The phone call was called by Ma Yuanxiang, and Qiao Liang immediately answered.

"County Magistrate Qiao, are you free in the evening? I want to treat you to a meal." Ma Yuanxiang's hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I have time." Qiao Liang agreed without hesitation.

After confirming the time of meal, the two of them didn't talk much. Ma Yuanxiang told Qiao Liang where to eat and hung up the phone.

"Missar Qiao has a date tonight?" He Qingqing blinked, and she could hear the voice of a woman on the phone.

"It's not a date, there's something wrong." Qiao Liang wondered whether Ma Yuanxiang asked him to guess what Wang Anfu was going to say before leaving. Thinking of this, Qiao Liang couldn't help but look forward to it and was a little excited.

"I thought County Magistrate Qiao had a date." He Qingqing smiled.

"Who am I alone in Liangbei County?" Qiao Liang smiled and looked at He Qingqing, "Does Director He want to date me?"

"If County Magistrate Qiao wants it, I will be fine." He Qingqing's face turned slightly red.

"Then let's make an appointment next time." Qiao Liang smiled.

He Qingqing left Qiao Liang's office. Not long after, Qiao Liang looked at the time and drove away from the county courtyard. The place Ma Yuanxiang made an appointment was in a hotel in the suburbs of the city. Qiao Liang had never been to it before, so he still had to drive navigation.

The car stopped at a traffic light entrance in the county town. Qiao Liang was checking how far the mobile phone navigation was from the destination. With a "squeak--" sound, the harsh sound of the tires and the road suddenly came from beside him. Qiao Liang looked up and couldn't help but lean and hit someone!

The next scene made Qiao Liang's eyes widen again, Damn, Damn! The car that hit someone actually ran away!

It's a domineering car.

Qiao Liang recognized what car it was at a glance and recorded the license plate number. At this moment, Qiao Liang didn't care about the red light and drove out without saying a word, trying to stop the domineering car that hit someone.

The car was driving on the main road of the county town with a large traffic. Qiao Liang was half a beat slower and was a little far away from the domineering way of hitting someone in front. However, this distance was not far, Qiao Liang bit the other party tightly.

"Bastard, I still want to run away after hitting someone." Qiao Liang drove after him and scolded him.

In the domineering car in front of him, the bald scar man sat in the spacious back seat and scolded the driver: "Damn, why are you driving? I see if you are driving more and more recently?"

"Boss, I'm sorry, this is not your time. I saw that there was no one at the red light, so I was anxious to rush over. But I didn't know that the old man would suddenly jump out." The driver quickly explained.

The bald scar man said angrily: "Be careful in the future and don't mess with me with some bullshits."

"Boss, don't worry, I will pay attention in the future." The driver nodded quickly, knowing that this level had finally been dealt with. The bald scar man obviously no longer cared about the incident of hitting someone just now. With the energy of the bald scar man, this matter would obviously not be taken seriously.

The bald scar man really didn't take this little thing to heart. The driver was his confidant. How could the bald scar man really do anything to the other party? At most, a few words of scolding him.

The two did not notice that Qiao Liang's car was chasing them closely, but at a fork in the road, the domineering car turned over. When Qiao Liang was about to turn the corner, a truck speeded up from the side and blocked Qiao Liang's car in the back.

"Damn it." Qiao Liang looked at the truck blocking in front of him and cursed so much that he was so angry that he cursed. Damn, this bastard driver would not be stolen early or late, but he was speeding and plugging at this time. These speeding and plugging drivers were so abominable.

When the truck drove over, Qiao Liang turned a corner quickly. At this time, he looked over and saw that there was no domineering figure.

"Cao." Qiao Liang cursed again in anger.

Damn, you can run away and the monk can't run away! Qiao Liang thought that he remembered the overbearing license plate number and could still find the owner of the car. Thinking of this, Qiao Liang's depressed mood improved.

Since he couldn't catch up with the domineering car that caused the accident, Qiao Liang drove back along the same road. At this time, an ambulance had arrived at the site of the accident, and the traffic police were still maintaining order. The person was hit was an old man and his vital signs. As soon as the ambulance arrived, he quickly carried the person away to the hospital.

Qiao Liang looked up and found that there was a surveillance on the lamp post at the intersection at the traffic lights. This made Qiao Liang feel more at ease. Well, with this surveillance, it would not be difficult for the traffic police to find the vehicle that caused the accident, so there is no need to worry too much.

Seeing that the accident site was being handled in an orderly manner, Qiao Liang felt relieved and turned around and left. He was delayed by such a matter. When Qiao Liang arrived at the hotel he agreed with Ma Yuanxiang, he was already late for a while.

In the private room, Ma Yuanxiang sat alone. Seeing Qiao Liang coming in, Ma Yuanxiang stood up.

"I encountered something on the road, which made you wait for a long time. I'm sorry." Qiao Liang apologized as soon as he came in.

"It's okay, I'm fine at night, I'm not in a hurry." Ma Yuanxiang's face squeezed a smile, and her voice was seriously hoarse.

