In order not to worry his aunt Li Rong, Li Lin returned to the township government dormitory overnight.

When he arrived at the village, Li Lin called Li Lan.

He briefly told Li Lan what happened in the evening.

Then, I felt inexplicably worried, so I said, "Sister, they approached me to contain you, and I'm worried that they will do something bad to you."

Li Lan pretended to be calm, "Don't worry, I have always lived between two places, either at the provincial party committee or at the apartment... Both places are very safe, no one would think of breaking in and doing anything to me."

"It's better to be careful and try not to go anywhere. This incident shows that Lan Xiaoqin is a woman who will do anything to achieve her goals. Who knows what she will do when she goes crazy." Li Lin said worriedly.

Lan Xiaoqin must know that if she doesn't win Li Lan's support, her promotion to mayor of Pingyang will be greatly hindered.

However, Lan Xiaoqin visited Li Lan many times to show her goodwill and tried to bribe Li Lan, but was rejected by Li Lan.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Lan was firmly opposed to Lan Xiaoqin taking over as mayor, and he was also disgusted with people like Lan Xiaoqin who would do anything to achieve their goals.

In order to win Li Lan's support, Lan Xiaoqin put a lot of thought into it, but to no avail...

It can be said that Li Lan and Lan Xiaoqin have already torn their relationship apart in this matter, and there is no room for maneuver.

Li Lin was afraid that she would become desperate...if she tried to use the dirty trick of drugging Li Lan and taking photos, the consequences would be disastrous!

"It's okay, Xiaolin, you really don't have to worry about me, I will protect myself." Li Lan's tone was fearless, "No matter what Lan Xiaoqin does to me, I will never support her."

"She actually dared to send someone to hurt you. You can never forgive her! I will contact the Public Security Bureau and have Du Tianyu nailed to death. It would be best if I could pry his mouth open and use this opportunity to bring down Lan Xiaoqin!"

"If she has any ability, let her go to the Discipline Inspection Commission and see if she can continue to dream of becoming the mayor of Pingyang!"

Li Lan spoke very easily, as if everything was a natural progression.

However, Li Lin could sense the risk in it.

It’s not that I’m afraid, I’m just worried about Li Lan.

"How about this, I'll go to the provincial capital to accompany you tomorrow." Li Lin said.

"If you are just worried about me, then there is really no need... But if you miss me, then I welcome you to stay for two days."

Li Lan didn't know why he said that. After he finished speaking, he realized that he had lost his composure and smiled awkwardly.

"Yeah, I do miss you, and I feel a little uneasy without you."

Li Lin smiled, still a little surprised that Li Lan could say such ambiguous words to him.

"Well, come if you want, there's a place to stay anyway..."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Early the next morning.

Li Lin called Yang Ping.

I briefly told Yang Ping what happened last night.

It just talked about how Du Feiyu had ulterior motives, but did not mention the drugging.

As for that million dollar check…the people were dirty, but the money was clean.

It would definitely be a good thing if it could still be used for the renovation of Shangshui Village Primary School.

Sometimes if you want to get things done, you can't ask for too much.

However, he was not sure whether the check could be cashed, so he had to give it to Yang Ping and ask her to find someone to try.

"I didn't expect Du Feiyu to be this kind of person... Did you suffer any loss?"

Yang Ping asked with concern.

Li Lin shook his head, feeling mixed emotions. He thought of Zheng Pei...it was hard to describe.

"I'll leave the work in the village to you for now. I need to go to the province to do some work. Please lend me your car for a while."

Yang Ping pouted and reluctantly handed the car keys to Li Lin.

It’s not that I was reluctant to part with the car, but when I heard that Li Lin had just returned and was going to the provincial capital again, I felt a little reluctant and jealous.

After all, Li Lin's female classmate and Li Lan were both in the provincial capital, so who knew if he was going there to do something or not...

After explaining everything, Li Lin took Qiao An to the provincial capital. Looking at the time, they thought they could arrive around noon.

now.

Office of Li Lan, Provincial Party Committee.

At ten o'clock she was still chatting with Li Lin on the phone, telling him to drive slowly and that she would go home and prepare lunch for him at noon.

About ten minutes later, Zhang Tiantian suddenly called.

"Hello, Tiantian, is there anything wrong?" Li Lan asked with a smile.

Li Lan had no aversion to Zhang Tiantian, even though she felt a little embarrassed to have washed her underwear last time.

"Minister Li, I noticed that a new hot pot restaurant opened next to the provincial party committee. The food is really delicious. Could you please come and treat me to a meal at noon?" Zhang Tiantian's voice is very distinctive. When you hear her voice, you can imagine how sweet her smile is on the other end of the phone.

Li Lan was not particularly surprised by Zhang Tiantian's invitation, because Zhang Tiantian had been in contact with her frequently since they had worked together in a research group.

Sometimes it’s just a voice greeting, and sometimes I’ll ask her out for tea.

If it were normal times, Li Lan would not refuse.

But she had just promised to wait and cook for Li Lin, so she rejected Zhang Tiantian without hesitation.

"Let's do it another day, Tiantian. I have something to do at noon today." Li Lan said calmly.

"Is that so..." Zhang Tiantian was a little disappointed. She said unwillingly, "Minister Li, I actually have something to tell you. Can we meet without dinner?"

"Then come to my office?"

"It's a private matter. It's not convenient in the office. Let's talk about it outside...Well, how about going to that teahouse we often go to?" Zhang Tiantian said in an almost pleading tone.

Li Lan was a little hesitant, but seeing that it was still early before noon, and Zhang Tiantian was just a little girl, what bad intentions could she have?
