Li Ming suddenly grabbed Li Rui's arm and said with tears in his eyes, "Xiao Rui, I … I don't want to be finished. I haven't been a leader enough."
Li Rui stared at him and said in his heart, "Why didn't you come earlier?" He pushed his hand away and said, "Don't be so wishy-washy. If you don't go back to clean up your mess, not only your official career, but your whole life will be finished."
The three returned to the car and returned to the city. They first dropped Li Rui off at the gate of the Municipal Party Committee. Li Ming went back with the car and was very busy.
When they saw Song Chaoyang, it was already half past eleven. Li Rui saw his sleepy eyes, but he didn't have time to apologize. He quickly told him about Li Ming's matter.
Song Chaoyang didn't think much of it at first, but soon he frowned. When he finished listening, he was shocked and resentful. He asked, "Huang Youfang is avoiding meeting. Has he been found by Huo Zhisong or Yu Heping? Is the key to breaking the current situation on Huang Youfang? If Huang Youfang is not in trouble, then can Li Ming be safe for the time being? "
Li Rui nodded and said, "In theory, if Huang Youfang didn't seek refuge with Huo Zhisong and Yu Heping and not be a tainted witness, then we can't prove that Li Ming received money. But now we can't find Huang Youfang at all."
Song Chaoyang stared blankly. After a while, he said angrily, "Yu Heping, that old bastard, actually has one face in front of me and another behind my back. He took advantage of my unpreparedness to mess with my people. I also said that he has been very united recently. I didn't expect him to stab me in the back. It's really hateful, really hateful! "
Li Rui calmed down and thought about it again. He shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much. There's no problem with Huang Youfang, because in theory, Huo Zhisong wanted to use Yang Dali to deal with Li Ming. He relied on the situation reported by the villagers in Nanwang Village. How could he suddenly jump to Huang Youfang, who was between Yang Dali and Li Ming? But if that's the case, there's no way to explain why Huang Youfang refused to answer Li Ming's call and why he's not on duty at the Town Committee. "
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a brainstorm and found another suspicious point. "If Huo Zhisong and Yu Heping had really found Huang Youfang and Li Ming's life gate, they would have immediately used their killing move to catch you off guard. How could Huo Zhisong have the time and leisure to spread rumors about Li Ming covering up for Yang Dali in the Southern District Government? Instead of spreading those rumors, it would only make Li Ming feel no pain or itch. At most, he would be punished. Why not directly show the evidence of Li Ming receiving black money and knock him down? This was definitely not Yu Heping's usual style. That old thing would either not do anything or go to extremes. Why would he keep people in suspense? This fully shows that Yu Heping hasn't gotten any evidence of Li Ming receiving black money. In other words, they haven't contacted Huang Youfang yet. "
Song Chaoyang thought for a while and nodded. "Your analysis is reasonable. Maybe things haven't gotten that bad yet. We must not panic."
Li Rui said, "So I think that Huo Zhisong and Yu Heping want to use Yang Dali's case to suppress Li Ming's prestige in the Southern District. At the same time, they also want to disgust you. They don't want to get rid of Li Ming. A head-on battle with you is not in line with the current political environment. At least, they won't fall out with you before the Council closes. "
Song Chaoyang said with a gloomy face, "The only way to confirm what you said is to find Huang Youfang. Tell Li Ming to find Huang Youfang for me right now, immediately, and by any means necessary. After you find him, we'll talk about how to deal with them. Hmph, Li Ming is a bastard. I thought so highly of him and promoted him, but he became arrogant not long after he was promoted. He accepted black money from his subordinates and let me down. I won't forgive him for this. Even if Yu Heping doesn't deal with him, I'll deal with him! "
Li Ruixin sighed. He knew that Li Ming was finished this time. He had personally destroyed the good image he had built in the heart of his boss, Song Chaoyang. He had even lost his boss's trust. What kind of good ending could he have? Just wait and see. He could forget about being a district mayor. If he had a good ending, he would be demoted and become the laughingstock of the city's officialdom. If he had a bad ending, he would be punished by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. However, this couldn't be blamed on Song Chaoyang for being ruthless. It was Li Ming himself who didn't live up to expectations and dared to accept any money.
He said goodbye to Song Chaoyang and walked out of the third building. He wanted to stand on the side of the road and call Li Ming, but he was afraid that Yu Heping, who lived in the first building not far away, would hear him. He walked towards the gate. When he walked out of the Municipal Party Committee's courtyard, he found a corner and called Li Ming. He first told him his analysis to calm him down. Then he asked him to mobilize his manpower tonight to find Huang Youfang no matter what.
