"What happened?" Chen Xing frowned. "It doesn't matter whether the injury is serious or not."
He wasn't seriously injured, but he couldn't swallow the fact that he was beaten up for no reason at all. Lu Xiaojing said angrily.
"It's good that he is fine. Which hospital are you in? I'll go there now." Chen Xing asked.
"We are in the emergency department of the First Hospital."
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
As soon as Chen Xing hung up the phone, Jiang Wan immediately asked with concern, "What happened? Who was injured?"
"It's Huang Ming. Do you remember him?" Chen Xing said.
"How can I not remember him? It's not that I don't know him. I think you have a bad memory after drinking." Jiang Wan sat up. "How did he get injured? Is he okay?"
"It's not a big deal, but I still have to go to the hospital." Chen Xing stopped flirting with Jiang Wan. Otherwise, he would not be able to control himself.
"Chen Xing, can I go with you? I have met Huang Ming several times, and we are from the same hometown. I should go to see him since he is injured." Jiang Wan said, looking at Chen Xing with some hope. After they had a relationship, she was more or less worried that Chen Xing did not want her to appear in front of others with him.
"If you want to go, let's go together. Look at you, it seems that I have said that I won't let you go." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Then I'll go and change my clothes quickly." Jiang Wan was very happy. She stood up from the sofa and hurriedly took her clothes into the bathroom, not forgetting to close the door.
After Jiang Wan changed her clothes, the two of them went to the hospital together. Huang Ming was being examined in the emergency department. His injuries were all superficial wounds, but the hospital recommended that he stay in the hospital for two days and have a full body examination. Huang Ming didn't refuse. His health was more important. Although he felt that he was fine, he didn't want to be stubborn. It was better to have a more detailed examination to prevent any sequelae. He had suffered a lot of punches and kicks tonight. Six or seven men rushed up to him and punched and kicked him. He was stunned and only knew to hold his head in defense. Fortunately, he didn't fight back. Otherwise, Huang Ming guessed that it wouldn't be as simple as just superficial wounds.
When those men left, Huang Ming got up from the ground. He clearly saw that two of them still had watermelon knives of 20 or 30 centimeters in their arms. Under the reflection of the roadside lights, the knives were dazzling. This also made Huang Ming secretly rejoice. It did not matter if he was beaten, but if he was cut a few times, he would be fine.
In the hospital, only Lu Xiaojing accompanied Huang Ming. When they saw that Chen Xing came with Jiang Wan, they were a little surprised. However, at this moment, Lu Xiaojing was still angry and did not think much about it. When she saw Chen Xing coming, Lu Xiaojing greeted him. Although she did not say much, her eyes were extraordinarily clear. She wanted Chen Xing to make the decision.
Nodding slightly to Lu Xiaojing, Chen Xing walked to Huang Ming. Seeing that Huang Ming only had some wounds on his head and arms, which were bandaged with cotton cloth, but he looked good, Chen Xing was relieved. He pulled a chair and sat down. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are injured. What happened?
Ah, don't mention it. I was beaten without knowing why. I still don't know what happened. I can't figure out who did it. There is no reason. Huang Ming smiled bitterly.
You don't know who did it? Chen Xing looked surprised.
That's right. That's why I was beaten unjustly. Speaking of this, Huang Ming's face turned green. Anyone who had been beaten up in such a muddle-headed manner like him wouldn't have a good expression on their face.
Did you call the police? Chen Xing also frowned slightly. Even Huang Ming himself did not know what happened. This was really strange.
I called the police. He said that he would come later. I didn't want to bother you, but Xiaojing insisted on calling you. Huang Ming said helplessly. Lu Ming was now the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. It was enough to call Lu Ming. With Lu Ming's help, how could the police dare to not do their work?
There is no need for such polite words between us. Chen Xing didn't think much of it. Seeing that Jiang Wan was still standing at the side, Chen Xing suddenly remembered and said, "I was eating at Jiang Wan's restaurant just now. She heard that you were injured and wanted to come over to take a look at you.
Jiang Wan, thank you. Huang Ming nodded to Jiang Wan with a smile. After hearing what Chen Xing said, he did not think much about their relationship.
We are friends. It is natural for me to see you when you are injured. Huang Ming, you are treating me like an outsider. Jiang Wan smiled.
Chen Xing and Jiang Wan sat with Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing and chatted for a while. Lu Xiaojing's angry expression because of Huang Ming's injury was much better. She was not angry at Chen Xing, but she felt sorry for her husband who was injured for no reason.
Huang Ming, are you sure you did not offend anyone recently? Chen Xing asked again.
