Chapter 198 Suspicion

Hearing his father-in-law's words, Yan Xiuli nodded, took a few deep breaths of air, pretending to be just awake, and asked while walking towards the door, "Who is it so late?"

"We are from the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jiao City Commission, please open the door." As soon as Yan Xiuli's words fell, a man's answer came from outside.

Although Yan Xiuli had made all her mental preparations, when she heard the word "Discipline Inspection Commission", her heart still trembled a few times. However, she did not open the door immediately. Instead, she forced herself to calm down and deliberately delayed the time and asked: "My husband is not at home. You said that you are from the Discipline Inspection Commission so late. Can you put your work permit in front of the cat and let me see it. If so, I will open the door for you immediately."

Yan Xiuli saw the other party showing her work permit through the cat's eyes, and then immediately opened the door and asked the two discipline inspection committee cadres standing outside the door: "Two comrades! Do you know what's wrong with your visit late at night?"

"Hello! Comrade Yan Xiuli! We are from the Jiao City Discipline Inspection Commission. We want to find Chen Ning to know something. Is he at home?" A cadre asked with a rigorous look when he saw Yan Xiuli.

Yan Xiuli has been comforting herself from the moment she opened the door and must keep calm. However, when she heard the other party’s purpose, she couldn’t help but show a panic expression and asked: “What are you doing with my husband? He went to Donghai yesterday and has not been at home these two nights. Please come in and say it!”

If Yan Xiuli was too calm at this time, it would arouse the suspicion of the two discipline inspection cadres. At this time, Yan Xiuli showed a panic expression when she heard the other party reveal her identity and asked to find Chen Ning. She was seen by the two-year-old discipline inspection cadres without any omission. It was precisely because her guilty expression did not arouse any suspicion of the two discipline inspection officers, but instead made them regard Yan Xiuli's expression as the expression that those cadres would show when they meet the discipline inspection officers. In addition, Yan Xiuli invited them into the house to believe that Chen Ning was not at home. However, as a discipline inspection officer, no matter they were sure of Yan Xiuli's words in their hearts, they still walked into the house. The cadre in the lead asked Yan Xiuli with a rigorous face: "Comrade Yan Xiuli! If you don't have any objections, can we take a look at a few rooms?"

Yan Xiuli said in a cooperative manner when she heard the other party's words, saying, "It is said that you have no search warrants, so I can refuse your request, but I am also a cadre, so please give me some advice! But please move lighter, and my father-in-law sleeps in the room."

When the two discipline inspection cadres heard Yan Xiuli's words, the one in the lead signaled to him and said to Yan Xiuli: "Comrade Yan Xiuli! Thank you for cooperating with our work!" As he said that, he opened several rooms in Yan Xiuli's house and carefully checked them. However, although he had also checked Chen Haodong's room, he was obviously very careful in his movements, but he still woke Chen Haodong who was pretending to be asleep.

Chen Haodong pretended to be extremely dissatisfied when he was awakened by sleeping and was extremely dissatisfied. His eyes were sparkling at the two cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and asked in an extremely unkind tone: "Who are you? Why are you here to my house so late?"

Two cadres from the Discipline Inspection Commission were very surprised when Yan Xiuli said that his father-in-law was sleeping in the room. After all, Chen Haodong is the director of the People's Congress of Jiaocheng, and today is not a weekend. Chen Haodong obviously knew something when he returned to Hancheng at this time, so he rushed back. They had a little similarity to Yan Xiuli's words before, but now after seeing Chen Haodong, they felt that Chen Ning must have just left Hancheng tonight. The two cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission saw Chen Haodong's angry expressions and did not have any fear at all. However, because Chen Haodong is the director of the Municipal People's Congress, the tone of the leading cadre spoke with a little respectful and said, "Director Chen! I'm really embarrassed to disturb you until you have a rest. We are from the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jiaocheng. Because there is a case that needs to be found by Chen Ning and we will go back with us to assist in the investigation. I wonder where Chen Ning is now? Can you help us contact him?"

"You are here to find Chen Ning. What happened to this brat outside and actually needed someone to send him to find him? I heard from my wife that he went to Donghai yesterday, so let's do it! I'll call him for you and ask him to come back immediately." Chen Haodong spoke in a full voice, as if he didn't take the two discipline inspection cadres at all, but in fact he was heartbroken, and a guilt that he had never felt before was filling his heart.

Chen Haodong picked up his cell phone from the bedside table, quickly pressed Chen Ning's cell phone number, and called directly, but it was indeed the system's answer from inside: "Hello! The phone number you dialed has been turned off..."

Chen Haodong set his phone as a hands-free method when calling Chen Ning, so the answers from the phone were heard clearly by the two cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission. The headed cadre always had a rigorous expression on his face and said to Chen Haodong politely: "Director Chen! Thank you! If you contact Chen Ning, please inform him to go back to Jiaocheng. We have a few very important things to ask him to find out about and disturb you until you have a rest. I am really embarrassed, so we will go back first."

