The banquet between the three of them lasted until eleven o'clock. Xue Yuan finally got drunk and was sent to a taxi by Chu Heng.
However, after the car left, Xue Yuan, who was already too drunk to speak in front of Chu Heng, his eyes became brighter, and there was no hint of drunkenness on his sober face.
"Master, drive back and stop on the roadside outside the hotel." Xue Yuan ordered the taxi driver.
The taxi driver looked at Xue Yuan strangely when he heard this and did as he was told.
The car stopped on the roadside outside the hotel. Xue Yuan looked out of the car window. At this time, he happened to see Chu Heng and Wu Wenwen getting into the car. Wu Wenwen subconsciously held Chu Heng's arm.
Seeing this scene, Xue Yuan's eyes were gloomy. After watching the two people get into the car, Xue Yuan asked the taxi driver to follow the two people's car.
The car was driving on urban roads and finally stopped in front of a community. Xue Yuan watched Wu Wenwen and Chu Heng get out of the car together, and then followed Chu Heng into the community.
Xue Yuan was naturally familiar with this community. Chu Heng's home was here. As Chu Heng's secretary, Xue Yuan knew the address of his leader very well.
Watching the two people disappear, an inexplicable look flashed across Xue Yuan's face. At this moment, he felt a sense of humiliation and anger, and even more of a fear.
Xue Yuan vaguely guessed Chu Heng's purpose. Chu Heng introduced Wu Wenwen to him, not because he really wanted to introduce a girlfriend for him, but because he wanted to control him through Wu Wenwen.
This made Xue Yuan full of anger. Firstly, it was because Chu Heng had sinister intentions. Secondly, what did Chu Heng think of him? After giving him a woman he had played with, did Chu Heng think of him as a tattered shoe picker?
"Young man, are you still going to leave?" the driver's voice sounded impatiently.
"Oh, let's take a walk." Xue Yuan came to his senses, looked back at Chu Heng's community, pursed his lips tightly, and secretly told himself to know how to be patient. A man can bend and stretch, but he still needs Chu Heng's support for his future career.
, Chu Heng must be satisfied. Not to mention that Chu Heng just arranged a girlfriend for him, even if Chu Heng arranged an ancestor for him, he would have to support him. As for his current girlfriend, Xue Yuan gritted his teeth...
In Songbei, Ling Hongwei dragged his exhausted body back home. He had three consecutive conversations this evening, and his throat was almost smoking.
In the bedroom, Ling Hongwei's wife, Zhang Yan, was lying on the bed looking at her mobile phone, waiting for her husband to rest together. At around 11 o'clock, Ling Hongwei finished washing and lay down on the bed. Zhang Yan glanced at her husband and asked casually, "What are you doing tonight?"
So late?"
"Talking to several middle-level managers in the unit, there will be a major internal adjustment next. Those who are idle and have no principles will be removed and replaced." Ling Hongwei replied.
"Will you offend others by doing this?" Zhang Yan looked at her husband worriedly.
"How can you do work without offending others? Unless you don't want to do things seriously, offending others is inevitable." Ling Hongwei said disapprovingly.
"But if you do this, will you be retaliated against in the future? Now the new County Magistrate Qiao is supporting you. What will you do if Magistrate Qiao is transferred later?" Zhang Yan frowned slightly.
"Haha, why do you think so much? I only know that if I am still in this position, I have to live up to my own conscience. I couldn't help it before, but now I have the support of County Magistrate Qiao. If I don't work hard and achieve something, then
I am ashamed of my trust in County Magistrate Qiao." Ling Hongwei said with a smile.
When Zhang Yan heard this, she remained silent and didn't say anything. She knew her husband's character too well and knew that her own persuasion was useless, so she simply didn't say much.
"By the way, my brother encountered something strange today." Zhang Yan said.
"What's the matter?" When Ling Hongwei heard his wife mention this, he remembered that his brother-in-law Zhang Shunfa was going to treat him to dinner at the Songbei Hotel that night, and couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with your brother today? Usually he doesn't even have three meals a day."
Okay, how come you have money to treat guests at Songbei Hotel today?"
"This is exactly what I want to say..." Zhang Yan couldn't help but recount what she heard from her brother tonight.
Ling Hongwei was listening quietly, but when he heard something from behind, Ling Hongwei sat up from the bed and stared straight at his wife, his eyes widening.
"Weiwei, what are you doing? Your eyes are so scary." Zhang Yan was startled by her husband and asked.
"Call your brother right away and ask him to come over." Ling Hongwei said in a deep voice with stern eyes.
"What's wrong, what time is it now? Can't we tell you something tomorrow?" Zhang Yan looked at her phone and said, "Look, it's past eleven now."
"Let him come here immediately." Ling Hongwei was resolute, with an unquestionable look on his face. He looked at his wife and said, "If I'm not wrong, this is a trap."
"What trap?" Zhang Yan became serious, "Weiwei, don't scare me."
"Why am I scaring you? Do you think a pie will fall from the sky and money will be so easy to make?" Ling Hongwei stared, "Even if a pie falls from the sky, why does it not fall on someone else's head? Why does it fall?
