Because the incident involved Zhong Minxiu, Meng Jinxing did not report directly to Xia Minghan when he returned from Dujiang. Instead, he returned to the demonstration area, closed the office door for the first time, and stayed inside to think alone.

His abnormality caused Chu Yuan and others to speculate a lot, but no one dared to test the reason.

When the lights came on, Liu Aibao was the first to knock on the door. No one answered the door for a long time. She was so anxious that Xiao Haifeng got a spare key to open the door.

When the door opened, the room was filled with smoke. Meng Jinxing stood in front of the window like a clay sculpture, looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window.

"Director, are you okay?" Liu Aibao turned on the light and asked worriedly.

Meng Jinxing's back remained motionless, but he replied to her in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, you all go back!"

Liu Aibao and Xiao Haifeng looked at each other and advised: "No matter what, you should go have dinner first!"

"What I need most now is silence!" Meng Jinxing's low and hoarse voice contained a hint of impatience.

Liu and Xiao reluctantly withdrew and closed the door again for him.

Meng Jinxing was indeed anxious.

From day to night, he was still unable to find a perfect solution. As time passed by, this anxiety became heavier and heavier, weighing him down like a mountain.

He couldn't keep suppressing the Qingping Tungsten Mine issue, but he couldn't help Zhong Minxiu get out of it, and it gave him a tearing pain.

This pain made him realize more deeply what kind of risks Zhong Minxiu took when he did so.

It wasn't until nearly midnight that he finally decided to take a risk, tell Xia Minghan the truth about the tungsten mine, and then take on the matter. By doing so, he was risking both Ge Yunzhuang's and Xia Minghan's political lives, but he had no choice.

.

He walked to the table and put out the cigarette in his hand, then picked up his mobile phone and key bag on the table, walked to the door, turned off the light, closed the door, and walked downstairs with heavy steps to leave.

Hu Sihai had been waiting in the parking lot of the yard. He saw Meng Jinxing coming out of the office building from a distance. He immediately got out of the car and opened the car door. He waited for Meng Jinxing to get in the car and closed the door for him.

Just as he got into the car, Meng Jinxing's cell phone rang suddenly in the dark night.

The call came from Feng Lin, who arrived in Lanli County one day later than Kang Yue and the others.

He told Meng Jinxing that things were not going smoothly.

The day before Feng Lin arrived, Kang Yue and Mo Bai had a bad encounter at the Propaganda Department of the Lanli County Party Committee. The local female minister knew that there was illegal detention of young hostages, but she still said in an extremely cold voice that there was a problem.

In Changfeng County, if Changfeng had not owed money to the farmers in Leihe Town, such a thing would never have happened.

Not only that, when the female minister asked Kang and Mo to meet with the county party committee secretary to discuss their intention to rescue the little hostage, she actually said coldly that Kang should not alert the county party committee secretary for such a trivial matter.

Kang Yue protested and argued hard, but it was like a heavy punch on cotton.

After Feng Lin met with them, the three went to the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee for the second time. Finally, a deputy minister agreed to take them to the Political and Legal Committee and met with the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the Director of Public Security.

Feng Lin said on the phone: "...No one here knows about the kidnapping of Ma Wenlong, but everyone overwhelmingly believes that Changfeng is at fault. Although they sympathize with Ma Wenlong's experience, when asked about the whereabouts of their child, they said

We went to investigate but found no clues. After repeated negotiations, they sent a comrade from the criminal investigation team to accompany us to Leihe Town."

Meng Jinxing rubbed the sun with his right hand and asked, "Have you seen the child?"

"No! But I saw the person who kidnapped the child."

"Oh?" Meng Jinxing moved in his seat, "Really a farmer?"

"Yes. The leader is Wu Guangyu, the director of the Leihe Grain, Oil and Food Factory. This man has been the village party secretary for more than 20 years and has great authority among the masses. There are seven or eight people who came with him, all from the same village.

Villagers.”

Meng Jinxing's scalp was a little numb, and it was due to this kind of clan relationship. Even if he had not faced this kind of thing once or twice, he had successfully solved the problem in the end, but it was all in this province and at his place of work. Like

Anyone can imagine that in this cross-provincial situation, the problem will definitely be more difficult to deal with than locally.

Feng Lin's next words immediately proved his idea, "Wu Guangyu and the people he brought are very arrogant. They are not afraid of the police from the criminal investigation team, nor the secretary, nor the mayor. They even said that they knew it was illegal to do so, but since debt collection

They have no choice but to take a gamble. As long as they can get the money back, it’s worth going to jail. If they can’t get it back, they will throw their children into the lake together and die.”

Meng Jinxing frowned when he heard this, "Have you asked them about the process of coming to Changfeng to ask for money and petitioning?"

"They said it themselves before we asked." Feng Lin suddenly sighed, "If you put aside the children's affairs and look at their experiences independently, it would be really pitiful! Xu Jianguo ran away, and Ma Zhenyun couldn't pay.

Money, they have no way to go to heaven or earth."

"Didn't you ask to see the child?" Meng Jinxing asked.

