Qian Xinlai flew into a rage. After a moment of silence, Ceng Gaocheng looked at his daughter and asked, "Are you sure it's someone from the Public Security Bureau?
Gaocheng, do you still need to ask? Except for that Chang guy, who else in Wangshan City dares to do this? Do you think anyone in Wangshan City dares to pretend to be a policeman and arrest my son? " Qian Xinlai looked angry. "What are Yang Hongchao's people doing? They don't even know that the police came to my house to arrest people."
After all, Chang Shengjun was the leader. If he really wanted to do something without Yang Hongchao's knowledge, there would always be a way. Ceng Gaocheng glanced at Qian Xinlai. Now was not the time to be angry. It was more important to ask Chang Shengjun to release Qian Xinlai.
"If he has the guts to arrest them, I'd like to see if he has the ability to shut them down." Qian Xinlai's face was gloomy.
The lunch ended in discord. Qian Xinlai went to call Yang Hongchao and the others in the Municipal Bureau. At the Public Security Bureau, Chang Shengjun stayed in his office. He didn't go out at noon. He had lunch in the office and asked someone in the office to pack a meal for him from the canteen. As for his confidant Zhou Huai, he was not in the bureau at the moment.
Chang Shengjun was thinking about how Zhou Huai was doing when there was a knock on the door. He turned around and saw that Zhou Huai had come in. Chang Shengjun's mood was obviously fluctuating, and there was a little eagerness in his voice. "Little Zhou, how is it?"
"The operation went well and Qian Jinbao was arrested." Zhou Huai smiled.
"Good, good, good." Chang Shengjun rubbed his hands and said the word "good" three times in a row. There was a murderous look in his eyes. Chang Shengjun had been honed by dealing with countless vicious criminals. This time, no matter who did it on the Internet and in the newspapers, if the other party thought that this would scare him, it would be a big mistake. He might not be good at dealing with the media, but he was definitely not a soft-hearted person.
With a flash of light in his eyes, Chang Shengjun was happy and soon calmed down. Although he did not say that it was Qian Xinlai who did it, Chang Shengjun was 80 to 90% sure that it was Qian Xinlai who did it. Since he came to Mount Wang, he had only offended Qian Xinlai. Since the other party played dirty, he should not think that he was a pushover. "You played dirty, didn't you? Then I will use fair means to wrestle with you. Let's see whether your conspiracy is more ruthless or my overt plot."
Chang Shengjun had a fair reason to catch Qian Jinbao, and he was not afraid of anyone's criticism. The only thing he was worried about before was that the leak of the news in advance would lead to the failure of the operation again. However, although Chang Shengjun, as the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Public Security Bureau, had not been officially appointed by the Party Committee, according to the convention, the top leader of the local Public Security Bureau would also be the First Political Commissar of the local Armed Police Force. It was very easy for him to borrow a few people from the Armed Police Force. The people in this operation were drawn from the Armed Police Force by Chang Shengjun and then commanded by Zhou Huai. Otherwise, Chang Shengjun really did not know whether he would fail at the critical moment like that night if he used the people from the Municipal Bureau.
"Where is he now?" Chang Shengjun turned his head and asked.
"He's in the interrogation room for the time being. I'll ask the Armed Police Force to guard him first." Zhou Huai said.
"Well, from now on, you will personally keep an eye on this matter. If anyone wants to let Qian Jinbao go without authorization, you are not allowed to do so." Chang Shengjun's face was sullen. As for Qian Jinbao's matter, he would handle it according to the normal procedure. "No one dares to handle this traffic accident case, so I really want to make him a model."
Zhou Huai listened to Qian Jinbao's words and nodded silently. Obviously, Qian Jinbao was really angry to a certain extent.
Zhou Huai turned around and went to work. The office returned to silence again. Chang Shengjun took out a cigarette and lit it. In the past, the pressure of handling cases made him very addicted to smoking. He smoked at least one or two packs of cigarettes a day. Sometimes when he was annoyed, he smoked very hard, almost one cigarette after another, and couldn't stop.
