Chen Lihan pointed at Xie Dingcai. The police officer nodded and shouted, "Take him away!"
Xie Dingcai was grabbed by the two police officers. He was shocked, angry, and anxious. He glared at Chen Lihan and said, "Sister-in-law, you … Did you f * cking call the police just now?"
Chen Lihan looked at him in disdain and didn't say a word.
Xie Dingcai made up his mind and played a lose-lose game. He shouted, "You can't arrest me. What right do you have to arrest me? Let me tell you, I'm the victim. This b * tch's husband … is Wu Ziqiang. He lost nine million playing cards with me and wrote me an IOU, but he didn't pay me back. He even raped my girlfriend. I have video evidence. I'm the victim. You shouldn't arrest me. You should arrest him. Arrest him! "
Wu Ziqiang looked at Chen Lihan in panic and shouted, "You … You really called the police? You don't know that this will get me killed … "
Chen Lihan didn't even look at him. She only looked at the police officer.
The middle-aged police officer said to Xie Dingcai coldly, "Don't try to quibble! You purposely set a trap for others and conspired to extort the city leaders. Do you think we don't know? Now you're pretending to be the victim. When will the police arrest the real victim? Take him away! "
The two police officers pushed Xie Dingcai and scolded him. They quickly took him out.
The other people, including Big Li and the other three men, were also taken away one by one in the police car.
The police officer looked at Wu Ziqiang and said, "Madam Chen, is this your husband? We also need to take him back to the station and ask him to give a statement. After that, we can go home. "
Chen Lihan said, "Okay."
Wu Ziqiang was still in shock. He said, "Chen … Chen Lihan, what are you doing? You told your brother-in-law about this? These police officers were sent by your brother-in-law? They're not arresting me, but just taking a statement? Do they know that I was framed? "
Chen Lihan ignored him and turned to walk to the door.
At the same time that Xie Dingcai, Wu Ziqiang, and the rest were taken to the elevator, Chen Lihan quietly entered the stairwell.
"Are you okay? Xie Dingcai and the rest were taken away? "
Li Rui was waiting in the stairwell. When he saw Chen Lihan, he asked with a smile.
Chen Lihan nodded and looked at him apologetically and gratefully. "Thank you for today …"
Li Rui said, "Don't say that. Xie Dingcai and the others actually schemed against Uncle. Since I know about it, how can I just ignore it?"
Chen Lihan asked, "Should we tell your uncle and my brother-in-law about this?"
Li Rui shook his head and said, "It's better not to tell him, lest he gets distracted. Let's just pretend that nothing happened. But if he finds out in the future and asks about us, we have to insist that it was you who called me for help after you realized Xie Dingcai's evil plan. That's why I found someone to help you. We weren't together from the beginning. "
Chen Lihan was both embarrassed and amused. She smiled and said, "I know. Do I still need you to tell me?"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
When they arrived downstairs, Li Rui said goodbye to Chen Lihan. He wanted to take a taxi home alone, but Chen Lihan insisted on driving him home. Li Rui couldn't refuse her kindness and had no choice but to get in the car.
According to Li Rui's request, Chen Lihan deliberately parked the car at the South Gate, which was relatively secluded. She didn't want their secret relationship to be discovered by outsiders.
"Drive slowly on the way home. If you need anything in the future, just give me a call!"
Before getting out of the car, Li Rui carefully reminded Chen Lihan.
Chen Lihan nodded and said, "I'm going back to my parents' house tonight. When Wu Ziqiang comes back tomorrow, I'll divorce him!"
Li Rui sighed and didn't know what to say. He grabbed her hand and said, "No matter what happens, I'll stand by your side."
Chen Lihan looked at him with her sparkling eyes and didn't say anything for a long time. She only held his hand tightly.
The next day was Monday. Early in the morning, Li Rui went to the preparation team for the "CEO Council" meeting and transferred six people to form an inspection team. He also asked for two cars from the small convoy. After a short meeting, the seven people in the two cars rushed to Shuanghe County's Jiupo Town for the last inspection before the "CEO Council".
The Shuanghe County's government had already received the notice. The County Head, Fang Qingyun, sent his secretary, Wu Naijin, to be in charge of the inspection team led by Li Rui. After Li Rui led the team to Shuanghe County, they met up with the reception team led by the office head. After a simple exchange, they formed a team and went to the main venue of the VIP meeting in Jiupo Town for inspection.
Li Rui and the others didn't say anything on the way. After arriving at the main venue, they were divided into three groups to inspect the details of reception, transportation, accommodation, communication, security, venue, and meeting schedule. After the inspection was completed and there were no problems, they went to the nearby poor villages that were closely related to the VIP meeting and the villages that were affected by last year's flood.
