Under the current circumstances, Li Lin knew that choosing to meet Wu Chengzhu now would be a wise move.
After all, if the two could meet at this time, they could still share what they have and exchange crucial information.
For example, they wanted to find out how the Lao Gu's bottom lane was progressing, what difficulties he encountered in the process, and whether he needed external support! There were many questions that needed to be discussed by the two of them.
So, after a brief and serious chat with Hou Yaodong, Li Lin hurriedly took a car to the provincial department.
Along the way, his brows were furrowed, his eyes revealed a bit of worry, and his mind kept thinking about the various situations he might face. The street scenes outside the car window passed by quickly, but he had no intention of appreciating them.
Arriving at the gate of the provincial department, the guard stood tall and straight, like a pine tree. When he saw Li Lin, he was the first to raise his hand to salute, with standard and neat movements, and then politely said, "Please show me your ID!"
Li Lin had already made sufficient preparations for this trip. He calmly took out the "specialist" certificate that symbolized his special identity from his pocket and handed it steadily to the guard. At the same time, he said, "Look, is this okay?" His tone was calm, but with a hint of unquestionable aura.
The guard took the certificate with both hands respectfully. He only glanced at the eye-catching words "Special Commissioner" on the certificate. His attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees and he became more respectful to Li Lin.
He saluted again in a standard manner, then handed the ID back with both hands, his tone full of awe, "Hello, Chief, please come in!"
Li Lin took the ID with a smile, but a strange thought arose in his mind. He wondered if the comrade on guard had seen the photo and name clearly, and handed the ID back in such a hurry. Wasn't he afraid that it might be a fake?
It seems that anyone who stays in this local government for a long time will be more or less tainted with worldly airs, such as the ability to judge people by their appearance... You could also call it an improvement in vision!
After all, when he came a few days ago, Zhang Chi from the provincial office came down to greet him personally. At that time, the guards had already seen that Li Lin's identity was not ordinary, so when they met again today, they naturally looked up to him a lot. In this way, this certificate showing identity now seemed like an insignificant procedure when passing by.
As I walked into the provincial department compound, I was overwhelmed by an inexplicable feeling of desolation.
I don’t know if it’s because the weather has suddenly cooled down and the chill has invaded, making the atmosphere around here chilly, or because it’s near the end of the year and everyone is eager to go home, making the place less crowded, but it always feels so quiet everywhere, and there’s a dull and depressing atmosphere.
Li Lin's pace unconsciously quickened...
As he walked, when he came to the hall, he saw several policemen gathered in the corner, their figures seemed a little blurry in the dim light.
They lowered their voices and whispered to each other, as if they were discussing some confidential matter. They looked very mysterious.
When they noticed Li Lin, a stranger, stepping into the hall, their expressions suddenly tensed and they seemed extremely alert. They immediately turned their backs and took two quick steps inside. Then they continued to whisper to each other with serious expressions.
Li Lin frowned slightly, his heart full of doubts. Such sneaky behavior always makes people feel extremely weird!
Is there anything that can’t be discussed behind closed doors in your own office?
They had to gather in the corner of the hall in public like this, and acted as if they were afraid of being heard.
Moreover, the way they looked at Li Lin was panic, nervous, and surprised... It seemed that something was happening that shocked and frightened them. The bad premonition in Li Lin's heart became stronger and stronger, like a dark cloud gathering in his heart.
However, he did not stop his exploration, nor did he rashly lean over to eavesdrop. He suppressed his doubts and continued to walk towards Wu Chengzhu's office on the third floor. At this moment, his steps became more determined, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination, as if he wanted to break through the layers of fog and find the truth.
Arriving at the corridor on the third floor, which was seldom visited in the past, it seemed exceptionally lively today, with many curious figures appearing.
The doors of the offices were half-open. Some people poked their heads out from the cracks and kept looking towards Wu Chengzhu's office, their eyes full of inquiry and worry.
There were two female police officers who took advantage of the time when they were washing their hands in the bathroom to whisper something, and looked up nervously at Wu Chengzhu's office from time to time. They didn't even have time to wipe the water droplets on their hands, allowing them to slide down their fingertips.
What was even more surprising was that outside Wu Chengzhu's office, there were two policemen standing guard there, with their bodies straight, their eyes not looking away, and their expressions so solemn as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
"Something happened?" Li Lin's heart skipped a beat, as if he was struck by a bolt of lightning.
If something serious hadn't happened, why would the entire floor be so focused on the room where Wu Chengzhu was? His heart instantly hung in the air, and he quickened his pace, wanting to find out what was going on and dispel the uneasiness that lingered in his heart as soon as possible.
But when he walked quickly to the door of Wu Chengzhu, he was decisively stopped by the two policemen guarding there. One of the policemen stepped forward and asked seriously, "Comrade, who are you looking for?" His voice was low and powerful, with a bit of majesty.
Li Lin said seriously, "I'm looking for Director Wu."
"Oh, Director Wu is not available to meet guests now. Please leave here first." The police officer replied mercilessly, leaving no room for negotiation in his tone.
Li Lin's doubts grew stronger, and he asked, "Comrade, is Director Wu not at home?" His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
