Liu Shouwang and Shi Zhilin rushed back from Beijing to attend Wu Yueying's funeral. Gong Daojin did not call Liu Lihai. At this time, Liu Lihai certainly could not call Gong Daojin. Perhaps staying in Beijing at this time was the best way for Gong Daojin.
Because Liu Shouwang and Shi Zhilin took the lead in the funeral, the main leaders of other units also attended. Although Liu Shouwang had always asked to keep a low profile, on the road to Wu Yueying's village, there was still a very long line of cars. And these cars all gathered together as if they had made an appointment.
Liu Lihai's heart jumped again. How could there suddenly be so many units and so many cars involved? But Liu Lihai just thought about it for a while and did not do anything. But on the day of Wu Yue's funeral, the photos of the leaders attending the funeral were once again posted on the Internet. Along with these photos, there were also nude photos of Liu Shouwang and Ruolan. The time when the nude photos were taken was when Ruolan returned to the guest house to work as a waitress. So after Ruolan was removed from the teaching team, she was targeted. But who was this person?
Liu Lihai was very confused by these nude photos. Was it not enough that Wu Yueying was dead? He also did not understand why the people of Lin County liked to stab people in the back so much. Who was following Liu Shouwang and Gong Daojin? In such a nude photo incident, the one who was hurt was often the heroine of the incident. Could Ruolan withstand this storm?
The name Ruolan always made Liu Lihai somewhat unable to let go of it.
If he had reminded Ruolan not to be too close to the officials on the night he found her, if he had not insisted on the education reform, if Ruolan had not returned to the guest house, would the secret between her and Liu Shouwang have been photographed? At the thought of this, Liu Lihai was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
In such an environment, he was really afraid of falling into someone else's trap. Moreover, it was a bottomless trap. At such a moment, other than feeling heavy, Liu Lihai couldn't find anyone to discuss with. At this moment, he really missed Leng Hongyan. If she was here, if she could give him some pointers, Liu Lihai thought, he would not be as blind as he was now.
The successive disturbances have pushed Lin County to the top of the waves. Wave after wave of reporters have come to Lin County to dig up news, especially on the provincial forum. Gossip posts about Liu Shouwang and Gong Daojin have been flying everywhere. Even Wu Yueying, who had already been buried, was not spared. How she had stored Gong Daojin's underwear in the fridge had been dug out. Even the nude photos of Gong Daojin's brother-in-law, Fang Daqing, and the sisters were posted. Liu Lihai looked at these various photos and words. While feeling sad, it reminded him of Qin Hong. At least the photos of Fang Daqing must have been provided by Qin Hong. He still couldn't find where Qin Hong was, but he believed that the people who posted all this behind the scenes were definitely a group. Who were they?
Liu Lihai became more and more confused.
The successive incidents in Lin County not only made Secretary Wu Haotian furious, but also alarmed the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government. Under their instructions, all the media in the province were not allowed to report on Lin County. Overnight, the reporters left Lin County; overnight, there were no more posts related to Lin County on the website. But overnight, the officials in Lin County were as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Fewer people played mahjong and went out to drink, and the restaurants on the street were deserted. Terror shrouded the sky over Lin County, and also shrouded the hearts of the officials who were close to Gong Daojin and Liu Shouwang.
At this time, the investigation team formed by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection entered Lin County. The entire Lin County seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and everyone had a sense of danger. Although Liu Lihai got off work normally, he felt that every breath of air was extremely oppressive, and he could not breathe.
At this time, Liu Lihai received a call from Gong Daojin. He asked Liu Lihai to go to his office immediately. Gong Daojin returned from Beijing, but Liu Lihai had no idea when he came back. At this time, facing Gong Daojin's sudden call, Liu Lihai could not tell what kind of mood he was in. He did not know what Gong Daojin was thinking or what kind of plans he had. He did not expect that after the investigation team entered Lin County, Gong Daojin would suddenly appear in Lin County. He thought that Gong Daojin would continue to stay in Beijing, at least until the storm passed before returning to Lin County.
