After hearing this, Song Chaoyang said with relief, "Xiao Rui, you're right to stop him. At this time, I absolutely can't see him. That old fox Yu may be watching me. This time, he colluded with Huo Zhisong to make a move on Li Ming. Maybe he wants to surround Li Ming but not kill him. When I'm involved and make a mistake, he'll find my weakness. I can't be caught by him. " After saying this, he thought for a moment and said, "This is definitely not the first time Li Ming received money from Huang Youfang, and it won't be the last time. In addition, I don't believe that other than financial problems, he doesn't have any other problems. Therefore, I can't protect him. Tell him for me, let him prepare to go to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and take the initiative to confess his problems. "
Li Rui nodded and agreed without any expression on his face, but in his heart, there was a stormy sea. The previous number two person in the Southern District, the dignified District Mayor, after one night, was going to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to surrender and become a prisoner. This change was too fast and too drastic, wasn't it? Thinking of the scenes of him and Li Ming dating, thinking of his current situation, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel bad. It was quite bitter. Thinking of Lin Yali's future life, it was as if he suddenly saw the end of A Dream of the Red Chamber. As for Song Chaoyang's "ruthlessness" of not protecting Li Ming, he didn't think much of it. Li Ming's problems were serious, and he was targeted by Huo Zhisong and Yu Heping. Even if Song Chaoyang could save him this time, Song Chaoyang would definitely be implicated in the future. This wasn't ruthlessness, but the situation. He believed that if he could save Li Ming, Song Chaoyang wouldn't give up on him.
Song Chaoyang said in a heavy tone, "Modern society is full of materialistic desires, everywhere is full of temptations. It's a bit difficult to be a perfect leader and a good cadre, but at least we have to set a minimum requirement for ourselves. That is, at any time and in any aspect, we have to withstand the investigation of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. At least, we have to be able to do this, and then we can talk about how to face the people and the leaders. "
Li Rui said cautiously, "Yes, especially when it comes to economic issues. You can't make any mistakes. In other areas, if you make a mistake occasionally, as long as it doesn't harm the interests of the people or the country, it's understandable. Only economic issues are the most despicable. No matter what official you are, you can't be a corrupt official."
Song Chaoyang, as if he didn't hear his words, he changed the topic and asked, "Xiao Rui, if the Commission for Discipline Inspection starts investigating you now, are you afraid?"
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I have no financial problems, I, I'm, I. As he said that, he thought to himself that there were some problems with his style, but those were all real-life relationships, not official and work, and had nothing to do with his conduct. Moreover, he wasn't afraid of being investigated, because no one had any evidence of his relationship with his close female friends. For example, his old colleague Zhang Jinfang from the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau knew that he had an ambiguous relationship with Yuan Jingjing, but she didn't have any evidence. Even if the entire Commission for Discipline Inspection was mobilized, they would still find nothing.
Song Chaoyang seemed to understand the deeper meaning in his words, he smiled meaningfully and said, "You can't have big problems in other aspects, you have to balance work and family."
After arriving at the office, Li Rui took the time to call Li Ming, and told him Song Chaoyang's message in a regretful tone. When Li Ming heard that Song Chaoyang wanted him to turn himself in to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he was instantly stunned and couldn't say a word.
That night, Li Rui was asked out by Lin Yali, and they had a private chat in Lin Yali's car at the south gate of the community.
"Tell me the truth, Old Li has no chance at all, right?"
Lin Yali was very emotional, and her face was very ugly. As soon as Li Rui got into the car, she grabbed his arm excitedly.
Li Rui patted her hand and said in a low voice, "No. To be honest, he received 100,000 yuan as a gift from Huang Youfang. Let's talk about this in private. This is almost nothing. If you go to the investigation and investigation level cadres in the city, including the deputy division leaders, who hasn't received 100,000 yuan? 100,000 yuan is considered a small amount. Even the city leaders know in their hearts that a divisional leader like my brother must have earned a lot of money. But the problem is, it's one thing to know, but it's another thing to put it on the table. Not to mention that the two wolves, Yu Heping and Huo Zhisong, are still eyeing my brother, Song Chaoyang knows that my brother received money. How can he pretend that he doesn't know anything? He must be dealt with. There's no other way. Giving him a chance to turn himself in is already a mercy. "
Lin Yali said in pain, "But if he really goes to jail, won't our family be finished? How can my child and I continue to live? When I think of the family without him, my heart feels empty and uncomfortable. I didn't feel it when he was at home, but now that I heard that he was going to be interrogated, I felt it … "Speaking of this, she couldn't help but cry.
