Chapter 527 Looking for trouble?
"Hey……"

"Director, I just received news that Deputy Director Li had left Rouhuai and returned to the city two hours ago. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have arrived at the Municipal Bureau by now."

"Gone? Two hours ago?" The man who answered the phone raised his left arm and looked at the watch on his wrist after hearing what was said on the phone. It was a little after seven o'clock. If it was two hours ago, it would have been around five o'clock.

"Left after five o'clock?" There was a hint of surprise in the voice of the man who answered the phone.

"Yes, that's what Rouhuai said."

"He's in such a hurry to come back because something happened in his bureau, or is the case he was in charge of already concluded?"

"It's unclear whether the city police department has any problems, but the case is really closed. I heard that several criminals have been arrested."

"Of course. The first case that Deputy Director Li handled after taking office went so smoothly. It seems that there is a reason why the higher-ups asked him to be the deputy director."

"Haha, isn't that all the credit of the people below? I don't believe that Deputy Director Li can take action himself." The person who called said with a sneer.

"You! Alas..." The person who answered the phone sighed helplessly and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"You are judging people through the cracks in the door, and you look down on them! Lao Du, don't judge others by yourself. Deputy Director Li can become an interrogation expert in multiple departments at such a young age. You don't think that's fake, do you? Or do you think that Mr. Luo can win him over with just one word?
Although I have never worked in the public security and supervision departments, as far as I know, as long as Deputy Director Li comes forward, there will be no criminals who refuse to confess under his hands. "

"Use some abnormal means. I can go too." Old Du, who was on the phone, muttered somewhat unconvinced.

"Haha, Lao Du, I'm not looking down on you, but you really can't go.

You don't know yet, but the court has already started the normal process and is preparing to invite Deputy Director Li to help them try a few people. As for who they are, I believe you should be able to guess it even without me saying it.

Do you think that the higher-ups would allow the use of those unusual means to interrogate those people?"

"Director, is this true?" After hearing this, Lao Du, who was on the phone, showed a look of surprise on his face and asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true." The person who answered the phone said with certainty.

"Lao Du, I have no other intention in telling you this, I just want to tell you that there are always people better than you, so don't be like the frog in the well.

Besides, I know what you want to say when you call me. Let me put it this way, in addition to Mr. Luo, there are other people who are also paying attention to Rouhuai's affairs. There is no room for maneuver. They have violated organizational discipline and national laws, and they must be punished accordingly."

At this point, the person who answered the phone paused for a moment, then quickly continued, "What are they trying to do? Although I don't know the specific situation, from the few words that have been revealed, those people are simply lawless.

Let me say that it is not an exaggeration to drag them all out and behead them. Whether it is the reform and opening up or the implementation of various new policies, they are all for the development of the national economy and for the people to live a better life, not for some people to take advantage of this opportunity to seek personal gain.

I think Deputy Director Li’s move this time was very good and timely, and it should be a wake-up call to certain people.

The only regret is that it was a little early to hand the case over to the Supervisory Commission. In my opinion, he should be responsible for continuing the investigation. Given his identity and background, he doesn't have to worry about offending anyone.

In fact, if I were to ask him, he should not be transferred to the public security department this time, but to the Supervisory Commission. With an expert who can solve cases and is proficient in interrogation, he will definitely be able to deter a group of scoundrels. "

Hearing the murderous words coming from the receiver, Lao Du on the other end of the phone twitched unconsciously several times.

Although he just said that he looked down on Li Yancheng, he actually knew it as clearly as a mirror in his heart. How could someone who could thrive in a unit like the Social Affairs Bureau be an easy person to deal with?

Those who know some inside information know that when Li Yancheng started to gain power in the Social Affairs Bureau, he had not yet married the daughter of the Luo family.

When he married the youngest daughter of the Luo family, Mr. Luo was working on the bench in a factory in a small city in the northwest.

Those who really know the inside story would feel very emotional whenever they think of this. They admire Li Yancheng for daring to marry the daughter of the Luo family under such circumstances and not being afraid of being implicated. They also admire the Luo family for not having any prejudice against their family and agreeing to let their daughter marry a divorced man.

And Mr. Luo’s son-in-law played an indispensable role in his return to work.

Lao Du is one of the people who knows the inside story. Of course, with his level, the information he got is definitely not first-hand. He just heard it from other people.

Hearing that his old leader rejected his request for help without any hesitation, Lao Du on the other end of the phone sighed silently. In fact, he had thought about this before making the call, but he still wanted to give it a try.

Sure enough, this result did not exceed his expectations.

"Director, I'm going to find something for Deputy Director Li. You won't stop me, right?"

