Li Heng could understand the reason Zhao Mingxia gave.
Not to mention her, I also got myself into a lot of trouble.
But can he ignore it when something happens? Obviously, he can't.
Everything about him is deeply bound to this country. Only the better the country is, the more comfortable his life will be.
Just like the escape route he left for himself, he would not take that step until the last moment, even if life there was indeed much better than life at home.
"Director Mingxia, if I take you to see someone now, you can tell the truth about what you saw that day. Don't worry, he will definitely keep it a secret for you."
"Director, forget it if you meet the man named Zeng. It's not that I don't trust him, but his position is too low. I'm worried that he can't protect me."
"I'm not going to see him, I'm going to see his leader."
With that said, Li Heng released the handbrake, turned the steering wheel, and walked back the way he came.
This time he was not going to find Lao Zeng, and he was also worried that there might still be moths in the operations area that had not been cleaned up.
Once bitten by a snake, Zhao Mingxia's life safety must be guaranteed no matter what happens.
When she heard that she was looking for Lao Zeng's leader, Zhao Mingxia was obviously relieved. She didn't say anything more. She just sat quietly in the passenger seat, turned to look out the window and didn't know what she was thinking. For a while, there was nothing left in the car.
The sound of the engine turning.
The office of the Social Affairs Bureau is not far from the city hall, and it didn't take long to drive there. After parking the car on the side of the road, Li Heng pulled out a new cotton gauze mask and a hat like magic.
Zhao Mingxia looked at the mask and hat he handed over with some surprise, and looked at him curiously for a long time, but she didn't see where he took these two things from.
"This...director, where did you keep it?"
"Don't worry about where I put it, just put it on."
Once the mask is put on and the hat is put on again, even if an acquaintance sees it, they will not be able to recognize who it is.
After she put it on, the two of them got out of the car and walked to the guard room of the Social Affairs Bureau.
"Hello, I am Li Heng from the department store. This is my work ID. Please contact Director Ji and tell him that I have something very important to see him."
The staff in the duty room didn't say anything. They just glanced curiously at Zhao Mingxia, who was closely covering up behind her. Then she took Li Heng's work ID card, checked the photo, and picked up the phone on the table in the guard room to dial.
Got out.
Soon, a young man ran over from the office building.
"Hello, Director Li Heng, right? I'm Xiao Ding, Director Ji's assistant. Please come this way. Director Ji is in the office." Still some distance away, the young man stretched out his right hand.
"Hello Assistant Ding, please excuse me."
"You're welcome."
Zhao Mingxia's peculiar appearance attracted a lot of attention. Of course, they had to pay special attention to the new director's assistant who personally came out to pick up people. Unfortunately, many of them may have an impression of Li Heng's face, and they all know it.
They couldn't recognize the tightly wrapped woman behind her at all.
When Zhao Mingxia went upstairs, she also met a person she had dealt with more than once. Seeing that she showed no signs of recognizing her, she was completely relieved.
Director Ji's office is on the second floor. As soon as Xiao Ding led the two of them into the office, he walked out from behind his desk.
"Er Heng, why are you..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the strange-looking Zhao Mingxia. He didn't expect that Li Heng actually brought someone here.
"Old political commissar, I have nothing to do and I came to see you to catch up on old times."
Li Heng didn't address his current position, which made Assistant Ding, who was about to pour water, glance at him curiously.
He must remember that he is a comrade of the leader, let alone the director of a department store.
"Sit down, Erheng, Xiaoding, there's no need to pour water. This is one of our own. You can go about your business and close the door for me."
"yes"
After Xiao Ding exited the office, Lao Jicai said again: "Okay Erheng, if you want to drink water, go and pour it yourself. Who is this?"
"Director Mingxia, you can take off your hat and mask now. This is Ji Changping, the new director of the Social Affairs Bureau, my old political commissar from the army, political commissar. This is Zhao Mingxia, the deputy director of our department store, who used to be a shareholder of the department store.
, but she has donated all her shares. I brought her here today because I have something to tell you."
After the two shook hands and said hello, Li Heng stood up and poured two cups of hot water. It was freezing outside, so drinking some hot water would make him feel better.
"What's the matter, Erheng?"
"That's right. Last Sunday, the 6th, she saw a person at the home of Chen Junhui, a shareholder of the cotton spinning mill. This person should be someone who used to work at the 49th City Statistics Station."
Hearing this, a strange look burst out in Lao Ji's eyes.
"Wait a minute, Er Heng, you mean the people from the 49th City Statistics Station before liberation?"
"Yes, let her tell you the details."
"Comrade Zhao Mingxia, did you recognize the wrong person?" Hearing what Li Heng said, Lao Ji turned to look at Zhao Mingxia.
"Director Ji, I only scanned it the moment Director Chen's study was closed. I can't guarantee whether it is the exact one, but it does look similar."
"How do you know the people at the statistics station?"
"Ahem... Political Commissar, Director Mingxia was once the girlfriend of Huang Mosheng, the former owner of the department store. She met her at home in the early years." Li Heng quickly interrupted to explain.
Lao Ji was slightly startled, but soon realized what the girlfriend meant, so he stopped asking further and asked something else.
"Comrade Zhao Mingxia, did you hear what they talked about?"
"No, I didn't stay at Mr. Chen's house for long, only a few minutes, and then I went out with Mrs. Chen."
"Thank you, thank you very much for providing such an important clue."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
"Political Commissar, I would also like to ask you to keep this matter secret. Don't let anyone except you know who provided this information. Or you can just blame it on me. Anyway, I have too many debts to worry about.
, don’t bite if there are too many lice.”
"You don't need to tell me, I know what to do. No wonder you asked Comrade Zhao Mingxia to wrap her up so tightly just now."
"That's right, I'm also worried about causing trouble to others."
"You!" Lao Ji smiled and pointed at Li Heng: "You are pointing at me. Your matter is a special situation and it is not my responsibility. If you have any dissatisfaction, you should go to Director Zeng.
"
"You have misunderstood the political commissar. I really have no intention of causing trouble to anyone. I just want to remind you that this time it must be kept strictly confidential. Director Mingxia is no better than me."
"Don't worry, I understand. Please rest assured, Comrade Zhao Mingxia, I will definitely keep it strictly confidential."
