"Is it Feng Sheng?" Lu Xinbo interrupted.
"This …" Xiao An Zi lowered his head and didn't know how to answer. After a while, he said, "The city and the province will need their help when it comes to maintaining stability or dealing with petitions. They are also the contractors for the demolition. "
This reminded Lu Xinbo that last time Xiao An Zi was talking about demolition. There was a residential building with more than 50 households in Jiangnan. Originally, it was not within the scope of renovation, but when the project started, it needed to be expanded, and this building had to be demolished. The conditions for the demolition were not settled and the residents petitioned everywhere. In the end, all the residents were tricked into getting into the car one night and being dragged away by force. They were thrown 500 kilometers away and when they came back, the building was gone. Some people petitioned and were sent to the black prison. Two of them even died. This was done by Brother Biao and his gang.
Lu Xinbo already knew what was going on without asking. He turned around and said to Deputy Director Li, "Hu Bayue will stay here with me. You go back immediately and finish up the work there. There can't be any more incidents."
Deputy Director Li nodded heavily and thought that Chief Lu was going to close the net.
Lu Xinbo didn't ask Hu Bayue for more information. He already knew what Hu Bayue knew. He just didn't want this troublemaking girl to cause any more trouble. Anything could happen during special times. After all, a reporter's power was limited. Besides, what Hu Bayue knew might not be the truth. Those who worked in the news industry, especially those with strong personalities, would often make mistakes based on first impressions. Lu Xinbo had three reasons for keeping Hu Bayue here. First, it was for her safety. Second, if Hu Bayue was here, someone would be anxious and come looking for her. Third, Hu Bayue was influential on the internet. You had to rely on the internet for some things.
"Stay here and don't go anywhere." He said to Hu Bayue.
"No, I have to go back to Wu Du. There are still many things that I haven't figured out." Hu Bayue was anxious. She was afraid that Lu Xinbo would put her under house arrest again.
"We don't need you at the scene. You will only cause more trouble if you go."
"Why are you thinking the same as them? I am a reporter and I have a mission." Hu Bayue picked up her laptop and was about to leave. Lu Xinbo gave Xiao An a look. Xiao An didn't use much strength and got Hu Bayue to another room.
"You can let her go online, but she can't leave the hotel," Lu Xinbo emphasized to Xiao An Zi.
"Don't worry, Chief. She won't leave this room." Xiao An Zi said very seriously. Lu Xinbo gave him a look of approval. It was getting harder and harder for him to leave this personal secretary.
It was already very late, but Lu Xinbo was not sleepy at all. He had finished what he had to do in Wujiang, and he had planned to go back. He had no choice but to return. As the head of a province, he couldn't stay outside for too long. It was fine to adopt a special strategy at a special time, but he couldn't deviate too much. Everyone in the province was waiting for him. He knew this better than anyone else. Although Zhu Tianyou didn't rush them, he was probably more anxious than anyone else. Of course, Lu Xinbo was also prepared for Zhu Tianyou to be patient. Over the past few days in Wu Jiang, Lu Xinbo had grasped quite a bit of information. Among them, there was one that made his heart palpitate. Sun Zijuan, the Secretary of the District Committee of Wu Du, had told him personally that someone had found out the real cause of the fire. It was not a mistake by the welders. On the day of the fire, there was no construction on the second floor. Sun Zijuan stuttered at first. She didn't dare to say it directly. Instead, she said, "Chief, please don't be angry. I shouldn't say these things, but I'm worried that someone will keep you in the dark and put you in a passive position in the future. Anyone can be passive in this matter, but you can't be passive. "
"Say it!" Lu Xinbo guessed something was wrong from Sun Zijuan's expression and words. He guessed that this matter was related to Li Huiling and Gu Qingming. As expected, under his repeated questioning, Sun Zijuan told him the most important information of the investigation team. The fire that happened in Wu Du was really ordered by Li Huiling and Gu Qingming.
Li Huiling! Lu Xinbo was furious. Once his suspicions were confirmed, he would be shocked. Moreover, Sun Zijuan clearly said that Luo Tianyun had ordered the Public Security Bureau of Wu Du to search for the arsonist. Once the person was found, the truth would be revealed to the world.
Lu Xinbo grabbed the phone and scolded Li Huiling in front of Sun Zijuan. Li Huiling was anxious. He wanted to go to Wu Jiang to explain to him in person. Lu Xinbo said firmly, "There's no need to explain. Huiling, listen to me. If the investigation proves that you are related to the fire in the future, you will bear all the responsibility. No one can help you!" Probably because he had never spoken like this in front of Li Huiling, Li Huiling was afraid. He repeatedly emphasized that she was not allowed to come to Wu Jiang, but she still rushed over that very night.
Lu Xinbo and Li Huiling talked for almost half the night. Li Huiling apologized a lot, but she still refused to admit that she was the one who ordered the fire.
"You don't want to admit it?" Lu Xinbo was furious. His time was not to be wasted, nor was it to be used for useless work. He was a person who could not tolerate sand in his eyes. No matter who it was, they must be sincere in front of him. If you have a big problem, as long as you say it, he will think of a way to solve it. If you hide it from him and treat him like a fool, then you have to think about who you are.
