Although they were worried, it was very peaceful, Chu Tianqi and Li Jian slept until late and got up, and when they woke up, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning on Saturday. After washing, checking out, checking the vehicle, and eating, it was already past eleven o'clock, and the "Santana 2000" departed from the provincial capital.

Just in case, instead of taking the nearest direct expressway, we made a detour from the provincial capital to the capital, and from the capital to Chengkang. At about six o'clock in the afternoon, the "Santana 2000" stopped smoothly downstairs in the Chengkang Municipal Government, and the moment he unfastened his seat belt, Chu Tianqi suddenly settled down. He noticed that Li Jian also showed a smile at the right time, obviously in the same mood as himself.

Back in the office, Chu Tianqi first made a cup of tea, washed his face, and then sat on a chair, picked up the tea and tasted it slowly. When I entered the city just now, I was in a hurry to eat in a small restaurant, and my stomach was a little uncomfortable. Now after a few sips of fragrant tea, the discomfort in my stomach disappears, and I feel refreshed.

Of course, Chu Tianqi also understood that the reason why he felt very comfortable was not because of physical comfort, but mainly because of spiritual pleasure. Detouring through the capital, although it took a few hundred kilometers and a few more hours, it was the most important thing to arrive safely.

Today's safe return to Chengkang still depends on the timely return to Yanyun last night, if you don't return to the provincial capital yesterday, the consequences are really unimaginable. That phone call last night not only helped me, but also saved myself and Lijian's life.

Although he is different from the other party, although there is no better way to repay it at present, the grace of saving his life must not be forgotten, and he must always say something, at least he should say it first. Thinking of this, Chu Tianqi dialed the number that was not stored on the mobile phone, but was clearly printed in his mind.

There was silence on the phone for a while, and a female voice came out: "The number you dialed is not in the service area." ”

Hit again, it's still this prompt, three times in a row, it's all the same.

Putting down the phone, Chu Tianqi realized that maybe the other party did not use this number for his own safety, or it was also for his own safety. Yesterday's caller ID was hidden, I don't know if this number was used. Of course, it may also be that there is no signal for the time being.

So, Chu Tianqi dialed once in a while, but until seven o'clock, the same female voice on the mobile phone responded.

Since you can't get through, let's reply to a message, in case the other party can see it when they turn it on, so it doesn't seem that they are too unreasonable. Thinking of this, Chu Tianqi opened the text message interface, typed in the word "thank you" and an exclamation mark, sent it, and then put the phone on the table.

After a short time, the phone emitted two short prompt tones, which were the sound of text messages. Chu Tianqi picked up the phone suspiciously, only to see a line of words pop up on it: Uncle Shi, you're welcome, that's what I should do.

"Ding Dong", a few short message prompts, or the message sent by that number, this time the message content is longer, and it took three screens to finish: Uncle, I feel very honored to be able to help you a little, please don't be grateful, let alone have the intention of reciprocating, I am completely willing. In the future, if Uncle Shi is in trouble, as long as I can help, I will take action, and please don't be polite. I admire my uncle and my master very much, but we have taken completely different paths, and our relationship has never seen the light, and I am also worried about affecting my uncle. If there is anything special in the future, Uncle Shi can send a message to this number, and I will call you back in time. If there is nothing special, if it is just to send a 'thank you', please don't send it, and I won't get back to you. After reading these words, please be sure to delete it, that will be good for you and me. You also don't have to reply with a reply like "received", I know you will definitely receive it.

After reading the information twice in a row, Chu Tianqi was full of emotion, lamenting that although he claimed to be upright, selfless, and upright, he couldn't catch up with this reckless person in some aspects. Of course, he also has a deep helplessness, and this helplessness is not something he can change. If he wants to change, then the most likely outcome is that both of them are destroyed.

Why did he do so much to me? Did I do anything for him? Chu Tianqi asked himself.

Thinking about it carefully, the first time I met the other party, I didn't know each other, I only knew that the other party was Brother Long, and the other party only regarded himself as the goal of the mission at the beginning. But when the other party saw his whipping method, he led to a public case of his father and recognized himself as his uncle. It was also at that time that the other party was injured in the leg by blocking the bullet, and he also used the family heirloom hemostatic powder to treat the other party's injuries. Although the other party said very sincerely at that time, he only regarded the past as once, thinking that he had already made it clear, and subconsciously rejected the identity of the other party and that person. But in the dark, the other party helped himself again and again, and he helped a lot, and he didn't want anything in return, and this time he sent a text message with such content.

Although I don't know if the other party has a deeper plan, whether it is simply to repay the favor of my father, but judging from several contacts in the past few years, the other party is frank and helpful, while he is snobbish and avoids trouble. Compared with the two sides, he seems to be much smaller, how can he really be embarrassed, Chu Tianqi is very embarrassed, but he has a deep sense of powerlessness. The joy generated by the safe and smooth return instantly turned into shame and self-blame, blaming oneself for not knowing that one's kindness would be repaid, and ashamed that it was so difficult to compare one's heart with one's heart.

……

Just when Chu Tianqi's mood fluctuated from time to time, the sound of "ding" sounded in the room.

