Li Rui was shocked and cried out involuntarily, "No way! Does that old fox have the guts to do that? "
Song Chaoyang shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. Director Yuan Song has ordered people to secretly investigate Jiang Wei's recent activities and friends to see who he has been in contact with and what he has done. Maybe we can find out the truth. But if we can't find anything, then there's nothing we can do. Jiang Wei can only take the blame. "
Li Rui felt a chill run down his spine. He said, "If there's another mastermind, like that old fox, then you're still in danger. You could be assassinated at any time in the future."
Song Chaoyang waved his hand and said, "I just subconsciously thought of that old fox. After all, he's the only one who isn't on good terms with me right now. But in reality, he wouldn't do such a thing. I believe he has a bottom line. As for the other mastermind, the assassination failed and Jiang Wei was involved. I believe that the mastermind won't dare to act rashly for a long time, so I'll be very safe. But just in case, Bureau Chief Yuan Song has already sent police officers from the Police Department over. They will wear plain clothes to carry out the protection mission and escort me to and from work. "
Li Rui was slightly relieved and said, "That's good. It's much safer. Oh right, car number one is also in need of repair. We won't take car number one in the future. It's too eye-catching and easy to be targeted. I'll ask Brother Zhou to change to a more inconspicuous car. "
Song Chaoyang nodded and sighed. He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that it would be so easy to get rid of Han Shui, but the post-Han Shui era is so difficult."
After work, the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Wei Hai, walked in hurriedly. Li Rui quickly stood up to welcome him.
"Is the Secretary at home?"
Li Rui nodded and said, "Yes, I'll open the door for you." He went around the desk and walked to the inner door. But he saw that Wei Hai looked excited, as if there was something good going on. He was curious but did not ask. After all, he was not very familiar with him.
After reporting, Li Rui opened the door and invited Wei Hai in. Song Chaoyang had already walked out and invited Wei Hai to take a seat.
Li Rui wanted to make tea for Wei Hai, but Wei Hai waved his hand and said, "I'm not drinking water. I'll leave after I explain the situation." After saying that, he did not sit down. He stood by the coffee table and said to Song Chaoyang, "Secretary, we have a major discovery about Huo Zhisong's escape."
Song Chaoyang perked up when he heard that. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? What is it? "
When Li Rui heard that it was about Huo Zhisong, he didn't go out. He went back to the door and closed it. He stood aside and listened quietly.
Wei Hai said excitedly, "After investigating and interrogating Huo Zhisong's secretary, we got an important piece of information from him. Huo Zhisong is keeping a woman. That woman is very beautiful and elegant. Huo Zhisong loves her very much. He bought her a house and a car and went to see her almost every day. He even spent the night at her place every one or two days. With how much Huo Zhisong loves her, he will definitely tell her if he escapes. After he settles down, he might even ask her to look for him. Therefore, as long as we monitor or even control that woman, we have a high probability of finding Huo Zhisong's whereabouts. "
Song Chaoyang was overjoyed and said, "Good, this news is really timely. I'll call Bureau Chief Yuan Song right away and ask him to order the joint investigation team of the Municipal Bureau and the Procuratorate to find that woman. Do you have information about that woman's identity? "
Wei Hai smiled and said, "Yes, I do."
Li Rui was also very happy. He stepped forward and said, "This also helped us find another way to find Huo Zhisong. It's through his wife, Xiao Xinli. Huo Zhisong's escape is such a big matter. It's impossible for him to not tell his wife, Xiao Xinli. But Xiao Xinli clenched her teeth and refused to admit it when facing our investigation team. Now, if we tell Xiao Xinli that Huo Zhisong is keeping a mistress, Xiao Xinli will very likely tell the investigation team about Huo Zhisong's whereabouts. We can give it a try. "
Wei Hai frowned and said, "We can do that, but it's not appropriate to let the investigation team do it. It seems a little … a little shady."
Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "Yes, we can say this in private, but it's not appropriate for the investigation team to say it to Xiao Xinli face to face."
Li Rui took the initiative and said, "Then let me do it. I'll talk to Xiao Xinli face to face." After that, he explained, "Right now, the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Municipal Procuratorate, and the Municipal Public Security Bureau all have the same goal of catching Huo Zhisong as soon as possible. We don't want to cause any more negative and deeper effects. Therefore, we have to try everything we can. I don't have anything to do tonight anyway, so I'll do it. It'll be a little bit of effort. "
Wei Hai looked at him with some admiration and said, "Xiao Rui is smart and clever. It's rare that you have such a positive attitude towards work. You have the courage to do things. You're really good! The Secretary has chosen the right person to be his secretary. "
Li Rui said modestly, "Secretary Wei, you flatter me. It's nothing. I'm just doing what I can do."
Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to Xiao Rui. You should go eat now. After dinner, go to Huo Zhisong's house and talk to Xiao Xinli. I hope you can bring back good news."
Wei Hai said, "I'll go back now. I'll ask the investigation team to send Huo Zhisong's address to your phone."
The plan had been decided, so it was to be carried out.
Li Rui sent Wei Hai out first, then came back to pack his things. He took his briefcase and went straight to the elevator lobby. He didn't plan to go to the backyard cafeteria for dinner first. He planned to see Xiao Xinli first, and it wouldn't be too late to have dinner after that.
In the elevator, Li Rui bumped into Ling Shuyao. Ling Shuyao had just gotten off work. She was holding a black leather handbag in her hand. She was dressed in a blouse and a short skirt. Although the colors weren't bright, she was naturally very attractive because of her good looks.
Li Rui didn't speak to her in front of outsiders. He only smiled and nodded as a greeting.
Ling Shuyao was even worse. She didn't even nod. She only glanced at him before looking away.
Li Rui walked out of the elevator and saw that Ling Shuyao was walking lazily. She didn't walk fast, so he deliberately slowed down and lagged behind her. When there were no outsiders nearby, he asked, "Has the Organization Department started to inspect you?"
Ling Shuyao glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. "You seem to know everything!"
Li Rui smiled and said, "Get ready to treat me to dinner."
Ling Shuyao pursed her lips and said, "Are you off work? It's rare for you to be so early. I'll treat you to dinner then. "
Li Rui said, "I can't eat yet. I have something to do first. If you can wait, you can wait for me for a while. It'll only be half an hour. Oh, right. You have a car. It would be better if you could drive me there. We'll go for dinner after I'm done. "
Ling Shuyao didn't ask what he was going to do. She said, "Come with me then."
Li Rui shook his head and said, "I can't get into your car in the residential area. Otherwise, there will be rumors about us tomorrow. I'll go out and turn left. I'll walk to the reception road next to the Qingyang Hotel. You can pick me up there. "
Ling Shuyao pursed her lips and gave him a look of disdain. She quickened her pace and walked out of the building.
Five minutes later, Ling Shuyao picked up Li Rui on the reception road. Li Rui had also received a text message from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection with Huo Zhisong's address.
"Jinnan District, Xingfu Road, Huahao Shidaiguo District!"
Li Rui reported his destination. Ling Shuyao didn't say anything and drove all the way south along the reception road.
"This time, because of the Han Shui case, a large number of officials are going to be transferred. You should have heard that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has just suspended nearly ten city officials. After these nearly ten officials stepped down, there are nearly ten vacancies left. I've already looked at them for you. Currently, the most suitable position for you is the Deputy Mayor of the Standing Committee of Gao Kai District. Haha. Congratulations, Mayor Ling! "
Ling Shuyao said, "Did you put in a good word for me in front of the Secretary?"
Li Rui smiled and shook his head. "The Secretary has always valued you and put you in an important position. Even if I didn't put in a good word for you, he wouldn't let go of this good opportunity to promote you. Of course, with how much he favors you, this Deputy Mayor of the Standing Committee is just a springboard. If I'm not wrong, you'll be promoted to a Deputy Mayor in half a year or at most a year. "
Although Ling Shuyao was used to pretending to be cold in front of him, she couldn't help but feel happy when she heard this series of good news. She curled her lips and smiled. "Looks like I'll have to treat you to a big meal tonight."
When the car arrived outside Huo Zhisong's neighborhood, Li Rui asked Ling Shuyao to wait in the car while he got out alone and walked into the neighborhood.
This was a high-end neighborhood with a high level of security. When Li Rui walked to the front of the building, he found that the door was tightly shut. He had to call the owner and ask him to open the door before he could enter. Unlike some of the loosely-managed neighborhoods, although there was a door lock on the building, the owner often left the door wide open for ease of entry and exit. They even used bricks and stones to block the door, and the property management didn't care about it.
Li Rui stood in front of the door and looked at the time. It was already 6: 30 p.m. He guessed that Xiao Xinli should have returned home by now. He raised his hand and pressed the button for 606.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the call was connected. Li Rui was facing the camera of the video phone. He rushed to say, "Hello, is this Xiao Xinli, Big Sister Xiao?"
A middle-aged woman's puzzled voice came from the other end. "Who are you? I don't think I know you. "
Li Rui said, "My name is Li Rui. I'm from the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. I'd like to ask you about Huo Zhisong's situation."
Xiao Xinli was puzzled. "The General Office of the Municipal Party Committee? Why are people from the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee looking for my husband? "
Li Rui smiled and said, "You'll know when you meet him. Would it be convenient for you to invite me to your house, Big Sister Xiao?"
Xiao Xinli saw that he was being so polite and didn't want to refuse. She pressed the button to open the door and said, "Come on up."
