Chapter 196: Sleepless Nights

Hearing the mobile phone wake up in his sleep, Shen Huai was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and reached out to touch the mobile phone through Chen Dan's jade body. The mobile phone was already on the edge of the bedside table, and when Shen Huai's finger was touched, it fell to the ground with a "snap".

"Who called at this time?" Chen Dan opened her sleepy eyes and asked, she stretched over and lowered her head to help Shen Huai pick up the mobile phone that had fallen on the ground.

Outside the window, a faint moonlight sprinkled in, Chen Dan was wearing a crescent-colored silk pajamas, and he didn't wear underwear after falling in love before going to bed.

The mobile phone fell a little far, Chen Dan leaned over, the hem of the pajamas fell off, and half of the snow-white buttocks arched out, plump and round like the beautiful moon outside the window, and the plump and slender legs squeezed out the plump peach-like lips in the middle, like fresh clam meat, exposed to the moonlight, with soft and sparse fluff.

Shen Huai gently plucked his fingertips on his lips, Chen Dan leaned forward, the itch was unbearable, and when he turned around and handed the phone to Shen Huai, he knocked it on his head, and scolded coquettishly: "Death." ”

Shen Huai saw that it was Liu Weiguo's phone, and thought that Liu Weiguo called at this point, it should be a major progress in the case, so he sat up and answered the phone.

Although it was nearly July, it was still a little cool in the early morning, but Shen Huai sat up naked, and Chen Dan took a piece of clothing to put on him, but he hung up the phone with a solemn face without seeing Shen Huai say a few words, and asked, "What happened?"

"Pan Shigui committed suicide by jumping into the lake in Qinglong Lake......," Shen Huai said.

"How is it possible? How could Pan Shigui commit suicide by jumping into the lake," Chen Dan was startled, "Could there be other hidden secrets?"

"Nothing is impossible," Shen Huai put his mobile phone on the bedside table, lay down, hugged Chen Dan in his arms, told her not to think about anything, and said, "The case has been transferred to the Tangzha District Bureau at night, and Qinglonghu is in Xinjin, even if Pan Shigui is suspicious of committing suicide, it is also a matter for the Tangzha District Bureau to send someone to Xinjin County to coordinate......"

"This is a human life, although Pan Shigui is hateful, he is not guilty of death. Chen Dan was simple-minded, and it was difficult to face the news quietly for a while.

"Human life is at stake, this is not bad, but there are so many injustices in the world, who can control it?" Shen Huai shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't think I'm hard-hearted, I can only make the land of Meixi Town less sinful as much as possible......"

"You forced Pan Shihua to hand over Pan Shigui today, could it be that there was a dispute between them to make Pan Shigui like that?" Chen Dan thought of this, and a chill suddenly felt in his heart.

"Unless the public relations agency can find clear evidence of doubt, it can only be assumed that Pan Shigui committed suicide in fear of crime. Shen Huai said.

"Although Pan Shigui is dead, will Pan Shihua be unfavorable to you?" Chen Dan asked worriedly.

Shen Huai looked at the moonlight shining in outside the window and said, "Pan Shihua must have the courage to face me, so Pan Shigui doesn't have to commit suicide in fear of sin......"

Chen Dan looked at Shen Huai coldly in the moonlight, reached out and touched his cheek gently, and said: "Think about it, sometimes people are really too fragile, if I hadn't met you, I think there were some hurdles that I might not be able to survive......

Shen Huai looked at Chen Dan's eyes in the moonlight, shining, like stars hidden in the depths of the night, when he heard the news of Pan Shigui's "suicide in fear of sin", his heart was also full of coldness, only such a gaze of the eyes could make his cold heart thaw a little bit.

The vulgar society is inherently cruel and realistic, especially in officialdom, Pan Shigui's death is just a corner of the veil of officialdom's drunken fans.

Shen Huai was not worried that Pan Shihua would be unfavorable to him, in the final analysis, Pan Shihua did not have the courage to face him at all, so he would ask Pan Shigui to "commit suicide in fear of sin". There is no need for clear incriminating evidence, as long as Pan Shihua can't get rid of Pan Shigui's suspicions of "committing suicide in fear of crime" and him, Shen Huai believes that Tan Qiping will also marginalize Pan Shihua step by step, and from now on, Pan Shihua will become a thing of the past.

But the impact of the incident goes far beyond that.

Pan Shihua was transferred to the head of Tangzha District by the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, because of Tan Qiping's nomination, and recently he has also been deeply branded with the official line of the Tan family.

There is no clear evidence of the crime, as long as some people in the city think that Pan Shigui's "suicide in fear of crime" is related to Pan Shihua, it will also have a great negative impact on Tan Qiping.

If Tan Qiping is an open-minded person, he may think that this incident is an opportunity for the Tan family to purify themselves, and avoid Tan being dragged deeper by Pan Shihua alone and unable to break his arm to save himself, but will Tan Qiping be an open-minded person?

Shen Huai had huge doubts about this in his heart.

After this matter was diverted, Shen Huai did not feel sleepy, so he simply turned on the lamp and sat up; Meigang still had a bunch of materials to read before returning to Beijing.

Chen Dan also got dressed and helped Shen Huai sort out his luggage back to Beijing.

In addition to changing clothes, more souvenirs, Chen Dan took a large duffel bag and put these souvenirs neatly into it, Shen Huai had a headache and said: "Don't be so exaggerated, I'm squeezing the train back to Yanjing alone, such a big pile of things, you want to exhaust me to death?"

"Nonsense," Chen Dan glared at Shen Huai, coquettishly didn't let him say unlucky things, and said, "You have many relatives in your family, although the rich and noble families will not lack any rare things, but if you want to appear sincere, you have to carry these things back......"

