Xu Guang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to County Magistrate Li. I'll do whatever you ask me to do. I don't ask for anything else now. I just want to do some good deeds with you to atone for my past mistakes. "
Li Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "There are many people like you in the police force who have a conscience. That's why you're always the guardian that the people trust and respect."
After this conversation, the estrangement between the two disappeared. Not only did they have a better understanding of each other's temperament, but they also had a tacit understanding. A friendship that was both public and private, between superiors and subordinates, slowly developed between the two of them.
The two of them then exchanged phone numbers and promised to keep in touch in the future to work hard for the same goal. After that, they shook hands and said goodbye, and Xu Guang left first.
Li Rui went back to the ward to find Cui Guangli. He told her to be patient and recuperate first. After she recovered, she could resume her normal life and work and wait for him to seek justice for her. The waiting period might be a little long, but it couldn't be helped. After all, the opponent was not an ordinary person.
Cui Guangli expressed her understanding. She thanked him profusely and wanted to see him out. Li Rui saw that she was injured and didn't want to trouble her. He stopped her in the ward and walked to the elevator hall.
Coincidentally, just as he walked to the elevator lobby, the elevator door opened, and a beautiful woman in white walked out. That beautiful woman was in her twenties, and she had rose-red shoulder-length hair. She wore a pair of big sunglasses that covered half of her face, but even so, it couldn't hide her one-in-a-million beauty. She wore a pair of bright blue high-heeled shoes and a Louis Vuitton bag in her hand. She walked out of the elevator with the demeanor of a beautiful woman, and it was hard not to notice her.
Li Rui wasn't attracted to her. He just glanced at her casually. After glancing at her, he felt that she was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her not long ago.
When the beauty walked out of the elevator and saw him, she was stunned and immediately stopped in her tracks. The corners of her mouth quickly curled up, and her expression became incomparably ferocious and vicious. She opened her mouth and was about to speak when she suddenly thought of something. She closed her red lips and lowered her head, pretending not to know him as she walked into the corridor.
Li Rui saw her vicious face in an instant. Suddenly, he thought of a woman, but he didn't dare to confirm it. When the beautiful woman turned around, he caught the appearance of her eyebrows under the sunglasses. His heart jumped. Wasn't it her? Shang Meimei, the female driver who claimed to be Hu Zhixin's sister and ordered the thugs to attack Cui Guangli's family? But why did she suddenly come to the hospital? And he just happened to run to the floor where Cui Guangli's family was hospitalized? Could it be that she suddenly found her conscience and came to compensate Cui Guangli's family? No, no, no. This is impossible. Even if the sun rises from the west, she will never do such a thing. Li Rui started to get suspicious. He is not in a hurry to return to the Investment Promotion Agency, and he decided to follow this woman to see what she is up to. He waited until she turned into the corridor and followed her silently.
Shang Meimei asked around at the nurse's desk and walked further down the corridor before turning into a ward. Li Rui, who was following behind, saw the ward clearly. If that is not Cui Guangli's family's ward, then where is it? Li Rui got more confused and quickly chased after Shang Meimei. When he reached the ward, the door was open, and Shang Meimei was standing in the room, talking about something. Li Rui quickly hid behind the door to eavesdrop.
"… Are your wounds still painful? Are you feeling uncomfortable lying in bed all day? Are you worried about not being able to work and earning money? Hmph! Let me tell you all! This is the consequence of offending me! You bunch of bumpkins! "You idiot surnamed Cui, I'm telling you, you don't have a discerning eye and you deserve to be cut down. You're lucky that I didn't run you over. Damn it, you didn't stop to let me go when you saw that I was going to turn the corner. I had gotten off the car and hit you for your own good. I am teaching you a lesson. You should feel honored and let me hit you until I am happy. But you are not happy and insisted on calling for help. In the end, you called a bunch of good-for-nothings over, and my men settled all of you in the end.
What happened after that … You fawned over a small Deputy County Magistrate named Li. But what did that Deputy County Magistrate Li do for you in the end? In the end, nothing happened to me, and I am still having a good time outside. But you all got hit for nothing, and you all still have to stay in the hospital. You all still have to pay for your own medical bills. You can't work, and you don't have any income. Aren't you miserable? Aren't you idiots? But now you should understand that there are some people in this society that you can't afford to offend. You are only fit to be their stepping stones. You are trash at the bottom … "
Li Rui, who was outside the door, was furious, but he also understood the purpose of Shang Meimei's visit. She deliberately came to show off in front of Cui Guangli's family. With the help of Meng Shuhai, she was able to escape the punishment of the law. She could even say that she had defeated this meddlesome deputy county magistrate. Naturally, she was very proud of herself. This pride could not be suppressed and was about to be vented out. Therefore, she came to Cui Guangli's family to show off and satisfy her humble vanity. It had to be said that there were not many women in the world who could be so vicious and mean to this extent.
