That person turned out to be Huang Liwei.

When he faced Li Yuanlang, he was startled at first, and then smiled with an awkward expression and an unnatural expression.

Li Yuanlang felt something was wrong and was about to say hello.

The door of the Flower Visiting Hall opened, and a man walked out and asked Huang Liwei very respectfully: "Secretary Huang, have you finished the phone call? Everyone is waiting for you."

Secretary Huang?

Huang Liwei responded with a straight face: "When you meet an acquaintance, you go ahead and I'll go back later."

"Okay." The man nodded repeatedly and looked at Li Yuanlang carefully before entering.

"Yuen Long, are you okay?"

Li Yuanlang gave a wry smile, "He's still alive and hasn't been beaten to the ground."

"Oh." Huang Liwei nodded mechanically and pointed to the private room door, "I still have something to do, let's talk some other time."

"You should be busy, Huang...Secretary Huang." It was obviously inappropriate to call him Brother Huang again, so Li Yuanlang changed his tune.

"Don't call me that, call me Brother Huang, just like before."

"It seems that Brother Huang has been promoted?" Li Yuanlang became curious.

Huang Liwei said flatly: "It's not a high promotion, it's the same level as Peng Wang County Party Committee Secretary."

Li Yuanlang immediately raised his hands and clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations. Although they are all in the right position, Brother Huang is the number one. Peng Wang plays an important role in the districts and counties under the jurisdiction of Yunyang City. The previous secretaries basically all promoted the deputy department and the main department.

Brother Huang is young and has a bright future."

"I'd like to lend you some good words." Huang Liwei waved goodbye and walked back to the private room.

During this conversation, Li Yuanlang clearly felt that there was a distance between him and Huang Liwei.

I am just a little white boy, not even an official anymore.

On the other hand, Huang Liwei was promoted to county party secretary at a time of great success.

There is no comparison between the sky and the earth.

Others were promoted and he was demoted. The huge gap made Li Yuanlang no longer in the mood to drink.

He was alone and walked out of the Zhuangyuan Building with a lonely look.

I bought a bottle of liquor and a bag of peanuts at a small supermarket on the roadside, and drank some by myself back at the hotel.

Everyone will get drunk if they are not drunk with wine, let alone this kind of wine that relieves sorrow.

After drinking less than three ounces, Li Yuanlang felt dizzy.

I touched my phone and found Fang Wenya's number. I dialed it directly, but it prompted me to turn off the phone.

I saw that it was not yet half past nine in the evening, and officials’ mobile phones were required to be kept open 24 hours a day. Fang Wenya turned off her phone, so maybe she had turned it off for him on purpose.

After much thought, Li Yuanlang made up his mind that if he still couldn't contact Fang Wenya tomorrow, he would find another way and no longer count on Fang Wenya.

Under the stimulation of alcohol, Li Yuanlang couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, he was woken up by a cell phone ringing.

I answered the call in a daze without looking at the caller ID.

"Li Yuanlang, in ten minutes, there will be a Hongqi car in the parking lot downstairs. You can get in and don't ask anything. I guarantee you can see Tingyue."

Fang Wenya still had her old habit of limiting the time and hanging up the phone without explaining clearly. Li Yuanlang was confused and had to do as she asked.

He got up immediately and washed his face with cold water to ensure that he was awake.

Get dressed quickly and hurried downstairs.

Sure enough, there was a black Hongqi car in the parking lot. Looking at the license plate number, it turned out to be Shui Qingzhang's car.

No more thinking, as long as he could see Shui Tingyue and his son Gu Yu, Li Yuanlang would not hesitate to get in the car even if it was full of ammunition.

After Li Yuanlang sat firmly in the red flag car, the driver turned the steering wheel and drove out slowly.

The road turned left and right, and finally drove onto the Ring Expressway, directly out of Yunyang City.

Li Yuanlang murmured in his heart, but couldn't ask.

As Shui Qingzhang's chauffeur, you are not allowed to talk nonsense.

He had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart, burying all the question marks in his heart without saying a word.

The red flag car drove for about an hour and entered a nursing home.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side, the scenery is beautiful and like a painting.

There are armed police guarding the entrance of the nursing home, and they will let you in immediately after seeing the license plate number.

The car is driving on a quiet asphalt road with towering trees, far away from the city and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, giving you a feeling of relaxation and joy.

