Li Rui guessed that Yu Heping also didn't expect this. He and Huo Zhisong only wanted to use Yang Dali's incident to suppress Li Ming, but they didn't expect that Li Ming would turn himself in to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. The result was beyond their expectations.
In any case, Li Ming stepped down. His stepping down was just like how he came to power that day. It was fleeting, fast, and amazing. His stepping down made the Municipal Party Committee very embarrassed. He was nominated and appointed by the Municipal Party Committee. But soon after he was appointed, he made a serious mistake. At least, it showed that the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee didn't know how to judge people. He was elected by the Municipal People's Congress. But in just a few months, he used his actions to give the representatives a slap in the face, telling them that they chose the wrong person!
But this embarrassment couldn't last long. Time will dilute everything. It won't be long before news about Li Ming will be buried in people's memories. No one will think of him or mention him again. The only people who will remember him are his relatives and friends.
On Friday night, Li Rui, Guan Weiwei, Ceng Hanlin, Cheng Songhua, and other friends gathered at Li Ming's house to comfort Lin Yali, who was in a bad mood. It was worth mentioning that Lin Yafei was also there. She moved in with Lin Yali these few days to help her relieve her depression.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Although my brother is in prison, we are still here. We will take good care of you. In the future, if you have any problems, just tell me. Don't treat me as an outsider … "
After Guan Weiwei sat down, the first thing he did was give Lin Yali a speech.
Lin Yali's eyes were red and swollen. When she heard his words, she smiled bitterly at him and said hoarsely: "It's nothing. If something really happens, I will look for you."
Guan Weiwei asked again: "Is your family short of money? If you are short of money, I will give you a few tens of thousands."
Lin Yali shook her head and said: "No, I will tell you if I am short of money."
Guan Weiwei turned around and saw everyone looking at him. He smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, from now on, there will be an orphan and a widow. We have to take care of them."
No one said anything and just looked at him. Soon, he blushed and turned his face away.
Lin Yali forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. You don't have to worry about it. Thank you for your concern."
Cheng Songhua said, "Sister-in-law, if anything happens at home in the future, just tell us. You don't have to be polite with us."
Lin Yali nodded repeatedly to show that she understood.
Lin Yafei suddenly opened her mouth and asked Zeng Hanlin, "Brother Zeng, how many years will my brother-in-law be sentenced to?"
Ceng Hanlin thought for a while and answered with uncertainty, "He has the circumstances to turn himself in, and the gray income he received is not much, so he shouldn't be sentenced for long. Our Commission for Discipline Inspection once caught a Deputy Division Chief. His source of illegal money was similar to Li Ming's. Moreover, he didn't turn himself in. He was purely caught by us. In the end, he was sentenced to more than six years. I don't think Li Ming will be in prison for more than six years. Of course, the prerequisite is that he has to hand over all the illegal gains. "
Lin Yali hurriedly said, "That's not a problem. All the illegal gains have been handed over. He didn't squander any of them."
Ceng Hanlin nodded and said, "Then it shouldn't be a big problem. I think he will be sentenced to four to five years."
When Lin Yali heard that Li Ming will be sentenced for so long, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Guan Weiwei angrily scolded, "Huo Zhisong is a bastard. He is a Deputy District Mayor, but he doesn't want to be an honest person. Why does he have to stab others in the back? He made my brother fall. How can he be the Mayor of the Southern District? He's just a lapdog in front of Yu Heping, an idiot. I really want to kill him! "
Ceng Hanlin said, "He can't be a District Mayor, but he can use this opportunity to get promoted. If the District Party Deputy Secretary or Executive Deputy District Mayor is promoted to District Mayor, he will be promoted to Deputy Secretary or Executive Deputy District Mayor. This is what he wants. This kind of scum won't do anything without benefits. "
Lin Yali suddenly interrupted, "The night before Old Li turned himself in, he mentioned to me that the reason why Huo Zhisong made a move on him is not only because he wants to improve, but also because of Han Shui."
Li Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he shouted, "Han Shui? What did Han Shui do in this case? "
Lin Yali looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Old Li didn't tell me the details. I only know two things. One is that last year, Han Shui's real estate company killed someone. At that time, Old Li was very active in investigating Han Shui's real estate company. Later, he became the District Mayor, but he also offended Han Shui. The other thing is that after Old Li became the District Mayor, he focused on supporting another real estate company and didn't support Han Shui's development. Maybe because of this, he offended Han Shui even more. Han Shui was so angry that he joined forces with Huo Zhisong to oust Old Li … But this is just Old Li's guess. There is no real evidence. But everyone knows that Han Shui and Huo Zhisong are close. Huo Zhisong is in charge of urban construction and demolition. "
Li Rui's eyes almost popped out. He suddenly stood up and shouted, "So there is such a big conspiracy behind this?"
