Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Hong Guo said that Chang Zong would not be so reckless...
While Du Huixiang was taking a shower, Hongguo discussed with everyone and decided to call Director Wei, just like before, and let him listen to what happened on the other end of the phone.
Yu Shan disliked Director Wei and said it was unnecessary: "This has nothing to do with his duties, why should he know?"
Jiang Hongguo thought more carefully: "If Du Huixiang talks about her sister, it would be better to let Director Wei listen to it, so that we don't have to repeat it."
Yu Shan said, "Du Lianfang is with Wei Liangzheng. If you have any questions, just ask him directly."
Hong Guo patiently explained: "In your eyes, it's not a big deal, but the little things you think don't need to be mentioned are sometimes big things to others. So you better call them."
Gu Changzong didn't have the same good temper as Hongguo. He said to Yu Shan, "Why are you talking nonsense? Do as Hongguo said. Go and call Wei Liangzheng. Du Huixiang said that the new leader couldn't do what she wanted to say, but Wei Liangzheng could do it, right?"
Yu Shan was helpless and muttered, "It's already late at night. I can't guarantee that I can contact him."
In fact, he was worrying too much. Wei Liangzheng's phone number had someone on duty 24 hours a day. After he called, the comrade on duty immediately notified Wei Liangzheng.
So when Du Huixiang came out of the shower, Wei Liangzheng was already on the other end of the phone, waiting to hear what she had to say.
When Du Huixiang returned to the center and entered the house, she saw the telephone receiver had been picked up and put aside. She knew that Jiang Hongguo had a background, and the person on the other end of the phone must be her mysterious backer.
Du Huixiang asked, "Who's on the other end of the line?"
Jiang Hongguo said: "You know I won't tell you, and you don't need to know. We are all waiting, so don't waste your time."
Du Huixiang knew that today was her only chance, so she picked up the water poured for her on the table, took a big sip, and started talking.
"My sister Du Lianfang used to be a bully. She had no future. One day, she couldn't stand it anymore and ran away from home. My ex-brother-in-law's family scolded her and was reluctant to spend money on the trip. There was no place to look for her. More than half a year passed like this. When I thought my sister would never come back, she came back with her new brother-in-law."
"My new brother-in-law gave my ex-brother-in-law a lot of money to get him a divorce. My ex-brother-in-law and his family happily divorced. Then my sister and brother-in-law didn't stay for long, and didn't give us any money. They just left. My mother and my relatives scolded my sister for several days. After a while, my ex-brother-in-law's family, who showed off their wealth everywhere, were killed by gangsters. The case was solved, and it couldn't be linked to my sister and brother-in-law, but my intuition has always been accurate. I feel that my current brother-in-law deliberately gave so much money in a high-profile manner, so that my ex-brother-in-law's family would get into trouble because of the money."
"I knew in my heart that if I wanted to change my fate, I had to go find my sister, so I told my family to give me money for the trip. I went to ask my sister for some money. When I got there, I found that my sister, who had been very nice to me before, ignored me completely. But my brother-in-law cared about me and even introduced me to my current husband."
"Because of this, Sister Xiao was very angry with my sister and brother-in-law, but my sister and brother-in-law were very powerful, and Sister Xiao could do nothing about them. She turned to be very nice to me and helped me and my husband to start a coal mine. Most of the conflicts between Sister Xiao and my sister and brother-in-law were mediated by me."
After saying so much, I still haven't gotten to the point. Hongguo looked at the sky. Although it was dark now, it would get brighter soon.
She urged: "You said on the phone that you had a secret to tell, what is it? Can you tell me the main point?"
Du Huixiang glared at Jiang Hongguo fiercely.
Gu Changzong knocked on the table, telling her to face the reality: "Why are you staring at me? Don't be so ungrateful. If Hong Guo wasn't here, no one would have the patience to listen to your nonsense."
Du Huixiang really hated these people, so she could only continue, "My sister and brother-in-law became less and less afraid of Sister Xiao, and finally stopped listening to her and did what they wanted. But I listened to Sister Xiao more and more, because I knew she must have the confidence to be able to gain a foothold."
"My intuition was right. One time Sister Xiao fell ill and I took care of her without taking off my clothes. I finally found out that Sister Xiao was a spy chief and her husband and children were all overseas. Then I realized that the motivation for her, a childless widow, to torment herself was to live a prosperous life with her man and children abroad."
