All the way, the black car drove to the door of a hotel in the suburbs and stopped. Everyone got out of the car. The woman walked in front. Two young men took Qiao Liang's arm into the hotel, headed straight to the elevator, and went to an ordinary single room on the 5th floor.

There is a single bed, three chairs and a table in the room, and a spotlight shelf next to the table.

The woman pointed to the chair opposite the table and said to Qiao Liang: "Sit——"

Qiao Liang sat down and looked at them, confused and uneasy, but he didn't know what to say. Too much words would lead to mistakes. In such an occasion, saying a wrong sentence would cause irreparable consequences.

The woman sat opposite the table with a young man, and the other young man poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Qiao Liang. Then he looked at the woman with a respectful tone: "Director Zhang, I'll go out first."

The woman nodded, and the young man closed the door and went out.

Qiao Liang immediately understood and his heart trembled. This cold and beautiful woman turned out to be Zhang Lin, director of the Third Office of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

The Third Office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection is in charge of more than 20 units of the municipal propaganda system. Although Zhang Lin is a female, she is famous in the circle. She has just been the director of the Third Office for just two years. The publicity system has two main offices, five deputy offices, and 13 section-level cadres investigated and dealt with by her.

Zhang Lin's husband died in the line of duty a few years ago because she was selfless in handling cases and was cruel in her ways. In addition, she often wore black clothes on weekdays, so people in the circle were nicknamed Black Widow.

All the cadres in the propaganda system talked about Zhang's discoloration, fearing that she would invite him to have tea one day.

I didn't expect that I would fall into her hands today!

Zhang Lin looked at Qiao Liang, her tone was not as serious as before, and she was even a little gentle: "Qiao Liang, drink a sip of water."

Qiao Liang picked up the cup and drank water, then looked at Zhang Lin: "Director Zhang, you are bringing me here..."

"Qiao Liang, we will bring you here today. We are asking you something at the prescribed time and place according to the case handling procedures. We hope that you will actively cooperate with us with the attitude of being responsible to the organization." Zhang Lin's tone became gentler, and she even smiled.

Zhang Lin looks very good when she smiles, and she has the charm of a mature woman.

But Qiao Liang had no time to taste it at this time. The more the woman laughed, the more serious the problem was.

First rituals and then troops are the common routines of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Qiao Liang nodded quickly: "Okay, Director Zhang, I will definitely cooperate."

"You talk about Li Youwei's violation of laws and regulations." Zhang Lin was straight to the point, tapping the table with his right ring finger.

Qiao Liang's head buzzed, it was broken, something happened to the boss!

Qiao Liang privately called Boss Li Youwei.

When Qiao Liang graduated from Jiangzhou University and returned to his hometown of Sanjiang County, he participated in the county civil service examination and was admitted to the county party committee's propaganda department clerk with the first overall score. Because Qiao Liang was diligent and had a good eye, he was deeply appreciated by Li Youwei, the then propaganda minister of the county party committee. After Li Youwei was transferred to Jiangzhou Daily as the top leader, he also transferred Qiao Liang and promoted him to the office director step by step.

This afternoon, Qiao Liang also received a call from Li Youwei. Li Youwei was very concerned about his interview tomorrow and specially reminded him of some precautions.

Qiao Liang was very moved by Li Youwei's concern because he knew that Li Youwei was busy competing with Chu Heng, the Municipal Radio and Television Bureau, to compete with Chu Heng, the Executive Deputy Minister of the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department.

Although Li Youwei and Chu Heng are both in charge now and at the same level as the Executive Vice Minister, the Executive Vice Minister is the second in charge of the Propaganda Department, and the room for next progress is obviously much greater, so both of them are striving for it.

Unexpectedly, something happened suddenly in Li Youwei, without any warning in advance.

Qiao Liang was very confused at this time. He was Li Youwei's confidant in the newspaper, so the personnel from the Discipline Inspection Commission would look for him. Maybe Li Youwei was inquiring in a room in this hotel at this time.

What should I do?

Why is Li Youwei not too late, but something happened at this time?

Why did the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission take themselves away on the eve of their interview with the deputy director?

Is this just a coincidence? Or...

Qiao Liang was both confused and panicked, and only felt a chill on his spine.