When Li Ming heard that things were not as bad as he thought and that there was still a chance to save the situation, his heart that had sunk to the bottom of the valley instantly rose up. His courage was also strengthened, and his mind was also flexible. Suddenly, he thought of something and cursed, "F * ck, I remember now. Huang Youfang, that bastard, likes to drink. He drank too much and went to his lover's house to spend the night. When I called him just now, he might have already fallen asleep and couldn't answer the phone. His lover didn't know that my call was urgent and didn't answer it. F * ck, it must be like this. F * ck, I thought too much. "
Li Rui sighed, "Don't be so lucky. Hurry up and find Huang Youfang. Find him first. In addition, don't be happy too early. You have hurt the boss's heart this time. Even if Yu Heping let you go, he may still punish you severely. You still have to be mentally prepared for the worst. "
When Li Ming heard this, he withered again and suddenly cursed, "Huo Zhisong, f * ck his mother. That son of a b * tch has nothing better to do. He picked on my fault and caused my horse to be finished. I won't forgive him. Even if I go down this time, I won't let him have a good time …"
Li Rui said, "Stop cursing. Go find Huang Youfang first. You can think about how to deal with Huo Zhisong later. Tomorrow at seven o 'clock in the morning, regardless of whether you find Huang Youfang or not, give me a message so that I can report to the boss. "
Li Ming agreed and hung up the phone. He sent someone to look for Huang Youfang.
Li Rui took a taxi back home. On the way, he also reminded himself that he should learn a lesson from Li Ming's incident. At any time, he could not accept benefits from his subordinates. Not only was it unsafe, but it was also easy to be implicated. It would also affect his style and temperament, and the height he could reach. Of course, he absolutely could not accept benefits from society, especially those that involved money and houses. For example, the villa in the Song Gezhuang reservoir that Li Ming and his wife gave him must be returned immediately. Although Li Ming was now the district chief, and the big bosses of various developers supported him, but once he had an accident and fell from the district chief's throne, those people could stab him fatally at any time.
As an official, he must be a good and honest official. Not to mention noble sentiments, but to sleep peacefully and to never worry about his family, he had to do it!
When he returned home, Qingman was already asleep. Li Rui took off his clothes outside and tiptoed into the bedroom. He climbed into bed and slept.
The next morning, Li Rui just had breakfast when he received a call from Li Ming.
Li Ming's voice revealed endless exhaustion, but he was a bit relaxed. He knew that last night's incident was no longer a big worry for him, "Brother, Huang Youfang has been found. He is at his lover's house. He drank too much last night and fell asleep when he got home. He couldn't answer my call. His lover also didn't know who I was. She hung up the phone several times and finally turned it off. When I saw him, I slapped him a few times. It's not for anything else, but to vent my anger … "
When Li Rui heard this, he frowned and said, "Get to the point!"
Li Ming hurriedly said, "Oh, okay, I … I asked him if he had been contacted by Huo Zhisong and Yu Heping's people. He said no. I asked him if Yang Dali had a share of the 100,000 yuan. He said no. I asked him if Yang Dali had given him money. He said yes. I asked him if he knew what Yang Dali had done in the South Wang Village. He said he had heard about it, but he didn't know what to do. Secondly, he took Yang Dali's money.
Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are you mentally prepared that you will be dealt with this time?"
Li Ming said in a low voice, "I'm prepared, but I'm not sure how they will deal with me. They can't be more ruthless than Yu Heping. They can't just strip me of my position, right? Although I made a mistake, I'm still Big Boss's man. Even if he doesn't consider other things, he should at least consider that I've been with him, right? Can't he just give me a punishment? "
Li Rui was so angry that he almost laughed. He said, "You only took 100,000 yuan from Huang Youfang. You only want a punishment? You're too naive. "
Li Ming shouted, "I've already returned the 100,000 yuan to Huang Youfang. I just returned it to him …"
Li Rui said, "What's the use of returning it to him? He took Yang Dali's money. He will definitely be dealt with. If you were still in office at that time, he naturally wouldn't dare to bite you. But if you're also investigated, won't he bite you to atone for his crimes? Don't think too much now. Listen to me. Immediately send people to investigate Yang Dali's illegal activities. Before you leave office, do a good deed and leave a good reputation. Then, wait for the boss to deal with you. "
Li Ming was so anxious that he almost cried. "Brother, the boss won't be so heartless, right? After all, I've been with him before. How about this, I'll go to the Municipal Party Committee now. After he leaves office, I'll go to him and beg for mercy. "
Li Rui scolded, "Fool! You're in the eye of the storm now. Just stay there and don't move. Don't go to the boss and cause trouble for him. Otherwise, if Yu Heping sees you, the boss will be in trouble because of you. "
When Li Ming heard that he didn't even have the chance to see Song Chaoyang, he felt sad and lost. He was speechless.
