Li Yuanlang was restless all afternoon.

He checks every time the phone rings.

Unfortunately, it's all about work.

However, Meng Xianxin's phone number involves the whereabouts of Diao Xigui who he is concerned about.

After several days of unremitting investigation, finally there were clues of Diao Xigui in a town below Weining City, Ganning Province.

He once had herd sheep at a herder's house there, but he suddenly left without saying goodbye three days ago.

There are two possibilities here. One is that someone informed Diao Xigui in advance.

Another thing is that Diao Xigui is worried about being found by the police and dare not stay in one place for a long time.

But this also makes it more difficult for the police to search.

After all, Ganning Province is very large, and finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Li Yuanlang felt more and more that Diao Xigui must have problems.

Otherwise, why do you go to the remote Ganning Province and deliberately hide?

What secret is hidden in him?

All kinds of thoughts filled Li Yuanlang's brain, anxiety, anxiety and irritability surged into his heart.

Lying on the bed, I tossed and turned, I had no intention of resting.

I simply sat up, brewed a cup of hot tea, walked to the window with the tea cup, and looked into the distance.

At this moment, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Li Yuanlang's heart sank and walked over to check the call number.

It is the hope that Fang Zhongqi works on his mobile phone.

Li Yuanlang suddenly became nervous when he was using a landline, but he was using a mobile phone.

Slowly put down the tea cup, Li Yuanlong stabilized his emotions and answered calmly.

"Hello Fang Chu, I'm Li Yuanlang."

"Secretary Li, at 7 o'clock in the evening, Secretary Nie wants to invite you to dinner. I will pick you up at 6:30, please tell me the address?"

Although Fang Zhongqi still had a formal tone, it was always much better than before.

Putting down his phone, Li Yuanlang felt relieved and suddenly felt relaxed.

Nie Shuanghan invited him to a meal, which was enough to show that his words played a crucial role.

This time, Li Yuanlang had the right bet.

Before six months, Fang Zhongqi called Li Yuanlang and informed that the car had parked downstairs of the hotel.

This is a Passat with a regular license plate, and there is no surprise to see.

Moreover, Fang Zhongqi drove the car himself, and he didn't even show up.

After all, his identity is special, and once he appears, it will easily cause unnecessary troubles.

He doesn't know others, and others may know him.

Li Yuanlang was sitting in the passenger seat, and there were only two of them, which could leave a good impression on Fang Zhongqi.

The secretary of the municipal party committee is prominent in Lanqiao, but he is not easy to win in front of Director Fang.

Sitting in the back seat means treating him as a driver, which can easily arouse Fang Zhongqi's disgust.

If you make him unhappy, you will not be able to eat good results in the future.

It is exactly the old saying that making sugar is not sweet, but making vinegar is very sour.

In the car, Li Yuanlong and Fang Zhongqi did not communicate much.

The main reason is that I am not familiar with it. I would rather not say some polite words that are irrelevant.

The car was driving in downtown Keqi. It was already past the peak hours of get off work. There were still many vehicles on the road, and several red lights were blocked.

It was about 6:50, and it was opened into a wide yard on the outskirts of the city.

There are armed police guarding the door, but there is no sign to be seen.

It's almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The weather in the north is still very cold, the towering trees on both sides of the road are bare, and there is a layer of white snow on the ground.

The car turned around not long ago on the asphalt road and stopped in front of a gray three-story building.

Fang Zhongqi parked the car and led the way. The two walked in.

At the door, someone took Li Yuanlang's down jacket.

Stepping on the thick and soft carpet, stopping in front of a solid wood double door with gold edges.

Two waitresses wearing red coats and black trousers pushed the door open slowly.

The room is brightly lit, but the decoration is not luxurious but generous.

On the sofa, Nie Shuanghan sat upright, and opposite him, there were two people sitting, chatting and laughing.

Li Yuanlang looked closely and saw that one of them he knew was Guo Ziping, member of the Standing Committee of the Beijiang Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The man sitting in Guo Ziping's sagging hands was in his fifties, neither fat nor thin, but very stylish.

