After Cai Minghai and Qiao Liang finished talking about the matter, Qiao Liang took him to the county compound cafeteria to have lunch together before leaving.
Qiao Liang returned to the office after dinner and was about to take a lunch break when the phone rang. Seeing that it was Lu Qian, Qiao Liang picked up the call.
"What the hell are you doing?" Lu Qian asked.
"What else can I do at this hour? I just finished my meal and am going to take a nap for a while." Qiao Liang said.
"I'm going to go abroad." Lu Qian said.
"Going abroad?" Qiao Liang was stunned, "Why are you going abroad?"
"We have investigated the murderer who shot you. He is a killer from abroad. I am going to lead a team to go abroad in person." Lu Qian said.
"A killer from abroad?" Qiao Liang's eyes widened. Damn, who is so cruel that he hired a killer from abroad to kill me!
"Yes, this time we got some clues with the help of the ministry and international colleagues, so I plan to take people there quickly and leave tomorrow morning," Lu Qian said.
After hearing this, Qiao Liang was a little worried about Lu Qian for no reason, "You can let the people below do this kind of thing, why do you run away by yourself? Is it dangerous?"
"You still have a conscience and know how to care about me." Lu Qian couldn't help laughing. Qiao Liang's simple words of concern could make her happy all day long.
Qiao Liang continued, "After all, foreign countries are not as good as domestic ones. I'm a little worried about you going to a girl's family to handle cases."
"Don't worry, the ministry has helped us coordinate with the local police through relevant departments. Besides, this is not the first time I have gone abroad to handle a case. Do you think I am the kind of rich lady who has no power to restrain a chicken?" Lu Qian
He smiled and said, "Just wait for my good news."
Qiao Liang frowned slightly, and wanted to persuade her again, but Lu Qian said again, "Don't be nagging, the action plan has been decided on this time, and I am responsible for it. The air tickets have been booked. As the captain, I can't run away from the battle."
.”
Hearing what Lu Qian said, Qiao Liang couldn't say anything more. He knew that it was Lu Qian's responsibility and mission. Putting on those clothes, some responsibilities were unavoidable. At the same time, Qiao Liang was secretly moved in his heart.
I know that Lu Qian has been working hard to track down the murderer for this case.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Liang said, "Then I will go to the city in the evening and we will have a meal together as a farewell to you."
"You make it sound like I'm going to be gone for a long time. If everything goes well, I'll be back in a few days." Lu Qian said, her tone suddenly becoming fierce, "Damn it, you're not allowed to carry it when I'm not around."
Don't let me flirt with other women, or I'll come back and deal with you."
Hearing what Lu Qian said, Qiao Liang couldn't help but mutter in her heart, as if you can control me in the city.
"Damn you, why didn't you say anything? Do you feel guilty?" Lu Qian asked angrily.
"Nonsense, you are always suspicious, and I don't even bother to talk to you." Qiao Liang curled his lips, "Okay, let's do this for now, and we'll talk later when we meet in the evening."
Qiao Liang hung up the phone and frowned as he thought about being shot. This case has made substantial progress now. He didn't expect that someone hired a foreign killer to kill him. What the hell?
Yes, who is so cruel? Several faces flashed through Qiao Liang's mind, and he quickly shook his head. If you want to say it is suspicious, everyone is suspicious, but Qiao Liang also felt that it was because of some conflicts at work or because of some personal holidays.
Taking his life seems too exaggerated.
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, once Lu Qian solves the case, we will know who did it!
Qiao Liang shook his head and didn't think about it again. After taking a lunch break, he got up and went to work.
At 3 p.m., Qiao Liang went to the Education Bureau to conduct work research.
Education is the greatest livelihood of the people. This is what Qiao Liang has repeatedly emphasized during meetings. Since he became the county magistrate of Songbei, education has been one of the tasks he values most, ranking only after economic work.
During the afternoon survey, Tang Xiaofei, who was originally in charge of education, was arranged to accompany the survey. However, after Qiao Liang set off, he found out that Tang Xiaofei had not come. He asked the staff and learned that Tang Xiaofei had left for something in the afternoon. Qiao Liang was so angry that he almost died. Damn it, Tang Xiaofei didn't even say hello to him when she asked for leave, and she didn't even see him as the county magistrate.
