Seeing Qiao Liang in a daze, He Qingqing couldn't help but wave his hand in front of Qiao Liang: "What is County Magistrate Qiao thinking about?"
"Nothing." Qiao Liang came back to his senses and suddenly thought that Ma Yuanxiang had made soup a few days ago and wanted to give it to him. He secretly thought about it and called Ma Yuanxiang in the evening.
After He Qingqing left, Qiao Liang took out his mobile phone and called Ma Yuanxiang. When the call was connected, Ma Yuanxiang seemed a little excited: "Qiao... Qiao Liang, are you looking for me?"
"I'll give you a call if I have nothing to do. I won't disturb you, right?" Qiao Liang said.
"No, no, I don't have anything important to do. I have nothing to do after class every day." Ma Yuanxiang said quickly.
Hearing this, Qiao Liang looked at the time, her heart moved, and she said with a smile: "Yuanxiang, it's almost time to get off work. Have you cooked yet? If you haven't done it yet, just make an extra portion and I'll go to your house to eat."
"Ah, really?" Ma Yuanxiang's voice was filled with irrepressible surprise, "Then you come back later and I'll buy some food."
"There's no need to go to so much trouble. Just cook whatever you have at home." Qiao Liang said.
"Yeah." Ma Yuanxiang responded in a low voice.
After the two talked on the phone, Qiao Liang was busy for a while after get off work, and then drove to Ma Yuanxiang's residence.
Having been to Ma Yuanxiang's house last time, Qiao Liang was familiar with the house this time. When he walked to the door of Ma Yuanxiang's house, Qiao Liang could smell the aroma of rice wafting from the house.
Qiao Liang raised his hand and knocked on the door. Soon, Ma Yuanxiang wearing an apron came out and opened the door. Seeing Qiao Liang, Ma Yuanxiang had a joy on her face that even she didn't notice: "You're here, come in quickly.
"
Four dishes and one soup were already placed on the table, and something seemed to be cooking in the kitchen. Qiao Liang couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "Didn't I say you don't need to bother? Didn't you make a special trip to buy food? It's so rich."
"
"There is a vegetable market downstairs. It is very convenient and not troublesome to buy." Ma Yuanxiang smiled and shook his head, "You sit down first, there is still one dish left in the kitchen, it will be ready soon."
Ma Yuanxiang went into the kitchen to work and quickly brought out the last dish. Seeing that Qiao Liang had already sat down at the dining table, Ma Yuanxiang brought a bottle of red wine over and sat down immediately.
"Do you want to drink?" Ma Yuanxiang asked.
"Whatever, it's fine, but it's just the two of us. You've cooked so much food, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it all." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Eat slowly, it's okay. If you can't finish it, put it in the refrigerator. The weather is so cold now, and the food won't spoil so easily." Ma Yuanxiang smiled.
Qiao Liang nodded. He had been looking at Ma Yuanxiang's hair. Now he was sure that the few hairs he saw beside the pillow when he woke up that morning must be Ma Yuanxiang's. In fact, there was no need to guess too much.
So of the three people, except for Ma Yuanxiang's mother-in-law, only Ma Yuanxiang is left. And Ma Yuanxiang's mother-in-law has short hair, so those long and slightly curly hair can only be Ma Yuanxiang's.
Eating the food slowly, clinking glasses with Ma Yuanxiang and taking a few sips of red wine. Qiao Liang looked at Ma Yuanxiang: "Yuanxiang, I stayed at your hometown that night. When I woke up in the morning, I found a few long hairs on the pillow. Those hairs were yours."
Right?"
"Ah?" Ma Yuanxiang was stunned, and her face turned red. She didn't expect that Qiao Liang would suddenly ask this matter, and she was not mentally prepared at all. The most important thing was that Ma Yuanxiang didn't expect that she would lose her hair on the pillow and be raped by Qiao Liang.
Liang found out.
"If you don't speak, you are acquiescing." Qiao Liang looked at Ma Yuanxiang and said.
"I...I..." Ma Yuanxiang hesitated, her face turned red to her ears, her heart was beating like a deer, her mind went blank, she didn't know how to answer Qiao Liang, she only thought of one thing: Qiao Liang
Liang found the hair on the pillow. Did he already guess what happened that night?
Thinking of this possibility, Ma Yuanxiang didn't even dare to look at Qiao Liang, her head was lowered, and she didn't know where to put her hands. Her confused body movements fully exposed how nervous Ma Yuanxiang was at this moment.
"That night, I had a dream, dreaming about doing that with my ex-wife. But when I woke up in the morning, I found that the dream was so real, it didn't seem like a dream, it seemed like..." Qiao Liang paused at this point.
After a pause, "It seems like I really did that kind of thing with a woman."
"I...I...then I don't know." Ma Yuanxiang stammered.
Seeing Ma Yuanxiang's reaction, combined with his guess and the few hairs that fell on the pillow, Qiao Liang smiled bitterly. He felt that he had guessed the truth. This truth also surprised him, and even made him feel
I am a bit less human.
"I did something like that to you that night, right?" Qiao Liang stared at Ma Yuanxiang and spoke.
"No...no..." Ma Yuanxiang raised her head and glanced at Qiao Liang, then quickly lowered her head, her voice so low that even she could not hear it.
Qiao Liang was silent for a moment and looked at her silently.
I don't know how long it took, but Ma Yuanxiang gathered up the courage and raised her head to look at Qiao Liang: "Qiao Liang, the past is in the past, let's not mention it anymore, okay?"
