"Miss Peng, I think I should have warned you not to wander around at will to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, right?"
Shen Zui spoke to Peng Shuhui word by word with an unusually gloomy face, his words full of anger.
Ye Xiufeng on the side was about to say something, but Gao Zhanlong quickly stopped him and shook his head calmly.
Faced with Shen Zui's almost ferocious questioning, Peng Shuhui not only did not flinch at all, but put on an unafraid look and replied confidently: "Director Shen, please don't forget that I am not only the "Ta Kung Pao" 》reporter, who is also the special commissioner of this inspection team, I will obey Commander Dong’s orders. As for your rules, Director Shen, I’m sorry, I’m afraid they are not so lenient!”
"you!"
Peng Shuhui's words immediately made Shenzui extremely angry, but she couldn't utter a word of rebuttal for a long time.
In the end, Li Qiang couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and tried to smooth things over, "Miss Peng, I think you may have misunderstood. Director Shen's move was also for your safety, and it was completely out of good intentions! As for what you just proposed My question is, is it possible that it needs to go through a period of transformation because it has just been received?"
"I wonder if the officers have noticed another detail. The people on the roster were detained almost three months ago, but the rumors in the mountain city started half a month ago. Isn't this suspicious? ?"
As soon as these words came out, even Li Qiang unconsciously cast doubtful eyes on Shenzui.
And perhaps because of a guilty conscience, this time, Shenzui's attitude was far less tough than before, and he even stuttered a bit in reply: "This... I'm not saying you all should not look at me, I am also with you. I don’t know what’s going on. Otherwise... or this way, we’ll go find Director Zhou and ask him clearly tomorrow morning. How about that?”
Before he finished speaking, a weak but majestic voice rang out, "No! It's about the reputation of the party and the country. It's better to call Director Zhou over and make it clear in person."
It can be said that Dong Jianchang's sudden appearance took everyone by surprise.
Shen Zui was even more surprised and delighted. He took the initiative to help him sit down on the main seat and asked with concern: "Mr. Dong, why are you up?"
"Thanks to the chairman's trust and entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility, I can't just lie down and go back! Go and call someone here, I can still hold on."
"...Okay, I'll call you right away."
There was not much time, so Zhou Yanghao hurriedly followed Shen Zui in.
"Mr. Dong, your illness is not cured yet, why are you..."
However, before Zhou Yanghao could finish his words, Dong Jianchang waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I know my health well. I believe Director Shen told you on the way here why he called you here so late? So compared to this, I'd rather hear your explanation."
"This..." Zhou Yanghao hesitated for a long time before he replied with difficulty, "Mr. Dong, here, I can use this official hat on my head to assure you that this roster is absolutely true and there is absolutely no trace of it. A little bit of adulteration. As for Miss Peng’s two questions, please allow me to explain them to you slowly."
Dong Jianchang didn't say anything after hearing this, but silently made a "please" gesture.
Only then did Zhou Yanghao straighten up, turned to look at Peng Shuhui, and said slowly: "Miss Peng, for the sake of Chief Dong, I won't hold you accountable for disrupting the order of the palace and breaking in at will.
This time, if there is another time..."
"Hmph! If you don't do anything bad, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If you don't have ghosts in your heart, why do you restrict us from going out?"
"Miss Peng, when did I restrict you from going out? I just asked you to tell me before going out to avoid any accidents, that's all. After all, this is a military important area. To tell you the truth, just a few days ago,
We just caught a spy who disguised himself and sneaked in. If the guards mistake you for a spy, it's not a joke, these bullets don't have eyesight!"
"So, instead of complaining to you, I should thank you?"
"I can't take it seriously. Since you guys have come to my territory, it's only right that I take responsibility for your safety."
"Okay! Since it's all a misunderstanding, let's get over it. Director Zhou, please continue."
"Yes! Miss Peng, although I don't know how you got this information, I admit that these information are indeed true. However, according to regulations, newly detained persons must undergo half a year of inspection and transformation before they can be sent out.
They go to work in factories in the town. Not only that, the company will also pay them according to their work, and help them send their wages home to subsidize their families. I wonder if Ms. Peng is satisfied with this reply?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding. Peng Shuhui didn't seem surprised, but continued to ask calmly: "Okay, even if you make sense, how do you explain the second question?"
However, this time, Zhou Yanghao did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Ye Xiufeng secretly, and immediately confused him, "Director Zhou, Miss Peng is asking you, what do you think I do?
"
Zhou Yanghao shrugged, "Since Director Ye has said so, then..."
However, before he could finish his words, Ye Xiufeng suddenly became anxious, "Wait a minute, why did you even say that to me? Please explain it clearly to me. What does this have to do with me?"
But Zhou Yanghao didn't seem to want to answer his question at all, and said to Peng Shuhui: "Miss Peng, let me tell you this, there is absolutely no fraud in this roster. As for why it was basically registered three months ago.
For those who are registered, we have to start with another provision here."
"Oh? Then I dare to ask Director Zhou, what kind of regulations are they?"
"The rule is that the newly sent personnel here must be sent to the 'Cat Cave' to verify their crimes. Only those who are guilty of the crime or die-hards who refuse to cooperate will be sent here.
Come and formally take him into custody and register him."
"So, Director Zhou admitted to hiding the truth from us?"
"No, no, you can't say that. Miss Peng, what you wrote on the schedule was very clear and clear. What you want to check is the roster of our detainees, and those in the cat cave, strictly speaking,
He’s not considered a detainee, so what you’re doing here can’t be considered a concealment, right?”
Hearing this, Peng Shuhui clearly knew that Zhou Yanghao was playing a word game with her, but the embarrassing thing was that she couldn't find any reason to refute, so she had no choice but to snort and turn her head to the side.
