Zhang Yijin and her daughter usually worked, studied, and lived in the reinforced concrete city. They rarely saw the magnificent natural scenery in front of them, so they were very excited. The two girls were like parrots that had been released from their cages. They chattered about each other's feelings and were very excited.
Li Rui saw it and secretly found it funny, but he also felt a little sorry for them.
After the car arrived at the Pegasus Ferry, Li Rui saw that it was still early. There were still one or two hours before dark, so he found a scenic spot to park the car. He wanted to take the mother and daughter to experience the special entertainment there. The mother and daughter happily agreed.
"Here!"
Before getting out of the car, Zhang Yijin suddenly grabbed Li Rui's shoulder and clothes and handed him a pair of sunglasses.
Li Rui looked back and saw that she was also wearing sunglasses and a hat. She covered herself very well. He secretly admired her thoughtfulness. He took the sunglasses and said, "You also prepared one for me?"
Zhang Yijin pointed at the crowded tourists by the river and said, "Of course. You're the county leader here, so you're half a public figure. Of course, you have to pay attention to your privacy when you come out to play."
Li Rui grinned at her, put on the sunglasses, and got out of the car.
In the following time, Li Rui took the mother and daughter to play on bamboo rafts, rafting, fishing, and riding on the grassland by the river for a while. Later, when they saw that it was not early, they returned to the car and drove to find a secluded place to camp. Camping required the quiet feeling of "experiencing the heartbeat of nature". It was still necessary to find a place where no one was around to camp. If they were crowded in the same place as other tourists, it would be meaningless for everyone to camp together.
Li Rui found a good place by the river upstream, about six miles away from the Flying Horse Ferry. It was a small area, about the size of a basketball court. It was a flat and dry beach, located in Heyang. Inside it was the Fairy River that flowed endlessly. The current in this section of the river was gentle, and the water was not deep. It was so clear that one could see the bottom. One could play in the water, and if one was not afraid of the cold, one could even bathe in it. On the opposite bank were cliffs and precipices. The scenery could be described as beautiful. Outside was a forest, and beyond that was the main road along the Fairy River. It had the quiet privacy needed for camping, and it was also close to the road, making it convenient to deal with unexpected situations.
Li Rui drove the car down the mountain road and parked it in the forest. Then, he brought Zhang Yijia and her mother to move down the camping equipment and walked to the middle of the river to start setting up the tents and setting up the camp.
The simple and easy tasks were handed over to the two girls. Li Rui had a more important task, which was to search for branches and firewood nearby to use for the bonfire at night.
When he was almost done, the sky had turned dark. At this moment, Li Rui suddenly received a call from Bo Yubing.
"Where are you? The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection's two regulations team had arrived a long time ago. They had also contacted Meng Shuhai and asked him to return to the county committee for questioning. He had agreed, but he had not returned for a long time. It was already dark, but he still had not returned. They could not get through to him on the phone. The two regulations team suspected that he was hiding or even running away. Do you know where he is? "
Bo Yubing's tone was urgent and serious. She went straight to the point and explained the matter clearly. She did not mention the previous unpleasantness with him, and there was no emotion in her words. It was obvious that the current situation was very important.
Li Rui could not believe his ears and shouted, "What did you say? It can't be. The two regulations team directly revealed their identity and contacted Meng Shuhai to ask him to start questioning him? "
Bo Yubing said, "Yes, as far as I know, that's the case. What else could they do? Play tricks and trick him to come back? Do you know where Meng Shuhai is? "
Li Rui frowned and strolled to the riverside. He asked, "Don't ask me first. Let me ask you, when did the two regulations team arrive? Did they go to the county public security bureau? Did they ask the comrades in the county public security bureau about Meng Shuhai's whereabouts? He should have a meeting today. I have to find out if Meng Shuhai hid before or after the two regulations team arrived. Otherwise, I don't know where he went. "
Bo Yubing said, "The two regulations team arrived at three o 'clock. They probably did not go to the public security bureau and directly called Meng Shuhai from the county committee … Don't ask me, I don't know either. I only know that the two regulations team could not find Meng Shuhai, so they asked me, the county magistrate, for help."
Li Rui said, "I'll ask someone." He hung up the phone and called Xu Guang. He sighed in his heart. Were the comrades in the two regulations team of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection all straightforward? How could they deal with a treacherous and completely corrupt public security bureau chief like Meng Shuhai in the same way as they dealt with ordinary cadres? They had to resort to trickery. It was good enough that they could catch him by trickery. He thought again that this matter was also his fault. He did not explain it clearly to his boss, Song Chaoyang.
The call was quickly connected. Xu Guang's voice came from the other end. "Hello, County Magistrate Li, it's me!"
"Do you know where Meng Shuhai is now?"
