Li Haocheng did not make a sound for a long time. The arm that was holding the phone had unconsciously drooped down. He was in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking. It was as if his body had no strength to support itself and would collapse at any time. One could imagine how much of an impact this news had on Li Haocheng.
Mayor Li, are you still there? The voice on the other end of the phone rang again.
After calling out like this two or three times, Li Haocheng seemed to have moved. His arm moved slightly, and Li Haocheng's somewhat unfocused pupils finally focused again. He raised his hand and put the phone back to his ear. Li Haocheng took a deep breath. His forehead had unknowingly seeped out a fine bead of sweat. His face, under the illumination of the light, appeared even paler. Why did they suddenly file a case to investigate me? Who made this decision?
I'm not sure about that. The case was brought up by Secretary Tan himself, so it's highly likely that he was the one who made the decision. He's the only one in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection who can make such a big case. As for whether there's someone higher up, I don't know. The person on the other end of the phone shook his head. By the way, this morning, Chen Xing came to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. I saw him enter Secretary Tan's office. I don't know if this investigation is directly related to Chen Xing. I think that small diary was given to Secretary Tan by him. Of course, this is just my guess.
Chen Xing? When Li Haocheng heard this name, his pale face became a little gloomy. What was recorded in that small diary? Did you have a chance to see it?
Sorry, I can't know the content. The person on the other end of the phone said indifferently. Mayor Li, if there is nothing else, I will hang up first. Although he said so, before Li Haocheng could say anything, the phone had been hung up.
The corner of Li Haocheng's mouth twitched. He had no strength to care about the behavior of the person on the other end of the phone. The fact that the person was willing to call him in this situation was already very generous. As for the intentional distance between them, Li Haocheng could understand. Being investigated by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it could be said that he had half a foot in the door of hell.
Different from before, now people avoided him like snakes and scorpions. At this moment, Li Haocheng looked as if he had lost his parents. His mouth moved, but no sound came out. From the shape of his mouth, one could vaguely see that the words he was muttering were related to Chen Xing. Undoubtedly, Li Haocheng would not say anything good about Chen Xing. At this moment, no words could express his anger. He wanted to smash Chen Xing into pieces.
"Chen Xing, you are so cruel. We are only competitors, but you want to kill me." Li Haocheng's teeth were almost broken. He did not realize that he had done anything wrong. Instead, he only thought that Chen Xing wanted to deal with him in a despicable way. He did not think about how many problems he had. As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. His own problems gave others a chance.
After standing there for a long time, the rain outside the window floated in the wind. A gust of cold wind blew, and Li Haocheng shivered. His back was covered with sweat. It was raining outside, and he was sweating.
This gust of cold wind seemed to blow Li Haocheng awake. His face was no longer as pale as before, but there was still no color. At this moment, Li Haocheng had calmed down a lot. Although his heart was still filled with fear, at least his brain could think normally. After going through the events of the past few days in detail, Li Haocheng's face became more and more unsightly.
Still holding the phone in his hand, Li Haocheng dialed a number. His expression was very complicated. There was hatred, confusion, and even a hint of pain and unwillingness.
Nanzhou City First Hospital. Only Yan Jun accompanied Lin Hong in the ward. From beginning to end, Lin Hong's family did not appear, because Lin Hong did not inform them. Even the taciturn Yan Jun wanted to ask this question many times, but thinking that it was none of his business, he did not ask. Lin Hong seemed to specially tease him for fun, often making him blush.
Xiao Yan, I plan on leaving the hospital tomorrow. What do you think? The smile on Lin Hong's face was very charming. She had just teased Yan Jun with a few sentences about a joke between a man and a woman. She had also teased Yan Jun a few sentences, but Yan Jun's face was as red as a child's, to the point that Lin Hong laughed heartily and said that he couldn't be a virgin and didn't know anything, right? Yan Jun was so stunned that he almost rushed out the door. Lin Hong immediately laughed heartily, laughed until tears flowed out. No one knew that Lin Hong's smile was a happy and blissful one. Yan Jun, who was already twenty-five or twenty-six years old, was actually like a blank sheet of paper when it came to relationships between men and women.
Lin Hong was overjoyed in her heart. She thought that she had picked up a treasure, but right now, it was only her who had a good impression of the other party. Yan Jun was completely unaware. As for whether or not Yan Jun would like her, Lin Hong had no idea at all. Although she had a beautiful face and even more wealth that an ordinary person could not spend in ten lifetimes, Lin Hong's heart was actually filled with worry and worry. Just like a little girl who had a crush on her for the first time, Lin Hong was excited, shy, and even more afraid of being rejected. Right now, Lin Hong had the idea of leaving the hospital early. Subconsciously, she had to ask for Yan Jun's opinion before making a decision.