Picking up his mobile phone, Chu Tianqi saw a string of hidden numbers on the screen, and the word "Brother Long" immediately appeared in his mind. But the moment he touched the green answer button, he didn't speak first, because he also thought of another person, possibly a third person.

No one spoke on the phone, but Chu Tianqi heard a subtle sound of air currents, and it was obvious that the other party was very close to the phone.

After a stalemate for dozens of seconds, a voice finally came from the phone: "Chu Tianqi, are you there?"

Sure enough, it's not "Brother Long", it's really another person - Zhang Tiankai. Chu Tianqi replied lightly: "In." ”

"Why don't you speak? As a junior, as a subordinate, you don't even understand this bit of politeness?" Zhang Tiankai had a reprimanding tone, but also a warning tone, and his voice changed, "Don't think that if you have a little dependence in your hands, you don't know the height of the sky." ”

"Don't dare, you're serious. The caller number is hidden, I don't know who it is, and what to call it? The number is hidden, yesterday you explained it first, and now it has changed your voice, even if I guess who you are, I don't know which name is more appropriate. Chu Tianqi's tone was not hurried, "You said that I don't know the height of the sky, forgive me for not daring to bear this comment, I don't think I'm so unbearable, I will do everything possible to personally report to your door, which shows that I am sincere enough." As for what you said, I agree with the phrase 'often rush to the market and don't meet your in-laws', and I also agree with another sentence 'feng shui rotates', when any matter has profits and losses, I am no exception, and most people may not be exempt from vulgarity. ”

There was a "sneer" sound from the mobile phone: "Sure enough, the teeth are sharp, if this can be durable to the right path, there will be no loss of talent, and there may be more achievements." ”

His words just now were indeed sarcastic and sarcastic, which did not match his identity as a young subordinate, but the other party, as a senior official of the deputy department, came up with a lesson and reprimand, and also lost the leniency of the elders and superiors. In fact, when he just finished speaking, he also felt that it was inappropriate, and he was going to stop here and get down to business immediately, but he never thought that the other party would continue to say derogatory words. He replied unceremoniously: "If anyone takes less advantage of his tongue and does more things that benefit the country and the people, it will be beneficial to the country and the individual, and his position may be higher." ”

The meaning of this passage is obvious, since you ridicule me for speaking harshly, and warn that it will affect my development. That's good, I'll treat others in the same way as others, and directly insinuate that the reason why you are only a deputy department is actually affected by speech damage.

Maybe he didn't expect a little doll to be so mean, or maybe he didn't expect the other party to react so smartly, Zhang Tiankai was obviously angry, and his tone was a lot more rushed: "Chu Tianqi, if you have this kind of attitude, I'm afraid it will be very unfavorable to you." ”

"Are you threatening me?" Chu Tianqi asked rhetorically.

"How can it be called a threat? Just wanted to remind you properly. Zhang Tiankai said, "Originally, I planned to let them decide on the handling first, but now I just notify you in advance, and then let you promise not to make a noise about those few things." But looking at your attitude now, I think you should change the rules, that is, you have to promise not to make a noise, and you have to make sure that your police friends will not be pursued. ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh": "It seems that you are preparing to break the contract." ”

"What did we agree? I just said to tell you to 'go back and wait for news,' and that's all, and now I haven't told you the news. Zhang Tiankai's voice seemed to have a sneer, but he couldn't hear clearly after changing his voice, "Let me remind you again, if you can't do this within a week, then I can't help you." ”

Chu Tianqi said sharply: "Governor Zhang, you can't do things like this, you don't stand without faith, you have to compare your heart with your heart." ”

"You see, you have broken the rules again, and you have even called your position. There was a strange laugh on the phone, "You deliberately called it that, not for the sake of recording, right?"

"Vice Governor Zhang, don't think that you have hidden your number, done a voice change, and let your subordinates settle some things, so you have nothing to fear. Let me tell you, people are doing it, the sky is watching, and some things are not hidden if you want to, but the more you hide, the more serious they become. Chu Tianqi raised his voice.

"Really?" said the other in a skeptical tone, "what could be so serious?"

"Vice Governor Zhang, you can be skeptical, but you don't regret it. Chu Tianqi warned in a deep voice, "I'm telling you, you immediately change your voice to normal now, I can talk to you about that, otherwise it won't expire." I count to three, one ...... 2. ......"

Without waiting for the word "three" to come out, a voice came from the mobile phone, and there was no voice change processing: "What's the matter?" ”

"Hey, why is it so difficult to compare hearts with hearts?" Chu Tianqi shouted and sighed, and pressed it on the button.

"Chu Tianqi, you won't be tricking me or deceiving me, right?" Zhang Tiankai's voice was very stern.

Chu Tianqi sneered: "Human life is a matter of heaven, will I deceive you?"

"Human life is at stake, is it too alarmist?" Zhang Tiankai's voice was both questioning and a hint of surprise.

"After you listen to it, you will know if I am alarmist. Chu Tianqi paused a little and said, "Last night, after the two of us broke up at the Phoenix Club, we ......."
