Zhang Lixing smiled proudly, and his carefree laughter clearly showed his complacency. Liang Jing looked up at Zhang Lixing slightly and didn't know what to say. She knew that Zhang Lixing was definitely not honest and clean, but when she heard Zhang Lixing's words with her own ears and roughly guessed what he meant, Liang Jing was still shocked. If Zhang Lixing's family property was no less than 100 million yuan, how much money did he make in the past few years as the Executive Deputy Mayor? Liang Jing didn't dare to think about it.
"Mayor, before the old city reconstruction project, a lot of relocated households petitioned the provincial government. Is there any problem?" Liang Jing asked softly, feeling a little nervous. She was not deeply involved in Zhang Lixing's affairs before, so she didn't know much about some things. Now that Li Kaishan was forcing her to do something, she had to seize some opportunities to inquire about some things as much as possible. She hoped to learn enough valuable information and give it to Li Kaishan. In this way, they could end their troubles. Li Kaishan would no longer threaten her, so she didn't need to be on tenterhooks all day long.
Liang Jing seemed to be inquiring about something casually, but under the bed, Qin Peng was holding his mobile phone excitedly.
"Why do you care about this? Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Zhang Lixing curled his lips, thought for a while, and said, "The old city reconstruction project is now like my lifeblood. If those unruly people want to make trouble, it's not up to them. So what if they go to the provincial capital to make trouble? Now they are all well-behaved. Who dares to make trouble again? " "Since I can't sleep well, I will make them live a bad life. A group of untouchables think that they can make trouble because they have more people. They are all simple-minded people with well-developed limbs. They don't want to fight with officials. How can they end up well? I taught them a lesson and finally made them behave."
Liang Jing didn't respond. She didn't know what to say to Zhang Lixing's words.
Qian Xinlai, that bastard, had also invested more than half of his family's wealth into this project. If something went wrong with this project, he would be more anxious than anyone else. Now, whether it was me or him, we couldn't allow anything to go wrong with this project. Now that the Qian family and the Zeng family had become in-laws, and Ceng Gaocheng had also been pulled in, heh, our camp was getting more and more stable. No one would be able to destroy this project. Zhang Lixing said to himself, "Don't think that I'm on good terms with Qian Xinlai. We're just tied together because of our interests. If anything happens, I have to be on guard. Husband and wife are birds in the same forest. When a disaster comes, they will fly separately. He probably has a backup plan to save his life. I can't be stupid enough to be used by him and count money for him."
Suddenly, a cell phone rang in the room. In this quiet room, it was so ear-piercing that Zhang Lixing was startled.
The sound disappeared almost in an instant. Zhang Lixing, who was startled, immediately sat up on the bed. Where did the sound come from? It seemed to be under the bed.
Mayor, you must have heard wrong. Maybe it's another cell phone in my drawer. I have two cell phones. Usually, I don't use one, so I leave it at home. However, I don't turn it off. There are still some old classmates' contact information in it. I don't dare to turn it off, for fear that some old classmates will occasionally contact me. But nowadays, harassing text messages or harassing phone calls are very annoying. Every day when I come back, I take a look at the cell phone and often see some calls from strange numbers that I don't recognize at all. "
Liang Jing said with a smile, but his heart almost stopped beating. At this moment, Liang Jing already knew that Qin Peng was definitely hiding under the bed. Just now, his cell phone must have suddenly rang. Because he was lowering his head, he could clearly hear that the sound came from under the bed.
Qin Peng was scared to death. He was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat. It was his wife's call just now. He, who had been holding the cell phone, could be said to have hung up the phone as fast as he could, but the phone still rang.
Pressing the phone to silent mode, Qin Peng's hands were trembling. As long as Zhang Lixing got out of bed and looked under the bed, Qin Peng knew that he would be finished. He didn't know what the consequences would be, but it would definitely not be a good end.
Listening to Liang Jing's deliberately loud voice, Qin Peng's eyes lit up. She had another cell phone number of Liang Jing. At this time, she quickly found another number and dialed it. The phone got through. At the moment when it got through, Qin Peng immediately hung up without hesitation. He didn't dare to slow down his movements.
