After the call was connected, Li Rui did not exchange pleasantries with the person on the other end of the line. Instead, he told her everything about Wan Jin's visit to prison.
Sun Shuqin was furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "He's not human. He's worse than a beast. Even a beast is not as shameless as him … God is so blind. Why didn't he strike him with lightning?" Li Rui comforted her gently, "Don't be angry because of this kind of person. You'll feel bad if you're angry." Sun Shuqin nodded and praised, "You're so smart. You gave him a taste of his own medicine. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to deal with this matter." Li Ruixin was more meticulous. He reminded her, "We've managed to get away with it this time, but it's hard to guarantee that Song Shuji won't find out about this matter in the future. We have to plan ahead and unify our statements. We'll say that I was going to save you in the bedroom that day, but you were shy and stopped me. I had no choice but to let Gao Zixuan go in. Then, she untied you and saved you. From the beginning to the end, I didn't see you at all. "
Sun Shuqin said, "Okay, I'll remember that. But we can't just unify our statements. We have to let Gao Zixuan know about this." Li Rui said, "Don't worry. She'll be fine. I guarantee that whatever I say will be true. Even if we have to ask her to help us lie, it won't be a problem." Sun Shuqin was silent for a while. Then, she suddenly asked, "Did Song Chaoyang meet that woman surnamed Zhu again recently?" Li Rui knew that she was asking about Zhu Haiying. He said, "They met once. It was just to talk about business. Zhu Haiying wants to come to Qingyang City to develop her business. She wanted Song Shuji to take care of her business. However, she only appeared once before disappearing again. I don't even know where she went now. She might have returned to the provincial capital. You're asking about this … Actually, you still love Song Shuji, right? "
Sun Shuqin stopped talking, as if this sentence had hit the weakest part of her heart.
Li Ruixin felt a little awkward and sour. He whispered, "Why don't you make up with Song Shuji? We … the two of us, will we return to how we were before? "Sun Shuqin said coldly," Have you ever seen a broken mirror being glued back together and used again? The crack has already been formed, and it can't be closed no matter what. Even if it's closed, it's closed on the surface, but our hearts can't be together anymore. "She only talked about the direction of her relationship with Song Chaoyang, and did not mention the relationship with him.
Li Rui sighed secretly. That night, his boss really went too far. Quarreling was one thing, but why did he drag Zhu Haiying into this? He even went out with her to spend the night as a show of force. This directly broke Sun Shuqin's heart, and there was no room for recovery. Alas, if his boss knew Sun Shuqin's inner thoughts, he would probably want to die. There was a saying, "If the family is harmonious, everything will prosper." If his wife's heart was broken, and his family was not harmonious, then what was the point of being an official?
Sun Shuqin said again, "Don't think too much. I don't mean anything else. The reason why I asked this is not because I care about his Song Chaoyang, nor because I'm jealous of Zhu Haiying. I just want to know if he is still in contact with Zhu Haiying. Since they are still in contact, then I'm relieved."
Then she was relieved. Relieved about what? She did not say it, but Li Rui understood the deep meaning of her words. His mood became happy again, but there was also some shock. Could it be that she wanted to take revenge on his betrayal by learning Song Chaoyang? Song Chaoyang asked Zhu Haiying to spend the night, so she invited him to spend the night and took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. Song Chaoyang maintained a relationship with Zhu Haiying, so she followed suit and maintained an affair with him? In other words, she was still using him to take revenge on Song Chaoyang? In addition, there was an additional meaning in her words. She knew that it was not honorable to maintain an affair with him and felt ashamed. However, if there was an example of Song Chaoyang and Zhu Haiying, she would not have any concerns. Didn't this indirectly mean that her feelings for him were not pure, and that it was mixed with hatred for Song Chaoyang?
While his thoughts were running wild and his intestines were in knots, Sun Shuqin said softly, "You just said that we can return to how we were before, but do you think it's possible?" Li Rui said against his will, "It's possible, as long as we don't … don't …" Sun Shuqin heard this and sneered, but did not say anything. Li Rui also knew that his words were too childish. Their feelings had already happened, and they had already been intimate. How could they return to how they were before? On the surface, they could pretend that they were before, but what was the point? He mumbled, "Just pretend I didn't say anything." Sun Shuqin sighed and said, "You are good in every way, but you think too much."
