Ma Qiang died, in a Las Vegas hotel. It is said that he lost too much money in the casino and was shot and killed by a debt collector.

Cai Gen told Liang Jian this, and when he heard it at first glance, Liang Jian didn't feel anything except shock and sympathy in his heart. But later, I felt that something was wrong.

From Ma Qiang's departure abroad to his death now, this is like a TV series rehearsed in advance. As soon as Ma Qiang 'died', the bad things in the Dongcheng Power Station could be pushed onto Ma Qiang, and Dong Bin was immediately wiped out. Looking back, and then coming to the government to complain about grievances, maybe you can get some sympathy points again, which is really a double win.

These thoughts only swirled in Liang Jian's heart, and he didn't say them. Cai Gen's attitude is still unclear, and even biased towards Dong Bin. When he told Liang Jian about Ma Qiang, he seemed to be reminding Liang Jian that Ma Qiang was dead, and the matter in Dongcheng was like that, so don't care about it.

Liang Jian was disappointed, but he couldn't help it.

came out of Cai Gen's office, and happened to run into Qu Wei who came up to find Cai Gen. Qu Wei saw him, stopped, and asked, "Have you talked to the other party about the world?"

"I mentioned it, but the other party hasn't given a reply yet. Liang Jian replied.

Qu Wei glanced at him with a strange look and said, "Hold on." ”

Liang Jian nodded.

After returning to the office, Liang Jian was worried that he would forget it again when he turned around, so he hurriedly called Hu Xiaoying. It's just that as soon as the phone called, I couldn't help but feel those complicated emotions in my heart.

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up, but it was a man's voice.

"Who are you?" asked Liang Jian.

"Director Hu, it's inconvenient for her now, what's the matter with you?" the other party's voice was cold.

Liang Jian felt like a punch in the air, uncomfortable but unable to vent, so he had to hang up the phone. Putting down the phone, he sat in his chair in a daze. That voice is not unfamiliar, Liang Jian knows that he is the director.

He can answer Hu Xiaoying's call, it seems that what Hu Xiaoying said that day is not fake. The two should be together.

It's just that it's not the same as being with him back then. At that time, even if Liang Jian was not married, they were always sneaky together, and they had always been sneaky for so many years, and they had never appeared in the sun.

But he's different.

Liang Jian felt that he was jealous, eating the vinegar of Director Yu, who could see the sunshine. No matter how jealous he is, Liang Jian also understands that time cannot be turned back after all, and between him and Hu Xiaoying, it can only be in the past.

Liang Jian told himself in his heart that as long as she was really happy, it didn't matter who gave her happiness.

However, no one is really that generous. For the things you like, you want to have them. It's just that sometimes, I have to retreat.

More than half an hour later, Hu Xiaoying called back.

Hu Xiaoying didn't explain why Director Yu answered the call, and Liang Jian didn't ask.

After an embarrassing greeting, Liang Jian immediately made his purpose clear. After hearing this, Hu Xiaoying replied without hesitation: "Liang Jian, it's not that I don't give you face." The world will not let these three. ”

Liang Jian frowned, he didn't expect Hu Xiaoying's attitude to be so tough. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Not a single step?"

"Not a single step. Hu Xiaoying replied.

Liang Jian was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Okay, I know." That's it first, you're busy. ”

"Good. After Hu Xiaoying finished speaking, she hung up the phone. The speed was so fast that Liang Jian didn't even react. He listened to the beeping voice on the other end of the phone, and was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.

If you don't let such an answer take a step, you can't go to Cai Gen to get a deal. If the other party was an ordinary person, Liang Jian would not be worried about this matter, he could always grind it down, but the other party was Hu Xiaoying, and in front of her, Liang Jian always couldn't deal with this matter calmly.

Liang Jian also thought about the idea of leaving this matter to someone else to deal with, but as soon as this idea came out, Liang Jian vetoed it himself. Hu Xiaoying is now in Beijing, so there will only be more contact between the two in the future, and Liang Jian can't hide every time. If he can hide from the first year of junior high school, he can't hide from fifteen, unless he leaves here, but this is impossible.

Since, you can't hide, then you can only go head-on. She always has to face it.

Liang Jian decided when to see her again.

On the way home, Liang Jian was thinking about whether to confess this matter to Xiang Jin. After thinking about it all the way, I still think it's better not to mention it. Hu Xiaoying has been between the two of them for many years, no matter how reasonable Xiang Jin is, a woman is always a woman. Now that the two of them are living well, why bother with themselves.

After two days of not being at home, the two little babies at home were very happy to see him. And Xiang Jin, who is also a newlywed Xiaobiesheng, is in a particularly good mood. Looking at her smiling appearance, the embarrassed and tired heart suddenly relaxed.

In fact, he should have let go a long time ago.

After a warm night, I woke up the next day and watched the morning sun shine through the white curtains on the dark wood floor of the room.

Turning his head, Xiang Jin was still asleep, and under his long eyelashes, he was sleeping peacefully.

The empty place in Liang Jian's heart was suddenly not so empty. He bowed his head slightly, touching her forehead. The corners of her mouth curved a shallow arc, her hands wrapped around his neck, and she opened her eyes with a hint of coquettishness, hooking his heart.

On the way to work, Liang Jian sent a text message to Hu Xiaoying: "Do you have time in the evening? ”

After arriving at the unit, Liang Jian received a reply from Hu Xiaoying: "How about tomorrow night?"