The cell phone rang again. It still only rang for a while and then did not go off immediately. Zhang Lixing smacked his lips and lay down again. He couldn't tell whether the previous ringtone was the same as the one now. It just rang for a while and then disappeared. But listening to the source of the sound, it seemed to be the same as before.
Liang Jing glanced at Zhang Lixing with a smile. He went to the bed, opened the drawer at the bottom of the bedside table, took out the cell phone, and shook it at Zhang Lixing with a smile. The cell phone was placed at the bottom of the drawer. No wonder it sounded like it came from under the bed. Mayor, your ears are not working well.
Liang Jing said and laughed again. "Look, it's another harassment call. There are so many phone frauds these days. I don't know what the mobile company is doing."
Liang Jing put the cell phone back into the drawer. Lying on her stomach, she took a look under the bed. Their eyes met. Looking at Qin Peng's frightened eyes, Liang Jing's eyes were also filled with deep fear. Like a pair of paper cranes in the wind, they struggled weakly in the air and were blown away by the wind. They were just insignificant people, but they seemed to understand each other's sadness under the fear. Liang Jing felt sad for no reason.
"It's absurd. Is my empty heart sad or numb at this moment?"
The night was desolate, just like her anxious heart.
Time ticked by. The dark night was quiet.
When Zhang Lixing fell asleep like a dead pig, Liang Jing opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. She didn't sleep all night. She didn't dare to move or get out of bed to talk to Qin Peng, for fear of disturbing Zhang Lixing.
When the sky turned white in the east and the morning glow became a beautiful scenery, Zhang Lixing dragged his tired body to get up. He had the habit of getting up early in the morning. After the fixed time, he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to. Besides, staying at Liang Jing's place, Zhang Lixing also wanted to leave as soon as possible, for fear of being seen by others.
After washing and leaving in a hurry, Liang Jing sent Zhang Lixing away and walked back to the bedroom. In Liang Jing's eyes, the distance was so far. Suddenly, she didn't know how to face Qin Peng. Although Qin Peng heard about the ambiguous relationship between her and Zhang Lixing, they tacitly avoided this topic when they were together. Qin Peng could understand her, which made Liang Jing feel grateful. Her love for Qin Peng became deeper. However, it was absurd to talk to Zhang Lixing in front of Qin Peng, which made the last piece of cloth in Liang Jing's heart ruthlessly removed.
Seeing that there was no movement under the bed, Liang Jing, who hadn't slept all night, laughed at herself. Zhang Lixing left and made a big noise. Qin Peng must know it, but he still didn't come out under the bed. What did this mean? Maybe Qin Peng didn't know how to face her face at this time, or maybe Qin Peng didn't want to see her now.
Standing quietly, Liang Jing was waiting for Qin Peng to come out and thinking about how to face the embarrassing scene later. After standing for a long time and hearing no movement under the bed, Liang Jing frowned slightly and bent down to look under the bed in doubt.
Seeing Qin Peng lying straight under the bed and motionless, Liang Jing called him twice, but Qin Peng didn't move. Liang Jing took a closer look. Seeing that Qin Peng had fallen asleep, Liang Jing felt distressed for no reason. "Qin Peng, wake up. Come to bed and sleep."
Qin Peng woke up and saw Liang Jing squatting down to look at him. He was startled. The first thing he said was, "That old bastard left?
He left. " Liang Jing nodded.
Hearing that, Qin Peng climbed out from under the bed. Patting the dust on his body, Qin Peng cursed. "That old bastard made me lie under the bed all night.
I was scared to death and didn't dare to sleep all night, but you could sleep. " Liang Jing gently patted the dust on Qin Peng's back.
"I kept my eyes open until four o 'clock. I didn't dare to sleep, but I fell asleep." Qin Peng gave a wry smile.
Holding Liang Jing's hand, he pulled Liang Jing in front of him and fixed his eyes on her. Soon, Qin Peng held Liang Jing tightly in his arms.
Seeming to feel Qin Peng's heart, Liang Jing felt warm and hugged Qin Peng tightly. They didn't say anything. All the embarrassing scenes that they had imagined seemed to disappear naturally.
