Qiao Liang nodded: "It's right."

Ye Xinyi said: "Is Fang Xiaoya doing this because she wants to be with you?"

"What do you think?" Qiao Liang asked back.

"I..." Ye Xinyi hesitated for a moment, "I don't know."

"I know." Qiao Liang said simply.

"What do you know?" Ye Xinyi stared at Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang said slowly: "I know Xiaoya does this, regardless of whether she has any other thoughts, but one thing is certain."

"Which point?" Ye Xinyi said.

"She wants to free me from an unsatisfactory marriage and want me to live a happy life."

Ye Xinyi nodded and was curious, how unsatisfactory this guy's marriage was, and how deep the pain he felt, so that Fang Xiaoya wanted to spend a huge amount of money to save him?

But being curious is useless. Ye Xinyi knew that Qiao Liang would not tell her.

Ye Xinyi thought for a while: "Fang Xiaoya is really nice to you, I think you are quite compatible."

Qiao Liang felt confused. Fang Xiaoya really said nothing to him, but why can't he feel that way? He used to retreat because of inferiority, but now? Still inferior? Or is it because of his shameful marriage to Zhang Mei that he has a deep fear and escape from his emotions and is unwilling to come into contact with that sacred and sensitive word? Or is it because of other factors?

Thinking of this, Qiao Liang felt palpitations and felt that his emotional world was now numb and full of haze.

It seems that in this numbness and confusion, I would rather anesthetize myself in the release of my physiology and seek short-term joy and comfort in the release.

This seems despicable and depraved, but now I seem to have no choice.

Qiao Liang sighed secretly, subconsciously took out the smoke, looked at Ye Xinyi, and then put it back in his pocket.

"Go, it's okay." Ye Xinyi said.

Qiao Liang took out the cigarette again, lit one, took a deep breath, looked at Ye Xinyi, and said silent for a moment: "Actually, what I don't want to talk about the most now is about feelings."

Ye Xinyi nodded, as if she understood Qiao Liang's words. It seemed that he was really hurt by his marriage with Zhang Mei very deeply and severely, and he was extremely afraid of marriage and love, so he said so.

"But you are not like this now, right?" Qiao Liang said.

Ye Xinyi frowned: "Why do you say that?"

"Because you have always had that little girl in your heart."

Ye Xinyi couldn't help but her heart beat faster, and an unspeakable feeling surged in her heart, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Ye Xinyi like this, Qiao Liang knew that Xiaobei, who didn't know his surname, had a heavy position in Ye Xinyi's heart, and he didn't realize that he was a little jealous. Damn, I wonder what kind of a great person Xiaobei is, who could make Ye Xinyi's beauty so worried about it.

Then Qiao Liang felt that the topic was a bit boring again, so he put out the cigarette and picked up the cup: "Don't talk anymore, drink, and eat."

Then the two of them had sex. After dinner, Qiao Liang saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and said goodbye.

When he walked to the door, Qiao Liang looked at Ye Xinyi: "You are in a better mood now?"

Ye Xinyi nodded: "I have talked to you so much and feel much better. I really want to thank you."

"That's good. I wish you a good mood every day and leave." Qiao Liang waved his hand and left.

After Qiao Liang left, Ye Xinyi sat on the sofa, savoring the conversation with Qiao Liang tonight, and fell into long-term contemplation...

At this time, in the suburbs, in a single room of a private club by the river, under the dim light, Tang Shusen and Chu Heng were drinking tea together.

The incident of Ning Hailong that happened during the day surprised both Tang Shusen and Chu Heng. Their surprise was not just that Ning Hailong was punished, but more importantly, they knew nothing about it in advance.

Chu Heng looked at Tang Shusen worriedly: "Secretary Tang, there is no warning, why did Ning Hailong suddenly get into trouble?"

Tang Shusen frowned: "I'm afraid there is no sign, but we didn't notice this sign. Zhao Xiaolan told me in the afternoon that it was her who took the people to take two measures against Ning Hailong. Before she went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Zheng Shidong never told her that the person she was going to handle was Ning Hailong."

"Why is this happening? Could it be that Zheng Shidong distrusts Zhao Xiaolan?" Chu Heng said in confusion.

Tang Shusen shook his head: "This may not be necessary. The two-standard department-level cadres must obtain An Zhe's permission. I guess this confidentiality should be An Zhe's request. Since An Zhe has this requirement, Zheng Shidong naturally does not need to take any risks."

"Why did Secretary An run Ning Hailong?" Chu Heng said.

Tang Shusen was silent for a moment: "On the surface, it was because An Zhe secretly visited Shizhong District to crack down on it, and found that Ning Hailong was cheating, and that bath center was involved in Ning Hailong. But after careful analysis, I'm afraid that An Zhe might have other intentions to run Ning Hailong..."

"What's the intention?" Chu Heng didn't react for a moment.

Tang Shusen looked up at Chu Heng and slowly said, "I think An Zhe did this with two intentions. First, this time, he needed to capture a typical example, Ning Hailong and his son just hit the gun; second, would he know that Ning Hailong was promoted by me..."

Chu Heng shivered: "Secretary Tang, what do you mean is that Secretary An is aimed at you when he does this?"

Tang Shusen frowned again: "I'm afraid it's not just targeting me."

"Then there is still..." Chu Heng looked at Tang Shusen.

Tang Shusen took a sip of tea, then slowly said: "Old Chu, haven't you noticed that since An Zhe came to Jiangzhou and since the new municipal party committee started to operate, the situation within the Standing Committee has been very delicate?"

"Subtle..." Chu Heng murmured, "Could it be that Secretary An noticed me and you..."

"It's not just me and you." Tang Shusen interrupted Chu Heng's words, "The relationship between you and me for many years is not a secret within the senior officials of Jiangzhou officialdom. What I think now is that An Zhe seems to have realized the relationship between me, you, Luo Fei, and even Qin Chuan, and knows that we are very united within the Standing Committee. Therefore, this time he organized Ning Hailong, which is an example for the rectification of work style, but in fact it has an unpredictable purpose."

"Secretary Tang, what do you mean is that Secretary An is also vaguely targeting Mayor Luo in doing this?"

Tang Shusen pondered for a moment: "This case happened to be handled by Zhao Xiaolan. I think it was a bit strange. Could it be that this was arranged on purpose? An Zhe has been conducting openly and secretly for a while. Maybe he already knows that Zhao Xiaolan and me have a good relationship."

"This may not be the case?"

"Don't forget that there is Qiao Liang by An Zhe. This kid knows a lot." Tang Shusen reminded Chu Heng.

Chu Heng was pondering.

Tang Shusen continued: "And even though An Zhe didn't know about Zhao Xiaolan and me, he must know about my old relationship with Luo Fei, and Zhao Xiaolan is Luo Fei's wife. Under this premise, it would be somewhat meaningful for Zhao Xiaolan to handle Ning Hailong's case."

Chu Heng nodded: "It makes sense. In this way, is this a trap that An Zhe used Ning Hailong's case to give you and Mayor Luo?"

"It's not just me and Luo Fei." Tang Shusen was a little unhappy.
