Gong Yue's tears continued to flow onto Gong Daojin's body, but she didn't wipe them away. She knew that this was the last time she would be so close to her father. As long as their deal was successful, her father would immediately be sent to the crematorium, and he would immediately disappear from her eyes and turn into a pile of ashes. To be precise, he would be turned into a Chaozi's three-and-a-half-year sentence.
When Liu Lihai walked into the mortuary, Warden Huang came up to him and asked Liu Lihai, "Mayor Liu, have you decided?"
"We accept this condition, but please prepare the materials I want immediately, and they must be stamped with valid seals." Liu Lihai made his request.
"You can cremate him first, and we'll handle these procedures right away." Warden Huang saw that Liu Lihai had finally accepted this condition, and the boulder in his heart was lifted. He looked at Liu Lihai in surprise and asked.
"I have to see the documents stamped with valid seals before I can cremate my father's body. Otherwise, there's no need to talk." With that said, Liu Lihai was about to return to the mortuary.
"Mayor Liu, please wait." Warden Huang was anxious. The higher-ups had already ordered them to cremate Gong Daojin's body as soon as possible, or else there would be more problems.
Liu Lihai stopped and looked at Warden Huang. "We will definitely get what you want. Can you do me a favor and cremate the body now?"
Liu Lihai couldn't let go. Even though the experts led by Yao Haidong had already obtained the autopsy report, their intention was only for their own sake. They probably wouldn't consider it for the benefit of Fang Yezi and Gong Yue.
"How about this, Warden Huang? Discuss with the higher-ups and get them to send us a fax with a valid stamp. That way, it'll be easier for us to explain, right?" Liu Lihai had no choice but to give Warden Huang a suggestion.
"Yes, we'll do it right away." Warden Huang was like a prison treasure. Why didn't he think of this? Hence, he waved goodbye to Liu Lihai and led a few people to handle the things Liu Lihai wanted.
Liu Lihai returned to the mortuary. Fang Yezi had already convinced Gong Yue to accept the reality. As soon as he saw Liu Lihai enter, he asked, "Have you finished negotiating?"
"Yes, they went to get the relevant materials. Dad will probably be cremated soon. I'll call my chauffeur and ask him to rush over. As soon as dad's on fire, we'll go back, okay? "Liu Lihai looked at Fang Yezi with a probing gaze.
"Let's go back soon. I don't feel at ease here," Fang Yezi said.
"I'll go prepare." Liu Lihai walked out of the morgue and called Yao Haidong first. Yao Haidong was still on the way. He asked Liu Lihai, "Any progress?"
"Yes, Secretary-General. One hundred thousand yuan in compensation and three and a half years of reduced sentence for Chaozi, "Liu Lihai stated his conditions.
"That's a good offer," Yao Haidong said.
"They need to be cremated immediately." Liu Lihai explained the situation.
"I'll report to the Secretary. Wait for a moment." Yao Haidong hung up the phone. These corpses were the best kidnapping weapon. Of course, they had already obtained the autopsy results and the recording. Even if they continued to defend themselves, it would be useless.
Secretary Guo Baoxin picked up the phone as soon as the call went through. Yao Haidong repeated Liu Lihai's words and said, "Please give me instructions, Secretary."
"Very well done. If you can cremate them, then cremate them. We don't have time to waste on such a small matter. After this matter is settled, come to my office. " Secretary Guo Baoxin mentioned that he wanted Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai to go to his office. It seemed that he had begun to trust them.
"Okay." Yao Haidong was in a good mood at this time. He quickly responded to Secretary Guo Baoxin and the other party hung up the phone.
Yao Haidong called Liu Lihai. Once the phone was connected, Yao Haidong said, "Xiao Liu, if you can cremate them, then cremate them as soon as possible. Come back soon. There are still many things waiting for us here. Also, the Secretary said that this matter was handled well. After it is settled as soon as possible, he will summon us. "
Yao Haidong still couldn't hide the joy in his heart. He happily said to Liu Lihai through the phone. Liu Lihai couldn't be happy. Yes, he never dreamed that he would be summoned by the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. This day was placed in front of him, but he felt suffocated.
"What's wrong?" Yao Haidong saw that Liu Lihai didn't reply and asked.
"No, nothing. I understand. I will settle this matter as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible. "Liu Lihai was woken up by Yao Haidong's question and quickly explained.
Yao Haidong hung up the phone, but Liu Lihai's footsteps became extremely heavy. He wasn't even as good as Gong Yue. Gong Yue would cry when she exchanged Gong Daojin's life for Chaozi's freedom, and Chaozi would also feel guilty towards Gong Daojin. But what about him? Didn't he also use Gong Daojin's life to participate in their deal?
Liu Lihai couldn't cry to his heart's content like Gong Yue. What he needed to do now was to wait for Warden Huang's materials and cremate Gong Daojin. Then, he would step on Gong Daojin's corpse to find a stronger backer.