"Well, since it's a misunderstanding, it's okay to let it go. However, Director Zhou, in order to avoid any other misunderstandings, I have no choice but to make you stay here for one night. Tomorrow morning, we will When you go to the 'Cat Cave', you will know at a glance whether there is a misunderstanding. What do you think?"
"I am willing to obey Commander Dong's arrangements."
"Okay! Adjutant Liu!"
"have!"
"It's up to you to stay at the entrance of the building tonight. No one is allowed in or out without my permission!"
"yes!"
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's all go back to our rooms and have a good rest. The truth will naturally come out early tomorrow morning."
Everyone was still very convinced of Dong Jianchang, so they went back to their rooms without saying anything else.
As soon as he returned to the room, Ye Xiufeng turned to Gao Zhanlong and said, "Xiao Gao, what's wrong with you today? That guy named Shen scolded me for being like that. It's okay if you don't help. Why are you still stopping me? What a great opportunity, but you have delayed it like this. Who do you think you are...?"
Gao Zhanlong didn't want to but replied with a solemn face: "Ye Chu, haven't you seen it yet?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Xiufeng couldn't help but look stern, "What do you see?"
"Rong Beizhi said something that shouldn't be said. This trip to Xifeng may be a huge trap."
"A trap?" Even Ye Xiufeng's face turned serious unconsciously at this moment, "Who set the trap, the military commander? Or... the chairman of the committee?"
"neither."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Xiufeng was stunned, "Who could that be..."
However, he suddenly realized what he was saying, and Gao Zhanlong slowly said: "Everything started because of rumors, and the rumors seemed to be directed at the military commander, but in fact they were our central commander. Logically speaking, we should unanimously disclose this matter to the outside world and cover it up. But judging from the various actions you took along the way, I boldly guessed that someone must have said something to you before setting off, right? "
Hearing this, Ye Xiufeng fell into silence. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Go on."
"To put it simply, there are only two final results of this matter. Either no problem is found and everyone is happy, or everything is exposed to the world. If it is the former, it is easy to say, but if it is the latter, someone has to take the blame. , that’s why I came up with such a poisonous plan of Li Daitaojiang..."
"Grandma!" Before Gao Zhanlong could finish his words, Ye Xiufeng slammed the table and cursed: "How long has this bastard named Xu been plotting against his own people! The Chen brothers are also blind. You actually trust such a villain so much. If this continues, sooner or later the Central Government will be destroyed in the hands of such a bastard!"
"Ye Chu, calm down. The matter has come to this. No matter how much you scold me, it will not help. The most urgent thing is to find a way to break this deadlock before we discuss other matters."
"That's a very good thing to say, but right now my heart is in a state of confusion. It's really..."
"Ye Chu, there is a way to humble one's position, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"It's already this time, what else should be said that shouldn't be said? Say it!"
"I think that if we want to resolve this matter properly, we have to humiliate Ye Chu and cooperate with Director Shen on the other side, so that we can escape unscathed."
"What did you say?" As soon as Gao Zhanlong said his words, Ye Xiufeng's eyes suddenly widened, "You want me to beg him? You can think of it! If I really go to beg him, where will my face be? Put it aside?"
Gao Zhanlong seemed to have expected Ye Xiufeng's reaction, and continued to say unhurriedly: "Ye Chu, let me say something that shouldn't be said. Now that things are going on, whether face is more important or reputation and career is more important, I'm afraid it's... "Ye Chu, your thoughts have passed away. I hope you will think again."
Hearing this, Ye Xiufeng stopped talking and just sat there silently without saying a word. However, the expression on his face was uncertain for a while. After a long time, he finally seemed to have made up his mind. He turned to look at Gao Zhanlong and said, "Zhanlong, if we two can escape safely this time, do you have any plans?"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Zhanlong's eyes immediately flashed with fierceness, but he quickly recovered and replied with a normal expression: "I won't offend anyone if they don't offend me. If someone offends me, I will repay you tenfold!" "
"Well said! From now on, you and I will treat each other as brothers, how about that?"
Gao Zhanlong obviously did not expect this, and immediately replied with some sincerity: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears! I am afraid of the humble position."
Ye Xiufeng waved his hand, "In front of others, you and I will continue to do everything as usual, but in private, we will no longer be humble and humble. How old are you, stupid brother? I'll call you a wise brother..."
However, before Ye Xiufeng could finish his words, Gao Zhanlong simply knelt down and said, "Brother, please bow to me."
Upon seeing this, Ye Xiufeng hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, with a smile on his face, "Okay, from now on, you and I are brothers. We will be prosperous and suffer together. We will be rich and powerful together, and we will advance and retreat together forever." Don’t be disrespectful!”
After saying that, he walked out of the room without any hesitation and knocked gently on the door opposite Zui Zui.
But when Shen Zui opened the door, he didn't seem to be surprised by Ye Xiufeng's arrival. His tone was much more polite than before, and he invited him in with a smile on his face...
At the same time, Li Qiang, who had also not rested yet, was holding a glass cup and leaning against the door, listening carefully to what was going on outside. It was not until two almost imperceptible closing sounds sounded that he breathed a sigh of relief. .
"It seems that Ye Xiufeng is not that stupid yet. He finally listened to Gao's advice. It's really rare!"
Haitang brought a cup of freshly brewed hot tea and said: "After all, he was the top leader of the Party Affairs Investigation Section. If he can't bear this grievance, then he really deserves to be in bad luck."
Li Qiang didn't want to but smiled and said meaningfully: "You can't say that. How do you know that all the previous things were not deliberately pretended by the man named Ye?"
"Pretending? Really or fake?"
"Who knows!" Li Qiang shrugged, "Didn't you see that Chief Dong was pretending to be like that two days ago?"
