"Brother, Qingrou, she was reprimanded by my father. Her mobile phone was confiscated and she was not allowed to go out for half a month."

What!

Li Yuanlang was shocked, how could this be?

"Wang Song, why does your father treat Qingrou so harshly?"

"I don't know." Wang Song shook his head like a rattle, looking helpless.

Li Yuanlang believed that Wang Song would not lie or conceal anything.

He was not interested in official matters to begin with. People who engage in academic research are like this and like to live in their own world.

"Brother, I came to see you secretly behind Dad's back today. I have to go back quickly to avoid being discovered by Dad, and I won't be able to get out."

"Okay." Li Yuanlang nodded, and when he sent Wang Song to the door, he reluctantly asked: "Did Qingrou give me a message?"

Wang Song smiled bitterly, "I haven't seen her for several days."

Li Yuanlang patted Wang Song on the shoulder and saw that he disappeared from sight, but he was still in no hurry to return to the room.

No wonder there was no news from my sister for several days, and Wang Minghong put her in solitary confinement.

Why is this?

It must be related to what I begged for.

But Li Yuanlang couldn't understand why Wang Minghong had such a big reaction?

Thinking about this punishment for my daughter-in-law, it must be because my sister touched the reverse scale.

What kind of reverse scale is it? Li Yuanlang's head was so big that he couldn't figure out the reason.

It was getting late, so Li Yuanlang washed his face and got ready, and contacted Shen Fang and Zhang Wei respectively.

Shen Fang is busy with work and has no time for dinner.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei could spare the time, so Li Yuanlang decided to treat Zhang Wei to dinner in the evening.

After the dinner, we had tea with Shen Fang.

After not seeing each other for several years, Zhang Weiren has gained weight and his face is shiny. The only thing that remains unchanged is his cheerful personality.

After shaking hands with Li Yuanlang and exchanging pleasantries, the two walked into the wine table.

The roast duck restaurant ordered by Li Yuanlang is a century-old restaurant, and there is usually an endless stream of customers.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, there are fewer tourists and out-of-towners, and there are not many customers in the store.

Because he had a private conversation to discuss, Li Yuanlang chose a private room.

After sitting firmly, Zhang Wei took out his cigarette and Li Yuanlang waved his hand, "I quit."

"It's good to quit smoking, but it's not like me. I quit several times, but every time I relapse, the amount of cigarettes increases."

Li Yuanlang took a sip of tea and understood: "Reporters like you often rush to publish. Without this thing to refresh yourself, you will have no inspiration."

"The person who knows me is Secretary Li." Zhang Wei puffed out a puff of smoke.

At this time, the ordered dishes were brought to the table one by one. Li Yuanlang suggested drinking liquor, but Zhang Wei did not refuse.

After a glass of wine, Li Yuanlang got down to business and mentioned the origin of Zhang Wei's commentator article in the Citizen Daily.

"I received an assignment from the newspaper, and after two days of rushing and polishing, I came up with the article." Zhang Wei put away his smile and said seriously: "Not long ago, a well-known scholar mentioned three things."

"The first one said that all the children of leading cadres go into finance. They are unwilling to be workers, teachers, scientists, let alone officials. They all go to the financial field. This phenomenon needs attention and should be thought about deeply."

"The second thing is that he pointed out the main body of our economic structure and mentioned the shortcomings of the composition of listed companies."

"There is also a third one. He raised the issue of fairness and justice in our financial field. All in all, his words have attracted the attention of the higher authorities. This article of mine serves as a starting point."

"Secretary Li, you know that our Citizen Daily is the mouthpiece, and every move, word and deed we reflect has a great warning effect."

"Once this article appeared, it actually warned some people to pay attention. If anyone doesn't know how to stop at this time, the consequences will be serious."

Li Yuanlang was silent in thought.

He suddenly understood the essence of Shen Fang's words, "Bai Qing is in trouble."

As Zhang Wei said, Citizen Daily is the mouthpiece, and what it represents is the purpose of the higher-ups.

In fact, since he married Bai Qing, Li Yuanlang rarely interfered with Bai Qing's business.

It is undeniable that Bai Qing is very rich, spending hundreds of millions without blinking an eye.

; Over the years, Li Yuanlang spent all his own salary, and Bai Qing didn't give him much money.

