Later on, when she heard or encountered Meng Chenglin having a woman outside, Luo Wanzhi learned to be obedient and pretended to be deaf and dumb, deceiving herself and others. However, her heart was still very painful, and it was often pricked. In a fit of anger, she went to Hong Kong and brought her daughter overseas, completely letting Meng Chenglin play by himself. Of course, she only had one request, which was for Meng Chenglin to give her the money he deserved. Now, Luo Wanzhi was still suppressing her hatred, and at the most crucial moment, she still used her power in the provincial capital to detain Ma Yingjie.
After Ma Yingjie was taken away by the two men, Meng Chenglin's phone rang, it was one of the men who called, "Boss, he has been detained, please give me instructions."
Meng Chenglin didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he said to the man, "Bring him to a safe place first, wait for my instructions." After saying that, he hung up.
After Meng Chenglin hung up, he immediately called Luo Tianyun. Luo Tianyun was doing research in the suburbs, Zhu Tianyou wanted to build a community culture, to achieve the integration of urban and rural areas. Wu Du was currently the first stop, it was the place where Secretary Zhu Tianyou was detained, and the overall burden of achieving the integration of urban and rural areas was all on Luo Tianyun. However, building a community culture, to achieve the integration of urban and rural areas was also a political concept that Luo Tianyun was exploring. China was so big, in the past, it depended on the unit to manage people, so the household registration was especially important. Now that the great inconvenience brought by the household registration was eliminated, the community culture was especially important. Of course, for many years in foreign countries, the community culture played a leading role. On this point, Luo Tianyun still felt that many foreign systems were superior to China. However, he was also very clear that under the current system, it was quite good to be able to do his best to achieve a little bit of ambition. Luo Tianyun wasn't interested in things like money. However, he needed women, not only physically, but also spiritually. He couldn't live without a woman. He had his own insistence on this point. Luan Xiaoxue was probably God's second gift to him. The first was Situ Yue. His first love, his enlightenment, and his emotional growth were all started by Situ Yue. However, he didn't know when it started, but he and Situ Yue only lived together. Luo Tianyun had gotten used to a life as plain as plain water. He put all his energy into politics and finally had the opportunity to go down to the grassroots level. Without thinking, he asked to come down to train. If he wanted to go further on the road of politics, he had to learn the lessons of the grassroots level. Looking around, which leader didn't grow up from the grassroots? Because of this, he and Situ Yue had a cold war for more than two months. In the end, Situ Yue compromised and followed him to Wu Du. However, he didn't expect that Wu Du would become the last place for Situ Yue and Mo Ziyi. Because of this, Luo Tianyun always felt guilty. If he hadn't insisted on going down to the grassroots level, would Situ Yue and his daughter have died? But if they were still alive, would Luan Xiaoxue appear in his life? A car accident had brought Luan Xiaoxue into his life. This girl, whom he should hate, had occupied all of his heart. When he was free, he would think about her a lot. Her smile, her anger, her tears, and her coquettishness had been imagined by him countless times. He could never let go of this girl who had nothing. He could never let go of her eyes and her panic.
Luan Xiaoxue was taken away by Ma Yingjie, but Luan Xiaoxue occupied Luo Tianyun's heart more and more. For the sake of Luan Xiaoxue, he could accept Ma Yingjie's feelings for Sisi. He risked his life to let Ma Yingjie send Sisi off. People always had feelings. Although the officialdom was a place that obliterated people's feelings, Luo Tianyun didn't want to become indifferent to his own family, and he didn't want Ma Yingjie to be indifferent to his own family. A person who had no feelings to speak of, it was questionable whether he could be trusted or not.
His phone rang. Luo Tianyun saw that it was Meng Chenglin. He was stunned for a moment, but he still stood up and walked to a place where there was no one. When he thought it was safe, he pressed the answer button. Meng Chenglin's voice came through, "Let's exchange." Meng Chenglin said.
"Exchange what?" Luo Tianyun deliberately asked calmly, but his heart suddenly sank. What he was most afraid of still happened. They still detained Ma Yingjie.
"You know very well. Let's stop acting. "Meng Chenglin said straightforwardly.
"Old Meng, I really don't know what you are talking about. What do you want to say?" Luo Tianyun continued to pretend. He still hadn't found a way to deal with Meng Chenglin.
Su Xiaoyang confessed some things, but they were all about Meng Chenglin and women. The most important thing was that Su Xiaoyang hadn't confessed yet. Peng Qingshan was still interrogating Su Xiaoyang. Regarding Peng Qingshan's ability, Luo Tianyun really learned how Peng Qingshan handled cases. He actually secretly detained Su Xiaoyang under Meng Chenglin's eyes and interrogated him in secret. He had reported to Luo Tianyun that Su Xiaoyang couldn't hold on any longer. In another day, even if he didn't ask, Su Xiaoyang would confess. After so many years of handling cases, he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Once you fell into his trap, he wasn't afraid that you wouldn't confess. Although Luo Tianyun didn't see Peng Qingshan interrogate people with his own eyes, he could imagine how cruel they were when they tortured people. Many officials were confident that they were strong Bolsheviks when nothing happened. But once they entered the interrogation room, they found out that they were all cowards who couldn't stand being scared and all confessed.
