The puzzle was revealed only after the man surnamed Zhang went out and answered a call.

He returned to his seat, fiddled with his cell phone and whispered a few times with his companions next to him, but the man couldn't help blurting out: "Is Mr. Ye dead?"

The man surnamed Zhang glared at him and whispered, indicating that he would not speak out.

At this moment, Li Yuanlang had returned to the table. Because he was hiding his questions, he paid great attention to the every move of the people on the table. He happened to hear the sentence clearly in the noisy atmosphere.

Mr. Ye, he is dead!

Li Yuanlang couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and went out to the bathroom on the excuse and secretly made a private phone call to Shui Qingchang.

"Uncle Shui, did Mr. Ye not get through?" Li Yuanlang tentatively covered the microphone and carefully.

After all, his status is noble and involves the highest secret. Li Yuanlang just imagines that Shui Qingzhang may not be able to master the level of Shui Qingzhang, but I heard that Shui Qingzhang and Ye Mingren had contacts, maybe he could know a little about it.

"Who did you hear?" Shui Qingzhang's tone was obviously surprised. It was only him who knew whether Mr. Ye passed away or whether Li Yuanlang knew this internal news.

Shui Qingzhang's short words confirmed Li Yuanlang's guess that the authenticity of the matter exists.

So he carefully explained to Shui Qingzhang that he accidentally heard several people from the capital mention in Hailang Village that he wanted to verify the authenticity of Shui Qingzhang's news.

"Oh!" Shui Qingzhang sighed and said in a heavy mood: "It's true. Just ten minutes ago, Old Master Ye took his last breath. There will be a delay in time. It is estimated that all media will report it tomorrow morning. When he leaves like this, the earth will shake."

Earth-moving and mountain-shaking refers to the capital city thousands of miles away. It is too far away from Li Yuanlang, which is not something he should worry about. He had a premonition that Mr. Ye suddenly traveled to the west, not only in Chinese politics, but also in Donghe Province.

What he cares about is whether it will involve Shui Qingzhang himself. After all, he is a prospective father-in-law, and the future family will affect his whole body. When Shui Qingzhang has a cold, Li Yuanlang will also sneeze.

Li Yuanlang implicitly expressed his concerns, hoping that Shui Qingzhang would give him a reassurance.

"I won't be involved." Shui Qingzhang smiled bitterly and said, "My level is not enough. Hey, Yuen Long, I can't tell that you are quite concerned about the current situation."

"Uncle Shui, I care about the Ye family and Mr. Ye for the sake of only one person."

"Who?" Shui Qingzhang was quite puzzled. As Li Yuanlang's identity, he seemed to have no connection with the Ye family. To put it bluntly, the section-level cadres were not as high as the Ye family's guards.

"Ye Qingrou." Shui Qingzhang was stunned for the reason that Li Yuanlang had not said hello to him. Shui Tingyue had not said hello to him yet, and he did not know the special relationship between Li Yuanlang and Ye Qingrou.

"Qingrou? Are you talking about her?" Shui Qingzhang's eyes were immediately tidy, and he asked several questions in disbelief.

"Yes, Uncle Shui. Qingrou is my long-lost sister. Her original name is Li Xiaohui." Li Yuanlang answered truthfully, without any lies.

"Is she your real sister?" Shui Qingzhang's eyes rolled and asked in surprise: "Who is Fan Yuqin?"

"It's my mother." Li Yuanlang also felt strange. How could Shui Qingzhang know his mother's name? It's incredible.

"This is the match." Shui Qingzhang murmured to himself: "I didn't expect that, I really didn't expect that Yuen Long, you are Fan Yuqin's son. The world is too small, and the Gu family and the Ye family have such a relationship."

Judging from Shui Qingzhang's meaning, it seems that there is something Li Yuanlang is not known about. He really wants to ask clearly. But there are some things on the phone that cannot be explained clearly. Shui Qingzhang has already expressed his opinion and will talk to him thoroughly next time he meets.

He had no choice but to suppress his curiosity, said good night to Shui Qingzhang, and hung up his phone.

Li Yuanlang had no intention of drinking any wine when something happened. Even if the nectar and jade liquid were drunk, it would be similar to boiled water.

He didn't drink too much, but instead made Guo Dingshou and other village committee members feel comfortable. They all walked crookedly and were helped home.

When Li Yuanlang left, he specifically called Yang Sheng aside and explained a few words, and Yang Sheng nodded and wrote down.

Yang Sheng arranged for Li Yuanlang and Han Wei to live at his house. Li Yuanlang refused his kindness. He wanted to live in the village committee and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the man surnamed Zhang and those people in the capital. If you can understand the news of Mr. Ye's death, these people are not just photography enthusiasts.

Unable to resist Li Yuanlang's insistence, Yang Sheng had to clean up the two beds in the village committee duty room and bring two clean bedding for Li Yuanlang and Han Wei to use.

When he walked into the duty room with his bedding and sweating profusely, Han Wei was alone looking at his cell phone. After asking, he found out that Li Yuanlang was dragged to chat by the people from the capital next door.

Li Yuanlang was hospitality and had no airs, and the man surnamed Zhang had a good impression of him. The most important thing is that Li Yuanlang did not ask Yang Sheng to collect the meals from these people, which made the man surnamed Zhang feel embarrassed.

Li Yuanlang said: "Come from afar, guests come to the host's house, how can they collect money? I think you are talking very well, not only photography. You are photography enthusiasts, so it's convenient to reveal your other identity? Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't say it."

