45. Follow-up questioning
"Su Yu, I heard our director say that my dad has something to do with you coming to the bureau to supervise, Su Yu, you and that Hua Cong came to check the information in our bureau, you sue me, did you find anything?"
Although she had been mentally prepared before coming, Li Jie would definitely find out the clues, but when she really faced it, she was still shocked for a moment.
"Su Yu......" My silence exacerbated the uneasiness in Li Jie's heart, and she couldn't help but grab my hand again, her eyes pleading.
"No......" I replied with a hard shake of my head as innocent as a fawn.
Li Jie didn't know if it was disappointment or something else, her face changed several expressions, but in the end she breathed a sigh of relief.
You should believe me.
After opening my eyes and talking nonsense, I was disgusted with myself for no reason.
Although it's a white lie, is it really good to hide it from her?
As for the truth...... I can't say it in public or private.
There were two different voices arguing fiercely in the bottom of my heart, and in the end, neither could defeat the other.
The dishes in front of me are full of color and aroma and completely lose their appeal.
Li Jie was immersed in her own thoughts, but she didn't notice anything strange about me.
The two of us were relatively silent.
Just then, her phone rang.
He turned his head and lowered his voice for a long time, and the expression on his face changed.
First sadness, then grievance, then gratification, and finally gratitude......
When she looked up at me after hanging up the phone, her eyes were full of stars: "Su Yu, you are in the working group, can you help me find out something?"
Let me...... Ask?
I was stunned and realized that maybe the person on the phone just taught her?
Who is it?
When he hesitated to answer, the pleading in Li Jie's eyes burned in full swing: "Isn't Hua Cong from the Commission for Discipline Inspection......? I can't talk to him, you work with him, you should ...... What can be asked. ”
The intermittent words actually revealed the grievances of inferiority, which made me refuse ruthlessly.
I was speechless for a moment.
Seeing that the tears in Li Jie's eyes were quietly oozing out of the corners of her eyes, she was unconscious, and her breathing became more and more difficult.
She is one of the few true friends I have since joining the work, and the meaning is ...... Unusual.
"But Hua Cong, you also know who he is, I'm afraid to ask...... Can't ask anything. As soon as my heart softened, my tone loosened.
Hearing that I was willing to give it a try, Li Jie immediately burst into tears and laughed, holding my hand tightly.
I couldn't resist her, so I took out my mobile phone and dialed Hua Cong as she wished.
It rang thirteen times, but no one answered.
Li Jie's face turned pale inch by inch.
"He, don't answer. I smiled wryly and looked at her with a feeble gaze.
"No...... Pick up ......" she repeated mechanically, knowing my helplessness, and suppressing the urge to pester me to go to Hua Cong to inquire again.
The two silently picked up the chopsticks and put them in their mouths, which tasted like chewing wax.
I felt sorry for her, but there was nothing I could do but say some vague words of comfort.
Although the air pressure was low, Li Jie was still able to restrain herself, and finally finished eating without panic.
Unexpectedly, when waiting for the waiter to pay, a phone call from someone broke all Li Jie's pretense of composure and last defense.
She held up the phone and cried.
For a while, I didn't know what had changed, and I was caught off guard when I met all kinds of eyes from all directions, and I suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
I knew it was not good, so I lowered my voice and quickly asked her, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Who is calling? Did you say anything on the phone?"
"Someone...... Someone notified...... I, say, say my dad, the procuratorate has filed a case......" Li Jie said and dropped the phone and lay on the table, her shoulders shaking.
His dad was put on file?
My face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The mood is terrible to the extreme.
