The whole sky was still painted with a faint dark color, and before five o'clock in the morning, a black car drove out of Anping County and got on the highway in the direction of the capital.

On the back seat of the black car, there was a man with combed back hair, the man was full of gloom, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked sad and helpless, with a little fear. The man was none other than Qiao Jinbao, secretary of the Anping County Party Committee.

Qiao Jinbao was so unhappy, not because he couldn't sleep on Saturday. After so many years in politics, although he is not diligent every day, it is common to get up early and be greedy for darkness, and Qiao Jinbao is fully able to adapt to it. The reason why he is so sad now is mainly because he is worried about this trip to the capital and the meeting with Brother Yang, and he always feels that it will be very troublesome. The attitude of the other party at this stage, as well as yesterday's phone call, is very revealing.

At this point, the situation of yesterday's phone call reappears in my mind.

……

Yesterday, when he was about to get off work, Qiao Jinbao had just finished a phone call with a "scoundrel", and another rogue call came. Seeing the word "Brother Yang" on his mobile phone, Qiao Jinbao had a headache.

At the end of June, after serious reflection, Qiao Jinbao decided not to fight with Chutian, so he expressed his scheming with the old leader, and the old leader affirmed and supported it. Then after Qiao Jinbao answered Brother Yang's call, he also said, "It's boring, I won't play anymore", and Brother Yang just said "oh" at that time and hung up the phone. But a few days later, Brother Yang called again, but Qiao Jinbao didn't answer again, and he was no longer ready to have anything to do with the other party. Since that day, Brother Yang has called several times, and Qiao Jinbao has the old way: if you want to call, I won't answer. Although he didn't answer it every time, Qiao Jinbao felt very uncomfortable and had a headache as soon as he saw the number and the annoying word "Brother Yang", but this time it was still the same.

The caller rang three times, and then there was no sound, and Qiao Jinbao had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and snorted coldly: "If you have the ability, you can fight again." ”

"Ding", two very short rings.

Could it be him? With doubts, Qiao Jinbao picked up his phone. A text message jumped out: Dare not answer the phone, have you thought about the consequences? Qiao Jinbao looked at the number again, it was Brother Yang's mobile phone number.

Threat, this guy threatens Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is afraid that you will not succeed? What can you do to Lao Tzu Qiao Jinbao gritted his teeth and was ruthless in his heart.

"Ding Bang", the mobile phone rings again, it is Brother Yang's phone.

Hearing the piercing ringtone and thinking of the content of the text message, Qiao Jinbao immediately disappeared, and couldn't help but worry in his heart: What is he going to do? What will he do?

Make your attitude clear to him again, so that he will not give up. Finding a reason for himself to go down the stairs, Qiao Jinbao pressed the answer button.

An eerie voice immediately came from the mobile phone: "Secretary Qiao is very busy." ”

Qiao Jinbao asked lightly, "Is there something wrong?"

The other party said "oh": "Secretary Qiao is official." How about we take the time to meet?"

Qiao Jinbao said: "Meet, I've been very busy with work in the past few days, and my schedule is full, and I can't leave at all." ”

"Can't leave? Secretary Qiao is a busy man, and it is understandable. After a pause, the other party said, "Since you can't leave, I can go to see you and look for you in the county party committee compound." ”

"You don't come, don't come. Qiao Jinbao hurriedly stopped.

"If I can't see you tomorrow morning, I will immediately take a plane to Jinbei Province at 12 o'clock at noon, and I will rush to your office before I get off work in the afternoon. The sound on the mobile phone stopped abruptly.

Holding his phone, Qiao Jinbao muttered: "He's coming to me, he will be on the plane at noon, and he will arrive before work." ”

No, how can this work? Qiao Jinbao realized that he must not let the other party come to the unit, who knows what that guy can say. Thinking of this, he hurriedly dialed back.

"Dut...... ......" ringback sounded, one after another, but no one answered. After fighting five times in a row, it was still the same, and Qiao Jinbao was anxious. Thinking about it from another perspective, he understands the other party a little, and he has treated others like this many times.

In desperation, Qiao Jinbao had no choice but to send a text message: Where will we meet in the capital tomorrow morning.

The text message was sent like a mud cow into the sea, and a long time passed, and there was no response. Qiao Jinbao sent it a second time, a third time, but the other party still didn't reply.

It was only at nearly ten o'clock in the evening that Brother Yang replied with six words: contact again in the capital.

After not sleeping well all night, it was not dawn in the morning, and his brain was groggy, so Qiao Jinbao embarked on a trip to the capital.

……

"Ding Bang", a bell rang, interrupting Qiao Jinbao's thoughts.

When he took out his mobile phone, it was another headache number, but Qiao Jinbao hesitated and pressed the answer button.

A shrill female voice came: "Where have you been? In the morning, no one answered the office phone, and I didn't go home at night." Didn't you go to the girls again?"

"What nonsense?" Qiao Jinbao subconsciously looked in the rearview mirror and covered his phone tighter, "Go out." ”

"Out of the house?" a burst of laughter came from the phone, "giggles...... Which door did you go out of? I'm afraid I just came out of ......."

