While the two of them were immersed in this rare romantic moment, the two workers at the gas station were dumbfounded. If the two of them wanted to massage her foot, could they have driven the car away and done it at a place that was not in the gas station? Both of their cars were in the gas station and it was inconvenient for the other car owners. However, they were too embarrassed to say this out loud. After all, the two of them were injured at the gas station, so they could only watch as the two of them played with each other.
After a while, Luo Shan was a little embarrassed and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. You can rest for a while."
Li Rui looked up at her and said, "The bone is not injured, and there are no external injuries. It just hurts when you stepped on it." As he spoke, he let go of her smooth and slender foot and picked up her high heel from the ground to help her put it on.
Luo Shan nodded and stood up from the car with a red face. She said, "Thank you."
Li Rui was a little amused and said, "You're thanking me? Don't forget that I stepped on you. "
Luo Shan smiled shyly and said, "That was the fat driver's fault. You didn't do it on purpose."
At this point, the two of them looked at each other and felt inexplicably happy from the bottom of their hearts. They couldn't help but smile. Luo Shan's smile was a little shy, as if she was a bride who was about to enter the bridal sedan.
"Try to walk a few steps and see if it really doesn't hurt anymore. Can you still drive?"
Li Rui didn't indulge in the gentleness. After smiling, he gave the best advice gently and carefully.
Luo Shan nodded in agreement and tried to walk a few steps. When she felt that there was no problem, she nodded and said, "Okay, it's fine. I should be able to drive."
Li Rui smiled and caught the mistake in her words. "It should be fine? It's good if it's really fine. "
Luo Shan didn't know why, but she suddenly wanted to go against him. She said angrily, "It's really fine. If you don't believe me, you can drive and follow me. See if I can drive home safely."
Li Rui thought about it. It would be very late when they returned to Shuanghe, so he was not afraid of delaying for a while. He would only be relieved when he saw her safely home. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go home with you."
Luo Shan saw that he was serious, but she was a little shy. Her face was red, and she said embarrassedly, "I... I'm kidding. You'd better go home quickly. If you go back late, your wife won't agree. Hehe."
Li Rui said nonchalantly, "It's okay. It won't take long."
Since he had said so, Luo Shan didn't reject his offer. She was happy that he was sending her home anyway, so she accepted his kindness and returned to the Honda Accord. She drove out of the gas station and headed home. After Li Rui took back the refueling card, he drove after them.
Ten minutes later, the two cars stopped in front of Luo Shan's house. It was worth mentioning that this house wasn't Luo Shan's original house, but Luo Jintong and his wife's house.
After Luo Shan's ex-husband, Fang Cheng, passed away, his parents vented their anger on Luo Shan. They wanted to sue for Luo Shan to go to jail and compensate her financially. At that time, Li Rui stepped in and helped Luo Shan avoid this disaster. Fang Cheng's parents saw that they couldn't do anything to Luo Shan, so they wanted her to move out of their house. However, that house was bought by Fang Cheng and Luo Shan after they got married, so it was their joint property. Luo Shan also paid a part of the money, so Luo Shan argued reasonably. In the end, both sides reached an agreement. They sold the house and split the money in half. After selling the house, Luo Shan took half of the money and went back to live with her parents. She returned to her previous life before she got married.
Some people might ask, Luo Jintong used to be the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the North District Committee. Why did he only have one house? Of course not. Luo Jintong actually had two other houses. As for the other two houses, one was used as his son Luo Qiang's wedding house and his current residence. The other house was rented out for rent every month. In fact, Luo Shan could have lived in that rented apartment. It was quiet and quiet, but she considered that the two elders' apartment had three bedrooms and two living rooms. It was very big and very empty. She could move back here and take care of the two elders nearby, so she moved back to live here. As for the rented house, she could keep renting it and earn some rent.
After Luo Shan got out of the car, she saw that Li Rui didn't get out of the car. She walked to the driver's side and said politely, "Why don't you go up and sit for a while?"
Li Rui didn't want to see Luo Jintong and his wife, so he said, "It's late. I won't go up and sit. I'll be a guest another day."
Luo Shan didn't insist. She said softly, "Then drive home slowly."
Li Rui nodded and nodded at her. He then drove the car around her. Luo Shan wasn't in a hurry to go upstairs. She stood in the same place and watched him drive away. She waited until his taillights disappeared before she walked to the unit door with a little disappointment. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped. She felt the hardness of the ground with the tip of her right foot. She couldn't help but recall the gentleness of his big hands. A sweet and shy smile appeared on her beautiful face.
Two days passed and it was Friday. The Standing Committee of the County Committee held a meeting in the morning. At the meeting, there were changes in the positions of the directors of the County Poverty Alleviation Office and the County Administrative Service Center. The deputy director of the County Poverty Alleviation Office, Zhou Dali, was promoted to the director. The former director of the County Administrative Service Center, Qiao Guodong, was transferred to the leader of the County Health and Prevention Leading Group. The deputy director, Zhang Jianguo, was promoted to the new director.