"Old Luo, we are all sensible people. How about I exchange Ma Yingjie for Su Xiaoyang?" Meng Chenglin was a little impatient. He really didn't expect that one day, he would be able to negotiate with Luo Tianyun in this way.
"Old Meng, I really don't know what you are talking about. Ma Yingjie is in Qin County, and Su Xiaoyang is by your side. These two people have nothing to do with me. Now you want me to exchange people with you, where can I find two living people for you? Moreover, what does Ma Yingjie's matter have to do with me? He used to be my secretary, and I used to train him. But he has his own path to walk, and I can't give him advice every time he walks, right? Whether he makes a mistake or not, it's his business. It seems to have nothing to do with me, "Luo Tianyun said, drawing a clear line between him and Ma Yingjie. He didn't want to exchange with Meng Chenglin at the moment. Even if Ma Yingjie was in his hands, what could he do to Ma Yingjie? Except for Luan Xiaoxue, Meng Chenglin didn't have any shameful things. Moreover, according to his understanding of Ma Yingjie, Ma Yingjie wouldn't say a word about what they wanted. This was not an equal exchange at all. Old Meng was desperate, and he exposed all his eagerness in front of Luo Tianyun. At this time, how could Luo Tianyun easily agree to Meng Chenglin's conditions?
"Old Luo, I didn't say anything. Let's wait and see." Meng Chenglin hung up the phone angrily.
Luo Tianyun sneered, but he still dialed Ma Yingjie's number. However, the message was: the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.
What Luo Tianyun thought of still happened. He couldn't ignore Ma Yingjie, but he didn't want to exchange with Meng Chenglin. Meng Chenglin wasn't qualified to exchange with him now. Power was strange and mysterious when it came to fighting. Sometimes it seemed calm, but in fact, evil currents were surging. Sometimes evil currents were surging, but in fact, they had no lethality. Just like Meng Chenglin's current situation, it seemed that evil currents were surging, but in fact, Meng Chenglin's fate was already at its end. Luo Tianyun was already very moral to let Meng Chenglin's wife and daughter go.
The officialdom was originally a circle of half-human and half-demon. However, the circle had its own way of playing, and the circle had its own rules. In this kind of rules, those who didn't pay attention to morality and righteousness would definitely be eliminated. Because in every corner of our lives, morality and righteousness exist. Without morality, there would be no road, and without righteousness, there would be no benevolence. Those who betrayed morality and righteousness would become wandering ghosts. While being cast aside by everyone, they would also be spurned by everyone. In the circle of officialdom, the focus was to borrow power. Those who borrowed power were smart people, and it was also a smart way of playing. They were also the kind of people who knew how to use morality and righteousness. However, Meng Chenglin's mistake was that he didn't take morality and righteousness seriously. He thought that power was everything, and he even thought that with power, he could do anything. Therefore, while he cultivated a large number of trusted followers, he lost morality and righteousness. Just like how he was worried about Su Xiaoyang now. If he had planted morality and righteousness in Su Xiaoyang's heart, would he still be so anxious to make a deal with Ma Yingjie?
Some deals in the officialdom couldn't be taken lightly. However, Meng Chenglin went against the current. Of course, it wasn't feasible to pay too much attention to morality and righteousness in the officialdom. There were more than a hundred people, and there were all kinds of people. The use of morality and righteousness varied greatly. Most of the time, the big circle of officialdom didn't play cards according to morality and righteousness. Just like Luo Tianyun now, he wouldn't use the morality and righteousness that Meng Chenglin wanted to exchange for Ma Yingjie's personal safety. In Luo Tianyun's philosophy, the most beautiful and cruel part of the game in the circle of officialdom was how to play cards. Which card to play, how to play, whether to borrow power to play, or to attack fiercely, were all things that needed to be paid attention to and planned. You couldn't mess up when others played cards. If others played a small three, you played a king to block it. This kind of game was too orthodox. Which card to use to deal with others and help yourself was all about wisdom and courage. And this kind of wisdom and courage was trained, not innate. No one was born with the ability to play the unfathomable card of officialdom perfectly and with ease. Between the many gains and losses, Luo Tianyun grew up and matured. Just like now, when he and Meng Chenglin exchanged, the card he played for Meng Chenglin was to betray morality and righteousness. If Luo Tianyun was kidnapped by morality and righteousness, it was very likely that he would sit down with Meng Chenglin and make peace. Then the game he had painstakingly played would collapse, and it would even become a weakness that Meng Chenglin could use against him.
