Hu Rong looked around cautiously. The streets were calm as usual. A few pedestrians passed by. The shops on the roadside had lowered their rolling shutters. The street lights were dim and the traffic was sparse.
"Where are you now?" Hu Rong asked in a low voice.
"Stop looking around and get in the car." A beeping sound came from the receiver, and the other party had hung up the phone.
Hu Rong took out the remote control key and pressed it. The Grand Cherokee on the roadside made a beeping sound. She walked over, opened the door and got into the car. When she was fastening her seat belt, a voice came from the back seat: "Don't look back, drive."
The car started slowly, turned on the left turn signal and drove into the fast lane. Hu Rong glanced at Liu Ziguang's slightly thin face in the rearview mirror and said softly: "You have lost weight. You must have suffered a lot during this time."
"It's nothing, just get used to it."
"Why are you coming back? Don't you know that you are the main criminal who is being chased online?" Hu Rong suddenly changed her tone and reprimanded sternly.
Liu Ziguang lay half-lying on the back seat without realizing it, and said in a lazy tone: "I was wronged. You know this very well. The first thing I came to see you after I came back was to ask you about the case."
How's it going? Did you explain it to me?"
Hu Rong felt secretly happy. This guy didn't seem to be so heartless. He came to me first, but her stern tone did not change at all: "Then the evidence of your kidnapping of officials from the central government is definitely conclusive, right?
This alone can nail you to death, huh."
Liu Ziguang said: "Don't worry about that. I've already taken care of it. Now let's talk about Chen Runing's murder case. Are there any suspects?"
"Yes, I suspect Mu Lianheng is the real culprit, but there is no evidence. This man is too cunning." Hu Rong was talking about the case, but she was thinking about the meaning of Liu Ziguang's words. Did he get it? Could it be that he had the central man?
Is Shangguan settled?
"It doesn't matter if there is no evidence. The important thing is to have an investigation direction. There is no case in the world that cannot be solved. It's just that people usually can't find the direction. By the way, has the surveillance at my house been lifted?" Liu Ziguang asked again.
"No, but it's not like just watching around the clock and sending everyone to take charge of this matter. The street security activists will pay attention to the situation of your home. Why, are you planning to go home?" Hu Rong turned around in surprise.
Liu Ziguang was calm and composed: "I ran out of home without saying a word on New Year's Day. It's been a month. I won't go home and see what I can do."
"You, you, you... you are cruel." Hu Rong muttered, turning the steering wheel and driving towards the first phase of Zhicheng.
"You don't have to accompany me anymore. Don't involve yourself in this." Liu Ziguang reminded me.
"No, I am a policeman. Only when I appear with you will my uncle and aunt feel at ease."
Hu Rong's words made Liu Ziguang's heart warm and he didn't know what to say.
Fifteen minutes later, the car drove near Zhicheng Community, stopped the car and turned off the engine. Hu Rong looked at her watch and said, "It's half past eight now. We'll go down in half an hour. At that time, there will be the least amount of people in the community."
Half an hour, whether it was long or short, Hu Rong had so many things in her mind that she didn’t even know where to start. She was silent for a while before saying: "Your case is very serious. The provincial department is now arresting it. Although our team has
Everyone knows that you are unjust, but someone in the province is determined to punish you, and no one can do anything about it."
"Have you looked for Song Jianfeng?" Liu Ziguang asked.
"I've looked for him, but it's useless. Chen Runing's identity is too special, and no one can say anything."
"Okay, I have an idea."
There was another moment of silence.
"Something happened to Fang Fei." Hu Rong thought about it again and again, and still felt that she should tell Liu Ziguang.
"What's the matter?" Liu Ziguang sat up straight and his tone changed.
Hu Rong felt sour in her heart: "It's a small matter. There was an intern doctor in the hospital who pursued her and was hit by a car and became disabled. Now the man's family is pestering Fang Fei every day to ask her to marry their son."
"Bei Xiaoshuai and the others didn't ask?" Liu Ziguang's eyebrows twisted into the Chinese character "Sichuan".
"Why didn't you ask? I used all my tricks. If I couldn't resist others, I would use soft tricks. The old man and the old lady would kneel down and kowtow to you while crying and crying. How dare you do it? Besides, your little one
My fiancée is so soft-hearted, so she just does this." Hu Rong's tone was also sour.
Liu Ziguang said: "This family is quite vicious. I will kill them later. What else will happen?"
"Yes, the headquarters of the Zhicheng Group is moving to Beijing. Your Li Wan has already moved. The Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant has been completely abandoned by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and is now up for sale. However, no one dares to take over this mess. Xuanwu Group cannot afford it.
He has strong backbone, and in the end it even cost the president’s life. Which private enterprise do you think would dare to touch it?”
The two of them discussed the recent major events in Jiangbei City in the car. Half an hour passed before they knew it. Hu Rong opened the door and jumped out of the car: "Let's go."
Liu Ziguang also got out of the car, put on his baseball cap, lowered the brim of his hat, and followed Hu Rong five steps behind. The two of them entered the community one after another. As Hu Rong said, at this time,
There are basically no people in the community.
Arriving at the door of his house, Liu Ziguang was about to take the key to open the door when Hu Rong reached out and knocked on the door: "Auntie, I'm here."
Then I heard footsteps inside the door, the door opened, and my mother appeared at the door: "Xiao Hu is here, is there any news about our Xiaoguang?"
Liu Ziguang appeared in a flash: "Mom, I'm back."
The strange thing is that the mother did not show any excitement or joy, as if her son was just on a business trip for a while as usual. She let the two of them into the house, closed the door and asked, "Has the case been cleared up?"
