Ma Tao wandered around Li Xiuyuan's office for a while. After quickly finishing his tour of Li Xiuyuan's office, Ma Tao's eyes were focused on the documents on Li Xiuyuan's desk.
Information about the bidding company.
Ma Tao glanced at the time. Li Xiuyuan had been gone for almost ten minutes. If it had been a short time, Ma Tao would definitely not have looked at the documents on Li Xiuyuan's desk. But Li Xiuyuan had been gone for ten minutes now, and the fact that he hadn't returned for so long gave the impression that he wouldn't be back anytime soon.
So Ma Tao turned his attention to the documents on Li Xiuyuan's desk. It just so happened that open bidding was the focus of the town government's political struggle, and the documents on Li Xiuyuan's desk were the information of the bidding companies.
Ma Tao was still very curious, so he got up and sat down in Li Xiuyuan's seat, looking through the bidding company's information.
Ma Tao looked at the bidding company's information without thinking anything of it. Although such behavior was somewhat impolite, the bidding company's information was not considered confidential. It was just that it was not within his job scope and not something he should be looking at.
Even if Li Xiuyuan really did come back, there's nothing we can say.
So when Ma Tao was looking at these documents, he felt relatively at ease. But as he looked, he suddenly discovered the whistleblower letter hidden underneath.
The yellow envelope, labeled "Letter of Complaint," made Ma Tao's heart skip a beat. A letter of complaint—who was this letter reporting?
Ma Tao himself is a discipline committee member, responsible for the discipline inspection work in the central town. In fact, he usually sees a lot of whistleblower letters. However, seeing a whistleblower letter in Li Xiuyuan's office makes people curious.
Ma Tao looked up and listened for a moment. There was no sound of footsteps in the corridor. He then picked up the envelope containing the complaint letter and took it out. As soon as he saw it, his face darkened.
The whistleblower letter stated that he had an affair with a female cadre in the town years ago, which was discovered by her husband, who then reported it to the town authorities. Many details in the whistleblower letter matched those of what happened back then, and even sounded like those of someone who had personally experienced the incident.
As Ma Tao watched, he gripped the letter of complaint tighter and tighter, the veins on his hands bulging, a fine layer of sweat appearing on his forehead, and his back completely soaked. He had never imagined that this matter from back then, which he thought had long been buried in the dust of his memory, would reappear in his life like a ghost at this moment.
Ma Tao quickly finished reading the letter. The contents of the whistleblower letter were so real, exactly the same as what had happened back then. When he refolded the letter and put it into the envelope, Ma Tao's hands were trembling. It took him a long time to fold the letter and put it in the envelope with trembling hands.
Then put the bidding documents back on.
After all this was done, Ma Tao's mind was still far from at peace. This matter was his taboo. Years passed, and no one mentioned it again. He was also successfully promoted to deputy section-level cadre and became a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
He thought the matter was over and done with, but it has resurfaced in this way today.
His first reaction was to destroy the letter of complaint, instinctively not wanting it to resurface. But seeing the torn marks on the letter, he knew that, regardless of others, Li Xiuyuan must have seen it.