Li Rui was so angry that his eyes were wide open and his fists were clenched. He could not wait to rush into the house, catch this vicious woman, and give her a slap. But wait, if he really did that, what good would it do? At most, it would let him vent his anger, but would it be able to seek justice for Cui Guangli's family? Not only would it not, but it would also deepen his hatred for this woman, Hu Zhixin, and Meng Shuhai behind her. At that time, if any of the three of them took revenge on him, even if he could handle it, wouldn't it make a mess of his life and work? So, it was better to endure it for the time being and let her be proud for a while. When he got rid of Meng Shuhai and replaced him with a fair and responsible new Public Security Bureau Chief, he would settle all his old and new debts with her.
Taking a few deep breaths, Li Rui slowly calmed down the anger in his heart. Then, he turned around and silently walked toward the elevator lobby. He secretly prayed that Xu Guang would get the evidence of Meng Shuhai's illegal activities as soon as possible and get rid of this evil bureau chief. Otherwise, he would never be able to touch evil people like Shang Meimei and Hu Zhixin.
On the way back to the Investment Promotion Agency, Li Rui called Zixuan and asked her not to come to his office for the time being. It's easy for her to come to Shuang He from the Provincial City, and it's only two to three hours of driving. But if someone finds out about her intimate relationship with him in the County, especially Meng Shuhai and Hu Zhixin, who are investigating him, he will be in deep trouble. That's why he must eliminate this risk for now.
As they were talking on the phone, another call came in. Li Rui took out his phone and saw Ding Yijing calling. He is overjoyed and hung up after brushing Zixuan off. Then, he answered Ding Yijing's call.
Li Rui does not love Ding Yijing more than Zixuan. It's just that he had finished talking to Zixuan and did not have anything important to say. Ding Yijing's call might be important, and that's why Li Rui had to answer her call first. If the two calls were reversed, Li Rui would also brush off Ding Yijing and answer Zixuan's call.
"Did you miss me?"
Ding Yijing is no longer as cold and elegant as before. She started talking to Li Rui affectionately.
Over the past three years, she had been diligently managing the mahogany engraving factory that Li Rui had given her. She had diligently managed it herself, and with the help of Li Rui's connections, the business of the engraving factory had become increasingly prosperous. The scale of the engraving factory, whether it was the location, the manpower, or the sales volume, had all increased by several times. Now, the carving factory not only owns the original site outside the North Third Ring Road, but also bought a piece of land with an area of 100 mu in the north for the new factory. The mahogany raw materials in the factory take up more than 10 mu of land. There are nearly 200 workers in the factory. The annual output is tens of millions, and the net profit is more than 10 million. She is already a rich woman.
However, she didn't change her personality. For example, she didn't become extravagant because of her wealth, or become arrogant because she was spoiled, or look down on Li Rui. She always scrupulously adhered to her status. Li Rui is a low-key woman. If you want to add an adjective to this identity, you can only say that she knows how to make money. What's more, she insists that the money is shared between her and Li Rui. She basically doesn't spend much. Except for the necessary clothes and cosmetics, she doesn't spend much. She saves all her income for Li Rui to use. Of course, Li Rui has never used her money and insists that the money belongs to her alone.
In addition, she was getting used to, or rather, she was enjoying her current work and life. At work, there was a large engraving factory that needed to be carefully managed day in and day out. This gave her something to do every day, and she didn't have the time to think about other things, so she couldn't create other troubles. For example, she wouldn't think about whether Li Rui had another woman or not. In terms of life, although she was nominally single, she had Li Rui as her husband from time to time, so it was almost the same as being married. Moreover, the occasional meeting between her and Li Rui could still maintain a sense of distance and mystery between the two of them, and it could still preserve their relationship. This was much better than being married.
It can be said that Ding Yijing's career and love have reached a double harvest. She can enjoy satisfaction every day. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is one of the happiest women in the world.
When Li Rui heard her slightly mischievous words, he couldn't help but laugh. This girl is getting more and more open under my guidance. He nodded.
Ding Yijing didn't take the opportunity to be glib or flirt. She knew that it is inconvenient for him to talk, so she said, "I'm not busy today. I'll go to Shuanghe to accompany you tonight."