"This is a man worthy of my deep love. I am willing to give everything for him." Liang Jing thought at the moment. She couldn't see Qin Peng's eyes. She couldn't see the gloomy eyes behind Qin Peng's gentle embrace. Squinting at the woman in his arms, Qin Peng slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed.
"Xiaojing, come and listen." Qin Peng gently pushed Liang Jing away and took out the mobile phone in his hand. Now, this mobile phone was as important as his life.
"Xiaojing, if the situation is not good in the future, you can go abroad with me … Mayor, I didn't know that you are so rich … Mayor, how much money do you have … Ten million … One hundred million …"
A familiar voice came from the mobile phone. Liang Jing was shocked and looked at Qin Peng blankly. "Peng, what are you doing?"
"Haha, I hid under the bed last night and heard the old bastard talking. I suddenly remembered to record it, so I quickly took out my mobile phone and recorded it." Qin Peng smiled evilly. "Xiaojing, this recording is valuable. With it, we don't have to worry about not being rich in the future, and we don't have to worry about that old bastard anymore."
"Peng, what do you want to do?" There was fear in Liang Jing's eyes. "You may not know that Zhang Lixing is very powerful in the city, far beyond your imagination."
"What's the use of being powerful? We have something on him. What can he do?" Qin Peng sneered. "His wealth is enough for the Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate him."
"Do you think this recording can make him afraid?" Liang Jing shook her head. "Zhang Lixing, don't be fooled by his smiling face. He is very ruthless and dares to do anything. Peng, you do this kind of thing."
"Xiaojing, the more powerful you are, the less courageous you are. We have something on him. What's there to be afraid of?" "Besides, you are by his side, and he trusts you very much. We still have a chance to continue to collect something on him in the future, right?" Qin Peng laughed.
Liang Jing looked at Qin Peng in a daze. Qin Peng's words suddenly made her feel a little cold. When she heard those words and looked at Qin Peng's handsome face, her infatuated face seemed to become ferocious. Slowly, it seemed to overlap with Li Kaishan's face.
"Xiaojing, what's wrong?" Seeing Liang Jing's complicated expression, Qin Peng asked with concern. Soon, he smiled and said, "Well, Xiaojing, you don't have to worry. I won't play with fire. I won't use this recording unless I have to. You can rest assured."
"Really?" Liang Jing looked at Qin Peng.
"Of course it's true." Qin Peng nodded with a smile. "But you still have to help me. We have to collect more information on Zhang Lixing. This is for our future. Think about it. If Zhang Lixing knows about us, will we have a good end?" "We have to have means to protect ourselves. The more, the better. So you have to do this."
"You can protect yourself with the recording in your hand, right?" Liang Jing murmured.
"Are you stupid? Money is not hot. The more evidence, the better." Qin Peng smiled and caressed Liang Jing's face. Looking at Liang Jing's hesitant look, he gently approached Liang Jing and kissed her forehead. He knew that Liang Jing liked this kind of tenderness.
"Xiaojing, listen to me. Do as I say. For our future, do you understand?" Qin Peng whispered and observed Liang Jing's expression.
Liang Jing was silent. He closed his eyes and struggled in the depths of his heart.
After a long time, Liang Jing opened her eyes. When she saw Qin Peng looking at her affectionately, the words that Liang Jing was about to persuade Qin Peng disappeared in an instant. Her heart softened, and she nodded involuntarily.
"Xiaojing, you agree? Great, this is for our future. " Qin Peng smiled happily. In the depths of his eyes, there was also a glow of excitement and carefree pride.
…
In the early morning, the Mount Wang Municipal Public Security Bureau, as usual, was bustling in the office building. However, compared with the usual days, the atmosphere was a little more solemn and strange.
Chang Shengjun came to the office early in the morning. Yang Hongchao, the executive deputy director, arrived at the bureau slowly at nine o 'clock. Seeing the office director, Yuan Zhicai, coming out of Chang Shengjun's office, Yang Hongchao winked at him and entered his office.
"How did Chang react in the morning?" Yang Hongchao motioned Yuan Zhicai to sit down and asked.
"He didn't have any special reaction, and his face was normal. I couldn't tell what he was thinking, but there will be an enlarged meeting of the bureau's Party committee later. Yuan Zhicai said with a smile.