"I mentioned it, but they refused to let me see it unless we could give them one hundred thousand yuan on the spot." Feng Lin said, "According to Wu Guangyu, they deliberately asked Ma Wenlong to write the letter, in order to attract the attention of all walks of life, especially

It’s the attention of the news unit, and it’s best if this matter is reported as high up as possible, so that Changfeng County has to pay attention to this matter and spend money to pay them back.”

Meng Jinxing was stunned for a moment.

If this is the other party's sincere thoughts, it is enough to show that the whole thing happened with the tacit approval of the local government. All these actions were performed openly and openly with the local government turning a blind eye.

At this time, Meng Jinxing saw that the car had entered the parking lot of Xianzhao. He raised his hand and looked at his watch and asked, "To what extent are we talking about it now?"

"They promised to give us an answer tomorrow for our request to see our children," Feng Lin said. "The two reporters Kang and Mo and I have now returned to Shakou. They are working on the story overnight and plan to have the news published tomorrow morning.

Front page headlines!”

"Thank you for your hard work, greet the two reporters for me. I will report your situation there to Secretary Xia right away." After Meng Jinxing finished speaking, he closed his phone and got out of the car.

He went directly to Xia Minghan's room, and the person who opened the door was not Xia Minghan himself, but Zhong Minxiu!

Entering the room, Meng Jinxing discovered that He Miao was also there, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

He just thought behind closed doors and completely forgot whether He Maoshan would contact Zhong Minxiu after he left!

Xia Minghan's face was clouded, and when he saw Meng Jinxing, he asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter with you?"

Just this brief question made Meng Jinxing feel cold from head to toe. Zhong Minxiu must have shouldered the whole thing!

Before he could open his mouth, Zhong Minxiu had already said: "Xiao Meng, Secretary Xia and Secretary He are talking to me. Can you please wait and report on your affairs tomorrow?"

Xia Minghan glanced sharply at Zhong Minxiu and asked Meng Jinxing: "What do you want to say?"

Zhong Minxiu raised her head and stared at Meng Jinxing closely, with warning in her eyes, which made Meng Jinxing tremble involuntarily.

He closed his eyes, and then said to Xia Minghan: "The kidnapping of Ma Wenlong will be on the front page of Dawn News tomorrow."

Xia Minghan looked at Meng Jinxing for a while, his face softened slightly, but his tone was still stern, "The reporter you are looking for?"

"Qin Wanhua's students went there, and Feng Lin from our side also passed by," Meng Jinxing said.

Xia Minghan snorted softly and said after a long time: "Is there anything else?"

Meng Jinxing felt that his throat was clogged and he did not dare to look at Zhong Minxiu anymore. He shook his head at Xia Minghan numbly, turned around and walked out the door.

The distance from where he stood to the door was only two or three meters, but he felt as if he had walked a long way. When his hand held the doorknob, he finally turned around and said to Xia Minghan:

"I want to tell the three secretaries about Qingping..."

"Meng Jinxing!" Zhong Minxiu stood up immediately, her face was pale, and her almond-shaped eyes were wide and glaring at him. Meng Jinxing clearly read despair in it.

Xia Minghan looked at Meng Jinxing coldly and said, "If you have anything to do, come to the office tomorrow. I don't have time to listen to your report now."

Meng Jinxing's heart was filled with sadness, and he suddenly turned around and rushed out of Xia Minghan's room.

Hu Sihai put down the driver's seat and dozed in the car. He vaguely heard the sound of the car door being opened. He immediately sat up and heard Meng Jinxing's voice coming from the back seat: "Brother Hai, find a place to drink!

"

Hu Sihai was stunned for a few seconds before he said "Hey", started the car and drove away from the county, and asked: "Do you want to call the other brothers?"

"No, we can do it. If we don't get drunk, we won't get home." Meng Jinxing leaned his head on the back seat and closed his eyes. After a while, he felt something cold dripping on his face.

Hu Sihai drove around for a long time before he found a shop that was not closed in a small street. The two of them sat at a small table on the sidewalk and ordered a box of beer and a few dishes. They took off the bottle caps and didn't use cups.

Just drink.

While ordering, Hu Sihai secretly called Xu Yang in the restaurant and told Xu Yang to come and watch from a distance, in case he got drunk with Meng Jinxing.

Immediately, he called home again and said that he might not be able to return to the boss tonight.

After the arrangements were made, he went back outside and drank with Meng Jin in the sea.

It was also thanks to his arrangement that Meng Jinxing, who had always been a drinker, vomited after three bottles of beer that night, and was so drunk that he was unconscious within half a dozen bottles. He and Xu Yang spent a lot of effort to get out of bed.

Bring Meng Jinxing, who is as heavy as an ox, back to Sheshan.

The two of them were afraid that something might happen to him, so they didn't leave Meng Jinxing's dormitory that night and stayed with him all night.

Early the next morning, when Meng Jinxing sobered up, Hu Sihai excused himself to buy breakfast, leaving Xu Yang to talk to Meng Jinxing.

The disheveled Meng Jinxing lit a cigarette, smoked half of it and said to Xu Yang, "I'm such a bastard!"

Xu Yang frowned and said, "If you have something on your mind, you might as well say it. No matter what, with a few of my brothers here, we can't get over any obstacles."
