An Zhe pondered for a while: "Since we are jointly handling the case, I don't think we should be so clear-cut. Many are worse than one. To be safe, we might as well let the public security take charge of them all."
Hearing what An Zhe said, Zheng Shidong put down the phone, and Lu Qian took out her cell phone to make arrangements.
At this time, despite what An Zhe said, Zheng Shidong still felt that doing so was a bit unconventional, but since An Zhe had arranged it this way, he couldn't say anything more.
Thinking about it, it is very difficult to get things done these days when everything is stuck in the rules and procedures. It is still important to be flexible when necessary.
After Lu Qian finished setting up, An Zhe said: "From now on, everyone will stay here and wait for the people above to come."
Everyone nodded together, and Zheng Shidong asked: "How many people are here? Should we make arrangements for their accommodation here first?"
An Zhe said: "I don't know how many people are coming. Don't worry about accommodation. They have already made their own arrangements."
Lu Qian said: "I guess 14 people came."
"How do you know?" Lu Ming asked Lu Qian.
Lu Qian said: "When I came to the hotel just now, I went to the front desk to check if there was anyone suspicious staying here. I saw that people from Huangyuan had just booked 8 rooms. Combined with what Secretary An said about the people coming from above,
, I think they were the ones who booked it, and these 8 rooms include 2 single rooms and 6 standard rooms. Those with higher grades live in single rooms, and other staff live in standard rooms. Isn’t that all?”
An Zhe looked at Lu Qian with admiration. Zheng Shidong and Lu Ming nodded. With so many people coming up, it was obvious that they were jointly sent by the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Public Security Bureau to make a big move.
An Zhe then said to Lu Qian: "You are responsible for arranging the hotel's security work."
Lu Qian nodded: "Okay, let's use plainclothes."
Anzhe nodded.
Lu Qian then made arrangements.
Then Anzhe lit a cigarette and smoked silently.
Seeing that An Zhe was silent, Zheng Shidong and Lu Ming were both sitting there quietly. At this time, their hearts were churning fiercely. They both realized that a huge storm was about to set off in Jiangzhou...
After the Standing Committee meeting, Tang Shusen sat in the office for a while, thinking about what An Zhe said at the meeting, and felt a little settled.
At this time, Wu Tianbao came in to deliver the documents and said casually: "Secretary An went out just now."
"Where have you gone?" Tang Shusen asked.
"I don't know." Wu Tianbao shook his head.
Tang Shusen waved his hand, and then Wu Tianbao went out.
Tang Shusen lit up a cigarette and took two puffs. Suddenly his eyelids twitched. He remembered that An Zhe had answered the phone at the meeting. He hummed a few times and hung up without saying anything.
Thinking of this, Tang Shusen suddenly became suspicious. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed the landline of Zheng Shidong's office, but no one answered.
Tang Shusen frowned, thought again, and then called the landline number of Lu Ming's office, but no one answered.
Huh? What's going on? Why aren't you in the office? Where are Zheng Shidong and Lu Ming's people? Tang Shusen's frown deepened, and his heart, which had just been a little settled, became turbulent again.
During the commotion, the landline phone on the desk rang. Tang Shusen calmed down, picked up the phone, and said in a deep voice: "Well..."
"Secretary Tang, it's me." Chu Heng's voice came from the phone.
"Oh, Old Chu, what's the matter?" Tang Shusen said.
"Haha, it's okay. I just haven't talked to you for a few days. I want to treat you to a casual meal at noon and let's talk together." Chu Heng said with a smile.
Tang Shusen rolled his eyes and said, Damn, usually dinner is in the evening, at noon, what kind of meal did Chu Heng treat him to? Could it be that he noticed some abnormal signs and couldn't wait to test his words?
"Old Chu, it's too late to have lunch at lunch, I'll wait for tonight."
"It's a bit rushed at noon, but I have to go on a business trip to the county in the afternoon. This trip will take several days."
Tang Shusen thought for a while: "Okay, I'll take your car later."
"Okay." Chu Heng then told Tang Shusen where to eat.
Then Tang Shusen hung up the phone, smoked another cigarette, checked that the time was almost up, and then went downstairs. Chu Heng's car was parked downstairs, and Chu Heng was sitting in the car.
After getting in the car, the two went to a private room in a hotel, ordered a few dishes and a bottle of wine, and chatted while eating and drinking.
"Secretary Tang, I think you seem to have something on your mind lately?" Chu Heng looked at Tang Shusen tentatively.
Tang Shusen chuckled: "Old Chu, what do you think I have on my mind?"
"I don't know, it's just intuition." Chu Heng smiled.
"Old Chu, after following me for so many years, do you trust your intuition about me?" Tang Shusen said.
"Well..." Chu Heng shook his head, "I trust my intuition about others, but I'm not sure about Secretary Tang."
"Just not sure. Although you are the closest person in my circle, if I don't want to reveal my feelings, I'm afraid no one can see it, including you." Tang Shusen said.
Chu Heng nodded: "That's true. Compared with Secretary Tang's profundity, I still seem superficial."
"But after so many years of hard work, you have become very mature. Otherwise, how could you have reached your current position step by step."
"This is all the result of Secretary Tang's cultivation and support. Without Secretary Tang, I would never be where I am today." Chu Heng expressed his sincere gratitude.
Looking at Chu Heng sitting in front of him, at this moment, for some reason, Tang Shusen suddenly felt inexplicable sadness in his heart.
Tang Shusen then drank a glass of wine, then put down the glass and sighed softly: "Old Chu, you have followed me for many years. We have fought and fought together, and now, we have a good position, and we have achieved our own goals.
Part of the value of life is just that from now on..."
At this point, Tang Shusen stopped, feeling inexplicable sadness welling up in his heart.
"What's going to happen next?" Chu Heng looked at Tang Shusen.
"The future is unpredictable. Who knows what will happen in the future." Tang Shusen sighed again.
Chu Heng frowned: "Secretary Tang, I seem to think you are a little depressed."
Tang Shusen forced a smile: "In life, everyone has moments of pride and moments of depression. Maybe I am depressed because things have not gone well recently."
"Did Secretary Tang encounter something bad? Can you tell me and I will help you solve your problem." Chu Heng looked at Tang Shusen.
Tang Shusen shook his head: "You can't solve my worries... Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, come, drink, for the years we have walked together, for the friendship we have established over the years..."
At this time, Chu Heng had a vague feeling that something was going to happen to Tang Shusen and was afraid that it would involve him, so he wanted to get some information from him in the name of asking Tang Shusen to have dinner. However, seeing that he didn't want to talk more and didn't want to ask more questions, he could only
Drink with him.
At this time, neither Tang Shusen nor Chu Heng realized that this was the last drink in their lives.