There were three poor villages in Jiupo Town that were listed as the model villages of Qingyang City's poverty alleviation. During the meeting, the provincial leaders and city leaders might randomly choose one or two villages to visit. In addition, some time ago, the provincial government allocated funds for the post-disaster reconstruction of the affected villages. The provincial leaders might visit and inspect the implementation of the funds. Therefore, there were two villages that were affected by the disaster as the model villages for the post-disaster reconstruction.
Therefore, Li Rui had to lead the team to inspect these five model villages to see the implementation of the various preparations.
When the inspection went on until 12: 15, the inspection of the three model villages for the poverty alleviation demonstration had been completed. There were no problems. Li Rui and the others didn't rest. They endured the hunger and rushed to the two villages that were affected by the disaster for inspection. The first stop was Xishan Village that Li Rui was most familiar with.
The current Xishan Village was completely different from the previous Xishan Village. In the past, the road from Xishan Village to the village was all dirt roads. When it rained, it would become a muddy road full of potholes. There was no way to step on it. The walls of the residential houses on the side of the road were also tattered. With the chaotic scene after the flood as a contrast, it was simply unbearable to look at.
Now, the dirt road into the village had become a clean and spacious asphalt road. The walls of the residential houses on the side of the road had also changed from adobe walls to brick walls. The walls were painted with promotional pictures and slogans, looking clean, modern, and warm. There was a solar street lamp every forty to fifty meters on the side of the road. The suitable open space in the village had been built with bricks and stones for the nearby villagers to dump their garbage. In summary, the dilapidated Xishan Village of the past had disappeared. It had been replaced by a modern and civilized new village.
Li Rui was surprised and happy when he saw it. He couldn't believe that Xishan Village could become like this. If an outsider came, they definitely wouldn't think that this was an extremely poor village, right?
Everyone walked around the village. Li Rui found that some of the residential houses that were severely affected by the disaster last year had been effectively repaired. The houses of several extremely poor families were newly built. Basically, other than the old houses that no one lived in, all the residential houses in the village were presentable. Overall, the village's appearance had improved greatly compared to before. It was much better than before the disaster. This also proved that the special relief funds allocated by the province were all used effectively. He believed that the provincial leaders would be very satisfied after visiting.
Just before they were about to get into the car and leave Xishan Village, Li Rui inadvertently looked up and suddenly saw a tall lighthouse in the middle of the village. This "lighthouse" wasn't a real lighthouse. It was just a description of its height and brightness. It was four to five stories tall. At the top was a huge light cover that looked like a mushroom head. Below the light cover were eight LED lights that were inlaid like lotus petals. It was the kind of high-pole lighting used in most plazas in the city.
Li Rui looked at the tallest "building" in the village that didn't fit in with the surrounding environment. For a moment, he was lost in thought. After a while, he came back to his senses. His face was already showing anger. He asked the accompanying Shuanghe County Government Office Director Wu Naijin, "Director Wu, was that lighthouse also installed in the village during this renovation project?" After he said that, he pointed over.
Wu Naijin and Li Rui could be considered old acquaintances. They had interacted a few times in the past and had even eaten at the same table. He wasn't unfamiliar with him. Facing his question, he wasn't nervous. He first looked over a few times, then shook his head and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, Director Li. This … I really don't know. If you want to know, I can find someone to ask around for you."
Li Rui said with a cold expression, "The special relief funds allocated by the province last time must be used where it is most needed. The street lights installed in the village are very needed. It's right to spend money to install them. But I don't know what's the use of that huge lighthouse? As an extremely poor village, does Xishan Village have a leisure plaza? If there's no plaza, wouldn't it be a waste to install such a huge lighthouse? If the provincial leaders come to visit and see this lighthouse, what will they think? What will they think of us city and county officials? Is this aid to the poor or extravagant? "
When Wu Naijin heard this, he realized the importance of the question. He was so scared that he looked uneasy. He hurriedly said, "I'll get someone to check right away. Please wait a moment, Director Li." As he spoke, he was about to call his subordinates over to make the arrangements.
Li Rui waved his hand and said, "No need. Let's drive over and take a look. I want to see where the lighthouse is installed." After saying that, he got into the car.
Everyone drove to the location of the lighthouse and saw that it was none other than the courtyard of the two village committees of Xishan Village!
Li Rui got out of the car and saw that it was the courtyard of the two village committees. He was so angry that his nose was crooked. He said to Wu Naijin, "Immediately gather the village secretary and village director. Ask them who proposed to install this lighthouse? And where did they spend the money? "