Liu Ziguang was a little confused, and Hu Rong spoke: "Auntie, the case is still under investigation. I believe the truth will come to light soon. I have wronged Liu Ziguang for a while, but he will have to persist for a while."
Mom said: "Xiaoguang, you don't have to worry at home. Xiaohu comes to see us every day. If anything happens, Bei Xiaoshuai and the other children can also help. You can just work for the country with peace of mind."
Liu Ziguang glanced at Hu Rong gratefully and asked, "Mom, where's dad?"
"I've been working overtime. Recently, the factory has become busy again. There are a lot of orders for the latest models of armored vehicles. Many retired workers have returned to the factory. Lao Lu and the others have also introduced advanced lathe equipment from abroad. The Chenguang Factory is now developed.
"It's a pity that our Hongqi Factory has lost its backbone after President Wei's death and is about to collapse."
After chatting for a while, Hu Rong quietly signaled that it was time to leave. Liu Ziguang stood up and said, "Mom, it's time for me to leave. I still have work, so I may not call back often. Don't worry, you and dad."
…
After coming out of the house, Liu Ziguang stopped at the door of the building and said, "Hu Rong, thank you."
Hu Rong waved her hand: "It's nothing. Just take care of yourself. Goodbye." After saying that, she left without looking back.
Watching Hu Rong's back go away, Liu Ziguang also disappeared into the darkness.
…
In a hot spring club in the northern suburbs of the capital, a black Audi car drove into the courtyard. The waiter diligently opened the door. Zhao Hui and Hu Qingsong got out of the car.
The welcoming lady took them to a large private room, where several guests had already arrived, including Ma Fengfeng and several other friends who had been playing together since childhood.
Zhao Hui sat aside silently. Upon seeing this, Ma Fengfeng came over with a tea cup, sat down next to him, and said half-jokingly: "Brother Ming, it's not easy to see you again. Brother, I almost died in Southeast Asia."
"Just come back." Zhao Hui smiled faintly.
Ma Fengfeng lowered his head to drink tea when he suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor. He quickly jumped up and walked to the door to greet: "Third uncle, second brother, dad."
Hearty laughter came: "Fengzi is still as sweet as when he was a child."
Zhao Hui heard the sound and stood up to greet the guests: "Uncle Ma, third uncle, second brother."
The visitors were Ma Fengfeng's father Ma Jingsheng, Zhao Hui's third uncle Ye Junsheng and second brother Ye Han.
The principal arrived and all the juniors took their seats. Ye Junsheng asked: "Jingsheng, what do you want to drink?"
Ma Jingsheng said: "Don't drink today."
"I didn't bring my secretary or security guard with me today. I just wanted to have a good drunken time with my old friends. How can I do it without drinking? Well, as usual, let's bring a box of liquor first." Ye Junsheng arranged the drinks without any explanation and asked again.
: "Is the food ready?"
Ma Fengfeng quickly replied: "Third uncle, we have made all arrangements. I know you will like this one. I specially prepared the special Moutai, which is fifteen years old."
The table was very large, filled with flowers in the middle. Ye Junsheng frowned and said, "Take away the flowers, bring the wine over, and watch each bottle. Anyone who doesn't finish the drink will be punished by military law."
Everyone laughed, and Ma Jingsheng said: "You guys are just like you when you were a kid. I remember that year we had a group fight in the Navy Yard. After the fight, we shook hands and made peace, and had dinner at Lao Mo. You also behaved like this. I saw you."
Drinking will kill you."
Ye Junsheng said: "Don't rush to mention the past now, drink first and then talk about it."
The drinking was in the dark, and the elders drank freely, and the younger ones were naturally not to be outdone. When they were drinking vigorously, Ye Junsheng picked up the microphone and started singing: "The revolution is thundering, the soldiers have the rising sun in their chests, Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao
, the Cultural Revolution initiated by you personally..."
At the end of the song, everyone clapped and applauded. Ma Jingsheng said with emotion: "Third brother, forty years have passed and we are all old. I remember that at that time you stole your father's military uniform and wore it, a general's tuxedo with breeches, and two
It’s a golden bean. The military uniforms at that time were still good-looking and the people were spirited.”
Ye Junsheng said with a smile: "People were stupid back then. We did stupid things a lot when we were young. We criticized the establishment in 1967. You broke your father's ribs, and I made my father's nose bleed. I still felt that the attack was not harsh enough."
, is not enough to show loyalty to Chairman Mao and the old man."
Ma Jingsheng said: "Now we can no longer let the juniors follow the same example as before. They all came from the same compound. We must unite and act as one to the outside world. I have spoiled this kid Ma Fengfeng, and he has a straightforward temper. I can't handle some things."
It's so authentic that everyone laughed, so I apologize to Third Brother." He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Ma Fengfeng also picked up the cup and filled it up and said: "Brother Ming, I'm sorry, there are some things that I really didn't consider. I didn't think about your feelings. I'll do it first out of respect. I hope that we brothers will be the same in the future."
As he spoke, he drank the Maotai in the straight water glass in one gulp, and Zhao Hui had no choice but to have one cup with him.
"This is the right thing." Ye Junsheng seemed very pleased and drank a full glass.
Ma Jingsheng said: "Fengfeng is a little too rough, but the starting point is good. Although the iron ore in West Africa is of high grade, the political situation is turbulent and the infrastructure is poor. I am afraid that it will not be able to create benefits for decades. It is better to use this
I think the idea of trading cards for ready-made Australian mines is worthy of recognition."
Ye Junsheng replied: "I think so too. Although Sijin was acquired by Wynn, the original agreement is still legally binding and can continue to be implemented. We cannot let foreigners think that we change orders overnight and have no legal awareness."