Hong Guo didn't believe it: "Even if what you said is true, why would she come to Yancheng? What else is there here besides the mine? Why would she take root here?"
Du Huixiang was proud: "Yes, having a mine is enough. With a mine you have money, and with money you can do anything. When private coal mines were just opened a few years ago, she came over with the mining rights and remarried. I was surprised. It turns out that the relationship that allowed her to gain a foothold was obtained by holding other people's handles. That's why I said that it won't be so easy for the new leader to investigate this time. Sister Xiao has someone above her. I guess only the person on the other end of your phone can do it."
Hong Guo didn't fall for her tricks and asked, "Besides these, do you have anything else to say?"
Du Huixiang urged urgently: "Isn't this enough? If you can find out Sister Xiao's spy network, you will be a great hero. Is there anything else you want?"
Hong Guo was indifferent and asked, "So, these are just your inferences from clues, and you don't have any actual evidence at all?"
Du Huixiang was annoyed: "She was able to hide so deeply and for so many years, how could the evidence be so easy to find? It was not easy for me to find out these things, but I know that if it were you, you would definitely find it."
Hongguo did not deny this. She could get a grasp of the situation, and Changzong and his men were very powerful, so it would not be difficult for them to find evidence. Even a deeply buried spy network could be uncovered.
But she just wants to make money by digging coal here, why should she get involved in these things?
Hong Guo said, "What you said is about the police, and has nothing to do with us ordinary people. Besides, you are the first person involved. You must have a lot of guilt, right? Go and get merit yourself. It's almost dawn. Tell me a place and I'll let Chang Zong take you out."
Du Huixiang believed it. Jiang Hongguo really didn't have any big aspirations and nothing could impress her.
She didn't care, leaned over the table, and asked directly to the other end of the phone: "You all heard it, right? No matter who it is, it's a great credit to find out such a big thing. Don't you care?"
She was looking forward to the other party's answer, eager to communicate directly with Jiang Hongguo's backer on the other end of the conversation.
Unfortunately, Du Huixiang could only be disappointed. When she asked this question, the only response she got was the sound of the phone being hung up.
Hong Guo looked at Du Huixiang who was stunned by the blow and said, "Your best option is to make up for your crime and make meritorious contributions. Think about where to go next. My family will not keep you until dawn."
Du Huixiang's last glimmer of hope was shattered. With a dejected look on her face, she called her new leader.
After hanging up the phone, Hongguo asked Changzong to drive and send this "trouble" away.
…
As soon as Gu Changzong's car drove out, it was stopped in front of the car by a woman.
He knew this woman, her name was Xiao Wumei, and she was very arrogant.
That night, everyone was looking for Du Huixiang, except her. After searching in vain, she somehow came to Gu Changzong's house. When she saw that Gu Changzong was about to drive out at dawn, her intuition made her suspect something was wrong.
She stopped the car in front of it, saying, "Boss Gu, Du Huixiang is missing. My eldest sister is so worried. Have you seen her?"
Gu Changzong didn't want to answer it. He didn't want to honk the horn for fear that Hongguo would hear it at home and get worried.
He stuck his head out and cursed with a cold face: "Get lost."
Xiao Wumei had dealt with Gu Changzong before and knew that he had no sympathy for women. No matter how beautiful a woman was standing in front of him, he would look down on her and tell her to get away. This was the most hateful thing about her.
Xiao Wumei was not polite to him: "I now suspect that Du Huixiang is in your car. Are you going to send her away secretly? As long as you let me search the car, it proves that you have nothing to hide."
What Gu Changzong was least afraid of was using force against force, so he gave her an ultimatum: "Either you give way now, or I'll drive right past you."
Xiao Wumei was not frightened. She did not believe that Gu Changzong would dare to do that. "It has been said before that you love your wife to death and would never let her be sad. I do not believe that you dare to hit me and abandon your wife and children to go to jail. Stop scaring me!"
Du Huixiang in the back of the car was very scared. She believed that Gu Changzong would dare to do it. If she hit him, she would not be able to escape today.
This Xiao Wumei, also known as "Xiao Wugui", is a ruthless character. Du Huixiang even suspected that she was the one who caused her husband's death. If she fell into Xiao Wumei's hands, it would be a fate worse than death.
Just when Du Huixiang was worried and Xiao Wumei was full of disbelief, Gu Changzong reversed the car without hesitation, then accelerated and rushed towards Xiao Wumei.
