On the one hand, he was targeted by unknown people, and on the other hand, several leaders paid special attention to this matter, which made Xiang Tianliang feel the seriousness and urgency of the matter.

The more than forty video tapes are not original tapes, but edited and spliced ​​together. Although each tape lasts about an hour and a half, the amount of information contained in it is too much, almost every two or three minutes. , the camera will show a person swiping a card to pay at the toll booth. The person's face and the card are both taken in close-up, and there are also close-up shots. The number on the shopping card can be clearly seen. The photo is not only clear, but also The intention is very obvious. The purpose of these videos is to record that a person has purchased something in the underground supermarket of the shopping mall and which shopping card with a certain number he used to purchase something.

Xiang Tianliang couldn't help because he hardly knew everyone who appeared in the videotape. In this regard, Gu Xiuyun had a unique advantage. She had been in the provincial government for nearly twenty years and knew many people. Chen Xiaoning It's not bad. I know a lot of people. On the other hand, Liu Ruofei has only been in the agency for three years and has not come into contact with many people. It is useless to ask her to watch the videos. There are videos from summer, autumn and winter, which shows that the records are not only for recent events. People, that is to say, it is not just people from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.

What makes Xiang Tianliang even more uneasy is that among the people who appeared on the video tapes, there were even family members of individual members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. According to the records provided by Gu Xiuyun, he only watched four video tapes and saw more than 30 leaders at the deputy and departmental levels. The presence of family members, these department-level cadres spread across seventeen units or departments.

The problem is serious. No wonder all parties are paying so much attention to it and are watching it with eager eyes.

Xiang Tianliang decisively stopped the "work" of Gu Xiuyun, Chen Xiaoning and Liu Ruofei. A small trouble turned into a big thing that no one could control.

Must report to the leader.

The next morning, Xiang Tianliang sent Gu Xiuyun, Chen Xiaoning and Liu Ruofei out of the safe room.

Then Xiang Tianliang turned back by himself and walked to ensure safety around the safe room before arriving at the Provincial Party Committee compound to go to work.

Xiang Tianliang did not go to the new office being decorated, but went straight to Minister Gao Yulan's office.

After listening to Xiang Tianliang's detailed report, Gao Yulan fell into deep thought. She did not dare to disturb Xiang Tianliang and stood beside her and watched quietly.

At this time, Gao Yulan's eyes were narrowed and her expression was serious, showing another side of a strong woman.

After a long time, Gao Yulan picked up the dedicated phone number.

"Secretary Li, hello, I'm Gao Yulan, are you available?"

"Comrade Yulan, are you okay?"

"I have an urgent matter that I need to report to you in person."

There was a slight pause on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

"Comrade Yulan, come to my office in fifteen minutes."

After putting down the phone, Gao Yulan's face slowly relaxed. After looking at her watch, she reached out and took Xiang Tianliang's hand.

"It was very busy last night."

Xiang Tianliang hummed, pulled Gao Yulan up with his backhand, patted her on the butt, and sat down in her seat.

Gao Yulan took the opportunity to sit on Xiang Tianliang and said softly: "Don't worry too much. I just want to ask, you know only a handful of people in Yunzhou, who helped you check those video tapes."

"You might be able to guess it." Xiang Tianliang said with a smile.

Gao Yulan shook her head, "I'm not jealous, but I don't guess either. I want you to tell me personally."

"Your future secretary Chen Xiaoning." Xiang Tianliang decided to "betray" Chen Xiaoning.

"I guess it's her too." Gao Yulan pinched Xiang Tianliang's nose.

"I'm really not unhappy." Xiang Tianliang asked with a smile.

Gao Yulan said coquettishly: "I'm not as stingy as you think. In this regard, you are the master and I am the subordinate. I don't ask for anything extra, as long as you don't forget me."

"Actually, this is also a good thing."

"What a good idea."

Xiang Tianliang said with a bad smile: "Think about it, wouldn't it be much more convenient to take Chen Xiaoning with you when you go to Qinghe City or Binhai County in the future to avoid embarrassment?"

"What a beautiful idea." Gao Yulan smiled shyly.

Before going to see Li Wenrui, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Gao Yulan carefully helped Xiang Tianliang tidy up his hair and clothes, "Be sharp and show off the energy of a young man."

"Am I not energetic enough?" Xiang Tianliang straightened his back and laughed softly, "As my leader, you know me best."

"Bah, you're just thinking about something wrong and you don't even look at the time." Gao Yulan gave Xiang Tianliang a light slap and said, "Let's go."

In the courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee, the Secretary's Building is a duli building with red bricks and blue tiles. It is hidden in the shade and is slightly farther away from other small buildings. It is the quietest place in the courtyard.

The six-room, three-story building is antique and even a layman can tell that it is an old building with age.

The first and second floors are the Provincial Party Committee Office, and there is also a conference room on the second floor.

The third floor is the office of the chief and deputy secretaries. In addition to the secretary, the Dongjiang Provincial Party Committee also has three deputy secretaries. The first-ranked deputy secretary is the governor. His office is not here, but in the governor's building a hundred meters away.

Therefore, the third floor is divided into three parts, which are the office areas of the secretary and the two deputy secretaries.