Catching Qian Jinbao was just the beginning. Chang Shengjun knew that this matter would definitely be brewing like a storm, but he didn't care about it. Chang Shengjun firmly believed that evil would not prevail over good. Even if the Qian Xinlai was not powerful in Wangshan City, he didn't believe that the Qian Xinlai could fight against the state machine.
Time flew. In the seemingly calm atmosphere of the Municipal Bureau, there was a turbulent undercurrent.
After Yang Hongchao received a call from Qian Xinlai, he was almost hurt by Qian Xinlai's angry voice. Qian Xinlai used to be a little polite to Huang Youliang, but he had always been arrogant to them. After Huang Youliang was transferred, Qian Xinlai seemed to be a little closer to them, but in fact, he still had a high and mighty attitude. When there was nothing, he would naturally talk and laugh, but when something really happened, Qian Xinlai dared to scold them.
Listening to Qian Xinlai's angry questioning, Yang Hongchao didn't expect that Chang Shengjun would arrange people to catch Qian Jinbao at this critical moment. Why didn't he get any news? Also, if he used the police officers in the bureau, how would the police officers dare to make a move?
With a stomach full of doubts, Yang Hongchao dealt with Qian Xinlai with a smile. After hanging up the phone, his face was ugly. After all, he was an executive deputy director. It would be strange if he could be happy after being scolded. However, knowing Qian Xinlai's temper and power, Yang Hongchao could only pinch his nose and accept it. He turned and walked out of the office. Yang Hongchao really admired Chang Shengjun at this time. At this point, he was still thinking about catching people? No wonder he was from the Provincial Department. Not only did he dare to touch the tiger's butt, but he also dared to ride on the tiger's head.
Thinking of this, Yang Hongchao unconsciously showed a smile. The bigger the conflict between Chang Shengjun and Qian Xinlai, the happier he was to watch. When the sandpiper and the clam fought, the fisherman would benefit. Yang Hongchao had been eyeing the throne of the director for a long time.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, in the Municipal Party Committee, Chen Xing was listening to Zhao Yuxuan's report on the preparation for the manufacturing processing zone in his office. This female cadre was recommended by Sun Ying. Chen Xing didn't know her real ability, but there was one thing that was beyond doubt. Even if he was the leader of the Municipal Party Committee, he had to consider and weigh the interests of all sides. The city was going to set up the new Agricultural Happiness Zone and the Manufacturing Processing Zone. Both zones were at the divisional level. There were so many vacancies, and he couldn't appoint all of them. First, he didn't have so many people to use. Second, people who only knew how to take all the benefits would not be able to stay in office for long.
In fact, the person in charge of the two zones was Wei Zhiping, who was recommended by the Deputy Mayor of the Municipal Government Office, and Zhao Yuxuan, who was recommended by Sun Ying. Both of them were not Chen Xing's men. Chen Xing had just arrived in the city and doesn't have anyone he could use.
The structure of the manufacturing processing zone had been set up, and they were contacting a group of companies to move in. They were also discussing with the Investment Promotion Agency about holding a special promotion conference. Zhao Yuxuan was sitting opposite Chen Xing's desk and reporting to Chen Xing.
She was in her thirties, with a beautiful face and a slightly plump figure. No wonder Zhao Yuxuan used to be the flower of the Municipal Party Committee. Chen Xing didn't pay attention to comparing Zhao Yuxuan and Liang Jing, the Director of the Municipal Government Office. Looking at Zhao Yuxuan's resume, her age was 34 years old. She used to be the youngest female Deputy Mayor of Wangshan City. At this moment, listening to her report, Chen Xing had a good impression of her. Comrade Yuxuan, although I haven't been in Wangshan for a long time, I have already heard one thing.
Comrade Yuxuan, although I haven't been in Wangshan for a long time, I have already heard one thing. You and Liang Jing, the director of the government office, are known as the two golden flowers in the officialdom of Wangshan City. Both of you are young female leaders and can represent the outstanding women in Wangshan City. There are a lot of eyes on you, so you have to work harder. The manufacturing processing zone has started from scratch, and the preparation work is complicated. Whether the processing zone can develop in the future depends on the efforts of the leaders of the zone. As the leader, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. As a woman, do you have confidence? Chen Xing said with a smile.