"What happened last night didn't annoy him?" Yang Hongchao was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.
"Even if we annoy him, we can't guess what he's thinking, right? But in the afternoon, he arranged to inspect the frontline posts on the street.
Yuan Zhicai said.
"Inspect the streets?" Yang Hongchao was lost in thought. "Is it possible that Secretary Chen is dissatisfied with the phenomenon of fines in our public security system and said something to Chang, so that Chang wants to make an example of this as soon as he comes?"
"Secretary Chen?"
Yuan Zhicai was startled. He left after the meal last night and was not qualified to leave with Zhang Lixing's small circle, so he didn't know about the conversation Yang Hongchao and the others had after the banquet last night. At this moment, he looked puzzled.
"Old Yuan, you still don't know, right? This Chang may have a close relationship with Secretary Chen of the Municipal Party Committee." Yang Hongchao sneered.
"Director Yang, if that's the case, won't it be troublesome?" "With the support of Secretary Chen, I don't know what this Director Chang will do to the Municipal Bureau."
Yuan Zhicai said worriedly.
"I'm afraid that he won't do anything. The more he does, the better. Take this matter of fines for example. It concerns the interests of the whole system. If he wants to make an example of this, what do you think the consequences will be? Heh, it will definitely cause everyone to fight back. If no one supports him, he's a commander without an army, what use is he? " Yang Hongchao smiled playfully. "Let him do whatever he wants. And that Mr. Qian, do you think Mr. Qian will let go of what happened last night? Let's wait and see. We'll just wait and see."
Hearing this, Yuan Zhicai frowned tightly. He was not as optimistic as Yang Hongchao thought, but since Yang Hongchao said so, he would not refute anything. He looked at the time and said, "Director Yang, I'll go and inform the meeting first, so as not to delay the time."
"Go." Yang Hongchao waved his hand.
Wangshan Municipal Party Committee. When Chen Xing came in the morning, many people noticed the box in Huang Jianghua's hand, and many people looked at it curiously. Huang Jianghua called Dong Bin, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, to the Municipal Party Committee. Seeing Dong Bin enter Chen Xing's office, some people were even more curious.
Secretary Chen, are you looking for me? Dong Bin stood respectfully in front of Chen Xing's desk. His eyes also noticed the box on the table, but he didn't think much about it. Soon, he focused again. Li Yanpei had become a vegetable, and the province had not appointed a new secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Now the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was presided over by him, the first deputy secretary. He didn't know why Chen Xing called him directly. Dong Bin's heart was also uneasy.
Chen Xing opened the box and showed it to Dong Bin. "Take this box back to your Commission for Discipline Inspection, make a record, and deal with it according to the procedure."
Dong Bin was shocked when he saw the box of money. After hearing Chen Xing's words, Dong Bin carefully glanced at Chen Xing. "Secretary Chen, where did this money come from? I don't know where it came from.
Last night, when I returned to the place where I lived, the box was placed at the door. I asked the secretary to take it in. After opening it, I found out that it was a box of money. There were 1.2 million yuan in it. When you go back, ask someone to count it and see if it is missing. As for how to record it, according to the situation I just described, the person involved is Secretary Huang, and my driver, Li Yong. You can ask them. " Chen Xing smiled. "Deal with it according to the procedure. After making the record, if you need my signature, bring it over."
"Secretary Chen, this is illegal money." Dong Bin suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly. "According to the procedure, I have to call someone over, count the money in person, and then make a record on the spot, and ask Secretary Chen to sign it."
Dong Bin said, glanced at Chen Xing, and said solemnly. "Otherwise, if I carry the money back alone and something happens, I can't explain it clearly, and it doesn't conform to the procedure."
"Okay, let's do as you say." Chen Xing nodded.
"Okay, I'll call someone over right away. I can only delay Secretary Chen's precious time." Dong Bin said.
"It's worth it to delay time for business." Chen Xing smiled slightly.
Dong Bin nodded, picked up his mobile phone, and went outside to make a call. He asked two people from the Discipline Inspection Office to come over. It was the first time that Dong Bin had encountered such an unknown amount of money handed over to the Discipline Inspection Office by Chen Xing, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. There was no precedent, so he could only follow the procedure of confiscation of illegal money in the past.