Although it is only a three-story building, there is an elevator here. There is a security guard sitting there on duty next to the elevator entrance and the stairwell on the third floor. Rare guests like Xiang Tianliang must show their ID. If they come up alone, There must also be a list signed by the leader of the Provincial Party Committee General Office.

Following Gao Yulan, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, it was of course basically like being in a deserted place, and the security guards did not even check Xiang Tianliang's briefcase.

Outside the secretary's office is the office of Mo Kaicai, deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee and secretary to the secretary.

This is a middle-aged man in the prime of his life, thin in stature, quiet and steady. At first glance, he looks like a talented old man.

When Mo Kaicai saw Gao Yulan, he immediately stood up from his seat and said, "Hello, Minister Gao."

Nodding, Gao Yulan smiled and said: "Hello, Comrade Kaicai, this is our Assistant Xiang Tianliang from the Third Office."

Mo Kaicai's eyes quickly glanced at Xiang Tianliang and said, "Hello, please leave your gun to me for the time being."

Xiang Tianliang was secretly surprised, "How did you know I was carrying a gun?"

Mo Kaicai smiled slightly, "I didn't see where your gun was hidden. I don't have the ability, but you are Xiang Tianliang, and I know you have a gun license."

"I can't give you the gun." Xiang Tianliang smiled and shook his head.

Just as Mo Kaicai was about to speak, a sentence suddenly floated out from the ajar door.

"Kaicai, he won't give you the gun."

The voice was a little hoarse, that of an old man.

Mo Kaicai hurriedly turned around and opened the door, "Secretary."

Li Wenrui, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and director of the Provincial People's Congress, stood by the door with his hands behind his back.

A kind-faced little old man frowned tightly, seeming to be thinking about something.

Gao Yulan was also busy saying hello, "Hello, secretary."

"Secretary Li, hello." Xiang Tianliang stood up straight.

Slowly lowering his jaw, Li Wenrui stared at Xiang Tianliang, then said to Mo Kaicai: "You are a scholar and he is a soldier. When a scholar meets a soldier, he will not be able to explain why. Give you the gun and he will It’s very shameless.”

Everyone chuckled.

Li Wenrui turned around and walked towards the sofa.

Mo Kaicai smiled apologetically and gestured to Gao Yulan and Xiang Tianliang to come in.

After Li Wenrui and Gao Yulan sat down, Mo Kai made two cups of tea, nodded and exited the office.

Of course Xiang Tianliang didn't dare to sit down, he stood behind Gao Yulan.

Li Wenrui was leaning on the sofa, his legs crossed and trembling slightly. His left hand was resting on the armrest of the sofa, and his index and middle fingers were intertwined.

Gao Yulan smiled slightly.

Suddenly, Li Wenrui also laughed silently.

Gao Yulan smiled and said: "Xiao Xiang, tell me what Secretary Li is thinking about now."

Xiang Tianliang was actually smiling too, but his smile was hidden in his heart and he didn't dare to show it on his face.

Seeing that Xiang Tianliang was hesitating, Li Wenrui said: "Don't leave me with the impression that I am a wasted person."

"You want to smoke." Xiang Tianliang said.

"You smoke too."

"yes."

"No one cares."

"yes."

Li Wenrui laughed again, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I haven't smoked for fifteen hours and thirty-seven minutes. You must have cigarettes in your bag. Please contribute."

Xiang Tianliang walked to Li Wenrui without hesitation and took out cigarettes and lighter from his bag.

Li Wenrui grabbed the cigarette and lighter and said, "Stay here while I do it. I'll do it myself."

Gao Yulan smiled and said to Xiang Tianliang, "Secretary Li is quitting smoking for the eleventh time. He only lasted fifteen hours and thirty-seven minutes. It should be the shortest time to quit smoking."

Li Wenrui had already lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. In the blink of an eye, half of the cigarette turned into ashes.

"Ah...I'm alive again."

Gao Yulan couldn't help but laugh, "Secretary, how are you going to explain to the eldest sister?"

"Keep it a secret, keep it a secret." Li Wenrui squinted his eyes, enjoying the excitement brought by the cigarette, and his frown relaxed, "Oh... my old lady is confused, I am already sixty-two, why should I quit? Smoke, this is simply forcing people to do something difficult, how can it be unreasonable."

"Then you have to write a letter of apology again." Gao Yulan said with a smile.

"It's not terrible to make mistakes. If you correct yourself, you will be a good comrade." Li Wenrui said plausibly while smoking a cigarette, "Anyway, I was criticized by the old woman for being incorrigible. The worst I can do is write the eleventh self-reflection letter."

Gao Yulan laughed again, "I didn't see anything."

Li Wenrui continued his cigarette, and after taking a few puffs, he looked at Xiang Tianliang and said, "Xiang Tianliang, so far, you are the only person in this compound who dares to help me make mistakes. You have to be careful. Don't let my old lady know, otherwise, she will come to investigate."

"Secretary Li, you forced me to make mistakes." Xiang Tianliang smiled.

"Really?" Li Wenrui looked at Gao Yulan and asked, "Xiao Gao, did I force him?"

"Hey, you seem to be forcing him."