Women can hold up half the sky. Secretary Chen, I am confident that I will live up to the expectations of you, Secretary Chen, and the Municipal Party Committee. Zhao Yuxuan smiled at first, then said seriously. Although she said so, in her heart, she sneered at Chen Xing comparing her with Liang Jing. Liang Jing was a woman who climbed up by undressing. Zhao Yuxuan felt that she was disdainful to be compared with her.
Chen Xing didn't know what was on Zhao Yuxuan's mind. He looked at the woman in front of him and glanced at her face. He thought to himself that this woman was also a smooth and slick person. But then again, a woman who could come out of a government agency was not simple. Zhao Yuxuan had the experience of being Sun Ying's secretary. This might be her fate, but it was also a skill to make her leader satisfied.
While thinking, his cell phone rang. Chen Xing picked up the phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number. He frowned slightly. This was his private cell phone. An unfamiliar number that could call him was not an ordinary person. Chen Xing didn't hesitate and picked it up.
Secretary Chen, right? It's me, Lin Baoming. On the other end of the phone, a deep male voice sounded.
Chen Xing was slightly stunned. After a moment of hesitation, Chen Xing quickly realized that it was Lin Baoming, the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Although he hadn't met him before, Chen Xing knew his name. The officials of the Organization Department were one level higher than the officials. In addition to Minister Chen Jindong, Chen Xing also had an impression of the several deputies.
"It turned out to be Deputy Minister Lin. I was wondering why I heard magpies singing in the tree when I got up this morning. It turned out that Deputy Minister Lin would call me." Chen Xing laughed. Chen Xing had gotten used to it. Although he had never met Lin Baoming, he had already said some nice words to Lin Baoming. Unless it was necessary, no one was willing to offend these officials of the Organization Department. Usually, they had to curry favor with them. Chen Xing smiled.
Secretary Chen's words made people feel comfortable. Lin Baoming also responded to Chen Xing with a smile. "When Secretary Chen comes to the province one day, remember to call me. Let's have a drink."
Lin Baoming's tone was affectionate. As soon as he finished speaking, he changed the topic. "Secretary Chen, I wonder if Secretary Chen has paid attention to the public opinion in the past two days?"
"Well, what public opinion?" Chen Xing asked subconsciously, but his heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling again.
"It's about Comrade Chang Shengjun of the Wangshan Municipal Bureau. In the past two days, the Internet and newspapers have been in a mess. The leaders of the province are also very concerned about it. Our Party's criteria for selecting cadres is to appoint people based on their talents and have both ability and integrity. We should promote talented cadres, but we will never hire those who have only talent and integrity. We should focus on promoting cadres with both ability and integrity. I think Secretary Chen, as the head of the Party Committee, should know this better than me." Lin Baoming said with a smile on his face. He didn't point out who he was referring to, but he believed that Chen Xing would definitely understand what he meant.
Deputy Minister Lin was right. Officials with talent but no morals should never be promoted. Chen Xing nodded, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Zhao Yuxuan opposite him. Then he got up and walked to the window to listen to the phone. He understood the hidden meaning of Lin Baoming's words, and his heart was covered with a layer of shadow.
Secretary Chen, although the police officer's suicide seemed to be a trivial matter, the leaders of the province were very concerned about it after all. We can't underestimate the influence of public opinion. I hope that Wangshan City can handle it properly. As for some cadres, we can't promote them even if they are "sick". No matter how capable they are, we will never hire cadres with bad moral character. Lin Baoming said with a smile.
"Deputy Minister Lin, don't worry. We will handle this matter well. As for the appointment of cadres in the city, we will keep a close eye on them. Deputy Minister Lin, you don't have to worry about it." Chen Xing sneered. He was dealing with Lin Baoming, who was calling under someone else's name. At this moment, Chen Xing had already realized that if this person had nothing to do with the mastermind who schemed against Chang Shengjun, Chen Xing would twist his head off.
Lin Baoming seemed to feel that Chen Xing's tone had changed, so he said with a smile, "I believe that Secretary Chen will handle the matter in Wangshan City well. However, I'm mainly calling to remind Secretary Chen. I don't mean anything else. Secretary Chen, you don't have to take it to heart.
