Lu Tao knew that Wei Gangqiang was telling the truth. If he went to the hospital now, the doctor would definitely not allow him to visit Lin Susu. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go in the afternoon."
Around eleven o 'clock. Chen Chen hurried to the Furong District Public Security Bureau. After seeing Lu Tao, she first looked him up and down. Seeing that his eyes were red and tired, she knew that he was mentally and physically exhausted after a night of torment. She couldn't help but feel distressed and angry. She turned to look at Luo Zhihui and said, "Mayor Luo, have you caught the criminals who framed Lu Tao? They're so insidious and vicious. If it weren't for you, Lu Tao would've been killed by them. "
Before Luo Zhihui could answer, Wei Gangqiang stepped forward and stood beside her. He smiled and reached out his hand. "??? Okay, I'm Wei Gangqiang from the Provincial Public Security Bureau. Lu Tao's father is my old comrade-in-arms. In my heart, he's my nephew. Don't worry, the people who framed Lu Tao have been caught. The Municipal Public Security Bureau is interrogating them. I believe they'll be severely punished by the law. "
Chen Chen? She was stunned for a moment. After thinking carefully, she remembered that Lu Tao had mentioned Wei Gangqiang on the phone yesterday morning. He said that he wanted to treat her to lunch because she was going on a business trip.
Therefore, she smiled and shook hands with Wei Gangqiang. She said politely, "Hello, Director Wei. I've heard about you from Lu Tao. Thank you for inviting me to lunch. But today's situation is a bit special. I'm afraid I can't have lunch with you until Lu Tao's case is over. How about I treat you and Mayor Luo to lunch next time? "
Wei Gangqiang didn't want to give up this opportunity to eat lunch with Chen Chen. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "?? It's still early. It was still early, and Min Xiaojun's and Lu Tao's cases were not complicated. The suspects would probably confess by noon. As long as it's proven that Lu Tao was framed, his case will basically be over. All that's left is for the Public Security Bureau to apologize to him and restore his reputation. Besides, no matter what, we have to eat lunch, right? We can't work on an empty stomach. Old Luo, don't you think so? Hahaha! "
Luo Zhihui hurriedly echoed, "??? Lu Tao had a rough night last night, and he didn't have breakfast this morning. Look at how haggard he is now. Now, there were people working on those two cases. Chief Wei and I were fine. Lu Tao had already made a statement and went to the hospital for a check-up. He didn't need to stay in the district police station anymore. Why don't I treat everyone? Let's find a clean and refreshing restaurant nearby and eat something. "
Wei Gangqiang quickly said, "Old Luo, you should have heard it just now. Actually, I've already made an appointment to treat her to a meal yesterday. I've also booked a private room at the Lanyuan Hotel near the Finance Department, Room 816. Let's go and eat together later! "
Wei Gangqiang and Luo Zhihui were very close, so they did not avoid each other. Now, he needed Luo Zhihui's help. Wasn't he afraid that Luo Zhihui would find out? Did he just tell Luo Zhihui that he had made an appointment with Chen long ago? He told her about the meal.
Luo Zhihui knew that something had happened to his brother-in-law. Was he trying to curry favor with Chen? He must have something important to ask her for help, so she nodded understandingly and said, "Alright, then I won't fight with Director Wei for the treat."
Chen? He looked at Lu Tao hesitantly and asked, "What about you? Are you in the mood to eat outside? "
Lu Tao smiled and said, "Now that I've figured out my problem, I'm relaxed and happy, but I'm starving. Why wouldn't I be in the mood to eat outside?"
Chen? She glanced at him and muttered, "Heartless guy." Then, she said to Wei Gangqiang, "Since Director Wei has already booked a private room, then I'll accept."
Wei Gangqiang nodded happily. Then, he tilted his head and thought for a while. As if he suddenly thought of something important, he said to Luo Zhihui, "Old Luo, Li Zhangzhou is the deputy mayor of Furong District, the secretary of the District Public Security Bureau, and the director. He's a municipal official. He's now suspected of violating the law. According to the authority of a government official, he should report to Shaxing's Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Municipal Committee. I suggest that you report the situation to Secretary Wu Zhongqi of the Municipal Committee for Discipline Inspection. If possible, invite Secretary Wu over for lunch this afternoon. We can discuss how to investigate this case together. "
Actually, Luo Zhihui already knew that Wei Gangqiang's brother-in-law was in trouble. He also knew that Wei Gangqiang had been trying his best to get to know Wu Zhongqi, the secretary of the Municipal Committee for Discipline Inspection. Moreover, Luo Zhihui also heard about the special relationship between Wu Zhongqi and Deputy Secretary Chen Dengfeng.
Therefore, when he heard that Wei Gangqiang suddenly wanted to invite Wu Zhongqi over for lunch to "discuss the case," Luo Zhihui immediately realized that Wei Gangqiang was trying his best to curry favor with Wu Zhongqi. His ultimate goal was to get close to Chen? So that he could connect him to Wu Zhongqi …
Therefore, he quickly picked up his phone and said, "Okay, I'll call Secretary Wu now and see if he's free at noon."
After that, he dialed Wu Zhongqi's cell phone number and briefly reported to him about Li Zhangzhou and the others' suspected violation of law and discipline. Finally, he said, "Secretary Wu, our provincial department's Deputy Director Wei is currently supervising this case in the Furong District Bureau. There are some things that I would like to discuss with you face to face and have lunch with you. Do you have time at noon?"
Hearing him mention Deputy Director Wei, Wu Zhongqi asked cautiously, "Old Luo, is Deputy Director Wei Gangqiang Comrade Wei Gangqiang?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's him."
Wu Zhongqi thought for a moment and said, "Old Luo, logically speaking, since you've personally invited me to lunch, I should not be impolite. However, Comrade Wei Gangqiang's brother-in-law, Cao Jun, is suspected of serious violations of the law and is currently under investigation by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. His brother-in-law's problem is very serious and the case is very important, so I've been personally supervising this case. If Comrade Wei Gangqiang is present at lunch today, I feel that it's not very appropriate for me to attend. I might be criticized by some people with ulterior motives. This will have a negative impact on me, Comrade Wei Gangqiang, and even you. You can say this to Comrade Wei Gangqiang directly. I'm a straightforward person and won't beat around the bush. If I've offended you or Comrade Wei Gangqiang in any way, please forgive me. "
Luo Zhihui did not know what else to say, so he could only hang up and shake his head at Wei Gangqiang with a bitter smile. However, because Chen Zhao and Lu Tao were present, he did not tell Wei Gangqiang what Wu Zhongqi said.
