When he woke up, it was just dawn. After Chen Mingyuan struggled to get up, he looked around and found that he was in the ward.

"Yeah, you woke up so soon."

A pretty nurse just walked in, looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "I thought you would be unconscious for at least a day, and your complexion will recover in a blink of an eye, but it's no wonder that your first aid measures are so good."

Chen Mingyuan tried to move his body. Although he was still weak, he didn't feel dizzy like yesterday. Thinking of the shocking scene yesterday, he still has lingering fears in his heart.Looking at the dilapidated ward again, thinking it was in the hospital in Xianyun Town, he asked, "Who sent me here?"

While changing the infusion bottle, the nurse said, "Aren't you your friend?" Seeing him shaking his head, he said, "Oh, she is a lady, she is very beautiful, and she treats you very well. Helping you suck the poisoned blood, our director was stunned when he heard that, for being so affectionate and righteous to you, you really have to thank him later!"

Thinking of her resolutely sucking poisonous blood for himself, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help falling into silence. Who would have thought that such a graceful and beautiful woman would be so bold and fierce.

"Then where is she now?"

"Seeing that you're all right, she's leaving."

"Did you leave a message?"

"No, let him rest well."

Chen Mingyuan nodded, but felt that this woman was surprisingly free and easy. From the corner of his eye, he found a piece of blue shirt on the bedside table. She presumably tore it off the shirt yesterday and used it to bind her legs. Holding it in front of me, there is still a faint fragrance like musk deer and orchid, and a woman in blue shirt with a smile like a flower appears in front of my eyes...

…………

In the afternoon, Chen Mingyuan had another check-up. After confirming that he was fine, he was discharged from the hospital ahead of schedule. He went to the village of the She nationality first. While picking up the car, he asked the young man about the situation of the woman.

Qing Zhuang didn't know anything about her, he only said that after Mr. Qiao settled here, she would visit him once or twice a year.

Chen Mingyuan didn't pursue him any more, as the woman said, it was just a chance meeting, there was no need to be too deliberate, if there was a chance to meet again, just thank her again.

After driving back to Lishan City, Chen Mingyuan found an opportunity to truthfully tell Ning Lizhong the news of Mr. Qiao's death.

Perhaps out of a sliver of trust in that woman, he didn't tell the story of meeting her.

The moment he heard the bad news, Ning Lizhong's face turned pale. After closing his eyes, he said with difficulty: "Did he say anything before he left?"

"The villagers said that Joe passed away peacefully and was buried with his lover, and he also said...he has long since let go of it."

Chen Mingyuan took out the scroll, handed it over and said, "This is entrusted to you by Mr. Qiao before his death."

Ning Lizhong took the scroll, unfolded it to look at it, and whispered: "The green bamboo rises from the ground, and it can be the pillar of the country..."

His shoulders trembled, he took a deep breath, and waved his other hand, indicating that he wanted to be alone.

Chen Mingyuan knew that he needed time and space to calm down, so he immediately withdrew.

He could see that Ning Lizhong felt deeply guilty towards Mr. Qiao. Combined with the words of the woman in the blue shirt, it was likely that during the power struggle during the Great Revolution, Ning Lizhong did not advance and retreat with Mr. Qiao, and could only watch helplessly. Seeing Qiao's old decline has led to his uneasy mood so far.

It is difficult for Chen Mingyuan to express any opinion on this. After all, it is all old things. How can he explain the details clearly in a few words, not to mention that **** is cruel, and many things are often beyond his control. If Ning Lizhong had chosen to advance and retreat with Mr. Qiao, at most he would have gained an impression of loyalty and bravery in the eyes of a few insiders. However, the world will lose an official who can benefit hundreds of millions of people from now on.

Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to balance, perhaps this is the reason.

This episode did not stay in the lives of the two for too long, and soon, a major event followed without warning.

"Mingyuan, go and inform Song Yang and the others that our itinerary will be changed."

Ning Lizhong looked dignified, with anxiety on his brows: "Before going back to Qiantang, let's go to Yongcheng first."

Chen Mingyuan was puzzled, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements. Should I notify the main leaders of the Yongcheng Municipal Party Committee first?"

Ning Lizhong said solemnly: "It is enough to inform Chang Shuxin and Wang Lei, and let them keep quiet."

Chen Mingyuan went out to make arrangements. After Song Yang heard the news, he was a little embarrassed. After all, the itinerary suddenly changed, and many things scheduled by the Provincial Party Committee had to be disrupted, but it seemed that Ning Lizhong had something important to go to Yongcheng , and agreed to communicate and coordinate with Du Chunping.

Back in the room, Ning Lizhong was sitting on a chair, holding a letter of materials in his hand, his face was cloudy, and when he heard Chen Mingyuan asking when to leave, he said, "I'm going to Yongcheng today, there's no delay!"

Ning Lizhong threw the materials in his hand on the coffee table, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and pondered, raised his hand and said, "Look at this, it's the clues that the Municipal Bureau found from that snakehead in the past two days."

Chen Mingyuan picked up the materials and flipped through them, his eyebrows furrowed immediately.

