Liu Shouwang definitely wouldn't be able to stay in Lin County. As for where Secretary Wu Haotian would arrange for him, Yao Haidong didn't know. He only knew that Leng Hongyan made a deal with Secretary Wu Haotian for him. She retired from officialdom, and Yao Haidong joined the Standing Committee and became the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee. The position of Lin County's Secretary would definitely fall into Shi Zhilin's hands. It was said that Shi Zhilin was very close to Beijing. The groundbreaking ceremony for the Lin County Martyrs Cemetery project would be held soon. Not only would Secretary Wu Haotian be present, but the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee would also be there. This was related to Lin County's unique resources. However, Liu Lihai obviously didn't know such a big thing and foolishly exposed his relationship with Gong Daojin to everyone. However, Yao Haidong didn't expose Liu Lihai. He just made a deal with Liu Lihai. He would help Liu Lihai inquire about Gong Daojin, and Liu Lihai had to go back to Jingjiang to see off Leng Hongyan.
Liu Lihai agreed to Yao Haidong's conditions. Yao Haidong then told him that he would see off Leng Hongyan at the Phoenix Hall on the third floor of Taoyuan tomorrow night. When he came tomorrow, Yao Haidong would tell him some news about Gong Daojin.
After Yao Haidong hung up, Liu Lihai called Fang Yezi. He comforted her over the phone and told her that he would go back to Jingjiang tomorrow to inquire about Gong Daojin. Fang Yezi's voice sounded like she was crying again. Obviously, she must have cried at home. Gong Yue and Chao Zi still hadn't turned on their phones. She suddenly lost two of her closest relatives. This would be a huge blow to any woman. Liu Lihai understood this. He also hoped to do his best to comfort Fang Yezi. Although he also knew that it was not good for him to ask about Gong Daojin all over the world, he still believed that regardless of whether it was as a person or as an official, he could not be ungrateful, and he could not push a wall when it was down.
After Liu Lihai put down the phone, he turned on the computer. If there were no computers, he didn't know how his colleagues spent their time with their office doors closed every day. Sun Xiaomu was also in front of the computer. His profile picture flashed and Sun Xiaomu's question followed. "How's the situation?"
Liu Lihai didn't know how to answer Sun Xiaomu. The current situation in Lin County was unclear, and he thought it was very complicated. But he didn't want Sun Xiaomu to worry, so he typed two words to Sun Xiaomu: It's okay.
After a while, Sun Xiaomu sent over a long line of words: Keep pretending! Liu Lihai, you're still not willing to tell me the truth at this time! I might know more than you do, but I hope that you can tell me the truth. Everything.
Liu Lihai felt strange again. How did Sun Xiaomu know about what happened in Lin County? He asked her: How many people in Lin County do you know? How could you possibly know what happened here?
Sun Xiaomu was a little annoyed. She said: I'm worried about you, do you know that? I pay attention to the news in Lin County every day, do you know that?
Liu Lihai looked at the words sent by Sun Xiaomu and was very touched. He told her: Don't worry about me, okay? If it really doesn't work, I'll go to the provincial capital to look for you. Have you found a job?
Sun Xiaomu didn't answer Liu Lihai's question and continued: Tell me everything about Lin County.
Liu Lihai had no choice but to tell Sun Xiaomu everything he knew. However, he didn't say that he was going to see Leng Hongyan the next day. The main thing was that he hadn't decided whether he should let Sun Xiaomu know about it or not. He also couldn't decide Sun Xiaomu's attitude towards Leng Hongyan, so he thought it was better not to tell her for the time being.
Sun Xiaomu didn't express her opinion. She just told Liu Lihai to be as careful as possible. As for Gong Yue and Chao Zi, Sun Xiaomu hoped that they would love each other like they did in Lin County. But if they left Lin County, would Chao Zi still cherish Gong Yue? And how would Chao Zi and Gong Yue live outside? Would they really have to live incognito for the rest of their lives? Besides, in today's world where the Internet was so advanced, could they live incognito? Liu Lihai really couldn't figure out these problems.
When Liu Lihai and Sun Xiaomu were talking about Gong Yue and Chao Zi, his phone rang. Liu Lihai took it out and saw that it was a very unfamiliar number. Liu Lihai's heart trembled for no reason. He hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button. Gong Yue's voice came through. He was very surprised and asked Gong Yue anxiously, "Where are you?"
Gong Yue didn't tell Liu Lihai where she was. Instead, she asked him over the phone, "How are my mom and dad? My dad's phone has been switched off. "
"Don't you know that your dad was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Liu Lihai asked Gong Yue.
"What? Brother Liu, what are you talking about? Why was my dad taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection? What exactly happened? "Gong Yue anxiously asked Liu Lihai over the phone.
"Didn't your dad let you and Chao Zi go?" Liu Lihai was confused. Gong Daojin really had nothing to do with Gong Yue and Chao Zi's disappearance?
