Chapter 52 Rainy Night

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The dense raindrops hit the window, making a "bang" sound. On the transparent glass window, the rain was winding down like countless wriggling earthworms.

It was already time to get off work, but the Municipal Party Secretary Bao Changrong did not leave the office. He held a cigarette in his hand and stood quietly in front of the window, looking out the window without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yang Guang wandered outside for more than ten minutes, and finally couldn't help it. He knocked on the door and walked in, whispering: "Secretary Bao, it's time to go back, otherwise Aunt Xiaofen will be angry."

Bao Changrong did not look back, but stretched out his right hand and gently waved it, and said in a low tone: "You go first, I want to be quiet. I have called her and will go back later tonight."

Yang Guang sighed, walked to the desk, made a cup of hot tea, and whispered: "Secretary Bao, are you still worried about Secretary Guo Hui's affairs?"

Bao Changrong nodded, pulled down the chair, rubbed his temples, and frowned and said, "Yes, they were attacked suddenly."

Yang Guang was silent for a while, looked up at Bao Changrong, and hesitated: "Secretary Bao, is this a signal released by the above? The provincial party committee tends to support Mayor Li Chen."

Bao Changrong picked up the teacup, blew gently, then put it down, and said with a serious expression: "It shouldn't be, maybe it's just a wake-up call."

Yang Guang observed his words and thought about the words and said in a low voice: "Secretary Guo has always been strict with himself. The case should have nothing to do with him. The evidence he has obtained now does not prove that he has protected Guo Yong. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection took the person away without the preliminary investigation. It would be too rash."

Bao Changrong's mouth twitched a few times, picked up the cup, drank a sip of tea, and shook his head and said, "You can't draw conclusions easily. I used to trust them too much, but many cadres have had trouble."

Yang Guang frowned and said with a wry smile: "Secretary Bao, I still think that Secretary Guo will not have any problems."

Bao Changrong closed his eyes and shook his head gently and said, "This is not only the decision of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but also the opinion of the Provincial Party Committee. We should respect the decision above, and we should check and clarify the case. It is a good thing for Guo Hui himself or the Minjiang Municipal Party Committee."

Yang Guang hesitated for a moment and still plucked up the courage to say: "The witness has disappeared for more than a year. The conclusion raised by Huang Haichao is very unfavorable to Secretary Guo. He is now a mute and cannot say anything about his suffering."

Bao Changrong frowned slightly, glanced at Yang Guang, and said nothing.

Yang Guang didn't care and continued: "I suspect that this may be a trap dug in advance."

Bao Changrong also nodded, rubbed his head, and whispered: "The witness is indeed very important, and it should be found as soon as possible."

Yang Guang stood up and smiled and said, "Secretary Bao, Deputy Director Qin Mingjun called just now. He had already arranged it. He sent two groups of police officers out to find them, to see people alive and to see the corpse dead. Try to find the witnesses as soon as possible, to clarify the case, and to restore Secretary Guo's innocence."

Bao Changrong smiled and said softly: "That's the best."

The two were talking when Secretary-General Lu Gaoyang knocked on the door and walked in, saying sadly: "Secretary Bao, haven't you left yet?"

Bao Changrong turned his head, nodded out the window, and smiled and said, "The rain stopped and then left. The weather was bad, and he was in a mess."

Lu Gaoyang sat on the sand, took the teacup handed by Yang Guang, placed it on the coffee table, and smiled and said, "Thank you."

After a pause, he looked up and said, "We are in a bad mood. Some people are happy and may have to drink celebrating wine tonight."

Bao Changrong smiled, but did not say anything, but touched the cigarette box, took out a Chinese cigarette, and lit it, and slowly started sucking it.

Yang Guang knew that the two might have to have a long conversation, so he walked out tactfully, closed the office door gently, returned to the computer desk, fiddled with his cell phone, and started text messages.

After a while, Bao Changrong dusted the ashes and said softly: "Gao Yang's secret theory, I underestimate Li Chen."

Lu Gaoyang sighed and frowned, "This Li Chen is a good player in conspiracy and tricks. He should have some cards he has not played."

Bao Changrong took a sip of tea, thought for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Although Qin Mingjun has stood firm and has also killed a few people, we have lost a member of the Standing Committee. This business has been a loss."

