() Xiang Tianliang felt that something was not right. Their behavior was a bit abnormal, including Deputy Secretary Chen Yimin.

The more cheerfully they spoke and the more thorough their "explanations" were, the more suspicious Xiang Tianliang became.

There must be fraud in it,

Once suspicion suddenly arises, the vigilance toward dawn will rise to a tense level.

There are tea and drinks on the table, so I can’t drink them. There are also high-end cigarettes on the coffee table. I can’t smoke them. I would rather smoke the three-yuan pack of Dachongjiu cigarettes in my pocket.

Looking furtively, except for Xu Xiping who had an angry face, Zhang Hong and Gao Yao actually acted as if nothing had happened. They had told others about their bad and scandalous things and had them recorded and used as evidence. How could they still sit so calmly?

Xiang Tianliang's gaze branched out and turned to Chen Yimin on the left.

Coincidentally, Chen Yimin was also looking towards Tianliang,

Their eyes met, neither of them wanted to avoid each other, they stared at each other,

Eyes are the windows to the soul. People can put on airs, but eyes cannot hide the true heart.

After a few seconds of eye contact, Chen Yimin smiled slightly and looked away.

Xiang Tianliang was startled. Chen Yimin seemed to be hiding something, which made his suspicions thicker.

So, why are they so "cooperative"?

At this time, Chen Yimin spoke,

Chen Yimin: "Comrade Xiaoxiang, are you interrogating a prisoner?"

Xiang Tianliang: "Deputy Secretary Chen, this is your understanding. I don't think so."

Chen Yimin: "This is very bad. Don't complicate issues that are already clear."

Xiang Tianliang: "How do you understand this?"

Chen Yimin: "You are here to solve the problem, not to raise an army to accuse me."

Xiang Tianliang: "I agree, but the first step is to make things clear."

Chen Yimin: "This is not your personal intention."

Xiang Tianliang: "Frankly speaking, this is also what Minister Gao and Comrade Chen Meilan meant, especially Comrade Chen Meilan."

Chen Yimin: "I understand. Comrade Chen Meilan has been hurt this time. The three of them must apologize to Comrade Chen Meilan."

Xiang Tianliang: "There is no need to apologize. Comrade Chen Meilan said that if she does not explain the matter clearly, she will report to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Chen Yimin: "Oh...did she really say that?"

Xiang Tianliang: "I have a recorded statement that she authorized me to send messages. If you don't believe it, you can play it and listen to it."

Chen Yimin: "That's not necessary. We believe you, but there are still two points that need to be clarified."

Xiang Tianliang: "What two points."

Chen Yimin: "What is Minister Gao's opinion?"

Xiang Tianliang: "Support Comrade Chen Meilan. If you don't explain the matter clearly, you won't have to talk about other matters."

Chen Yimin: "No need to talk."

Xiang Tianliang: "What I mean is that if we can't reach an agreement today, then bring it to the table and make it completely public."

Chen Yimin: "Well, this is very much in line with Minister Gao's style. He hides needles in the cotton wool and is polite before attacking."

Xiang Tianliang: "So, Deputy Secretary Chen, please understand my difficulties. I am also acting under orders."

Chen Yimin: "One more thing, do you know what Secretary Li means?"

Xiang Tianliang: "Secretary Li."

Chen Yimin: "Secretary Li Wenrui."

Xiang Tianliang: "Didn't he go abroad for a visit?"

Chen Yimin: "The incident happened before Secretary Li went abroad for his visit."

Xiang Tianliang: "I think...I think Secretary Li should know about this."

Chen Yimin: "What I'm asking is, what Secretary Li thinks of this matter."

Xiang Tianliang: "I don't know this."

Chen Yimin: "Secretary Li didn't tell you."

Xiang Tianliang: "Deputy Secretary Chen, you are kidding me. I am just a little soldier. How could Secretary Li tell me his thoughts?"

Chen Yimin: "Maybe Secretary Li will tell Minister Gao."

Xiang Tianliang: "You have to ask Minister Gao about this."

Chen Yimin: "Minister Gao didn't tell you."

Xiang Tianliang: "No, how about I go back and ask for you."

Chen Yimin: "Please stop trying to push me."

Xiang Tianliang: "I don't dare."

Chen Yimin: "So, you must continue to ask."

Xiang Tianliang: "I've already asked two questions, what's the harm in having one more."

Chen Yimin: "Okay, you continue, continue."

Xiang Tianliang: "Thank you, Deputy Secretary Chen."

This "one more" is of course Xu Xiping, who is still on fire.

Smiling mischievously, he looked at Xu Xiping with a smile on his face.

Xiang Tianliang: "Lao Xu, don't be angry. From my point of view, not only can you not be angry, you should also be happy."

Xu Xiping: "Xiang Tianliang, what do you mean?"

Xiang Tianliang: "Your wife is so popular, Secretary Zhang thought, Inspector Gao thought even more, shouldn't you be happy?"

Xu Xiping: "You still want to make me angry, right?"

Xiang Tianliang: "Haha... To be honest, Secretary Chen Meilan is very beautiful, I think so too, even more than Secretary Zhang and Inspector Gao."

Xu Xiping: "If you didn't think about it, you would have done it a long time ago."

Xiang Tianliang: "Evidence, evidence, words are unfounded."

Xu Xiping: "Zhang Xing said that you and Chen Meilan got along well when we were in the Municipal Construction Bureau."

Xiang Tianliang: "You also believe what he says."

Xu Xiping: "Liu Qingtong also said so."

Xiang Tianliang: "Liu Qingtong is famous for saying nine out of ten sentences that are half false. If you believe him, I really have nothing to say."

Xu Xiping: "Yang Biqiao is Liu Qingtong's ex-wife. He said that you and Yang Biqiao also have that kind of relationship."

Xiang Tianliang: "Haha... you actually believe what Zhang Xing and Liu Qingtong said. Lao Xu, your IQ is not that low."

Xu Xiping: "Then how do you explain your such close relationship with Chen Meilan and Yang Biqiao? I want to hear your explanation."

Xiang Tianliang: "You didn't know the power struggle in the Municipal Construction Bureau at that time."

Xu Xiping: “I don’t know much about it.”

Xiang Tianliang: "Do you know the relationship between Wang Zigui and Zhang Xing?"

Xu Xiping: "I didn't know it before. I only found out not long ago that they have a mother-son relationship."

Xiang Tianliang: "Let me ask you, if the mother steps down and lets her son take over as director, do you think it is possible?"

Xu Xiping: "Absolutely impossible."

Xiang Tianliang: "But, at that time, the people who knew that Wang Zigui and Zhang Xing were related as mother and son happened to be me, Chen Meilan, and Yang Biqiao. Now you know why."

Xu Xiping: "Please explain clearly."

Xiang Tianliang: "Zhang Xing wanted to shut our mouths, so he spread rumors everywhere that I was related to Chen Meilan and Yang Biqiao."

Xu Xiping: "It's that simple."

Xiang Tianliang: "Believe it or not, I'm too lazy to explain to you, so let's talk about what's going on now."

Xu Xiping: "What do you want."

Xiang Tianliang: "If you don't explain clearly, you won't be able to pass this level."

Xu Xiping: "I'm not scared."

Xiang Tianliang: "Do you want to try it?"

Xu Xiping: "What exactly do you want to know."

Xiang Tianliang: "Is what Secretary Zhang said just now true?"

Xu Xiping: "Yes, they are all true."
