The old director is actually not old. A man of fifty-five years old looks like he is still under fifty.

The reason why everyone calls him Lao Director is because his surname is Lao. In the Qinghe dialect, Lao and Lao have the same pronunciation. Over time, Director Lao has become Lao Director. Even the municipal party committee secretary and mayor have to give him the "respectful title" when they meet him.

Old Chief.

The old director's surname is Lao and his given name is Chenggui. He is also a well-known figure in Qinghe City.

In Xiang Tianliang's mind, the old director is a man with a story.

Returning the three notebooks to the old director was a kind of risk, and it was also a gamble with one's own future.

The lesser of two evils, Xiang Tianliang considered this matter repeatedly. Only "communicating" directly with the old director was the option with the least risk to him.

Ye Nan got out of the car first and walked into the old director's house.

Li Yajuan sat silently in the back seat. Obviously she was still a little confused. She was really unwilling to return the notebook to the old director so easily.

Of course, Li Yajuan was not confused. She had to admit that this was the best choice for Xiang Tianliang.

"Sister Li, don't be upset, okay?"

"I'm not unhappy."

"Then you smile."

Li Yajuan smiled reluctantly.

"Sister Li, you are not smiling at all. It is even uglier than crying."

Li Yajuan stretched out her hand and pinched Xiang Tianliang's arm, "Don't worry, Sister Li is a sensible person. As long as it is good for you, Sister Li will support you."

"Thank you, Sister Li. I know that Sister Li is the best to me." Xiang Tianliang lost no time in complimenting her.

Li Yajuan glared at Tianliang, "If you say one thing and do another, why are you still beating me?"

"Hehe, isn't this, isn't it a joke?" Xiang Tianliang salivated.

"Then how can you thank me?"

"Sister Li, tell me, I will thank you as much as you want me to."

"Is this true?"

"It must be serious."

Li Yajuan rushed towards Tianliang, glanced at her, and muttered, "You brat, if you regret it, see how I deal with you."

Ye Nan came out from the old director's house.

"At dawn, the old director will let you in. He is waiting for you in the study."

Ye Nan did not follow, Xiang Tianliang went in alone.

In the autumn morning, the wind was a bit cold, which made Xiang Tianming feel much refreshed after not sleeping all night.

Coming to see the leader so early in the morning was a bit special. Xiang Tianliang entered the living room, looked to see that no one was there, and went directly to the study.

The old director, wrapped in his coat, was sitting at his desk, looking at the bookshelf filled with books.

"Director, I'm here." He knocked gently on the door and stood respectfully at the door.

"Ah, it's Xiao Xiang, come in, come in."

Lao Chenggui turned his chair, with a smile on his face, and looked at Xiang Tianliang with kind eyes.

"Director, you are in good health. Everyone misses you."

"Um, really?"

"Yes, you are not in the game, and we are leaderless."

"Haha, Xiaoxiang, you are very good at talking."

Lao Chenggui nodded approvingly and glanced at Xiang Tianliang again.

Xiang Tianliang felt a chill in his heart. His gaze was not all gentle and drizzle, but also a little chilly and sharp.

It is said that Lao Chenggui is very powerful. He not only has people in the city, but also provincial leaders and a few people who can speak. After such a big incident, he can still remain unshakable and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. No wonder he has been on the Diaoyutai.

Director Xie of the Municipal Public Security Bureau also had nothing to do with him.

"Director, I brought the things."

Xiang Tianliang took a step forward and gently placed the notebook in his hand on the desk in front of Lao Chenggui.

"Xiaoxiang, thank you, you have worked hard."

He said thanks, but his face showed no expression. Xiang Tianliang wondered what Lao Chenggui was feeling now.

"Director, I think, I think this is what I should do."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because I am a member of the Construction Bureau, I have the responsibility and obligation to maintain the stability and unity of the Construction Bureau."

Lao Chenggui nodded slightly, lit a cigarette, and slowly smoked it.

While Lao Chenggui was lighting up his cigarette, Xiang Tianliang quickly took a look at the layout of the study. He saw clearly that there was a thin white wire coming out of the gap in the light switch that was pulled by the window.

Arriving at a drawer of the desk, Xiang Tianliang concluded that there should be a tape recorder in the drawer, and of course it was working.

"Xiao Xiang, don't be nervous, I have a few questions to ask you."

Xiang Tianliang was refreshed and straightened his waist naturally.

"Director, please ask."

"The first question is, who asked you to secretly investigate the theft of my office? What is his purpose?"

"Director, I can't tell you, but I'm sure you know."

Xiang Tianliang couldn't name Yu Feilong. Lao Chenggui was asking questions knowingly. Who in the Construction Bureau didn't know that Xiang Tianliang was transferred by Yu Feilong through the "back door". Who else could instruct him to do this except Yu Feilong?

"Activity", the reason why Lao Chenggui asked this was because he wanted Xiang Tianliang to tell Feilong's name so that it would remain on the tape so that Xiang Tianliang would not be fooled.

Lao Chenggui smiled. This boy is really talented. He is worthy of being a graduate of the elite university.

"Second question, as the client, why did you disobey the client's order and give me what you worked so hard to get?"

Client, client, a very interesting title, Xiang Tianliang also smiled.

"Director, the thing is like this, this client has actually obtained something, but in order to cover himself, he made a false shot and shouted "Catch the thief", but hired me to find this thing for him, hoping to use my actions to hide his behavior.

And he is prepared to push me out as a scapegoat when necessary, so I think such a client does not deserve my respect."

When Lao Chenggui heard this, he burst out laughing, "Well said, well said. It's pretty much what I imagined."

"Director, I don't need to tell you, you actually know it." Xiang Tianliang took a moment to compliment him.

"The third question, have you read the contents of the notebook?"

Xiang Tianliang didn't hesitate at all, "Director, I had to open it and take a look to confirm that it was indeed your handwriting?"

Xiang Tianliang came up with this rhetorical question after discussing it with Li Yajuan and Ye Nan. If he said he had never seen it, even a three or four-year-old child might not believe it. If he were to be bolder and more straightforward, he would win Lao Chenggui's favor.

"One more question, has anyone else seen it?" Lao Chenggui asked, staring into Xiang Tianliang's eyes.

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Director, you should have asked Sister Ye Nan about this question."

"I want to hear your answer."

"Director, after I got these things six hours ago, I went directly to Li Yajuan's house. The three of us didn't sleep a wink all night, guarding these things together. Li Yajuan wanted to see it, and Sister Ye Nan wanted to see it, but I stopped them. We waited until halfway

A few hours ago, I asked Sister Ye Nan to call you, and I can guarantee that no one else, including Li Yajuan and Sister Ye Nan, has seen these things."

After a moment of silence, Lao Chenggui slowly smiled.