Deputy Minister Lin, you think too much. I have to thank you for caring about the work in Wangshan despite your busy schedule. " Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and said words to deal with the other party. Chen Xing's mood was not relaxed at all.
Zhao Yuxuan sat in the same place with her eyes down. She did not move, nor did she turn her head in the direction of Chen Xing. However, she pricked up her ears and listened to Chen Xing on the phone. Zhao Yuxuan did not know who the Deputy Minister Lin Chen Xing was talking about was, but from Chen Xing's words, Zhao Yuxuan vaguely felt that she was going to catch something. In the morning, she was also waiting outside to report to Chen Xing. However, because of the arrival of Chang Shengjun, Chen Xing directly drove away a few people who were still waiting in line to report at the door and asked them to come back in the afternoon. In the past two days, Zhao Yuxuan had paid attention to public opinion and knew that Chang Shengjun, the new head of the Public Security Bureau, was in trouble. There were not many people in Wangshan City who dared to do that. Although Zhao Yuxuan did not get involved in anything, she could roughly guess who it was. Chang Shengjun could go directly to Chen Xing's office in the morning. Zhao Yuxuan also pondered about the close relationship between the other party and Chen Xing.
Chen Xing picked up the phone and hung up after a few casual words with Lin Baoming. He stood in the same place and pondered. The dignified expression on his face showed Chen Xing's mood at the moment. Chen Xing felt that the conspiracy against Chang Shengjun at the moment might be just the beginning.
When he turned around and saw Zhao Yuxuan, Chen Xing realized that she was still in his office. He waved his hand and said, "Comrade Yuxuan, you go back first. You have to hurry up with the work in the processing zone. I won't make too many requests to give you pressure. I just want to give you a message, that is, I wish you all good results as soon as possible, and then I will personally hold a celebration party for you.
Okay, then I will remember your words, Secretary Chen. On behalf of the Party Working Committee and the Management Committee of the park, I promise Secretary Chen that I will not slack off and will not let you down. " Zhao Yuxuan straightened his chest and said.
Zhao Yuxuan came out of Chen Xing's office and turned a corner in the corridor. Sun Ying's office was on the other side. Zhao Yuxuan knocked on the office door and came to the old leader's office.
The afternoon passed in the blink of an eye. After answering a few phone calls, Chen Xing's mood became heavier and heavier. They were all related to Chang Shengjun's affairs. The phone calls were intentionally or unintentionally exerting pressure on him. There was already a prelude to a storm.
Night fell. When the lights lit up, the entire Mountain Gaze was like a beautiful mountain city embedded in the mountains. The lights of tens of thousands of households were like bright pearls in the mountain city.
Chen Xingzhe was still in his office, standing in front of the window, gazing at the city under the night sky. It didn't have the hustle and bustle of a big city, but the whole city exuded a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere, which made people unconsciously fall in love with this city. This was actually a city suitable for retirement. There wasn't too much pollution, and the comfortable environment, as well as the slow pace of life and work, made people unconsciously feel a little lazy.
"Secretary, why don't you eat? The food will be cold later." When Huang Jianghua walked into the office and saw that the lunch box he had bought for Chen Xing was still untouched, he could not help but say this.
His stomach wasn't that fragile yet. He wouldn't get sick after eating a few cold meals. Chen Xing smiled slightly. When it was almost evening, he learned that Chang Shengjun had sent people to arrest Qian Jinbao at noon. The people were transferred from the armed police. This time, Qian Jinbao was caught red-handed.
Chen Xing supported Chang Shengjun's approach. In advance, Chen Xing did not expect that Chang Shengjun would do this at this critical juncture. After knowing this, Chen Xing appreciated Chang Shengjun's resolute character a little more. It should be known that a wily old fox who had been in the officialdom for a long time paid attention to all aspects and was slick and slick. It was rare to see a tough character like Chang Shengjun.
