Chapter 491 Worry
"Thank you!" Li Yancheng and Zhou Jiangong nodded slightly.

"You're welcome. Even if I don't tell you today, you'll know in two days. However, Secretary General, you've been promoted this time, so shouldn't we set up two tables to celebrate?"

Although they were very familiar with each other, had a good personal relationship, and were at the same level, Zhou Jiangong still respected Li Yancheng very much.

First, he is two years younger than Li Yancheng. Second, he is very clear that in terms of future development potential, even though he is now Mr. Fang's work secretary and holds a director position in a department under the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, he still feels that he is not good enough compared to Li Yancheng.

Not to mention that he is Vice President Luo's son-in-law, just looking at his personal abilities and connections, he knows very well that even ten of himself combined cannot catch up with him.

So Zhou Jiangong knew that for the sake of his future, he also had to build good relationships with people like Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong. These would be his future connections.

And this kind of network of contacts is much more solid than the ones he has built up at work by taking advantage of his current position.

"Promotion? Jiangong, you're exaggerating. How can I say that I'm promoted? But it's no problem to set up two tables. After I go back and complete the formalities, I'll see how you can do it. Normally, we're all free, but you're the one who's busy. Just let me know when you're free. I'll contact the others."

Zhou Jiangong's time does not belong to himself. Take tonight for example. It is already past seven o'clock and he is still here. He doesn't know what time it will be when he can go back to his home to sleep. It is more likely that he will have to stay at Fang's home tonight, where he has a room.

"no problem"

"Let's go in. Director Zhou, please go first." The two of them had walked side by side to the door of the conference room. Li Yancheng raised his right hand and patted Zhou Jiangong on the back, and pushed open the conference room door with his left hand.

Zhou Jiangong was not pretentious. He was a guest, so it was normal for him to go first.

The entry of the two did not affect Lu Mingyu who was reporting to Mr. Fang. She told him everything she had already known.

As soon as Li Yancheng and Zhou Jiangong sat down, Mr. Fang raised his hand and gestured. Seeing this, Lu Mingyu stopped decisively.

"Comrade Mingyu, you said Niu Guoqing just said that the reason he hired someone to follow Comrade Luo Min was just to find out where her home was?"

"Yes, Niu Guoqing said so himself, and Wang Shengli also said so, but we do not agree with what they said."

“Why don’t you approve it?”

"Because if Niu Guoqing really just wanted to know where Comrade Luo Min's home was, there would be no need to go through so much trouble."

"Hmm," Mr. Fang nodded gently, and then asked, "Then what do you think is the reason why Niu Guoqing did this? Is he helping some organization to do something shameful behind his actions?"

"Commander, I..." Lu Mingyu was about to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, he hesitated and glanced sideways, as if he had some concerns.

Following her line of sight, Mr. Fang noticed that she seemed to be looking at Luo Min and Li Yancheng, so he said, "Comrade Mingyu, this is a discussion of the case, just speak freely if you have anything to say, don't hesitate.

Of course, if it is really inconvenient, I can ask Comrade Yan Cheng and Comrade Luo Min to step aside for now. They are the couple involved in the case, so it is normal for them to step aside. "

Li Yancheng and Luo Min were sitting in the same row with Lu Mingyu, so they didn't see Director Lu secretly glancing in their direction. After hearing what Mr. Fang said, the two looked at each other, said nothing, and stood up together, obviously preparing to leave the meeting room.

"No, no, Deputy Secretary-General Li and Deputy Section Chief Luo, please stay. There's no need to retreat." Lu Mingyu hurriedly called out to the two people who were about to leave.

She didn't dare to let the two of them go out, as that would make people suspect that she was planning to say something bad about them behind their backs.

"Deputy Secretary-General Li, Deputy Section Chief Luo, what I am going to say next is just my personal speculation. I hope you don't mind."

"Director Lu, you are here to investigate the situation, but you can talk as you please."

Li Yancheng didn't have to go out. Seeing that Lu Mingyu had said this, he stopped and took his wife's arm, pushing it down slightly, motioning her to sit down. Then he looked at Director Lu and nodded, meaning that you can say whatever you want.

"Commander, based on what Niu Guoqing just said, as well as some changes in his expression and some changes after he saw Deputy Section Chief Luo, what he said was partly true and partly false. It doesn't look like someone is behind him, but more like... he still... still..."

Having said that, Lu Mingyu really couldn't go on any more. She forced an awkward smile towards Mr. Fang.

In front of someone else's husband, she said that another man was obsessed with your wife and was even willing to take risks. Director Lu was worried that Deputy Secretary-General Li would tear her to pieces.

There was no need for her to continue, Mr. Fang understood, and Zhou Jiangong also understood. After all, he was young, and he almost burst out laughing.

Old Fang glanced at Li Yancheng with a somewhat strange expression. The latter was sitting there very calmly. They were childhood playmates. He might have been attracted to his wife when they were teenagers, and they are still in love now. What could he say?