Xu Guang was stunned and said, "Uh … He is now in the villa at Tianlong Lake. I sent him there and came back. He will spend the night there. Don't you know that?"
Li Rui said, "I know, but the situation has changed. The two regulations team of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has arrived in the county. They have also contacted Meng Shuhai to ask about him, but Meng Shuhai has not shown up yet. I suspect that he is hiding. Do you think he will continue to stay in Tianlong Lake Villa? Will he secretly return to the county to transfer his assets? "
Xu Guang was stunned when he heard the news. After a while, he said, "You mean he will run away? He … At this time … the bank should be closed. How will he transfer his assets? At most, he will sneak home and bring some cash … "
When Li Rui heard this, he began to think. He thought that if he were Meng Shuhai, would he run away after receiving a call from the two regulations team? The two regulations team only asked him to go back for questioning, but did not say what they were going to ask about. This seemed to leave some room for imagination. However, the problem was that today was a Saturday, and the people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection had suddenly arrived in the suburbs of Shuanghe. This matter itself showed a certain degree of horror and seriousness … Tsk, this was a little difficult to handle.
Xu Guang said, "Why don't I call him and ask? I will pretend that I know that the people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection are investigating him. I will tell him and take the opportunity to find out where he is. "
Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "That's a good idea, but his phone can't be reached. How are you going to contact him?"
Xu Guang said, "I will call Shang Meimei. I have her number."
Li Rui was overjoyed and said, "That's great. Call her. I will wait for your news."
He hung up the phone. Zhang Yimei walked over and asked him, "What's the matter?"
Li Rui nodded heavily and said, "It's not a small matter."
Zhang Yimei frowned and asked, "Then will you leave? You … you better not leave. This is the wilderness, and there are only the two of us. I … I am a little scared. "
Li Rui smiled gently at her and said, "Don't worry. I will try my best not to leave. Even if I leave, I will definitely come back to accompany you."
Zhang Yimei was very gratified. She looked at him with admiration and said softly, "I know you are good!"
A minute later, Xu Guang called back and told Li Rui a piece of good news. Meng Shuhai was currently hiding in villa number 16 at Tianlong Lake and was struggling with his thoughts. On one hand, he knew that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was definitely not a small matter. They might even want to discipline him. Hence, he did not dare to return to the county for questioning. On the other hand, he felt that there was a possibility that the matter was not serious. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was just asking him casually. If he did not go, it would seem that he had a guilty conscience and the problem would be bigger. Hence, he hesitated and did not run away for the time being.
Li Rui made a prompt decision and said to Xu Guang, "I will give you a chance to show your face in front of the county leaders. Do you want it?"
Xu Guang was very smart. He guessed his thoughts and said, "You want me to lead the Dual Rules Group into the mountains to catch Meng Shuhai?"
Li Rui said, "That's what I mean. You are the only one who knows where Meng Shuhai is. Only you can lead the Dual Rules Group. However, if you feel that it's difficult to face Meng Shuhai, I can arrange for someone else to go. "
Xu Guang thought for a moment and said, "I can lead the Dual Rules Group over. We can stay in the car and not let him see us. It can be considered as atonement for my previous actions of following him! "
Li Rui was very happy and said, "Xu Guang, you are very good. You are hardworking and brave. I have high hopes for you!"
Xu Guang said in an embarrassed tone, "Then, I will go to the Dual Rules Group now?"
Li Rui said, "Yes, go to the county committee immediately. The Dual Rules Group is waiting there. I will get the county magistrate to find someone to lead you!"
After another call, Li Rui heaved a sigh of relief and put away his phone. With an apologetic smile on his face, he walked to the mother and daughter who were staring at him in a daze and apologized, "I'm sorry for delaying your beautiful time!"
Yu Lan smiled and said, "It was our good time!"
Zhang Yiyi added, "It's not considered delaying!"
The three of them looked at each other and laughed happily at the same time. After laughing, they busied themselves for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, they began to prepare dinner.
Dinner was simple. Li Rui had already thought of barbecuing! When he came, he had already bought mutton skewers, sausages, meat and bones, New Orleans chicken wings, steamed buns, and so on from the supermarket. These barbecued delicacies were already skewered on the skewers and seasoned. They only needed to be cooked over the fire.
Zhang Yiyi said that Li Rui only needed to be in charge of starting the fire. After the fire started, he could bring Lan Lan to play while she was in charge of the barbecuing.
Li Rui set up the oven and placed a folding stool in front of the oven for Zhang Yixia to sit on. Then, he started the fire. First, he lit up a pile of newspapers, then placed a pile of thin and long branches on top of it. When the fire was strong enough, he put in some thick firewood and fanned himself with a stack of newspapers. Slowly, the red coals in the oven came out and they were ready to barbecue.