Miss Lin, if you don't want to be left with any lingering illness, it's better to stay in the hospital. Yan Jun did not know what Lin Hong was thinking. When he heard Lin Hong's words, he, who had been blushing because of Yan Jun's teasing, instantly restored his cold expression. As if he felt that his tone was a little harsh, Yan Jun's tone softened a lot and he explained again. Miss Lin, I myself am a specialist in injuries. Ever since I served in the army until I became a bodyguard, I don't know how many injuries I have suffered. Some injuries, if not treated in time or thoroughly, will leave a lingering illness. When I'm young, I might not be able to see anything, but once I'm old, I'm the one suffering. The chief of the army that I was in at that time was promoted because of his meritorious service in the Vietnam War. He had also suffered a gunshot wound in his chest. Although he was saved at that time, he did not recover and was in a hurry to go to the frontline. In the end, he was left with a lingering illness. Now, his chest hurts faintly every day. Sometimes, the pain is severe and he has to take painkillers.
Xiao Yan, don't scare me. Lin Hong opened her mouth in surprise.
Miss Lin, I have no need to lie to you. You are my employer, and the customer is God. Do you think there is a need for me to lie to you? Yan Jun shook his head. What he said was not made up to prevent Lin Hong from leaving the hospital. It was the truth.
Xiao Yan, our relationship is only that of an employer and employee, right? I don't know who was the one who said that it was my husband's when the family member was signing the autograph. Hmph, you took advantage of me so much, and you still have the cheek to say that now. Lin Hong stared at Yan Jun with a beautiful face. Unfortunately, Yan Jun did not dare to look at Lin Hong at all. He only smiled awkwardly and said that it was necessary at that time.
I don't care if it was necessary or not. Since you took advantage of me, it won't be so easy to forgive you. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me? Lin Hong said unreasonably.
Miss Lin, you are purely making trouble out of nothing. Yan Jun smiled bitterly.
Don't you know that women are all unreasonable? If you haven't seen it before, I will let you see it now. Lin Hong said proudly. Be careful, I will complain to your company that your service is not up to standard.
Miss Lin, please don't. If you complain, my salary will be deducted. I really need money. Yan Jun said anxiously. He could not tell if Lin Hong was joking or serious.
You really need money? Lin Hong was stunned and looked at Yan Jun doubtfully. Is the salary of a bodyguard very low? Since you are one of the most outstanding bodyguards in your company, your salary should not be low, right?
The salary is not low, but I really need money. Yan Jun shook his head. In this day and age, no one would complain about having more money.
That's true. Lin Hong smiled and looked at Yan Jun deeply. She did not continue asking. These two days, she was busy making fun of Yan Jun. She had more or less learned about Yan Jun's personal situation. However, she had neglected one thing. She did not ask about Yan Jun's family situation. Perhaps his family is very poor. Lin Hong thought. She already had a plan, but she did not tell Yan Jun.
Alright, I was just joking. Look at how scared you are. I thought you are not afraid of anything. Lin Hong smiled and glanced at Yan Jun. Xiao Yan, the contract I signed with your company is for a month. After this month, we will have to part ways. Do you think you will miss your sister?
Miss Lin, you are here again. Yan Jun smiled unnaturally. His face was not as red as before. These two days, Lin Hong often teased him with such words. His resistance seemed to have increased a lot.
Alright, then I will not talk about this. Lin Hong rolled her eyes and said, "Little Yan, how about this, you resign from your company and become my personal bodyguard. I'll hire you for the rest of your life, what do you think? And I guarantee that you won't lose your job. Think about it, you'll face the danger of losing your job if you stay at your company. Besides, being a bodyguard is a youthful job. You can do it when you're young, but when you're older, even if you can still do it, your company may not want you."
Miss Lin, I will be taking advantage of you. I can't do that. Like you said, being a bodyguard is a job for youth. Old people definitely can't do it. If you really hire me for a lifetime, I will not be able to protect your safety when I am old. I will also take your money for free. I can't do that. Yan Jun said seriously.
Aiya, you … you are really a fool. Lin Hong was so angry that he almost jumped up from the bed.
The phone on the bedside suddenly rang. Lin Hong turned his head. His pretty face, which was angry and smiling just now, suddenly changed. Lin Hong controlled his emotions and said to Yan Jun with a smile, Xiao Yan, I suddenly feel hungry. I want to eat wonton. Go and buy some for me.
Okay. Yan Jun nodded without hesitation. Just as he stood up, he hesitated and said, But here?
Don't worry, this is the hospital. It is not unsafe. Do you think someone will come to harm me? Now the police are hunting that killer all over the world. Do you think he will dare to appear? Besides, didn't Mayor Chen say that there are plainclothes policemen outside? Don't worry. The policemen outside are not useless. Lin Hong said with a smile.