It would take a while for the people below to come over, so Dong Bin was not in a hurry to enter Chen Xing's office. Wei Sida, who was strolling in the corridor, came over intentionally or unintentionally. "Old Dong, why is Secretary Chen looking for you?"
"1.2 million yuan of illegal money is going to be confiscated." Dong Bin saw that it was Wei Sida, so he didn't hide it and said softly.
1.2 million yuan of illegal money? Wei Sida was stunned. He glanced at Chen Xing's office, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. What was Chen Xing doing?
The two were talking softly outside. Huang Jianghua, who passed by, looked at them and paused slightly. Seeing that Wei Sida also turned to look at him, Huang Jianghua smiled and nodded, then quickly walked into Chen Xing's office.
Chen Xing was going to Lishan County for an inspection today. Huang Jianghua sent some information to Chen Xing.
The people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection soon came over. Dong Bin came in with his people. According to the procedure, photos were taken, archived, and records were made. Chen Xing, as the person involved, signed in person. Huang Jianghua and Li Yong were also witnesses. At the same time, Dong Bin asked someone to ask Huang Jianghua to sign. He still had to find Li Yong later. After a series of things were done, Dong Bin looked at Chen Xing respectfully. "Secretary Chen, do you have any other instructions?
There's nothing else. You guys go back first. " Chen Xing waved his hand and said, "The money will be kept for a while. If no one comes forward to claim it, it will be confiscated."
Dong Bin heard this and nodded.
Dong Bin left with his people. Wu Ning came out of the office and looked at it thoughtfully for a while. After standing for a while, Wu Ning came to Chen Xing's office.
Secretary-general Wu came. When Chen Xing saw Wu Ning, he got up with a smile and waved his hand to signal him to sit down.
Secretary Chen, last night, the new comrade Chang Shengjun from the Municipal Bureau went to the Xincheng Hotel to arrest people, but it didn't seem to go well. After Wu Ning sat down, he seemed to say something carelessly.
"Huh?" Chen Xing sat down and glanced at Wu Ning quietly. "I heard that Director Zeng's daughter and Mr. Qian's son got engaged last night?" "The engagement banquet was grand enough. When I passed by the hotel, I saw cars parked around the hotel. Many of them were parked directly on the road, occupying the road. Most of them were buses.
There were indeed a lot of people, but some cadres were really outrageous. They parked randomly. " Wu Ning shook his head and smiled. "I also went last night. I was late and there was no place to park. I asked the driver to park directly elsewhere and walked there myself."
Wu Ning said with a wry smile. Director Zeng used to be the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He used to be my old leader. His daughter was engaged. It was really inappropriate for me not to go.
"Then I should go." Chen Xing nodded with a smile and glanced at Wu Ning's face. He could tell that Wu Ning came to explain to him. He pretended not to know about it and didn't say anything. However, Wu Ning took the initiative to come over and tell him, which surprised Chen Xing.
"Did all the leading members of the city go last night?" Chen Xing asked casually.
Except for you and Mayor Li, the others who couldn't go basically all went. Wu Ning's heart tightened. He knew that Chen Xing seemed to ask casually, but in fact, he was trying to understand the relationship between the people in the city and the Zeng family or the Xincheng Group.
"Mayor Li also didn't go?" Chen Xing was a little surprised.
"Well, Mayor Li didn't go." Wu Ning nodded. "Minister Xu Yuanfei and Comrade Li Yanpei, who have been recuperating in their hometown in Northern Yuan, can't go. By the way, Hong Zhengjie, the Political Commissar of the Military Subdivision, also didn't go. Political Commissar Hong only came when the city held important standing committee meetings. Otherwise, he spent most of his time in the army station and rarely interacted with the people in the city."
Chen Xing listened quietly to Wu Ning's words and looked at Wu Ning's expression. "Is Wu Ning going to say something to me secretly?"
"If Chang Shengjun goes to the Xincheng Hotel to enforce the law, many cadres in the city will jump out to stop him." Chen Xing smiled.