No, I only came back to Nanzhou for a few days after the New Year. How could I have offended anyone? I only went to Chongbei City a few times and did not offend anyone. Huang Ming shook his head.
You went to Chongbei City so diligently. It seems like you are tempted by Sha Yuanbao's proposal. Chen Xing looked at Huang Ming.
I have discussed this with Xiaojing and feel that we can give it a try. We can borrow some funds from the bank for Jin Du Hotel. When the time comes, we can also invest. Although the real estate market has passed its best period, there is still a certain investment prospect. Anyway, with a tycoon like Sha Yuanbao leading the way, it is not bad for us to follow him and drink the soup. Huang Ming nodded and said.
Huang Ming, you were beaten up in Chongbei City. It can't be because of this, right? Lu Xiaojing suddenly said.
How is that possible? The land for the Chongbei Municipal Government Guest House has not been auctioned yet. Who knows who will buy it in the end? Moreover, Sha Yuanbao is the one who initiated this matter. Even if someone wants to intimidate me, they should look for Sha Yuanbao. Why would they look for me? Who would know that I have the intention to invest with Sha Yuanbao? Huang Ming shook his head. Sha Yuanbao wanted to bid for the land for the Chongbei Municipal Government Guest House to invest in real estate. However, it is still uncertain whether he will win the bid. Huang Ming felt that it was impossible for this to be the reason.
This is impossible, that is also impossible. Old Huang, don't tell me that you were beaten up unjustly? Chen Xing said.
If I was beaten up by someone else, then I can only blame it on my bad luck. Huang Ming smiled bitterly.
As the two of them were talking, Lu Ming also arrived. He arrived a few minutes later than Chen Xing. He had to attend to a social event, which was why he was a little late. But when Huang Ming called, he said he would rush over without hesitation. His attitude was also impeccable.
Seeing Chen Xing here, Lu Ming was not surprised. Mayor Chen, you are here too.
Just arrived. Chen Xing smiled and looked at Lu Ming. Old Lu, seems like you drank a lot tonight.
Sigh, I have no choice. I have to accompany the people from the Provincial Department for a meal. Lu Ming smiled bitterly.
Chen Xing heard this and nodded. Wu Hansheng was transferred to the South China Sea. He could find a time to introduce him to Lu Ming.
Two policemen from the Public Security Bureau rushed over and recorded Huang Ming's statement. After Lu Ming deliberately instructed them, the two policemen did not dare to treat him lightly. They said that they will focus on this case when they return.
Huang Ming, have a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow. Chen Xing was about to leave after sitting for half an hour.
Chen Xing, you are busy with work. You don't have to make a special trip here. I might even be discharged tomorrow. Actually, I am fine. It's just that the doctor asked me to stay for a checkup. These days, even a small injury will cause the hospital to peel off a layer of skin. Otherwise, how can the hospital make money? Huang Ming smiled.
Old Huang, you can't say that. You seem to have external injuries, but who knows if you have internal injuries? We will know after the checkup. The doctor was right to suggest that you stay for one or two nights. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. They talked for a while before Chen Xing left the hospital.
Lu Ming said goodbye to Huang Ming and left with Chen Xing. Jiang Wan saw Lu Ming follow Chen Xing out, as if he wanted to hide her relationship with Chen Xing. She was not in a hurry to leave.
Old Lu, do you have any other clues about Zheng Guangfu and Zhang Qingyang's cases? Chen Xing asked Lu Ming while walking.
Other clues? Lu Ming frowned. I had a few trustworthy people secretly investigating this case. However, the Provincial Department closed the case. Deputy Director Jiang Jiansheng, who was in charge of the work of the Municipal Bureau, also asked us not to waste any more police on this case. I thought Deputy Director Jiang didn't want to waste more time on this case, so I asked the people around me to stop the investigation.
Oh, there should be no more clues. Chen Xing was a little disappointed.
There might be some clues in the case of Zheng Guangfu being poisoned. Lu Ming said, looking at Chen Xing in confusion. Mayor Chen, you don't want to turn this case over, do you?
It's not me. It's someone else. Chen Xing smiled. If you have any clues, no matter whether they are useful or not, you can go to Wu Hansheng and tell him that I asked you to go there. He will understand.
Director Wu? Lu Ming was shocked. Mayor Chen, do you know the new Director Wu?
I know him. Chen Xing laughed. In his heart, he thought that it was more than just knowing each other. If Lu Ming were to find out that Wu Hansheng's position as the deputy governor and the head of the provincial department was obtained through his efforts, Lu Ming's jaw would probably drop to the ground.
