Li Liang didn’t say all of his words, but I already understood what he meant, he was trying to tell me that a new director was coming up.
Honestly, I wanted very much for this person to be mine.
But none of my contacts in Tongcheng were suitable for the position.
This is Li Liang’s way of hinting that if I get rid of the Green Dragon Gang, he can give me a hand in this.
You can’t say this kind of thing through, you can only hint at it in such an incoherent way.
We both looked at each other with an unspoken smile.
Chu Xiaoxiao is a straight shooter and asks, “Is he giving up so easily? I’ve heard that he’s not dead yet and is still trying to find a way to climb back into this position.”
The family of Quan Quan’s old husband was very powerful, and he was able to find someone to run him out even after he was taken away by the central government, so this energy was not small.
Chu Xiaoxiao’s question got to the point, and I wanted to ask it too.
If the matter is not settled there, then I promised Li Liang that it would be a waste of time.
The actual punishment decision has not been released yet, in order to prevent him from finding someone to operate. I told you two, you two can not say out ah. But the punishment decision is already out, complete will be expelled from the police force, removed from all positions, and expelled from his party membership. You must keep this matter confidential, I’m waiting for a critical moment before announcing it.”
I was slightly surprised, I didn’t think Li Liang had left a hand.
However, Li Liang had been in the official circles of Tong City for so many years and had sunken into the eunuchs’ sea, so he could never be a simple and tactless foolish white girl.
I was curious as to when Li Liang was going to make his move.
Chu Xiaoxiao asked before I could, “Uncle Li, please give us a little insight.”
“Heaven’s secret must not be revealed.” Li Liang said with a smile.
He, an old official, didn’t say anything thoroughly and kept making Chu Xiaoxiao and me guess riddles.
Li Liang had a crucial vote in the selection of the police chief of Tong City.
I had thought about taking the position, and the old man had given me the same promise, but what he said was that he would think of something for me after we had solved the gun trafficking case.
There is no major breakthrough in the gun trafficking case at the moment, but the threat of Jiang Ming is a presence that cannot be ignored.
I need the police as a force to deal with Jiang Ming.
Because I know very well that even if I don’t deal with Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming will deal with me.
We are like two lions who hate each other and sooner or later we will fight to the death. My enmity with him is too deep to be shared.
In the past, Jiang Yunqing was like an iron fence that stood between us, forcing us apart.
Now that Jiang Yunqing is dead, there is no one left to stop Jiang Ming, and likewise, no one can stop Jiang Ming anymore!
I would now no longer take Jiang Ming’s abilities lightly; he was an absolutely terrifying enemy, like an evil spirit.
No enemy I’ve ever seen on the battlefield would be as insane as Jiang Ming.
The most terrifying thing about being an enemy of Jiang Ming is not being defeated by him, but even if you defeat him, you have to be careful not to be dragged into the swamp of mutual destruction.
He is the kind of demon who will drag his opponent down with him!
I could no longer rely solely on Snow Leopard, or simply on Junran; I needed stronger support.
Chu Xiaoxiao was a little happy and was about to say yes when I pressed her hand and said to Li Liang, “Uncle Li you are joking again, what happens in the end to the complete is the sanction of the law, we are surely all relieved. I hope the next director will be an objective and just person. That way we can wipe out the Green Dragon Gang in one fell swoop.”
I snapped back the tai chi again and Li Liang laughed, surprisingly not angry at me for kicking the can down the road all the time.
Instead, he said admiringly, “Hey Xiaochao, you and Xiao Ge are obviously the same age, but sometimes I always feel that Xiao Ge is still a child, but you’ve long been a mature man. You didn’t say yes to me decisively today, but instead of thinking that you’re insensitive, I think you’re very mature. Just for this attitude you have now, I fancy you.”
This sounded like a compliment, but in fact it was a way of telling me not to be insensitive and to stop acting like a p*ssy.
I laughed too, it was good to stop pretending, and I said, “Uncle Li, honestly, if you were still beating around the bush like you did just now, I wouldn’t be saying these heartfelt words to you. It’s just that I see you for the person you are, seeing as you’ve already made no attempt to hide your attitude.”
I stood up and poured a glass of wine for Li Liang.
Chu Xiaoxiao was confused, watching the two of us smile meaningfully at each other and muttered in a low voice, “What’s going on, two people talking like a riddle.”
The meal lasted until eight o’clock in the evening, and when we came out, it was dark.
Li Liang was wearing a tweed coat, wrapped in a collar to keep out the cold, and looked up at the fireworks in the sky.
“It’s almost New Year, and it’s time for New Year in Tong.”
I said, “Just wait for the fireworks to arrive and we’ll celebrate New Year.”
Li Liang laughed, “Hahahaha good. Little Chao, I’ll go back first, you don’t have to worry about this boy Li Ge, I’ll make sure to drive him out of Tong City and not let him bother you anymore.”
“There’s no need to be too harsh on him, let him stay in Xi’an for three years and then come back.”
Li Liang twitched the corners of his mouth with a leathery smile, originally it was just to save face in front of me, but he didn’t expect me to go along with it and send his son to Xi’an for three years with a single word.
But since I had spoken, Li Liang could not refute it, so he accepted it in a calm manner.
He got into a car that came from far away, and when the window was rolled down, I saw that the one driving was the big man who just took Li Ge.
Chu Xiaoxiao and I watched Li Liang leave, and only when Li Liang was far away did Chu Xiaoxiao rub his chin and ask, “What’s wrong with you two talking, it’s like a mute riddle.”
I smiled, stroked her long hair and said, “That’s the way officials talk. When I was in the army, the senior leaders spoke in a more roundabout way.”
“Hey, I really don’t know how to speak in these scenes. I find I’m so useless, I’m really worried that one day I won’t be good enough for you.”
“No, I can do these things.”
“Hehehe, at least I can push your wheelchair now. I can walk on two legs, so that’s better than you.”
Chu Xiaoxiao made me laugh so hard that tears came out of my eyes as she pushed me along under the dim streetlights, the yellowing leaves of the sycamore trees covering the white lines on the road.
Suddenly I felt that it was actually quite nice to limp a little now and then.
But just then, I felt that something was wrong with the sounds nearby.
I shouted, “Wait.”
Chu Xiaoxiao stopped and asked me what was wrong.
I said again, “Nothing.”
She pushed and punched me for a while and I shouted to stop again.
This time Chu Xiaoxiao was not happy and asked me what was wrong.
“Don’t you be afraid, someone is following us. He stops when his footsteps follow us and he walks when we walk.”
This man was definitely coming from the wrong side of the tracks.
This wasn’t good, my leg wasn’t healed enough to fool a fool like Li Ge, but it wasn’t enough to deal with someone with kung fu.
I wasn’t worried about my own safety, I was worried about Chu Xiaoxiao’s safety.