"Get up early in the morning ......and let it go," Qiao Jinbao hurriedly interrupted the other party, "It's okay, I'll hang up." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it yet. The woman changed the subject, "I ask you, how is Ziming, why don't you save him, what are you going to do here......?"

"I'll talk about it when I get back, okay?" gritted his teeth and said this, Qiao Jinbao pressed the red hang-up button.

Hey, it's all a mess, why doesn't anyone understand me? Qiao Jinbao sighed secretly, very aggrieved in his heart.

Slowly rolling down the window, the refreshing morning breeze blew into the car, and the feeling of suffocation was reduced a little. As far as the eye can see, the darkness in the sky has completely faded, the whole sky is bright, the distant horizon is dyed with a pale gold color, and the sun is about to come out.

A sign crosses the side of the car with the words "Distance*...... kilometers are indicated", the numbers on it are not clear. It doesn't matter if you arrive at the city or not, and no matter how far you are from the city center, but it must be getting closer and closer, Qiao Jinbao's heart tugged.

When waiting for Brother Yang's reply to the text message yesterday, Qiao Jinbao was more worried that the other party would refuse his request, but insisted on coming to Anping. While waiting, he also hypothesized a variety of ways for Brother Yang to get to Anping, and also assumed a variety of things that Brother Yang might do. Although these are assumptions, many of them are pure assumptions, but he is still inexplicably worried, and always feels that the other party can have a way to make him unlucky. This worry lasted until the text message "contact you in the capital" was replied, but suddenly a new worry arose.

Judging from Brother Yang's reply, the other party agreed to go to the capital by himself. But what does the other party want to say to him, and what does he want to do? How should he reply? Can he promise him? Can he not agree? What means does he have, or has he caught any tricks? Qiao Jinbao thought wildly in his heart.

……

With the passage of time, there are no longer continuous mountains next to the car, and the terrain is relatively much more open. Outside, the sun had risen as high as it had gotten, and the sky was getting foggy and polluted. The villages and towns that pass by are no longer low-rise bungalows, but have become small buildings that are scattered together. Some of the buildings are also very beautiful, with yellow-green glazed tile roofs and chic shapes, which add some vitality to the space with serious smog.

The "* world" sign appeared in front of the right, the sign was clear, and the font on it was also very eye-catching. It won't take long to see Brother Yang who only hears his voice and doesn't see his face, what will that guy do to himself?

Suddenly, Qiao Jinbao realized an important problem: this trip to the capital was too passive, in fact, since he answered the phone yesterday, especially when he took the initiative to send a text message to the other party, he had already lost a game. Thinking of this, Qiao Jinbao regretted and feared, and secretly decided: He must not lose his son easily, otherwise I am afraid that he will only be at the mercy of others.

The "*boundary" sign slid past the car, and the sedan had already driven into the capital boundary.

"Ding", two short bells rang.

When I picked up my phone, a large text message appeared on the screen: *Municipal Tourism Bureau prompts, *City welcomes you, come*Tour......

I haven't finished reading this text message, and there are two short "dings". Scanning the SMS number, Qiao Jinbao immediately opened the new SMS, and the content of the SMS was very simple: Just arrived in the capital, the old place.

Old place, old place. With a secret thought in his heart, a place appeared in Qiao Jinbao's mind. He couldn't help but wonder: what kind of place is open in the morning?

The old doubts have not been removed, and new doubts have arisen: Why did Brother Yang send "just arrived in the capital", does he know my whereabouts? But it's clear that I've just passed through the boundary card and just entered the *city range. It's weird. Thinking of this, Qiao Jinbao's heart beat faster, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps on his body.

"Ding Woo Bang", the mobile phone rings.

Qiao Jinbao subconsciously looked in the rearview mirror and lowered the position of the phone. Seeing the caller ID on the screen, he was relieved and secretly laughed: Damn, let that guy become a frightened bird.

After stabilizing his mind, Qiao Jinbao sat up straight and pressed the answer button.

Chu Tianqi's voice came from the mobile phone: "Secretary, aren't you in the office?"

Damn, how does he know? Could it be that he also locates Lao Tzu? Otherwise, how can he still know that I am not in the office when the phone is so coincidental? With suspicion, Qiao Jinbao asked, "What's the matter?"

The other party talked about the matter: "Secretary, no one else disturbed me this weekend. If you have time, I'd like to touch you up on some recent things. I called your office phone and no one answered, so I called your phone. Aren't you there? Then I'll wait until you get back, when you have time. ”

That's the case, no wonder, Lao Tzu has really become a frightened bird. Qiao Jinbao's expression was relieved, and he said, "It's really unfortunate, I happened to be here, I'll talk about it when I go back." ”

The other person replied: "Okay, goodbye!"

After saying "goodbye", Qiao Jinbao hung up the phone and wondered: What did he say to me?

Chu Tianqi on the other end of the phone was also puzzled: I saw the lights on in his house very late yesterday, and he suddenly went out today? Where did he go and what were you doing?