The person on the other end of the phone who was called the director frowned tightly after hearing what Lao Du said.

"Old Du, I can't understand why you are so hostile to Deputy Director Li? You should have never met him or even know him."

"You're right. I've only heard of him but never met him. Maybe he doesn't even know there's someone like me."

"Then why did you do that? Could it be that... Lao Du, tell me the truth, how deeply are you involved in this Rou Huai incident?"

The director on the other end of the phone quickly thought of a possibility. At first, when Lao Du asked him for help to solve the Rouhuai incident, he thought that his former subordinate was only here because he came from Rouhuai and they had an old relationship. But now it seems that this may not be the case.

Faced with the old leader's questions, Lao Du on the other end of the phone fell silent.

When he stopped talking, the old leader on the other end immediately understood. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How deeply are you involved in this?"

"I..." Lao Du found it difficult to speak. He just said one word and then fell silent again.

When the old leader on the other end of the phone saw his old subordinate like this, his heart sank. It seemed that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

He bent down with a slightly annoyed look, took out a cigarette from under the coffee table and lit it for himself.

On the other end of the phone, when Old Du heard his old leader, who almost never smoked, actually lit a cigarette, he moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't utter a word.

He didn't know what to say.

The two of them held the phone and confronted each other for a long time. Finally, the old leader spoke first.

"Old Du, since you are also involved in the Rouhuai incident, the Municipal Supervision Commission is now in charge of the investigation. Why are you trying to cause trouble for Li Yancheng at this time? What are you thinking?
You don't think that causing trouble for him at this time will divert the attention of the Municipal Supervisory Committee, do you? If you have such an idea, then I would advise you to give up this idea.

I tell you, no matter what actions are taken against Li Yancheng at this time, it will only make others feel that the Rouhuai incident is very complicated and will make others pay more attention to this matter. The rest will not play any role at all.

I have a little suggestion here, do you want to hear it?"

"Director, please talk. I'm listening." Lao Du said hurriedly.

"Go and turn yourself in, confess everything to the organization, and try to get a good attitude."

"Uh..." Old Du on the other end of the phone's breathing suddenly stagnated, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He just didn't want to go to that step, so he called for help early in the morning. If he could have turned himself in, there would be no need to do that.

"Director, I'm going to retire next year, I want to..."

"Do you want to retire peacefully?" Before Lao Du could finish his words, the director on the other end of the phone took over and asked.

"Yes, see if you can help me."

"I can tell you very clearly that you can't. Lao Du, you have worked with me for many years and you should know my temper very well. I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. Don't make such a request again.

There are only two paths before you now. One is that you take the initiative to confess to the organization and strive for leniency. After you surrender, I will speak a word for you.

The other option is to wait for the organization to find you, and then do whatever you want. Of course, you can also take a gamble and see if those people over there will turn you in."

Hearing this, the expression on Lao Du's face became more bitter.

He knew that this request for help was a complete failure, because he knew the old leader, knew that the old leader always kept his word, and hated those messy things. He thought that because he had served him for a long time, the old leader would look at him differently, but it seemed that he was wrong.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said, "Director, in this case, I hope you can agree with the idea I just mentioned."

"Just..." The old leader on the other end of the phone was just about to ask what he thought, when he suddenly remembered that he was probably talking about causing trouble for Deputy Director Li.

"Didn't I tell you that even if you cause trouble for him now, it won't have any effect."

"I know."

"Knowing you're still going to do it?"

"I'm just angry, Director. I know I'm probably doomed this time, so I don't want anything else but to vent my anger."

"Alas..." The old leader sighed deeply and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Director, I think you'd better not ask."

"You! Lao Du, I still want to advise you not to cause trouble for yourself. Go to the organization to explain the situation. I will also say a few good words for you."

"I have made up my mind, Director. You don't need to persuade me. In fact, I also want to take a gamble."

What was he betting on? Of course, he was betting on whether the people who had been interviewed by Rouhuai, or those who had been arrested, would give him up.

After hearing what he said, the director on the other end of the phone stopped trying to persuade him. He just said “it’s your good intention” and hung up the phone.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Hearing the busy tone coming from the receiver, Lao Du smiled self-deprecatingly and reached out to put the receiver back on the phone.

It seems that it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others!
He intends to resolve the matter in his own way.

I just don't know if he has ever considered what to do if he fails and is charged with a more serious crime?
Of course, he no longer had time to think about these things at this moment, because he knew that he might not have much time left. He didn't know how long those people in Rouhuai could last when facing the Supervisory Committee, so if he wanted to realize his idea, he had to speed up.

So he got up from behind his desk and walked out of the office.

