After work in the evening, Li Rui did not waste any time. He went to the guest house and drove straight to the city. As soon as he got on the highway, Bo Yubing called him.
"Captain Zheng, is there any new news?" Bo Yubing had been worried about the progress of the case. She could not show it at work because of her status, so she waited until work ended and called Li Rui immediately to ask about it.
Li Rui told her about the progress of the case and said, "Now we have two clues and two suspects, so don't worry. We can definitely find Yuxue."
Bo Yubing said in a sad tone, "I've already prepared myself for the worst. I don't ask for anything else now. I just want to find her whereabouts. She's most likely … most likely … no luck." Her voice trembled when she said the last half of the sentence.
Li Rui also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Although Bo Yuxue had a flirtatious temperament and the fierce temper of a young miss, she was a straightforward person. She said what she thought in her heart and was not hypocritical or pretentious. Although it was not very comfortable to associate with such a person, he would not be cheated or deceived. She was a good friend to make. If she was really killed, it would be a pity.
He comforted Bo Yubing and hung up the phone. Then, he thought about his boss, Song Chaoyang's upcoming fate and could not help but sigh.
Back in the city, Li Rui did not eat first. Instead, he called Song Chaoyang's secretary, Jiang Bingkun, to ask him about Song Chaoyang's current location. After knowing that he was still at work, he drove straight to the Municipal Party Committee.
Li Rui hesitated when he arrived at the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee. He wondered if he should park at the side of the road and walk into the building. However, he remembered that time was precious, so he drove straight in.
He hadn't even driven in yet. Just as he was about to drive in, the security guard at the entrance of the reception office rushed up and blocked his way. He pushed outward with both hands and shouted, "Get out, get out! What are you doing? Why are you barging in? This is the courtyard of the Municipal Party Committee. Those without a pass are not allowed to enter. "
Li Rui didn't recognize the security guard. He guessed that the security guard was a newcomer. No wonder the security guard didn't recognize him. He rolled down all the windows on the driver's seat and stuck his head out. Just as he was about to introduce himself to the security guard, another staff member ran out of the reception room. He waved at the security guard and said, "Don't stop him. This is Director Li's car. Let Director Li in." He then nodded and smiled at Li Rui. "Director Li is back!"
Li Rui recognized this person. He was a security guard sent by the Municipal Party Committee's Municipal Government Security Department to the reception office. He smiled and said, "Yes, I came back to do something. Is this little security guard new?"
That person said, "That's right. He just started work a week ago. He doesn't recognize your car, Director Li. Please don't lower yourself to his level."
Li Rui smiled and said, "How is that possible? He is strictly following the rules. There is only right and no wrong. I should ask you not to criticize him."
The two of them laughed and Li Rui drove into the courtyard.
The security guard stared blankly as Li Rui drove to the front of the building. He asked the man, "Which Director Li is this? Is he one of the leaders in the courtyard? I didn't remember his license plate. "
That person explained, "This Director Li is not a leader. He is better than a leader. He was originally the deputy director of the Political Research Office and also the director of the Secretary Department of the General Office. He was also the secretary of Song Chaoyang and Song Shuji. All the leaders in the courtyard have to respectfully call him 'Director Li' when they see him. This Director Li also knows how to conduct himself. He is the best at dealing with people. Anyone who mentions him has to give him a thumbs up. He is now transferred to a lower county to be an official. He is no longer in the courtyard. But speaking of which, he used to be in the Municipal Party Committee. Returning to the Municipal Party Committee is like returning home. You have to be careful in the future. When you see him coming back, let him go immediately. Don't neglect him. "
The security guard was shocked and shouted, "Good lord, he was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee?! Isn't that the same as Director Jiang now? "
That person shook his head and said, "Director Jiang is not as glorious as he was back then. He is far worse than him … This time, he should be coming back to see the Song Shuji. You see, there are so many cadres in the city. Which one of them can casually come to the Municipal Party Committee to see the Song Shuji? He can. Tsk, tsk, I am so envious! "
Not mentioning the private conversation between the two security guards, Li Rui parked the car downstairs and strode into the building. He greeted a few cadres he knew and took the elevator to go upstairs.
"Brother Li!"
Outside the Secretary's office, in Li Rui's former office, Jiang Bingkun, who was busy, saw Li Rui rushing in. He quickly got up to greet him and called him "Brother Li", showing affection and friendship.
Li Rui looked at his smiling face and sighed in his heart. This young man probably didn't know that the ups and downs of his life were coming. It was not good to tell him the inside story. He went forward and asked, "Is the Secretary inside?"
Jiang Bingkun nodded his head. "He's waiting for you. You can go in."
