Chapter 502: Eve of the Storm



"Okay, then I'll continue to interrogate her."

Qi Xu responded and slowly stood up.

He nodded slightly to Li Lin, then turned and left.

After coming out of Li Lin's office, Qi Xu's mouth corners slightly raised and he sneered.

He muttered to himself, "Why don't you come up with a solution?" Humph, you have never handled a case before, and you are still talking big!

In Qi Xu's eyes, Li Lin was just like a layman meddling in a professional field, just like a professional welder who found it ridiculous to see a bricklayer insisting on taking part in welding work.

Qi Xu did not return to the interrogation room, but went straight back to his own separate office.

He sat down on the chair behind the desk, leaned back, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Qu Junfeng.

His fingers tapped quickly on the screen, giving instructions - review carefully, review seriously, and use force!

Of course, the methods he was talking about were mainly mental torture.

He planned to use the words that Chu Yao least wanted to hear to provoke her, causing her to break down emotionally, become hysterical, and even go crazy.

Physical torture would also be used a little, such as not allowing her to sleep.

Qi Xu felt that if this continued, Chu Yao would not be able to hold on for long and would beg for mercy.

By then, in order to leave this place as soon as possible, she would tell you whatever you asked her.

This is an unconventional measure and is generally not used lightly unless it is really unbearable.

At this moment, Chu Yao has completely touched Qi Xu's reverse scale, and the anger in his heart has burned to the extreme.

"Humph, you little girl, you have such a big mouth. Not to mention that your father is in jail now, even if he was fine, he would have to behave properly in our Commission for Discipline Inspection interrogation room! If Secretary Chen hadn't forbidden to expand the scope of the interrogation, you would have been arrested long ago. Why are you still letting you act arrogantly here? You really don't know what you are talking about!"

Qi Xu leaned back in his swivel chair, muttering to himself and swaying his body gently, his face full of disdain and anger.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

Qi Xu frowned subconsciously and looked at the caller ID on the phone screen - Peng Yutao!

Qi Xu couldn't help but feel a little confused. Why was this guy calling him at this time?

The two of them had already known each other when Peng Yutao was working in the provincial party committee.

Later, because of their work interactions, the two gradually became familiar with each other and became good old friends.

In the past, during the holidays, Peng Yutao would visit Qi Xu's home and bring him some Pingyang local "specialties".

If the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had any internal information or news, Qi Xu would secretly inform Peng Yutao, and the contact between the two sides has always been close.

But this time things were different.

Qi Xu heard some rumors that Peng Yutao seemed to be involved in Lu Chengze's case and his current situation was very dangerous.

Qi Xu knew in his heart that as the saying goes "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", even if the two of them had some friendship, it would be better to cut off contact during such a sensitive period to avoid getting into trouble.

Qi Xu thought about it secretly and decisively pressed the button to reject the call.

At this time, Peng Yutao, who was in the office, was extremely anxious.

He paced back and forth in the office, feeling very conflicted. Finally, he mustered up the courage to call Qi Xu.

He thought that after all, they had a good relationship, and if Qi Xu had any news about him, he would definitely not hide it from him. He wanted to find out the truth through this phone call.

He held the phone tightly to his ear with great anticipation, thinking about how to ask questions once the call was connected, when suddenly, there was a busy tone from the other end of the line.

Peng Yutao's heart sank suddenly, and an unprecedented sense of fear instantly spread throughout his body.

He and Qi Xu have known each other for so many years, and this is the first time that the other party has rejected his call.

what does that mean?

Could it be that he had been listed as a key target for investigation by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Qi Xu refused to accept the interview in order to avoid suspicion?

Peng Yutao's legs went limp and he slumped into his chair, looking up at the ceiling with empty eyes.

He regretted it so much that his intestines almost turned green.

He kept thinking in his heart, how good it would have been if he had not listened to Chu Guoan at the beginning?

As long as you don't help him, the provincial party committee leaders may not hold you accountable even if he digs up old things from the past.

But now everything is different, the nature has completely changed!

He and Chu Guoan are already tied to the same rope, and will be liquidated by the provincial party committee sooner or later.

Peng Yutao closed his eyes weakly, praying silently in his heart that all this was just a nightmare. He really wished that he had never helped Chu Guoan deal with Li Lin.

Just as he was immersed in regret, there was a light knock on the office door.

"Come in."

Peng Yutao didn't even look at the door, he closed his eyes and said coldly.

The secretary cautiously pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Peng Yutao's gloomy face, his heart tightened.

"What's the matter?" Peng Yutao asked impatiently, still with his eyes closed.

The secretary swallowed and replied in a low voice, "Secretary Peng, Mayor Qian is back."

"What?!" When Peng Yutao heard this, his heart trembled, as if he was struck by lightning.

He suddenly opened his eyes, stood up angrily, supported his hands on the table, and asked hysterically, "With what identity did he come back? Why didn't the provincial party committee notify me in advance?" His eyes were wide open and his expression was very ferocious.

The secretary was so frightened by Peng Yutao's appearance that he stood there in a daze. After a long while, he trembled and whispered, "I also heard it from my colleagues at the municipal government. I haven't received any notice from the provincial party committee. I heard from people at the municipal government that Mayor Qian has finished his reflection and the leaders of the provincial party committee's organization department sent him back. He...he should have been reinstated."