Turning around, he walked back to the sofa and sat down. Chen Xing flipped through the documents in his hand. He had already signed the 20 million education subsidy for Lishan County and instructed the Finance Bureau to allocate it. At this moment, the documents in his hand were sent by the Municipal Education Bureau. The gap in the city's education funds was very big. Chen Xing had a headache. The Education Bureau probably heard that he had specially approved 20 million education funds for Lishan County to make up for the teachers' arrears.
Putting the documents on the table, Chen Xing rubbed his temples. These things should be handled by the mayor, Li Kaishan.
Thinking that the preparation of next year's budget should be almost completed, Chen Xing thought that he should personally take care of it. The investment in the old city renovation project was too large, and it was unknown whether it would achieve the corresponding results in the end. With so much money invested, if it was just a facade project in the end, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Picking up the phone, Chen Xing called Zheng Jue. It had been some time since Zheng Jue had brought her people to Mount Gaze for an inspection. Chen Xing had been concerned about whether the Four Leaf Clover Group would invest in Mount Gaze. From time to time, he would call Zheng Jue, which could be considered as putting the little friendship between them to use.
Chief Zheng, have you considered the investment in Mount Gaze? As soon as the call was connected, Chen Xing smiled.
Secretary Chen, I'm very sorry. I've been busy with personal matters recently and forgot about this matter. On the phone, Zheng Jue smiled apologetically, and there was a hint of exhaustion in her voice.
When Chen Xing heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said, "Chief Zheng, if there's anything you need help with, just let me know. We can be considered old friends. As long as it's within my power, I won't refuse, right?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Secretary Chen. It's just a personal matter. It'll be fine after I've dealt with it. When the matters at hand are dealt with, I'll consider the investment in Mount Gaze." Zheng Jue answered.
When Chen Xing heard this, he could not tell if Zheng Jue was making excuses or if she was really bothered by personal matters. Chen Xing did not say anything more. After chatting for a while, he hung up the phone. Chen Xing pondered about Zheng Jue's character. In the end, he could only shake his head and smile. They had known each other for a long time, but the number of times they had interacted could be counted on one hand. He did not know Zheng Jue very well.
After sitting for a while, Chen Xing's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Gu Panman. Chen Xing picked it up and said with a smile, "Xiao Gu, what can I do for you?
Chen … Secretary Chen, do you have time now? " Gu Panman took the initiative to call Chen Xing. She was obviously a little nervous. The first two times, it was Chen Xing who contacted her.
I have time. Why? Chen Xing said with a smile.
Then, Secretary Chen, are you still going to the houses of the relocated households? I've found the addresses of a few more families. Gu Panman said softly on the phone. Chen Xing could faintly imagine her blushing face. She was already in her thirties. After the two times of contact, Gu Panman seemed to be more like a young girl.
Chen Xing hesitated. After visiting those relocated households, Chen Xing had basically given up hope. Obviously, someone was warning and threatening them. Since the sit-in at the gate of the Provincial government, these relocated households seemed to have disappeared after they came back. No one made a fuss anymore. They all quieted down overnight. Chen Xing had hit a wall twice in a row. Judging from the panic and fear of the two relocated households he visited at that time, Chen Xing could basically make a judgment that someone was playing tricks behind the scenes. At this time, Gu Panman called again. Chen Xing didn't want to do any useless work. But when he thought that Li Ying had mentioned that Gu Panman had spent a lot of effort to help him, Chen Xing didn't want to say anything to dampen her enthusiasm. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go again tonight.
Okay, where should I wait for you, Secretary Chen? " Gu Panman's voice was obviously a little happy.
"Where are you? I'll go and pick you up. " Chen Xing asked.
"I'm still at work." Gu Panman said in a low voice. In fact, she hadn't had dinner yet. In the past two days, she had been actively waiting for Chen Xing to call her. She spent a lot of time in private to find out where the other relocated households lived. Not only did she ask for leave during working hours to go to many places, but she also asked her parents' friends to help her find out the address of some relocated households. She had been hoping that Chen Xing would take the initiative to call her again, but she didn't get Chen Xing's call. Today, she foolishly waited until now. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't call her, she summoned up the courage to call Chen Xing.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Panman walked to the gate of the unit and walked along the road for a while. When she was a distance away from the unit, she stopped. Chen Xing's car came over. Gu Panman also wanted to avoid arousing suspicion. She didn't want to be seen by others at the gate of the unit.