There was no need to mention Zhou Dali and Zhang Jianguo's promotions. They were both approved and recommended by Li Rui. Qiao Guodong's ending was lamentable. He went from the director of the County Administrative Service Center with real power to the leader of the Health and Prevention Leading Group with no real power. What was even more ridiculous was that the latter position was just an empty title. He basically didn't have any real work. This change was no less than falling from the top of a mountain into a quagmire. Not only was Qiao Guodong's career path affected, but his entire life was also greatly affected.
However, he couldn't blame anyone but himself. He didn't manage his work well. He was late to work and left early. He indulged in debauchery and deceived his superiors. He even used a domineering attitude to openly confront his superiors. If such a cadre wasn't dealt with, who would be dealt with? In fact, this time, he was already given a lighter sentence. He didn't receive any punishment. He was just transferred to his original position. He was already lucky.
Li Rui didn't stay idle either. He met with Gao Jianxin in the morning and asked him about the progress of the operation to arrest Hu Zhixin. However, before meeting with Gao Jianxin, Li Rui already knew the result. That was, there was no progress. Otherwise, the County Bureau would have already arrested Hu Zhixin and Gao Jianxin would have already reported to him.
After meeting with Gao Jianxin, as expected, the County Bureau's special task force couldn't find any clues or information about Hu Zhixin's whereabouts even after using all means. They used the most basic monitoring methods. The special task force conducted technical monitoring of Hu Zhixin's family's residential and mobile phones. After listening for a week, they didn't find any valuable information. They also monitored the daily activities of Hu Zhixin's family and friends, but they still couldn't find anything.
In addition to the most basic criminal investigation methods, the special task force also used the three tricks Li Rui gave them. The results were just as frustrating. Hu Zhixin's woman, Shang Meimei, was arrested. She herself confessed to the crime of deliberately hurting Cui Guangli's family on the street. However, she didn't know Hu Zhixin's whereabouts. Ever since she broke up with Hu Zhixin at the Heavenly Dragon Lake Villa, she hadn't seen him or been able to contact him. She said to herself, "I was abandoned by Hu Zhixin." The special task force was asking her about Hu Zhixin's past illegal activities. What awaited her was severe punishment by the law.
Xu Guang, who Li Rui recommended, also didn't work. Hu Zhixin had changed his phone number, so Xu Guang couldn't contact him at all.
In addition, the special task force asked Zhu Tao, who had colluded with Hu Zhixin for many years, about Hu Zhixin's whereabouts. In the end, Zhu Tao didn't know anything about Hu Zhixin's whereabouts either. At present, the Discipline Inspection Unit of the County Public Security Bureau was investigating Zhu Tao together with the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. At present, Zhu Tao had at least one crime that he could not escape from, which was the act of favoritism in the case of Shang Meimei's intentional injury. This was a serious violation of the law and discipline. This alone could make him unable to protect his official position and put him in prison. It could be expected that as the Discipline Inspection Unit investigated him, more and more of his violations of the law and discipline would surface.
After Li Rui learned about the situation, he was very dissatisfied. Since they had already decided to get rid of Hu Zhixin, they should cut the Gordian knot and get rid of him in one fell swoop. They couldn't let it drag on. It was fine if nothing happened if it dragged on, but the key was that this big case was hanging in the air. It was extremely distracting, and it was very likely that it would pose a great threat to the public security of Shuanghe County in the future. He said to Gao Jianxin, "I have two ideas. First, Zhu Tao might know Hu Zhixin's whereabouts. With Zhu Tao's rank and identity, he's considered a very important cadre in the County Public Security Bureau. Hu Zhixin didn't only win over Chief Meng Shuhai, but also Zhu Tao, a cadre with real power at the grassroots level. In fact, Hu Zhixin has been feeding Zhu Tao for several years. As the saying goes, 'Raise an army for a thousand days, use it in one moment'. Right now, he needs Zhu Tao, so he can't not contact Zhu Tao. He needs to understand the County Public Security Bureau's actions through Zhu Tao. So you should still carefully investigate Zhu Tao and find a breakthrough from him. "
Gao Jianxin listened very seriously and nodded repeatedly to express his agreement.
Li Rui continued, "You can emphasize to Zhu Tao that this time, the county must get rid of Hu Zhixin. Regardless of whether he reveals Hu Zhixin's whereabouts or not, Hu Zhixin can't escape arrest in the end. He might even die, so there's no need for him to protect Hu Zhixin. He also doesn't have to worry about Hu Zhixin's revenge after he reveals the truth. At the same time, tell him that if he can take the initiative to confess, his sentence will be lenient. In short, try to open up his psychological barrier as much as possible. You're the experts in this aspect, so I won't show off. "
