Li Lin said unhappily, "Get out of the car quickly. I don't have time to eat with you."

Lu Tao was shameless and got out of the car laughing.

Arrived at the provincial party committee.

Li Lin went straight to meet the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Chen Guofu.

As soon as I walked downstairs, a familiar figure hurried out from the hall.

It was none other than Governor Zhao Yuehui.

Judging from his appearance, he must have something urgent to go out for, and the driver was waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs.

Li Lin instinctively stood by the glass door at the entrance and waited, wanting to wait until he left before going upstairs.

After Zhao Yuehui left the house, he somehow glanced sideways and saw Li Lin standing at the side of the door. He frowned slightly and waved at Li Lin, "What are you doing standing here stealthily, kid?"

Li Lin saw that there was no place to hide, so he walked forward with a smile and said, "Hello, Governor Zhao. I saw that you were in a hurry, and I was afraid that it would delay your work, so I stood aside and waited."

"Are you afraid of seeing me? You want to wait until I leave before going upstairs? What are you feeling guilty about, kid?" Zhao Yuehui suddenly stopped being anxious. He waved to the secretary behind him to get in the car first, and then he stood at the door and started arguing with Li Lin.

Li Lin was also very puzzled. He didn't understand what Zhao Yuehui meant. What was there to feel guilty about meeting Governor Zhao?

However, he just didn't know that Zhai Yuhan's men were arrested by Zhao Chengyi, Cao Ziming and others in Shannan County. Zhai Yuhan asked Zhao Yuehui for help, but before Zhao Yuehui could say anything, Secretary Wang Jin called him over and scolded him. His words were like - look at the friends you made! Weapons wounding people, mass brawls! Is there still law and justice?

Zhao Yuehui was so embarrassed that he couldn't raise his head in front of Wang Jin. Later, he thought about it again and again, and finally attributed the problem to Li Lin. He thought, if Li Lin didn't rely on Secretary Wang's support, would he dare to arrest people from Beijing at will? Later, he heard that people from the Yanjing headquarters came to Li Lin to plead for mercy, but Li Lin didn't give face. How arrogant!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuehui became furious.

Firstly, because Li Lin lost face in front of Wang Jin, and secondly, because he lost face in front of his friends in Beijing...

I just happened to run into Li Lin today, so I have to vent my emotions, right?

But Li Lin knew nothing about all this. Zhao Yuehui never called him from beginning to end. He just heard from Qian Lingyun that Zhao Yuehui had called on behalf of Zhai Yuhan... But who knows how serious this call was? Who would have thought that because of Li Lin's impartial law enforcement, Zhao Yuehui lost face and hated him?

Li Lin still kept smiling, and asked in confusion, "Governor Zhao, I don't understand what you are saying. I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I feel guilty? If there is anything I haven't done well, please let me know."

Zhao Yuehui's face darkened. He thought Li Lin was just kidding him and had no intention of admitting his mistake. So he snorted and said, "You have to make me point it out, right? Didn't Qian Lingyun tell you that I told him to take care of Zhao Chengyi's company? You, the parent official of Shannan County, are so great that you arrested Zhao Chengyi and his men! You don't even give face to anyone. Do you really want me to call you in person? I beg you, County Magistrate Li, to show some mercy?"

Hearing this, the smile on Li Lin's face gradually disappeared...

He never expected that the head of a province would openly intercede for several criminals and even scold Li Lin for it.

In the past, Li Lin had a good impression of Zhao Yuehui and thought he was a responsible leader. But his words today overturned Li Lin's perception of him. It seems that he needs to re-evaluate this Governor Zhao in the future!

Li Lin said calmly, "Governor Zhao, this is not a question of face. Zhao Chengyi's use of a gun to wound people and gang fighting are serious crimes involving gangs and evil... We have been working on the crackdown on gangs and evil in Hanjiang for so long, but such a bad incident can still happen. If we don't punish them severely, how can we explain to the people? Where is the credibility of our government? The people don't listen to our county government anymore, so how can our cadres carry out their work?"

Li Lin wanted to say something, but Zhao Yuehui raised his hand impatiently to interrupt him, "Enough! Don't tell me about the government's credibility! Whether it is related to gangs and evil, and how serious it is, isn't it your Shannan County Public Security Bureau that has given the status? Humph, I almost forgot that you are not only the parent official of Shannan, but also the special commissioner of the provincial department... You are a commissioner who is conscientious and responsible. Everyone looks like a criminal! Later, I will ask Pei Yulin to commend you!"

This is obviously sarcasm and ridicule!

Li Lin also knew very well that with just one word from Zhao Yuehui, he would no longer be a special commissioner tomorrow, or even the mayor of Shannan County!

If other county leaders were reprimanded by the governor, they would not dare to say a word in rebuttal and could only bow their heads and accept the reprimand.

But Li Lin just couldn't help it. Right is right, wrong is wrong. What's the meaning of you always making indirect accusations and making sarcastic remarks?

If he offended Zhao Yuehui because of the Zhao Chengyi incident and lost his job, Li Lin would accept it! From now on, he would never step into politics again. He would go to the university to be a teacher with Xu Wen and live a plain life!

To be honest, Li Lin was very disappointed. He always thought that even if some leaders disliked him and disagreed with his approach, they would never dare to stand up and say that what he did was wrong.

But now, Zhao Yuehui keeps talking about his face, as if his face is more important than the law, more important than everything!

Is this what is called...tremendous power?

Zhao Yuehui finally said, "Li Lin, I admired you at first and wanted to train you to be a senior cadre, but look at what you are doing now! You don't listen to anyone's orders and rush around recklessly! With your behavior, even if your sister Li Lan is in Beijing to protect you, I'm afraid she won't be able to stop you sooner or later! I think you should just take care of yourself! Humph..."