From Sanjiang to Jiangzhou, after following Li Youwei for so many years, he knew a lot about him. Although he didn't know the big things, he still knew a lot about eating, drinking, and receiving gifts.

Zhang Lin asked this now, he must have mastered the reason why Li You is, but what exactly are they? Is it some or one thing? Do you know it or don’t know it?

If it was just about eating, drinking and accepting small gifts, I'm afraid Li Youwei would not be under double supervision, and it must have involved a large amount of money.

Qiao Liang suddenly remembered something and was shocked.

A few months ago, a paper mill owner invited Li Youwei to the hot spring resort to play in order to supply newsprint to the newspaper printing factory. Li Youwei took him there that day. When he finished the hot spring for dinner, Li Youwei received a call from the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Minister Tang Shusen and left in advance, leaving Qiao Liang to continue socializing.

After eating and drinking, the owner of the paper mill arranged a car to take Qiao Liang back to the city. Before getting on the car, the owner of the paper mill handed Qiao Liang a small gift box with exquisite packaging, saying that he had visited France some time ago and bought a set of French cosmetics for Mrs. Li. Secretary Li had something to do and had to come for him, so he asked Qiao Liang to hand it over.

The paper mill owner specifically reminded Qiao Liang to hand over the gift box to Li Youwei in person.

Qiao Liang didn't care, so he agreed to get in the car, and when he got home, he put the gift box on the coffee table.

Zhang Mei heard that it was French cosmetics given to Mrs. Li Youwei by the owner of the paper mill. When she became interested, she insisted on opening them and checking them out. Qiao Liang didn't stop her. Isn't it just cosmetics used by women? It's just that.

Zhang Mei carefully opened the gift box and suddenly screamed. Qiao Liang went over and saw that there was no cosmetics in the box, and there were clearly two yellow gold bars!

Qiao Liang hurriedly sealed the gift box as it was and told Zhang Mei not to tell this.

As soon as he went to work the next day, Qiao Liang delivered the gift box to Li Youwei's office.

After following Li Youwei for so many years, this is the only thing Qiao Liang knows about him receiving valuable gifts. Is Zhang Lin asking about this?

After thinking about it, no matter whether the Discipline Inspection Commission is in charge of this matter or not, it cannot be said that Li Youwei is not bad to him and cannot do things that are wrong to him.

So Qiao Liang acted actively and began to talk about his meals and drinks with Li Youwei, traveling with public funds, and accepting small gifts. He said a lot in one breath.

Qiao Liang knew that what he said would not hinder the overall situation. Although it violated certain regulations, it could not reach the point where Li Youwei was under double supervision.

Listening to Qiao Liang's explanation, Zhang Lin's expression became colder and colder, and the ring finger that was knocking on the table stopped.

When Qiao Liang finally stopped, Zhang Lin stared at Qiao Liang with a cold look, and the look seemed to pierce Qiao Liang's heart.

Qiao Liang dared not look at each other.

After a long silence, Zhang Lin spoke: "Qiao Liang, your attitude is very dishonest and you are avoiding the main problem."

Qiao Liang blinked: "Director Zhang, I have a very honest attitude. I really only know these things, and I don't know anything else."

"Really?" Zhang Lin looked at Qiao Liang with a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth, "Think about it again."

Qiao Liang simply shook his head: "I'm sorry, Director Zhang, I really don't know anything else."

Zhang Lin sneered: "Qiao Liang, since you said that, I will give you some time to think about it carefully, think about the consequences of confronting organizational review, and think about your own future. I know that you will participate in the newspaper's deputy editor-in-chief interview at dawn, and you are the first in the written examination, so don't lose the big picture because of a small amount."

Zhang Lin's words obviously have a warning. If she is not honest, she will be charged with shelter and at the least she will be punished for disciplinary action.

Thinking of the daybreak, he was about to go to the interview venue for the competition deputy director and compete with Ye Xinyi. Thinking of the bright future after stepping onto the deputy director, Qiao Liang's mind was rumbling. On one side was the sea water and on the other side was the flame. Telling that was equivalent to putting a trick on Li Youwei. If he didn't say it, he would be unable to escape the level in front of him.

Where should we go? Qiao Liang was suffering from anxiety and hesitation. Suddenly, Zhang Lin said another sentence, which made his heart suddenly rise to his throat.