Chen Haodong sent two discipline inspection officials to the gate, and his expression on his face became particularly approachable. He smiled and said to the two discipline inspection officials: "Don't worry, as long as I contact my son, I will ask him to come back immediately."

Two cadres from the Discipline Inspection Commission walked downstairs, and the other cadre who had been silent all the time immediately said to his colleague: "Old Liang! Why do I always feel that Chen Haodong seems a little abnormal when he meets Hancheng at this time? Today is not a weekend. It's impossible for him to have a sleep just to come back, right?"

The headed cadre of the Discipline Inspection Commission heard his colleague's words and looked up at the house on the second floor where the lights were still on. His face turned particularly solemn, and replied: "Have you seen anyone sleeping in clothes? Okay! Let's go back immediately and report the news to Secretary Niu!"

Yan Xiuli didn't sleep all night that night. Her husband's affairs and the past from high school coincided with her, and kept rushing into her heart like a turbulent river. It was not until the next morning when the sky was dawn that she fell asleep in pain and bitterness.

When Yan Xiuli woke up from her sleep, her father-in-law Chen Haodong had already left Hancheng and returned to Jiaocheng by car. In order to confirm whether the Wu Tianlin received by Secretary Zhongnan of Shandong was her high school classmate, Yan Xiuli didn't even have breakfast and drove to the Hancheng Hotel.

When Yan Xiuli came to the Hancheng Hotel, she saw the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Li Guodong and Mayor Zhang Jianping standing at the door of the hotel, while several other members of the Municipal Party Committee stood scattered, looking obviously waiting for someone. When Yan Xiuli saw this scene, she knew that it would be inappropriate for her to get off the bus at this time, so she parked the car directly opposite the hotel gate and sat in the car to wait for the guests who were waiting for Li Guodong and the others.

Time passed minute by minute while anxiously waiting. Yan Xiuli looked at the leaders standing at the entrance of the hotel from afar, gathered together in groups of three or three to talk about something, and urged in her heart: "It's what time now, why haven't you come out yet?" As soon as Yan Xiuli finished speaking, she saw the leaders at the entrance of the hotel turn their eyes to the direction of the hotel lobby, and then head towards the lobby, thinking: "I'm finally coming out." So she stared at the direction of the hotel lobby.

Soon Yan Xiuli saw Lu Zhongnan, secretary of the Jiao City Committee, walked out of the hotel accompanied by Li Guodong, secretary of the Han City Committee, Zhang Jianping, and a large group of cadres, but did not see the figure of the big man. Yan Xiuli became a little anxious when she saw this scene. She didn't know if the big man had not woken up yet? Or had she left early? At this time, the small car with the license plate of the Jiao City Committee No. 1 stopped in front of the hotel. Lu Zhongnan smiled and shook hands with each of the cadres who sent him, and then explained something to Li Guodong, and then opened the car door and prepared to get into the car.

Seeing that Lu Zhongnan was about to leave, Yan Xiuli immediately showed a disappointed expression on her face. However, just as she was about to give up, Director Bai, who was standing in front of the gate, seemed to see someone walking out of the hotel lobby and shouted to Shandong Zhongnan. When Lu Zhongnan heard Director Bai's scream, a strong smile immediately appeared on his face and quickly turned around to welcome him into the lobby. Shaking hands with a young man who couldn't see his appearance, and talking happily, while the cadres around him all looked respectful. Yan Xiuli immediately guessed that the young man who shook hands with Shandong Zhongnan must be the big man with the same name and surname as his high school classmate Wu Tianlin.

Perhaps it was because Yan Xiuli was determined to confirm whether this big man was his high school classmate Wu Tianlin, so he was determined to see the big man, but God did not let her do it. Several leaders of the Han City Committee surrounded Shandong Zhongnan and the big man, making the target she wanted to see was close to her, but she could not see the appearance, so Yan Xiuli could only sit in the car and be anxious.

Yan Xiuli wanted to get off the car and take a look, but she knew that it was definitely inappropriate for her to go there at this time. If she didn't say how to explain why she appeared here, if she was seen by a cadre of the Discipline Inspection Commission, it would definitely cause some trouble. So she could only resist the desire to get off the car, and at the same time, she hoped that the two deputy mayors who blocked her view could move their bodies.

When Wu Tianlin learned that Shandong Zhongnan was going to return to Jiaocheng, he immediately went downstairs to see Shandong Zhongnan. After all, in order to entertain himself, they rushed from Jiaocheng to Hancheng. Now they are going back, and it is obviously very impolite if they don’t go to see them off, so they immediately rushed downstairs to see Shandong Zhongnan.
