"Qin Ke, are you all right?" Lin Zhiqing looked at Qin Peng, who looked a little strange, and asked with concern.
"No … I'm fine." Qin Peng shook his head.
Hearing that, Lin Zhiqing blinked. He clearly saw that Qin Peng's hands were shaking. It was so obvious that if he didn't see it, there must be something wrong with his eyes.
"Captain Lin, thank you very much for this. Where would you like to have dinner tonight? I'll treat you. We haven't had a drink for a long time." Qin Peng took a deep breath, turned to look at Lin Zhiqing, and said with a smile.
"Qin Ke, how can I let you spend so much money?" Lin Zhiqing said with a smile.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Captain Lin, you're treating me like an outsider again, aren't you?" Qin Peng said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go to the Fengshan Hotel." Lin Zhiqing agreed at once. He also liked to have a drink when he was free. At this time, he didn't mean to refuse at all. The Fengshan Hotel was a three-star hotel in the district, and the cost was not too high. Lin Zhiqing didn't dare to say that they would go to the Xincheng Hotel. It was a place where big leaders and rich people went. Ordinary cadres like them seldom went there to eat.
"Okay, let's go there." Qin Peng answered absent-mindedly.
After starting the car, Qin Peng turned the steering wheel and was about to make a turn. The sharp horn behind him sounded like a death warrant. Lin Zhiqing turned his head and glanced at the rearview mirror. His eyeballs almost fell out. He reached out to pull the steering wheel and quickly turned the car back.
A car sped past from behind. It was just a little bit away from being hit by the front of the car. Qin Peng sucked in a breath of cold air. He felt as if he had just been fished out of the water, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Qin Ke, what's wrong with you today?" Lin Zhiqing was also panting at this time. If he had been hit by the car just now, Lin Zhiqing didn't know whether he would still be alive. He just got in the car and didn't even have a seat belt.
I'm not feeling well today, so I'm a little distracted. Qin Peng gave a hollow laugh, and his face was a little pale. He had walked back from the gates of hell. While he was scared and broke into a cold sweat, Qin Peng calmed down a lot at this time.
Oh, you're not feeling well. I was wondering what was wrong with you today. Lin Zhiqing nodded and said, "Since you are not feeling well, then why are you drinking? Your health is more important. You can drink next time when you have the chance."
That's fine. Next time, I'll find a time to ask you out. Qin Peng didn't say anything polite this time. He wasn't in the mood to drink anymore.
Then I'll get off. Qin Ke, drive carefully. Lin Zhiqing nodded. When he was about to get out of the car, he saw that Qin Peng was still in a daze. Lin Zhiqing curled his lips and thought, "Qin Ke, are you okay? How about I drive you back?
Don't worry, I was just distracted. I'll be more careful when I drive. Qin Peng squeezed out a smile on his face.
Watching Lin Zhiqing get off the car, Qin Peng let out a long sigh of relief and sat in the car in a daze. After a while, Qin Peng took out his mobile phone and called Liang Jing.
In the Xincheng Hotel, Liang Jing was accompanying Zhang Lixing to eat in the hotel. In the private room, there were all the old faces of Zhang Lixing's circle. Liang Jing was not surprised at all. Listening to these people talking about the world affairs and the international and domestic situations, as if the national leaders didn't let them go, Liang Jing sat upright with a faint smile on her face. She didn't like to talk much at this time.
The mobile phone in the bag rang. Liang Jing picked it up and looked at it. Then he quietly hung up and put the mobile phone back. It was a call from Qin Peng. It was not convenient for Liang Jing to answer at this time.
The topic unconsciously turned to the huge fire accident in Lishan County today. The Sun family occupied such a high-quality bauxite resource and had made a lot of money over the years. It was impossible for the people present not to be jealous. However, the Sun family was the first to get involved in it. Sun Ying was very lucky and climbed to the position of Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. The others didn't want to break the rules and meddle with the Sun family's bauxite plant, lest they caused Sun Ying's dissatisfaction. Although Sun Ying was not close to them, they maintained a tacit understanding with each other and minded their own business.