The reason why Li Yuanlang is incorruptible is that he has no pursuit of material things, and the most important reason is that he has no shortage of money to spend.

Compared with some corrupt officials, Li Yuanlang has a natural advantage.

However, from Zhang Wei's mouth, he also felt a hint of worry.

He had previously persuaded Bai Qing to give up her business and concentrate on accompanying her father-in-law and taking care of her family and children.

Bai Qing also agreed.

Now it seems that it is not as simple as he thought.

After more than an hour after the meal, Zhang Wei suddenly received a call from the club and had to end it early due to something unexpected.

Sitting in the private room, Li Yuanlang contacted Shen Fang.

It was agreed that half an hour later, they would meet at a teahouse designated by Shen Fang.

As a result, Li Yuanlang waited for him for nearly an hour before Shen Fang showed up.

As soon as he came in, he grabbed the tea cup on the table and drank it in one gulp, apologizing again and again, "I kept you waiting for a long time. There are too many things to do, and I won't be able to get out of here for a while."

Li Yuanlang filled his tea cup and said calmly: "It's okay, I know you are busy."

Shen Fang drank another gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "Time is limited, I'll keep the story short."

"As far as I know, Bai Qing has connections with at least fifteen listed companies. Among all the children of leaders, she can be ranked in the top ten."

"Yuen Long, this is not a rich list, nor is it a show of who is rich and who is glorious. You have already met Zhang Wei from the Citizen Daily before you came here, so you must know how seriously the above matter takes this matter."

"To be honest, they don't see how much money you make, but how disruptive you are to the financial sector."

"So I would like to advise you to have a good talk with your wife and give up what should be given up. For no other reason, you are now a government official, but your wife uses her special status to do business. This is also extremely detrimental to you. of."

"Also, for now, I feel that this time I have made up my mind and have to rectify it. Think about how serious this matter is."

Listening to Shen Fang's heartfelt words, Li Yuanlang quickly knitted his brows into a knot.

After a while, he picked up the teacup and offered it to Shen Fang, "Director Shen, thank you for reminding me. I know what to do."

The word "serious" was mentioned by Zhang Wei and mentioned by Shen Fang, which is enough to show that it should attract Li Yuanlang's attention.

That night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

When Xiao Lan arrived at Chuzhong City on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, she saw at first glance that Li Yuanlang had not rested well.

"It's because of the change of place." Li Yuanlang said perfunctorily and asked Xiaolan to send him to the villa where Shui Qingzhang lived first.

Xiaolan didn't ask any questions and drove the car directly to Shui Qingzhang's place.

Li Yuanlang first visited his son Gu Yu and asked about his study situation.

While the two men were talking, Shui Qingzhang slowly walked in with his hands behind his back and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"It's been a while." Li Yuanlang touched Gu Yu's head and told him to study well, and then followed Shui Qingzhang into the study.

Shui Qingzhang’s daily life is very regular.

Get up early and practice Tai Chi in the yard. In the morning, I practice calligraphy in the study room to cultivate my body and mind.

After lunch, take a nap, supervise Gu Yu’s study, and talk to him.

Having three meals a day without any worries, Shui Qingzhang's face is rosy and he is in good spirits. The most important thing is that he has gained a few pounds, his body is no longer stooped, and he has gradually become taller and taller.

"Sit down." As soon as he came in, Shui Qingzhang pointed to the sofa opposite the recliner, and he sat on the recliner.

"You are so anxious to see me, what emergency happened in the capital?" Without Gu Hongyan to take care of him, Shui Qingzhang picked up the pipe again and filled it with tobacco. Li Yuanlang took the lighter from the table and lit it for him.

Turning off the lighter, Li Yuanlang returned to his original position and told Shui Qingzhang the general situation of his conversation with Zhang Wei and Shen Fang, as well as his sister being detained by Wang Minghong.

He smoked his pipe, thought deeply for a long time, and said slowly: "You are talking about two things, but they should be summed up into one, that is, the Lu family's predicament is much more serious than I imagined."

Li Yuanlang deeply felt the same, "Yeah, it seems unrelated, but actually the swords pointed at are all related to the Lu family."

"It's just that I never understand why Wang Minghong is so harsh on my sister?"
