"Secretary Xu, I'll go back first." Xue Yuan stood up and said.
"Well, you can go back and call me anytime you think about it. My door is always open for you." Xu Honggang smiled and patted Xue Yuan's shoulder and said kindly.
After Xu Honggang finished speaking, he personally sent Xue Yuan to the door, acting like a courteous corporal.
Watching Xue Yuan leave, Xu Honggang squinted his eyes and stared at Xue Yuan's back. As long as Xue Yuan was ambitious, he believed that Xue Yuan would be tempted. The most difficult thing for people to control is their inner greed.
Xue Yuan's reaction just now gave Xu Honggang a little more confidence. The other party said that he wanted to go back and think about it. This means that Xue Yuan most likely knows some of Chu Heng's secrets. Otherwise, what would he need to consider?
Maybe Xue Yuan might actually become the key variable between him and Chu Heng. Xu Honggang thought silently, and soon began to think about the next step. You can't put all your eggs in one basket. This is Xu Honggang's philosophy of doing things. After coming down, he had to go to Lu Ming and try to get Luming to side with him.
Let’s ask Luming out for a drink tonight. Xu Honggang thought to himself.
Municipal Procuratorate Case Handling Base.
Qiao Liang finally met his brother-in-law Zhou Juntao. The unshaven Zhou Juntao looked very haggard. He was not treated as well as Qiao Liang when he was locked up. In addition, he had acted according to Sun Guifa's suggestion before, and he was cheating without conscience. My uncle, Qiao Liang, was not released after the incident, and Sun Guifa also seemed to disappear and never appeared again. Zhou Juntao also reacted belatedly in the past few days, feeling that he might have been deceived and suffered a lot. He was so tormented that as soon as he saw Qiao Liang, a big man burst into tears.
"Brother, I...I can't help you." Zhou Juntao cried to Qiao Liang with tears and snot flowing down his nose.
Seeing Zhou Juntao's appearance, Qiao Liang originally wanted to accuse Zhou Juntao a few words, but now he couldn't bear to say it out loud. He smiled and consoled him, "Juntao, what are you doing? Why are you crying for a grown man?"
"Brother, I'm stupid, I may have been deceived." Zhou Juntao cried.
"When did you meet that Sun Guifa?" Qiao Liang asked in a deep voice.
"Brother Sun and I have known each other for almost a year. He..."
When Qiao Liang heard that Zhou Juntao was still calling Sun Guifa 'Brother Sun', he angrily interrupted him, "You still call him Brother Sun. I think you are helping count the money after being sold."
"Brother, I..." Zhou Juntao faltered, not knowing what to say.
"Okay, go ahead and tell me the details." Qiao Liang sighed lightly. After all, he was his brother-in-law, so Qiao Liang couldn't scold him too much.
After Zhou Juntao heard this, he continued.
Qiao Liang listened carefully to what the other party said. When he heard that Zhou Juntao owed millions because of his gambling addiction, Qiao Liang almost vomited blood. Zhou Juntao was in such deep trouble! At the same time, Qiao Liang hated Chu Heng even more. It makes my teeth itch. My brother-in-law, Zhou Juntao, was such an honest person in the past. Within a year of meeting Sun Guifa, he started going to various nightclubs and got addicted to gambling. Damn, Chu Heng was deliberately planning this. The relatives around him took action, and Chu Heng's scheming was really terrible. The other party had obviously set up a trap a long time ago. If Chu Heng continued to bury his brother-in-law Zhou Juntao as a chess piece and let Zhou Juntao fall deeper and deeper, the consequences would be unimaginable. .
After listening to Zhou Juntao explain the whole story in detail, Qiao Liang finally understood. No wonder Zhou Juntao repeatedly mentioned to him that he wanted to come to Songbei to use his connections to do some small business. The reason for co-writing was because he owed so much money from gambling.
Although he sternly rejected the other party, Zhou Juntao was still led by Sun Guifa to Songbei, and step by step he fell into the trap set by the other party.
After Zhou Juntao finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Liang and said, "Brother, that Sun Guifa asked me to lie to the investigators, saying that I was instructed by you to acquire the company's shares and hold the shares on your behalf. It didn't have any impact on you, right?"
"What do you think?" Qiao Liang looked at this stupid brother-in-law angrily, "I was brought in with you and imprisoned for a few days, and was almost dismissed. Do you think the impact was big?"
"Ah?" Zhou Juntao was stunned for a moment. He had no idea what was going on these days. He thought he would be released if he followed Sun Guifa's instructions. However, not only was he not released, he was also taken to another place.
Locked up, except for three meals provided, no one paid attention to him. Zhou Juntao was almost isolated from the world, and that Sun Guifa never appeared again. This is why Zhou Juntao began to feel that something was wrong.
After a brief absence, Zhou Juntao looked at Qiao Liang anxiously, "Brother, what's going on now? You...you haven't been dismissed, right?"
"If I were dismissed, I wouldn't be able to stand here and listen to you talk about this." Qiao Liang looked at Zhou Juntao with a bit of hatred, "Juntao, I'm not talking about you. Although you were a bit honest and dull before,
But you are not stupid. Do you think there will be a good thing like pie in the sky? That Sun Guifa approaches you and treats you so well, so you are not alert at all? "
"I..." Zhou Juntao lowered his head, not knowing how to face Qiao Liang's questioning. He knew that he had indeed tricked Qiao Liang this time.