Sun Ying has always been quite aloof. Other than guarding her own interests, she has an indifferent attitude towards other things. In my opinion, the major accident that happened at the Sun family's bauxite mine can be used to make an issue out of it. Zhang Lixing said with a smile. He had drunk several glasses of wine in the evening and his face was ruddy.
Lixing, you let Liang Jing be the Deputy Team Leader of the investigation team. Is this what you are planning? Standing Committee Deputy Mayor Bo Xiangtao said with a smile. At the meeting of the Municipal Government in the afternoon, he heard that Zhang Lixing recommended Liang Jing to be the Deputy Team Leader. He wondered why Zhang Lixing wanted to join in the fun. Now that he heard Zhang Lixing say this, Bo Xiangtao also understood.
He was afraid that this would make Sun Ying dissatisfied. There was no need to do so. The Organization Minister, Lin Siwei, shook his head. He didn't agree with Zhang Lixing's idea. Everything in the world came down to the word "benefit". As the saying goes, one does not get up early without benefit. Lin Siwei thought this was a famous saying. Things without benefit were not worth doing and should not be done.
Old Lin, how can it not be necessary? Sun Ying is only guarding her own interests and pretending to be aloof. Then let's pull her down. We don't need to provoke her, but we can lead the conflict to Chen Xing, right? Hey, this time, Chen Xing expressed his opinion on setting up the investigation team. I heard that he also lost his temper at the scene of the accident and instructed Zhang Wanzheng to investigate whether there was any corruption or malfeasance among the cadres. So there is a lot to do in this matter. Zhang Lixing laughed.
Sun Ying was not stupid. It would not be easy to provoke her and Chen Xing to go against each other. Lin Siwei shook his head.
"Even if Chen Xing doesn't know the relationship between the bauxite mine and the Sun family, I think his attitude at the scene of the accident today has made Sun Ying unhappy." Zhang Lixing laughed. "We are just adding fuel to the fire. Besides, the head of the accident investigation team is Wu Ning, who was appointed by Chen Xing. It has nothing to do with us, right?"
"By the way, I didn't invite Wu Ning to dinner tonight." Speaking of Wu Ning, Lin Siwei couldn't help but say.
"He has something to do. I called him." Said Zhang Lixing. He turned to look at Liang Jing with a smile. "Liang Jing, your task this time is to cooperate with Wu Ning. I don't need to teach you the details, right?"
"I know." Liang Jing nodded.
"Come on, let's drink. Don't waste the wine given by Mr. Qian." With a big smile on his face, Zhang Lixing invited everyone to drink.
Qian Xinlai was not in the hotel that night. The manager of the hotel, who was responsible for entertaining Zhang Lixing and other leaders of the city, sent a bottle of high-end wine, saying that it was a gift from Qian Xinlai.
Everyone toasted and laughed happily. They toasted for the common interests of their small circle and for a better future. Their smiling faces enhanced the atmosphere at the moment. Liang Jing looked at the scene in front of her indifferently. She thought of a saying, "extreme joy turns to sorrow."
The room was filled with smoke. Liang Jing found an excuse to go out for a breath of fresh air. She took her bag and went outside. Looking around to make sure no one was around, Liang Jing took out her mobile phone and dialed Qin Peng's number.
"Peng, what's the matter?" Asked Liang Jing as soon as the phone was connected.
He knew the whereabouts of the mobile phone. On the phone, Qin Peng's voice was a little hoarse. His car was parked on the side of the road. Under the driver's seat, there were cigarette butts and ash scattered on the ground.
"Oh, you got it back?" Liang Jing looked happy.
"No, the mobile phone is with Chang Shengjun, the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Municipal Public Security Bureau." Qin Peng leaned against the window, took a drag on his cigarette, and blew out smoke rings with a blank face. He didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked. A pack of cigarettes that had just been torn open was almost empty now. His throat was a little dry and painful. Qin Peng didn't even notice that his voice was a little hoarse.