After saying this, Ma Yuanxiang's fair face turned as red as the sunset.
Ma Yuanxiang's words undoubtedly gave Qiao Liang an indirect answer, and Qiao Liang was suddenly filled with guilt: "I'm sorry, I drank wine that night and fell asleep deeply in the middle of the night. I thought I was dreaming, but I didn't expect it to be you...
…”
"Stop talking, let's not mention this matter, okay?" Ma Yuanxiang interrupted Qiao Liang's words and said with a blushing face.
"You don't have to mention this, but I have to apologize to you. I feel like I'm not a human being after doing that kind of thing to you." Qiao Liang blamed herself.
"You didn't mean it." Ma Yuanxiang said in a quiet voice, "I...I don't blame you either."
Hearing Ma Yuanxiang's words, Qiao Liang felt a lot better. After the two of them started talking, they looked at each other again and seemed to feel a little closer to each other.
The atmosphere during the meal was a bit strange. After Qiao Liang revealed what happened that night, Ma Yuanxiang suddenly did not dare to look at Qiao Liang. She kept her head down most of the time, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, so that the two of them were very nervous.
I spent most of the time eating and talking less.
However, when Qiao Liang finished eating and said goodbye, Ma Yuanxiang still insisted on sending Qiao Liang downstairs. Their eyes touched, and there was something inexplicable in their eyes.
After leaving Ma Yuanxiang's residence, Qiao Liang was still on the road when her cell phone rang. When she saw it was a call from Liang Wen, Qiao Liang's eyelids jumped. After receiving a call from Liang Wen so late at night, Qiao Liang felt uneasy.
"County Magistrate Qiao, the masked men who set fire are here again, and the building materials that were just shipped in yesterday were burned again." Liang Wen said with a mournful face on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Liang leaned back when he heard this. Sure enough, something happened at the construction site again!
"Mr. Liang, didn't the people from the police station go on patrol at night?" Qiao Liang asked eagerly.
"Yes, I just came here after patrolling, but it's useless. They wait for the people from the police station to finish patrolling before coming, as if they are specifically following the time." Liang Wen paused and said, "County Magistrate Qiao
, I even suspect that the group of masked men who set the fire may have been nearby, always keeping an eye on the situation at the construction site."
When Qiao Liang heard Liang Wen's words, he was sullen and silent. Since the people from the police station started patrolling the construction site a few days ago, the construction site has been calm for the past few days. Liang Wen suggested that the construction should continue. Qiao Liang also agreed with Liang Wen's opinion. After all,
The construction of the construction site cannot be delayed forever, and in the past two days, construction materials have begun to arrive at the construction site one after another. Unexpectedly, tonight, it was set on fire by those masked men again.
Hearing Qiao Liang's silence, Liang Wen said again: "County Magistrate Qiao, if we don't solve the safety problem at the construction site, we really can't start the construction. Otherwise, the building materials will be burned as soon as they come in, and there will be no way to proceed. If this continues for a long time, it will cost our group a lot of money."
We can’t afford it.”
"Mr. Liang, don't worry, I will definitely solve the safety problem at this construction site in a short time." Qiao Liang gritted his teeth.
"County Magistrate Qiao, we have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be a big deal for so many workers transferred from our group to waste time here." Liang Wen smiled bitterly. He really didn't want to complain to Qiao Liang about the difficulties, but he had to say it.
, after all, it’s not okay for workers to work here without work.
"Mr. Liang, don't worry. If I say as soon as possible, it won't take long. I know this well." Qiao Liang nodded.
After the two talked on the phone, Qiao Liang was so angry that he slapped the steering wheel, his teeth itching with hatred. These masked men were simply haunting.
Qiao Liang was angry when his cell phone rang again. This time it was Ding Xiaoyun calling. When he saw the caller number, Qiao Liang picked up the call.
"Mr. Qiao, I'm here in Beihe Park. Do you have time to come over and enjoy the night view of the park?" Ding Xiaoyun said.
"Secretary Ding is back?" Qiao Liang looked surprised.
"Well, I just returned to Liangbei from the city. Well, the car passed by Beihe Park. I asked the driver to stop and come to the park for a walk." Ding Xiaoyun said.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Qiao Liang said immediately.
Beihe Park is the largest park in Liangbei County. It is located next to the main road into the city. It is only three or four kilometers away from the center of the county. Qiao Liang drove there and arrived in less than ten minutes.
After getting off the car, Qiao Liang saw Ding Xiaoyun waiting for him at the entrance of the park and walked quickly over.
"Secretary Ding, why are you back early? According to the schedule, don't you have to come back for several days?" Qiao Liang looked at Ding Xiaoyun with a happy face.
"Hey, with so many things happening in the county, do you think I can safely go out to do business?" Ding Xiaoyun smiled bitterly.
"Secretary Ding, do you know everything?" Qiao Liang sighed.
"Well, Director He called me yesterday to report, so I thought about it and decided to rush back first. I'm afraid you can't handle this alone." Ding Xiaoyun nodded.
When Qiao Liang heard this, he felt a little moved. Ding Xiaoyun came back from the investment promotion trip ahead of schedule, not only to express concern for him, but also to support him.
The two stood together chatting, neither of them noticed Ding Xiaoyun's car parked not far away. Ding Xiaoyun's driver sat in the driver's seat and took several photos in the direction of the two of them with his mobile phone.
Looking at the photos on his phone, Ding Xiaoyun’s driver gritted his teeth and silently clicked send... (To be continued)