"County Magistrate Qiao, you can't blame your brother-in-law entirely. After all, the other party has carefully designed a trap, and anyone else might fall into it." Ling Hongwei said to Zhou Juntao.
"Lao Ling, I need to trouble you to pay more attention to my brother-in-law's case later." Qiao Liang said, glanced at the investigators on the side, and said, "Inspector Wang has promised me to re-investigate the case. When the time comes,
Please help me keep an eye on it."
"Don't worry, County Magistrate Qiao, I will always pay attention to the progress of the case." Ling Hongwei nodded.
"Juntao, please stay well for now. I will urge them to investigate as soon as possible. I believe you will be able to come out soon." Qiao Liang said to Zhou Juntao again.
"Brother, then you have to help me find more connections. I can't stay in there for another day. It's almost like a year." Zhou Juntao said anxiously when he saw Qiao Liang was leaving.
"I think you should be locked up in there for a few more days, otherwise the lesson won't be profound enough." Qiao Liang snorted, "Let's see if you dare to trust others and act recklessly in the future."
"Brother, the lesson I learned this time is profound enough." Zhou Juntao said bitterly.
"I am now asking people to investigate Sun Guifa. The sooner we find him, the more likely you are to be released as soon as possible," Qiao Liang said.
Zhou Juntao nodded after hearing this. He could only count on Qiao Liang to help him now. Fortunately, meeting Qiao Liang today made him feel at ease.
"Okay, I'm leaving first. I'll ask someone to help make arrangements later. Xiaohui wants to come in and see you, but she's been very anxious these days." Qiao Liang said.
"I'm sorry for her." Zhou Juntao said with shame.
Qiao Liang curled his lips and said nothing. There is no point in saying this now.
Coming out of the case handling base, Qiao Liang said to Ling Hongwei, "Old Ling, although Inspector Wang said that my brother-in-law's case will be re-investigated, I'm afraid that he will perfunctory me. Please help me keep an eye on it and contact me in time if there is any situation." ."
"County Magistrate Qiao, don't worry, I will focus on your brother-in-law's case. Anyway, I have nothing to do now." Ling Hongwei said with a smile.
"Lao Ling, while you can still be lazy now, you can rest for a few more days. You won't have the chance to rest as much as you want later. You will definitely be busy in the future, believe me." Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Like you Such talents cannot just sit idle, otherwise it will be too much of a waste, and the organization will definitely reuse you."
Hearing Qiao Liang mention this again, Ling Hongwei was thoughtful. Qiao Liang's words seemed to reveal a lot of confidence. Thinking of what the other party said to him in the car when he came over, Ling Hongwei thought about Qiao Liang. Does Liang really have any special relationship with the new Secretary Wu?
Ling Hongwei was thinking secretly, hoping that Qiao Liang would reveal some more information. However, Qiao Liang was trying to hide it again. He smiled and patted Ling Hongwei on the shoulder, "Old Ling, let's go. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go first." Go back to the city, I'll take you back to your work, and then I'll go to the city compound."
Hearing that Qiao Liang was going to the city compound, Ling Hongwei subconsciously asked, "Is County Magistrate Qiao going to report to Mayor Guo?"
"No, I'm going to see Secretary Wu." Qiao Liang said.
"Looking for Secretary Wu?" Ling Hongwei looked at Qiao Liang, then thought about his guess just now, and his expression suddenly brightened. If he guessed it right, then he might really be able to regain his important position through Qiao Liang.
Ling Hongwei thought to himself and looked at Qiao Liang several times. Finally he couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked, "County Chief Qiao, are you familiar with Secretary Wu?"
"It's okay." Qiao Liang smiled and had no intention of showing off his relationship with Wu Huiwen in front of others.
Seeing that Qiao Liang didn't want to say more, Ling Hongwei became more and more curious, but he didn't want to ask more questions to avoid appearing frivolous.
On the way back, the two chatted about daily life. After Qiao Liang sent Ling Hongwei back to his unit, he went directly to the city compound.
It was almost evening now, and Qiao Liang thought that Wu Huiwen might not be that busy anymore.
As soon as Qiao Liang went upstairs, Liu Bentao, who saw him in the corridor, pulled him into his office.
"Secretary-General Liu, what are you doing?" Qiao Liang stared at Liu Bentao and asked.
"County Magistrate Qiao, are you here to see Secretary Wu? Come on, sit here with me first. Secretary Wu is busy now. You have to wait if you go over now." Liu Bentao pulled Qiao Liang enthusiastically and saw Qiao Liang. Not wanting to sit down, Liu Bentao pulled Qiao Liang to sit down.
"Secretary-General Liu, the sun is out in the west today. You are so enthusiastic towards me, which makes me feel a little uneasy." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"County Magistrate Qiao, look at what you said, our relationship has always been good." Liu Bentao poured water for Qiao Liang with a smile.
Hearing this, Qiao Liang looked at the other party with a smile. He had taken the initiative to contact the other party every time before. If he hadn't been holding Liu Bentao's hand, Liu Bentao wouldn't have even come out. But now the other party said that the relationship between the two was better.
"Secretary-General Liu, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There is no need for us to go through all the twists and turns," Qiao Liang said.