On the other side, the director hung up the phone, stood up from the sofa, walked to the balcony connected to the living room, and looked out the window.

"What's wrong with you so early in the morning? Why did your face change after answering a phone call?"

"It's okay. Don't ask about work." The director stood there looking out the window without even turning his head. He just waved his hands behind his back at his wife.

"Okay, I won't ask you any more. Then come over and have dinner."

"it is good"

"Let me be clear first. I didn't mean to listen to your call. It's just that your voice was quite loud, so I overheard it."

"What do you want to say?" The director turned and walked into the house and asked curiously after hearing his wife's words.

"I just heard you mention Li Yancheng when you were talking on the phone. Is this person you are talking about the son-in-law of Vice President Luo's family?"

"Yes, that's him. Why, do you know him?"

"I don't know him, I just heard his name. If you are talking about the son-in-law of Vice President Luo, my eldest sister does know him."

"Big sister knows him?" The director, who had already walked to the table and was about to sit down, stopped and asked in surprise, "How did big sister know him?"

"Your eldest brother-in-law fell ill two years ago, and the experts at the military hospital issued a critical illness notice and asked the family to prepare for his death. You should remember that, right?"

"Of course," the director nodded. "Of course I remember, but didn't my brother-in-law recover almost completely? I went to see him last month, and now he can walk a few steps with someone's help."

"Yes, that's right. The one who cured my brother-in-law was the Li Yancheng you mentioned, the son-in-law of Vice President Luo."

"What did you say?" The director's voice rose several degrees at the words spoken by his wife.

"I said, my brother-in-law was cured by Li Yancheng, the son-in-law of Vice President Luo. I can't say he was cured, I can only say his life was saved.

But this is also amazing. After all, the experts at the military general hospital had already asked him to prepare for his funeral, but after his treatment, not only is he still alive two years later, he can even stand up and walk a few steps with help.

You don't go there often so you don't know. When the experts at the General Hospital saw that my brother-in-law's condition was getting better and better, they were so surprised, as if they had never seen the world before."

Never seen the world?
The director now looked as if he had never seen the world before, his eyes were round and his mouth was open so wide that an ostrich egg could almost fit in.

That Deputy Director Li’s medical skills are so advanced?
He knew that Li Yancheng was transferred from the hospital to the Social Affairs Bureau, but how could the East District First Hospital have such a great doctor?
The key issue is not this, but...

How could he, a person from the Social Affairs Bureau, be able to take over and treat patients at the Army General Hospital, and they were not ordinary patients at that?
Although his wife's eldest brother-in-law has retired, the treatment he enjoys has not changed at all, and the attending doctors are all experts in the health care team.

Putting aside the fact that the health care experts believed that the disease was incurable, it was cured by a young man who was no longer a doctor. It was a miraculous thing. Just talking about how he came into contact with such a patient...

Ok?
Suddenly, the director thought of a possibility. Could it be that Deputy Director Li himself is an expert in the health care team?

Because only in this way can he come into contact with patients of that level.

An expert in the health care group?

The director's heart couldn't help but tremble at the thought of this possibility. This position itself did not have much power, but the people he could come into contact with were different.

Thinking of this, he didn't even bother to eat, turned around and walked towards the sofa.

"It's time to eat, what are you doing?" His wife had just sat down when she saw him leave the table again and asked.

"You eat first, I'll make a phone call."

As he was talking, the director, who had already walked to the sofa to pick up the phone, hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the study. His wife was in the living room, and some things were not convenient to say there.

"How long can you delay eating? You can't fight after you finish eating, or the food will get cold."

In the end, the other person ignored her and went straight into the study.

After entering the study, the director came to the desk, picked up the phone on the table with one hand, and dialed four digits on the dial with the other hand.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The call was made, but no one answered the phone until the long busy tone in the receiver turned into a short busy tone.

He glanced at the watch on his wrist with some confusion. It was only half past seven. Could he have already gone to work?
So he picked up the phone again and dialed a new number.

This time the call was picked up, but the person who answered was not the person he was looking for, but the secretary. Upon hearing that Lao Du had gone out alone a few minutes ago and asked the secretary to help him take a morning off from the office, the director's heart couldn't help but sink.

He didn't expect that this old subordinate would be so impatient. The more impatient he was, the more it showed that the situation in Rouhuai had become precarious.

He had no idea what this old subordinate had done over there, and he had never thought about whether to keep him. This was not a choice for him. He would not protect anyone who violated organizational discipline and national laws. The reason he made this call was just that he hoped this old subordinate would not make the same mistake again and again.

But now it seems to be too late.

After hanging up the phone, the director shook his head slightly and said, "In that case, let's just go our separate ways."