Annoyed, Qiao Liang was helpless. Although this woman was his subordinate, she was more important than the old man. Qiao Liang really couldn't do anything to her.
After conducting research at the Education Bureau, Qiao Liang held a county-wide symposium on education work at the Education Bureau to study increasing policy support and financial investment in education. With Songbei County’s limited financial resources, Qiao Liang, as the county magistrate, , and also do their best to support the development of education in Songbei County.
After a busy afternoon, Qiao Liang returned to the office just before evening, tidied up briefly, and took a car to the city.
Just as Qiao Liang was driving to the city, on the highway from the city to Songbei, a car with a Jiangzhou license plate and tail number 003 was also driving towards Songbei County.
At one point, Qiao Liang's car even passed each other's car on the highway.
If Qiao Liang could see it, he would find that the car was Xu Honggang's car.
Xu Honggang came to Songbei this evening. The purpose of his coming to Songbei was naturally very simple. It was probably for Ye Xinyi. This was the woman who haunted him. For Ye Xinyi, Xu Honggang even became a little bit crazy. .
The car got off the highway, Xu Honggang asked the driver to drive directly to the downstairs of Ye Xinyi's dormitory, and then waited quietly in the car.
Xu Honggang didn't call Ye Xinyi, and he didn't inform Ye Xinyi in advance that he would come tonight. Even so, he could only wait aimlessly downstairs in Ye Xinyi's dormitory. He didn't know how long he would have to wait, but in Xu Honggang seemed to be particularly patient when it came to dealing with Ye Xinyi, even if he was asked to wait for a few hours.
Outside the car, night had fallen. After Xu Honggang had been waiting in the car for more than half an hour, it was already past six o'clock. The driver's stomach was already growling with hunger. Xu Honggang was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, and there was no movement at all. , couldn't help but said, "Secretary Xu, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat?"
"No need." Xu Honggang waved his hand, guessing that the driver was probably hungry, and said, "You can go eat by yourself. After eating, you can find a place to stay by yourself at night. Don't worry about me. I will call you if I want to use the car."
"Okay." The driver nodded, opened the door and got out of the car. He knew that Xu Hong had just come to Songbei for the beautiful deputy secretary, so he didn't ask any more questions.
The driver left, and Xu Honggang was the only one left in the car. Xu Honggang was still sitting, looking out the window from time to time.
I don't know how long it took, but Xu Honggang even felt that he had been waiting for a long time before he saw Ye Xinyi's figure appearing downstairs. Xu Honggang's expression perked up immediately, and he immediately got out of the car and walked towards Ye Xinyi.
Ye Xinyi was walking towards the dormitory building. She was thinking about something and didn't notice Xu Honggang. It wasn't until she noticed a dark figure blocking her way that Ye Xinyi was stunned for a moment and looked up.
Seeing that it was Xu Honggang, Ye Xinyi looked startled and took a step back almost reflexively, "Secretary Xu?"
"My favorite, let me come and see you." Xu Honggang had a gentle smile on his face.
"Secretary Xu, I'm very well. I don't need you to come see me." Ye Xinyi frowned, feeling powerless in her heart. Looking at Xu Honggang, she was filled with helplessness. She didn't know when the man in front of her would stop pestering her. she.
"Xinyi, don't be so hostile to me. I really just came to see you. I have no other intention." Xu Honggang took a deep breath and said, "And I have already thought about it. From now on, we will only be friends." , I won’t pester you anymore, let’s get along like friends, okay?”
"Really?" Ye Xinyi looked at Xu Honggang with wide eyes, almost thinking that her ears were misheard. Is this really what Xu Honggang said?
"Of course it's true." Xu Honggang nodded affirmatively, but when he saw Ye Xinyi's reaction, Xu Honggang's eyes flashed with pain, which strengthened his determination.
Hearing Xu Honggang's affirmative answer, Ye Xinyi felt relieved. Today is the sun rising in the west? Xu Honggang actually figured it out.
Ye Xinyi was still thinking, and Xu Honggang said again, "Xinyi, in order to celebrate the opening of a new chapter in our relationship, and to wish us to become good friends in the future, how about we have a drink tonight?"
Ye Xinyi blinked. After hearing that Xu Honggang no longer pestered her, she felt a little more dissatisfied with Xu Honggang for no reason. At this moment, hearing what Xu Honggang said, Ye Xinyi hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to agree or not.
