You don't need to guess, who else can speak like this besides the mother-in-law.

Gu Hongyan shouted: "Li Yuanlang, are you sick? You don't want your son to get better, do you?"

Li Yuanlang said to himself, "My wife is so honest that she doesn't even know that she is behind the back of others when chatting privately."

"Mom, that's not what I meant. I think Gu Yu needs to be beaten a lot in order to mature as soon as possible. Grandpa's idea is right. He wants to make the Gu family's descendants better and better, but I don't want to undermine the success of the family. I'll just take it one step at a time.

It’s best to be down-to-earth.”

"Li Yuanlang, are you saying that people in our family are impetuous and not down-to-earth? You know how long your grandfather has been thinking about what he said tonight."

Li Yuanlang was speechless. Why was the mother-in-law thinking wrongly? Can't she speak calmly?

"You are talking, you have no words."

Before Gu Hongyan could continue, Shui Tingyue grabbed the phone and saw the screen flashing up and down, and the sound of Shui Tingyue and Gu Hongyan quarreling could be heard from inside.

Obviously, his wife was very dissatisfied with Gu Hongyan interfering in their chat with the couple without authorization.

Even though Gu Hongyan was arrogant towards Li Yuanlang, in front of her daughter, especially when her daughter got angry, she quickly lost her battle and could only mutter: "Okay, I don't care about the bad things between you, just do whatever you want, I

It’s a waste of unnecessary worry.”

After driving her mother away, Shui Tingyue chatted with Li Yuanlang again before hanging up.

He originally didn't want to think about it, but soon after, his cell phone rang annoyingly again, and the call turned out to be from Hu Zhaojun, so Li Yuanlang quickly answered it.

"County Magistrate, I have shocking news for you. Xing Dong is dead!"

"What!" Li Yuanlang sat up suddenly, horrified, "He is dead?"

What a surprise!

"When did it happen?"

"I just discovered it and haven't reported it to my superiors yet. I called you first."

"Please tell me in detail."

Hu Zhaojun was concise and to the point. Just ten minutes ago, they were handling a case in the Yuheside Community. Right under their noses, they suddenly saw a black thing falling from a high place.

Hu Zhaojun hurriedly ran over and took a look, and saw that it was a man lying on his back on the ground.

With his eyes wide open, there was blood on the back of his head, which turned the surrounding snow red.

He took a closer look, wasn't this Deputy County Magistrate Xing Dong?

Therefore, Hu Zhaojun immediately informed Li Yuanlang of this important news.

Li Yuanlang quickly calmed down and warned: "Zhao Jun, you report to your superiors immediately without delay. Don't let anyone find fault with you. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will report to Gao Gao..."

He was worried that Hu Zhaojun would report late and take on responsibilities that he should not bear.

And he believed that it wouldn't be long before someone would tell him about this unexpected situation.

Li Yuanlang quickly got dressed and got out of bed, and knocked on the door diagonally opposite Chang Ming's room.

"Hurry up and clean up."

Chang Ming asked confusedly: "What's wrong, what happened?"

"Xing Dong jumped off the building and died."

Chang Ming's eyes widened in shock as well. The sudden news was so shocking that no one would have thought of it.

"We have to rush back immediately, otherwise we will be derelict in our duties."

Within five minutes, Li Yuanlang and Chang Ming were sitting in the car.

Li Yuanlang had no alcohol content for a long time, but he could not drive. He expected that there would be many calls coming in soon.

The first thing he thought about was that the news must be reported to Zhao Gongda.

Lei Zhen was supposed to be the one who reported the matter, but this incident happened because of him, and he was the first to report it to Zhao Gongda. From a certain perspective, what he did was not considered overstepping the authority or overstepping the authority.

Zhao Gongda was having a drink and chatting with his guests at the moment, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

The secretary came over and whispered in his ear: "County Magistrate Li called and said he has something urgent to report to you. Will you answer the call?"

Zhao Gongda thought for a while and nodded slightly towards the secretary.

The secretary understood and knew that Secretary Zhao needed to say hello to the guests, so he hurried outside and told Li Yuanlang to wait a moment, Secretary Zhao would be here soon.

While Li Yuanlang was waiting, two calls came in one after another, one from Lei Zhen and the other from Song Yuntao.

Ignore them for now and wait until you finish talking to Zhao Gongda.

