Hearing the knock on the door outside, Xiao Qun immediately walked out. Seeing his daughter changing her shoes, she asked in a low voice, "Why did it take so long?"
Xiao Hongyan put on her slippers, moved to the sofa and sat down. She sighed and said, "Dad, you thought you wanted to take advantage of Xu Lang, but you didn't expect that he would take advantage of you. Don't think about harming him in the future. You can't afford to offend this person."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Qun's expression changed drastically. He looked at the door and said, "Go to the study and talk."
When she came to the study room, although Xiao Hongyan smoked, she was still smelled by the pungent smoke and hurriedly opened the window.
"Sit down and tell me carefully, what did Xu Lang say to you?"
Xiao Hongyan sat outside the desk, thought for a moment, then looked at her father and said, "Dad, Xu Lang asked me to ask you, who is the little cat on the city TV station?"
When Xiao Qun heard this, his expression suddenly changed. The teacup he had just picked up fell to the desk with a "pop". Fortunately, it was not too high. The teacup was not broken, but some of the tea was knocked out.
Xiao Hongyan sneered: "Why, is it really true?"
Xiao Qun forced himself to remain calm and did not answer his daughter's sensitive question. Instead, he exclaimed, "How did he know?"
Xiao Hongyan was speechless. It seemed that her father had brought it on himself. This was confirmed, and the remaining respect she had for her father was gone.
She didn't want to say anything more, so she stood up and said, "Don't mess with Xu Lang anymore and go to bed early."
After his daughter left, Xiao Qun started smoking again. In the smoke, his eyes gradually projected a murderous look.
Being threatened by a small deputy director is tantamount to exposing Xiao Qun's negative side, which is a taboo in officialdom.
Since Xu Lang dares to make threats, it means that he will reveal these secrets once he encounters the right opportunity. By then, he, Xiao Qun, will not even have a chance to fight back.
The next day was the weekend. Xu Lang got up early, went downstairs and got into Shi Fenglan's BMW.
After breakfast, Xu Lang drove his BMW on the highway and went straight to Pingnan City, the provincial capital.
Two hours later, the BMW drove to a stop outside the Western restaurant diagonally opposite the gate of the Liuchuan County Party Committee. This was where Shi Fenglan and Zheng Ru met.
To Xu Lang's surprise, Zheng Ru was already waiting for him. When she saw him entering, she immediately stood up and waved.
Xu Lang walked over and sat across from Zheng Ru. He looked at her face and said, "You don't look good. It seems you are not happy here."
Zheng Ru raised her head and looked at him, her tone cold: "It's good to know, Xu Lang, you are my nemesis!"
Xu Lang was stunned: "This... where do we start?"
Zheng Ru said: "Since I gave you that card, you have been transferred here. Do you think it is my nemesis?"
"No!" Xu Lang said, "To be precise, I am your savior."
"Ha." Zheng Ru sneered: "You are really thick-skinned."
Xu Lang took a sip of coffee, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Secretary Zheng, if it were another person, the card would have either ended up in the hands of the Discipline Inspection Commission or been swallowed, and I have neither admitted to the Discipline Inspection Commission that I received your card." , and have no intention of doing so."
Having said this, he took out the bank card and pushed it in front of Zheng Ru: "The card is here, and the money in it is a lot."
Zheng Ru looked at the bank card, and her tone was not only cold, but also filled with resentment: "What, do you think I will be grateful to you if you return the card to me?"
Xu Lang leaned back and said, "It's not important. At least I have a clear conscience. By the way, your husband Hong Tao was arrested by the police last night. Do you know this?"
"What?" Zheng Ru was shocked: "What did he commit? Why should we arrest him?"
"He framed me." Xu Lang said.
Zheng Ru was stunned: "It's you again!"
Xu Lang spread his hands and said, "Yes, because he has been targeting me and always wanted to kill me. Unfortunately, he is too ignorant and did not kill me. Instead, he got himself sent to the police station."
Zheng Ru was very nervous and changed her previous indifference: "Tell me quickly, what is going on?"
When her husband was arrested, what Zheng Ru was most worried about was that if he was forced to confess and tell something detrimental to her, then she would really never be able to turn over.
"This is what happened." Xu Lang was about to say it, but Zheng Ru suddenly stopped her. She looked around and whispered: "There are many people here talking, so it's better to find a quiet place to talk."
Xu Lang said: "Then you choose a place. I'm not familiar with this place."
Zheng Ru's beautiful face turned red and she said, "Let's go to the hotel. I'll get a room first. You wait here for my news."
Xu Lang smiled and nodded, thinking of the last time this beautiful woman boldly sacrificed herself, thinking, does she still want to do it?
Zheng Ru had just arrived here not long ago and knew very few people, so she generously checked into the best hotel in the county without any psychological burden.
About twenty minutes later, Zheng Ru sent the hotel and room number to Xu Lang.
The best hotel in the county is only three stars, but the decoration is passable.
Xu Lang entered the room and closed the door. Zheng Ru was already making tea.
After sitting down, Zheng Ru placed the tea cup in front of Xu Lang, then sat opposite him and said, "You can talk now."
Xu Lang began to recount what happened last night in detail. When Zheng Ru heard that it was her husband Hong Tao who instigated Feng Gaoqiang to use his wife as bait to frame Xu Lang, she was livid with anger.
After finally finishing speaking, Xu Lang took a sip of tea and said, "That's what happened. Hong Tao, Feng Gaoqiang and Cao Li were all taken into custody by the Public Security Bureau for interrogation. They are currently in the confidentiality stage, so you have not been notified."
Zheng Ru looked down at the tea cup, the fingers of her hands were entangled with each other. It was obvious that she felt very uncomfortable.
"I really didn't expect that he would be someone else's fault and do such an embarrassing thing. How can he have the face to see others in the future?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red. She raised her head and looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Will you forgive him?"
"No." Xu Lang said resolutely: "It can be seen from this incident that Hong Tao's character is really unflattering. For the sake of profit, he will do anything. If I forgive such a person, he will It will harm more people.”
Zheng Ru sniffed and used a tissue to print the corners of her eyes: "You're right, even I didn't expect that he would become like this. He was not this kind of person before."
Xu Lang said: "Environments can change people. Since you have been separated from him for a long time, you probably don't know him well either."
"This is the crux of the problem." Zheng Ru agreed: "You are right."
Xu Lang stopped talking about this topic, hesitated for a moment and asked, "How are you doing here?"