Looking carefully at the car coming over the road, Gu Panman recognized the license plate number of Chen Xing's car. As soon as the car approached, Gu Panman hurriedly waved at him.
Chen Xing turned to look at Gu Panman, who got in the car, and said with a smile, "You are still at work at this time. Have you had dinner?
Secretary Chen, have you had dinner? " Gu Panman glanced at Chen Xing.
"I made do with dinner in the office." Chen Xing smiled. "What? You haven't eaten yet?"
"I've eaten too." Gu Panman nodded slightly. She was too embarrassed to say that she hadn't eaten, for fear of delaying Chen Xing's time.
"Okay, then let's go directly." Chen Xing nodded and didn't think much about it. He asked Gu Panman to show him the way, and the group of them went directly to the place Gu Panman had told them.
This time, the place they were going to wasn't the village in the city, but a natural village on the outskirts of the city. It belonged to the urban-rural fringe area, which had a lot of migrants. Many people who worked in the city rented houses here because the rent was cheap.
Secretary Chen, we should be able to get something from this trip. Gu Panman guided Li Yong as he talked to Chen Xing.
"Oh, what can I get?" Chen Xing smiled and replied casually. He didn't have much hope.
"I went there at noon. I had already visited one of the families. The man was in his thirties, and he seemed to be a hot-blooded man. I lied to him and told him that the city had sent me to learn about the compensation agreement. If they had any dissatisfaction, they could file a complaint and the city would help them solve it. When he heard that, he was silent at first. Then, he got a little excited. He said that he was going all out and told me the truth about the compensation agreement. Gu Panman said to Chen Xing.
"Really?" Chen Xing's eyes brightened. He sat up straight and looked at Gu Panman. "Why didn't I hear what you said on the phone just now?
I forgot. " Gu Panman smiled embarrassedly. He had just taken the initiative to call Chen Xing. Gu Panman was so nervous that his palms were sweating. How could he remember to tell him this?
"In that case, we might be able to get something from this trip." Chen Xing's eyes were also filled with joy. He thought that it would be useless to come out. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Panman was busy, he might not have come out. At this moment, he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Gu, you didn't mention this on the phone just now. I almost didn't come out."
"Ah?" Gu Panman opened his mouth slightly and looked at Chen Xing in surprise.
He was stunned for a moment.
Gu Panman scratched his head and smiled bitterly. "I forgot about it just now."
"It's okay. I'm out now." Chen Xing smiled. "I hope this trip tonight won't be in vain."
"I don't think so. I think he won't change his mind since he said that at noon. At noon, before I left, I told him that I would bring our leader here tonight. He also nodded and said yes." Gu Panman said.
"I hope there won't be any accidents. For this matter, this is the third night we've come out. Not to mention that it's been in vain, Xiao Gu, this matter has taken up a lot of your personal time. I haven't even thanked you properly for making you suffer." Chen Xing smiled. "Your husband won't blame you if you didn't go back in time tonight, right?" "But it's okay. If he does, you can ask him to look for me. As the secretary, I will explain it to you personally."
Gu Panman opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. She wanted to tell Chen Xing that she didn't have a husband, but she swallowed the words when they were about to come out of her mouth. "Secretary Chen, this is what I should do. It's my honor to share the burden of the leader."
"Eh?" "Xiao Gu, this doesn't sound like you." Chen Xing looked at her in surprise and smiled. "Although I haven't had much contact with you, in my impression, you don't seem like someone who would say such formal words."
"Secretary Chen, then what kind of person do you think I am?" Gu Panman turned to look at Chen Xing. For the first time, she looked into Chen Xing's eyes. In the dim carriage, her face couldn't be seen clearly. But at this moment, Gu Panman knew that her face was burning. If it was daytime, people would definitely see that her face was red to the ears.
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment. He really couldn't tell what kind of person Gu Panman was. Including tonight, it was only the third time they had met each other. Their current impression was also built up from these few times. As for his understanding of Gu Panman, he actually didn't know much about her.
