Gu Yingtong said, "Ah, yes … I suddenly wanted to go to the supermarket to buy something, but I bumped into that person on the phone. Luckily, I had talked to him before, so I recognized his voice."
Li Rui pointed to the east and said, "Turn right after you leave the guest house. There's a small supermarket a few meters away."
Gu Yingtong smiled and nodded. "I know. Then … I'll go first."
Li Rui smiled and said, "Okay. Take care." He stood there and watched her leave. When she was out of his sight, he turned around and went back upstairs. On the way, he called Zixuan and told her that he was delayed by something and would be late. He asked her to watch TV to relieve her boredom.
When he returned to his room, Li Rui immediately called the Secretary of the County Party Committee, Fang Qingyun. He told her that Sun Jianwen had bribed him under Zhang Jinbo's instructions and plotted to frame him. He also said that he would not let Zhang Jinbo off so easily and would seek revenge. Therefore, he asked Zhang Jinbo to come over as a witness. When he came over, it would be best if he could bring along the County Magistrate, Chen Kui. With so many witnesses, it would be better if Li Rui and Fang Qingyun were secretly colluding to suppress dissidents.
Fang Qingyun was shocked when she heard about it. Almost nothing like this had ever happened in Shuanghe County. This was the first time she had heard of such a case. She did not expect it to happen to Li Rui, who had just started working in Shuanghe County. Although Li Rui's reform measures were a little drastic, it was all about fairness. Moreover, this reform was imperative. It was fine if Zhang Jinbo did not understand or support it, but he actually used such despicable means to force Li Rui to step down and stop the reform process. It was really infuriating and hateful. How could such a cadre not be severely punished? She immediately agreed and said that she would definitely call Chen Kui. Then she thought of another person and said, "I'll call the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Sun Zhonghua. With him as a representative of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, not only can he be a witness, but he can also punish Zhang Jinbo."
Li Rui was about to agree when he suddenly thought of something and shouted, "No, you can't call Sun Zhonghua!"
"What's wrong? Why can't we call him? "
Fang Qingyun felt very strange. Wasn't it better to have Sun Zhonghua, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, present? It would save a lot of trouble for later operations. Why didn't Li Rui agree?
Li Rui said anxiously, "You don't know, but Zhang Jinbo is Sun Zhonghua's man. The incident yesterday afternoon was done by the two of them. I didn't give Sun Zhonghua any face at that time, but he didn't say anything bad. Instead, he was very friendly to me. Isn't that strange? I had just thought that Sun Zhonghua might be involved in Zhang Jinbo's scheme to frame me. Even if he was not involved, he should know about it. If not, I don't dare to imagine how Zhang Jinbo, a Deputy Section Chief, dares to frame me. Therefore, if you let Sun Zhonghua know about my plan, he might reveal it to Zhang Jinbo in advance. This way, Zhang Jinbo and Sun Jianwen won't fall for it. "
Fang Qingyun thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, then it's fine. I just don't tell Sun Zhonghua about the purpose of this trip. We don't need to do this in the guest house, in case Sun Zhonghua thinks about it. We can find another place with an inner and outer rooms. I will take Chen Kui and Sun Zhonghua to hide in the inner room. You can deal with Sun Jianwen in the outer room. The three of us will be able to hear what you say, but Sun Zhonghua won't know about your presence. What do you think? "
Li Rui smiled and said, "That's great. I will have an excuse to ask Sun Jianwen to give me the money again. I will say that there are too many people in the guest house, and we might be discovered. That's why I rejected him the first time. I will only dare to accept his money when we are outside."
Fang Qingyun said, "Okay. Then arrange for us to go to the VIP room on the third floor of the Huangting Hotel. I have a private room there called Wangyue Pavilion. It is divided into two rooms. The room is separated by a carved wooden window in the middle. The people in the room can hear everything clearly. I will bring some people there first. You can go there after I arrive. I will ask my secretary to take care of you when you arrive. "
Li Rui thanked him and hung up the phone. Then he called Lin Lewen, the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, and asked him for Sun Jianwen's contact information. After getting it, he called Sun Jianwen again.
Sun Jianwen had not reached home yet. He was riding his electric scooter toward home. Suddenly, he received a call from an unknown number. He hesitated for a moment before slowing down and answering the call.
"Hello, is this Sun Jianwen?"
Sun Jianwen felt that the voice was familiar. It seemed that he had heard it before, but he could not remember where. However, he could feel the imposing manner of the other party. He said, "Ah, I am. Who is this?"
It was Li Rui on the other end of the phone. He said, "Director Sun, you are so forgetful. Can't you recognize my voice? I am County Magistrate Li, the one you just visited. "
"What?" Sun Jianwen was shocked. He immediately stopped his electric scooter by the roadside. He took out his phone and looked at the number. He could not believe that it was Li Rui calling him.
Li Rui was not in a hurry to tell him why he was calling. He was waiting for Sun Jianwen to take the bait.
