The two of them walked around the island for a while, walked to the beach, and looked at the bright city lights on the other side, and were silent for a while.

After a while, Zhang Lin suddenly said, "Strange."

"What's strange?" Qiao Liang glanced at Zhang Lin.

"I think Minister Chu is strange." Zhang Lin remembered what Ye Xinyi told her again.

"Why is he strange?"

"Minister Chu has always been calm and steady when encountering problems. I don't know what happened at home this time, but he will be so impatient." Zhang Lin's expression of thought.

"Sister Lin, why did you suddenly remember this?" Qiao Liang smiled secretly.

"I was just curious, I didn't think of it." Zhang Lin smiled.

"You didn't think of anything out of your professional sensitivity, right?" Qiao Liang said.

Zhang Lin smiled again.

Qiao Liang said: "Since Minister Chu is a family matter, it should be related to his wife. Maybe the couple has a quarrel."

Zhang Lin nodded: "It is normal for the couple to have a quarrel. The key is to see what happened."

"What did you think of again?"

Zhang Lin laughed silently without answering, and said for a while: "Now, many people in the officialdom have had accidents due to fire in the backyard... By the way, where does Minister Chu's lover work?"

"Being the financial director of Tang Dynasty Group."

"Is the boss of the Tang Dynasty Group the son of Minister Tang?"

"Yes, Tang Chao."

"You have a foul with this Tang Chao, right?"

"Yes, once he teased Fang Xiaoya after drinking, and was beaten by me. Another time, he met me on the riverside and wanted to provoke me. After being taught a lesson by Lu Qian, he was detained for several days."

Zhang Lin nodded: "Minister Tang knows these two things, right?"

"I know, I praised me for doing it right afterwards, saying that Tang Chao should be taught a lesson."

Zhang Lin then said: "When Tang Chao was forced to give up the project of the Cultural Tourism Entrepreneurship Park in Songbei, Xiaoya's group is now working on it?"

"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded, "Zhengtai Group's ancient city development project in Songbei is next to that cultural and tourism entrepreneurial park. After Ren Quan's accident, Tang Chao was forced to give up the project. Miao Peilong took the initiative to contact Zhengtai Group and invited them to take over, so..."

Zhang Lin thought: "In this way, Tang Chao and Xiaoya have involuntarily intersected interests in the business world. You also participated in the incident of investigating the cultural and tourism park project in Songbei. Also, the lesson you taught Tang Chao was related to Xiaoya. And that time Tang Chao was detained, it was because of you. It seems that the bond between you and Tang Chao is very deep."

“Yes, it’s really not shallow.”

"So, do you suspect that what happened to you this time was Tang Chao? Do you suspect that he wanted to take revenge on you?" Zhang Lin turned to look at Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang couldn't help but admire Zhang Lin's meticulous thinking and nodded: "Actually it's not a doubt. I'm almost certain that he did it, but I don't have conclusive evidence."

Zhang Lin frowned slightly and murmured for a long time: "Although the evidence of Tang Chao's crime is difficult to find for a while, there may not be no other omissions..."

"Sister Lin, you mean..."

"I mean, as long as you can prove that you were not playing women in the bar at that time, you can restore your innocence."

"How to prove it?"

Zhang Lin remained silent for a moment and pondered.

Qiao Liang said pessimisticly: "This matter has been concluded in the organization, and it is difficult to overturn without very effective evidence. Moreover, a senior executive in the city also had a subjective motivation to get rid of me, and it just happened to fulfill his wish with the help of this matter. Therefore, even if there is evidence, he would not want to overturn the current conclusion."

Zhang Lin's eyelids twitched: "Is the senior executive you mentioned Secretary Jing? Do you suspect that he is still holding a grudge against the things you embarrassed him at the dinner table in Songbei?"

"Yes, don't think that he is a big man and has a broad mind. He couldn't let me go at that time, but I'm sure he has always been resentful of this matter and has always hated me."

Zhang Lin frowned and looked into the distance and fell into deep thought.

Qiao Liang was also silent.

The night wind blows gently, the waves hit the beach, making a slight sound of waves, and the surroundings are quiet.

Qiao Liang sighed for a long time: "I finally figured it out now that in the officialdom, the fate of the little people is always sad and always controlled by the big people. As long as you offend the big people, you will not be able to escape the fate of being punished sooner or later."

Zhang Lin looked at Qiao Liang: "Your words may make some sense, but even so, small people cannot be lambs at the mercy of others. You should raise your back when you should fight, and you should be hard when you should protect your legitimate rights and interests."

Zhang Lin's voice was not loud, but it was very powerful.

Qiao Liang smiled bitterly: "That's the case, but now I have reached this point. How to fight? How to protect my rights?"

Zhang Lin smiled slightly: "Struggle and protect rights rely on two words."

"What two words?"

"Justice!" Zhang Lin said slowly.

Qiao Liang was slightly stunned and looked at Zhang Lin blankly. Although she was a woman, the firmness and strength she showed when facing certain things was something that many men could not achieve.

Zhang Lin continued: "Qiao Liang, you must always believe in one sentence."

"What's the matter?"

"No matter when or in what environment, justice will eventually defeat evil. This is an eternal truth." In the night, Zhang Lin's expression was firm and her eyes were bright.

Seeing Zhang Lin's expression, Qiao Liang couldn't help but nodded, but still felt pessimistic.

Zhang Lin then said meaningfully: "Life has always been a journey of opposition. Pessimism is because of cowardice, cowardice is because of incompetence, incompetence is because of laziness. This laziness is not just about physical... What life needs most is strength and courage, and strength is achieved through enduring, courage is forced..."

Thinking about Zhang Lin's words, Qiao Liang seemed to have realized something, but he felt a slight confusion.

The next day, Qiao Liang and Zhang Lin visited Gulangyu for one morning, checked out in the afternoon and checked out at a hotel near the seaside in Xiamen City. Then they went to Nanputuo and Xiamen University. They walked around the beautiful campus of Xiamen University for more than 2 hours, and then left Xiamen University, and walked casually along the Ring Road, browsing the beautiful seaside scenery while walking.

At this time, the road around the island is very quiet, with tourists riding or walking in groups of three or three. The sun sets, and the sea reflects the beautiful colorful clouds.

After walking for a long time, Qiao Liang and Zhang Lin stopped and looked at the distance towards the sea.

"There is Kinmen Island over there." Zhang Lin reached out and pointed forward. Qiao Liang looked around. There was an island standing on the sea in the distance.

"I didn't expect it to be so close." Qiao Liang sighed a little emotion.

"Yes, it's very close but very far away." Zhang Lin also sighed a little.

"Hey, it's you..." The two of them were sighing, and a woman's voice came from behind.

Qiao Liang and Zhang Lin came to their senses, and Wu Huiwen was standing there with a smile, and there were two people standing next to them, one was Executive Vice Mayor Zheng Shidong, and the other was Qian Weishan, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government. They were also smiling at this moment.

Although Qiao Liang and they knew each other, they had little contact with each other, they only knew each other, but did not know each other.

Qiao Liang and Zhang Lin were both surprised to see the three of them appear here and hurriedly greeted her.
