In the early morning, the sun still rises as usual, but some of the haze from last night has not dissipated yet, and it is still dense in some people's hearts.

It was already half past eight when Li Xuewu woke up from the guest house.

The curtains were thick, blocking out the sunlight, and he slept deeply. If the phone beside the bed hadn't rang, he would probably have to sleep for a while longer.

"Well, I understand, okay"

Li Xuewu hung up the phone in a daze, lay on the bed and rested for a while, then sat up.

The call came from the front desk, saying that Director Qin had told him to call the room at this time to wake him up.

This was also the time agreed with Qin Huairu last night, and he could only sleep until this time at most.

After washing his face with cold water and looking at himself with a slight stubble in the mirror, Li Xuewu twitched his lips, took off his coat and walked out the door.

As soon as he got downstairs, he saw Peng Xiaoli standing at the front desk waiting for him, holding a notebook in his hand.

"Deputy Director Li, I have left breakfast for you. Eat something before you leave."

When the waiter saw that he was about to leave, he reminded him: "Our director has already told you to have breakfast."

"Oh? Okay, let's have breakfast then"

Li Xuewu looked at his watch. There was still a quarter of an hour to nine o'clock. If you were late, you might as well be late. It was estimated that the morning would be busy by this time.

"Have Director Li and Director Xue come down?"

"Yes, the leaders have already had breakfast and specifically asked not to wake you up too early."

The waiter smiled and replied, "Deputy Director Cheng's breakfast has been delivered to the room, don't worry."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Li Xuewu smiled at the waiter and then went to the restaurant.

It’s been a while since I’ve eaten here. Usually I’m either in the agency canteen or at home.

I ate at the International Hotel the few times I hosted guests, so today I still have a strange feeling when I walk into the restaurant.

"Director Qin requested that a batch of dining tables and chairs be replaced. The original large round tables were replaced with square tables, which can accommodate more guests."

The waiter and Peng Xiaoli came over with breakfast. Seeing Li Xuewu looking at the restaurant environment, he took the initiative to introduce it.

Li Xuewu nodded, signaled to Peng Xiaoli and asked: "Did you eat this morning? Want some?"

"No, I've eaten before, in the cafeteria"

Peng Xiaoli declined with a smile, placed the dishes and chopsticks and sat across from him to report: "I just had a phone call with Secretary Li. Director Li asked you to come visit Deputy Director Cheng at ten in the morning."

"Okay, I get it"

Li Xuewu ate breakfast, nodded, and motioned for him to continue reporting.

Peng Xiaoli is very aware of his habits. He just needs to arrange his schedule in order, and he doesn't have any special preferences.

If you have a special itinerary, you will tell him in advance so that he can be prepared.

The two of them were delayed in the cafeteria for more than ten minutes. When they came out, Han Jiankun was already waiting at the door.

“Just these two steps”

Li Xuewu looked at Han Jiankun and asked, "Did you get up so early to go home?"

“Yes, everything is good”

Han Jiankun always said few words. He only said everything was fine at home, but he didn't say anyone was fine at home.

Needless to say, Gu Ning lived at home during her confinement period. Even though her 40-day maternity leave was about to end, she still had to live at home for a period of time.

Gu Ning will return to work on the 29th of this month, and Qin Jingru will have to start taking care of her baby.

Fortunately, Gu Ning's work unit is close to home. As long as he goes home on time to feed the baby, or Qin Jingru carries the baby to the hospital, he will be taken care of.

Originally, Qin Jingru didn't need to stay at home at night, but she didn't want to because she was afraid that Gu Ning wouldn't be able to take care of her alone, or that it would be inconvenient for Li Xuewu if he needed it.

It's just that it's hard for Han Jiankun to have to run both ways and have to take on an extra job.

The command vehicle drove in a circle along the factory road, entered the office area, and stopped in front of the security building.

And now someone was waiting for him.

"When did you come?"

Li Xuewu jumped out of the command vehicle, opened the door, looked at Xiang Yunian who was standing at the door smoking, and asked, "Why don't you go in?"

"I just arrived. I knew you weren't in the office so I didn't go up." Xiang Yunian raised his hand to indicate the cigarette butt in his hand. Sure enough, there was still half a cigarette left.

"You stayed up until midnight last night? You looked listless. Has the problem been solved?"

He asked several questions one after another. Last night he received a call from Li Xuewu. When he heard that he was asking about a deputy director of the steel rolling mill, he knew something was wrong.

