"Chen...Chen Dingzhong...you...don't mess around." Ruan Mingbo said in a trembling voice.
"President Ruan, can we have a good talk now?" Chen Dingzhong said with a smile, as if he was convinced by Ruan Mingbo.
"What do you want to talk about?" Ruan Mingbo looked at Chen Dingzhong and suppressed his anger.
…
In the dead of night, in Jiangzhou in the late winter, the cold wind is biting. Qiao Liang, who fell asleep, had a rare dream tonight that he and Chu Heng were fighting to the death. The two abandoned the intrigues, and instead signed a life and death certificate each, directly in the A life-and-death fight in the ring... This dream was so realistic that when Qiao Liang found out that he was almost stabbed to death by Chu Heng with a knife, he woke up with a start and broke out in a cold sweat.
When he woke up, he found that the sky outside the window had become slightly brighter. Qiao Liang realized that he had just had a nightmare. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Qiao Liang smiled bitterly. It had been a long time since he had such a dream. His hatred for Chu Heng was It was deeply rooted in his bones, but as his position got higher and higher, he was no longer so far away from Chu Heng. Qiao Liang became more and more confident in his revenge. He rarely had nightmares related to Chu Heng anymore. .
After checking the time, it was almost 6 o'clock. Qiao Liang simply stopped sleeping, got up for a morning run, and then took a quick shower.
In the morning, Qiao Liang came to the office, and after a while, Lu Qian called.
When Qiao Liang saw Lu Qian calling early in the morning, he picked up the phone and asked, "Lu Qian, what's the matter?"
"Have you forgotten what you told me last night?" Lu Qian rolled her eyes, "The one you asked me to check is named Ruan Mingbo. You said he was missing, right? He has gone home, there is nothing at all Regarding the disappearance, I asked you whether you thought I was not busy enough and deliberately found things for me to do..."
The reason why Lu Qian complained to Qiao Liang was that under normal circumstances, a case would only be accepted and filed if the case was missing for more than 24 hours. But last night, Qiao Liang directly greeted Lu Qian, and Lu Qian obviously used her hands directly because of Qiao Liang. The authority sent someone to investigate, but within two or three hours, Ruan Mingbo had already gone home.
As soon as Lu Qian came over in the morning and heard the report, she called Qiao Liang.
When Qiao Liang heard that Ruan Mingbo had gone home, he was surprised and said, "You said Ruan Mingbo has gone home, are you right?"
"Tsk, I can still be wrong. If you don't believe me, call his family and ask." Lu Qian said angrily, "Next time something like this happens, you should find out first before calling me. Our human resources are precious, okay, I won’t talk to you anymore, I have a morning meeting that will start soon.”
"Hello, Lu..." Qiao Liang wanted to ask something more, but Lu Qian had already hung up the phone.
Qiao Liang was stunned with his cell phone. Something was wrong. If Ruan Mingbo came home, whether it was Ruan Mingbo or his wife, they would have to communicate with him. Why is there no movement at all? Or maybe they have already given it to Sun. Yong called?
Qiao Liang thought to himself and called Sun Yong over.
"Brother Qiao, are you looking for me?" Sun Yong walked into the office, closed the door and asked.
"Ruan Mingbo has gone home. Have the couple called you?" Qiao Liang asked Sun Yong directly.
"No." Sun Yong shook his head subconsciously, exactly the same as Qiao Liang's reaction just now, "Ruan Mingbo went home? Is that right?"
"The call Director Lu of the Municipal Bureau just made to me, how could it be possible that there was a mistake?" Qiao Liang said.
"This is strange. If Ruan Mingbo really goes home, they should notify us." Sun Yong frowned and took out his mobile phone after speaking, "I'll call Ruan Mingbo's wife and ask."
Sun Yong left Hong Yan's number yesterday and dialed the other party's number directly.
When the call was connected, Sun Yong asked, "Ms. Hong, your husband Ruan Mingbo has gone home?"
"Ah...yes." Hong Yan stuttered. Before Sun Yong could continue to ask, Hong Yan took the initiative to explain, "Director Sun, it's like this. Our family Mingbo came back very late last night. I I didn't call you and Secretary Qiao because I was afraid of disturbing your rest. No, I forgot about it when I got up in the morning."
Hearing Hong Yan's explanation, Sun Yong frowned slightly, "Then where did Ruan Mingbo go when he disappeared for a few hours yesterday?"
"Director Sun, there may be a misunderstanding here. Our Mingbo is not missing. He went to play with his friends. We made a mistake yesterday." Hong Yan said with a smile.
"Make a mistake?" Sun Yong's eyes darkened. Just one night later, Hong Yan's attitude made a 180-degree turn. Something was obviously wrong. Sun Yong immediately said, "Ms. Hong, are you here now?" Hey, is it convenient for us to meet and talk now?"
"This...that's not necessary." Hong Yan's voice was a little unnatural, "Director Sun, our Mingbo has gone to your disciplinary department now, and he will explain the situation to you."
"Really?" Sun Yong frowned. Ruan Mingbo came to the disciplinary department?
Sun Yong was muttering in his heart when there was a knock on the door. Qiao Liang called in. Wang Xiaocai, the office clerk responsible for serving Qiao Liang, came in and reported, "Secretary Qiao, there is a person named Ruan Mingbo who said... I know you, and I’ll see you if I have anything to do.”