"Xiao Gu, this question is difficult for me." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.
Hearing Chen Xing's answer, Gu Panman's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment. She looked forward and didn't have time to think too much. She hurriedly said, "We're here. We're here. Turn left at the intersection ahead, and we'll arrive."
Li Yong followed Gu Panman's directions and turned left. He heard Gu Panman say, "Secretary Chen, this area of houses is very crowded. It's not easy for cars to go in. It's all small alleys. It's more convenient to go in on foot."
"Okay, then let's go in on foot." Chen Xing nodded.
They got out of the car and walked. Although Gu Panman wasn't familiar with this area, he had come to look for it at noon, so he could recognize the way. Following the dim light on the roadside, Gu Panman soon found the place they had come to during the day.
The other party lived in a room on the second floor by the roadside. Gu Panman had been there at noon, so she had an impression of it. Looking up from the courtyard through the iron gate, Gu Panman murmured in confusion. At noon, she had said that she would bring the leader here at night, and the other party had said yes and said that he would wait at home tonight. Why didn't he see the light on now?
Fortunately, at noon, Gu Panman had memorized the number. She took out her mobile phone and called the other party. The call went through, but no one answered after a long time. When the system automatically prompted that no one was answering, Gu Panman frowned and hung up the phone.
Why? No one is there? Chen Xing looked at Gu Panman and had already guessed something.
"It's strange. At noon, he told me that he would wait at home tonight. Why didn't he answer my call and there was no light on upstairs?" Gu Panman said in confusion. Seeing that Chen Xing was staring at her, Gu Panman thought that Chen Xing thought that she had lied in the car just now, so she hurriedly said, "Secretary Chen, when I came here at noon, the other party really told me about the demolition, and I said that I would bring the leader here tonight. He also said that it was okay and he didn't lie to you.
He didn't say that you lied to me. " Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. "Maybe they have something urgent, so they are not at home and have no time to answer the phone."
Although Chen Xing was comforting Gu Pannan verbally, he had already lost all hope in his heart. Judging from the current situation, it seemed like he had made a wasted trip tonight. Chen Xing shook his head helplessly. He had long guessed that these relocated households must have been threatened by someone. None of them dared to stand out and say anything. How could he possibly meet someone who dared to speak up so easily?
When they were talking, just opposite the house where they were standing, a middle-aged couple in their thirties were hiding in a corner and looking out. The man was holding a mobile phone in his hand. When Gu Panman called, his mobile phone lit up, but because it was muted, there was no sound.
"That woman is the woman who came to see you at noon, right? Did you see that? She brought three men here, and they are the leaders of the city. Do you believe it? You're the only one who's foolish enough to believe whatever others say. Sooner or later, you'll get yourself killed. Can't you see that there are people watching those people every day? These people might be in cahoots with them and are here to test the waters. The woman next to him looked at the man next to her and complained. "Don't stand out in the future. If others don't make trouble, why do you make trouble?" "Do you want to destroy our family? Fortunately, our children are boarding in junior high. Otherwise, I am afraid that you will cause trouble sooner or later."
"That woman speaks softly and is also very polite. She doesn't seem to be in the same group as those bastards." The man said unwillingly. "We can't hide here. Why don't we go out and ask what is going on?"
"Why do you want to go out? Aren't you afraid of death? What if they are looking for trouble?" "Let me tell you, we can't live in the house we rented anymore. We will move tomorrow." The woman stared at her husband and said angrily, "It's all your fault, your big mouth."
"It's not that I want to talk big, it's that those bastards are too much. I just can't take it lying down. Besides, what's the point of living like this?" The man lowered his voice and said angrily.
The two of them watched the movements of Chen Xing and the others while muttering. Chen Xing and Gu Panman, who were standing at the door of the courtyard, looked around. Gu Panman had already made two more calls, but no one answered. Her eyes were full of disappointment. "Is there really something going on with them, or has she been fooled?"
"Secretary Chen, should … should we …" Gu Panman looked at Chen Xing in embarrassment. He hesitated for a while and said, "Why don't we wait for a while? Maybe they will come back later."