"Go back!" Lu Xinbo ordered Li Huiling to leave.
Li Huiling was stunned. All these years, she had always felt good about herself in front of Lu Xinbo. Every time she saw Lu Xinbo, she would dress up very young and beautiful. What should have happened had indeed happened. This increased her confidence. She thought that in this life, Lu Xinbo would love and protect her like the first time. He would protect her like a big tree, give her shade, and give her everything she wanted.
"Brother …" Li Huiling's lips squirmed, and her chest violently moved up and down. Her face turned from red to white, then from white to black, and then to green. It seemed that she was nervous. Since she knew Lu Xinbo, Li Huiling was rarely nervous in front of Lu Xinbo. She often had a sense of superiority, like a little sister in front of her brother, and the natural tenderness of a woman in front of a man. But today, the situation had changed. Li Huiling was a little confused.
"Leave this place, leave immediately." Seeing Li Huiling standing still, Lu Xinbo angrily said: "Li Huiling, listen to me. Don't think that I will support you in everything. My patience has a limit. Those who play with fire will burn themselves. This is the iron law!"
Li Huiling's face turned pale. She looked at Lu Xinbo sadly, picked up her handbag, and sadly left. Lu Xinbo had personally chosen that beautiful handbag for her in a luxury shop when they were shopping in England.
After chasing Li Huiling away, Lu Xinbo immediately asked Xiao An Zi to contact the relevant authorities. He must verify Sun Zijuan's report. "We can't be careless about this. If the other party plays this card, everything will be over." Lu Xinbo suddenly felt a little depressed, and his confidence was much less than before.
Xiao An Zi quickly reported to Lu Xinbo that Wu Du's side had not found the arsonist, and they were still investigating secretly.
"Alright, I'll go back now." At that moment, Lu Xinbo knew that he had fallen into a trap. He must rush back to the province as soon as possible and stabilize the situation before the other party retaliates. He believed that the other party must have an ulterior motive for finding out the cause of the fire so quickly, but they did not announce it. Needless to say, the other party must be trying to hinder him. The other party had already seen his cards and knew what he was going to do next. The other party quickly adjusted their strategy and started to deal with him. It was all Li Huiling's fault. He was too daring. He was supposed to be taking the initiative, but he suddenly became passive and troublesome!
Hu Bayue's appearance changed the situation, and Lu Xinbo's heart suddenly felt relieved. The water route was blocked, and the dry road was suddenly cleared. The other party had stolen his two peach trees and sent him two pears. These two pears were far more useful than the two peach trees. Not only could they quench his thirst, but they could also treat illnesses. After settling Hu Bayue down, Lu Xinbo wanted to relax. He had been really tired these few days. He had been working day and night. Other than easing his relationship with Secretary Wu Jiang and the mayor, he had also dealt with a lot of things.
Now, everything was fine. Li Huiling's heart, which had been filled with shock, finally calmed down. Lu Xinbo asked Xiao An Zi to run some hot water. He wanted to take a comfortable hot bath to get rid of his tiredness and organize his thoughts. Xiao An Zi was done quickly. He carefully placed the bathrobe at the side and turned on the music. The hotel's bathtub was equipped with music. If the guests wanted to listen to something, they only needed to press a button, and the water would play beautiful music.
As Lu Xinbo soaked in the hot water, he completely relaxed his body. Thinking about his trip to Wujiang, he managed to ease his tense relationship with Wujiang. Regardless of Secretary Wang Ruisen or Mayor Wu Sichen, neither of them expected that Su Tao's attitude would be so amiable and confident in Wujiang's work.
Lu Xinbo's actions were a little unusual in Wujiang. In the past, no matter where he went, there were many voices of criticism and few voices of praise. But this time, it was different. Su Tao's attitude was mainly praise and encouragement. Facing Su Tao's criticism, Secretary Wang Ruisen and Mayor Wu Sichen felt a little uncomfortable. In the past, they didn't receive such good treatment, especially Wu Sichen. It was especially so for Wu Sichen. He had heard from more than one source that Lu Xinbo was trying to replace him with Ma Ningke. However, he never expected that Lu Xinbo's attitude towards him would be exceptionally good. There was a day when Lu Xinbo passionately toasted Wu Sichen and said that it had been hard on him for the past two years. Wu Sichen's contribution to Wu Sichen's rapid development was also due to him. Su Tao's words made Wu Sichen burst with joy. At night, he got his secretary, Xiao An Zi, to make arrangements. He said that he wanted to sit alone with Su Tao for a foot bath and massage. In the beginning, Xiao An Zi did not agree to it. He said that Su Tao had instructed him not to meet anyone at night. However, Wu Sichen wasn't willing to give up and pestered Tong An, insisting that Xiao An Zi go and ask for instructions. However, he never expected that Lu Xinbo would agree to it. Wu Sichen arranged for them to go to a Shangshan Foot Spa, and he accompanied Lu Xinbo for a foot bath. When Lu Xinbo wanted to cupping, Wu Sichen got busy. When the two of them got on the bed, they started to talk.
Lu Xinbo replied, "I have too many social engagements, and my body is filled with alcohol. It's too humid, so cupping is beneficial to the body."