After all, some of them were former subordinates of Director Zeng or had a good relationship with Qian Xinlai. Therefore, on such a festive occasion, Comrade Chang Shengjun went to arrest people, which caused some people's dissatisfaction. Wu Ning said. He knew that Chen Xing might know it. Chen Xing's question was probably to test his attitude. Wu Ning was also very honest.
Chen Xing nodded slightly. Wu Ning took the initiative to come over. After some communication between them, Chen Xing had a better understanding of Wu Ning. This person seemed to be trustworthy. At least so far, his contact with Wu Ning seemed to confirm his thoughts.
"Secretary Chen, may I ask you a question?" Wu Ning suddenly said.
"You ask." Chen Xing looked at Wu Ning.
"Comrade Chang Shengjun went to arrest people. Did you instruct him to do so?" Wu Ning and Chen Xing looked at each other.
"What do you think?" Chen Xing asked with a smile.
Their eyes met. Wu Ning's eyes were clear, and Chen Xing looked at Wu Ning.
Wu Ning smiled, got up, and said, "Secretary Chen, I'll go back to work first. If you have any instructions, just tell me."
Chen Xing nodded slightly and watched Wu Ning leave. Looking at his back, Chen Xing frowned slightly. "Was Wu Ning's last sentence expressing his position to me?"
After sitting and thinking for a while, Chen Xing shook his head helplessly. This Wangshan was more complicated than he had imagined. He didn't dare to trust people casually.
Wei Sida made a phone call in the office. When he came out, he saw Wu Ning coming out of Chen Xing's office. He couldn't help but follow Wu Ning into his office and said with a smile, "Secretary-General, you are also curious about the 1.2 million yuan of stolen money, right?"
1.2 million yuan of stolen money? Wu Ning was stunned for a moment. Thinking that Dong Bin had just left with his men and was still carrying a box in his hand, Wu Ning reacted in an instant. He nodded with a smile and glanced at Wei Sida. "That's right. Everyone is curious about this. Sida, do you know something?
How would I know anything? I was wondering who in Wangshan City would be so generous. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that few people would be so generous. " Wei Sida smiled and exchanged a look with Wu Ning. Both of them laughed and thought of the same person at the same time.
"Whether it is or not, we don't need to ask more about this kind of thing." Wu Ning said with a smile.
"There's no need to be nosy. I called Mr. Qian and told him about it as a joke. As for whether it is true or not, we don't have the ability to worry about it." Wei Sida said with a smile, "Secretary-General, do you think this Secretary Chen is really noble or just pretending to be noble? That's 1.2 million yuan. Can ordinary people do what he did? It's the first time I've seen the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee take the initiative to hand over the stolen money to the Commission for Discipline Inspection."
"It's an eye-opener, isn't it?" Wu Ning glanced at Wei Sida with a faint smile. "Sida, when this Secretary Chen comes to Wangshan, maybe there will be a lot of eye-opening things. Keep your eyes open and watch."
"I think so too. Wangshan City will not be peaceful in the future." Wei Sida also laughed and didn't pay attention to Wu Ning's smile.
In the office of Luo Ling, the assistant to the chairman of the Xincheng Group, Luo Ling looked at Lin Siyu, who was dressed up in front of her. The more she looked at her, the more satisfied she was. She was only 20 years old and was really a flower-like girl. She was also a woman, but compared with Lin Siyu, she could only be regarded as an old woman. When she saw Lin Siyu, she was a little fascinated. She was born beautiful and didn't even need to dress up. Those makeup things were superfluous on Lin Siyu's face. At this moment, she said she dressed up, but in fact, she just asked someone to match a few decent clothes for Lin Siyu. Wearing the carefully matched clothes, Luo Ling sighed with emotion. "Fortunately, this is not the woman Qian Xinlai wants. Otherwise, how can I have a position by Qian Xinlai's side in the future?"
"I've told you everything I should tell you. Your mother has also been taken to a big hospital in Nanzhou for treatment. If Nanzhou can't cure her, Mr. Qian has also said that she can send her to the capital or abroad. As long as she can be cured with money, Mr. Qian said that he will pay millions for her." Luo Ling smiled calmly. "So, you should know what to do. As long as you can please that man and successfully hook up with him, you will have succeeded."
