Rebirth: 1977

Li Guanghui sat down, scanned everyone's face, and made a careful suggestion:

"Director Si, I'm sorry, I want to talk to Mr. Ye first, is that okay?"

He originally came here for Si Kong Kong, but now he proposed to communicate with Ye Tianshui first, so naturally he had to greet the owner of this house.

"Yes, of course." Si Kong Kong agreed repeatedly: "We will stay here, you go to my study to talk."

Ye Tianshui originally wanted to say no, as they had already discussed it together and could guess the reason, but when he saw his brother-in-law’s embarrassed face, he agreed anyway.

The two people walked into Sikong Kong's study, which contained a bookcase, a desk and a chair.

Next to it is a pair of single sofas and a coffee table in the middle.

These things were included when Ye Tianshui first delivered the house after the decoration.

All the furniture was purchased in accordance with the later "move-in ready" approach, and everything is available.

Looking at it, it cannot be said to be 'spotless', but at least there is not much dust to be seen.

Si Kong Kong rarely used this study, just like his kitchen. He would only cook when his wife or children came over.

Normally, he eats three meals a day at work.

"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry. I let you and Deputy Director Xia down, and I let Director Si down for his trust. I didn't get things done, and I was a step late."

Li Guanghui apologized as soon as he opened his mouth and accompanied Xiao Xin cautiously.

What he regretted was that he arrived a step too late and failed to prevent it from happening.

Ye Tianshui reached out and pushed him to sit on the sofa:

"Don't be sorry. Tell me what you found that made you drive all the way here?

But it’s okay, don’t worry.”

Guessing is one thing, but the truth must be spoken by Li Guanghui himself.

When he saw Li Guanghui's chapped lips, he suddenly realized that he was not only tired from driving, but also from the pressure in his heart.

Since the incident happened in his jurisdiction, he has an unshirkable responsibility. He didn't dare to imagine what kind of pressure or blow he would suffer if Ye Tianshui took it seriously.

What's more, behind this matter stands Xia Minglei.

If they guessed correctly, it would be difficult for him to explain.

"Wait a moment, I'll get you a glass of water." Ye Tianshui stood up, opened the door and went out, telling Chen Jun:

"Go get Director Li a glass of water."

Si Kong Kong quickly said, "I'll do it. Sorry, I forgot because I didn't think it through."

Ye Tianshui thought that Li Guanghui drove here immediately after investigating at the hotel, and he probably didn't have the time or mood to eat dinner.

"What do you have at home? Noodles, eggs, anything.

Director Li is still hungry."

He didn't expect anything else.

"Yes, we have noodles, but no eggs."

Sikong Kong felt a little guilty. He bought the noodles in case he had no time to eat when he was on duty, so he could just make do with some to fill his stomach when he got home.

"Go get another bowl of noodles, with a heavier filling."

It's better to have something than nothing.

Ye Tianshui handed the water cup to Li Guanghui: "Drink some water first and then we can talk. There is no rush."

"Thank you!" Li Guanghui was indeed very thirsty now, so he quickly took the drink and drank it in big gulps.

After putting down the cup, Li Guanghui whispered, "Mr. Ye, it's great that you are here. I'm worried that it will cause trouble if I tell anyone about this."

"Don't worry, just tell me what happened." Ye Tianping said calmly.

“Director Si asked me to find Miss Xia and said her father wanted her to go home immediately.

He asked me not to alarm other people, fearing that it might affect Deputy Director Xia.

I understood what Director Si meant, so I went to investigate Miss Xia's whereabouts. Director Si told me that Miss Xia was receiving friends from Beijing, all of whom were second-generation young people.

Taking their spending level into consideration, I selected three hotels in Guangzhou that they might stay at.

When I checked the second one, I saw the room information registered by Miss Xia.

I originally wanted to quietly convey the message to her and then send her back.

Who knew, when I knocked on the door no one opened it, but there was a lot of noise inside, so I asked the hotel manager to give me the key.

"Alas... Mr. Ye, luckily I was the only one who entered the room. You don't know, it was so smoky inside, with two men and two women entangled together. It was really... really unbearable to watch!"

Li Guanghui is a middle-aged man who is about to enter into his second marriage. When he talked about this, he still showed an embarrassed expression on his face.

"You mean, you caught them in the act? Were there any signs of coercion?"

Xia Zijian's marriage really could not continue, but if Xia Yingying was forced, at least his brother-in-law's efforts had some value.

He also knew that this was somewhat self-deceptive.

Li Guanghui frowned and shook his head regretfully:

"They must have smoked that stuff beforehand, and the video recorder also played that stuff. They were all very excited. I used a baton to shock the two men so that they could not resist and then separated them.

The two women were also frightened awake. Before they could scream, I put the quilt on them and asked the manager to call a waitress to watch them put on their clothes.

Now, I have locked them in the hotel. If we take them to the police station, the impact will be too great.

The hotel leaders knew that if I pursued this matter, they could be arrested as accomplices.

So they dared not speak out, nor disobey my orders.

The two men were very arrogant and said that if I didn't release them immediately, someone would remove me from my position if I dared to do anything to them.

The two women seemed very scared and just cried and begged me to let them go.

But his words were full of threats to me.

They said that they were all children of high-ranking officials in the capital, and that I would be in trouble if I offended them.

I didn't know Xia Yingying, and they didn't know me either, so I just called out "Xia Yingying" to the two women to make sure, hoping that maybe she wasn't in there?"

Li Guanghui smiled bitterly, "Unfortunately, one of them immediately fell to the ground in shock and asked me how I knew her."

Ye Tianshui was silent for a while before he asked carefully, "Are you worried about being fired for offending someone?

Or are you still worried about how to deal with these people? "

Li Guanghui did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before replying seriously:

"If I am fired for this, I will accept it. I am now thinking about how to punish them.

But Deputy Director Xia’s people are inside, so I was hesitant, so I rushed over to hear your opinion.

You also know that there are people above who are really intervening, and I can’t do anything about it.”

"I..." Ye Tianshui's words were interrupted by a knock on the door outside:

"Master Ye, I've prepared the noodles. Shall we bring them in now?"

Sikongkong asked cautiously.

"Bring it in," he looked at Li Guanghui, "You must be hungry, right? Just eat it for now."

Sikong Kong brought a big bowl of noodles. Although it was smooth, it smelled delicious.

"Director Li, I'm sorry, there's nothing else at home."

"Thank you!" He stood up and took it.

Li Guanghui had been hungry for a long time, but he had something on his mind and ignored it. When he smelled the fragrance, he really couldn't resist.

"You can eat here. I'll go out and discuss it with them. They are all insiders, so you don't have to worry."

"You all knew about this? How is that possible?

For safety reasons, I handcuffed them all when I left. Since I had already offended them, I didn't care if I offended them more.

Did someone tip you off? "

Li Guanghui held the bowl and forgot to eat. He looked at Ye Tianshui in disbelief and asked questions.