"Why don't you go back with me, you can't let me suffer this alone. Shen Huai said.

"You went back this time in the hope of getting the understanding of your family, I went back with you, do you want to turn your face with your family?" Chen Dan stopped what he was doing, looked at Shen Huai, and said, "We are not children anymore, and we already know that we are not living in a fairy tale world." Of course, I believe that you will give up everything to marry me, but do you think that will make me happy? Really, I am very satisfied with the present, and you know what I was like before I met you, and if I am not satisfied, I am too greedy. ”

Shen Huai faced Chen Dan's cruel calmness towards him, he could only smile bitterly, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about it like Chen Shimei, let's talk about something else, right?"

"What did you say?" Chen Dan turned around and sat on Shen Huai's lap.

"This piece will be demolished immediately, and it will be divided into homestead for sale, and small western-style buildings will be built according to the rules. I calculated that a half-acre homestead costs 300,000 yuan, so the town will not post money into it. There are things that must be done to show others, you take the money to buy a homestead, I can't cheapen you a penny, but I suggest you buy two homesteads, anyway, Chen Tong will want a house when he gets married in the future. At this time, it seems to be a little expensive, but when Zhuxi Road is completed and the surrounding environment changes, it will be ......impossible for anyone to buy a homestead in this area at that time," Shen Huai said.

"I want to help Xiao Li also buy a homestead," Chen Dan said, "She is lonely, and the old mansion is almost occupied by Sun Yalin, if there is no place to stay, I will feel uncomfortable......

The thinking of the Chinese people also lies in the "roots", Shen Huai hugged Chen Dan, shook his head and said: "Forget Xiao Li, I don't know if Sun Yalin can stay in China for a few years, one day I don't like her, and it is ...... to drive her out."

"Do you have the ability to drive her away?" Chen Dan glanced at Shen Huai, and was deeply suspicious of this, if there was anyone else who could suppress Shen Huai now, she felt that there would be no one else except Sun Yalin.

Shen Huai touched his nose, didn't tell Chen Dan this, and said with a smile: "After this year, the town will consider taking back all the cultural station buildings, if you continue to do catering, you will have to consider finding another place now, I am also afraid that you will have pressure on your funds......

"The Zhuxi Hotel is running very well, and I don't think it will be too much of a problem to borrow some money," Chen Dan asked, "I just don't know if the old yarn factory warehouse can be taken down, after all, the car can't get in if it's nested inside......

The old yarn factory warehouse mentioned by Chen Dan is located on the west side of Anlan Temple, next to the old street wharf.

The old town of Meixi was prosperous because of the wharf, and the Sun family built a yarn factory in Meixi Town during the Republic of China, and the yarn factory built a warehouse yard next to the wharf of the old street for cotton yarn to enter and exit. This warehouse, along with Anlan Temple and a house of the Sun family, became the three largest buildings on the old street.

Meixi Old Street, the center of the old town, is a stone street, but unlike the stone street that is spacious enough to accommodate several horse-drawn carriages in the ordinary people's impression, Meixi Old Street is actually very narrow, only for a small car to enter and exit, and in the past, it was mainly used to haul goods by horse-drawn carriages or rickshaws.

With the completion of the Meixi Bridge, the focus of the development of Meixi Town has been moved to both sides of the Xiamei Highway, nested inside, and the Laojie Wharf and the warehouses by the wharf that cannot be passed by trucks will naturally be abandoned.

From the point of view of practicality, there is no need to keep such a narrow Meixi Old Street, but this piece of Republic of China architecture is well preserved, Anlan Temple is a municipal cultural protection building, it is a pity to demolish, but if you want to transform it at one time, you can't do it without tens of millions, and Meixi Town does not have this financial resources for the time being. Some money has been allocated this year, but it can only prevent the construction situation of Lao Cai from deteriorating.

Shen Huai nodded and said, "The news of the renovation of Meixi Old Street has also been made public, so I can't talk about inside information, but no one can know how determined I am, and I won't know how much the value of this area will rise." Although the old yarn factory wharf has been abandoned for many years, it is an old building in the Republic of China, the unified planning of the town can not be overturned and rebuilt, and the cost of renovation is too high, but after the completion of the river road, the old river wharf has been changed to a leisure square, the old street has been renovated, and the western-style building area in the south has been completed, the value of the old yarn factory warehouse will be thoroughly reflected. It seems far away, but it's actually only a matter of one or two years......"

Chen Dan nodded, before Shen Huai came over, Meixi Town invested millions of dollars every year in the construction of the town, but this year, Xinmei New Village was the first to start construction, and the Meihe Highway supporting the freight terminal was built by Meigang Duli, and the Zhuxi Road and Bridge Project will start in August at the earliest, the shantytown on the north side of Zhuxi Road will be demolished at the same time, and Meixi Old Street will also be initially renovated, and the construction investment is likely to reach 100 million this year, which is something that Chen Dan did not dare to think about before this.

The investment in municipal construction of the entire Tangzha District this year is only a little more than 100 million.

The economic take-off will bring a significant increase in business activity, and Chen Dan, who runs Zhuxi Hotel, has the most intuitive experience of this.

In the past, when He Yuelian contracted to operate the reception station, she could have a turnover of less than 100,000 yuan per month, which was unique in the reception station hotels in the surrounding towns and villages, but by the beginning of this year, the monthly turnover of the Zhuxi Hotel had doubled, and then continued to rise, and by the end of this month, Chen Dan estimated that the turnover of the Zhuxi Hotel this month could be almost 300,000.