Lu Gaoyang nodded and said helplessly: "Qin Mingjun still can't do it. Regardless of his professional level or personal prestige, he is not comparable to Huang Haichao. At the police entrance of Minjiang City, no one can challenge Huang Haichao for the time being. It is unrealistic to catch Huang Haichao's tail through him."

Bao Changrong frowned and took a breath of cigarettes, and said softly: "The key to the problem is that there is not enough time. Li Chen can afford to delay it, but I can't afford to delay it. If the work has not improved within two years, he will definitely win, and time will stand on his side."

Lu Gaoyang fell silent and sighed: "Secretary Ma probably also liked this and supported him so firmly. Even Minister Yin jumped over. Now, the publicity of Li Chen in Minjiang's TV and newspapers is very strong, almost three times that of the past."

Bao Changrong smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Normal, the media must listen to the Propaganda Department. Lao Yin just passed by and was eager to show it, which is understandable."

Lu Gaoyang sighed and said softly: "Secretary Bao, it's all at the critical moment, so you can calm down."

Bao Changrong put down his cup and smiled and said, "The situation is already like this, and it's useless to be anxious. I can only think of a solution slowly."

Lu Gaoyang raised his hands, rubbed his numb face, and whispered: "Secretary Bao, is Guo Hui's accident this time related to his brother's case?"

Bao Changrong frowned slightly and pondered: "There are some other things that have not been revealed too much, but this time, it happened very suddenly and I always feel something strange."

Lu Gaoyang rubbed his forehead and said in a little frustrated: "We are too passive when Guo Hui leaves."

Bao Changrong nodded, stood up again, walked to the window, looked at the rain outside the window, and slowly said: "Secretary General Gao Yang, I really want to thank you. I have always supported me for so many years."

Lu Gaoyang felt a little hot, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything, but lowered his head to drink tea. After a while, he smiled and said, "It should be, you are the squad leader, and you don't support who you support."

Bao Changrong smiled slightly, threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, touched the phone on the desk, dialed the number, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face and said softly: "Secretary Wang, it's me, call Mayor Liang, let's have a meal together tonight."

Wang Siyu smiled slightly and said softly: "Okay, where to go?"

Bao Changrong's smile on his face became stronger and he said with a smile: "Let's go to Minjiang Hotel, Secretary-General Lu Gaoyang also goes there."

Wang Siyu nodded and said with a smile: "That's true, I'll call Manager Su and ask her to arrange it."

Bao Changrong smiled and said softly: "Just be simpler, we will arrive in thirty minutes."

Wang Siyu said 'um', hung up the phone, stood up from the sand, and smiled and said, "Sister Liang, let's go, Secretary Secretary is going to Minjiang Hotel."

Liang Guizhi smiled faintly, packed the documents on the table, and whispered: "I knew he would not be able to sit still. When Guo Hui left, Bao Changrong was passive. This time, the value of our two people is rising."

Wang Siyu smiled and called Su Xiaohong from Minjiang Hotel again. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone and smiled and said, "Sister Liang is right. I will be at the table later. I will act at my wink and I will definitely sell you a good price."

"What are you saying?" Liang Guizhi gave him a blank look, held his bag, took a flower umbrella, and went downstairs with Wang Siyu. The two of them got into the car and slowly drove towards the Minjiang Hotel.

Su Xiaohong answered the phone and did not dare to neglect it. She quickly organized the taste of the main leader of the municipal party committee. Therefore, meals are secondly, mainly for entertainment activities after meals. After all, Secretary Bao does not come here often.

She directed several waiters to set up a table of mahjong in the private room next door, packed up the small dance hall, called the manager to serve, and whispered. She was about to arrange a unique mask dance party after the banquet so that the leaders could feel the new things.

Recently, Minjiang City cadres have been adjusting frequently, and Su Xiaohong has also been thinking about finding opportunities to move and talk to her husband Zhao Lianyong. After all, Zhao Lianyong has been working in the commission office for four years. Logically, it is time to move the place. It is not conducive to his future development after working on it for too long.

Half an hour later, everyone entered the private room, sat down, chatted while drinking tea and the waiters served all the wine and dishes, Su Xiaohong poured the wine himself, and at the request of everyone, he drank two glasses with him.