"Secretary Nie, Secretary Li Yuanlang, has arrived." Fang Zhongqi finished speaking, and left Li Yuanlang to give up Li Yuanlang.

"Yuan Long is here." Nie Shuanghan didn't move, but had a kind smile on his face, "Comrade Ziping, you are familiar with this. This is Comrade Zhou Jin."

Guo Ziping nodded slightly at Li Yuanlang and greeted him.

Zhou Jinze stood up and shook hands with Li Yuanlang.

Fang Zhongqi said at this moment: "Secretary, leaders, the meal is ready, please take the seat."

"Okay, let's have a meal and chat." Nie Shuanghan stood up and walked into the inner restaurant with Guo Ziping.

Li Yuanlang walked side by side with Zhou Jin.

When Nie Shuanghan introduced Zhou Jin, he only mentioned his name and did not reveal his official position. It must be inconvenient to say it now.

On the round table, Nie Shuanghan is in the middle, Guo Ziping on the left, Li Yuanlang on the right, and Zhou Jin is sitting on Guo Ziping's sagging hands.

Flowers are placed in the middle, and delicious dishes are lingering in circles.

I drank Maotai liquor.

Fang Zhongqi took the lead in filling Nie Shuanghan, and the rest of them poured their own.

Nie Shuanghan first said the opening remark, "I invite you tonight, one is to drink and the other is to talk about it."

Seeing this, Fang Zhongqi quit the restaurant and closed the door.

"We'll have this drink first."

At Nie Shuanghan's suggestion, several people drank the white wine in the nine-cent cup in one go.

Putting down the wine glass, Nie Shuanghan then pointed at Zhou Jin and introduced to Li Yuanlang, "Comrade Zhou Jin works in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and is also the leader of the task force."

As expected, Li Yuanlong had long been expected of this.

Moreover, Guo Ziping appeared to show that the theme of tonight's banquet was related to the discipline inspection.

"Comrade Ziping, you can talk first." Nie Shuanghan handed over the right to speak to Guo Ziping.

Guo Ziping corrected his body and said with a slight scrutiny: "In recent times, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has received many reports from localities, reflecting Zhongyou Company's illegal behavior."

"To this end, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Public Security Department specially set up a special task force with Comrade Zhou Jin as the group leader to conduct a secret investigation."

"Next, Team Leader Zhou Jin will report the clues you have so far to Secretary Nie."

Zhou Jin nodded, looked around and said, "Secretary Nie, Secretary Guo, and Secretary Yuen Long, after the preliminary investigation of the task force, the legal person and general manager of Zhongyou Company are the same person, named Yuan Zhongyou."

"The company was founded five years ago and has been involved in multiple fields. In such a short period of time, it has quickly accumulated wealth, made great progress and continued to grow."

"However, their success is not based on the benign foundation of fair competition. Instead, they are illegal and criminal means such as suppressing peers, excluding dissidents, forcing them to buy and sell, threatening and intimidating, and even hurting others. It can be said that every penny they earn is covered with other people's blood."

Li Yuanlang frowned and couldn't help asking: "Zhongyou Company is so rampant and its behavior is already involved in gangs. Isn't anyone care about it?"

Zhou Jin explained: "Secretary Yuen Long asked well. The reason why Zhongyou Company is arrogant is because the few shareholders they hide are not ordinary."

He immediately pronounced the names of three people, namely Mi Xiaolei, Wan Fanghua and Song Wu.

Li Yuanlang was unfamiliar with these three people, but when he mentioned their fatherhood, he was shocked!

Mi Xiaolei is the son of Mi Dazhi, Wan Fanghua is the daughter of Mayor Keqi Wan Jingtian, and Song Wu is the second son of Song Enxue.

In other words, these three people are veritable second-generation officials in Beijiang Province.

No wonder Li Yuanlang suddenly realized that when Nie Shuanghan talked to him, he specifically mentioned two people, Mi Dazhi and Song Enxue.

It turned out that Nie Shuanghan's words were actually testing him.

Fortunately, Li Yuanlong insisted on justice and his original intention of serving the people remained unchanged, without any hesitation or hesitation.