"Chang Shengjun?" "Why is it with him?" Liang Jing cried out involuntarily.
"I don't know. I don't know how it fell into his hands. Why did that d * mned son of a bitch who snatched the mobile phone fall into his hands?" Qin Peng growled, and his face behind the smoke was ferocious.
"What should we do now?" Liang Jing subconsciously asked with an anxious look on her face.
"I don't know. The mobile phone has been lost for so long, and it has been in the hands of Chang Shengjun for a long time. He must have noticed the recording in it. Otherwise, he would have found the owner and returned it. As a leader of the Municipal Bureau, he wouldn't be greedy for such a mobile phone." Qin Peng murmured. Except for smoking numbly, his mind was blank now.
"Since Chang Shengjun has noticed the recording, why didn't he do anything at all?" "It has been a month." Asked Liang Jing. His fair face became a little paler at the moment. Liang Jing thought of the close relationship between Chang Shengjun and Chen Xing. Huang You Liang was transferred away, and Chang Shengjun was transferred here. It might be Chen Xing who manipulated it behind the scenes. If the mobile phone fell into the hands of Chang Shengjun, it was hard to say that Chen Xing had already known about it.
"Yes, there is no movement at all, which is even more alarming." Qin Peng smiled bitterly. "Didn't Chang Shengjun notice the recording?" "Are we just scaring ourselves?"
"Peng, don't be whimsical. If I'm not wrong, Chang Shengjun must know about it, and he should have reported it to Chen Xing." Liang Jing looked a little absent-minded. She suddenly remembered that on the day when the new Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhang Wanzheng, took office, Chen Xing suddenly called her and Zhang Lixing to his office after a meeting. He said that he wanted to ask Zhang Lixing about the latest progress of the old city reconstruction project, but in fact, she had nothing to do. After that, both of them were very puzzled and felt that Chen Xing was a little strange.
At that time, they couldn't figure out the reason, so they didn't care about it. But at this moment, as Zhang Lixing said, Chen Xing, as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, would not call her over for no reason. Now thinking of this matter, Liang Jing seemed to suddenly understand.
If the two things were linked together, there would be a reasonable explanation. At this time, while talking to Qin Peng, Liang Jing's face was also pale.
The suppressed breathing passed through the phone, and there was a terrible silence between them. Qin Peng held the cigarette butt in a daze. The flickering tobacco was burning little by little. Qin Peng didn't know when the tobacco had burned out. It was not until the burning pain from his fingertips stung the nerves in his brain that Qin Peng suddenly woke up and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand. Qin Peng opened his mouth. His throat was dry, and he couldn't say a word at this time. The fear in his heart made him feel as if he had lost control of his central nervous system of speech and couldn't speak.
Liang Jing exclaimed in a low voice from the other end of the phone. When Qin Peng was about to say something, the phone had been cut off.
After being stunned for a moment, Qin Peng quickly dialed Liang Jing's number, and there was a prompt that the other party was on the phone.
"Whose phone is it? Why doesn't he answer it?" Zhang Lixing glanced at Liang Jing. After eating and drinking, they were ready to leave. He saw Liang Jing talking on the phone in the corridor, so he quietly walked over and wanted to scare Liang Jing from behind.
"It's none other than my husband who quarrels with me every other day." Liang Jing smiled dryly.
"Oh, no wonder. I was wondering why you looked so pale." Zhang Lixing nodded and didn't suspect anything. He said, "Your bastard husband has been pestering you, hasn't he? Do you want me to send someone to warn him? This guy is teaching at the Party School, so he should behave himself. He needs to be taught a lesson. "
"Mayor, he and I are still husband and wife in name. This is our personal affair. You don't have to worry about it." Liang Jing squeezed a smile on her face and felt a little sorry for her husband. To be honest, her husband didn't do anything wrong to her, but now she often used him as a shield.
