Luo Fei and Zhao Xiaolan were sitting in the living room, Zhao Xiaolan was listless, and Luo Fei was frowning.
The people sent by Zhao Xiaolan to follow Lu Qian's mother failed because the tire was punctured. This disappointed both Luo Fei and Zhao Xiaolan. It was a pity that such a good opportunity was missed.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Xiaolan murmured: "When Lu Qian's mother was in Jiangzhou, how could it be that Qiao Liang accompanied her, and it was Qiao Liang who sent her off?"
Luo Fei lit a cigarette and took two puffs: "This is normal. Lu Qian and Qiao Liang have always had a good relationship, and Lu Qian is a member of Qiao Liang's small circle. Lu Qian's mother went to Sanjiang Mountain to play, which is Qiao Liang's hometown.
He is familiar with the terrain, so he naturally needs to accompany him. As for asking Qiao Liang to send it, Lu Qian should be working overtime and has no time, so she entrusted Qiao Liang to it."
Zhao Xiaolan blinked: "I thought Qiao Liang was driving Lu Qian's mother to Huangyuan, but the car went west again midway. It seems that Lu Qian's mother is not in Huangyuan."
Luo Fei pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say. That kid Qiao Liang is very weird. Maybe he found out that he was being followed and left like that on purpose."
Zhao Xiaolan frowned: "The people who listened to my arrangements said that he did it very covertly, and Qiao Liang should not be aware of it."
Luo Fei snorted: "The person you arranged got benefits, so you can't say that he is incompetent. I think it is not only possible that he was discovered by Qiao Liang, but even the tire puncture was caused by Qiao Liang."
Zhao Xiaolan's eyelids twitched: "If Qiao Liang finds out, will he think of anything?"
"What can he think of? Even if he is a ghost, he never thought that this matter would be related to me." Luo Fei snorted again.
Zhao Xiaolan nodded and continued: "Otherwise, I will continue to investigate through other methods."
"What can we do?" Luo Fei looked at Zhao Xiaolan.
"I have an acquaintance in the city bureau, and I have asked him to find a way to track it all through the cameras along the way. We will definitely be able to find out where Qiao Liang ended up driving," Zhao Xiaolan said.
After hearing what Zhao Xiaolan said, Luo Fei's eyes lit up. Well, this seems to be a good idea.
Luo Fei couldn't help but look at Zhao Xiaolan with admiration. After all, this woman had been handling cases for many years and she just had a way.
Seeing Luo Fei's admiring gaze, Zhao Xiaolan smiled proudly.
But after thinking for a moment, Luo Fei immediately remembered something, his body trembled, and then he waved his hands and said decisively: "No, this road is blocked, and it must not be done."
"What?" Zhao Xiaolan asked puzzled.
"Have you forgotten what Lu Qian does? Have you forgotten where she comes from? Such an investigation would alert the departments in other places, and all departments in the system are linked. Once any news is leaked in a certain link, they will be
Lu Qian noticed every trace of
Xiang, she will definitely trace the root cause. With the background that she can't figure out now, once the matter gets serious, maybe..." Thinking of the uncontrollable consequences that almost happened when Lu Qian came to arrest Huang Jie last time, Luo Fei felt scared, Ni
Ma, we can't take any more risks.
Zhao Xiaolan understood what Luo Fei meant and felt that it made sense. She blinked and said, "Then let's just forget about it?"
Luo Fei was silent in thought, took out his mobile phone, opened the photo of Lu Qian and her daughter together that night, looked at it for a while, and said: "Qiao Liang should be the one who had dinner with Lu Qian and her daughter that night.
"
"Well, almost." Zhao Xiaolan nodded.
"We don't know the identity of Lu Qian's mother or her background, so will Qiao Liang know?" Luo Fei said.
"This..." Zhao Xiaolan pondered.
Luo Fei continued: "If Qiao Liang knows, what about Lao An? Will he also know?"
Once he thought of this, Luo Fei couldn't help but attach great importance to it.
Zhao Xiaolan blinked again: "Old Luo, what did you think of?"
Luo Fei took two puffs of cigarette and said nothing.
Zhao Xiaolan thought for a while: "How about I go back and find an opportunity to ask Qiao Liang to sit down and test him out?"
Luo Fei looked at Zhao Xiaolan: "What reason did you use to ask Qiao Liang out? Qiao Liang knows that I hate him, so he may not come out if you ask him out."
Zhao Xiaolan smiled: "Just because you hate him doesn't mean me. The relationship between Qiao Liang and me is still good. After I resigned, he was always respectful and polite when he met me. He warmly called me Sister Zhao. Then I said he hadn't sat down for a long time.
Isn't it normal for us to sit down and have a meal together? Besides, given my status, how can he have the nerve not to give me this face?"
Hearing what Zhao Xiaolan said made sense, Luo Fei nodded, and then glared at Zhao Xiaolan: "Just because I hate Qiao Liang doesn't mean you, what do you mean? Do you like him?"
"No, no." Zhao Xiaolan waved her hands hurriedly, "We are a couple, how can I like someone you hate? I mean, you hate him, Qiao Liang knows, but he doesn't know that I hate him too, and he is so sentimental.
I thought I had a good impression of him, and I could just take advantage of this."