Secretary-General Lu Gaoyang put down his glass and said with a smile: "Secretary Bao, Manager Su has a high alcohol tolerance. It is said that when the couple was in love, Manager Su showed his strength and drank Director Lian Yong overwhelmed."

When Su Xiaohong heard this, her face turned red and she hurriedly covered her mouth and smiled: "Secretary-General, look at what you said, I am not that powerful."

Lu Gaoyang smiled and said softly: "Manager Su, this is what Director Lian Yong said in person, don't deny it."

Bao Changrong picked up the dish, put down the chopsticks, took out the tissue, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "That's right, Manager Su is a huge number of female heroes, everyone knows it very well."

Su Xiaohong hurriedly shook her head and said with some reservations: "Secretary Bao, you have been too rewarded. Since I got married, I have rarely drunk alcohol. I only barely had a few drinks in front of all the leaders, which made the leaders laugh."

When everyone heard this, the more they felt that she could speak, and looked at the woman with a high look.

Liang Guizhi turned her body and saw that the card on her head was very beautiful. She held her hand and whispered a few words.

The two women whispered to each other, and Su Xiaohong quickly stood up and smiled and said, "Secretary Bao, leaders, please drink slowly, I'll go to the dance hall to prepare."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, gently brought the door with her. Lu Gaoyang smiled and said, "Director Lian Yong married a good wife. The couple are both the same smart. No matter what occasion they appear, they can handle it freely."

Liang Guizhi held up her glasses and also interrupted: "The Secretary-General is right, this couple is really good."

Bao Changrong raised his cup again and signaled everyone to drink. The few of them took a sip. Bao Changrong put down the cup, looked at Wang Siyu, and smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, I have worked hard recently. The work of the Discipline Inspection Commission is very effective. You have withstood a lot of pressure, which is not easy."

Wang Siyu smiled and said modestly: "Secretary Bao, I have to thank you for your support."

Bao Changrong waved his hand and said with deep emotion: "I'm wrong. I should thank everyone for their support, otherwise, I will become a lonely person."

After speaking, the dining table became quiet, and the other three looked at each other in a daze, but they didn't expect that he would speak so bluntly.

After a while, Wang Siyu smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Secretary Bao, difficulties are temporary and will be better."

Bao Changrong's eyes lit up, he picked up the dish, turned his eyes to Liang Guizhi, and said half-jokingly: "Mayor Liang, now is a good time to force the palace, don't miss it."

Liang Guizhi looked slightly embarrassed, took off her glasses, and said with a smile: "Secretary Bao was joking. Everyone was on the same boat, and I couldn't do anything about being at risk. Let's unite and overcome the difficulties together."

Bao Changrong was completely relieved, picked up the wine glass, and smiled and said, "Mayor Liang, we should have a drink just for your words."

Although Liang Guizhi was a little embarrassed, she still clinked glasses with him, drank the wine in the glass, picked up a few sips of the dishes, suppressed the smell of alcohol, and waved her hands: "Everyone, I don't have the alcohol tolerance of Manager Su. I will never clink glasses next time. Just toast, I will stop touching my lips."

Wang Siyu hurriedly changed her juice and said with a smile: "Sister Liang, you can do whatever you want. The three of us want to have a good drink tonight."

"Okay, okay, let's have a heart-to-heart wine this time." Seeing that the two of them had made it clear that they would not change their minds and refused to take advantage of the situation, Lu Gaoyang was happy, so he picked up the wine glass and toasted frequently. Everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere at the dining table became relaxed and pleasant.

Although Liang Guizhi was drinking juice, she unknowingly remembered her thoughts again, so she touched the wine glass and poured it on her own. As she drank, she felt sad and couldn't help but burst into tears.

More than an hour later, Su Xiaohong came in again but was shocked. Except for Wang Siyu, the other three leaders were all drunk. The dance party must have been unable to be held at night. She hurriedly arranged the waiter and helped the three leaders back to their room to rest.

Wang Siyu went downstairs and drove to Guanghua Road. He parked the car in the community. After getting off the car, he entered the unit building in the rain and came to Cheng Lin's door. He rang the doorbell for a while, but no one opened the door.

He took out the spare key, opened the door, and after entering the room, he walked upstairs and downstairs, but could not find Cheng Lin. Wang Siyu took out his cell phone and dialed it, but the phone was turned off.