Liu Lihai went to Gong Daojin's office. There was no one walking in the corridor, and the doors of each office were tightly closed, giving people a sense of infinite solemnity. This feeling made Liu Lihai breathless. The officialdom in his imagination and the officials in his imagination did not seem to be like this. But in the officialdom, as long as there was a rustle of grass in the wind, there was no official who did not want to protect himself. After experiencing so much, Liu Lihai believed that he would certainly become numb and even ruthless.
These days, he had been quietly reading the posts on the Internet. No one looked for him, and he did not inquire about others. His education reform was still waiting for the funds from the province and the city. There were several times when he wanted to call Qi Qiang to ask about Ruolan's situation. He did not know whether the girl who had moved his heart was doing well now. Picking up the phone, he felt that it was unnecessary. Besides, no news about her was equal to the best news.
Apart from talking with Sun Xiaomu on the phone about the situation in Lin County, Liu Lihai basically went to work or went back to the dormitory. Since the nude photos of him and Ruolan were exposed, Liu Shouwang had not shown up. On the other hand, compared to before, Shi Zhilin was a more active person. The living arrangements of the investigation team were also handled by Shi Zhilin alone. Without Liu Shouwang and Gong Daojin in Lin County, Shi Zhilin had become the tree that the officials of Lin County relied on the most.
Lin County had entered a critical period, and Liu Lihai wanted to keep himself out of it. At this time, the other officials were watching and waiting. As an expatriate official, he could not walk around at will. He felt that these days had been particularly long. He very much hoped that the investigation team would have a result as soon as possible. He really could not stand the dull atmosphere in the office. He still hoped that the work would be in full swing, that his days would be busy, and that there would be no traps that were calculated behind his back.
When Liu Lihai walked into Gong Daojin's office, he saw that Gong Daojin's face was livid, as if he wanted to kill someone. He was a little scared, but more than that, he was nervous. He stood in front of Gong Daojin and did not dare to say a word. Gong Daojin did not speak either. He threw a pile of photos in front of Liu Lihai. "Photos again. Why do people in Lin County love taking photos so much?" When Liu Lihai thought about this, he looked up at the photos and was dumbfounded. They turned out to be photos of him and Sun Xiaomu in Qinghe Village, and there were also photos of Gong Yue and Chao Zi being very intimate. What shocked Liu Lihai the most was that there were photos of Chao Zi accompanying Gong Yue to the gynecology and obstetrics department. It was Qin Hong again. Could it be that he was the one behind all these photos? "Why did he do that? Does he really have such a deep hatred for Gong Daojin? " "Then who is behind the photos of Liu Shouwang and Ruolan?" "What does Qin Hong want?"
Liu Lihai could not think of a reason. But Gong Daojin asked him angrily, "Who are you colluding with to mess with me?"
Liu Lihai could not argue. What could he say to Gong Daojin now? Gong Daojin was already suspicious of him. Could Gong Daojin believe what he said at this time? Except for silence, he did not know how to face the person who had made him have complicated feelings.
Gong Daojin saw that Liu Lihai did not speak, and he became even angrier. He had been in Lin County for so many years, and he had been through hundreds of storms, big and small. But none of them made him so isolated, so tired, and so hard to calm down as he was now. He hated people who deceived him the most, but he did not expect that Liu Lihai, who he loved like a son, had played a fake love game with his daughter. Except for him, everyone in Lin County knew about it. He was played by a little boy, which made him sadder than the nude photos of him and Wu Yueying being posted on the Internet. A man's romantic love was nothing in his eyes, but it made him sad and angry that a man was played by the person he trusted the most. And Liu Lihai not only played a fake love game with Xiaoyu, but also provided all the convenience for Xiaoyu to date Chao Zi. He had underestimated Liu Lihai. This boy was such a scheming person. Gong Daojin was scared. He did not know how much Liu Lihai knew about him. After he came back from Beijing, he heard that Wu Yueying had looked for Liu Lihai before she died. Why did she look for him? Too many things had happened during this period. He did not have time to sort them out, but so many photos were sent to him. Although he knew that someone must have set a deep trap, he never thought that Liu Lihai would be among them. Now he wanted to hear Liu Lihai's explanation with his own ears. He had prepared for the worst, but he could not let go of Fang Yezi and Xiaoyu.
"Tell me, what is going on?" Gong Daojin finally calmed himself down.
