. An unknown enemy is the most frightening thing." Lin Hong and Chen Xing looked at each other. She didn't even have the mood to flirt with Chen Xing. These days, her mood had been fluctuating along with the development of the case. When she heard that Zhang Qingyang and Huang Shenghui were in trouble, Lin Hong was so happy that she jumped up. But later, when she heard from Chen Xing that it wasn't Chen Xing's plan, Lin Hong's mood fell to the bottom of the valley.
What you've said is based on the assumption that someone is following you. If we assume that there's no such thing, we're overthinking. Chen Xing said to Lin Hong.
I knew Mayor Chen didn't want to believe it. In fact, I didn't want to believe it, either. However, the bodyguard I hired was very convincing. He said that the person following us must be an expert. Even he couldn't catch the tail of that person. However, with his many years of experience and intuition, he felt that someone was following us. Lin Hong recalled the bodyguard's solemn face. At first, she thought it was funny. But now, she was skeptical. Moreover, it was a sensitive period. Lin Hong became more and more suspicious.
Your bodyguard's words were contradictory. One moment, he felt that someone was following us. The next moment, he said that he was sure. Chen Xing smiled. He almost said that the bodyguard's words weren't reliable.
Mayor Chen, I think that this kind of thing can only be believed. We should be more vigilant. If something unexpected really happens, we can at least be prepared, right? Lin Hong knew that she didn't have any evidence. It was hard to convince Chen Xing, so she didn't force him. She just said tactfully.
Her words were reasonable. Chen Xing nodded in agreement.
By the way, is there any news about Zhang Qingyang and the others being taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? Lin Hong asked about Zhang Qingyang with concern.
This matter was handled directly by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. They only informed the senior officials of our local government. It's impossible for the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to disclose the details of the case. Even I don't know why the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection suddenly arrested people or what evidence they had. I thought that the thing you gave me could be used as a trump card to deal with Zhang Qingyang. However, my plan couldn't keep up with the changes. I didn't expect that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would take action. Although it disrupted my original plan, it didn't do any harm. Chen Xing said.
Really. Lin Hong looked disappointed. Then, she looked at Chen Xing with worry. Mayor Chen, do you think I'll be involved in Zhang Qingyang being taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?
It's hard for me to answer you now. Chen Xing glanced at Lin Hong. He knew Lin Hong's worries. However, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had blocked the news very strictly. He couldn't get any information. Moreover, the more thorough the investigation of Zhang Qingyang's case was, the better it would be for him. Chen Xing didn't care about it at all.
Mayor Chen, you said before that Zhang Qingyang should be the last to take action and that this matter should be under your control. You also promised me that you would let bygones be bygones as long as I'm involved in Zhang Qingyang and Zheng Guangfu's cases. Now the situation has changed. Is your promise still valid? Lin Hong looked at Chen Xing closely.
I'll try my best, but there are some uncontrollable factors at the moment, so I can't guarantee anything. Chen Xing frowned. Zheng Guangfu's case was still under his control, but the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection suddenly intervened in Zhang Qingyang's case, which disrupted his original plan. Chen Xing didn't dare to guarantee anything to Lin Hong now. The evidence he obtained from Lin Hong about Zhang Qingyang and Zheng Guangfu was indeed a promise he made to Lin Hong.
Chen Xing and Lin Hong were talking in a box on the top floor of the clubhouse. Under an office building opposite the clubhouse, a man with black sunglasses covering half of his face was sitting leisurely under a big tree in front of the office building. He looked in the direction of the clubhouse from time to time. The man's eyes occasionally swept over a car in the parking lot not far away, and a playful smile flashed across the corners of his mouth. That car was doing the same thing as him, which was following Lin Hong's car. Unfortunately, the other party's skills were far worse than his. He didn't know whether Lin Hong had noticed it or not, but as soon as the other party appeared yesterday, he had noticed it. He had even followed the other party and roughly figured out the other party's details, but the other party didn't notice it at all.
Suddenly, the man walked forward in the direction of the car. He stopped in front of the car and knocked on the window. A middle-aged man in the passenger seat of the car looked out curiously. When he saw the man wearing a pair of sunglasses, the middle-aged man suddenly became alert. He opened the window a little and was about to ask what was going on. Suddenly, the man in sunglasses took out a gun from his arms and fired two shots at him. The bullets almost entered through the gap of the window, brushed past the middle-aged man's cheek, and shot into the glass on the other side.
The two consecutive harsh gunshots caused a burst of screams nearby. Some passersby were so scared that they covered their heads and squatted on the ground, but the man in sunglasses left calmly.
