After hearing what Liang Yiyi said, Liang Jianjun nodded to the old man, meaning that he agreed with Liang Yiyi's proposal. So the old man thought for a moment and picked up the phone on the desk and dialed. He was not thinking about disagreeing with Yiyi's inference, but about how to word it.
After hanging up the phone, the old man went back to his room and changed into formal clothes. Liang Jianjun, still wearing his military uniform, took the documents and recordings that Liang Yiyi had obtained. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Liang Yiyi. "Grandpa, when you report to the higher-ups, just say that these documents were found by big brother. When big brother comes back, I'll tell him about the bug. It was Dad who realized something was wrong and sent big brother to investigate. These documents were found, and I have nothing to do with them. I'm just a victim."
The old man looked at Liang Yi with eyes full of wisdom for a long time without saying anything.
Liang Jianjun said, "Yiyi, you will join the army in the future. This will be a great achievement for you. If you do this..."
The old man interrupted Liang Jianjun before he could finish. "Just do as Yiyi says. It's not appropriate for Yiyi to be exposed to the public right now. That would only harm her. Let's go. Yiyi should go back and rest early." The two of them quickly left the room, got into the old man's Red Flag sedan, and headed straight for Zhongnanhai.
The stars are shining brightly tonight, reflecting Liang Yiyi's mood at the moment, which is extremely comfortable.
Watching the car drive away, Liang Yiyi sighed. Was this the end of it? No suspicion, no disbelief, just like that? Liang Yiyi felt like she was dreaming. How much must Grandpa and Dad dote on her to let her go so easily! Finally, after sighing, Liang Yiyi came to only one conclusion: having such a family was a blessing she had earned through several lifetimes. No matter how good she was to them, it would never be excessive, because they deserved it.
Back in the room, Liang Yiyi felt itchy at the thought of Ryoda Shinji's roomful of things. He always felt like he had gone to a mountain of treasures but came back empty-handed. No, he had to find a way to make those things his own. Otherwise, thinking about those things flying past him like that would make him unable to sleep.
Wang Haobing has been feeling depressed, irritable, and angry these past two days. He doesn't know why. A few days ago, a notice suddenly arrived from higher-ups saying someone had reported him for allegedly soliciting bribes. They ordered him to be immediately suspended and investigated, and told him to stay home until further notice.
Wang Haobing's experiences over the past two days are truly indescribable. When his usual friends see he's calling, they either hang up after a few words or don't answer at all. It's as if they're afraid they'll be implicated if they say anything more. In the end, only one friend who usually has a good relationship with him said a few more words to him, "Haobing, you say you're usually quite shrewd, so why are you so confused now? Who else would dare to get involved in something like this? Think about whether you've offended someone. Besides, you only have your wife, and wouldn't a simple matter like this be handled by a visit to her family? Why would you bother looking for connections when you have such a powerful support?"
Thinking back on his friend's words, he recalled the phone call his wife, Liang Jianlan, received last Sunday after returning from her brother-in-law's house. Since he wasn't working that day, he was right there when the call came in, and he heard the old man say, "If you can't manage your wife and children, then you don't have to work anymore. Just stay home and manage your own family first." Could this investigation be related to that incident? And the old man's words of admonishment to Liang Jianlan were clearly a warning that he was overreaching. It seemed his idea of matching Liang Wenlong with his niece was a bit too rash. Wang Haobing fell into deep thought.
Just as he was thinking about it, the phone call that had been idle for two days came to his mind. Wang Haobing glanced at the phone number, immediately turned down the volume, walked to the door, looked towards the living room, and then closed the door.
Liang Jianlan was in a bad mood these two days because Wang Haobing was suspended from work, so she went out to play mahjong. Wang Xiaoping would not be back until after nine o'clock after evening self-study, so he was the only one at home. When he answered the phone, a coquettish voice came through the microphone: "Hello, dear, why did you take so long to answer the phone? Why didn't you come over these two days?" Under normal circumstances, Wang Haobing would feel his bones soften when he heard this voice, but unfortunately he was in a bad mood today, so he could only perfunctorily say: "Piaoxue, I'm really too busy these two days and can't come over. You just stay at home and don't go out. I'll come to you as soon as I'm free." The woman on the other side naturally didn't want to do that, so Wang Haobing had no choice but to promise to give her a gift when they meet in a few days, and to make sure she was satisfied, and then he hung up the phone.
After Wang Haobing hung up the phone, he realized that Liang Jianlan must not find out about his mistress. Especially now, if he wanted to settle the matter at hand, he could only rely on Liang Jianlan. Although the old man had severed ties with Liang Jianlan years ago, Liang Jianlan had never broken off contact with her over the years. The old man didn't care about his daughter on the surface, but in fact, his family had a lot of trouble with that side. Even if the old man really didn't care, there was still Liang Jianjun!
He and Lan Piaoxue met in a high-end club in Beijing. From the first time he saw her, Wang Haobing was deeply attracted to this woman. Although she was just a public relations worker at the time, or a lady if you put it nicely, Wang Haobing didn't care anymore. He spent a lot of money to get her. Now they have been together for four or five years. Wang Haobing had asked her to quit her job in the club and bought her a house outside to support her.
It seems that Liang Jianlan will have to make a few trips to her parents' home when she comes back in the evening, otherwise when will this period of investigation end?
Wang Haobing emerged from the bedroom and sat on the sofa in the living room, surveying the 140-square-meter house. Liang Jianlan had always wanted a larger one when they'd bought it, but he'd disagreed. With only three people in the family, why would they want a 200-square-meter house? To show off? Thinking back, it was a good thing he hadn't listened to her. Women are often short on ideas.
But such a person is also easy to deceive, otherwise why would she follow him when she was young? The old man of the Liang family had already joined the Military Commission at that time. With her family's conditions, what kind of man could she not find? If she hadn't married Liang Jianlan, how could she have climbed the social ladder so high over the years? Although Liang Jianlan had a lot of bad habits, her mother said that Liang Jianlan's greatest advantage was that she was a "lucky husband."
Now that he thought about it, this might be the most correct thing his mother had ever said in her life. So he had to be nicer to Liang Jianlan these few days and make her happy so that he could have a chance of keeping his job.
