Hearing Ou Qingchang's words, Lu Tao finally believed that Liu Hong wasn't lying. He couldn't help but be astonished. It took him a while to remember that he should thank Ou Qingchang, but he had already hung up.
A few minutes later, Lu Tao received a call from Zhou Youliang, "Little Lu, did you go to Secretary Zhou about the fight at O 'Neal's Hotel? Liu Hong just called me and said that it was a misunderstanding and that he's going to withdraw the charges against you. At the same time, he also apologized to me and said that he shouldn't have reported to the higher-ups that I was covering for you. What's going on? Why did he suddenly do a 180 degree turn? "
Scratching his head, Lu Tao replied in confusion, "Bureau Chief Zhou, I'm also confused as to what's going on. Just now, Liu Hong also called me. He said that he wanted to find some time to talk to me. After I rejected him, he didn't get angry. Instead, he told me that he was going to withdraw the charges against me. He also said that he would help me get rid of the punishment. A few minutes ago, Director Ou from the Songshan City Local Taxation Bureau called me and said that they're going to suggest that the Municipal Bureau's Party Committee consider withdrawing the disciplinary action. I still don't know what he's planning, but I haven't gone to Secretary Zhou for help. "
Zhou Youliang pondered for a moment and said, "Little Lu, no matter what the reason is, no matter what Liu Hong's intentions are, it's a good thing that he withdrew the charges against you and helped you get rid of the disciplinary action. Maybe he carefully weighed the pros and cons and felt that you have Secretary Zhou's support and I'm about to take over the County Public Security Bureau. If he continues to go against you, there might be unpredictable consequences. So he decided to stop the war and make peace with you. I think that's the most likely possibility. "
Lu Tao also felt that his analysis was reasonable and nodded, "If that's really the case, then I don't need to go to Secretary Zhou. I'll just wait and see."
After hanging up, Lu Tao suddenly remembered that Du Xiaoyu wanted to invite him to Shuangxiong Mountain last night, but he rejected her because he had to go to Secretary Zhou today. Now that he had time, why not invite her to Shuangxiong Mountain to return the favor?
So he immediately picked up the phone and dialed Du Xiaoyu's number. After the call connected, he smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, are you up? Yesterday, you wanted me to invite you to Shuangxiong Mountain, but I didn't agree because I was considering going to Songshan today. But now, I don't have to go to Songshan anymore. How about I treat you to Shuangxiong Mountain? I already owe you two big favors, so I have to return them, hahaha! "
Du Xiaoyu was silent for a moment before she asked faintly, "You accompanied me to the Shuangxiong Mountains to return my favor? If you didn't owe me a favor, you wouldn't have played with me, right? "
Lu Tao was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Little Yu, I was just joking. Don't take it to heart! Are you still at Brother Song's house? Why don't I call a taxi to pick you up and let this taxi take us there? "
Du Xiaoyu was silent for a moment and said, "Today is my mother's birthday. I'm going to sweep her grave with my family and pay respects to her. Her grave is at Du Village in Ping Town, which is also my grandmother's house. It's quite far from the county. We may stay at my uncle's house tonight. You have to go to work the day after tomorrow. Why don't we go to Shuangxiong Mountain next week? "
It turned out that after Du Xiaoyu returned home last night, under the persuasion of her two sisters, she finally called Liu Hong father, which made Liu Hong ecstatic. Then, Liu Feiyan and Liu Shuangyan struck while the iron was hot and repeatedly persuaded Du Xiaoyu to stay at home.
In the beginning, Du Xiaoyu didn't say anything. Until midnight, Du Xiaoyu reluctantly nodded, but she made two requests to Liu Hong. First, the O 'Neal Group would withdraw the accusation against Lu Tao and promise not to pursue the matter of Lu Tao injuring the hotel staff. Second, Liu Hong would come forward to help Lu Tao revoke the punishment.
At this time, Liu Hong only hoped that his younger daughter would return to the Liu family. Now that Lu Tao was his daughter's boyfriend, it was a good opportunity to shake hands with Lu Tao. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to agree to his daughter's request.
Coincidentally, it was Du Renfang's birthday the next day. Before Du Renfang committed suicide, she had left a message that after she died, her ashes would not be buried in the Liu family's ancestral grave, but in her maiden home. Liu Hong was in pain, so he did everything according to her last words …
When Lu Tao heard that Du Xiaoyu was going to visit her mother's grave, he quickly said, "Visiting your mother's grave is a proper thing to do. Now that you're back in Taolin, you'll have many chances to visit Shuangxiong Mountain in the future. There's no rush. How about this, as long as it's Saturday or Sunday, I can go with you anytime. You just need to let me know in advance. "
On Monday morning, Ou Qingchang brought two people to the Taolin County Bureau and asked Lu Tao to make an investigation statement. Then, he went to the Public Security Bureau to find Zhou Youliang and He Ying and asked them to explain the reason and basis for not punishing Lu Tao. Then, he returned to Songshan.
The next morning, Zhou Youliang told Lu Tao that Liu Hong had officially withdrawn the charges against him and would no longer pursue the matter of him injuring the hotel staff.
On Thursday afternoon, Ou Qingchang called Lu Tao and said that the Songshan Local Taxation Bureau had decided to revoke the punishment given to him by the Taolin County Bureau. The official document would be issued next Monday …
At first, Lu Tao was skeptical of Liu Hong's words. However, after receiving Zhou Youliang and Ou Qingchang's call, his doubts completely disappeared. At the same time, another question popped up in his mind. Why did Liu Hong do this? What was his purpose?
During this period, he would occasionally think of Du Xiaoyu and Song Ge. He wondered if they had influenced Liu Hong. However, this thought only flashed through his mind before he immediately rejected it. Du Xiaoyu herself said that she hated Liu Hong to death, and Song Xitang was just a senior employee of the O 'Neal Group. How could they influence Liu Hong's decision?
On Friday morning, Zou Xianghong, the director of the Da Long Town Police Station, suddenly called Lu Tao and whispered in a slightly excited tone, "Brother Lu, Wu Liangmin is selling drugs again. We just caught him again!"
Lu Tao hurriedly asked what was going on. Zou Xianghong told him that for the past few days, Baldy Three had been going to Wu Liangmin's house almost every day to collect the debt. During this period, Li Weijun helped him pay back ten thousand yuan, but Baldy Three didn't buy it. He still urged Wu Liangmin to pay him back thirty thousand yuan within ten days, or else he would cut off one of his fingers.
In desperation, Wu Liangmin could only take the risk and contact another drug dealer he had a good relationship with. He bought some drugs from him and prepared to sell them to a few drug addicts in Da Long Town.