"Yes. ”

When he arrived at the unit, Qu Wei came to inquire about the progress of the matter again. Liang Jian replied to him and made an appointment with Hu Xiaoying to meet tomorrow night to talk. Qu Wei didn't say anything.

After eating at noon, Liang Jian had just come back from eating and was about to go to bed, when suddenly his mobile phone rang. Take a look at it, it's an unfamiliar number, and it's not from Beijing.

Liang Jian waited for it to ring five or six times before picking it up.

"Who are you looking for?" asked Liang Jian.

The other party was silent at first, Liang Jian waited for a few seconds without hearing an answer, frowned, and prepared to hang up the phone. Just about to hang up, the other party finally spoke. A non-standard Mandarin with a local accent: "Hello, hello, we've met, outside that garbage incineration station, collect the bills, do you remember?"

Liang Jian frowned, trying to search in his mind for who this was.

"You also gave me two packs of Chinese cigarettes, and you also said that if there is any situation at that time, let me call you to inform you!" Seeing that Liang Jian didn't seem to remember, the other party hurriedly reminded him.

When Liang Jian heard the two packs of Chinese cigarettes, his mind suddenly lit up, and he remembered it, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, it's you!

The uncle said: "The construction site is not open, but I heard that the manager of the construction site before is back!"

When Liang Jian heard this, he was shocked, Cai Gen only told him yesterday that Ma Qiang was dead, why did he come back today! Even if this is an act for others to see, is this scene a little too fast? At the very least, it should be waiting for this limelight to pass!

Liang Jian felt that the uncle's news might not be accurate, but the uncle was kind, and Liang Jian couldn't hit him, so he followed his words and asked, "Do you know where the people are?"

"Yes! A country man in Tongzhou is hiding!" replied the uncle.

Tongzhou again. When it comes to Tongzhou, Liang Jian thinks of Hu Xiaoying, and he can't help but be distracted. Seeing that he was silent, the uncle asked, "Don't you know where Tongzhou is?"

"Know!" Liang Jian came back to his senses and replied immediately.

"That's good. I'll give you the address, would you like to write it down?" the uncle asked.

Liang Jian hurriedly said yes, took a pen and paper, and wrote down the address reported by the uncle. After remembering the address, Liang Jian asked the uncle: "How is the salary?"

The uncle sighed and said, "Don't mention it! Our foreman is gone, now it's okay, this account will definitely not come back!"

Liang Jian didn't know how to persuade them, for these people, twenty or thirty thousand yuan may be the annual expenses of a family of three or four people. Without this money, how can he shrink his clothes and diet to save it! But this is the case, Liang Jian can't help it for a while, and he can't give his uncle a blind guarantee, so he has to sigh and stop asking.

After hanging up the phone, Liang Jian looked at the address on the paper, and his mood was slightly heavy. The address is a very remote corner at first glance, Liang Jian just felt that the uncle's news might be inaccurate, but looking at this address, he felt that it was very possible. Liang Jian thought about it and felt that he should go to Tongzhou and meet Hu Xiaoying by the way.

It's just that Ma Qiang, does he go by himself? Or do you let others explore the truth and reality?

Liang Jian thought about this for a long time. If he went in person, then the fact that he was investigating this matter would definitely not be hidden, and then he would have to face not only Dong Bin, but also Cai Gen.

But if he doesn't go, just let people go over to explore the truth and reality, then it still doesn't help the essence of this matter. At present, Ma Qiang is the key to this matter in Dongcheng, and he must have some secrets about the Dongcheng garbage station project in his mouth, if Liang Jian can know these secrets, then the matter of the Dongcheng garbage station can also be settled innocently.

It's just that Liang Jian still remembers Minister Xiang's reminder that Dong Bin is not easy to mess with. Is it appropriate or inappropriate to provoke him now? Liang Jian thought of this, and couldn't help but think of the sigh of his uncle before.

I suddenly felt a little guilty in my heart, these people worked hard for months, but in the end they couldn't get a penny. If no one does anything, then these are the people who pay for it in the end.

Who will sympathize with their innocence?

Liang Jian knew that the most rational thing to do was not to move first. But if things drag on for a long time, it is very likely that it will not be over. Liang Jian asked himself what his original intention was.

He doesn't know these things, or if he does, he has to pretend that he doesn't know, but he still can't do it.

Liang Jian decided to go to see Ma Qiang. But, it is not safe to go alone. Liang Jian called Xiao Wu, but he still couldn't get through. It is estimated that he has not returned to Beijing yet. Liang Jian had no choice but to call Tang Yi again. As soon as Tang heard that he wanted to borrow someone, he agreed without saying a word.

The next day, the people sent by Tang Yi waited outside the community early. It's the last time I sent information for Xiao Wu.

Liang Jian made a phone call to Qu Wei and said that he was going to Tongzhou to talk about global affairs. Qu Wei didn't doubt it. Because I went out early, the road was not very congested, and after the car arrived in Tongzhou, I went straight to the address given by the uncle.

It's just that after driving to Wuxi Village, Qingliang Town, Tongzhou District, the road became smaller, and the car couldn't drive. Wuxi Village is at least seventeen or eighteen kilometers away from Xianmen Village as mentioned by the uncle. If you have to walk on two feet, it is estimated that it will take half a day. Xiao Gu, who was sent by Tang Yi, went around Wuxi Village, spent two hundred yuan to rent a motorcycle, and drove Liang Jian to continue to Xianmen Village.