Guan Weiwei was slightly curious when he saw him so agitated, but he didn't take it to heart. He sighed, "If Han Shui is involved in this matter, then it will be disgusting. Who doesn't know about Han Shui's influence in Qingyang City? Who can afford to offend him? Anyway, even if I'm now the boss of the city's traffic police, I still don't dare to fight with him. "
Ceng Hanlin said angrily, "I knew it. How could Huo Zhisong have the guts to lay his hands on Li Ming? Even if Yu Heping instigated him to do it, why didn't he do it earlier? Why did he only do it now? It turns out that Han Shui is the one behind this. Han Shui wants to oust Li Ming and replace him with a Mayor who supports the Construction Group. "
Lin Yali was a little scared when she saw them so agitated. She said, "Old Li is just guessing. He doesn't have any evidence, so don't be impulsive. But it's true that he offended Han Shui. Old Li also knows that he has offended Han Shui after the forced demolition case last year. After he became the Acting Mayor, he didn't plan to have any contact with him. Once, Old Li went to a restaurant to eat and happened to bump into Han Shui. Everyone in the same restaurant greeted and talked to Han Shui, but he ignored him. As a result, Han Shui lost his face and completely offended him. Later, Han Shui went to him and said that he wanted to be friends with him, but he refused. "
Li Rui was furious when he heard this. He couldn't wait to curse and vent his anger. He also wanted to immediately go to his boss, Song Chaoyang, and tell him about this big conspiracy, but he didn't have any evidence now. He said angrily, "If it's just Huo Zhisong who wants to use my brother to get promoted, then it can be said that it's purely an official struggle. We can't say anything and can only admit that we are unlucky. But if it's also mixed with Han Shui's interests, then it's the most shameless black money politics. My brother's downfall will be too wronged."
Guan Weiwei sighed and said, "Xiao Rui, you are right. But what can we do even if it's wronged? We can think of a way to kill Huo Zhisong and get revenge. But who can deal with Han Shui? Unless the city leaders want to deal with him, we can't do anything to him. Not to mention his entangled network in the officialdom, let's talk about his personal strength. He started his underworld gang, so ordinary people like us can't afford to offend him. Wasn't Feng Weidong, the former director of the City Public Security Bureau, awesome? But he was such an awesome person, and he always had to respect Han Shui. How can we deal with him? "
Everyone cursed and sighed for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye and left. Lin Yali and Lin Yafei saw them out.
Li Rui was the last to leave. He stopped Lin Yali at the door and didn't let her go out. He whispered, "The Secretary has already expressed his attitude. My brother fully recognized his mistakes and took the initiative to turn himself in. His attitude is very good, so he won't be sentenced too harshly. At most, he will be sentenced to three or four years. It shows that the Secretary still cares about old friendship. Sister-in-law, don't worry, take good care of yourself and your child.
Lin Yali cried and grabbed his hand. She shook it again and again. She choked and said, "I know … I know. Xiao Rui, thank you for speaking up for Old Li."
Li Rui said, "Hey, we are family. Why are you saying this? I'm leaving. You should go to bed early. " He then instructed Lin Yafei, "During this period of time, take good care of your sister and your child. Don't let them think about it."
Lin Yafei nodded and said, "I know. Let me send you downstairs."
Li Rui waved his hand, indicating that there was no need. He turned and left.
When the brothers went downstairs, Guan Weiwei suggested, "It's not too late yet. Let's find a place to drink?"
Cheng Songhua and Ceng Hanlin agreed. Li Rui said, "Don't drink for too long. I'm afraid that if we go back too late, my wife will be asleep and will wake her up."
Guan Weiwei laughed and said, "Xiao Rui, you really love your wife. We have to learn from you! Okay, let's drink. After that, we will leave. "
The four of them got into their respective cars and drove to the entrance of the neighborhood.
Li Rui sat in Guan Weiwei's car. After the car drove out of the neighborhood, Guan Weiwei said earnestly, "Did you see that?" Li Rui looked at the front of the car and didn't see anything new. He asked curiously, "What did you see?"
Guan Weiwei said, "As government officials, we look very powerful. But in reality, we still can't afford to offend local tyrants like Han Shui. Otherwise, we will die a horrible death. He is in the dark while we are in the light. If he wants to deal with us, he can find our flaws at any time. Unless we are strong and have no problems, we will not give him a chance to frame us. Otherwise, we will not be able to escape the knife that he will stab us in the back. And even if you really have no problems, it will be easy for him to deal with you. He can just ask your superior to deal with you and let your superior take care of you. So, when dealing with local tyrants like him, we can only be friends with him. "