Zhao Xiaolan's words were duplicitous. She actually liked Qiao Liang very much. What woman wouldn't like such a handsome and suave young man? It's just that she never had the chance to get close to Qiao Liang.
But in front of Luo Fei, of course he couldn't reveal the slightest meaning, otherwise it would arouse Luo Fei's vigilance. Ever since Luo Fei discovered the incident with Xiao Xianrou, he is now particularly sensitive to his contact with men.
After hearing what Zhao Xiaolan said, Luo Fei nodded: "Well, if you can find out something from Qiao Liang's mouth, that would be the best. To save my heart, when you talk to Qiao Liang, you should be careful whether you are old or not.
Let's wait and see if he knows Lu Qian's background, this is the most important and critical thing."
Zhao Xiaolan nodded in agreement.
Luo Fei then picked up the phone and called Qin Chuan, telling him that there was no need to check the former senior executive named Lu in Huangyuan, saying that he had overheard that Lu Qian was not the daughter of the former senior executive surnamed Lu.
Luo Fei didn't want Qin Chuan to get involved in this matter at this time. Last time he arranged for Huang Jie to almost make a big mistake, and just thinking about it makes him scared and angry.
After making the call, Luo Fei leaned his head on the sofa, looked at the ceiling and pondered...
Xuan.
At 4 o'clock the next morning, Qiao Liangding's alarm clock rang.
Qiao Liang then got up, got dressed, and tiptoed out of the guest room, preparing to leave quietly without disturbing Liao Gufeng and his wife.
After coming out, I heard some noise in the kitchen. I went over and saw that Lu Qian's mother was busy, and the smell of fried eggs was wafting in the air.
Lu Qian's mother heard the noise and turned around to see Qiao Liang: "Xiao Qiao, auntie has prepared breakfast now. You can eat it before leaving."
Qiao Liang was immediately moved. Mrs. Liao was so kind to her, getting up so early and busy with her.
"Auntie, I can just have breakfast at the service area on the way. I'm sorry that you have to get up so early."
Lu Qian's mother smiled: "You're welcome, go wash up and get ready for dinner."
"Hey, okay." Qiao Liang continued to feel moved, nodded, and went to wash up.
After washing up, I arrived at the restaurant. Breakfast was already on the table, including two fried eggs, a cup of hot milk, and toast.
Qiao Liang then started eating. Lu Qian's mother sat next to him, looking at him with gentle eyes and a faint smile on her lips.
Qiao Liang finished eating and wiped her mouth: "Auntie, you've eaten. Thank you."
Lu Qian's mother stood up: "Xiao Qiao, don't be polite to Auntie from now on. When you come, just treat it as your own home."
Qiao Liang didn't know what to say. This was Jiangdong's boss's home, how could it be his own? He had worked hard all his life, and he couldn't afford such a big villa with that little salary.
Qiao Liang continued: "Auntie, I'm leaving. When Secretary Liao wakes up, you can talk to him and I won't disturb him."
Lu Qian's mother nodded, then sent Qiao Liang out. Qiao Liang got in the car, waved to Lu Qian's mother, politely thanked her again, and then drove away.
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Qiao Liang arrived in Jiangzhou, put his car in the community, and then went to work in the compound.
Qiao Liang went directly to Anzhe's office, where Anzhe was sitting on the sofa reading today's Jiangdong Daily.
Jiangdong Daily has printing points in various cities across the province and satellite distribution. The day's newspaper can be delivered as soon as work starts.
Seeing Qiao Liang come in, Anzhe put down the newspaper, stood up and stretched his body: "Just came back?"
"Yes, I rushed back early in the morning." Qiao Liang nodded.
"How was last night?" Anzhe walked to the desk and sat down.
Qiao Liang went on to talk about the dinner he had at Liao Gufeng's house last night. Because he was drunk and couldn't drive, he stayed at his house.
An Zhe nodded after hearing this: "Your treatment is not low. I estimate that you are the first and the last person in Jiangdong Province to enjoy this treatment."
Qiao Liang smiled and then said to An Zhe: "Boss, is that manuscript out?"
"Yes, I just finished reading it," An Zhe said.
Qiao Liang then sat on the sofa and picked up the newspaper to read. The article was quite long and included comments. It was obviously treated as a key article.
An Zhe looked at Qiao Liang: "How is it? Are you satisfied with this manuscript?"
Qiao Liang didn't know how to answer. When An Zhe said this, the look on his face was a little unpredictable, and he breathed softly: "Boss, I told him about this when we had dinner at Secretary Liao's house last night.
Manuscript."
"Well, how did he react?" An Zhe looked at Qiao Liang.
"His reaction was similar to yours. He was very calm and said he understood."
"Didn't you say anything else?"
"Others..." Qiao Liang thought for a moment, "Then he asked me if you knew about this. I said yes, and he asked what your reaction was. After I told him, he said something..."
"How did you say that?"
"His actual words were: This guy has improved."
Anzhe's eyelids twitched slightly, then nodded: "Yes, I understand."
Qiao Liang frowned slightly, knowing it again. It seemed that An Zhe would not say anything else except these words.
Anzhe then touched the phone on the table and started dialing. After dialing the number, he pressed the speakerphone button.
Qiao Liang looked at An Zhe, wondering who he was calling.