The old seventh actually didn’t have a very strong background, he was nothing more than an intermediary to earn a little profit. During the interrogation by the Lishan police, he confessed that he first brought people to Yongcheng and handed them over to a big snakehead over there. Smuggling out, it is said that the snake head is very powerful in Yongcheng, black and white are both black and white, in addition to smuggling people, he is also engaged in the smuggling business of many goods, when he once drank with the snake head's men, the other party boasted about himself His boss is backed by the municipal party committee, so the so-called customs is nothing in their eyes!

This point immediately attracted the attention of the Lishan police, and directly reported it to Secretary Pan, Mayor Qi, officials related to Yongcheng and customs smuggling. The two did not dare to delay, and immediately reported to Ning Lizhong.

"It's unreasonable, the local officials are colluding with the smuggling gang, what kind of team does Chang Shuxin lead!"

Ning Lizhong patted the coffee table, bursting into anger.

Smuggling not only affects national tax revenue, impacts domestic industry and commerce, and disrupts the order of the socialist market economy, but also endangers national security, damages national sovereignty and dignity, and breeds corruption. It is extremely harmful economically and politically. It is a crime that focuses on cracking down, and Yongcheng is also a vital trading port of China. If there is a large-scale smuggling crime colluding with government and businessmen, the evil nature will be incalculable!

As the head of a province, if such a shocking case breaks out under his rule, Ning Lizhong will also bear the blame.

Chen Mingyuan thought for a while, and suggested: "After all, it is the nonsense of the smuggling leader drunk. I don't know how true it is. You might as well investigate secretly first."

Ning Lizhong nodded: "But don't say anything, it's best to find out the situation of the snake head secretly, so as not to startle the snake."

"For the time being, you can only contact Wang Lei, including Chang Shuxin, and you must keep it strictly confidential!"

Chen Mingyuan has a clear mind. If the situation is true, the officials involved must be quite powerful. Therefore, anyone in the municipal party committee is now suspicious, and it is hard to guarantee that Chang Shuxin will not be related to it.

Wang Lei is different, he just went to Yongcheng to take office not long ago, he has little connection with the local forces, and has been with Ning Lizhong for many years, basically reliable.

Chen Mingyuan looked through the confession materials again. According to the old seventh, he had no contact with the smuggling boss in Yongcheng. By chance, I just witnessed the smuggling leader sitting in the car and memorized the license plate number of the other party!

So, let's start with the license plate number and check it out.

…………

Ning Lizhong acted resolutely, and left Lishan City on the same day. After nearly four hours' drive, he arrived at Yongcheng, the second largest city in Dongjiang.

Perhaps because he learned about the tragic experience of his colleagues in Lishan City, Chang Shuxin, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was a bachelor and took four or five officials to wait at the intersection. He even saved the police car from clearing the road, and led the bus directly to Yongcheng Hotel. settle down.

As the night was getting dark, after dinner, Ning Lizhong summoned Secretary Chang and other key members of the municipal party committee, and after some brief inquiries, he closed the door to thank the guests, leaving only the deputy mayor, Wang Lei.

Because all the officials in Yongcheng knew that Wang Lei was Ning Lizhong's former secretary, it was rare to come to inspect it, and it was absolutely necessary to talk about the past alone, so they didn't worry about it.

"Wang Lei, you've been here for more than three months, are you still used to it?"

Facing Wang Lei, Ning Lizhong was much more approachable. After all, he was his secretary who had been loyal to him for several years. This kind of intimacy was not easy to give up.

"Thanks to Secretary Ning's concern, although I was a little uncomfortable at first, but now I have gradually straightened out my work."

Wang Lei bowed and said respectfully: "This is inseparable from the support and care of me from Secretary Chang and other comrades, and it is even more inseparable from your support and assistance to me!"

Chen Mingyuan smiled. You know, Wang Lei is Ning Lizhong's direct descendant and confidant. When he came to Yongcheng to work, it was too late to make friends with him. How many officials dared to trip him up.

In other words, as long as Ning Lizhong is in power in Dongjiang for one day, Wang Lei will not make a big mistake, and his official career will be prosperous!

Ning Lizhong encouraged: "That's good. You have been by my side for so long, and I can still trust your ability. It is your first time to work in a local area, and your experience is still inexperienced. You should learn more from local comrades and be down-to-earth." Work, really make some achievements."

Wang Lei solemnly agreed.

Ning Lizhong's demeanor gradually turned solemn: "Before coming, how did Mingyuan communicate with you?"

Wang Lei took out a stack of materials from his briefcase, handed them over, and said, "It's almost done. I tried not to disturb others, and checked the license plate number myself. It belongs to a local ocean trading company named Zhida."

Chen Mingyuan's face couldn't help changing, and he said in surprise, "Zhida Trading? Liu Zhida!"

At the recent gathering, knowing that Liu Ting wanted her family to support Chang Junlong's business, Chen Mingyuan then inquired about Liu Ting's family situation. Her father's company was Zhida Trading!

Is Liu Ting's family suspected of smuggling? !
