As night falls, the soft light casts a warm glow in the room.

Xu Wen's foot injury has healed, her stomach no longer hurts, and she feels light and energetic.

She was like a happy little bird, clinging to Li Lin, her eyes full of love. She took the initiative to move forward and kissed him repeatedly.

Li Lin was a man who was kind to women. Seeing Xu Wen like this, his heart was filled with tenderness, and his movements were much gentler than before.

In this passionate atmosphere, the two couldn't help but have an in-depth communication.

Afterwards, Xu Wen nestled in Li Lin's arms like a lazy kitten, her voice as soft as a whisper, "You said Chu Yao, she won't be upset, right?"

Li Lin told Xu Wen about Chu Guoan's arrest and Chu Yao's investigation after he came back.

But now, these are no longer secrets. Even if Li Lin doesn't say it, Xu Wen will know it sooner or later.

Li Lin patted Xu Wen's back gently, as if he was coaxing a child. "Don't worry about it. Since she has enjoyed the convenience brought by power, she should have expected this day to come. Any cadre who abuses his power for personal gain will not have a good ending."

Xu Wen really acted like a child, biting her fingers and pouting, looking very cute. "But she is my friend, and she is also your classmate... Don't you have any feelings at all?"

Hmm? Li Lin felt that Xu Wen had something else in mind when she heard this.

He turned his head to look at Xu Wen, and Xu Wen happened to look up as well. Their eyes met in the air, and they just stared at each other quietly for two seconds.

Li Lin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, "Yue Chuan and I are in the same school. He has done so many bad things. Should I sympathize with him? We are all studying law, and people who break the law knowingly are the most hateful. They rely on their knowledge of the law to walk on the edge of black and white, thinking that they live a carefree life, but in fact they live like rats, hiding from the light. Such people do not deserve sympathy at all."

"What you said seems to make sense..." Xu Wen nodded slowly, and subconsciously held Li Lin's waist tighter. "Ah... Uncle Chu is also confused. He is already in a high position, why does he still do those wrong things? How much money can you spend in your lifetime? You spent so much effort to make so much money, but in the end it was all for nothing? And Yaoyao, at this time, why are you still going against the government?"

At present, Xu Wen only knows that Chu Guoan and Chu Yao have financial problems, and does not know that Chu Guoan is involved in a murder case.

If she knew this, she would be so shocked that her mouth would be unable to close.

She is too kind and always thinks the best of others, but she doesn't know that some people are doing shameful and dirty things under their glamorous appearance.

Li Lin patiently explained, "Her advertising company has undertaken many government projects and received investments from many big bosses. All this money was obtained through Chu Guoan's power, and it was not legitimate. Some cadres think that since they have separated from their children, they can transfer benefits to them openly. They approve money for two projects for one project. The government's money is the hard-earned money of the people, and they can't afford to squander it like this... They should give back what they have taken in, and give the people an explanation. This is reasonable."

Xu Wen looked thoughtful, her eyes rolling around, and whispered, "Is it against the rules for cadres' relatives to open companies? But this kind of thing is quite common in society. You have been the top leader of a village, haven't you seen it? Many top leaders contract projects to their relatives and distribute dividends when they make money. As long as nothing goes wrong, the discipline inspection department rarely asks about it. This has almost become an unspoken rule."

Li Lin knew all this very well.

When Lu Yu Ming was the top leader in Weishui Township, several of his relatives set up advertising companies and construction companies respectively.

Take the beautification projects undertaken by his brother-in-law, which is a typical example.

He would find all kinds of ways to do things when he had nothing to do. He sprayed paint on the walls of the villagers' houses over and over again. There were also various projects such as road construction and greening of residential areas. Aren't they all done by his relatives?

As for the bidding, it is just a formality, just like the meeting minutes, which are only supplemented later when they are checked. Anyway, the superiors can always be satisfied.

During the years when Lu Yu Ming was in charge of Weishui Township, he took a lot of money from the public, so it was not unfair for him to be investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission.

What’s even more infuriating is that some township leaders, during meetings, talk a lot about asking their comrades to save money, but secretly they smoke high-end cigarettes and drink expensive wines.

Where did the money saved by the village go? Didn't it go into their own pockets and stomachs?

Grassroots leaders have great power and lax supervision, so it is easy for them to enrich themselves and abuse their power for personal gain.

Talking about his time as a clerk in Weishui Township, although Li Lin was not greedy or possessive, he could not control the people under him.

He had no relatives or friends who came to him to ask for projects, so the projects became a bargain for the committee members and deputy township heads under him. They all reached out to the projects, hoping to make as much money as they could.

Fortunately, the projects during his tenure were completed with guaranteed quality and quantity, and the prices were lower than the market price.

As the saying goes, "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish." If you are too honest, no one will be willing to follow you and work hard for you. No matter how big your ambitions are, it will be useless if no one implements them.

So sometimes turning a blind eye can be a kind of wisdom in dealing with the world.

"I also hate this phenomenon. When I have the ability in the future, I will definitely put an end to this trend." Li Lin said calmly.

Xu Wen looked solemn and nodded seriously.

She couldn't help but think of her brother Xu Yillong, wondering if her brother's business had any connection with her father Xu Yongchang.