"Well, I don't care about your personal affairs." Zhang Lixing curled his lips, looked back, and said in a low voice, "I will spend the night at your place. When you leave the hotel, wait for me at the roadside in front."
After saying that, Zhang Lixing turned and left. Lin Siwei was calling him from behind. Zhang Lixing left in a hurry, leaving Liang Jing in a daze.
Looking at Zhang Lixing's back, Liang Jing smiled bitterly. She didn't have to think to know that Zhang Lixing had sex again after drinking, but she didn't have any thoughts about it.
Zhang Lixing and others had been greeting each other and were ready to go downstairs from the elevator. They were waving at her. Liang Jing calmed down and had to walk quickly.
They went downstairs and said goodbye to each other. Liang Jing drove her own car, and she also bought a car worth more than 100,000 yuan. It was low-key and not ostentatious, but she seldom drove it. After all, she was the director of the office of the Municipal Government, so it was easy for her to get a public car. During this period, Chen Xing was very strict about the frugality of the cadres, so the use of public cars became stricter. So Liang Jing drove her car, which was often left in the garage and ate dust.
After driving for a distance from the hotel, Liang Jing parked her car on the side of the road and waited. Taking advantage of this time, Liang Jing sent a text message to Qin Peng, telling him that she had something to do.
After sending the text message, she deleted it immediately. Liang Jing didn't want to leave any record. Now she was also very nervous.
Turning on the music, Liang Jing sat in the car and was lost in thought. The soft music soothed her nerves. Opening the sunroof, the cold wind blew in, and she suddenly became sober. Liang Jing sat against the seat and looked up at the sparse stars in the sky. Liang Jing was in a daze, a little numb and a little scared. Liang Jing didn't know why she became like this now. Since she was threatened by Li Kaishan to do something for him, everything seemed to be out of control.
The car window rattled. Liang Jing turned around and saw it was Zhang Lixing. She hurriedly opened the door. Zhang Lixing went around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat.
"Hey, aren't you afraid of the cold? It's so cold, but you still open the sunroof." As soon as Zhang Lixing got in the car, he shivered. He just got out of his car, and the heater was on in the car. At this time, the temperature in Liang Jing's car dropped by several degrees.
"Open the sunroof to let some air in, or it will be stuffy." Liang Jing smiled. Since Zhang Lixing said so, she had to close the sunroof.
"Let's go to your house." Zhang Lixing put his big hand on Liang Jing's leg.
"Mayor, I can't drive like this. If my foot trembles, I will step on the gas pedal instead of the brake. That will be terrible." Liang Jing smiled. She was in a bad mood, but she still had to force a smile to cater to Zhang Lixing. Liang Jing suddenly felt that she was worse than the woman standing on the street. When he was in a bad mood, he could choose not to receive guests, but she had to force a smile.
"If I step on the wrong foot, then we will be a pair of mandarin ducks on the run." Zhang Lixing laughed. As he spoke, he took his hand back. He only had one life, and Zhang Lixing cherished his life very much.
Liang Jing glanced at Zhang Lixing's hand, and a trace of contempt flashed in the depths of her eyes. Now she really wanted to step on the gas pedal to the end, crash into the lamppost of the street lamp in front of her, and die.
Starting the car, Liang Jing drove to the community where she lived. At night in Wangshan, the roads in the urban area were more spacious. There were not many cars on the road. It took more than ten minutes to drive, but it was smooth all the way. There was not even a traffic light. Liang Jing drove for seven or eight minutes to the community where she lived.
Parking in her parking space, Liang Jing and Zhang Lixing got out of the car together. She did not notice that there was a temporary parking space not far away. Qin Peng was sitting in the car and watching her and Zhang Lixing walk into the building.
