Huang Weining did not expect him to leave so soon. She was slightly surprised, but she did not stop him. She only said, "Let me walk you out." Li Rui waved his hand and said, "Don't. It's safer for you to stay in the room. Besides, I don't need you to walk me out." He walked towards the door.
Huang Weining saw that he rejected her kindness and was slightly angry. She looked at him coldly as he left.
Yang Xiang saw her expression change and could not help but laugh. Huang Weining noticed her laughter and asked curiously, "Xiang Xiang, what are you laughing at?" Yang Xiang smiled and shook her head. "Nothing. I'm just laughing at Brother Li for not knowing what's good for him. Sister Weining, you're kind enough to send him out, but he doesn't appreciate it. He deserves a beating." When Huang Weining heard this, it was as if she had found a comrade. She agreed, "That's right. Why are you so stiff with your words?" Yang Xiang said, "Next time you see him, kick him a few times. I won't stop you. Haha." Huang Weining laughed and was about to agree when she suddenly realized that she seemed to be teasing her relationship with Li Rui. She blushed and said, "Kick him for me. I'll watch …"
When they got home, Li Rui told Qingman about his plans for the weekend. He wanted to go to Shanghai to check on the progress of Huang Xinghua's TV series adaptation. Qingman did not know that Li Rui was using this as an excuse to celebrate Tang Su's birthday. Naturally, she expressed her support. She then said that she wanted to go back to the provincial capital to arrange a small gathering between her father, Lu Zhouxing, and He Suli so that they could get married as soon as possible.
Li Rui listened and said, "Is it convenient for you to go to the provincial capital with a big belly?" Qingman laughed and said, "How can I have a big belly? It's just a little bit visible. Besides, I'm already past the early stages of pregnancy. It's very safe now. Besides, I'll take the car wherever I go. It'll be fine. "Li Rui said," Okay, then wait for me to go back to Jingnan on Sunday. I'll pick you up and we'll go back to Qingyang together. "
With just a few words, the couple had arranged the weekend's schedule.
Li Rui then went to the bathroom to wash up. When he came out, he chatted with his father, Li Jianmin. Li Jianmin mentioned that there were burglars in the neighborhood last night. They had burglarized a few houses, from the lower to the upper floors. They had taken advantage of the fact that the owners of the houses had fallen asleep in the middle of the night to sneak in through the balcony windows. Moreover, the victims were all wealthy people. Because of this, there had been a lot of losses.
Li Rui was surprised and said, "If you said that you could sneak in through the balcony window, I could understand. It's hot now, and everyone has their windows open to let in the ventilation and heat. But don't all the houses in our neighborhood have anti-theft fences outside their balconies? How could a thief get in? "
Li Jianmin said, "Do you think the thief is stupid? He brought a pair of hydraulic scissors with him. Cutting steel bars with hydraulic scissors is just child's play, not to mention cutting a hollow stainless steel fence. After cutting two or three fences, he could get in. " Li Rui exclaimed, "Thieves these days are really daring. But aren't they afraid of waking up the owners of the houses?" Li Jianmin said, "Even if the owners of the houses are woken up, who dares to make a fuss? If you make a fuss, the thief will turn hostile and stab you a few times. Wouldn't that be a waste of time? "
Li Rui nodded in agreement. He walked to the living room balcony to check.
Li Jianmin waved his hand and said, "There's no need to check. The thieves didn't target our house. Moreover, they won't be coming back for a while. Don't worry." Li Rui laughed and said, "If the thieves didn't target our house, does that mean our house is poor?"
Li Jianmin said, "Of course. Can't you tell from the renovations of our house? Besides, I'm retired. You're just a member of the Municipal Party Committee. How much money can your family have? The thieves only targeted the rich people in the community. They had already inquired about this beforehand … The people who were robbed this morning all called the police. But the police only went through the motions when they came. Who would spend the effort to catch those thieves who came and went without a trace? Old Sui, the old guy who fought with you for the position of the property owners committee director, said that he would come to you and ask you to put pressure on the District Public Security Bureau to solve the case as soon as possible and protect the safety of our community. "
Li Rui laughed and said, "Put pressure on the District Public Security Bureau? I'm not the bureau chief. How can I put pressure on them? " Li Jianmin said, "That's what I said to Old Sui. He said that although you're not the bureau chief, your words are better than the bureau chief of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. If you talk to the bureau chief, the case will be solved immediately. He also said that only the few families who were robbed did not have a high ranking leader. If there was a high ranking leader in one of the families, do you think those bastards at the police station would work hard to solve the case? "
Li Rui deeply agreed and sighed. Now, there were indeed similar bad practices in the public security system in some places. When people's electric scooters or other belongings were stolen, they reported it to the police. The police station accepted the case but did not investigate it at all. Why? Because the value of this case was not high. There was no merit even if it was solved. Also, it did take a lot of effort to solve the case. It might take a few days or even more than ten days to solve the case. It meant that there was no return. The police were paid a fixed salary. Whether they solved the case or not, they would only get the same amount of money. Naturally, they were too lazy to investigate. On the contrary, if a leader or a foreign guest's house was robbed, the police would work hard to solve the case without any orders from their superiors. The reason was very simple. If they solved the case, they would be rewarded or even promoted by their superiors. If they couldn't solve the case, then they would have to bear the wrath of their superiors.