Sun Jianwen was stunned for a moment. He quickly shouted, "County Magistrate Li, you … why are you looking for me?"
Li Rui laughed and said, "Why can't I look for you? Where are you now? Do you still want to solve the problem of becoming an official employee? "
Sun Jianwen was surprised and happy. His heart was pounding as if it would jump out of his chest at any time. However, he could not believe his ears. He said, "No … you … didn't you just refuse?"
Li Rui laughed and said, "Are you stupid? The hostel is located opposite the county committee and the county government. There are many local leaders and cadres living there. There are many people with bad intentions watching me. I don't know how many people have seen you enter and leave my room. Tell me, under these circumstances, do you think I dare to take your money? "
Sun Jianwen grinned foolishly. It was as if he had just been proposed to by a beautiful woman who had just rejected him. He said in puzzlement, "Then why do you dare to … dare to contact me again?"
Li Rui said, "I think it's not easy for you. I want to help you. I also like your cleverness, so I made an exception and opened the back door for you. I am now on my way to Huangting Hotel. I have already booked a private room in Wangyue Pavilion. You can go there in 20 minutes. We will meet in the private room. Take the money with you. Don't bring anything else. Be careful on the road. Don't let anyone see you. "
Sun Jianwen was so happy that he almost jumped out of his scooter. After Li Rui hung up the phone, Sun Jianwen smiled happily for a while. Suddenly, he remembered that he should inform Zhang Jinbo about this matter. He called him to inform him.
When Zhang Jinbo heard this situation, he was also very surprised. However, Li Rui's excuse was unexpected yet reasonable, so he had no reason to doubt it. He thought carefully for a long time and finally decided that Li Rui had taken the bait. This was also reasonable. He said excitedly, "Okay, then Jianwen, you will carry out the original plan. Before you enter the room, you should turn on the recording app on your phone and record your conversation with Li Rui. This way, we will be more confident. Of course, if there is no chance, then forget it. But if Li Rui accepts the money, he will not have a good ending. "
Sun Jianwen was also very happy. He said, "Haha. My Bureau Chief is back."
Zhang Jinbo said, "Well, as long as we can deal with Li Rui, I will promote you to the Bureau Chief as soon as possible …"
With this promise, Sun Jianwen was full of energy. He laughed proudly, turned around, and rushed to the Royal Court Hotel. He hadn't even gone 100 meters when he bumped into his female deskmate from junior high. He wanted to chat with her, but since Li Rui said that he would be there in 20 minutes, he wasn't in a hurry …
In Li Rui's room, after he finished the call with Sun Jianwen, he put down the bag of clothes and walked out of the guest house. He stopped a taxi by the roadside and rushed to Huangting Hotel. After he got on the road, he looked around to see if there were any suspicious people or vehicles following him around the guest house. He didn't know that Zhang Jinbo was going to take revenge on him before, so he didn't take precautions. Now that he knew, of course, he had to be careful. If he didn't consider this point, then the operation later might fail, and even be discovered by Zhang Jinbo's spies. That would be equivalent to personally giving them a huge handle that could be used against him. Wouldn't that be too convenient for them?
This situation was different from the situation in the city. Although there were also situations of being followed and monitored in the city, there were many people and cars in the city. The city was also big, so it was not easy to be followed. Even if someone was following, there was a high chance of escaping. But in the county, there were only so many people in the county. There were only a few streets. It was easy to be followed, and it was not easy to escape from the other party's sight.
There was an old saying, "Great hermits hide in the city." This was the true portrayal of this principle!
However, Li Rui looked around for a long time. The taxi he was in had already driven hundreds of meters away, but he didn't find any suspicious people or vehicles. It seemed that Zhang Jinbo didn't send anyone to follow and monitor him. Of course, this was the best result.
When he arrived at Huangting Hotel, Li Rui was worried that he would be seen by Sun Zhonghua, who would arrive later, if he went to Wangyue Pavilion too early. Therefore, he first strolled in a nearby supermarket. When he saw that it was almost time and Sun Jianwen was about to arrive, he took out his phone and called Fang Qingyun. After he got confirmation that Chen Kui and Sun Zhonghua had arrived at the private room, he strode over.
When he arrived at the door of Wangyue Pavilion, Li Rui first met Fang Qingyun's secretary, Ren Xiaowen, an honest and gentle young man. Because of his relationship with the boss, Ren Xiaowen and Li Rui were old acquaintances. Tonight, he received orders from the boss. When he saw Li Rui, he immediately went forward to greet him and introduced the situation in the private room.
In fact, there was nothing going on in the private room. Fang Qingyun, Chen Kui, and Sun Zhonghua were drinking tea in the inner room, waiting for the show to start. However, only Fang Qingyun knew what was going to happen. Chen Kui and Sun Zhonghua were kept in the dark.
Li Rui was then led into Wangyue Pavilion by Ren Xiaowen. He sat down on the solid wood sofa in the outer room and waited for Sun Jianwen to arrive. As for Ren Xiaowen, he walked into the inner room and served the three county leaders water.