Qin Peng sat quietly. The scene in front of him was not too surprising. Liang Jing could not answer his phone and said it was not convenient. He guessed that she was with Zhang Lixing, the old b * stard. Gritting his teeth, Qin Peng waved his fist fiercely. He had the key to Liang Jing's house. At this moment, he suddenly regretted not entering Liang Jing's room in advance, hiding under the bed, and recording again.
Qin Peng was watching them in secret. Was he following Liang Jing and Zhang Lixing? On the left side of Qin Peng's car, there was a car that had been parked here for a long time. In the car, Chang Shengjun and Zhou Huai saw Liang Jing and Zhang Lixing enter the building, and their eyes moved to Qin Peng's car. They had been waiting here for a long time. Qin Peng came later. As soon as he arrived, he was noticed by Zhou Huai. Recently, he had been secretly investigating the relationship between Qin Peng, Liang Jing, and Zhang Lixing. Zhou Huai could recite the license plate number of Qin Peng's car backward.
It didn't look like he was following them. He had arrived here earlier than Liang Jing's car. If he was following them, he should have followed them. Chang Shengjun shook his head. In fact, after a month of investigation and sorting out, he now had enough information and had a clear understanding of the relationship between Qin Peng and Liang Jing. Liang Jing not only had a husband, but also maintained an abnormal relationship with Qin Peng and Zhang Lixing. Liang Jing's relationship with Qin Peng was a little closer. As for her relationship with Zhang Lixing, according to Chang Shengjun's analysis, it might be more purposeful.
"Secretary, the recording should be a trap set up by Qin Peng and Liang Jing to make Zhang Lixing jump into it." Zhou Huai said.
"Maybe, but the price is too high. Liang Jing will also get himself into trouble." Chang Shengjun shook his head with a smile and narrowed his eyes. He really wanted to take measures against Qin Peng, but Chen Xing didn't want to alert the enemy.
"Look, Qin Peng is gone." Zhou Huai suddenly said.
"He is gone. Let's go." Chang Shengjun smiled. Tonight's trip was like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
The car left the community. Chang Shengjun checked the time and said, "Go to Secretary Chen's place."
At about eight o 'clock, Chen Xing was already in the villa of the hostel. Huang Jianghua and Li Yong moved out, leaving him alone in the small villa. Chen Xing sat in the living room for a while, and then Zhang Wanzheng came over. He got up to greet Zhang Wanzheng and asked him to sit down with a smile. Chen Xing poured a glass of water for him. Huang Jianghua was not here, so he had to do this kind of thing himself.
"Why did Secretary Chen ask me to come here?" Zhang Wanzheng took a look, picked up the water, and took a sip.
"Comrade Wanzheng, did you find anything about Qin Peng that I asked your Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate?" Chen Xing asked.
"Yes." Zhang Wanzheng was slightly stunned and nodded. He had guessed that Chen Xing asked him to come here alone because of the fire accident in Lishan County today, but he didn't expect that it would be about Qin Peng, such a small figure. It was really a little surprising.
"There shouldn't be a leak, right?" Chen Xing said with a smile.
"No, it's just a small cadre of the District Local Taxation Bureau. There shouldn't be a leak." Zhang Wanzheng shook his head with a smile. "I have been in the Commission for Discipline Inspection for nearly 20 years. If I can't control this kind of thing well, I will have worked for nothing."
"That's right." Chen Xing laughed. Zhang Wanzheng was a veteran in the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He really underestimated the other party by asking that question.
"However, it may be time to clean up the internal department of the Commission for Discipline Inspection." Zhang Wanzheng suddenly said, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Investigating the fire accident in Lishan County was met with overt and covert resistance in the county, but Zhang Wanzheng also noticed some problems within the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Zhang Wanzheng didn't know whether these problems existed before or after Li Yanpei's car accident, but he obviously wouldn't let it go. "Why?
Is there any problem within the Commission for Discipline Inspection? " Chen Xing's face turned solemn.
"It's okay. I will solve the internal problems quickly, and then I will report to Secretary Chen." Zhang Wanzheng said with a smile. "But there definitely won't be a leak in the investigation of Qin Peng. Secretary Chen can rest assured about this."
