Cheng Wei said, "Well, tell me if you find out. I'm also curious about who sent this gunman."

He was so calm because he knew that the Shannan police alone would never be able to find out the identity of the gunman.

Li Lin naturally knew that if the gunman was sent by Cheng Wei, then his identity was likely confidential and could not be found, let alone arrested. It was estimated that the gunman had now returned to a military department in the provincial capital. The military and the government were separated... How to check?

Li Lin sighed and said, "Minister Cheng, I have a question I would like to ask you."

Cheng Wei, "You say."

Li Lin said, "If I have evidence that some Hanjiang cadres have violated laws and disciplines, do you think I should give it directly to the discipline inspection department, or to Secretary Wang? Or..."

Li Lin wanted to say that he could use this notebook to threaten these cadres to use it for his own benefit, as some people did. Or, he could just destroy it and pretend that this evidence did not exist. But he did not say it. Once these words were spoken, his political stance would be seriously questioned. He just wanted to find out how much Cheng Wei knew about this matter and what he thought.

Cheng Wei paused while drinking his tea, obviously quite surprised.

He didn't expect that Li Lin still didn't trust him and actually used these words to test his position.

He sighed that the Li Lin in front of him was no longer the young man he had just met.

He has a quick mind, political acumen, and deep scheming...

He knew that at this moment, Li Lin was closely watching his every word and action, and he would be exposed if he was not careful.

Li Lin was indeed just as he thought, staring intently at the subtle expressions on his face, trying to find a flaw in his body language.

Even if it's just a simple frown...it represents Cheng Wei's attitude towards this matter!

Cheng Wei placed the teacup in his hand steadily on the table, looked at Li Lin seriously, and said, "Xiao Lin, do you really want to hear my opinion?"

Li Lin nodded silently, "Yes! I want to hear your true opinion."

"Okay! Let's talk about it!" Cheng Wei sat up straight and said, "If this thing you're talking about really exists, I suggest you give it to me!"

"Oh?" Li Lin asked in surprise, "Why?"

Cheng Wei said, "I know what you are worried about. I can neither represent the Commission for Discipline Inspection nor am I from the public security, procuratorate or court... You are worried that I will use this evidence to seek personal gain, or even turn Hanjiang upside down. Is that right?"

Li Lin smiled and said, "It's just a hypothesis. Minister Cheng is too serious."

Cheng Wei still said seriously, "Let's assume it's true! I'll tell you why it's wiser to hand it over to me than to hand it over directly to the Commission for Discipline Inspection or Secretary Wang."

Li Lin listened carefully.

Cheng Wei's voice was not loud, but it was deafening.

He said, "If you hand it over, your life will be ruined. From now on, you will be a marginal figure in Hanjiang's political circle, and you will have no future! But I, Cheng Wei, have a Yanjing background. If I hand this thing over, no one can do anything to me! Even if Hanjiang can't accommodate me, I can go back to Beijing! As for you...you will only be at the county and department level in this life!"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Wei was actually considering Li Lin's future.

Li Lin didn't speak for a long time.

Cheng Wei stood up, moved closer to Li Lin, put his hand on his shoulder, and said sincerely, "Xiao Lin, some mistakes are fatal, you must not do anything stupid. With your current strength, you are not enough to compete with those people... Today you were besieged and shot, isn't that enough to alert you?"

Li Lin nodded slowly and said, "Yes, I admit that I am shocked by the extent to which those people are unscrupulous!"

Seeing that Li Lin remained unmoved and had no intention of handing over the notebook, Cheng Wei could only say disappointedly, "If you have nothing else to tell me, I will go back to the provincial party committee first... I will inform Secretary Wang Jin of what happened today and ask him to urge the Provincial Public Security Department to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible. No matter who is behind this, no matter what his purpose is, if he dares to cross the line, he will be severely punished! Don't worry, everything will be done in secret and the impact will not be expanded. Don't run around during this period, stay in the county town honestly and wait for the result of the case."

This was a hint to Li Lin that even if the mastermind behind the incident was found, it would not reveal that he was holding the black book. Everything should be handled coldly, and it would not have a negative impact on him.

Li Lin said, "Okay, I will also urge the Shannan police to find out the truth as soon as possible."

They both knew that the person behind the scenes was Tu Ming, but neither of them said it out loud.

Cheng Wei stood up and walked to the door, then turned around and weighed the briefcase, jokingly saying, "This tea is good, I'll take it. This doesn't count as bribery."

Li Lin smiled and said, "I bought it at my own expense, and it's not public money for personal use."

The two walked down the stairs side by side.

Just before getting on the bus.

Cheng Wei looked back at Li Lin and smiled slightly, his eyes were very complicated, like concern, encouragement, and expectation...

Li Lin also smiled and nodded at him, and told him to drive slowly and be careful on the road.

Cheng Wei smiled, turned around and got into the car.

One of them was in the car, the other was outside, and they waved goodbye.

As soon as the car entered the highway, Cheng Wei took out his cell phone and called Li Lan.

Cheng Wei sighed and said, "Xiao Lan, we misjudged Xiao Lin. He seems very determined to bring down Tu Ming himself. No matter how I hinted, he had no intention of handing the notebook to me. I wonder if he doesn't trust me enough."

When he said this, he felt a little sad. His mood at the moment was just like what was said in the ancient poem: I wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch... Everything couldn't be too obvious, he really didn't know how to show his loyalty to Li Lin.