Xiao Wumei was horrified. She didn't expect that Gu Changzong would choose to perish together with his family for such a small matter. Is this guy crazy?
But it was too late to dodge now. Just as she was regretting it, a huge impact force pushed her to the side and she dodged.
Xiao Wumei's eyes blurred and she had no time to see clearly before she was pushed away by a figure. She was hit against the wall by inertia and felt dizzy.
By the time she came to her senses, Gu Changzong's car had disappeared. The person who saved her turned out to be Yu Shan, who was in the same group as Gu Changzong.
Xiao Wumei was delighted. She had a good impression of the cynical Yu Shan. It would be even better if she could win him over.
She quickly thanked him: "It turned out to be you, thank you for saving me."
Yu Shan hugged his shoulders and sneered, ruthlessly piercing her fantasy: "You don't think I'm saving you, do you? I have to clarify that I'm doing this for Jiang Hongguo's family, to prevent you, a worthless thing, from hurting valuable people. If it wasn't Gu Changzong's car that rushed towards you just now, you would have died long ago."
Xiao Wumei was shocked and angry, and asked, "What value are you talking about? Do they have powerful backers?"
Yu Shan laughed: "Why do you have to think so much? The value I mentioned is only for me. The two of them are very important to me, but you have no value to me. Get out of here and don't die in front of our house."
Xiao Wumei was furious. She bypassed Yu Shan and prepared to go find Jiang Hongguo to argue.
Yu Shan entered the house from the back door and was about to go back to his room to catch up on some sleep. Old Zheng was waiting here and criticized and educated him just like Xiao Budian: "You only know how to divert the blame. You said so much and made Changzong Hongguo hate you."
Yu Shan said with a playful smile: "Who told Gu Changzong to always order me around? The only thing that can make him take the initiative to do something now is Hong Guo's matter. I have to let him contribute a little."
Hongguo actually noticed that the car outside had stayed too long, and she also knew that Yu Shan had left.
After the sound of the car outside died down, she came to the third courtyard to inquire about the situation. Yu Shan told Hongguo everything about Xiao Wumei's behavior, which scared her.
She asked hurriedly: "Does Changzong know that you will rush out?"
Yu Shan put away his joking expression and said seriously: "Of course I know, otherwise how would he dare to rush over? We are just cooperating in this act to scare Xiao Wumei. I am eating and drinking for free here. If I don't do some work, Gu Changzong will really drive me away."
Hongguo said that Changzong would not be so reckless. There was a knock on the door of the front yard and Hongguo wanted to open it.
Lao Zheng advised: "Ignore her, just leave her alone. If she doesn't leave after knocking for a while, I'll go out and chase her away."
Hong Guo thought about it for a while and said, "Let's chat. I also want to see what the other party is like."
…
Xiao Wumei entered Hongguo's house and looked around like Du Huixiang. The house was built very well and she liked it. If it was someone else's house, she would have found a way to make the other party willingly sell it to her.
She asked the question she had always wanted to ask: "How did your family have the money to contract a coal mine? Even if you say that you made money from the jade mine, where did the first pot of gold come from?"
She thought Jiang Hongguo would find all kinds of excuses to prevaricate and wait for a rebuttal with a smile.
Hong Guo didn't give her a chance and directly retorted: "No matter you are still your elder sister, who do you think you are? You are not qualified to ask about our affairs. If you want to have a good conversation, speak human language. Don't act so high and mighty and annoying!"
Xiao Wumei was used to being a bully in the mine. After being confronted by Hongguo, she realized that she could not bully Jiang Hongguo in all aspects, so she had to give in.
"Okay, then I'll be frank. I suspect Du Huixiang was in Gu Changzong's car, and you were the ones who sent her out."
Hong Guo said bluntly: "Don't make trouble for no reason. You don't have the ability to stop the car and check it on the spot. What's the point of saying these suspicious words now? You are so anxious to find someone. I also suspect that you killed Du Huixiang's man. Are you looking for him like a mad dog? Do you want to eradicate the root of the problem?"
Although Xiao Wumei is cruel and ruthless, she can never beat Jiang Hongguo when it comes to talking.
She didn't dare to say harsh words easily, because she knew that no matter how harsh she said, Gu Changzong would be able to do it silently and make her suffer.
Xiao Wumei nodded: "People say that a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. You are so arrogant in our place, so let's compete. I will definitely find out what's behind you. I don't believe that a woman from the countryside like you can have any trump cards."