Contact him, contact the disciplinary supervisor, don't think about it, it must have happened years ago. He also thought that the impact of this case would not be eliminated so quickly, but he did not expect that it would affect so widely.

No one could have imagined that the impact of the case would find its way to Cheng Kaiyuan.

"If you lie down at 2:30 in the morning and wake up at 8:30, it's still enough."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "The problem was solved fairly smoothly, which worries you. The leader has already taken me back. There is no problem."

"This is truly an escape from danger."

Xiang Yunian took a puff of his cigarette, glanced at Li Xuewu, and said meaningfully: "I thought the involvement was too big and you were going to fall into it, so I went to the leader overnight to inquire, but it's not the situation here."

"I'm also a little scared. I guess it's a fluke. Director Li of the factory is more concerned about this matter, and he found the superior through connections."

Li Xuewu sighed and shook his head slightly, motioning to the people upstairs, asking him to go upstairs together.

"That means picking people up overnight, otherwise I can't imagine the consequences."

"Wise move, your factory is quite bold at this time...right?"

Xiang Yunian pinched out the cigarette butt in his hand and followed Li Xuewu to the hall. He felt that the heat was no longer there, so he threw the cigarette butt in the trash can in the hall.

Li Xuewu went up the stairs first and walked in front and said: "I called you because I was afraid of any eventuality. After all, I am not familiar with the disciplinary supervision system. If my eyes are dark, I really can't find anyone and I will be in trouble."

"It's nonsense. We are in a mess here. We can't find the number. There are many people changed from top to bottom. We don't know each other at all, and we can't have any connections."

Xiang Yunnian smiled bitterly and said: "If I can save you, I still have a small amount of power, but if it's someone else, I'm really powerless."

"Then I have to say thank you."

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Xuewu looked at him with a smile and said: "I hope I will never need you to save me in this life. I just saw the leader came out yesterday. I was afraid.

".

"Are you still afraid? It's rare!" Xiang Yunian looked at him, smiled, and said, "I'll remember it later. It's really rare."

"You have a grudge against me, right? Are you here specifically to ridicule me?"

Li Xuewu walked up to the third floor and invited him to walk to the end of the corridor with him. As he walked, he said: "If one day I really need you to teach me regardless of fairness, it means... alas -"

He let out a long sigh, which finally ended the conversation. Neither of them wanted to make useless assumptions, after all, it was too scary.

When we arrived at the office, there were several urgent items that were quickly reviewed and approved under Peng Xiaoli’s instructions.

Taking advantage of this time, Peng Xiaoli helped Xiang Yunnian make a cup of tea and also changed Li Xuewu's tea leaves with new ones.

Perhaps thinking that the leader's urgent message had kept the other party waiting for a long time, he even brought a plate of dried fruits over.

"Don't be so polite, your leader and I are old friends."

Xiang Yunian looked at his apologetic smile and nodded, saying, "I really want to show off here, how will you entertain other guests later?"

"Director Xiang is one of our own, why are you so worried?" Li Xuewu glanced at the coffee table, lowered his head and continued to approve documents, and said: "Keep the good things, it doesn't hurt."

.

"Director Xiang is a guest, so that's what he should do. We talked on the phone yesterday."

Peng Xiaoli smiled and said to Xiang Yunian: "I have been to your unit with our leaders before. This is my invitation to you, and it is not included in the scope of entertainment."

"Well, I won't be polite then, thank you."

Xiang Yunian smiled and chatted with him for a few words. When Li Xuewu finished processing the documents at hand and came over, the dried fruit plate remained untouched.

"I have to tell you something, it's about the case."

He looked at Li Xuewu and said seriously: "I didn't tell you before because I thought this matter had nothing to do with you. Now it seems that I was careless and overestimated the other party's bottom line."

"So serious? About me?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, sat next to him, and asked: "Is it still involving me?"

"It's about Lai Shanchuan, Lai Yide and his son. You should know what they are involved in."

Xiang Yunian said with an ugly face: "We have obtained some evidence during the investigation process, but it was interfered by certain forces and could not proceed smoothly, thus delaying the deadline."

"You mean to say that there are still big issues that need to be investigated about Lai Shanchuan and his son, but the investigation was blocked within the deadline given above. Who is it?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly and said, "Isn't the leader of your system sitting in charge? Doesn't he know about this?"

"There is no way. The leaders are more concerned and more determined to sort out this case, but we are the ones handling the case."

Xiang Yunian said frankly: "We wanted to get to the bottom of the case, but as soon as the case spread so widely, we couldn't even work around the clock for 24 hours."
