But before he died, he had one more thing to do.
He wanted to sincerely apologize to Li Lin, not asking for his forgiveness, but only to ease the guilt in his heart.
In fact, from the beginning, he had a very good impression of Li Lin, and even regarded Li Lin as a "benchmark of life". He felt that an official should be like Li Lin, with courage and determination to fight! But what made him ashamed was that he could not compare with Li Lin. Li Lin had a group of big men as his backers, while he was just a chess piece thrown by Lu Chengze, a pawn without any background!
Therefore, when facing the leader, he always appears very unconfident and often remains silent. He thinks that if he doesn't speak, he won't make mistakes, and if he doesn't express his opinion, he will have less trouble... In fact, the root of all this is because of his inferiority complex that is engraved in his bones.
He didn't even dare to argue with Liu Yong in person, and could only hide in the office and curse secretly to vent his dissatisfaction.
Sometimes he even looked down on himself and thought it was shameful to be an official like him!
After a moment of hesitation, he dialed Li Lin's number.
The phone rang several times before it was connected.
Li Lin said in a cold tone, "County Magistrate Ma..."
When Ma Qingyuan heard Li Lin's voice, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and then he said with some difficulty, "Xiao Lin, are you still busy? Do you have time to listen to my nagging?"
Li Lin was silent for two seconds and said, "I'm not busy. Please go ahead."
Although he knew that Ma Qingyuan was a sinner, Li Lin still respected him until this moment!
Ma Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said slowly, "Xiao Lin, I made a mistake. I know I don't deserve to be forgiven, but I still want to say to you, Xiao Lin, I'm sorry! I hope you can always keep your original intention and fight against those evil forces to the end... I know you have the ability, and I envy you, but I can never be you in this life... Xiao Lin... Haha... I'll treat you to a drink when you come back... Goodbye!"
“County Magistrate Ma…!”
Before Li Lin could speak, Ma Qingyuan hung up the phone.
Everything he just said had been recorded by Li Lin.
At this moment, Li Lin recalled Ma Qingyuan's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong... He could faintly hear Ma Qingyuan choking twice.
Does he know that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is going to take action against him?
But why did he call me at this time?
Shouldn't a normal person use this period of time to try to find someone through connections to inquire about the matter?
Why...did he say those meaningful words to himself?
Why does it sound like a final farewell?
“Oh no!”
Li Lin's heart trembled, realizing that Ma Qingyuan had thoughts of committing suicide, and he quickly called Qian Lingyun.
As soon as the call was connected, Li Lin said hurriedly, "Leader, Ma Qingyuan just called me! He seems to have known that the Commission for Discipline Inspection is going to take measures... I'm worried that he will commit suicide out of fear of punishment!"
"What?! We have just figured out how to arrest him, how could he realize it so quickly? What did he tell you?" Qian Lingyun's eyes widened in shock, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. This was a task assigned by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. If he messed up and couldn't report it, Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee would be furious!
He stood there with his fists clenched nervously...
Yang Heping and Liu Yong in the room saw his expression and also showed solemn expressions.
Li Lin guessed right. Sure enough, the Municipal Party Committee was going to take action against Ma Qingyuan now... Now there was no time to find out who leaked the news. The most important thing was to find a way to save the situation!
"Leader! I can hear that he is in a very low mood. Just in case, I suggest that comrades from the county discipline inspection commission immediately take Ma Qingyuan under control!" Li Lin said decisively.
Qian Lingyun nodded without hesitation and agreed, "I understand! I'll arrange it now!"
Hang up the phone.
Yang Heping asked who called and what happened.
Qian Lingyun did not answer him, but directly ordered, "Old Yang, call the Shannan County Discipline Inspection Commission now and ask them to send someone to the county government immediately to control Ma Qingyuan first! Liu Yong! Don't sit here, go back to the county immediately and do everything you can to appease Ma Qingyuan!"
"Secretary...Ma Qingyuan?" Liu Yong looked surprised and confused, not understanding what was going on.
In accordance with Qian Lingyun's instructions, Yang Heping has issued an order to the Shannan County Discipline Inspection Commission to control Ma Qingyuan.
Qian Lingyun sighed and said to the two, "Xiao Lin just called. He's worried that Ma Qingyuan might commit suicide out of fear of punishment!"
When these words were spoken, Yang Heping and Liu Yong showed shocked expressions, full of disbelief.
"I'll go back to Shannan now! I'll find a way to appease Lao Ma..."
Liu Yong didn't dare to delay any longer and got up and left.
Yang Heping also hurried to the Shannan County Government with the investigators from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
