"Why was there no news at all before?"

Li Huaide frowned in fear and tapped the armrest of the sofa irregularly with his fingers.

Sitting opposite, Li Xuewu looked at Li Haiyang, who was on the phone, and reminded him softly: "You have to make plans early, otherwise things will change later."

"Um - you mean...?"

Li Huaide stared at Li Xuewu, raising his head slightly, his face clouded.

Li Xuewu, however, was unfazed and said calmly: "You are the director of the Management Committee of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. Any investigation must give you an explanation."

"Unless..."

He didn't say everything, but Li Huaide's panic had not completely lost his reason and thinking.

Unless this investigation is against him, the owner of the steel rolling mill.

Failure to ventilate and notify in advance means distrust and preparedness.

Cheng Kaiyuan is going to the city for a meeting today, and even his secretary and driver cannot be contacted, so there must be something big going on.

Li Huaide's hand on the armrest of the sofa suddenly grabbed it, as if he wanted to grab something.

"Hang up the phone to Director Liu Xiangqian Liu from the city!"

He solemnly told Li Haiyang, who had just hung up the phone, "If you are not in the office, please contact the duty room to find his home phone number."

"yes!"

Li Haiyang responded first, and then reported: "I just contacted the city discipline supervisor, but he is not there."

After saying that, he picked up the phone and went to the city according to the leader's instructions.

Li Huaide's face became increasingly gloomy, as if he could sink into the water. His fists were loosened and clenched, then clenched and loosened.

“Since you’re not in the city’s discipline inspection department, then you’re in the ministry’s discipline inspection inspection department.”

Li Xuewu said softly: "Deputy Director Xue has already contacted me, but I don't know what the outcome will be."

"There's no need to look for the higher-ups. He's missing in the city. I'll just look for Liu Xiangqian."

Li Huaide said: "At this time, I don't know what they want to do with Comrade Kaiyuan!"

"Leader, cannot be reached"

Li Haiyang reported the report with sweat profusely: "I couldn't find him in the city. The duty room said that Director Liu was not at home and hung up the phone."

"Should I... contact Deputy Director Zhang again?"

"No need, I'm hiding from you on purpose so I can't find them."

Li Huaide took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the coffee table and held it in his mouth.

He didn't go to get the matches, but just thought about it and said: "If Liu Qianqian is hiding, then I really want to see what kind of enchantment array this is."

Boom——

The door of the reception room was pushed open from the outside, and Xue Zhifu and Jing Yunong walked in.

"It should be in the ministry. No one was notified of the temporary operation organized in the afternoon."

Xue Zhifu also had a gloomy face and said to Li Huaide: "It's not clear where he is being held, but it should be in the city."

"I have asked, and the factory has not received an investigation coordination letter recently, nor has any information been taken away."

Jing Yunong stood next to Li Xuewu's sofa and said simply: "The problem should not arise from the factory."

"Have you contacted Comrade Kaiyuan's home?"

Li Huaide looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Is there any movement over there?"

"No, I arranged for Zhou Yao from the security department to go there. Deputy Director Cheng's wife and children are at home."

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "They have not been investigated or questioned in any way."

"Deputy Director Gu has passed away."

Jing Yunong reminded: "She is afraid that Deputy Director Cheng's family may have some... inconveniences."

"What can be the inconvenience?"

Li Huaide glanced at several people with his gloomy eyes and said: "Comrade Kaiyuan is an outstanding cadre selected and transferred from the machinery factory by the organization!"

He took off the cigarette from his mouth and emphasized: "During his time at the steel rolling mill, his work performance was excellent and his personal character is obvious to all. What problems can he have?"

These words are asking everyone, and he is also asking himself. He emphasized so much just to increase his confidence.

Li Xuewu clasped his hands together, thought for a while and reminded: "Is it possible that he is implicated, or in a certain case..."

The room fell silent instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and for a moment you could hear a pin drop, and the atmosphere became depressing.

