Provincial capital Pingnan City, Hongye Hotel.
Xu Lang was locked in the room by the Discipline Inspection Commission for half the night. He looked calm on the outside, but he was panicking on the inside.
At 8:30 in the morning, Xu Lang stayed up all night and his eyes were red.
He touched his pocket and saw that his mobile phone was taken away. He took out a cigarette case and saw that there were two more. He took out one and lit it and smoked continuously to calm down his nervous mood.
More than half an hour later, the door opened and a woman and a man came in. The woman was close to forty, plump and mature, very attractive; the man was in his twenties and a young man.
Seeing that the woman was an acquaintance, Xu Lang quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Secretary Zheng, long time no see."
Zheng Ru, deputy secretary of the Ninghai Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, who was chatting and laughing with Xu Lang before, now has a serious face and sharp eyes.
"We haven't seen each other for a while. I didn't expect to meet again, but in this form. It's really regrettable."
Xu Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Zheng, it was Mayor Chen who committed the crime. Why did you bring me here? The mayor's affairs have nothing to do with me."
"Whether it matters or not is not up to you." Zheng Ru said seriously: "Chen Qinglong has been corrupt and accepted bribes. You are his secretary, so of course you have serious suspicions."
Having said this, he glanced at his subordinates who had turned on the camera and notepad, and then said: "You must tell the details of your participation in Chen Qinglong's corruption and bribery."
Xu Lang said nervously: "Secretary Zheng, what do you mean by participating together? Let me first declare that I have no knowledge of Chen Qinglong's illegal activities, let alone participating in them. You can't blame him randomly."
Zheng Ru said: "Xu Lang, if you want to go back safely, you must cooperate with our work and leave no chance. Otherwise, not only will your reputation be ruined, but you will also spend the rest of your life behind bars!"
Xu Lang's legs could not help but tremble slightly.
After a while, seeing that Xu Lang still didn't speak, Zheng Ru was about to reprimand, but Xu Lang suddenly said: "I want to talk to you alone. Your colleagues should avoid it first."
Zheng Ru was startled, and then said to her male colleague: "Xiao Zhang, please go out for a walk first."
"Okay." Xiao Zhang stood up, took a deep look at Xu Lang and walked out.
After Xiao Zhang closed the door, Xu Lang looked at the camera again, and then at Zheng Ru.
Zheng Ru realized that what Xu Lang was going to say must be related to a major secret and did not want the camera to record it.
She hesitated, reached out and turned off the camera, stared at Xu Lang and said, "You can say it now."
Xu Lang leaned forward and said in a voice that only Zheng Ru could hear: "I don't know about Chen Qinglong's other corruption and bribery, but I saw a person gave him two gift boxes. The two gift boxes were exactly the same and the size was smaller. Small."
Zheng Ru was secretly happy and quickly asked: "What's in the gift box?"
"I didn't know it at first," Xu Lang said, "but when I was loading into the mayor's car, the lid of a box fell off, and I saw a box full of money inside!"
"Oh?" Zheng Ru was so happy that she quickly asked: "Who is the gift-giver? Do you know him?"
"We know each other." Xu Lang said with a smile: "Because we are so familiar, that's why he didn't deliberately ask me to avoid him."
Zheng Ru was anxious: "Who is it?"
Xu Lang stared into Zheng Ru's eyes and said slowly: "His name is Hong Tao, the boss of Jutao Real Estate Company in Pingnan City, and he is also your husband!"
Zheng Ru was stunned for a moment, and her face, which was red with excitement, instantly turned pale!
"You, you are framed!"
This was a self-protective excuse. For Zheng Ru, if this news was true, not only would her husband be guilty, but she, the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, would also be involved.
Xu Lang smiled brightly, but his eyes were cold: "Not long after Chen Qinglong got these two gift boxes, your husband's company got the land next to the No. 7 Middle School, the best in the city. Although the housing complex in this school district has not yet been It’s capped, but it’s already sold out, and the price is the highest in Ninghai City. Your husband is making a fortune, hehe.”
Zheng Ru felt sweat on her forehead and felt hot all over. She reached out to turn off the spotlight, and her whole body felt bad.
Xu Lang leaned back on the chair and crossed his arms: "Secretary Zheng, can I leave?"
Zheng Ru stood up and walked to Xu Lang, grabbed his collar, bent down and gritted her teeth and said: "Xu Lang, I will go back to verify it later. If it turns out that you are framed, you will die ugly." !”
Xu Lang grabbed the beautiful secretary's hand and moved closer, their noses were about to touch: "Secretary Zheng, you still dare to threaten me, who gave you the courage? I warn you, think about it next time It’s not that easy to reconcile with me!”
"You!" Zheng Ru was so angry that she wanted to slap this guy, but before she could muster up the courage to do it, Xu Lang said again: "If you leave here, I will reveal your husband's secret to your colleagues. !”
"Son of a bitch!" While Zheng Ru was cursing, a chill rose from her tailbone. She held Xu Lang's handsome face with both hands and threatened in a low voice: "I'm going to make a call. If you dare to talk nonsense to my colleague, , I will kill you!"
After saying that, she pushed Xu Lang and walked quickly to the door.
The room returned to calm. Xu Lang took out the last cigarette and lit it. He took a deep puff, squinted his eyes and tasted it slowly. He felt that the taste of this cigarette was more fragrant than before.
Almost half an hour later, Zheng Ru opened the door and walked in. She locked the door. When she turned around, her face became even paler and her steps became very heavy.
Xu Lang watched her slowly walking over, and when she came to him, he asked: "How is it? Is it confirmed?"
Zheng Ru looked at Xu Lang with a little fear in her eyes, and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do, report me?"
"How could it be?" Xu Lang straightened his face and said, "Am I such a villain?"
Zheng Ru gritted her teeth and said, "We all work in a mixed system, so let's get straight to the point. What are your conditions?"
Xu Lang said: "I have no other conditions, as long as you let me go back to work."
"Really?" Zheng Ru couldn't believe it, because Xu Lang had indeed captured her destiny. Wouldn't he be a fool if he didn't put forward some conditions at this time?
"Really." Xu Lang said: "Secretary Zheng, don't think of me so bad. I did not collude with Chen Qinglong, and he is also a smart man. When he saw that I didn't want the benefits he gave me, he knew that I was not all the way. Man, he was already considering transferring me before the incident happened."
Zheng Ru crossed her arms and walked back and forth twice, touching her chin with her fingers. She seemed to have made up her mind. She came to Xu Lang and whispered: "I will treat you to dinner at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in our city tonight. Let's have a good time then." Talk, I will arrange for someone to take you back."
Xu Lang stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, give me the message after you book your seat. I still have my mobile phone with you, so leave me your number by the way."
