…

Time goes back to a few hours ago, and the smoke has cleared from the small white building, Li Xiao's office.

District Chief Luo, who was still a little rickety, suddenly straightened his waist slightly, tilted his head and looked back and forth at Li Xiao with a pair of sharp eyes.

"You've gone a little too far during this period."

This was the first thing District Chief Luo said after everyone left.

Facing District Chief Luo's questioning, Li Xiao slightly raised his head and looked at him, but did not answer.

Seeing that Li Xiao didn't answer, District Chief Luo continued: "The superiors are attaching great importance to the west of the city. If you stir up trouble in the west of the city, it will be difficult for us to deal with it."

"The capitalists from the east of the city came over after smelling the smell. They just wanted to see my attitude. If I give in, the gate will collapse immediately!" Li Xiao replied with a serious expression.

"Stab Lin Hongjie, move Lin Sui, shoot Bai Fengjiu, from the north to the west of the city. Do you know how much trouble you have caused during this time and how many pairs of eyes are staring at you?" District Chief Luo asked again.

"I did not do Lin Hongjie's thing. I have never seen what Lin Suiren looks like. As for Bai Fengjiu, I have left someone there to explain to the authorities. Now people are trying to test me. I

You can’t really carry him for two laps, right?”

District Chief Luo looked at Li Xiao and asked with a pun: "Lin Hongjie and Lin Sui, did you do it? Is there any point in discussing it now?"

"It's meaningless. You don't ask, and I don't want to explain. Brother Luo, we have worked together for so many years. You know very well what kind of person I am. There are some things I can do, but there are some things I can't. I don't

Wear shoes, so I'm not afraid of nails piercing my feet, but if the nails were replaced by an axe, I definitely wouldn't be able to bear it."

Li Xiao looked at him calmly.

Luo Tongming is the longest-serving district mayor in Chengxi. He has been promoted step by step from a deputy director in Chengxi. During his thirty-five years in politics, his external transfer did not exceed three years. This means that Luo Tongming has worked in Chengxi at least all his life.

Thirty years.

There is an ancient saying that thirty years constitutes a life.

Thirty years can be regarded as almost all Luo Tongming's youthful passion and energy, and all of this he dedicated to the economic development and construction of the west of the city.

When he retired after his success, he was lucky to be able to retire as the leader of the district. To a certain extent, he was lucky.

Luo Tongming has been sitting in the position of Chengxi's parents' official for the past ten years. It is definitely bragging for Chengxi to say that everything is covered in every detail, but he does understand the general issues very well.

Including the middle-aged man in front of me, who is more than ten years younger than me, is no exception.

Looking back on the first time I met this "big brother" who was rising in the west of the city, I was just a deputy district chief who had not yet joined the leadership team.

At that time, Li Xiao proudly boasted to him that as long as the two of them could work together, he could be guaranteed to take the position of district mayor.

In less than three years, Luo Tongming took the position of district chief. Although there was his own efforts, the efforts made by Li Xiao behind the scenes were also indelible.

One is the head of the district in the west of the city, and the other is the underground king in the west of the city. It is hard to tell outsiders what kind of deal the two of them have reached.

It doesn't make much sense to discuss who accomplished whom at this time.

"I have only been retiring for two years. Everyone knows that I am retiring. The superiors have begun to divide my rights. If nothing happens, someone will be sent to serve as the deputy district chief soon and gradually take over my work. You know this

What does it mean?" Luo Tongming sighed.

"You can retreat, you can leave, do you think I can leave?" Li Xiao asked back.

"If you are willing to give up everything you have now, I can find the people above to try to give you a way out!" Luo Tongming's eyes were hot and genuine, and his expression did not seem to be fake at all.

Li Xiao shook his head and chuckled: "Haha, Brother Luo, there are no outsiders here. Ask yourself, do you think it is possible?"

"If you insist on making a desperate move, the final result will only be death." Luo Tongming's eyes never moved away from Li Xiao.

"Brother Luo, I completely understand what you said, but now that I have taken this road, I actually have no choice, right?" Li Xiao frankly admitted the accuracy of Luo Tongming's words.

"Is it worth it? Everything you wanted to have before, you already have it now!"

Luo Tongming was really puzzled. He came here today not only to mediate the conflict between Li Xiao and the Lin family, but also to discuss the retreat with him.

After all, there are too many things involved between the two. If after Luo Tongming retires, Li Xiao's banner in the west of the city collapses, then in the final investigation, the inspection team will most likely follow the lead and use the protective umbrella.

Locked onto him.

In the officialdom, the principle of taking tea to cool it has been used since ancient times. When Luo Tongming is no longer the leader in the west of the city, and the disciples under him are not enough to shoulder the heavy burden, then the chance of him being implicated is almost 100%!

Now the conflict between Li Xiao and the Lin family is intensifying, and more and more people in the east city are watching.

Although no matter how rich he is, he is not as powerful as the powerful, but as his power gradually dwindles, Luo Tongming has become more and more untrustworthy. Only by removing Li Xiao's safety risks while he is in office can he

Being able to retire and return home in peace and contentment.

Luo Tongming had long thought that for a figure like Li Xiao, who had been put on a pedestal by almost all the gangsters in the west of the city, if he wanted to step down willingly, he would have to spend a lot of words and maybe even make a little promise.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Xiao, this stubborn person, seemed to give him no chance to persuade him!

"I do have everything, but my people haven't had enough to eat yet!"

"Do you think the time you have now is enough for them to eat?"

Seeing Li Xiao's cold attitude, Luo Tongming also became a little restless. In his subconscious mind, he had a vague feeling that he might not be able to achieve his desired goal today.

"They may not have a chance to eat, but at least they have a chance to run! But if I run away, they are most likely to be shot. Brother Luo, am I right?"

Li Xiao asked bluntly without giving in.

"How can you still manage them at this time?" Luo Tongming became more and more excited.

"They call me big brother and protect me for the rest of my life. I don't care about them. Who cares about them?"

Li Xiao's tone had an unquestionable tone, which made Luo Tongming particularly uncomfortable.

"You just want to protect them. Do you know how many people will be implicated if something happens to you if I withdraw? Have you considered these middlemen!"

Li Xiao spoke very quickly but explained clearly: "If anything happens, I will take full responsibility. If something happens at any time, I will admit it at any time! Brother Luo, don't worry, I will die as long as I am sentenced. I have no family."

If you are not afraid of threats, I will never let things implicate you."

"What about the others? Are the others buried with you?" Luo Tongming asked with eyes wide open.

Luo Tongming's attitude made Li Xiao feel a little uncomfortable. He frowned and replied: "Walking on this road, I want to eat, grab, and reach out, but I am afraid of being caught. Isn't this a coward? I am not the savior, and I can't save everyone.