It seems that I have to go to the Provincial Department and visit Director Wu. Lu Ming's face was full of joy. He knew that Chen Xing wanted to help him build a bridge.
Well, I should find some time to go as soon as possible. It's always good to get to know him. Chen Xing smiled.
Chen Xing and Lu Ming stood and chatted for a while, then separated at the hospital entrance. Chen Xing looked back and didn't see Jiang Wan. He guessed that Jiang Wan might still be in the ward, so he took out his phone and sent her a text message.
Nanzhou City Procuratorate.
In a room inside the Procuratorate, Deng Jinchun sat with listless eyes. He had been arrested by the Procuratorate for some time. In the past few days, Deng Jinchun had sensed that the Procuratorate's investigators weren't really working hard on the case. He had been hoping to get lucky, so he just casually dealt with it. In his heart, he also thought that it was the result of Ceng Gaoqiang helping him outside. Although the people of the Procuratorate weren't polite to him, they didn't use any tricks. This made Deng Jinchun secretly happy. He even thought that he would be able to get out soon, and even continue to be his director.
But as time passed, Deng Jinchun had been in for more than a month. There was no news from Ceng Gaoqiang outside, as if he had been forgotten. Today, Deng Jinchun clearly felt that the Procuratorate's investigators were different from usual. The way they looked at him was completely different. He had been dealing with the people of the Procuratorate inside for more than a month. How could he not feel the change in the attitude of the people of the Procuratorate?
Sure enough, Xu Jingsen, the chief of the Prosecutor General's Major Case Section, stayed in the room all day today. He personally presided over his interrogation. He was no longer polite and asked him to answer all the questions honestly.
Deng Jinchun had been carrying it for more than ten hours since morning. He hadn't eaten lunch or dinner. Deng Jinchun's stomach was growling with hunger. What made him even more unbearable was the strong light in front of him. Although it wasn't always aimed at him, Deng Jinchun's eyes couldn't take it anymore. Compared to hunger, this made him suffer more.
With a beep, someone turned on the strong light again. Deng Jinchun had no choice but to close his eyes again. However, the dazzling light seemed to be able to penetrate his eyelids, which still made him feel uncomfortable. Deng Jinchun said weakly, "Aren't you afraid of blinding me? At that time, you won't be able to escape the responsibility.
Do you think we can make you blind? If that's the case, wouldn't we be stupider than pigs? " Xu Jingsen smiled sinisterly. Director Deng, I advise you to confess all the questions that you need to confess. Otherwise, you will suffer more. Today's things are just an appetizer. No, it should be said that it's not even an appetizer. If you want to try all the methods that we, the prosecutors, use to interrogate criminals, we don't mind letting you experience them one by one. I don't know how you feel when you operate on a patient. I think as a doctor, you must have seen a lot of corpses. If you think that you are more courageous than others, then I have nothing to say. Anyway, our prosecutor's office has a lot of methods. When the time comes, it will depend on whether you can persevere. I have seen the most strong-willed people, but they can't even handle half of it. I don't know if Director Deng will also open my eyes.
Haven't you all investigated my problems clearly? What else do you need me to explain? Deng Jinchun smiled bitterly. If he confessed, he would be lenient. If he resisted, he would be severely punished. Deng Jinchun didn't want to take the initiative to confess. He was still waiting for Ceng Gaoqiang to work for him outside. This was his only hope. If he confessed to Ceng Gaoqiang, then there would really be no hope.
Alright, it seems that Director Deng doesn't want to cooperate. Then we can only play with Director Deng. Xu Jingsen's expression was gloomy. He had been reprimanded by his boss, Cheng Rong Jiang in the morning. He was still holding back his anger. Cheng Rong Jiang gave him a week to pry open Deng Jinchun's mouth, but Xu Jingsen wanted to compete with him. He wanted to take down Deng Jinchun within three days.
Can I ask if any leader is asking about my case again? Deng Jinchun opened his eyes slightly. There was such an obvious change in the prosecutor's office's attitude. No matter how stupid Deng Jinchun was, he knew that something must have happened.
I don't know if there are any leaders asking about it. I only know that your good days are coming to an end. Xu Jingsen's tone was cold. "Dean Deng, don't think that our interrogations are as lenient as before. It turns out that we turned a blind eye and didn't want to be serious with you. Now, the situation is different. If you think that it's okay to be perfunctory like before, you'll be the one suffering."