"Why, do you hate me so much that you don't want to be friends with me in the future?" Xu Honggang said disappointedly.
"No, Secretary Xu, I didn't mean that. Don't get me wrong." Ye Xinyi said quickly.
"Then you won't refuse to have a drink for our future friendship, right?" Xu Honggang said.
"Okay." Ye Xinyi agreed after thinking about it. As long as Xu Honggang stops pestering her, this will be a great thing.
"Okay, let's go to your dormitory to drink." Xu Honggang smiled and said half-jokingly, "Of course, if you are afraid that I have evil intentions, we can go to a restaurant."
After Ye Xinyi heard this, she originally planned to go to the restaurant, but now it was hard for her to speak, lest people think she was a villain.
"Secretary Xu is joking, you are not that kind of person." Ye Xinyi forced a smile on her face and said, "Go to my dormitory, I will order some dishes."
After speaking, Ye Xinyi went upstairs first. After Xu Hong came in, Ye Xinyi deliberately opened the dormitory door completely.
Seeing Ye Xinyi's actions, Xu Honggang's eyes flickered, smiled, and said nothing.
At this time, Ye Xinyi noticed that Xu Honggang was holding a bottle of red wine and said unexpectedly, "Secretary Xu, did you bring some wine?"
"Yes, this is a bottle of red wine that I treasure. This bottle of wine has a special meaning. It was brought back from abroad by a friend of mine. He said that when the owner of this red wine made this wine, he made three bottles, each symbolizing Friendship, love, family, every bottle is unique, and this bottle of wine happens to symbolize friendship, so I brought it tonight." Xu Honggang said with a smile.
Hearing what Xu Honggang said, Ye Xinyi's eyes flashed with surprise, and she nodded and said, "Secretary Xu, you are serious."
Ye Xinyi was really surprised at this time. She felt that Xu Honggang seemed to have really changed a lot, and the smile on his face was full of sincerity, which made Ye Xinyi slowly let go of her guard.
Ye Xinyi called and ordered a few dishes, and the takeout was delivered quickly. The two sat opposite each other at the simple dining table. Xu Honggang opened the red wine and poured the wine for the two of them. While looking at Ye Xinyi, he smiled and said, "That's really cool." I didn’t expect that we could sit down and drink so calmly. I used to really feel like I was going crazy. Xinyi, I apologize for some of the actions I did before that made you disgusted."
"Secretary Xu, don't say that." Ye Xinyi suddenly felt like the clouds had cleared. Xu Honggang had really changed, and she would finally be able to get rid of Xu Honggang's entanglement in the future.
"My favorite, come and drink to our future friendship." Xu Honggang raised his glass.
"Okay." Ye Xinyi also picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Xu Honggang.
Xu Honggang held the wine glass and took a sip while silently watching Ye Xinyi. After seeing Ye Xinyi actually drink it, an inexplicable smile flashed across Xu Honggang's face and he spit back the wine in his mouth. cup.
Ye Xinyi put down the cup and saw that the wine in Xu Honggang's cup was still there. She was stunned for a moment and said, "Secretary Xu, why didn't you drink?"
"I drink." Xu Honggang said with a smile, "I have a stomachache recently. The doctor told me that I can't drink for the time being, but I can't control that much. Working in the system, how can I not have social activities, but I have to eat something first. Drink it after filling your stomach."
"Oh." Ye Xinyi nodded subconsciously, vaguely feeling that something was strange, and didn't think much about it for a moment.
Xu Honggang picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites of vegetables to eat. He pretended to hold up the wine glass with one hand, but his eyes were quietly observing Ye Xinyi.
Something is wrong, something is wrong! Ye Xinyi, who was also picking up vegetables with chopsticks, suddenly felt confused and dizzy. She couldn't help but hold her head with her hands.
"Xinyi, what's wrong with you?" Xu Honggang noticed Ye Xinyi's strangeness and stood up pretending to be concerned.
"No...it's okay." Ye Xinyi shook her head. When she saw Xu Honggang's concerned expression, she didn't know if it was her imagination. She felt that Xu Honggang's expression suddenly turned ferocious.
Ye Xinyi shook her head vigorously as she felt sleepy. When her eyes inadvertently glanced at the bottle of red wine on the table, her gaze stopped for a moment and her heart suddenly sank.
