West City Branch, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!
Bai Huan was smart. He refused to admit his crime at first, trying to delay time and wait for rescue from home. In the end, he had no choice but to insist that Xie Yan had voluntarily had sex with them and drugged him to increase the fun. But what kind of place is the Public Security Bureau? A bear can turn into a rabbit, not to mention that you are indeed a rabbit. In just a few rounds, Hong Hou's psychological defense was broken and he confessed what happened. Next was Hou Qiang. Geng Chao didn't say much nonsense. He took out the paperback version of the Criminal Law and turned to Article 160. Seeing that the crime of hooliganism could be sentenced to death at most, this guy who had just entered the circle of quasi-Yanei collapsed immediately and even confessed clearly who he bought the drugs from. This is an important link in establishing the chain of evidence. As soon as he heard Hou Qiang's description, Liu Tianlai knew who it was. This man is called Deng Zhanguo, nicknamed "Deng Zhanguo" and has a criminal record in the Public Security Bureau. As soon as the information was retrieved, Liu Tianlai said nothing and personally led people to catch the drug dealer and get his confession.
The evidence was irrefutable, and Bai Huan finally bowed his head and confessed everything honestly. After all the confessions of the suspects were obtained and signed, Liu Tianlai locked up several people separately, told the subordinates to keep watch, and pushed open the door of another room to go in. Wen Liang was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.
"I thought it would take some effort. Ha, these guys are such a bunch of cowards. This is the confession of Bai Huan and others. Combined with the testimonies of hotel employees, eyewitnesses, and Deng Zhanguo and others, they can corroborate each other and convict Bai Huan and others. It's foolproof! In fact, it doesn't matter even if Bai Huan doesn't plead guilty. With the existing evidence, he can't escape anyway."
Wen Liang picked it up, flipped through it, threw it on the table, and said with a smile: "All reactionaries are paper tigers! You are experts in this matter, I am completely relieved. Well, combine all the evidence, and you can set off later. I just hope that Mayor Bai is still awake, otherwise I am afraid he will have to crawl out of the warm bed."
Liu Tianlai was surprised and didn't feel like paying attention to Wen Liang's dry humor. He said, "I'll go alone?" He had always thought that he would invite Bai Changqian to the bureau, and then Wen Liang would deal with him personally. Although he thought this would be very difficult, he was deeply impressed by the last time Wen Liang persuaded Ji Zheng. A capable person can do anything, and maybe he could create another miracle.
"Of course not," Wen Liang said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Although Bai Changqian is not a very powerful figure, it won't work just relying on this one bargaining chip. Let me make a phone call first."
Wen Liang picked up the landline on the table and dialed a mobile number directly. Wen Huaiming's voice came from the receiver: "How is it?" Only Wen Liang would call this mobile number at this time.
Wen Liang whispered: "It's OK..."
Liu Tianlai looked rough on the outside but was actually very careful. He guessed that the person over there was either Zuo Yuxi or Xu Fuyan, so he held his breath quietly. The room was quiet, with only Wenliang's voice echoing.
"Yes, we caught him red-handed. The evidence is solid. There is absolutely no problem... Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang stared at Liu Tianlai quietly until he was a little scared. Then he smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, take the evidence to the Municipal Party Committee and go directly to the Secretary's Office. First, report to Secretary Xu about the specific situation tonight. After that, I will follow Secretary Xu's arrangements."
Liu Tianlai's eyes flashed, knowing that Wen Liang was giving him the opportunity to contact Xu Fuyan. After all, Wen Liang could go on his own for such a thing, and with his status he would probably be able to communicate better.
"Mr. Wen..."
"Uncle Liu, we have been on the same boat since the day we met. We share weal and woe, life and death. Maybe it's not appropriate to say this, but I have always believed so. Forget the polite words and make sure to seize this opportunity. As long as you can leave a good impression on Xu Fuyan, there will be less resistance when Sister Zuo proposes that you take over Zhao Xinchuan's position as director."
Since they met, they rarely spoke so openly and honestly. Wen Liang initially lacked trust in Liu Tianlai, but after several attempts, he began to let down his guard. Later, he was worried that Liu Tianlai might be unruly and disobey his orders, which might cause trouble. So he took advantage of the situation and repeatedly suppressed Liu Tianlai.
The two of them were so close yet so distant that Liu Tianlai was even a little afraid of Wen Liang. Until this moment, when he suddenly heard these words, Liu Tianlai was so excited that he stepped forward, held Wen Liang's hands, and said in a deep voice: "We share weal and woe, and we trust each other with life and death!"
After shaking his hand tightly three times, Wen Liang let go and laughed, "We are destined to be the winners. Don't be so sad. What I said just now was inappropriate. It should be said like this, 'Share the happiness and rise to the top'!"
Liu Tianlai laughed loudly, looking up to the sky: "That's right, we share the blessing and rise to the top!"
Half an hour later, everything was ready, and Wen Liang watched Liu Tianlai drive away from the second-floor window. Geng Chao brought in a box lunch, put it on the table, and looked at Wen Liang's back, feeling a lot of emotion.