Just as the prosecutor's office's interrogation of Deng Jinchun became more intense and more severe, in a high-end residential area in the city, Ceng Gaoqiang owned a duplex suite of more than two hundred square meters. This was a house given to him by someone, and Ceng Gaoqiang accepted it without hesitation. This house was usually used as a place for Ceng Gaoqiang to meet with all kinds of lovers. His family was not here.
At this moment, Ceng Gaoqiang was in the bathroom of the master bedroom, lying comfortably in the bathtub and being massaged by Fang Wanhua. He had just returned from a business trip and drank a lot of red wine, so he was in high spirits.
After drinking, Ceng Gaoqiang could soak in a hot bath, and there was a beautiful woman waiting on him. Ceng Gaoqiang was very happy. He enjoyed this kind of drunken and dreamy life. With power in his hands, he could almost enjoy a life that ordinary people could not enjoy in their lifetime. He felt that his life was worth it.
Fang Wanhua was worried about her husband's job, so she served him very attentively. She didn't forget to ask, "Mayor Ceng, how's my husband's work arrangement? Didn't you promise to help him get into the city management?
It's being done, what's the hurry? " Ceng Gaoqiang waved his hand impatiently.
"Mayor Ceng, my husband chases after me all day to ask about this. I can come out at night and say that I came out to accompany you to ask about this. Mayor Ceng, you have to give me an answer, or I won't be able to deal with it when I go back. My husband has long suspected our relationship, so you have to give me a reason to send him away." Fang Wanhua said coquettishly.
"Humph, I don't think your husband is suspicious. He already knows it. Do you think he dares to fart? If he dares to fart, believe it or not, I will teach him a lesson. Don't think that only Chen Xing can teach him a lesson. " Ceng Gaoqiang snorted coldly.
"Mayor Ceng, how can you say that? You stole someone else's wife, and you still want to teach him a lesson? How can you be so overbearing?" Fang Wanhua said coquettishly.
"In this day and age, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss. I have the ability to be overbearing, but does your husband have the ability? If he does, he won't be so cowardly that he doesn't dare to make a sound after being cuckolded." Ceng Gaoqiang curled his lips. In his eyes, Ma Jiang was like an ant on the ground. If he wanted to kill him, he could just lift his foot.
"He's asking you how's the arrangement for his job. Mayor Ceng, you're going further and further away." Fang Wanhua said anxiously.
"Aren't I helping him arrange it? What's the hurry?" Ceng Gaoqiang said in a bad mood. Who asked him to bump into Chen Xing's gun before? Do you think that the title of mayor is so useless that someone who was fired would dare to hire him anywhere? "I'm helping him arrange it, but it won't be that fast. Wait patiently, and I'll let you know when there's a result. You've always served me well, so how can I treat you badly? Although I don't like Ma Jiang, I still give you face.
When has he not served you wholeheartedly? " Fang Wanhua gave Ceng Gaoqiang a charming look, but the depths of her eyes were filled with helplessness. After her husband, Ma Jiang, was fired, he still didn't have a job. Fang Wanhua actually wanted her husband to go into business. Maybe he could even make a fortune in business. As long as he had money, it wasn't necessarily worse than being a government official. However, her husband didn't listen to her and wanted to go to the city management.
Fang Wanhua could only do her best to help her husband. Even if the relationship between husband and wife had faded, they were still husband and wife. Unless Fang Wanhua divorced, she was still willing to do more for this family. In any case, she had already slept with Ceng Gaoqiang for the sake of her job. She had even become Ceng Gaoqiang's mistress. As long as Ceng Gaoqiang needed something, he could just call her, and Fang Wanhua would rush over. Now that she was helping her husband with his job, it was just a matter of convenience. However, she still felt a little sad in her heart. It seemed that this family of theirs was exchanged for her body.
"I know you've put in a lot of effort. Otherwise, why did I agree to arrange a job for Ma Jiang?" Ceng Gaoqiang opened his eyes and looked at Fang Wanhua.
Just as Ceng Gaoqiang finished speaking, the phone in the bedroom rang. Ceng Gaoqiang rolled his eyes. Who the f * ck would call at this time? He pouted his lips at Fang Wanhua, signaling her to go out and get the phone.
After looking at the number, Ceng Gaoqiang picked up the phone. He didn't say anything and just listened. His face gradually darkened.
From the beginning to the end, Ceng Gaoqiang didn't say a single word. The other side hung up the phone very quickly. Ceng Gaoqiang threw the phone to the side, his face ugly.
Mayor Ceng, what's wrong? Fang Wanhua asked with concern. Ceng Gaoqiang's phone call was really strange. He didn't say a single word.