"I can still trust Comrade Kaiyuan"

After a long while, Li Huaide took a deep breath, held the cigarette in his hand and said seriously: "You must be cautious and fair when evaluating a comrade. I think there is nothing wrong with him."

"Yes, I think so too"

Jing Yunong glanced at Li Xuewu, looked at Li Huaide and said equally seriously: "As for Deputy Director Cheng's review, I think the relevant departments need to give sufficient reasons, otherwise it will not be recognized by the entire factory staff."

"Especially the censorship without any greeting is completely unreasonable!"

Although Xue Zhifu does not care about the disciplinary supervision work now, his words are becoming more serious.

"I am opposed to the unreasonable investigation of the steel rolling mill, and even more so to the disregard of the opinions of the Red Star Rolling Mill this time."

"Then show some attitude."

Li Huaide crushed the cigarette in his hand and told Li Haiyang, who was standing aside so nervous that his face turned pale: "Call and ask where Leader Du is. I'm going to 'stand under a bush to apologize'."

"Good...good leadership"

Li Haiyang shivered, then walked quickly to the phone, picked up the phone with trembling hands and went to the duty room of the Ministry of Industry.

"Try hard tonight, the situation is special"

Li Huaide looked at Xue Zhifu and Jing Yunong and said, "I don't worry if there is no one in the factory."

"We will go back to the factory now"

Xue Zhifu and Jing Yunong looked at each other, nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry."

"Well, this is best"

Li Huaide nodded, threw away the broken cigarette in his hand, and warned: "If there is no news from me tonight, don't call."

With that said, he looked at Xue Zhifu and said: "I told Comrade Weijie not to waste time, do the work in the factory well, and the overall development cannot be affected."

"Also, about Comrade Kaiyuan"

He looked at Jing Yunong and warned: "Strictly publicize work disciplines, strictly control internal public opinion, and do not allow anything that affects the normal work order to occur."

"I see"

Jing Yunong responded seriously: "I will start arranging this work with Deputy Director Gu tonight."

"You can contact the Security Department Zhou Yao directly."

Li Xuewu added on the side: "She can be trusted and can also mobilize the special service force of the Security Department."

After saying that, Jing Yunong frowned and looked at him, nodded slowly and said, "Deputy Team Leader Yu has more important work to do."

What important work can be skipped at this time and directly arrange for Zhou Yao, the chief of the security department, to execute the jurisdiction of the security force?

Of course, maintaining stability and management.

In other words, nothing can happen to Yu Decai of the security team, at least until this matter becomes clear and Li Xuewu cannot go back, nothing will happen to him.

Li Xuewu's trust in virtue and talent is the same as his trust in Zhou Yao.

The security team does not need nepotism, let alone private favors. No one can challenge Li Xuewu's authority, and no one can challenge the rules he has set.

Jing Yunong heard him tell him to go directly to the security guard Ke Zhouyao, so he thought of this.

Li Xuewu could not go back with her.

Yes, at this time, Li Huaide made arrangements and instructions for both her and Xue Zhifu, but he did not mention Li Xuewu.

But Li Xuewu was sitting in this lounge, participating in handling this crisis.

Therefore, there is no need to think deeply. Wherever Li Huaide is, there is Li Xuewu.

It can be seen that Li Huaide trusts and needs him, and even more clearly the importance of his presence in times of crisis.

In particular, Jing Yunong had already thought of what Li Huaide meant, which was Li Xuewu's influence.

Regarding Li Xuewu’s background, as well as his performance and participation in the case some time ago.

More importantly, Li Xuewu understood the case and the impact behind it.

He is qualified enough to help Li Huaide as a consultant, but he is not qualified to take the initiative to share Li Huaide's cake in the subsequent game.

Of course, after this incident, Li Huaide will definitely trust Li Xuewu even more, but this kind of use and precaution is not a kind of harm.

In Jing Yunong's view, Li Huaide not only had to guard against external intrusions, but also to guard against more internal strife.