Li Ruixin secretly smiled bitterly. Big sister, what do you mean by I think too much? Damn, I don't think too much, okay? You are my boss's wife. Being with you is like walking on a tightrope on a cliff. If I don't think too much, I will fall and break into pieces. You don't care about anything in order to take revenge on him, but I can't. Thinking of this, he felt that he had wronged his boss, and was not in the mood to continue chatting with her. He said sullenly, "That's all for now. I won't delay your lunch break."
Sun Shuqin said a few polite words to him and hung up the phone.
After the phone call, Li Rui frowned and began to think about a very deep and important problem, which was how to deal with his relationship with her. He thought to himself, I didn't want to have any ambiguous feelings with her, and now that I know that she is so close to me because she wants to take revenge on Song Chaoyang, I might as well take the initiative to break this relationship. After all, their relationship is not that deep, and it can be broken if I want to. As long as I stop thinking about it, no matter how active she is, it will only be a burden. Slowly, it will cool down, and this relationship will cease to exist. It's not like I don't have women by my side, so why should I provoke a woman who shouldn't be provoked? Besides, having an ambiguous relationship with his benefactor's wife is disloyal and unrighteous. I am a good man, how can I do such a despicable thing?
Thinking of this, he became very determined. He decided that from now on, he will never talk about ambiguous things with Sun Shuqin. In terms of behavior, he will also stay far away from her. He won't even touch her little finger. He believed that if he persevered for a while, this relationship will automatically disappear.
After making this decision, he felt that his heart was broader than before, and his back was straighter than before. It was as if he had found the feeling of unparalleled chivalry from before. He was overjoyed, laughed twice, and walked to the backyard of the hotel.
On the way, he called his old classmate, Yang Peng, and asked him to come back to the city for a few days whenever he is not busy. He had an urgent matter for him to do. Yang Peng didn't agree first, but asked what the urgent matter was.
Li Rui kept him in suspense and said, "You will know when you come back." Yang Peng laughed and scolded, "Damn, will you die if you tell me?" Li Rui laughed and said, "It's a good thing. Who knows, maybe you will be a factory director again." Yang Peng was surprised and happy, and said, "Really? What factory? "Li Rui laughed and said," I can't comment for now. You will know when you come back. I'm hanging up. "
He planned to let Yang Peng come back and be in charge of the construction of the vegetable processing factory that he had promised Ou Yangxin. He had promised her many days ago, and her wild vegetables project was already on the right track. It was time to settle this matter. Otherwise, why did he promise her in the first place? Although the planned factory wasn't big, and most of it was an assembly line operation, it still had to be built according to a standard factory. Leasing the factory, purchasing the machinery, hiring the workers, training the workers, communicating with Shengjing Hotel, and so on were a lot of things. There had to be someone in charge in the early or long term, and Yang Peng was very likely to be the first factory director. As for his salary, it would definitely be paid by Ou Yangxin, the user of the factory. Li Rui considered it as increasing the income of his old classmate.
At around three o 'clock in the afternoon, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Zhou Yuansong, came to visit Song Chaoyang and told him the latest news. Xu Shenghua's "suicide" case was solved.
Song Chaoyang was very happy to hear the news. After inviting Zhou Yuansong to sit on the sofa, he asked excitedly, "Did you find out who the murderer is?"
Li Rui also looked at Zhou Yuansong nervously. He really wanted to ask him if the real murderer was a leader of the Municipal Education Bureau. Did he kill Xu Shenghua to silence him to cover up his evil dealings with Xu Shenghua? After all, when Xu Shenghua became the director of the City Academy of Music and Arts, and when he sat on the throne for a long time, he needed the support of the leaders of the City Education Bureau. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to give gifts to some powerful leaders. But then again, wasn't it a bit of a loss to commit murder in order to cover up the crime of accepting bribes? No leader in his right mind would do that, right?
Zhou Yuansong said, "Secretary, you might not believe it, but the murderers are his wife and his two brothers-in-law."
Song Chaoyang was shocked. He tilted his head and looked at Li Rui. Both of them looked like they couldn't believe it.
Zhou Yuansong didn't wait for the two to ask and told them the whole story of the case. It turned out that after Xu Shenghua was investigated and before he was interrogated, he knew that he had committed serious violations of the law. Once the facts of his crimes were found out, what awaited him was the most severe punishment. He might even spend the rest of his life in prison. After thinking about it, he decided to escape before his freedom was completely restricted. He wanted to leave Qingyang City and escape as far as he could. After all, he had made a lot of money over the years. No matter where he escaped to, even if he escaped to a foreign country, it would be enough for him to spend the rest of his life. As long as he could escape, he could continue to enjoy his beautiful life.