"That's good. Have you found any problems?" Chen Xing continued to ask with a smile.
"It depends on whether the problem you want is big or small, Secretary Chen. To be honest, if you really want to investigate, nine out of ten cadres have problems." Zhang Wanzheng smiled faintly. After a month of contact, he dared to say such words after knowing Chen Xing a little.
"From what you said, it seems that there is a problem." Chen Xing nodded with a smile.
"There must be a problem, and we can take measures against him immediately." As Zhang Wanzheng said, he looked at Chen Xing doubtfully. "But I don't know if I should ask."
"But it's okay to ask." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Secretary Chen, why do you pay attention to such a small cadre?" Zhang Wanzheng asked curiously. In fact, it was enough for the District Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate Qin Peng. It was overkill for the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to deal with it directly. However, it was Chen Xing who personally ordered it, so Zhang Wanzheng did not dare to neglect it. He directly arranged the people to investigate, so as to avoid the leak of the information.
"Comrade Shengjun will come later, and then you will know." Chen Xing raised his hand to look at the time with a smile.
After hearing this, Zhang Wanzheng nodded and did not ask any more questions.
The two chatted for a while and waited for Chang Shengjun to come. In less than two minutes, the sound of a car came from outside. Chen Xing looked up and saw Chang Shengjun's figure had appeared at the door and trotted in.
"Secretary Chen, you're a little late." Chang Shengjun said as soon as he came in.
"It doesn't matter. It's not a meeting, so the time is not so strict." Chen Xing said with a smile and motioned Chang Shengjun to sit down.
Secretary Wan Zheng. At this time, Chang Shengjun also turned to greet Zhang Wanzheng and sat down on the sofa on the other side.
"In the evening, I invited Comrade Wan Zheng. You've got a lot of information in this month's investigation. You can introduce the specific situation to Comrade Wan Zheng. It just so happens that the Commission for Discipline Inspection has made some progress in the investigation of Qin Peng. We can discuss it tonight. I think we can start to consider slowly drawing the net." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Okay." Chang Shengjun's face lit up. From Chen Xing's words, it seemed that they were going to consider substantive actions.
Taking out Qin Peng's mobile phone from his inner pocket, Chang Shengjun handed it to Zhang Wanzheng. This mobile phone had been kept by him.
"Secretary Wan Zheng, listen to the recording carefully." Chang Shengjun said.
"Oh?" Zhang Wanzheng took the phone, and there was some doubt in his eyes.
It was very quiet in the living room. Neither Chen Xing nor Chang Shengjun spoke, which made Zhang Wanzheng hear the recording of the mobile phone very clearly. His face slowly became dignified.
"Is that Mayor Li in the recording?" After listening to the recording, Zhang Wanzheng's face became more serious than ever.
"Does Comrade Wan Zheng think it's Mayor Li's voice?" Chen Xing smiled.
"This … I really can't tell." Zhang Wanzheng shook his head. He was in charge of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Besides, he hadn't been in Mount Wang for a long time, and he had only had a few contacts with government leaders such as Li Kaishan and Zhang Lixing. At first glance, he really couldn't tell whether it was Li Kaishan's voice or not. He only heard the woman call him "mayor".
"It's not Li Kaishan's voice, but Zhang Lixing's." Chen Xing reminded him.
"Zhang Lixing?" Zhang Wanzheng was stunned for a moment, but his face didn't relax because of this. Zhang Lixing was also the executive deputy mayor and a provincial cadre. If this recording was true and those words were said by Zhang Lixing himself, Zhang Wanzheng knew what it meant.
"Comrade Wan Zheng, what do you think after listening to it?" Chen Xing smiled and glanced at Zhang Wanzheng.
It was a little sudden. Zhang Wanzheng looked solemn. He hesitated for a moment and said again. If this matter was to be investigated, I'm afraid that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would have to intervene.