Li Rui patted his shoulder and walked to the door of the inner room. He knocked on the door and said, "Secretary, I'm back." He then pushed the door open and entered the room.
Inside the room, Song Chaoyang, who was sitting at his desk, raised his head with a smile when he heard the door opening. "You're pretty quick. Why are you back so suddenly? Is something the matter?" After that, he stood up and walked around the desk. He pointed at Su Tao with a smile and said, "I have to say something to you. That Su … what was it again? Oh … Su Tao, I remember now. It's Su Tao. Why didn't you tell me that he plotted against you? I only knew about it when Yu Heping brought it up. That's why I knew that Su Tao had plotted against you! With his actions, even expelling him from the party would be considered a light punishment. But you only gave him a warning? Do you know that there will be problems if you repay evil with kindness? "By the end of his sentence, the smile on his face had disappeared and was replaced with a slightly reproachful expression.
Li Rui sighed. "I'm afraid that I'll become enemies with Su Tao! I'm going to Shuanghe to do business, not to fight with others. If I fight, I won't be able to do my job. "
Song Chaoyang sneered. "What's there to be afraid of? Tell me, I'll take Su Tao down. He's already stepped down, so how can he fight with you? You have to remember that you have to be more ruthless in the future. Otherwise, you'll give others the impression that you're easy to bully. You're a paratrooper, and the local officials in Shuanghe will naturally reject you. If you make them think that you're easy to bully, won't your days be even worse? "
Li Rui nodded with a bitter smile. "Boss, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about business. I'm here to tell you a piece of extremely bad news. I hope that you … you can be stronger and face it calmly …"
Song Chaoyang was still smiling when he heard this. He was stunned. "Extremely bad news? What do you mean? "
"The divination that Fa Yu gave you back then is very likely to come true!"
Li Rui said this as an introduction to give him a heads-up. Then, he told him about Wen Tianlong being investigated, about someone writing a report about the truth behind the traffic accident … and a series of new developments.
Song Chaoyang's expression changed when he heard the first part. The more he listened, the uglier his expression became. By the time he finished listening, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. His eyes were flickering with anger. Although he wasn't gnashing his teeth, his lower jaw was trembling.
Li Rui waited for a while. He estimated that Song Chaoyang's anger had reached its peak and was about to subside. Only then did he open his mouth to comfort him. However, when he opened his mouth, he realized that Song Chaoyang's expression had suddenly changed. He became calm and relaxed, and even let out a long sigh. It was as if everything had vanished into thin air. Curious, he asked, "Boss, you've thought it through so quickly? You've accepted it? "
Song Chaoyang smiled bitterly. "What can I do if I don't accept it? The investigation team from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will be here tomorrow. Do I still have to resist the investigation? Sigh, since I've done it, I should take responsibility. It's no big deal. I'm not sad now. I'm just a little regretful. I regret that I've always regarded Wen Tianlong as a good person who can be trusted. I've always prided myself on being a good judge of character. It turns out that it was all an illusion. I've only ever trusted one person in my life, and that was you, Xiao Rui. "
Li Rui was very sad. His nose was sour, and his eyes were red.
Song Chaoyang sighed again. "I was planning to take care of you for another year or so. It seems that I can't do it now. However, you have your father-in-law in the province to look after you. You don't need me anymore."
Li Rui cursed, "Wen Tianlong, that old bastard. He's a f * cking good-for-nothing. Once he's been investigated, he's gone crazy and started biting people …"
Song Chaoyang waved his hand to stop him from scolding. "Don't scold him at this time. It's useless. I admit it! I misjudged him and did something wrong. I should be punished. This is my fate. I admit it. Prepare well tonight and tell the investigation team the truth tomorrow. " After a pause, he said, "You go back first. I'll go home and pack my things. We'll talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow."
Li Rui felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything else. Since he had already thought it through and accepted it, there was no point in saying anything else. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go first. I'll see what the results are. Fa Yu's divination result is still acceptable … "
Song Chaoyang smiled bitterly and said, "I can accept any result. When you, Teacher Sun, left, I've already thought it through. In this life, as long as I can continue living and be with my family and friends, I can accept anything. "
Li Rui said, "I didn't tell Bingkun about this. You …"
Song Chaoyang understood what he meant and said, "I'll tell him the results after the investigation."
…
That night, Li Rui had a good time with Qingman. When they were done, Qingman had already turned into a pile of mud. She lay on his chest and didn't want to move. Li Rui calmed his excited heart and told Qingman about Song Chaoyang's investigation.
Qingman was shocked. She raised her head and asked, "Really?"
Li Rui said, "Of course it's true. Dad asked Brother Hongwei to call me. How could it be false?"