This was an obvious case. The people who were robbed in the neighborhood only had money, but they did not have power. Therefore, the police at the police station did not take it seriously. They just accepted the case and left. After that, they continued to do what they were supposed to do as if nothing had happened. However, if Li Rui, the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, came forward and talked to Tan Yang, the police station in the neighborhood would definitely solve the case in two or three days. This kind of thing was very funny and sad. However, it did exist in society. In the end, it was because some police officers nowadays lacked a sense of responsibility and professional honor.
Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Okay. Even if I don't think about the neighbors, I still have to think about our own family. If there really is a thief who doesn't know his place and burglarizes our house in the middle of the night, even if he doesn't hurt anyone, he will scare us. Moreover, Qingman is pregnant. We can't let her be scared. How about this, I'll go downstairs and call the leader of the police station. Luckily, I know him. Otherwise, I can't use my position to pressure him. "
Li Jianmin asked curiously, "You're still going downstairs to make a call? Li Rui shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that I'll scare Qingman if I call at home. I'll call outside."
His plan was to go downstairs and call Tan Yang first. Then, he would go to Dong Jieyu's house next door to take a look. Her house was well-renovated and she always drove an Audi Q5. She was a typical rich person. He didn't know if the thief visited her house last night. He was a little worried and took the opportunity to ask her and remind her to be careful when she sleeps at night.
Li Rui went back to the bedroom and said goodbye to Qingman. She said that she was going downstairs to talk to her friend about something. Then, he took his phone and went downstairs.
"What? Brother, there was a thief in your house too?"
Li Rui walked out and said to Tan Yang, "It almost came in. Luckily, my old man is a light sleeper. He heard movement in the middle of the night and got up to take a look at the balcony. Someone was climbing up, so he shouted and scared the thief away …"
Of course, he was making this up. He was just using the fact that there was a thief in his house so that he could have an excuse to ask Tan Yang for help. Otherwise, if he just said that there was a thief in his neighbor's house, but his house was fine, it would be too abrupt and impulsive to ask Tan Yang, the bureau chief, to take care of this matter. Although Tan Yang was only a bureau chief and wasn't very presentable, he was still a member of the Northern District's District Committee and the Secretary of the District's Political and Legal Committee. He was a proper district leader. Even if Li Rui had a good relationship with him, he still had to pay attention to the details and not let him complain.
Tan Yang was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this. He scolded, "Motherf * cker, these thieves are really f * cking arrogant. They even dared to commit a crime in my brother's house. How can this be? Brother, don't worry. I'll call my subordinates immediately and give them a deadline to solve the case. If they can't solve the case, they'll be held accountable by the bureau chief! "
Li Rui smiled and said, "That's good. Then, I'll have to trouble you to inform your subordinates. To be honest, I'm not worried about losing my belongings at home. I'm just worried that my family will be worried, especially my wife. She's pregnant. If a thief enters her house in the middle of the night and scares her … "
Tan Yang interrupted, "Brother, don't say anymore. If I can't solve this case, how can I still be friends with you? Just wait for the news. F * ck, I'll get those thieves to come to justice in three days at most. When they come to justice, I'll deal with them properly in the station … "
After the call, Li Rui was very satisfied. He looked up and saw that he had already walked to the east side of the building. He looked back and saw that no one was looking at him. He quietly ran up the stairs and stood in front of Dong Jieyu's house. He raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.
The door opened quickly. Dong Jieyu looked at him expressionlessly and turned to walk into the house. Li Rui walked into the house and closed the door but didn't close it.
"Did you know that a thief entered your neighborhood last night? He didn't visit your house, right? "
Li Rui walked into the house and looked around. He saw that the house was as clean and tidy as before. There were no traces of a thief.
Dong Jieyu was about to enter the bathroom when he heard that. He stopped and turned to look at him. "A thief entered your neighborhood? I don't know. " Li Rui said, "You leave early and come home late every day. You're the only one at home, so you don't hear the news in the neighborhood. I only found out from my dad, so I came to see if you were robbed. "Dong Jieyu shook his head and said," No. " Li Rui said, "Even if you didn't, you have to be careful. Lock all the doors and windows at night and lock the bedroom door when you sleep. If you find out that someone entered your house, call me first before you can call the police."