Qiao Liang could understand the other party. The death of her husband probably made Ma Yuanxiang cry to death, and her voice was hoarse.

"Have your husband's funeral finished?" Qiao Liang asked with concern.

"Well, I will send it to the crematorium today. After cooking, there is nothing to be dragged. He suffered so much during his lifetime. I just hope he can get into peace earlier and don't want to let him suffer any more." Ma Yuanxiang's eyes were red, because he cried too hard these two days, his eyes were obviously swollen.

Qiao Liang nodded: "It's better to be safe early. Now that some people have passed away, they still have to invite someone to do some rituals. They have been doing it for several days. In fact, they are all superstitious. It's better to let the deceased rest in peace earlier."

Ma Yuanxiang nodded, and a reluctant smile appeared on her face: "I won't talk about this anymore. The past has passed. I'm here to treat you to dinner tonight, not to let you be sad with me."

"The dead are gone. Actually, I think you should come out early. People should look forward. Just as you said, the past has passed. We cannot immerse ourselves in the sadness of the past, but we must welcome the new life in the future with a new mood. Do you think so?" Qiao Liang comforted.

"Yeah." Ma Yuanxiang nodded, her husband left, Ma Yuanxiang felt sad, but in the last few months, Ma Yuanxiang did his best and gave everything he could, and Ma Yuanxiang had no regrets in her heart.

At this time, the waiter started to serve the dishes. Ma Yuanxiang asked for a bottle of wine and said to Qiao Liang: "Chief Qiao County, the restaurant we were having tonight is a bit simple. I don't have much money, so I can only invite Chairman Qiao County to dinner in such a small restaurant. Please don't be surprised by Chief Qiao County."

"What's the matter? We can eat at a roadside stall. I don't care. Don't think of me as precious." Qiao Liang said, the restaurant where Ma Yuanxiang invited me to dinner was indeed a little ordinary. As soon as Qiao Liang entered the door, he noticed that the quality of this restaurant was very average, but Qiao Liang didn't care about these at all.

"County Magistrate Qiao is really a good official and approachable," praised Ma Yuanxiang.

"I am just an ordinary cadre, don't say so well." Qiao Liang looked at Ma Yuanxiang, "By the way, you are treating me tonight..."

"I invited County Magistrate Qiao to dinner tonight. As a result, I was to thank County Magistrate Qiao for his previous help. If it weren't for County Magistrate Qiao's help, I would still be entangled by those loan sharks now. I wouldn't dare to think about what the future will be like." Ma Yuanxiang smiled bitterly, and she was grateful to Qiao Liang from the bottom of her heart.

"Didn't you thanked this before? Why do you have to do this again?" Qiao Liang said.

"Although I have thanked you before, it is not too much to thank you. County Magistrate Qiao may think that it was just a small matter, but for me, it is a major event that can determine my fate. I don't know how many people who are obsessed with usury will eventually die." Ma Yuanxiang murmured in a low voice.

Hearing Ma Yuanxiang say this, Qiao Liang nodded and said nothing, but he noticed the "first come" in Ma Yuanxiang's words just now, and couldn't help but say, "You just said that this meal tonight is to thank me, but what about the second one?"

"Second, I want to know what the hell did you two talk about that night, my husband said that he wanted to talk to you alone." Ma Yuanxiang said.

Qiao Liang blinked at Ma Yuanxiang.

Then Ma Yuanxiang looked at Qiao Liang and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, let's not just talk and eat, otherwise the food will get cold later."

After Ma Yuanxiang said that, he poured a glass of wine for Qiao Liang and a glass of wine himself.

Qiao Liang looked at Ma Yuanxiang: "You just want to know what your husband talked to me?"

"Yeah." Ma Yuanxiang nodded, "My husband and you have never known each other. If it weren't for your help, he and you wouldn't have had any interaction. So, I can't figure out what he could talk to you alone."

Qiao Liang listened to Ma Yuanxiang's question and did not answer, and suddenly asked, "Do you know what your husband is going to say in the end before leaving?"

"I'm also curious, so I invited County Mayor Qiao to dinner, because I also want to figure out what my husband is going to say before leaving." Ma Yuanxiang frowned, "He suddenly said he wanted to see you before he fell into a coma. When he was dying, although he looked at me, he held your hand and intuition told me that what he wanted to say might have something to do with you."

"Maybe... your intuition is accurate, but I don't know what he wants to say, otherwise I won't ask you." Qiao Liang smiled bitterly, "He has been saying the word 'gui'. Can you guess a little clue?"

"I can't guess, so I want to ask you. I guess what he wants to say must be related to you, and it also has something to do with the two of you who were alone that night." Ma Yuanxiang looked at Qiao Liang silently, "It seems that you have something to hide from me."

Ma Yuanxiang's words suddenly made Qiao Liang confused. Should he tell the truth to Ma Yuanxiang? Qiao Liang really wanted to tell him. He had a feeling that telling Ma Yuanxiang the truth, which might be helpful for Ma Yuanxiang to guess what Wang Anfu was going to say in the end.
