On the other side, Wu Aiguo hurried back to his residence in the county.

After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally made up his mind to burn his boats and fight to the death.

He knew in his heart that no matter who he asked for help, he had to give it a try and not just sit there and wait for death.

Thinking of this, he took out his cell phone, and with trembling fingers he dialed the number of Qi Xu, director of the Supervision Office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The phone continued to ring for a long time, and just when Wu Aiguo was almost in despair, it was finally connected.

His heart was relieved a little, and he said excitedly, "Director Qi, it's me, Wu Aiguo!"

There was silence on Qi Xu's side, without any noise. It was obvious that he had deliberately controlled the sounds around him, as if he was at a dinner party and suddenly raised his hand to signal. The whole place instantly became quiet, and everyone watched him answer the phone quietly.

After a moment, Qi Xu's indifferent voice came over, "Oh, Aiguo, why are you calling so late? Is there something wrong?"

Wu Aiguo asked cautiously, "Director Qi, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Qi Xu responded calmly, "It's convenient, go ahead."

Then, there was a sound of moving a chair from the phone.

Wu Aiguo was relieved and said boldly, "Director Qi, if it weren't for something extremely serious, I wouldn't dare to disturb you."

Qi Xu responded, "Well, go on, I'm listening."

Wu Aiguo had carefully organized his words. After getting Qi Xu's agreement, he immediately said, "Director Qi, there is a new county magistrate in our county, and there are some conflicts between us. I feel that he will take action against me soon, so..."

Shannan... new county chief...? Qi Xu understood instantly, this must be Li Lin!

Qi Xu had had contact with Li Lin before, and he had always paid special attention to Li Lin's every move.

Because he knew very well that Li Lin was no ordinary person, but a key figure who could report directly to Secretary Wang.

Therefore, he has been looking for opportunities to maintain a good relationship with Li Lin.

At this moment, Qi Xu had already understood the meaning of Wu Aiguo's words. He simply wanted him to mediate and let Li Lin let Wu Aiguo go for the sake of his position as the leader of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

If it were someone else, perhaps Qi Xu would consider it.

But the other party was Li Lin, someone he wanted to make friends with and whom he would never dare to offend easily.

How could he destroy his image in Li Lin's heart for a mere Wu Aiguo?

After thinking for a moment, Qi Xu did not directly reject Wu Aiguo's request, but smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll try my best. Is there anything else?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Qi Xu agree to try to help, he was immediately pleasantly surprised, as if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving piece of driftwood, and he was so excited that he kept thanking him.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Aiguo's mind became active again, thinking to himself, "With Qi Xu coming forward, I don't believe Li Lin dares not give face!"

On Qi Xu's side, after hanging up Wu Aiguo's call, he actually dialed Li Lin's number.

However, he was not pleading for Wu Aiguo.

After the call was connected, Qi Xu said seriously, "Hello, County Magistrate Li, I am Qi Xu. I have something to report to you. Your county's deputy county magistrate Wu Aiguo just called me and asked me to plead with you not to embarrass him... I rejected him sternly at the time!

I thought to myself, County Magistrate Li and I have fought side by side, how could I possibly speak for someone who breaks the law? In my opinion, County Magistrate Li, you don't have to care about my face at all. You should deal with such corrupt elements as you should, and it's best to punish them severely and severely, so as to deter those restless cadres in Shannan!"
