Xiao Dawei didn't know that Li Rui and Lu Qingman were husband and wife, so when he heard Ji Gang say the names of the two women, his expression didn't change much. He stared at Li Rui to see his reaction and judge whether these two things were true. If they were false, then everything would be fine; if they were true, then they would follow Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng's wishes. After all, they were all on the same side. Even Yu Heping knew to protect Ji Gang's interests at all times, so what was wrong with them protecting Li Rui? Li Rui was young, but his EQ was very high. He was smart and knew how to conduct himself. Even if such an outstanding person made a few mistakes, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Li Rui shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Ji Gang, since you broke the law, you should fully recognize your mistakes and accept the investigation. You should turn over a new leaf and wait for the future to become a better person. Why do you still maintain that despicable, shameless, and ugly face from before and slander me? Are you taking revenge on me for showing you the evidence of your crimes at such a critical moment? "
Ji Gang ignored him and said angrily to Song Chaoyang, "Secretary, I did make a mistake. I admit that you've punished me, but I strongly request that you also punish Li Rui and investigate his conduct. Everything I said just now is the truth. No matter how much Li Rui denies it, it's useless. Once the facts are investigated, they can be found out. It's not something that can be covered up with words. Please be fair and just, or else I … humph … I won't accept being punished. "After he finished speaking, he put on an angry expression.
Song Chaoyang was so angry that he almost laughed out loud. He said, "What do you mean, I still have to protect Li Rui?"
Ji Gang said, "I wouldn't dare. That's not what I meant. I just want the Secretary to handle this matter impartially and punish Li Rui and me."
Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Why should I?"
Ji Gang was stunned and said, "Why? Just based on the fact that he had messed around with Ou Yangxin and Lu Qingman, wasn't this an extremely serious lifestyle problem? If there's a problem with his lifestyle, then his work style won't be any better. There will definitely be more violations of law and discipline. If we don't set the rules, he won't tell us the truth. "
Du Minsheng couldn't take it anymore. He said with a sullen face, "Ji Gang, do you know whose wife Lu Qingman is?"
Ji Gang turned to look at him and said, "I don't know. It's said that Lu Qingman is a temporary employee in the provincial government. Her husband should be in the provincial capital. They live in different places, which gave Li Rui an opportunity to take advantage of them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have succeeded so quickly. If her husband knew about this, he would definitely be furious. He might even come to the Municipal Party Committee to make a scene. Secretary General, it's almost time to set the rules. Li Rui's problem is too serious. The consequences are too bad! "
Li Rui nodded and said, "Yes, it's true that her husband is about to die from anger. However, it's not because of me. It's because of you, Director Ji!"
Ji Gang stared at him with disdain and said, "Li Rui, what nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with me? You're still pestering me at this time. Are you trying to change the topic? Do you think changing the topic can get you out of the two rules? "
Li Rui sneered and said, "If I told you that I'm Lu Qingman's husband, would you still say that I'm pestering you?"
Ji Gang was startled at first, but then he sneered and said, "Are you panicking because I exposed your scandal? Are you spouting nonsense? How dare you say something like that? Do you think you can cover up your lifestyle problem by saying that? You're too naive. Haha, haha … "
He sneered and looked at Song Chaoyang and the other two leaders. He thought that the three leaders would also look down on Li Rui. However, he didn't expect to see disdain on Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng's faces. He was shocked. His smile froze on his face. He nervously looked at the two leaders' expressions. He didn't know why they were looking at him like that. Could it be that Li Rui was telling the truth?
Du Minsheng was no longer interested in listening to Ji Gang's nonsense. He said coldly, "Xiao Rui is right. Lu Qingman is his wife. She came from the provincial capital to take up a temporary position because she didn't want to be separated from Xiao Rui. Ji Gang, do you have anything else to say? "
Ji Gang was shocked. He looked at Li Rui in disbelief. His mouth was wide open, as if his chin would fall to the ground at any time.
Song Chaoyang snorted angrily and said, "Ji Gang, I didn't realize until today that you're so despicable, shameless, and vicious. You've refreshed my understanding of shamelessness." He then instructed Li Rui, "Xiao Rui, call Secretary Wei. Ask him why the two regulations team hasn't arrived yet!"
Li Rui knew that he was just expressing his anger and disgust towards Ji Gang. He didn't really want to rush Wei Hai, so he agreed. He pretended to go out to make the call, but when he went out, he just sat at his desk and busied himself with work.
Du Minsheng and Xiao Dawei quickly came out. Li Rui stood up to send them off.
Xiao Dawei laughed and said, "Xiao Rui, you really hid your marriage well. After all this fuss, Minister Lu is your wife?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "Secretary Xiao, you must be joking. I didn't hide it on purpose. I just didn't want to show it to the public."
