Wu Liushui was disheartened and disappointed, and returned to the frustrating days of being ordered around by Director Feng.

At the same time, he is also paying close attention to the activities of the county committee. It can be described in eight words: everything is calm and everything is normal.

He has always adhered to the habit of morning jogging and never stopped.

Every time I come out of home, I hope to meet Li Yuanlang.

If nothing else, what exactly did Li Yuanlang plan to do about Mo Linyuan after the last conversation?

Wu Liushui was full of curiosity as to whether he was just asking about it, or whether there was a next step.

Unfortunately, none of this happened.

Sometimes, Wu Liushui really wanted to go to Li Yuanlang and ask for details face to face.

But he quickly gave up the idea.

As an ordinary worker, what qualifications does he have to ask the county party committee secretary who he thinks he is?

On Saturday morning, after Wu Liushui finished his morning run, he just opened the door when he came back and saw Hua Xiaoyun holding Wu Liushui's mobile phone and saying anxiously: "I didn't take my phone with me when I went out. It has been ringing all morning. Someone is looking for you."

Wu Liushui was very surprised, "Who is looking for me?"

"I didn't say anything. I just said I'd call you back as soon as you get back."

When Wu Liushui looked at the number, he found it very unfamiliar. He tried to call back, but the other party quickly answered: "Xiao Wu, this is Li Yuanlang, do you have anything going on today?"

It's Li Yuanlang!

Wu Liushui was overjoyed. She looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally to this phone call. Due to her excitement, her lips moved and she didn't say a word.

"What are you doing today?" Li Yuanlang asked again.

"No, no." Wu Liushui stuttered.

"If it's convenient, you can drive there." Li Yuanlang reported his location and asked Wu Liushui to drive to pick him up.

Hua Xiaoyun saw her husband's strange reaction and asked why.

"Secretary Li is looking for me, Xiaoyun, I have something to do today, you can send the child to his grandma's house."

After that, Wu Liushui changed his clothes and hurried out of the house.

When he arrived at the designated location, Wu Liushui parked his car and looked around for Li Yuanlang.

There was a click, the rear door of the car opened, and a figure got in.

Wu Liushui looked back and almost laughed.

Li Yuanlang was wearing a mask and a pair of glasses, and had just taken off his cotton-padded jacket and hat.

In this outfit, if you don't look carefully, you really wouldn't recognize him as the dignified secretary of the county party committee.

"Xiao Wu, here you go." Li Yuanlang said and handed over a plastic bag in his hand.

"Secretary Li, this is"

Li Yuanlang said: "I calculated the time. You must have not had time to have breakfast before you called me after your morning run. You eat first and let me tell you something."

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanlang was so attentive, and Wu Liushui was instantly moved.

"Eat quickly, we'll be on our way soon."

"Yeah." Wu Liushui agreed, picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, devouring it.

"Can you still contact Geng Falian?"

Wu Liushui swallowed the bun, took a sip of the porridge through a straw, and said in one voice: "I haven't heard from him in more than two years, so I can only give it a try."

"Call and ask."

Wu Liushui called up Geng Falian's mobile phone number and dialed it, but what came out was an empty number notification tone.

Li Yuanlang didn't find it strange, he lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. Seeing that Wu Liushui was full, he patted the back of the driver's seat and said, "Let's go to Molin Garden."

Wu Liushui was stunned, "There are two sentries in Molin Garden. We can't enter without a pass."

"It doesn't matter, you can just drive."

Wu Liushui understood it, turned the steering wheel, and drove straight towards Hujiacun.

On the way, Li Yuanlang made a phone call. I didn't know what the other person said, but Li Yuanlang nodded repeatedly.

For the rest of the time, Li Yuanlang closed his eyes to rest and said nothing.

Wu Liushui concentrated on driving the car and observed Li Yuanlang's expression through the rearview mirror.

He knew that Secretary Li seemed to be resting and was probably thinking about something, so he couldn't be disturbed.

The roads leading to various towns in Wuma County were just repaired last year and are in good condition.

In March, although the roads are still covered with snow on both sides, the temperature is gradually getting warmer.

This black Hyundai Elantra was a second-hand car that Wu Liushui bought from an acquaintance.

After running 300,000 kilometers, the biggest feeling is that the leather is durable.

In the five years since it has been in his hands, he has only done routine maintenance and replaced the engine spark plugs and cylinder gasket. He hasn't paid much attention to the rest.

At this time, Li Yuanlang opened his eyes slightly and said: "There are abnormal noises in the chassis of your car. It is probably because the rubber bushings have aged and deteriorated and need to be replaced."