The men looked at each other in front of each other. The man surnamed Zhang thought for a long time and gestured with his companions. After they were unanimously recognized by everyone, they revealed their true identity.

His name is Zhang Wei, and he is a reporter of Citizen Daily. Citizen Daily is a party newspaper and represents the mouthpiece of the party. Naturally, he pays great attention to major events involving China.

The other few are also media reporters, including reporters from Citizen Daily, Guanghua Daily and Huaxin News Agency. Which one of them is a famous newspaper that shocked the eye.

Li Yuanlang got close to everyone, hoping that they could promote Hailang Village more so that more people who like snow could know about it and come here to play.

Zhang Wei immediately said: "It's no problem. For nothing else, we are welcoming and hospitable for you. We are willing to be a free publicity ambassador to send out the mountains and beautiful scenery here so that more people can understand Hailang Village, Hailang Village, and you, a good parent and official who is dedicated to serving the people."

In order to express his victory, when Zhang Wei and his friends left the next day, Li Yuanlang also gave them several large bags of black fungus, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum prepared in advance to these people.

Zhang Wei and those people refused in every possible way, and Zhang Wei said repeatedly: "How can you be so embarrassed? You can eat, live and take it for free. Secretary Li, you must not be able to do it. We feel ashamed of it."

Li Yuanlang said sincerely: "Reporter Zhang and you all, these things are produced in the mountains here, not worth much money, and the gift is light and affection is heavy. You all agree to serve as free publicity ambassadors. We are poor and can't afford to give money. I give some mountain products to express my concern. If you don't accept them, you will look down on us. If you accept them, you will definitely accept them."

Seeing Li Yuanlang's sincere attitude, Zhang Wei immediately made a decision and said, "Secretary Li, then we are not polite. Don't worry, I will try my best to send out the reports here as early as possible. We will have a long time to come, and there will be a period of time in the future."

Seeing two off-road jeeps leaving their sights and disappearing, Yang Sheng asked Li Yuanlang in confusion: "Secretary, what are these people? Is it worth your different treatment for them?"

"They are the God of Wealth in Hailang Village, and they will bring a lot of wealth. Director Yang, just wait for a good life."

Yang Sheng squeezed out an ambiguous smile, not understanding what the big secretary was selling.

When Li Yuanlang left Hailang Village, he asked Han Wei to give Yang Sheng some money as the meal fee last night and the money given to Zhang Wei and the others. Yang Sheng did not charge it, but Han Wei forced it to him.

Hailang Village had no money at all, so Li Yuanlang would not let the village committee pay the money, even though he did it all for Hailang Village.

On the way back to Shuiming Township, Li Yuanlang took out his mobile phone to read the news. Sure enough, the headlines of major media reported the news of Mr. Ye's death.

Li Yuanlang was full of thoughts and thought a lot, and even more so what his sister was doing at this time. Will she be overly sad?

He wanted to call his sister to comfort him, but he hesitated and still didn't dial it out. With Wang Song taking care of her, I believe she would call him on his own initiative when it is convenient.

When he returned to the countryside, Li Yuanlang had just entered his office and had not sat firmly yet. Zhang Guorui hurried to find him and breathed a sigh of relief: "You are back. If you are not here in the countryside, I really have no backbone."

"Guorui, how is the situation in Shangyangma Village and Liujiadi? Is there any movement?" Li Yuanlang scattered Zhang Guorui a cigarette and lit it on his own and asked.

"There is no movement at the moment. I guess it is because the road to Tongxian Town in our town has not been cleared yet. It will be hard to say when the snow is cleared." Zhang Guorui took a deep breath and two streams of blue smoke emerged from his nose.

"You can't wait for them to take action. Guorui, I have an idea. Do you think this is OK?" Li Yuanlang then explained his thoughts in detail to Zhang Guorui.

"Can it work? Isn't it a bit risky?" Zhang Guorui pondered for a moment and asked a question.

"We just force them to disrupt their rhythm. Guorui, you must also take action at the same time. Then, take two steps and catch him off guard."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. If something goes wrong, I'll carry it with you." Zhang Guorui pushed half of the cigarette out in the ashtray, stood up, and held Li Yuanlang's hands tightly.

Liu Shu, director of the Party and Government Office, heard that Li Yuanlang had returned to the village, and his heart sank. After all, he was guilty and was thinking of asking Huang Wenfa to inquire about the news. The phone on the table suddenly rang. When he saw that the call was Li Yuanlang's landline number, he calmed down and grabbed the phone and asked, "Secretary, are you back?"

"Old Liu, please inform all the members of the meeting at 1:30 p.m. No one is allowed to be absent. If you have any questions, ask me for leave." Li Yuanlang on the phone said firmly, with signs of a storm coming and wind filling the building.

"Yes, Secretary Li, I'll inform you now." Putting down the phone, Liu Shuxi thought about what the purpose of Li Yuanlang was to hold a party committee meeting as soon as he came back. After thinking about it, he felt that it was nothing more than emphasizing discipline. It was no big deal, so he didn't take it seriously and grabbed the phone and notified them one by one.

Among the members of the Party Committee, except Chang Ming had not returned, they all informed them one by one. At noon, Liu Shuxi went to the cafeteria to deal with the meal, and appeared in the conference room on time at 1:30 in the afternoon.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Yuanlang presided over the meeting and the first topic came up surprised him.