Hearing this, Qiao Liang looked at each other and Sun Yong, nodded and said, "Invite him in."
Sun Yong watched Wang Xiaocai walk out and didn't bother talking to Hong Yan on the phone. He hung up the phone and said to Qiao Liang, "Things are a little abnormal."
"Well, don't leave yet. Let's talk to this Ruan Mingbo together." Qiao Liang said to Sun Yong.
The two walked to the sofa and sat down. After a while, Ruan Mingbo walked in the door under the leadership of Wang Xiaocai. The eyes of Qiao Liang and Sun Yong also fell on Ruan Mingbo.
"Xiao Wang, you go and do your work first." Qiao Liang waved to Wang Xiaocai.
After Qiao Liang finished speaking, he asked Ruan Mingbo to sit down and looked at Ruan Mingbo carefully, "Mr. Ruan, why do you have time to come here so early?"
"Secretary Qiao, I'm here to admit my mistake to you." Ruan Mingbo lowered his head and said.
"Admit a mistake?" Qiao Liang looked at Ruan Mingbo doubtfully, "What mistake?"
"Secretary Qiao, it's like this. Because of work reasons, I had resentment against Chairman Chen Dingzhong of Dongjiang Company, so I framed him and made up some unfounded things to slander him. I'm here to admit my mistake. We are also willing to bear the corresponding legal consequences for this." Ruan Mingbo said.
Before Qiao Liang said anything, Sun Yong had already stood up and stared at Ruan Mingbo, "Mr. Ruan, are you kidding us?"
"Sun Yong, please sit down first." Qiao Liang looked at Ruan Mingbo with a sullen face, "Mr. Ruan, let's not talk about whether you have made false accusations or slanders. I want to ask you now. You left your bank yesterday afternoon. Where have you been until last night?"
"I went to my friend's house to play mahjong." Ruan Mingbo replied.
"Playing mahjong? Are you playing mahjong and can't even hear the incoming calls on your mobile phone? Yesterday, our director Sun called you many times, including your wife's. You didn't answer any of them. What a waste of time. It's hard to explain that it's playing mahjong." Qiao Liang stared at Ruan Mingbo with burning eyes.
"Secretary Qiao, it's like this. We friends have a rule when playing mahjong. We have to mute our mobile phones to avoid being disturbed, so I didn't really hear the phone ring at that time." Ruan Mingbo said with a smile.
"You went out to play mahjong during work hours, and then you turned your phone on silent?" Qiao Liang looked at Ruan Mingbo with a smile, "Mr. Ruan, I'm afraid you're not telling the truth."
"Secretary Qiao, what I said is true." Ruan Mingbo said quickly.
Qiao Liang's expression was stern, Ruan Mingbo was obviously lying, and the other party's change was obviously related to his disappearance for most of yesterday.
Qiao Liang stared at Ruan Mingbo, "Mr. Ruan, is there someone threatening you?"
"Secretary Qiao, look at what you said, how could anyone threaten me?" Ruan Mingbo denied.
"Mr. Ruan, you'd better think clearly before answering. You lied to us, you..." Sun Yong pointed at Ruan Mingbo with an angry look on his face. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang said to Ruan Mingbo, "Mr. Ruan, we understand the situation you mentioned. You can go back first."
After hearing what Qiao Liang said, Ruan Mingbo stood up, looked at Qiao Liang suspiciously, thought for a while, and emphasized, "Secretary Qiao, the issues related to Chen Dingzhong and Guan Zhitao that I reported before were all fabricated by me. I hope you don't take it seriously. If I need to bear any legal responsibility, I am willing to bear the consequences."
"Yes, I understand." Qiao Liang said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mingbo looked at Qiao Liang again, wanting to say something more, but finally swallowed his words and left in a hurry.
Watching Ruan Mingbo leave, Sun Yong said angrily, "This Ruan Mingbo is obviously lying."
"He is determined to lie, so it's useless for us to ask him. We might as well investigate it ourselves." Qiao Liang looked at Sun Yong, "You go contact the people at the police station and ask them to assist us in the investigation to see if Ruan Mingbo disappeared yesterday. Where did he go during that period of time?"
"Okay." Sun Yong nodded.
"We can't give up on the line between Dongjiang Company and Chen Dingzhong. We must continue to investigate, especially the clues Ruan Mingbo reflected in his previous report letter. Those clues are most likely to be true. We must follow the clues and investigate further." Qiao Liang said again.
"Yes." Sun Yong nodded slightly, "Qiao Liang, I'll go and get busy first."
"Go ahead, if the city bureau needs me to coordinate, you can tell me in time." Qiao Liang said.
Watching Sun Yong leave, Qiao Liang frowned slightly. Ruan Mingbo suddenly changed his tone. Qiao Liang guessed that Ruan Mingbo might have been threatened. Therefore, it was useless to blindly question Ruan Mingbo in this situation. This was what Qiao Liang had just said. Reasons for stopping Sun Yong.
After thinking about Ruan Mingbo for a while, Qiao Liang didn't think much more and quickly dealt with the morning's affairs. He would go to the city mental hospital later to arrange Zhang Mei's transfer.
On the other end, after Ruan Mingbo came out of the city compound, he used another mobile phone to dial a number. When the call was connected, Ruan Mingbo said, "Chen Dingzhong, I have done what you said. You'd better keep your promise and don't touch it." My daughter, otherwise I will fight to the death with you."