Wu Liushui was very surprised.

It’s not surprising that people can drive these days. There are not many people who can drive and know how to drive. Leaders who know how to drive and know how to drive are even rarer.

He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Secretary Li, you must have been driving for ten years, right?"

Li Yuanlang smiled and said: "For more than eight years, I had a Jetta King before and it stayed with me for six full years."

"No wonder, as you can tell, people with car problems must have at least eight years of driving experience."

"Your Elantra performs well. Have you changed the tires?"

"I changed it once." Wu Liushui answered honestly.

"Don't tell me, from the sound, the tires are of good quality." Li Yuanlang continued: "In the past, Guangnan Gulin Rubber Factory was a well-known manufacturer specializing in the production of tires, and the quality was very good."

"Yes." Wu Liushui said: "Gulin Tire has always been famous. Now that it has merged with foreign capital, although it is not as brilliant as before, overall, it is pretty good."

"Gulin Town" Li Yuanlang said sadly: "Sima Wenhan, the legal person of Molin Company, is a native of Gulin."

Speaking of this, Wu Liushui started chatting like a treasure trove.

"Sima Wenhan is not a simple person. He was a salesman at the Gulin Town Steel Wire Factory in his early years. Later, through restructuring, he acquired the steel wire factory and changed its name to Donghe Province Qianglun Steel Wire Factory."

"All the steel wire they produced was sold to Gulin Rubber Factory. Within a few years, Sima Wenhan made a lot of money."

"Later, Sima Wenhan expanded the factory site, introduced equipment, and borrowed 40 million from the Gulin Town Rural Credit Cooperative Union. Ten years ago, he used the steel wire factory to pay off the debt in kind and wrote off the 40 million loan."

"According to insiders, the 40 million that year was not a small amount. Such a large loan could be written off with such a worthless factory. Who approved the loan at that time? Who applied for the loan in kind? Why?

Substituting things for loans? Sima Wenhan has money, why not collect debts from him instead of using things for loans? These are all questions."

"But no one took care of this matter, and there was no follow-up. Anyway, the result was that Sima Wenhan went to Jiangpu City in the south, established a company there, and made a lot of money."

"A few years ago, he returned to Guangnan City and established the Donghe Province Molin Cultural Investment Co., Ltd., and built the Molin Garden in Hujiacun Mountain."

"Based on your understanding, the scale of Molin Garden must be very large?"

"I have never been in it. Geng Falian told me everything. However, it is said that there is a place where you need to go to the top of the mountain and look far into the distance to see the whole situation of Molin Garden."

"Okay." Li Yuanlang nodded, already having the answer in his heart.

While talking, Elantra passed through Hujia Village and was driving along the highway. Suddenly, he saw a policeman waving his hand to stop on the roadside in front of him.

Wu Liushui slowly stepped on the brakes, looking suspicious.

Li Yuanlang looked through the front windshield and said easily: "It's okay, he's looking for me."

The visitor was none other than Han Wei, who was wearing a cotton police uniform.

Li Yuanlang lowered the window, and Han Wei came over, saluted him, bent down and said hello: "Secretary Li."

Li Yuanlang asked: "Have you brought everything?"

"Bring them all."

"Is there anyone leading the way?"

Han Wei replied: "There is a guide in the car."

Li Yuanlang gave an order: "You guys go ahead, my car will follow you."

Han Wei took the order, got into the off-road vehicle in front, and started the vehicle first.

Wu Liushui's Elantra followed closely behind, drove for a while, turned off the highway, and drove slowly along a rural dirt road to the base of a mountain.

The road was uneven, but fortunately it was March and the snow on the ground hadn't completely melted yet.

Otherwise, the Elantra would not be able to go on such dirt roads and would easily scratch the chassis.

The road conditions were not good and the two cars were not driving very fast. It took them more than forty minutes to reach the foot of the mountain.

After getting out of the car, Li Yuanlang tightened his collar, Han Wei and another hunter dressed as an elderly man, and a police officer came over.

Li Yuanlang took the initiative to shake hands with the old man and asked, "What do you always call me?"

"My surname is Jiang. Comrade, if you want to see the whole picture of Molin Garden clearly, you have to climb to the top of this mountain. There is a place that is the best place to observe."

Old Man Jiang said, pointing to the towering mountain peak in front of him.

"How is your health?"

Old Man Jiang curled his lips disdainfully, "Comrade, I am a native of Hujia Village. To be honest, you young people may not be able to climb mountains as fast as me."

"Haha." Li Yuanlang laughed and said, "Well, I'll ask you to lead the way."