Anyway, he believed that his wife had no feelings for that guy at all.

However, he believed that the Niu family might not still have feelings for his wife. At most, his family was now in ruins, while the Luo family was different. They were at their peak at this stage. If they could...

All I can say is that he thought too much and used the wrong strategy.

Li Yancheng didn't have any other thoughts about these. What he was thinking about now was still Wang Shengli. Why did this guy have a look of relief on his face when he heard that he was going to jail?

What on earth is going on here?
"Yancheng, what do you want to say?"

Perhaps noticing the thoughtful look on Li Yancheng's face, Mr. Fang asked directly. While asking, he asked Zhou Jiangong for a cigarette and threw one over to him.

"Commander, how many cigarettes have you smoked today?"

"Shut up, I'm asking you a question, answer my question and don't change the subject."

"Puch..."

"Ha ha……"

Old Fang glared at Li Yancheng, who was talking about something that was not related to the topic. Su Xiaotong and Luo Min laughed out loud. The others did not dare to be as presumptuous as them and they all had to endure it with great difficulty.

"hey-hey"

Li Yancheng smiled and said, "Commander, even if you scold me, I have to say that you must have smoked too much today. How about this, you can only smoke half of this cigarette, how about that?"

"You're becoming more and more unpleasant, little brat. I'll stop smoking, okay?"

Of course the old man knew that Li Yancheng was thinking about his health. He was not so ungrateful. After glaring at the guy again, he reluctantly put out the cigarette he had just lit in the ashtray on the table and put the rest aside. It seemed that he planned to smoke it later and was determined not to waste it.

After watching the old man put down the cigarette, Li Yancheng cleared his throat and expressed the doubts that lingered in his mind. He also talked about his and Su Xiaotong's speculations.

Of course, Mr. Fang knew about the series of rape and murder cases that happened ten years ago, as well as the two even more serious rape and murder cases that happened recently.

"Yancheng, wait a moment, wait a moment..."

Before Li Yancheng could finish his words, Mr. Fang spoke up and interrupted him.

"What did you say? I know there were footprints at the scene of the two cases that just happened. I know that footprints are likely to be fake. I've heard them mention this before, but you said that the footprint was forged by Niu Guoqing? Do you have any evidence?"

"No, this is just a guess between Xiaotong and me." Li Yancheng shook his head.

"Commander, to be honest with you, if there was any evidence, even if it was indirect evidence, I would have directly interrogated him just now."

He was not talking nonsense, it was because there was really no evidence or clues.

According to what Su Xiaotong said, they originally wanted him to conduct the trial directly, but Li Yancheng disagreed. He felt that they should not break the law knowingly.

After all, this was different from the cases handled by their Social Affairs Bureau. If he was facing those lurkers, he would not think there was anything wrong with what he did. However, facing other types of criminals, perhaps influenced by his previous life, he felt that he could not do it without evidence, even though the sequelae of his method were very small.

At this time, Lu Mingyu, Luo Min, and several other people in the conference room were stunned.

They don't know that other cases may be involved here.

"So what are you going to do next?"

After thinking for a while, Mr. Fang continued, "I have just contacted Director Chang Huarong, the footprint expert at the Public Security Headquarters, and asked him to come and check Wang Shengli's footprints and see what the situation is first."

"Chang Huarong" Mr. Fang muttered the name, then nodded and asked, "Don't you plan to notify the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"

"I don't plan to notify them yet, mainly because I'm worried that it will cause too much noise. After all, Xiaotong and I are just guessing.

But I mentioned this to the deputy director of the Second Division of the Municipal Bureau before, and asked them to send a joint investigation notice to the Shanxi Provincial Public Security Bureau to conduct a side investigation into Niu Guoqing first. "

"Well, if you can solve this case, you will be able to quickly gain a foothold in the past."

“Hehe, Chief, my awareness may not be high, but I really have never thought of using this case to plant a flag.

I am so active just because I want to solve this case quickly and bring the murderer to justice."

"Yes, to be able to say that, your awareness is already quite high.

Well, since you have made all the arrangements, I will not say anything and will wait for your good news."

As he said that, Mr. Fang stood up, not forgetting to take the cigarette he had just put out.

Seeing this, the others also stood up and prepared to see their leader off.

"Yan Cheng..."

"Master, please give your instructions!"

“We have to handle the case and work hard, but we also have to keep the safety of our family in mind.

I tell you, Yan Cheng, no matter if it is Comrade Luo Min or the two children, if they have any safety problems at all, I will hold you accountable. At that time, you should stop doing anything and just go back to farming.

If you can't even protect your own family, how can the organization trust you to protect the lives and property of the people?"

"Yes"

Looking at Li Yancheng with a serious face, Mr. Fang walked around the table and patted his arm.

"Of course, there is also your own safety. You must not act heroically and must trust your comrades.

