When Ma Yingjie realized that he wasn't mature enough, he decided not to tell his boss about it for the time being. Before he found out who took Luo Wanzhi away, he decided not to disturb Luo Tianyun's investigation in Qin County. His boss was his only backer now, and he couldn't let his boss have any doubts about this backer. It was terrible to be isolated in the officialdom. Everyone was looking for a backer, and everyone was eager to have a stronger backer. Although he had a boss now, he couldn't be like Su Xiaoyang and act recklessly because he was favored by his boss. Now, fortunately, Situ Lan didn't refuse him. Ma Yingjie breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Situ Lan would criticize him, and he was even more afraid that Situ Lan would say that he deserved it, and wouldn't let Ma Yingjie handle this matter.
It seemed that women's hearts were still much softer. Although Situ Lan didn't like Sisi, at this time, she still didn't refuse Ma Yingjie's request.
When Ma Yingjie was thinking about this, his phone rang. He thought it was Situ Lan's call, but when he picked it up, it turned out to be his boss, Luo Tianyun. He quickly pressed the answer button, and Luo Tianyun's voice came through. "Has Luo Wanzhi been taken away?"
Ma Yingjie was shocked. Boss knew the news so soon? Was it Situ Lan who said it? In fact, Luo Tianyun had just received a strange call, saying that Luo Wanzhi had been taken away. In the officialdom, answering the phone was sometimes very particular, especially for leaders like the mayor of Luo Tianyun. They had all the important names on their phones. When the phone rang, they would usually see who the other party was, and then decide whether to answer it or not. At first, Luo Tianyun didn't want to answer the strange call, but when he saw Jiang Chaoqun and Mei Jie looking at him, he answered the call. Someone actually said, "According to reliable information, Luo Wanzhi has been taken away." After saying that, the other party hung up. He didn't know the authenticity of the news, so he called Ma Yingjie and asked Ma Yingjie to check it out. What was the purpose of taking Luo Wanzhi away at this time?
Ma Yingjie hurriedly said, "Luo Wanzhi was indeed taken away by someone. I just called Sister Lan and was about to send you a message, but I was afraid it wouldn't be convenient for you to answer the phone." Ma Yingjie told a small lie. Sometimes, a white lie could hurt the relationship between two people.
"I understand. Be careful." Luo Tianyun reminded Ma Yingjie and hung up the phone.
Ma Yingjie was stunned. Except for reminding him to be careful, the boss didn't mention Sisi. Did he not mention her on purpose? Or did he believe that Ma Yingjie could solve his personal affair?
Alas, in the battle between two tigers, casualties were inevitable. In the officialdom, once one became the opponent of a certain person or a certain group, even the slightest movement would attract the attention of others. Not to mention doing things, just dealing with all kinds of rumors and rumors would consume all of one's energy. This was something that Ma Ying Jie was also very clear about. Last year, Ma Angang, the county head of Chuan County, offended Meng Chenglin. His deeds were broadcasted live on Weibo in the form of reports. What he said in meetings, what he ate in restaurants, and even what he complained about some leaders. There were also photos of him having an affair with a female boss. All of these were spread on Weibo. Secretary Meng Chenglin didn't need to do anything. The public opinion and the family civil war were enough to make Ma Angang collapse. Ma Yingjie knew that this was the work of a team. When they couldn't find any economic evidence against a person, the public opinion on the Internet was enough to destroy an official's political future. At that time, Ma Yingjie wondered how many wise men Meng Chenglin had raised. How could he come up with this kind of method? At that time, Ma Yingjie was very worried about Luo Tianyun. He thought that Meng Chenglin was too powerful to be defeated. He thought that Meng Chenglin had already formed his independent kingdom in Wu Du, and it was impossible to destroy or replace this kingdom. But in less than a year, this kingdom was about to change hands, and Meng Chenglin ended his life in that way. Now, his wife was taken away, and his daughter was crying and begging him. How could he not be considered as one of Meng Chenglin's opponents?
That was then, and this was now, in the officialdom. Whenever Ma Yingjie thought of Sisi, his heart would ache. This kind of pain wasn't suitable for officialdom, and this kind of pain wasn't welcomed in officialdom. But Ma Yingjie was really in pain, for a girl that he couldn't let go of.
Of course, Ma Yingjie would think about the consequences of his entanglement with Sisi. It was just that Ma Yingjie couldn't let go of Sisi. Sisi was also very important to him. He did rely on Sisi to enter Meng Chenglin's kingdom, and got the key to open the gates of the kingdom. If he used this key well, his future would be bright. But Sisi was caught in such a huge storm. How could he not be in pain now? He would rather all of this happen to him than to Sisi, a girl who couldn't bear it.
