Ye Xinyi said: "Fang Xiaoya did this because she wanted to be with you?"
"What do you think?" Qiao Liang asked.
"I..." Ye Xinyi hesitated, "I don't know."
"I know." Qiao Liang said simply.
"What do you know?" Ye Xinyi looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang said slowly: "I know Xiaoya did this, regardless of whether she had other thoughts, but one thing is for sure."
"Which point?" Ye Xinyi asked.
"She wanted to free me from my unhappy marriage and make me happy."
Ye Xinyi nodded and was curious, how unsatisfactory this guy's marriage was, and how much pain it made him feel, so much so that Fang Xiaoya had to spend a huge sum of money to save him?
But there is no point in being curious, Ye Xinyi knows that Qiao Liang will not tell her.
Ye Xinyi thought for a moment: "Fang Xiaoya is really nice to you. I think you two are a good match."
Qiao Liang was confused for a while. Fang Xiaoya really had nothing to say to her, but why couldn't she always feel that way about Fang Xiaoya? She used to shrink back because of her low self-esteem, but what about now? She still has low self-esteem?
Or is it because of this shameful marriage with Zhang Mei that I have a deep fear and avoidance of emotions, and I am unwilling to touch that sacred and sensitive word? Or is it because of other factors?
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang's heart palpitated and she felt that her emotional world was now numb and full of confusion.
It seems that in this numbness and confusion, I would rather anesthetize myself in physiological release and seek short-term joy and comfort in release.
This seemed despicable and depraved, but it seemed that I had no choice now.
Qiao Liang sighed secretly, subconsciously took out the cigarette, looked at Ye Xinyi, and then put it back in his pocket.
"Just smoke it, it'll be okay." Ye Xinyi said.
Qiao Liang took out the cigarette again, lit one, took two deep puffs, looked at Ye Xinyi, remained silent for a moment and said, "Actually, the thing I don't want to talk about the most right now is feelings."
Ye Xinyi nodded, seeming to understand what Qiao Liang said. It seemed that he was really deeply hurt by his marriage to Zhang Mei, and he had an incomparable fear of marriage and love, so he said this.
"But you're not like that now, are you?" Qiao Liang said.
Ye Xinyi frowned: "Why do you say that?"
"Because you always have that little Bei in your heart."
Ye Xinyi couldn't help but her heart beat faster, and there was an unspeakable feeling in her heart. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing Ye Xinyi like this, Qiao Liang knew that the unknown Xiaobei held a very important position in Ye Xinyi's heart, and he was a little jealous. He didn't know what kind of person this Xiaobei was. He could make Ye Xinyi so beautiful.
The great beauty is so concerned.
Then Qiao Liang felt that the topic he was talking about was a bit boring, so he put out his cigarette and picked up the cup: "No more talking, let's drink and eat."
Then the two of them had sex and had dinner. Qiao Liang saw that it was getting late and stood up to leave.
Walking to the door, Qiao Liang looked at Ye Xinyi: "Are you feeling better now?"
Ye Xinyi nodded: "I feel much better after talking to you so much. I really want to thank you."
"That's good. I wish you a good mood every day and let's go." Qiao Liang waved her hand and left.
After Qiao Liang left, Ye Xinyi sat on the sofa, recalling the conversation with Qiao Liang tonight, and fell into deep thought...
At this time, in the suburbs, in a single room of a private club by the river, Tang Shusen and Chu Heng were drinking tea together under dim light.
What happened to Ning Hailong during the day surprised both Tang Shusen and Chu Heng. Their surprise was not only that Ning Hailong was raped, but more importantly, they knew nothing about it beforehand.
Chu Heng looked at Tang Shusen worriedly: "Secretary Tang, there was no warning, why did something happen to Ning Hailong suddenly?"
Tang Shusen frowned: "I'm afraid it's not without warning, it's just that we didn't notice the warning. Zhao Xiaolan told me in the afternoon that she was the one who led the people to take two measures against Ning Hailong, and before she went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Zheng Shidong
She never told her that the person she wanted to deal with was Ning Hailong."
"Why is this happening? Could it be that Zheng Shidong doesn't trust Zhao Xiaolan?" Chu Heng asked puzzled.
Tang Shusen shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. Cadres at the Lianggui Division level must obtain An Zhe's permission. I guess this confidentiality should be requested by An Zhe. Since An Zhe has this request, Zheng Shidong naturally does not need to take any risks."
"Why did Secretary An want to deal with Ning Hailong?" Chu Heng said.
Tang Shusen was silent for a moment: "On the surface, it looks like An Zhe secretly visited Shizhong District to crack down, and discovered Ning Hailong's fraud, and the bathing center was taken away, which implicated Ning Hailong. But after a closer analysis, I'm afraid An Zhe will do it.
Ning Hailong may have other intentions..."
"What's the intention?" Chu Heng didn't react for a moment.
Tang Shusen raised his head and looked at Chu Heng and said slowly: "I think Anzhe did this for two purposes. First, he needed to catch a model to rectify the work style of the city's cadres, and Ning Hailong and his son just hit the muzzle of the gun.
; Second, will he know that Ning Hailong was promoted by me..."
Chu Heng shuddered: "Secretary Tang, do you mean that Secretary An did this with a purpose against you?"
Tang Shusen frowned again: "I'm afraid it's not just for me."
"Then there's more..." Chu Heng looked at Tang Shusen.
Tang Shusen took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Old Chu, haven't you noticed that since An Zhe came to Jiangzhou and since the new municipal party committee started to operate, the situation within the Standing Committee has been very subtle?"
"Subtle..." Chu Heng murmured, "Could it be that Secretary An noticed you and me..."
"It's not just me and you." Tang Shusen interrupted Chu Heng, "The relationship between you and me for many years is not a secret among the top officials in Jiangzhou. What I am thinking now is that An Zhe seems to have noticed that I, you,
Luo Fei, and even Qin Chuan, knows that we are very united within the Standing Committee. Therefore, when he appointed Ning Hailong this time, it was ostensibly to rectify his style and catch examples, but in fact it had a more unpredictable purpose."
"Secretary Tang, you mean that Secretary An is doing this with the vague intention of targeting Mayor Luo?"
Tang Shusen pondered for a moment: "This case happened to be handled by Zhao Xiaolan. I think it's a bit strange. Could it be that it was arranged this way on purpose? An Zhe has been conducting covert and covert investigations during this period. Maybe he already knows that Zhao Xiaolan and I have a good relationship.
"
"That's not necessarily true, is it?"
"Don't forget, An Zhe has Qiao Liang beside him. This guy knows a lot of things." Tang Shusen reminded Chu Heng.
Chu Heng pondered.
Tang Shusen continued: "Moreover, even if An Zhe doesn't know the relationship between Zhao Xiaolan and me, he must know the old relationship between me and Luo Fei, and Zhao Xiaolan is Luo Fei's wife. Under this premise, Ning Hailong's case
Let Zhao Xiaolan do it, it makes a lot of sense."
Chu Heng nodded: "It makes sense. So, is this a trap used by An Zhe to use Ning Hailong's case to set you and Mayor Luo up?"
"It's not just me and Luo Fei." Tang Shusen was a little unhappy.
Chu Heng nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, we are all a community of interests, it's us, us."