When you go to the public security department, you will be in charge of specific departments. You must learn to fully mobilize the initiative and enthusiasm of your subordinates, rather than doing everything yourself. If you do that, no one will think you are a good leader, but only incompetent. "

Different positions require different working methods. Li Yancheng will no longer be a simple interrogation expert. His future work will require more management. He needs to find ways to unite his subordinates and make them work together.

Management is a science and an "art". It is not easy to be a good leader.

After hearing what Mr. Fang said, Li Yancheng nodded solemnly.

This made Tian Linjun, Lu Mingyu and others very envious. Not everyone is qualified to have the old man give instructions like this.

Mr. Fang didn't say anything else. He shook hands with the other people and asked Luo Min to support his arm and walk him out. After giving a few more instructions, he left.

The old man also knew that if he stayed here, it would only make the people below feel nervous. He came here to show his concern, which was also equivalent to supporting Li Yancheng and letting those who were interested to see that this person was not only the son-in-law of the Luo family, but also my old Fang's man.

Although Mr. Fang came here in a low-key manner, his status is there after all, and many people are paying attention to his movements. After the small meeting after the conference, he did not go directly home or to the office in the compound, but took a car to the Operations Department under the Municipal Social Affairs Bureau. This was an unusual move, and everyone who should know it knew it.

Why did they go there? What was the purpose of this move? Of course, they had to find out.

As a result, the news that the lover of the deputy secretary-general of the General Office of the Social Affairs Bureau Headquarters was being followed soon reached the ears of many people.

The reason why this matter was discovered so quickly by someone with ulterior motives was not because the Municipal Social Affairs Bureau was like a sieve and could not keep secrets, but because Li Yancheng had no intention of keeping the matter secret.

Originally, since he reported this to Hong Dingguo last night, many people had known about this matter. Today, he took the person away not far from the Political College, and there was an emergency brake incident on the road. The First Division was dispatched to arrest people, and the director of the Security Department even led the team here in person. All these things had long been noticed by those who were interested.

If we continue to guard against it strictly and not reveal anything at all, we don't know what will be spread tomorrow. Someone might even say that Li Yancheng has abused public resources for personal gain.

His appointment document has not been officially issued yet, let alone announced, which means that everything is still possible. Who knows, someone might use this matter to stir up trouble and make a fuss.

Although I may not be able to do anything to him, it's okay to disgust him a little.

Some people like to do things that harm others and benefit themselves.

So instead of letting others guess blindly, it is better to spread it openly. It is also a kind of alternative way to strike the first blow to avoid a hundred blows.

Once the news spreads, it will inevitably reach the ears of Mr. Luo.

Unlike Mr. Fang, Mr. Luo had nothing else to do after the meeting, so he returned home. His grandson and granddaughter came to stay at home today, which made the old man very happy. He was having fun playing with his two grandsons and granddaughter in the house. The staff around him who got the news came over and whispered a report in his ear.

After listening to the staff's report, Mr. Luo was slightly stunned. After letting the staff leave, the old man glanced at Huansheng and Xiaoyu unconsciously. Now he knew why the two children came to stay here tonight.

"What's wrong, Lao Luo?"

After all, they had lived together for decades, and although the old man's expression had not changed at all, the old lady still noticed that something was wrong with him.

Mr. Luo did not answer his wife's question. Instead, he looked at his grandson and asked, "Huansheng, tell grandpa, do you know anything?"

Mr. Luo’s words surprised the old lady. Was this...did something happen to her daughter?
She quickly put down the newspaper in her hand, stood up and walked over.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Huansheng looked at his grandfather, then at his grandmother who had just arrived, and finally at his sister, with a questioning look in his eyes.

When they received the call from their mother just now, their mother told them not to tell their grandmother that someone was following them when they arrived at their grandmother's house. But now grandfather seems to have known about it, so should they tell him or not?
"Brother, Mom won't let me tell you."

Well, as soon as Xiao Xiaoyu said this, Huansheng wanted to slap himself on the head. What’s the difference between this and saying it.

"Xiao Yu, what did your mother not allow you to say?" The old lady was a little anxious.

Facing grandma's question, little Xiaoyu covered her mouth and even her nose, leaving only a pair of big eyes blinking at grandma, and hummed twice in her mouth, meaning that I listen to my mother the most, and I won't say anything if my mother doesn't allow me to.

Huansheng knew that since grandpa had already asked, there was no need to hide it any longer, so he raised his hand and touched his sister's little head, then spoke.

"Grandpa, grandma, someone is following my mom."

"Huan Sheng, do you know when this happened?" The old lady's face changed. Although this was not the first time this happened, she still felt distressed.

"My father told me last night, and he also told me to protect my sister on the way to and from school."

"Grandma, I don't need my brother's protection. I can run so fast that my brother can't catch up with me."

"Well, okay, our Xiaoyu is the best. If you encounter danger or find something wrong, you must run to where there are many people, okay?"

"Okay, grandma, Dad often teaches me and my brother."

The old lady raised her hand and stroked her grandson and granddaughter's hair with some heartache. What was going on?

"Lao Luo, what's going on?"