"Despicable and shameless." Liu Lihai felt that he was such a person now. Even though he scolded himself, he still called his driver, Xiao Zhou, and asked him to come to Lin City to pick them up. They must leave this place with despicable deals tonight. Liu Lihai didn't want to stay a minute longer.
As soon as Liu Lihai returned to the mortuary, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Warden Huang. He hurried out of the mortuary. At the other end of the corridor, Warden Huang waved at him. He walked over step by step. He wanted to take the piece of paper, just like how he took the fax from Shi Zhilin. In that instant, everything would sink into the darkest darkness, never to see the light again.
Liu Lihai didn't know how he got over it. He didn't feel any sense of achievement. Even though his and Yao Haidong's handling of the matter had been approved by the provincial party secretary, it still couldn't offset the guilt he felt at that moment.
Warden Huang also came over and handed the fax to Liu Lihai. Liu Lihai looked at it. It was all written by him, and there were no discrepancies. He said, "Thank you, Warden Huang. We'll cremate it right away."
"Little brother, that's right. We're all people who work, and it's also difficult for us. Thank you, little brother. I'll treat you to a drink again if there's a chance. "Warden Huang reached out and patted Liu Lihai's shoulder, looking very affectionate.
Now that the matter was resolved, everyone returned to being friends. This was officialdom. It was a place that Liu Lihai had to adapt to, and it was a place that he couldn't retreat from. Not to mention the fact that he had nowhere to hide, even if he could return to Beijing, he would still be a deserter according to Sun Xiaomu. He had already participated in all kinds of transactions, and he had already been tainted with the secret of the organization. He didn't want to think about it anymore. He wanted to make the secret even stronger and heavier.
As Liu Lihai thought about this, he smiled at Warden Huang and said, "When you go to Lin County or Jingjiang, let me know. I'll definitely have a drink with Big Brother Huang."
"Alright." Warden Huang reached out his hand, and so did Liu Lihai. This pair of hands, which had been at odds with each other an hour ago, now shook each other tightly.
After shaking hands, Warden Huang asked Director Wu to help with the cremation and left the hospital with the others. At the same time, he also returned home.
Since all the conditions that needed to be negotiated had been negotiated, the rest of the cremation became extraordinarily simple. Director Wu called a car, and the group went to the cremation plant. When the body was pushed into the slide, Fang Yezi cried as if she was torn apart, "Old Gong, Old Gong." That kind of miserable cry made Liu Lihai's tears flow out of his eyes again. He had let them down, and he had let Gong Daojin down.
Liu Lihai didn't try to persuade Fang Yezi and Gong Yue. He let them cry because Gong Daojin was about to turn into a pile of ashes. This was the last time they had to spend with him.
After some time, Liu Lihai's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Xiao Zhou's. Xiao Zhou had already arrived in Lin City. It seemed like he drove very fast on the road.
"Xiao Zhou," Liu Lihai called.
"Magistrate Liu, I know everything. Where are you? I've already arrived in Lin City, "Xiao Zhou said very considerately.
Liu Lihai didn't expect Xiao Zhou to say this. He knew everything? Then, Lin County also knew? Obviously, this was deliberately released by Shi Zhilin. Was he so eager to stabilize his position in Lin County?
When Liu Lihai thought of this, a strong surge of anger surged in his heart. "Shi Zhilin and Qin Hong, I will make you pay sooner or later," Liu Lihai made up his mind, but he told Xiao Zhou their address.
When Xiao Zhou's car arrived at the cremation plant, Gong Daojin's body had already been cremated and put into a black urn. Such a tall man finally left behind such a small black box.
Fang Yezi didn't cry at this time. She held the black box tightly. Gong Yue didn't cry either. She held Fang Yezi's arm and slowly walked to Liu Lihai's car. After they got in the car, Liu Lihai shook Director Wu's hand symbolically and returned to the car without looking back. He let Xiao Zhou drive.
Liu Lihai sat in the front seat. He originally wanted to ask about the rumors in Lin County, but he was worried that Fang Yezi couldn't bear it, so he swallowed his words. Instead, Xiao Zhou asked, "Magistrate Liu, are we going back to Lin County?"
This question stumped Liu Lihai. He turned back to look at Fang Yezi. Her eyes were already red and swollen from crying. She was immersed in her own pain.
Liu Lihai had to look at Gong Yue. Gong Yue obviously heard Xiao Zhou's words and asked, "Did Lin County know about my father?"
Xiao Zhou didn't expect Gong Yue to ask this question. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, so he looked at Liu Lihai. Liu Lihai answered, "Roughly."
"Let's go back to our home in the provincial capital first, and tomorrow we'll go back to our hometown in Lin County. My father still likes Ye Luogen." Gong Yue at this time seemed like an adult.