After a while, Zhao Gongda's deep voice came from over there: "Comrade Yuen Long, you have ambitions, what's your emergency?"

Li Yuanlang said directly: "Secretary Zhao, I just got the news that Xing Dong jumped from the building and died."

Zhao Gongda was also stunned and asked about the incident in detail.

Then he asked: "Where are you now?"

Li Yuanlang answered truthfully: "I'm on my way back to the county."

"Very good, you did the right thing. In extraordinary times, you and Lei Zhen must stick to your posts and set an example. The first priority now is to ensure the normal operation of the county committee and county government and minimize the impact of this incident."

"Yes, Secretary Zhao, I will definitely follow the instructions of you and the municipal party committee."

After Zhao Gongda hung up the phone, he immediately contacted Jiang Mingxiao and informed him of the emergency. He also called Shi Benxiang, the deputy mayor and public security director of Yunshui City.

Let Jiang Mingxiao and Shi Benxiang lead the team and rush to Daiding County overnight to deal with the matter.

After making these two calls, Zhao Gongda looked at the time and asked his secretary to contact Mayor Shi Kan.

After the call was connected, Zhao Gongda said: "Mayor Shi, something happened in Daiding County again, and it's not a small one."

Shi Kan said calmly: "Secretary Zhao, please tell me."

"Deputy County Magistrate Xing Dong jumped to his death."

"Huh..." Shi Kan was also surprised.

"I have asked Secretary Mingxiao and Deputy Mayor Benxiang to lead a team to Daiding County. I think... we will meet in half an hour to discuss the next response plan."

Shikan responded quickly: "Okay, I'll go to your office in half an hour."

Li Yuanlang was also answering the phone, and the first one was Lei Zhen.

"County Magistrate Li, I just got the news that Xing Dong committed suicide!"

Of course, Li Yuanlang had to pretend that he just knew it, but there was one detail that surprised him.

What Lei Zhen said was not that Xing Dong jumped from a building and died, but that he committed suicide.

But he didn't point it out and said he was rushing back.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the office. There are many things we need to discuss."

What Song Yuntao is talking about is also death.

After all, there is an essential difference between death and suicide.

Death includes suicide and homicide. Before it is determined, using the word "death" shows rigor.

But Lei Zhen said he committed suicide. Could it be that the news he heard was wrong?

Because it was winter, Chang Ming's car was not going very fast. Li Yuanlang was worried that he would get tired easily if he walked alone at night, so the two of them drove alternately. They also relied on cigarettes for support to ensure that they would not get sleepy.

On the way, Chang Ming said to Li Yuanlang: "Just watch, this matter will cause an uproar in the county again, and gossip will fly all over the sky."

"So Secretary Lei and I need to discuss it as soon as possible. We must suppress this matter and make sure it doesn't affect normal work."

"County Magistrate, this is the era of self-media. There are some things that you can't hide, especially from the common people. The more you hide it, the more curious they will be, and the more rumors there will be, which is not good for us." Chang

Ming said worriedly.

"I have thought about it. This time I will hold a press conference and invite reporters from various media to be present. We must seek truth from facts and tell the truth without giving rumors and lies an opportunity." When Li Yuanlang said these words, his expression was quite firm.

.

"I agree. What you did is very correct."

The two of them talked to each other along the way, and they didn't feel tired after a journey of more than two hours.

When we entered Daiding County, it was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night.

As soon as he drove into the county party committee compound, Li Yuanlang saw from a distance that the lights in Lei Zhen's office were still on.

He walked to the door of Lei Zhen's office alone and knocked gently. It was Secretary Lei Zhen who opened the door.

The young man's eyes were red and he smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. He must have stayed awake until now.

"Secretary Lei is lying on the sofa and fell asleep. I will notify him right away," the secretary said.

Li Yuanlang said: "I'd better wake him up."

This sentence is very thoughtful. If the secretary wakes him up, he may make Lei Zhen unhappy.

Li Yuanlang is different.

The young man nodded gratefully to Li Yuanlang and did not walk into Lei Zhen's office with Li Yuanlang.

He knew that the two county bosses had important matters to discuss and he should not show up.

When Li Yuanlang gently woke up Lei Zhen, Lei Zhen took a closer look at him, slowly sat up and yawned, "I'm really sleepy, so I'll take a nap here."