Li Rui took a piece of tissue from the tissue box, folded it, and handed it to her. He sighed and said, "You can only resign yourself to it. Be strong. Brother Wei, Brother Hanlin, and I will do our best to take care of you. Speaking of this, it's my fault. Last night, I heard that he received 100,000 yuan from Huang Youfang, but he couldn't contact Huang Youfang. I thought that Huang Youfang had been bribed by Yu Heping. This matter was going to be big and couldn't be hidden, so I quickly told the Song Chaoyang. If I hadn't told the Song Chaoyang at that time, my brother could still keep his position as the district mayor. But Yu Heping and Huo Zhisong are already eyeing him. He was lucky to escape this time, but he can't escape next time. He will still be punished. Alas. "
Lin Yali cried and scolded, "Yu Heping and Huo Zhisong, these two bastards. Did our family's Old Li offend them or hinder them? Why do they have to go through so much trouble to punish him? They are simply not human. A group of bastards … Once Old Li goes to jail, how can our family live? I don't know how many years he will be sentenced to in the end … "
Li Rui asked, "Before you came to see me, did you ask my brother how much illegal income he has to confess? How much is it in total?"
Lin Yali said, "More than one million yuan."
Li Rui frowned. More than one million yuan, it was not a lot, but it was also not a small amount. It depended on the court's final sentence. If Song Chaoyang talked to the president of the court, he might only be sentenced to a few years. Of course, even so, Li Ming would only be released a little faster. But after he was released, he would be nothing. It would be difficult for his life to improve. He said, "I will think of a way to reduce his sentence by a few years. When he is released, he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood. I will find a way to arrange a job for him. At that time, he may earn more than he did as the district mayor. "
Lin Yali was very touched. She grabbed his hand and said, "Xiao Rui, you are the best. You are the most loyal. After you became sworn brothers with Old Li, you have always treated him as your brother. Now that he is in trouble, you did not hide far away. It is worth it for him to have a brother like you in this life."
Li Rui was a little embarrassed by her praise. He thought to himself, with our relationship, you still have the nerve to say such things? It should be. He is really unlucky to have a brother like me in this life. His brother almost seduced his wife. But his heart was still quite open. After all, with this beautiful sister-in-law beside him, he was just acting and did not really do anything. At least, he did not let Li Ming down. He said, "You go back first. Help my brother prepare. Straighten out the facts that he has to confess. Don't overlook anything. This time, he has the circumstances of turning himself in. The court will consider it and will not give him a heavy sentence. "
Lin Yali agreed. After wiping her tears, she drove away. Li Rui stood at the South Gate and watched her car disappear from his sight. He thought of all the things that happened since he became friends with this couple. He could not help but have tears in his eyes.
One day later, Li Ming turned himself in to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. He asked to explain his violations of the law. On the same day, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Qingyang City decided to open a case and investigate Li Ming.
When this matter was spread out, it immediately caused a big shock in Qingyang City. The county level cadres were all jittery. The cadres below the division level were all frightened. No one knew why Li Ming suddenly turned himself in. But they could infer that he must have been found out. Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, he had no choice but to turn himself in to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Did this mean that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision Bureau had begun to secretly investigate the county level cadres? Li Ming was just the first one, and the next unlucky one would appear soon?
For a time, rumors spread in the city. Some said that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee, secretly carried out an anti-corruption action called "Operation Storm". Dozens of teams were sent to the county, district, and municipal departments to focus on the illegal activities of the division level cadres. This was to cooperate with the rectification campaign launched before. Li Ming was the first division level cadre to be punished in this action. Some said that this anti-corruption action was first carried out in the three districts of the city, and then to the suburbs. As long as the cadre was in the leadership of the county or district, no one could escape. Some said that the goal of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was to investigate and punish ten division level officials, because this was the task set by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for each city.
Although the rumors spread everywhere, fortunately, no one talked about Li Ming's family background. No one said that Li Ming was a cadre promoted by the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Song Chaoyang. Of course, this was reasonable. Only the top leaders of Qingyang City knew about this. At this sensitive time, no one would take the risk of offending Song Chaoyang by spreading such rumors. Even Song Chaoyang's old rival, Yu Heping, would not choose to do this at this time.
