Wang Jingye, Jiang Weiming, Liu Haibo and Li Jianjun exchanged glances silently.

It seems that the people who want to deal with them have considerable power.

The four of them were horrified by the thought that an official could commit suicide out of fear of punishment, or that an official could be poisoned immediately after the matter was likely to be discovered.

Their eyes fell on Xia Weian at the same time. If Secretary Xia hadn't discovered the problematic document in time...

They really couldn't get angry about this matter, but fortunately their secretary Xia's ability was far beyond their imagination.

The four of them all remembered Xia Weian's favor in their hearts.

The incident became so serious that all members of the investigation team were also investigated.

Xia Weian was subjected to another round of strict scrutiny.

The investigation work was in a difficult situation for the province because this incident caused a lot of uproar.

Lei Jun was scolded by his direct superior and had to temporarily give up his position as the leader of the investigation team and return to the province to make detailed explanations.

As for Xia Weian, he finally finished his work in the investigation team and was sent back home.

The people in charge of the investigation suspected that those people wanted to catch the entire leadership team of the steel plant in one fell swoop, and they did not take any responsibility themselves, but put all the blame on Xia Weian.

That's why Xia Weian was invited to participate in the investigation at the beginning.

Originally, Xia Weian was from the steel plant. No matter how outstanding his abilities were, he should not have participated in the investigation.

His participation was not in compliance with procedures from the beginning, so Xia Weian had nothing to do with it during the second review.

Xia Weian successfully escaped from this incident.

Wang Jingye immediately gave Xia Weian a week off, allowing him to adjust at home. After all, the work during this period was really hard.

And if it weren't for Xia Weian, they wouldn't have been able to extricate themselves from this storm so easily.

For both public and private reasons, Wang Jingye should let Xia Weian have a good rest.

With the vacation, Xia Weian can move around more conveniently.

He rested at home for half a day, then said he wanted to go hunting in the mountains to relax, and left.

The girls at home were grumbling, "Dad just came back, why is he gone again? It's so cold going hunting in the mountains in the middle of winter!"

Song Qingyun soothed him gently, "Kids, your father has been under a lot of work pressure lately. Hunting can help him relieve stress."

"Besides, don't we have a house in Qingshan Village? If your father can't come back at night, it's the same if he stays there."

"But it's dangerous on the mountain." Xia Ruokui said with some concern.

"Don't worry, your father has experience, we should trust him." Song Qingyun comforted.

After hearing what their mother said, the children had no choice but to accept the fact that their father had gone into the mountains to hunt and would not be back for a week.

Xia Weian was beside Lei Jun at this time.

Watching Lei Jun pacing back and forth in his office, he always looked at the phone and didn't dare to make the call.

Xia Weian frowned coldly.

The phone rang, and Lei Jun was about to speak when an irritable voice suddenly rang out from the other end of the line, "Lei Jun, you can't even handle such a small matter?"

Lei Jun shuddered, "Leader, I..."

"Don't explain. How did this matter get to the point where Xia Weian discovered the forged bills and even told the factory director and deputy director in front of them that someone was targeting them? I think you don't want to work in the province anymore!"

"Do you think the Wang, Li, and Jiang families are vegetarians? Don't underestimate Liu Haibo because he's just a technician. His teacher is famous all over the country!"

"This matter can no longer be concealed. Everyone who should know knows it. You should figure out how to deal with the follow-up."

After saying that, the phone was hung up.

Xia Weian frowned. He really didn't expect that Lei Jun would hang up after cursing without saying a word...

Say a little more so that he can collect some useful information.

Lei Jun looked solemn and thought for a long time.

If it weren't for Xia Weian, the people in their investigation team wouldn't have discovered the problem. Even if they did, they would have quietly reported it to him instead of blaming the wrong person...

This matter was failed by Xia Weian.

He still doesn't know why the people above wanted to involve Xia Weian.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.

Lei Jun knew that only by leaving his current position could he escape unscathed.

Now that he has no value, the people above him won't keep such a close eye on him.

He wrote the resignation letter himself. He is not young anymore, so he retired this time.

Lei Jun thought about it and sighed softly.

He said to himself, "It's better to retire. If I retire, I won't have to get involved in these messy things anymore."

"At least I'm still clean on the surface, so I'm not going to die."

Lei Jun sighed heavily again before handing in his resignation.

After he submitted his resignation, Xia Weian knew that he could no longer get any useful information from him.

So Xia Weian took advantage of the time when Lei Jun went home and no one took over the office and secretly conducted a search.

There was no trace of it in Lei Jun's office.

But Xia Weian didn't believe that Lei Jun didn't leave him any tricks.

These people have experienced ups and downs in officialdom, and it is probably not uncommon for them to see people being abandoned after their work has been done.

In order to survive, one must keep some life-saving items in his hands.

Xia Weian followed Lei Jun to his home again. Lei Jun's home had four bedrooms and two living rooms and was very large.

Only Lei Jun and his wife were at home. His son and daughter were married and not at home.

Lei Jun's wife saw that he looked depressed and asked with concern, "Are you really not going to continue?"

"I can still get away with it if I leave now. If I continue to participate, those people will continue to target the steel mill."

"What should I do about the steel mill? If I continue to participate, I'm afraid I'll be imprisoned."

Lei Jun's wife sighed, "But if you step down now, I'm afraid the higher-ups will be unhappy."

"So what if I'm not satisfied? I've already stepped down and I don't want to be involved anymore."

Lei Jun looked at his wife.

"I know about your relationship with that side, but can you please also consider me? I just want to live a decent life. Now my dignity has been lost by half. If I continue..."

Lei Jun looked at his wife, whose eyes were obviously evasive.

Xia Weian suddenly realized that perhaps the person who was really closely related to that side was not Lei Jun, but his wife.

"Lao Lei, that's not what I meant. I just hope you'll think it over carefully. If this is your decision, I will definitely support you. We are husband and wife, and even if my relationship with them is close, can it be closer than ours?"

Lei Jun breathed a sigh of relief and held his wife's hand, "That's good."

After Lei Jun finished speaking, he finally relaxed and leaned back on the sofa at home.

Lei Jun's wife gently massaged his temples, and soon Lei Jun fell asleep.

It was the kind of sleep where you lose consciousness...