"Brother Liu, it's a long story. You must take good care of my mom. If there's a chance, I will definitely repay you." Gong Yue dropped this sentence and hung up the phone. When Liu Lihai called again, he found that Gong Yue called him from a public phone.
Liu Lihai told Sun Xiaomu about Gong Yue's call. Sun Xiaomu quickly called Liu Lihai. She said to him over the phone, "The fire incident actually alarmed Beijing. Because the foundation laying ceremony of the Cemetery of Martyrs has been set, no matter how big the incident is, it will definitely be suppressed. However, this incident will definitely have an outcome. Chao Zi abandoned this mess and ran away. He can hide for the first time, but can he hide for the next time? Sigh, Chao Zi, oh Chao Zi, he wants to kill Gong Yue's father! "
"Xiaomu, who did you hear this from? Why don't I know anything at all? Also, how big is Secretary Gong's problem? "Liu Lihai asked Sun Xiaomu.
"Secretary Gong has financial problems. I don't know the specific amount. Don't worry about the source of this information. What you need to do now is to try your best to carry out your educational reform. "Sun Xiaomu said these words like an old official, which made Liu Lihai feel very strange. He had only received a phone call. How did Sun Xiaomu suddenly know so many things?
"The report has been sent, but there has been no follow-up. I can only wait." Liu Lihai said to Sun Xiaomu consciously. He wanted to test Sun Xiaomu and see who she was so familiar with. He wanted to see if she could also quickly find out when the funds would be in place.
"Don't worry and do your job. I will help you find out about the funds." Sun Xiaomu said without thinking.
Liu Lihai said, "En," and Sun Xiaomu hung up the phone. However, a question lingered in Liu Lihai's mind. Sun Xiaomu was definitely not the simple girl he imagined. Could it be that she had a relationship with the city's leaders? She would also go to the city's leaders? Liu Lihai's brain "buzzed". He didn't dare and was unwilling to continue thinking. If Sun Xiaomu didn't have a government official, where did she get the information from? Moreover, it was information that he couldn't find out at all. Even people like Zhao Guangming couldn't get the information. How did Sun Xiaomu know?
Liu Lihai's heart was heavy to the extreme. On one hand, Chao Zi and Gong Yue's phone call suddenly stopped. On the other hand, there was Sun Xiaomu's inexplicable source of information. Liu Lihai didn't have any mood to go to work.
Liu Lihai didn't know how he spent the day. The next day, he drove alone to Jingjiang City. He saw Leng Hongyan in Taoyuan Phoenix Hall. Leng Hongyan had aged a lot and lost a lot of weight.
What Liu Lihai didn't expect was that Yao Haidong wasn't in Phoenix Hall. When he called Yao Haidong, Yao Haidong didn't say his location. He thought that Yao Haidong and Leng Hongyan were together. Now, Liu Lihai knew that Yao Haidong deliberately left some space for him and Leng Hongyan to talk.
When Leng Hongyan saw Liu Lihai, he nodded and asked him to sit. Liu Lihai wanted to say "Hello, Minister Leng", but he felt that it was inappropriate. He wanted to call Sister Leng, but he couldn't. He felt very awkward. However, Leng Hongyan acted as if nothing had happened between them. She looked at him calmly and called him Mayor Liu. She said, "Mayor Liu, I'm very grateful that you came to send me off despite your busy schedule. Sit down, don't just stand there like a fool. "
Liu Lihai sat down. When he looked up, he found that he was sitting opposite Leng Hongyan. He wanted to move a seat. He felt even more awkward when they faced each other. Leng Hongyan seemed to see through his thoughts. She stood up and called for the waiter to serve tea. This was supposed to be done by Liu Lihai, but she did it first. When he sat down again, Leng Hongyan's position changed a bit. Now, he was in the same position as Liu Lihai. The more Leng Hongyan behaved like this, the more uneasy Liu Lihai was. At the same time, the awkwardness came faster and deeper.
When the tea was served, Leng Hongyan took a sip. Liu Lihai also took a sip. In the private room, besides the sound of drinking tea, there was only the sound of them exhaling. Leng Hongyan didn't ask him again. He didn't know what to say at the moment. He hoped that Yao Haidong would come soon. At least, it wouldn't be so quiet with another person around. This kind of quiet atmosphere was a kind of torture for Liu Lihai. He regretted coming to Jingjiang. Based on his speculation about Sun Xiaomu, Sun Xiaomu could also inquire about Gong Daojin's information. Why did she make this deal with Yao Haidong? He felt like Zhu Bajie was looking into the mirror. He didn't see a human inside or outside.
Time passed by minute by minute. However, Liu Lihai felt that time was frozen. He peeked at the time several times. In a flash, half an hour had passed. Yao Haidong still hadn't arrived. He felt that it would be a bit unreasonable if he didn't speak. He didn't know how to address Leng Hongyan. He said directly, "Congratulations on your promotion." In fact, he didn't know if Leng Hongyan was promoted.
Leng Hongyan smiled indifferently. Liu Lihai could only laugh dryly. After laughing, Leng Hongyan said, "I'm going abroad."
