"That seems to be a false alarm. If Xinyi drinks with Secretary Xu, nothing will happen. I didn't expect that the relationship between the two is so good. Secretary Xu even made a special trip to Songbei to drink with Xinyi." Lu Qian smiled and said that she did not know the situation between Ye Xinyi and Xu Honggang.
Qiao Liang said helplessly, "It's just because I'm drinking with Secretary Xu Honggang that I feel uneasy."
"Why?" Lu Qian asked confused.
"You don't know the relationship between the two of them. Secretary Xu Honggang has been frantically pursuing the person he loves, but has been rejected by the person he loves. Secretary Xu Honggang has been insisting on calling and sending text messages to the person he likes every day, and they have been entangled with each other to the point that the person he likes has been rejected. Almost crazy." Qiao Liang explained.
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Qian was stunned, "Doesn't Secretary Xu have a family?"
"He is divorced." Qiao Liang said.
"Oh, that's it." Lu Qian suddenly realized that she really didn't know about Xu Honggang's divorce.
Seeing that Qiao Liang's face was not good-looking, Lu Qian comforted her, "Don't think too much. Even if Secretary Xu is pursuing his favorite, he is unlikely to do anything outrageous. After all, he is a city leader, so it is impossible for him to do anything. There is no bottom line.”
"I'm afraid that some people really have no bottom line." Qiao Liang curled his lips, "And you don't understand Secretary Xu's obsession with his crush."
"You sound like you know her very well. Why, your relationship with your favorite has reached the point where you talk about everything and are intimate?" Lu Qian stared at Qiao Liang quietly.
Hearing the jealousy in Lu Qian's words, Qiao Liang couldn't laugh or cry, "We are talking about business now, where are you going to get us into this?"
"I didn't want to get into it. I think you have something up your sleeve." Lu Qian snorted.
"I really have no secrets in my heart. As a friend, isn't it normal for me to care about Ye Xinyi?" Qiao Liang grinned, "Is it possible that you hope that I am a cold and heartless person?"
"It's true that you care about your friends, but you care about your crush more than you care about ordinary friends." Lu Qian said angrily.
"Come on, let's stop talking about this. I will never understand the truth with you women." Qiao Liang didn't want to argue with Lu Qian about this matter. In fact, he still felt a little guilty in his heart.
Lu Qian didn't hold on to this matter, she knew now was not the time to mess around.
When the two rushed to the county, Xu Honggang had already left Ye Xinyi's dormitory, carrying the red wine he had brought and the cup he had just drank with Ye Xinyi. Xu Honggang asked the driver to stop by an inner ditch river, and then I got out of the car and threw the bag in my hand into the water.
The driver was called here temporarily by Xu Honggang. He had already booked a hotel for the night, but Xu Honggang suddenly called him over. The driver was a little puzzled. According to Xu Honggang's previous intention, he was going to spend the night in the county, so why did he suddenly do it again? Going to leave?
Looking at Xu Honggang's back, the driver didn't dare to say a word. He felt that there was anger brewing in Xu Honggang's body. It was better not to get into trouble now.
Xu Honggang stood silently on the side of the road for a while, his face extremely gloomy. At this moment, his heart was full of unwillingness. He was just a little bit successful, but in the end he failed.
Why did the people from the county bureau come here? Especially the county bureau director Cai Minghai came over in person. Looking at the way the other party smashed the lock, he obviously realized that something might have happened to Ye Xinyi. Could it be that Ye Xinyi really made the noise in the bathroom? Got a distress signal?
After thinking silently for a long time, Xu Honggang was full of annoyance and couldn't understand some parts.
I don't know how long he stood there before Xu Honggang took out his cell phone and called Miao Peilong.
When the call was connected, Xu Honggang said, "Secretary Miao, are you busy?"
"I'm not busy, Secretary Xu, what instructions do you have?" On the other end of the phone, Miao Peilong responded with a smile on his face, but he was a little surprised that Xu Honggang called him at this time.
"Where is Secretary Miao now? I happened to be in Songbei. If Secretary Miao is free, let's have a drink together," Xu Honggang said.
"Secretary Xu, are you coming to Songbei?" Miao Peilong was stunned for a moment, then said happily, "I'm at the Songbei Hotel. Just come over here and I'll pick you up downstairs."
"Okay, we'll see you later." Xu Honggang smiled and hung up the phone.
In the box, Miao Peilong put away his mobile phone and murmured in his heart. Xu Honggang had just come to Songbei, and he took the initiative to invite him for a drink. This was really strange. He had not had much contact with Xu Honggang before. The two of them We don't actually have much contact with each other in private.
Suppressing the doubts in his mind, Miao Peilong said to several friends in the box, "You guys eat first. I have other entertainment later, so I'll excuse you now."
Miao Peilong left the box and asked the staff to arrange a new box. Miao Peilong immediately came downstairs.
