"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, it's okay, I'm leaving. Ye Xiangyang waved his hand, and then prepared to go outside.

Lin Xiaoyue said: "Xiangyang, are you unbearable? If you are tired, really don't do it." ”

"It's really fine, don't worry, I just accidentally flashed my waist. I'm leaving. Ye Xiangyang pretended to be relaxed and light, and walked outside the room and helped Lin Xiaoyue close the door.

Lin Xiaoyue looked in the direction of the door, in a trance, thoughtful.

On the way back to the bureau, Jiang Dongcheng made a phone call to Zhou Licheng.

"Hello?"

"Director Zhou, do you have time to get off work tonight?"

Zhou Licheng said, "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, last time, I was in a bad mood, a little impulsive, and offended you twice, didn't I think that I was okay today, please have a meal and pay a loss?"

"Oh, that's it, it's nothing, I forgot, what kind of meal are you going to eat, forget it, I still have something to do today, let's do it another day." ”

"Hey, Director Zhou, are you still angry with me? I figured out that matter, it was indeed you who helped me, and I have always been very unhappy, so I made a special trip to invite you to dinner today. I even called a girl. If you really have something to do today, forget it, and if it's okay, you'll be rewarded. ”

When Zhou Licheng heard this, he said: "That's it, okay, I don't have anything particularly important, then I'll come and have a few drinks with Director Jiang." Where's the place?"

"The place hasn't been decided yet, I'll call you later. ”

"Okay. ”

In the evening, in a private room of a restaurant. Zhou Licheng pushed the door in, and Jiang Dongcheng, who was already waiting inside, stood up and said, "Director Zhou, welcome, welcome, come, sit down." ”

Zhou Licheng looked around for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that there is a beautiful woman? Why, you are alone?" and sat down.

"Hey, what's the hurry, she'll be here in a while. Order first. ”

The two of them ordered food and wine, and Jiang Dongcheng poured Zhou Licheng a glass of wine and said, "Come, Director Zhou, I'll toast you first." ”

"You're welcome. ”

The two of them touched a cup and drank, and Jiang Dongcheng said again: "Director Zhou, I really blamed you for that incident, you have a lot of adults, and I hope you don't worry about me." ”

"Hey, what did Director Jiang say, why should you take such a trivial matter to heart?"

"Director Zhou, it's just that I don't know something. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhou Licheng took out a toothpick from a toothpick holder on the table and scratched it in his mouth meaninglessly.

"This Ye Xiangyang, how did I hear that he was released on the morning of the 24th? I remember, I asked you to come over that day and told you that I wanted you to release him and send you money, it was that night, right?"

When Zhou Licheng heard this, his relaxed expression just now suddenly became stiff, and he took out the toothpick in his mouth and said, "Jiang ...... Director Jiang, who did you listen to, how can there be such a thing?"

"Huh. You don't care who I listen to, Secretary Lei of the municipal party committee should have called you that day and asked you to release Ye Xiangyang, right? The problem is, I feel strange now, you said that you have already released people, why do you still charge me money?"

Zhou Licheng was a little flustered and said, "Director Jiang, don't listen to other people's nonsense. It was true that Secretary Lei called me, but it was the next morning, and at that time, I was already ready to help you release you. I'm not fooling you about this, am I?"

Jiang Dongcheng said: "No. But if it's the kind of situation I'm talking about, Director Zhou, do you think it's foolish?"

"Director Jiang, it's really nothing, I really didn't lie to you, how can you trust me?"

"Zhou Licheng, you're still pretending to be with me here, aren't you? Don't think that you are the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, I'm afraid of you. If you don't fool me and don't treat me as a fool, the two of us treat each other like guests, talk and laugh, exchange courtesies, and don't offend each other. But if you do that now, then we won't be able to play anymore. ”

Zhou Licheng was flustered when he heard this, but he reluctantly coped: "Jiang Dongcheng, what do you mean? What about threatening me? I made me do something, and you still want me to return the money, right? ”

Jiang Dongcheng smiled and said, "Zhou Licheng, I'll give you one last chance." I warn you, it was the person who told me about it. It's the person he told you to let go, and you'd better not deny it here. ”

Zhou Licheng's heart was empty, but he still said: "There is no thing, how can you let me admit it?"

By now, it is no longer a matter of repaying the money, but a matter of losing face. If he admits this, he will not only have to return the money to Jiangdong City, but also lose face.

At this time, Jiang Dongcheng was holding a wine glass in his hand, and suddenly smashed it on the ground and said, "Zhou Licheng, are you embarrassed?!"

At this time, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a group of people were afraid that five or six rushed in, and said to Jiang Dongcheng: "Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"

"This old guy cheated me out of my money, what do you say?" Jiang Dongcheng glanced at Zhou Licheng casually and said.

"Then what else can I do? We'll cut him for you!" said a small flat-headed, thin, tall young man at the head, and walked directly to Zhou Licheng with a few brothers.

"No...... Director Jiang, are you kidding me?" Zhou Licheng suddenly became nervous, stood up, and looked at the young men in front of him with fierce faces.

"Zhou Licheng, did you cheat me out of my money?" Jiang Dongcheng said slowly, not looking at Zhou Licheng.

"Jiang ...... Director Jiang, I'm not ...... I'm embarrassed to admit it, but in fact, I didn't touch a penny of your money, and I was ready to return it to you a long time ago, isn't it...... Isn't the time right yet?"

Jiang Dongcheng glanced at the young men, and they went out and closed the door.

Jiang Dongcheng glanced at Zhou Licheng, Zhou Licheng was obviously a little frightened, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat down.

Jiang Dongcheng glanced at Zhou Licheng again, raised the cup in his hand and said, "Director Zhou, you said that if you admit it earlier, won't it be over? Why should the two of us hurt this harmony? Come on, come on, have a drink, and suppress the shock." ”

Zhou Licheng didn't move, and said: "Jiangdong City, you can do it, it seems that you have been prepared." Okay, I'll transfer you the money, or the same account that day, right?"

"Well, that's right. Jiang Dongcheng had no choice but to drink the wine in his cup.

Zhou Licheng turned the money over, and then said a little unhappily: "Director Jiang, please accept it." ”

Jiang Dongcheng took out his mobile phone, glanced at Tong, and then said, "Well, that's right. Director Zhou, that's good, let's even if this matter is in the past, you put me together, and I'll also get the money back, we will still be friends in the future, and we will take care of each other. ”

"Hmph, forget it, I can't afford to climb high, but I don't dare to treat you as a friend. Zhou Licheng said, stood up, went out of the door directly, and slammed the door.

When he looked at it, he saw that those young people were sitting in a box opposite the door just now, eating and drinking in the sea, and when they saw Zhou Licheng, they all looked at him. Zhou Licheng glared at them, then let out a silent muffled snort from his nose and walked away.

"Huzi, hurry up and take a look. At this time, the young man who was the leader before said to the younger brother who was sitting near the door.

"Yes, Brother Dong. ”

The young man came to the box opposite Jiangdong City, pushed the door in, and said to Jiangdong City: "Brother Jiang, that person is gone?"

"Well, it's already done. Jiang Dongcheng said, then took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from his bag, threw them on the table, and said, "Go and get them and share them with the brothers." ”

"Hey, yes, thank you, Brother Jiang. The young man picked up the money, and then said to Jiang Dongcheng: "Brother Jiang, next time you have something, call a few of us." ”

"Hmm. ”