Yan Jun nodded. He had noticed that there were two plainclothes policemen in the corridor. They had been there since Lin Hong was sent to the ward. They had not left until now. It seemed that they were also protecting Lin Hong's safety. Yan Jun did not say anything more and went out to buy something for Lin Hong.
Seeing Yan Jun go out, Lin Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the number, Lin Hong patted his chest and calmed his emotions. When he picked up the phone, Lin Hong's voice had become normal. Brother Haocheng, why did you call me again? I thought you were happy abroad …
Why? Lin Hong's voice was abruptly interrupted.
Why? Brother Haocheng, what are you talking about? Lin Hong's face, which had deliberately squeezed out a smile just now, also darkened.
Little Hong, tell me, how have I treated you all these years? There was a kind of silent anger in Li Haocheng's voice.
Of course, Brother Haocheng treated me very well, even better than my own parents. Lin Hong said the words that he often said in the past. At this time, when he said them again, he actually felt sick in his heart. Brother Haocheng, why did you suddenly say this out of nowhere?
Nothing. I heard that you were injured by a gunshot? Li Haocheng suddenly changed the topic.
Well, I was injured by a mysterious gunman yesterday. I thought I was going to meet the King of Hell. I didn't expect that I could survive. Brother Haocheng, why did you call me now to care about me? I thought you were having too much fun abroad and forgot about me. Lin Hong said coquettishly. It was not too much to give her the award of Movie Queen.
I was investigating abroad, not having fun. Li Haocheng's cheeks twitched a few times. Lin Hong's words at this moment made him have a kind of unspeakable anger, but he could only bear it. You saw Chen Xing yesterday?
Lin Hong was stunned at once. After a moment of silence, Lin Hong's tone also changed a lot. Yes, I saw Chen Xing. I didn't expect Brother Haocheng to be so well-informed that he could know what was happening in China at any time when he was abroad.
Why did you see him? Li Haocheng ignored Lin Hong's words and asked coldly.
Nothing much. We just had a meal together.
A meal? When did you get along with him so well that you even had a meal together? Li Haocheng sneered.
Who said that people who didn't get along with each other couldn't have a meal together? Lin Hong's voice also became cold. It had come to this point. It didn't matter if they just fell out. There was no need to pretend with Li Haocheng.
Good, good. Li Haocheng was so angry that he almost couldn't speak, but he didn't mention the small diary. If it was really given to Chen Xing by Lin Hong, then if he mentioned it now, it would only be passed to Chen Xing's ears. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had just opened a case to investigate him. If he knew the news, it would undoubtedly hurt the person who informed him. This was also the reason why Li Haocheng suddenly changed the topic just now.
You called me today just to ask about this? At this time, Lin Hong asked back. The first sentence that Li Haocheng said just now made Lin Hong suspicious.
Yes, someone saw you with Chen Xing, so I wanted to ask about it. I hope you didn't cheat on him behind my back. Li Haocheng deliberately tried to confuse them. Just now, he was angry and wanted to call to question Li Haocheng, but there was nothing wrong with his brain. He also knew that he should restrain himself. Some words couldn't be said at this time.
Of course, for the past ten years, Brother Haocheng has treated me well. I remember it little by little. I can be who I am today because of you, Brother Haocheng. Lin Hong said word by word. Her words were also full of complicated feelings. Her happiness and misfortune were all brought by Li Haocheng.
Li Haocheng listened to Lin Hong's words quietly. It seemed that he could feel the complicated feelings in Lin Hong's words. Li Haocheng was about to say something when someone opened the door and came in. Li Haocheng immediately hung up the phone.
The person who came in was Lin Qing. Li Haocheng knew it without looking back. He turned around and looked at Lin Qing. Li Haocheng's expression had returned to normal. He smiled at Lin Qing. Little Qing, can you do me a favor?
When did Brother Haocheng become so polite? Just tell me what you want me to do. Lin Qing said with a smile.
I want to get a green card in America in a short time. Can you do me a favor? Li Haocheng said directly. Normally, it was not very difficult for him to find connections to get a green card. But now the situation was special. Li Haocheng had to ask for help from outside.
It was too difficult to get a green card, but he was afraid that it would take time. Lin Qing was in a bit of a dilemma.
Little Qing, I believe that your group has the ability. You are one of the biggest companies in America. Even the Immigration Bureau has to give you face. Li Haocheng said.
Okay, I'll try my best. Lin Qing nodded and looked at Li Haocheng calmly. Lin Qing said with a smile, "Why is Brother Haocheng so anxious to get a green card all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing. Anyway, it might come in handy in the future." Li Haocheng said with a smile.
"Really? But you don't have to be so anxious. With your identity and status, it's not difficult to get a green card yourself." Lin Qing curled up the corner of her mouth.
"That's too slow. I want to get one as soon as possible. The shorter the time, the better. It's best to do it in these few days."