After walking for less than ten minutes, we finally stopped in front of a three-story gray building.

Li Yuanlang opened the door and got out of the car. A young woman wearing a light gray professional skirt came to the door and led Li Yuanlang in with gestures.

The decoration inside is simple and elegant, and there are not many people there. There are only three or two people, and occasionally there are staff members wearing the same clothes as the women.

This kind of sanatorium is different from a hospital. It provides guests with rest, tranquility, and comfort. It does not have the messy and busy scene of a hospital.

After taking the elevator to the third floor of the building, the woman led Li Yuanlang around a circle and came to a solid wooden door, beckoning Li Yuanlang to go in.

After the woman left, Li Yuanlang straightened his clothes, took a deep breath and adjusted himself, then raised his right hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times.

On the way here, he had already decided that no matter how Shui Tingyue treated him, he would accept it.

If you are wrong, you are wrong. No matter how much punishment you bear, the facts will not change.

After knocking on the door, I heard a familiar voice coming from inside, saying only one word: "Come in."

Li Yuanlang was very puzzled. He opened the door and took a look. As expected, there was only one person standing in front of the window with his back to him in the living room.

Just by looking at the back, you can tell that this person is not Shui Tingyue, but Shui Qingzhang.

No wonder it was his special car that came to pick him up.

Fang Wenya falsely conveyed the imperial edict because it was not Shui Tingyue who agreed to meet him, but Shui Qingzhang who wanted to meet him.

At this time, Shui Qingzhang still did not turn around, his back was still facing Li Yuanlang.

"Have your father's funeral affairs been settled?" He asked in a calm voice without any emotion.

"After it's done, we will send it to the capital to be buried with my mother." Li Yuanlang answered simply, with the same calm tone.

"Yeah." Shui Qingzhang snorted and sighed, "Your matter is almost finalized. You must be prepared to leave Donghe Province. This is good for you, Xiaoyue and Guyu."

Although he had been mentally prepared for it, Li Yuanlang's heart still couldn't help but "thump" when he heard Shui Qingzhang say this.

He originally thought that he would be demoted to a remote place, but he never thought that he would be transferred out of Donghe Province. This news came too suddenly and unexpectedly.

"Shui, Deputy Secretary Shui, can you tell me where I will go?"

Upon hearing Li Yuanlang's inquiry, Shui Qingzhang slowly turned around and said with a stern face: "Where you go depends on your performance today. If your performance is satisfactory, your destination will not be too bad."

The meaning of the second half of what he left was very obvious. If Li Yuanlang caused Shui Qingzhang's displeasure, then his destination would definitely be unsatisfactory.

It's just that he doesn't know what Shui Qingzhang means by his words and what he wants him to do.

"Deputy Secretary Shui, I don't know what you are referring to?"

Shui Qingzhang walked slowly to the sofa and sat down. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the coffee table and held it in his mouth. Li Yuanlang instinctively took out a lighter to light it for him.

Shui Qingzhang ignored the flames in front of him, lit it with his own lighter, and took a deep breath.

This made Li Yuanlang very embarrassed.

After taking a few sips, Shui Qingzhang said seriously to Li Yuanlang: "I will take you to see Xiaoyue later. She has postpartum depression and is receiving treatment and recuperation here."

"She is extremely emotionally unstable and can't stand any stimulation. We have been keeping your story secret and she doesn't know anything about it. So I ask you not to say a word, but to remain as you were before, caring about her, enlightening her, and accommodating her.

"

Li Yuanlang was shocked. He never imagined that Shui Tingyue would get such a disease.

Shui Qingzhang continued: "Li Yuanlang, this is what I ask of you. To be honest, if Xiaoyue hadn't named you and wanted to see you, I would never have let you meet in this life."

"You must seize this opportunity and don't let me down. With your current status, offending me will not do you any good. My appreciation and cultivation of you before were based on the relationship between you and Xiaoyue. Now

This relationship no longer exists, and you have done something wrong that is unbearable for me and my family. I will be stricter with you."

"I might as well tell you that when the Discipline Inspection Commission investigated you and demoted you to the rank of clerk, they fully listened to my opinions and implemented them. You can bear grudge against me, but you cannot transfer this grudge to Xiaoyue."

"She still has a deep love for you and regards you as her most trusted and closest person. She has asked me to see you again and again."

"I made this decision after weighing it over and over again. Li Yuanlang, you must remember my words."