On your brother’s head?”
"But...but he was selling a house, and he broke the contract and refused to buy it, so he was compensated as liquidated damages. That is stipulated in black and white in the contract." Zhang Yan said.
"You haven't experienced it, so you don't know that there are all kinds of bribery methods now." Ling Hongwei looked serious, "I have worked in the prosecutorial system for so many years, and I have seen too many cases.
Take the case of your brother as an example. There have been similar cases before. Some illegal businessmen bribed leaders. They used this method to transfer benefits to leaders in disguise by purchasing designated houses and paying a price much higher than the market price.
, some go even further, like your brother did today, first pay the deposit, then regret it, and finally pay double the deposit. In this way, the leader can accept the money openly. Various cases can be said to be
Too many to mention.”
Zhang Yan was surprised when she heard her husband's words, and she was a little confused and said, "But my brother is just a common man, why would he be bribed?"
"Of course others won't bribe him, but what if someone comes after me?" Ling Hongwei said quietly.
"No way?" Zhang Yan was really frightened this time. If it was really what her husband said, it was really not a joke. Zhang Yan immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed to ask her brother to come over.
When the call was answered, Zhang Shunfa was in a commotion. He was drinking with friends. He had made a fortune today. After treating his sister to a meal at the hotel, he called a group of friends to go to the food stalls and started the second banquet tonight.
After receiving a call from his sister and hearing that his brother-in-law Ling Hongwei asked him to come over now, Zhang Shunfa was still a little unhappy. It wasn't until Zhang Yan got angry and asked Zhang Shunfa to come over immediately that Zhang Shunfa reluctantly took a taxi.
When he arrived at his sister's house, Zhang Shunfa saw his brother-in-law Ling Hongwei sitting on the sofa with a sullen face as soon as he walked in. At this time, Zhang Shunfa didn't realize what happened, and shouted, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter? Please treat me tonight."
You didn't come to eat, it was so late, and you had to call me over, and my sister didn't say anything on the phone."
"Shunfa, tell me about your house sale today. Tell me in detail, word for word." Ling Hongwei said seriously.
"What did I think it was, just this? Brother-in-law, you won't come to see me again tomorrow. You have to call me now. I'm drinking with my friends." Zhang Shunfa grinned and said nonchalantly.
"You bastard, please be serious. This is a big deal, you know?" Ling Hongwei looked annoyed and said sternly, "Tell me the details immediately."
Seeing that Ling Hongwei was really angry, Zhang Shunfa did not dare to laugh anymore and quickly told what happened today one by one.
The things were similar to what Ling Hongwei had just heard from his wife, but what he said from Zhang Shunfa's mouth was undoubtedly more detailed and had a few more details. After hearing this, Ling Hongwei looked at his brother-in-law Zhang Shunfa with a gloomy look, and then took out his mobile phone.
, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Qiao Liang's phone number.
The phone rang for a while before it was connected. Qiao Liang drank a lot with Zhang Haitao and Feng Yunming tonight and was already resting. He was woken up by Ling Hongwei's call. Seeing that it was Ling Hongwei, Qiao Liang was confused.
The ground picked it up.
"County Magistrate Qiao, may I disturb your rest?" Ling Hongwei heard that Qiao Liang's voice was a little confused, and guessed that Qiao Liang might be sleeping, so he apologized.
"It's okay, Lingjian. Is there anything important when you call me so late?" Qiao Liang asked.
"County Magistrate Qiao, I suspect that someone may be plotting to frame me," Ling Hongwei said.
"What's going on?" Qiao Liang's sleepiness disappeared and he woke up.
Ling Hongwei told what happened to his brother-in-law today, and also told similar cases that he had heard before. Qiao Liang became serious after listening, "Ling Jian, if it is really like what you said, then what happened
This is no small matter, you must contact the comrades in the discipline inspection department as soon as possible and take the initiative to explain the situation."
"Yes, I understand. I will call the leader of the city inspection later and explain the whole story in detail." Ling Hongwei nodded and said, "But I want to call the leader of the city inspection first.
Let me ventilate with you."
Hearing this, Qiao Liang immediately understood what Ling Hongwei meant. If someone wanted to frame Ling Hongwei, they would probably come after him, because Ling Hongwei was currently his most capable general in Songbei County. The other party wanted to get rid of Ling Hongwei.
, which is equivalent to breaking his arm.
At the same time, what Ling Hongwei said made Qiao Liang secretly frightened. Damn, there are really all kinds of despicable methods nowadays, and they are hard to guard against. He was falsely accused a few days ago.
Wait, now it's Ling Hongwei's turn, and the other party's methods are even more subtle. They actually framed Ling Hongwei by messing with Ling Hongwei's relatives.
Thinking about Ling Hongwei, Qiao Liang was shocked. The other party secretly wanted to mess with him before but failed to achieve his goal. Will he also use his relatives to achieve his goal later?
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang couldn't sit still and thought about calling her parents and sister and brother-in-law immediately to tell them to be more vigilant.
Qiao Liang didn't know at this time that someone had secretly laid a net against him, but that person was not in Songbei.