After waiting for a few minutes, Miao Peilong saw Xu Honggang's car approaching and rushed forward to greet him. He opened the door for Xu Honggang with a smile and said, "Secretary Xu, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to Songbei today so that I could make arrangements to entertain you."
"Haha, I happened to be here with some personal matters, so I don't dare to bother Secretary Miao too much." Xu Honggang said calmly.
"Secretary Xu, look at what you said, you are the leader, and I have the responsibility and obligation to provide good reception." Miao Peilong said with a smile.
Hearing the flattering meaning in Miao Peilong's words, Xu Honggang smiled and patted Miao Peilong on the shoulder, "Let's go in and chat while we eat."
Miao Peilong smiled and nodded.
The two of them entered the elevator. Xu Honggang said intentionally or unintentionally, "Secretary Miao, Cai Minghai from your Songbei County Bureau caused quite a stir before and was suspended. I heard he has been reinstated?"
"Yes, reinstated." When Miao Peilong heard Xu Honggang mention this, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
"This Cai Minghai is quite capable. Secretary Luo ordered his suspension. I didn't expect that he would be reinstated so quickly. It seems that he has someone above him." Xu Honggang said with a smile.
"I don't know if there is anyone above him. I only know that he and Qiao... Well, he has a very good relationship with County Magistrate Qiao." Miao Peilong glanced at Xu Honggang. Xu Honggang used to take good care of Qiao Liang. However, last time Xu Honggang came to the county, he seemed to be a little distant from Qiao Liang, which made him a little unsure about the relationship between Xu Honggang and Qiao Liang.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. When Xu Hong heard Miao Peilong's words, his eyes flashed, "You said that Cai Minghai and Qiao Liang have a very good relationship?"
"No, I have almost become County Magistrate Qiao's follower." Miao Peilongpi smiled, "Of course, it may be inappropriate for me to say this, but this is the real relationship between the two of them."
"Are Cai Minghai and Deputy Secretary Ye familiar with each other?" Xu Honggang asked again.
"Are you talking about Ye Xinyi?" Miao Peilong looked at Xu Honggang doubtfully. When Xu Honggang nodded, Miao Peilong shook his head and said, "I'm really not sure about this, but they shouldn't have much contact. Comrade Ye Xinyi We have only been in the county for a short time, so the two of us should not be familiar with each other."
"Really?" Xu Honggang was thoughtful.
…
Ye Xinyi dormitory.
When Qiao Liang and Lu Qian arrived, only Cai Minghai and a female comrade from the county bureau were left in the room, and the others went back first.
Qiao Liang asked as soon as he entered the door, "How is Secretary Ye?"
"I just woke up for a while, and I'm in the house." Cai Minghai pointed to the bedroom.
Qiao Liang immediately walked to the bedroom. The lesbian from the county bureau was still accompanying Ye Xinyi. When he saw Qiao Liang coming in, he quickly stood up and said, "County Chief Qiao."
"It's okay, you sit down." Qiao Liang waved his hand, looked at Ye Xinyi, and asked with concern, "Secretary Ye, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy." Ye Xinyi shook her head.
Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and Lu Qian also stepped forward to care about Ye Xinyi's situation.
Qiao Liang stared at Ye Xinyi for a few times. Seeing that Ye Xinyi seemed to be fine and that there was nothing else to do with him in the room for the time being, he walked out, winked at Cai Minghai, and walked out to the balcony.
The two came to the balcony, and Qiao Liang asked, "Lao Cai, did Secretary Xu do anything unusual when you came in?"
Cai Minghai said, "To say that there is something abnormal, there must be something wrong. I knocked hard on the door several times, but there was no response from the room. I really thought that no one was in the room until we started to break the lock. Secretary Xu I just walked out and opened the door, which in itself was abnormal. Also, after I entered the room, I saw Secretary Ye sleeping, but it didn’t look like he was falling asleep after being drunk... When I came out, Secretary Xu didn’t He said hello and left, taking away the wine bottle and cup he was drinking with Secretary Ye..."
Hearing this, Qiao Liang's face suddenly turned ugly, and he became silent. Could Ye Xinyi have been attracted by Xu Honggang...
With gloomy eyes, Qiao Liang hesitated for a moment, looked at Cai Minghai, and asked tactfully, "Old Cai, did the lesbian you called find anything abnormal about Secretary Ye's body?"
"No." Cai Minghai shook his head.
"Are you sure?" Qiao Liang asked.
"Well, no." Cai Minghai answered affirmatively and added, "Just after Secretary Ye woke up, the female comrade from our bureau accompanied her into the bathroom to check and make sure there was nothing abnormal."
Cai Minghai's words made Qiao Liang feel the last stone fall in his heart, and he felt scared at the same time. Fortunately, Ye Xinyi sent the distress message in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. If he had let Cai Minghai come one step later, Xu Honggang would have succeeded.
How did Xu Honggang become like this? There was a trace of confusion in Qiao Liang's eyes. He couldn't imagine that the leader who supported him, cared for him, and respected him very much would now do such an unscrupulous thing.