Ma Yingjie was anxious, but the road to the Great Wall Hotel was blocked. Ma Yingjie was sweating, anxious, and heartbroken.
When Ma Yingjie knew something, the safest way for him was to pretend that he didn't know anything, push everything to time, and pretend to comfort Sisi. But he didn't want to do that. He had to deal with this matter, and even if he couldn't deal with it well, he didn't want to get out of it. But if he was so crafty and only wanted to win the loyalty of Luo Tianyun, he wouldn't be Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie was sometimes stubborn. Morality was already set in his bones, and repaying favors was Ma Yingjie's nature. He knew that at this moment, he needed a strong determination in his heart, and this kind of determination was the most valuable aspect of officialdom.
In officialdom, whether a matter was handled well or not depended on how strong one's determination was. On this point, Ma Yingjie thought that his boss, Luo Tianyun, was much more determined than him. He could win without batting an eyelid and get rid of Meng Chenglin. Now, he could go to Qin County without batting an eyelid. He pretended that it was an inspection, but he was actually setting up his own chess piece. He brought Ma Yingjie to Qin County in the name of promotion, but it turned out that he had already planned and considered it. He also put Luan Xiaoxue by his side in the name of trust. Now, Ma Yingjie was in the same boat with Luo Tianyun. What else could he do other than follow his boss to the death?
Ma Yingjie was anxious to get to the Great Wall Hotel, but he was also anxious to wait for Situ Lan's call. For a moment, the atmosphere in the car became very tense. Xiao Zhou knew that something big had happened. He didn't dare to say a word other than driving quietly. Other than Ma Yingjie's heartbeat, Ma Yingjie couldn't hear anything else.
Sisi was restless in the hotel. She couldn't get through to her mother's phone, and Ma Yingjie hadn't arrived yet. Her tears were dry and wet, wet and dry again. When her father was pushed through the metal door of the crematorium, her heart was broken into countless pieces. She loved her father, and she hated her father at the same time. In the blink of an eye, he was about to turn into ashes. Sisi didn't know how heartbroken she was at that moment. Her tears couldn't flow at that moment. She looked at the metal door like a fool, until her mother hugged her and said, "Child, if you want to cry, just cry."
Only then did Sisi cry out and throw herself into her mother's arms. Her tears were so big, but at this moment, they flowed especially quickly and fiercely.
That was her father. No matter how big of a crime he had committed, he was her biological father.
Sisi cried dry her tears. When her father's ashes were packed and she was held in her mother's arms, Sisi knew that her father would never appear again. Everything that belonged to her father was the ashes in this small box.
He died like ashes in a puff of smoke. At that moment, Sisi suddenly woke up and grew up. She even thought that she had to be strong. She had to protect her mother. In the future, she had to take care of her father's only family. However, when she opened her eyes the next day, her mother had been taken away by a stranger. She wanted to rush up to her mother, but she was forced back by her mother's gaze. She knew that her mother was telling her not to fight head-on. It was better to go in alone than both of them.
After her mother was taken away, Sisi cried again. She hugged her father's ashes and cried. At that moment, she thought of Ma Yingjie, the man she hated to death, the man she loved to death. Those words of advice rang in her ears. Ma Yingjie definitely knew how big of a problem her father was. Ma Yingjie also knew how big of a problem her mother was. Otherwise, Ma Yingjie wouldn't have warned her like that. At that moment, she realized that Ma Yingjie was sincerely protecting her. She didn't hate Ma Yingjie anymore. All of a sudden, she felt that other than Ma Yingjie, there was no one else she could trust and rely on.
Ma Yingjie would definitely tell her what should be told. As for what shouldn't be told, it was useless for her to ask. When Sisi came back this time, her heart was full of worries. But she didn't know what it was. She was looking forward to it. She knew. But at that moment, she realized that the person she was looking forward to was Ma Yingjie, the person she hated so much.
This was probably a kind of fate. To a woman, the moment she put herself on someone, that person would take root in the bottom of her heart and even grow into a towering tree.
Ma Yingjie finally came. When there was a knock on the door, Sisi rushed to the door. Ma Yingjie was really standing outside. When Ma Yingjie saw that Sisi's eyes were red from crying, he let out a long sigh. When he saw Sisi like this, his worry, his heartache, and his conflict all gushed out. He pulled Sisi into his arms and hugged Sisi tightly.
Sisi didn't care anymore. She cried in Ma Yingjie's arms again. As she cried, she said, "Big Brother, why did it turn out like this? Why? I lost my father. Am I supposed to lose my mother? Big Brother, what crime did they commit? Why? "
Ma Yingjie's heart squeezed into a ball. He hugged Sisi even tighter. Other than using his arms to protect and warm this girl, what else could he do? At this moment, Ma Yingjie realized that any words were useless, unnecessary, and even hypocritical.