Who would have thought that what happened tonight was actually related to this boy? Although Liu Tianlai did not introduce Wen Liang, he had previously told them that there was a powerful force behind the scenes, otherwise they would not have dared to abandon their future and follow Liu Tianlai to do such a big thing.
Could it be that the boy in front of me is the spokesperson for that force
Wen Liang heard the door open and stood still for a while before turning around with a smile on his face: "Director Geng, please sit down. Why are you standing?"
Geng Chao still couldn't figure out Wen Liang's background, but just by looking at Liu Tianlai's expression, he knew that he must not be disrespectful. He smiled and said, "We just ordered dinner from the restaurant nearby. It's not a very good meal. It's pork with garlic paste, bamboo shoots and bean curd, and a small bowl of pickled mustard and duck blood soup. I don't know what flavor you like..."
Wen Liang smiled and rubbed his hands, saying, "It's so sumptuous, all of which are my favorite dishes. Director Geng is so thoughtful, thank you very much. Please take a seat, Director Liu has to go out to do something, so it's a good opportunity for us to chat together."
Geng Chao sat down, watching Wen Liang eat with big mouthfuls of food, and opened his mouth to say something. He had been in the public security system for many years. When he first started working, Liu Tianlai was his leader, and he was promoted along the way. He was considered a direct descendant of the direct descendants, but he didn't know when Liu Tianlai met such a person, and even had his eyes on Deputy Mayor Bai.
The ups and downs of officialdom are unfathomable!
Wen Liang tasted a few bites of the dish, and while praising the chef's cooking skills, he asked, "How many years has Director Geng been in Xicheng? When did you meet Director Liu?"
"It's been almost two years. I just reported to the unit in 1982 and ran into Director Liu at the door. Oh no, at that time he hadn't gone to the Municipal Bureau yet. He was at the Jinger Road Police Station..."
Arriving at the gate of the Municipal Party Committee, Liu Tianlai saw Wen Huaiming standing at the door of the duty room looking outside as soon as he got off the car, and hurried to greet him. After dealing with Wen Liang for so long, he no longer dared to look down on Wen Huaiming, a small deputy director of the Policy Research Office. There were two guards on duty in the duty room. Wen Huaiming did not greet them, but simply nodded as a greeting, and turned to take him inside. After entering the office building, Wen Huaiming smiled and stretched out his right hand, saying, "Hello, Director Liu, I am Wen Huaiming, Secretary Xu is waiting upstairs, let's go up."
Liu Tianlai quickly stretched out his hand to hold it, shook it vigorously, and said in a humble manner: "I have heard of Director Wen's name for a long time. I have also read your article. It is really well written!" It is amazing that Liu Tianlai knew to mention the article to flatter a writer. However, given his personality, it is possible that he found the article and read it after getting to know Wen Liang, but it is very unreliable to say how much he could understand.
Wen Huaiming was originally a small figure. If he had been frustrated in the past, he would have been excited to the point of staying up all night when he met a powerful deputy director like Liu Tianlai who flattered him. However, he had recently followed Xu Fuyan to Guanshan and met many big figures, and had come into contact with some things at a deeper level. When he heard Liu Tianlai's words, he could take it calmly.
But he couldn't help laughing when he heard the words "I've heard a lot about you". Wen Huaiming said, "Director Liu, you're welcome. From now on, we are comrades in the same trench. We should help each other and work together to build a better future for Qingzhou under the leadership of Secretary Xu."
Liu Tianlai nodded in agreement, but he secretly complained in his heart: I am not as capable as my son. Young Master Wen's words of sharing happiness and rising to the top are more appealing to me, Old Liu...
At the office door, Wen Huaiming signaled Liu Tianlai to adjust his mood and get ready, then knocked on the door gently.
"Come in!"
Tonight, Xu Fuyan and Wen Huaiming rushed back overnight, so they naturally had no time to inform Zhang Fang. Since the secretary was not there, no one came to open the door. Wen Huaiming took one last look at Liu Tianlai, and waited for him to nod before turning the copper doorknob, and the door opened.
There are two worlds separated by a door.
Only from the outside to the inside can you know the heaven on earth!
No matter what, as long as you step through this door, just like what happened to Wen Huaiming that time, your life will start to be different from now on!
As soon as Wen Liang finished his meal, Geng Chao immediately handed him a stack of napkins. As the director of the branch, he did these trivial matters without any hesitation, and his demeanor was natural, meticulous and thoughtful, which was really surprising. Looking at Geng Chao's serious and dignified face, Wen Liang smiled slightly and thanked him. He did not feel disgusted with his scheming. As long as you are motivated, you are a useful person, and you will have the courage and determination to do things that others dare not do. Wen Liang is like this, Xu Fuyan is like this, Wen Huaiming, Liu Tianlai and even Zuo Yuxi are all like this.
What's more, Geng Chao has a keen eye and is a rare person. Wen Liang doesn't mind giving him a push when the opportunity arises.
So face is given by others, but opportunities are earned by yourself!
Time passed slowly, but no one was sleepy. Geng Chao had come in for the third time to add water to Wen Liang. The phone on the table finally started to ring. Wen Liang grabbed the receiver, his throat tightened, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Hello!"
After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang looked at the pale Geng Chao and said slowly: "We won!"
