"Mom, what's wrong with Lin Xi?"

"People from the Public Security Bureau just took Xibao away, saying they were cooperating with the investigation of the factory fire." Liang Rumei started crying as she spoke, "Yi Ze, what should I do? It's already past six o'clock."

"Mom, I'll go to the Public Security Bureau right away. Don't worry."

He comforted Liang Rumei not to worry, but his own hands were already trembling. He pulled Yao Fei into the car, his face gloomy along the way, and he held the phone tightly in his hand.

When he arrived at the public security bureau, Lu Chen was already waiting at the gate.

"Yi Ze, I don't know about this. It is said to be the intention of the municipal party committee. There was a commotion on the Internet two days ago, and someone wrote a letter of complaint to the municipal party committee. I just got the news."

"What are you complaining about?"

"How do I know this? They didn't come to us at all. We just acted instead and brought the people for questioning first."

After hearing this, Shen Yi panicked, "Where is that person now?"

"It should be at the inspection office." Lu Chen was a little helpless.

"Lin Bin has already been arrested today, why are you still looking for Lin Xi?"

"On routine business, if we receive a report, we must investigate it. After all, Lin's is also an old company that has been around for many years."

"I have a new witness now. You think of a way and I want to submit new evidence. As you know, I have always been in charge of Lin's management. If you want to review it, come to me. She doesn't know anything."

"Don't worry, it's just a routine investigation. I will handle the witnesses properly. You go home first and wait for news. There is no use here."

Shen Yi was afraid of delaying Lu Chen's trial of Yao Fei, so he reluctantly returned to the car.

He sat quietly, tapping his fingernails on his phone, wondering what he was thinking.

Qin Chuan watched his boss get into the car without saying a word. He didn't know where to go for a while, so he sat silently with him.

After thinking about it, Shen Yize finally took his mobile phone and made the call.

The phone rang for a while before the call was answered, with a gentle voice.

"Hey, Yi Ze!"

"Secretary Xu, I have to trouble you about something. Because of the Lin's fire, someone reported Lin Xi and was taken away by people from the Municipal Party Committee's Supervision Office. Could you please..."

"I will go and find out the situation, don't worry yet."

Xu Bowen hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Qin Chuan glanced at Shen Yize through the rearview mirror and wondered when his boss had gotten so close to Secretary Xu.

Shen Yi hung up the phone and whispered: "Go to the municipal party committee."

No matter what, he had to go and take a look. Even if he couldn't see anyone, it would be nice to get closer to her.

Shen Yize's car parked in front of the municipal party committee. For no suitable reason, he could only sit in the car and stare at the office building in a daze.

He had experienced the feeling of being questioned over and over again, but he didn't want Lin Xi to experience this feeling again.

He felt uncomfortable when a familiar Hongqi car drove in. He recognized the license plate number of that car.

Shen Yi got out of the car and stood on the roadside smoking cigarettes one after another.

An hour later, the Hongqi car drove out, and Shen Yi hurriedly got in and asked Qin Chuan to follow.

The car finally arrived at a restaurant. Seeing Lin Xi get out of the car and walk into the restaurant, Shen Yi's heart calmed down.

He originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xu Bowen's secretary.

"Mr. Shen, let's wait for a while. Secretary Xu wants to talk to Miss Lin alone."

Shen Yi saw Secretary Yang looking at him calmly and asked doubtfully, "You know I'm following you?"

Secretary Yang smiled and said, "I've seen you since coming out of the municipal party committee, but Miss Lin didn't notice you."

"Secretary Yang, I would like to take the liberty of asking, have you found out who reported it? What was reported?"

This is what Shen Yi is most concerned about now.

"I'm not sure about this. I just submitted the evidence I got from the Public Security Bureau."

Secretary Yang didn't want to say anything, and Shen Yi didn't ask again.

The two sat and chatted in the car. After all, their identities were too sensitive and they shouldn't have too much interaction.

Lin Xi sat opposite Xu Bowen in the private room. Her mood was indescribably complicated. The person she least wanted to be involved with was still involved.

Compared with Zi's false accusation, she didn't want to have anything to do with Xu Bowen.

Lin Xi lowered her eyes, but Xu Bowen could feel her resistance.

He said warmly: "Xiaoxi, eat something first."

Lin Xi secretly took a breath and said, "Secretary Xu, we don't know each other very well. It sounds awkward to me when you call me that. This time, my family is making a fuss out of a molehill. I didn't expect to trouble you."

Xu Bowen was mentally prepared. Lin Xi's attitude was not surprising, or in other words, this attitude was already calculated. If it were Ruhui, she would definitely not sit face to face with him.

Such a noble and proud woman left a lingering mark in his heart.

Everyone in his family said that they were not suitable, and that Ruhui's character was not suitable for their family's environment at all, but he didn't care. What he was obsessed with was not only her appearance, but also the quiet feeling of the open valley.

That frankness, that arrogance, and that sense of not causing trouble were things he had once been beyond his reach.

Thinking of Liang Ruhui, Xu Bowen smiled helplessly, "You have the shadow of your mother, but your personality is much better than hers."

Lin Xi chuckled, with a cold voice, "My personality is already perverse enough, why is it that she is not likeable if her personality is not as good as mine?"

"Xiaoxi, I can understand that you have prejudices against me, but I have no second thoughts about your biological mother. I just like her pride. Things were a bit complicated back then, and I was indeed negligent, which caused her Leave with hatred. These things have passed and I can no longer compensate Ruhui, but you, I want to do my best to make up for my debt to you. "

Xu Bowen's voice was trembling, and he clasped his fingers tightly and looked at Lin Xi nervously.

"I'm sorry, Secretary Xu. I don't want your compensation. I'm living a good life. Thank you for your concern, Secretary."

Lin Xi's hostility toward him was not just because he was negligent about what happened back then, but because he had never said anything about what he would do to the woman who used her scheming to force her biological mother away.

It's not that she can't understand this obvious favoritism, but she still can't get over it. What she wanted was Tang Jingxian's apology, but he didn't say a word.

"Xiaoxi, I am your father, whether you want to recognize it or not, I am. My grandparents are old, but they also want to see you in their lifetime. They will arrive at noon tomorrow, and I hope you can see the old man's heart and soul. Go meet them."

Lin Xi was a little angry and said, "Secretary Xu, has your family always been like 'cows don't drink water but force their heads to be pressed'? No one can force me to do something I don't want to do. Maybe many people want to have someone like you." Father, but I’m sorry that my dad has been dead for almost six years. He keeps saying that he wants to make up for it. An illegitimate daughter who can’t be seen on stage and can’t be seen in the light, is this the compensation you want to give me? "

Xu Bowen was speechless. What they could give was indeed too little.

Seeing that Xu Bowen was silent, Lin Xi changed the topic. She was very curious about the report letter.

"Secretary Xu, is it convenient to reveal the report letter?"

When Xu Bowen mentioned the report letter, his face froze obviously.