Xiao Dawei sighed and said, "Ji Gang is really crazy to the extreme. I never knew that he was such a person."
Li Rui explained, "I also didn't know that Ji Gang was such a person. That time, I just went to Ou Yangxin's office in Shengjing Hotel for business. He found out and thought that I had an ambiguous relationship with Ou Yangxin. Another time, I took Qingman out for a meal and he saw us. He actually thought that our relationship was not pure. Sigh, how can this person be like this? His mind is full of dirty thoughts. I really have to hand it to him."
Du Minsheng waved his hand and said, "You still don't understand. He's not full of dirty thoughts. He's retaliating before he dies. He wants to vilify you and take revenge. He wants to pour dirty water on your head. Even if he doesn't drown you, he wants to disgust you. As for you, don't lower yourself to his level. Don't lower yourself to his level. "
Xiao Dawei also said, "That's right. He's finished this time. Yu Heping can't save him. There's no need to be angry with him."
Li Rui exchanged some pleasantries with the two leaders and sent them out. When he came back and sat down, he thought about the scene where Ji Gang suddenly used his killer move. He was still a little scared. Luckily, this guy thought he was smart and mentioned Qingman. Otherwise, if he only mentioned Ou Yangxin, it would be hard for him to explain. Sigh, he was really lucky.
After five minutes, the two teams sent by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection arrived and took Ji Gang away.
Before Ji Gang left, he glanced at Li Rui. His eyes were full of resentment and hatred.
Li Rui didn't feel anything about it. Ji Gang was finished this time. Just the crime of leaking information to Han Shui was enough to destroy his career. Not to mention, he might have committed a lot of other illegal acts. If things went well, he could still be a normal citizen. If things went wrong, he might even be sent to prison for a few years. In the future, he wouldn't cause any harm to himself. Naturally, there was no need to worry about him. What he really needed to worry about was Yu Heping's revenge.
This time, the old fox Yu Heping lost his left hand and lost face in front of all the leaders. He definitely won't let this go. He might not be able to do anything to his boss, Song Chaoyang, but it's easy for him to do anything to him. He will definitely take revenge. It seems like he has to be more careful in the future. Of course, it didn't matter if he was scheming or not. After all, he still had the video of him and Zheng Meili having an affair. If he really forced him, he could use it to counterattack.
Li Rui pondered for a while. Suddenly, he thought of something. He took out his phone and called Zhen Jie, who was far away in the provincial capital. Han Shui had been arrested and his gang members had been caught. She could come back now.
"Hello, it's me. Han Shui and his gang members have been arrested. The city is safe now. You and Ziyu can come back now."
After the call was connected, Li Rui went straight to the point.
Zhen Jie smiled and said, "Ziyu and I are back."
Li Rui was shocked. He smiled and said, "Really?"
Zhen Jie said, "I have friends and sisters in the city. When they heard that Han Shui was arrested, they immediately told me. Ziyu and I were homesick, so we secretly drove back this morning. I knew you were busy, so I didn't tell you. Hehe, you don't mind, right? "
Li Rui whispered, "I'm happy that you guys are back safely. Why would I mind? I just didn't expect that you guys would come back so quickly. "
Zhen Jie smiled and said, "Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together."
Li Rui said, "I have a lot of things to do these two days, including the weekend. I might not have time. Let's wait for next week. I'm relieved that you're back. There will be plenty of chances for us to have dinner together in the future. "
Zhen Jie nodded and said, "Then you go ahead. We'll talk later."
Li Rui said, "Don't hang up yet. What are your plans now that you're back? Are you going to continue being the owner of the Red Pavilion? "
Zhen Jie faintly sighed and said, "I heard that the Red Pavilion has been sealed. Furthermore, I've already severed my relationship with Han Shui. How can I continue to occupy his business?"
Li Rui whispered, "The Red Pavilion's seal is only temporary. It will definitely be lifted after some time. With Han Shui's death, the Red Pavilion will be ownerless for a long time in the future. Why don't you take over it again? Don't worry, I'll go to Han Shui and ask for it for you. It'll be his compensation for hurting you. You can continue to be the boss of the Red Pavilion. "
Zhen Jie asked in a low voice, "What about Han Shui's wife? What about his son? "
Li Rui said, "They've been arrested too. They have to serve their sentences."
Zhen Jie thought for a while and said, "There's no rush. Let me think about it."
Li Rui said, "Alright. Oh right, how's your relationship with Wang Huan?"
Zhen Jie said, "It's alright. Why?"
Li Rui said, "You can go to the hospital to visit him when you have time. He wanted to escape from Han Shui's control and caused a car accident. His lumbar vertebrae were broken and his spinal nerves were damaged. He's been paralyzed ever since."
