Chapter 229 Don’t blame me for being merciless
Jiang Jingyan knew she was shy, so he moved his lips away, rested his forehead against hers, rubbed his back teeth and endured it, "Go out and wait."
Chen Qing was dazed, straightened his collar, and sat down at the island counter. "I'll watch you do it."
Breakfast is simple, sandwich and milk.
Sister Qin took the servants to clean the courtyard and tidy up the furniture piled up upstairs. No one came into the restaurant to disturb them.
Jiang Jingyan spoke slowly, the screen of his mobile phone flashing silently beside him. He glanced at it and put it upside down on the table.
Chen Qing pursed her lips, "Are you going to work today?"
"Go." He ate quickly, finishing in two or three minutes, and then wiped his mouth. "I have two meetings, so I'll go home this afternoon."
"What about me?"
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Qing didn't say anything, as if saying anything would break this rare warmth and tranquility.
Jiang Jingyan held a cigarette in his mouth without lighting it, leaning back. "Wan Lihong's confession is in the safe in the study. I've saved the password on your phone. Remember it and delete it later."
He fully understood what she was worried about and her unspeakable secrets.
"Have you seen Li Xiangli's wife?"
Chen Qing swallowed the milk and asked, "Yes, did you find her?"
"Yeah." Jiang Jingyan tapped his fingers on the table intermittently. "With her confession and Wan Lihong, the city will secretly arrest Li Xiangli. With these three people, the Chen family case will be reopened."
"Li Xiangli is in Yan Baiqing's hands."
"I know."
Chen Qing was worried. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Jiang Jingyan accompanied her to finish breakfast, gave Sister Qin a few instructions, and left the car keys. "Don't go out unless necessary. If there is an emergency and I can't get back in time, Lian Zhuo will come to pick you up. If you use this car and someone asks where you are, do you know what to say?"
"Know."
Jiang Jingyan changed his shoes at the entrance, hugged her, and put his lips to her ear, "Wait for me to come home."
Chen Qing buried her head in his shoulder, her fingertips extended to the man's waistband, and poked inside mischievously, "Get off work early."
He lowered his voice, which was magnetic and deep, and teased, "Not full?"
Her face flushed immediately and she pushed him, "I'm so full and sick."
Last night, Jiang Jingyan didn't let her have a moment of rest. He made her kneel, sit, lie down, and stand, using all his tricks. Usually, when she was exhausted, Jiang Jingyan would sympathize with her and not torment her too much. This time, he coaxed and tricked her into counting, stopping when she reached a certain number of times. But then he would use a new trick, and all the energy she had accumulated in the past few days was used up.
At dawn in the morning, Jiang Jingyan had a big appetite and carried her into the bathroom again.
It was such a crazy experience, the feeling of pleasure was real, but it was also real that I couldn't walk.
Chen Qing watched him leave. The sky was clear and the man stopped at the gate of the courtyard and looked back. His strong body was like a towering mountain in the sunlight.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Jingyan smiled at her. All the brilliance and brightness at this moment could not compare to his high spirits.
Chen Qing took a deep breath, his heart aching, as if he sensed something.
…
Jiang Jingyan took a taxi to Huasheng.
Lian Zhuo was waiting by the roadside, opened the car door, and followed closely to report, "The chairman is here."
The man didn't expect it, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What did you say?"
"No, probably coming to inspect."
The chairman is nearing retirement. He has been bedridden since the year before last and is older than Jiang Zhongyi. If it is just an internal inspection within the group, the board of directors will not bother him. If it is an inspection by the province, he will not be the only one.
Jiang Jingyan understood what was going on and went upstairs to the inner room of the office to change into a spare suit.
Lian Zhuo adjusted his tie and collar for him and said solemnly, "The city has made all the arrangements. Li Xiangli's wife will be under local custody, and Wan Lihong will be under the custody of the Municipal Bureau."
"Where's the provincial department?"
"Secretary Liang didn't call, so I guess there's nothing going on."
Jiang Jingyan checked his cell phone. Liang Jing had called him three times but failed to contact Lian Zhuo. It seemed that his superiors were furious and brewing a storm.
Huasheng's morning meeting was primarily focused on implementing the province's first task of the year: hosting the opening ceremony and special events for the Year of Diplomatic Relations. Jiang Jingyan's purge within the group had been nearly complete, with preliminary work in place and follow-up progress proceeding smoothly. The higher-ups hoped to redeem themselves from previous losses caused by internal conflicts.
Jiang Jingyan did not speak throughout the process. When the heads of various departments reported on the progress, he just nodded and signaled to move forward. If there were any objections, he would briefly remind the other party to redo the investigation.
The chairman did not show up until the end of the meeting.
Jiang Jingyan walked out of the conference room and Lian Zhuo greeted him, "In your office."
"one person?"
"Um."
He took off his coat and draped it over his arm. "What time is the afternoon meeting?"
"Three o'clock."
"Tell the chairman, I'm busy preparing for the meeting and don't have time. You can host the dinner."
Lian Zhuo stared at his back in amazement.
Jiang Jingyan drove to the city conference hall himself. From a distance, he saw Liang Jing and Zheng Yuan standing at the door and sighed helplessly.
"Are you blocking me?" He didn't get out of the car, his elbows resting on the window, a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers.
Liang Jing's expression was solemn, and his tone was even more solemn, "Jing Yan, you were fooling around before, but don't you understand the nature of this time?"
Jiang Jingyan raised his eyelids. Although he was clearly shorter than the two men, his aura was intimidating. "Deputy Director Zheng, are you here to convict me?"
Zheng Yuan choked, unable to vent or swallow his anger. He couldn't convict. Jiang Jingyan, in his own name, brought witnesses to accuse the Chen family of a wrongful case. There was nothing wrong with it in terms of reason, law, and military discipline.
But Jiang Zhongyi had been secretly deploying in the province for many days, three points for the Chen family's grievances, and the remaining seven points mainly to expose Meng Hongwen's gang. His actions turned the province upside down. Fortunately, Jiang Zhongyi was prepared and secretly stopped them. When the higher-ups wanted to arrest Jiang Jingyan for questioning, it was Liang Jing who took the lead and persuaded him to stop.
"She just wants Chen Qing to inform on Mr. Jiang first and expose potential Meng's followers. She also used this as an excuse to get close to Yan Baiqing. Why did you use yourself as bait?"
"So you also know that the first person to report is the bait." The man's eyes were half-closed, his face was cold, and his tone was even colder. "What happened after Chen Qing reported it? Do you dare to say it?"
Liang Jing pursed her lips and turned around angrily.
Jiang Jingyan flicked off the cigarette ash with great force and put out the fire, leaving a wisp of pungent gray smoke rising.
"After the denunciation, my father has a countermeasure in the province. He cooperates with the higher-ups to put on a show. How could Meng Hongwen not notice it? He will think that Chen Qing and my father are in cahoots with each other. Have you ever thought about her situation then? To achieve the goal, you will stop at nothing. Is there any difference between you and the Meng Party?" He pressed on step by step, and Liang Jing's face turned pale.
Zheng Yuan jumped out to smooth things over, "You can't act so rashly, though. You have to give them a chance to come up with another plan."
Jiang Jingyan threw away his cigarette butt, his patience completely gone. "Their plan is to bypass me and persuade Chen Qing. I'm putting it this way. Since you're so high-sounding as to say you need a bait, I, Jiang Jingyan, will be the bait. I'm targeting Chen Qing, so don't blame me for being ruthless."