Hongguo also nodded. That was great. She was waiting for the day when they knew her hidden card. These people would not have the chance to tell others and would definitely regret it.
…
Xiao Wumei returned empty-handed and went back to her eldest sister. Several groups of people who had gone out in different directions did not find the person.
After each of them reported, Xiao Wumei suspected, based on her probing, that Du Huixiang was in the car that Gu Changzong drove out early in the morning.
How can you just go and stop the car based on nothing but suspicion without any basis?
The life of a local tyrant in the past few years has made them forget their place.
Sister Xiao was really angry this time and scolded: "Even if it is true, you are alerting the enemy too much. Let's put aside the matter of Fennel. Fennel has always been socializing with the new leader's wife. Now she is hiding. We still have to use the relationship there. Lao Wu, continue to think of ways to send gifts. As long as the leader's wife accepts it, we are not afraid. If she doesn't accept it, then they are here to investigate. That will be really troublesome. We must prepare for it early."
Xiao Wumei thought about it, picked out a piece of amethyst that she had bought at a low price today, closed the door of her leader's house, and said that she had delivered the birthday gift in advance.
"This is not worth much. I only spent twenty dollars on it. If you don't believe me, you can ask the seller. I know you don't accept gifts. Just write a receipt and I'll sell it to you."
The leader’s wife was of course very happy to spend twenty dollars to buy such a big and good amethyst.
Xiao Wumei took the opportunity to ask, "Why is Secretary Zhuang not at home?"
The leader's wife's attention was all on the amethyst, which she liked more and more. She said nonchalantly, "Someone from the province came to inspect our work, and he had to go and arrange the reception. He went out before dawn because he received a phone call."
Xiao Wumei was relieved then, thinking that dealing with the leader's family members should not be difficult. Her elder sister was actually worried about her and said that only Du Huixiang's meticulousness could do the job well. Look, isn't she doing a good job?
The leader's wife was frightened by her husband's warning before dawn. When she saw Xiao Wumei left, she quickly called her husband and reported everything to him. She hoped that she would not be so shallow-minded and stupid to be taken advantage of by others in the future.
…
Secretary Zhuang has already met with Du Huixiang. He is calm and reserved, and his tone is calm: "Originally, I shouldn't have met with you directly. I should have transferred you to the Public Security Bureau, but you said there was a big case that only I could handle. I have a lot of things to do today, so I can only give you 20 minutes to report."
Du Huixiang knew what to do based on the person she was dealing with. Facing Secretary Zhuang, she naturally did not dare to bargain, and told him everything she knew in a hurry.
What she said was basically the same as what she said at Jiang Hongguo's house, except that the details were richer.
Du Huixiang said, "Sister Xiao was a high school teacher before. She helped many poor girls, but she was not really kind. The girls she helped all had something in common: they were beautiful, outstanding, and had good grades. Several of them were either thriving in various industries or married well. If any of these people were really turned over, they would definitely do their best to stop the investigation. To protect Sister Xiao is to protect themselves. That's why I said this matter is almost impossible to do, because there is no way to find out who was turned over."
This is a very important clue. If Du Huixiang had not encountered such a sudden change, this turning point would not have been possible.
Secretary Zhuang asked, "Can't we find out from Xiao Xiao?"
Du Huixiang said, "I have been with Sister Xiao for such a long time, and she is so seriously ill, but I have not found any clues. Is your investigator more capable than me? And now we have alerted the enemy. Even if there is evidence, she is so cautious that she has destroyed it and will not contact the instigator again. I have confessed and hope you can send me away. I don't want to stay here anymore. Sister Xiao Wu is very vicious and I am afraid of her."
Secretary Zhuang said: "Your safety will be guaranteed, and if necessary, we will question you."
Someone took Du Huixiang away, and Secretary Zhuang fell into careful thinking. If what Du Huixiang said was true, it would be very difficult to investigate. They did not have enough time to check each of the female students Xiao Xiao had taught to see if they were spies.
Secretary Zhuang thought of his old friend Wei Liangzheng. Last time, Wei Liangzheng asked him for help in getting a coal mining license. So it’s not too much to ask him for help this time, right?
Secretary Zhuang called Wei Liangzheng. His old friend was busy with important matters recently, so he got straight to the point: "Old Wei, I have a difficult matter. I would like to ask you to introduce a few people who are not on the payroll to me."
