Secretary Lu saw that after Ye Ming made those four requests, his expression suddenly changed, and he called himself "Dad" in shock, and couldn't help but be surprised, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears. After a short period of astonishment, he looked at Ye Ming with round eyes and tears, and asked in a trembling voice, "Ye Ming, what did you just call me?" ”

Ye Ming's body couldn't stop shaking, he looked at Secretary Lu with tears on his face, and asked with sobs, "You are my father, right?" You've known I'm your son, haven't you? ”

Secretary Lu heard Ye Ming ask these two questions bluntly, guessing that he had seen something from some channels or some information, but he couldn't deny it, so he had to lean back in a daze, staring at Ye Ming with his eyes straight for a long time, before he asked in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Ye Ming, why did you suddenly ask this question?" Why did you suddenly have this idea? ”

Ye Ming didn't answer him directly, but turned around, took out his mother's notebook from the briefcase he was carrying, as well as the two letters written by his mother to his father, put them on the desk, and then reached out to Secretary Lu and pushed it, saying, "This is my mother's relic." On her deathbed, my mother put everything she thought was related to my father in a camphor box and locked it. At the same time, she also warned me that the contents of this box were all reserved for my father. Until I find my father, I was never allowed to open the box to see the relics inside. But, just last night, I opened the box and saw the contents as well. Look at it now, these things are left to you by my mother! ”

When he said this, Ye Ming's tears couldn't stop flowing out again, and his voice choked again.

When Secretary Lu heard that Zhao Han had left a relic for himself, his eyes widened again, and he couldn't care about hiding anything in front of Ye Ming, so he grabbed the diary and the two letters on the table in his hand, and first looked at the words on the envelope. When he saw the familiar and cordial words "Lu Zhiyao (Yuan) Qinqi", Secretary Lu's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears filled his eyes in an instant.

He didn't rush to read the two letters, but put the letters aside, and then opened the diary with a trembling hand, when he saw the photo of himself and Zhao Han on the title page and the words "eternal love" inscribed by Zhao Han below, Secretary Lu couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly put the diary tightly on his forehead, his body shook violently, and big tears rolled down his cheeks......

Ye Ming didn't expect that after more than 20 years, when Secretary Lu saw his mother's relics, he would still be so excited and hurt, and even cried bitterly in front of his junior regardless of the majesty and identity of the secretary of the provincial party committee. Looking at his painful expression and demeanor now, it is obvious that he has always pretended to be his mother in his heart, and he has always felt guilty and regretful for his mother. Moreover, he should also be a very emotional person, he has not come to them and his mother for so many years, and there must be his unspeakable secrets. Or, as my mother has said to herself many times: the path she has chosen for so many years is a decision she made on her own, and it has nothing to do with her father at all......

After covering his face with his diary and silently shedding tears for a while, Secretary Lu took the diary away from his face, took a handful of paper from the tissue box, wiped the tears on his face, and then looked up at Ye Ming, and said in a deep voice: "Child, thank you for bringing me such a precious thing." Now that you know the truth of the matter, with your cleverness, you should know the purpose of my conversation with you today: I want to protect you and don't want you to be implicated and hurt in the slightest because of the Jinqiao Group and She Chuming. You are the only blood and blood of me and your mother, and the only hope and sustenance for your mother's life of hard work. If something happens to you, how can I be worthy of your mother under the Nine Springs? Think for yourself! ”

Of course, Ye Ming knew his father's intentions, and he also understood his good intentions to keep himself away from danger and disputes. However, the matter of Jinqiao Group is related to Chen Mengqi's happiness and future, and even to her life and death. If he had listened to his father's advice at this time and characterized Jinqiao Group's private financing behavior as illegal fundraising in accordance with his father's instructions, then Chen Yuanqiao would have been arrested. Chen Mengqi herself may even be arrested in the detention center, because she is also the general manager of Jinqiao Group.

Therefore, in this matter, he must not promise his father, and he must not let Chen Yuanqiao and Qiqi go to prison.

So, he said to Secretary Lu with tears: "Dad, if you still want to recognize my son, then, please raise your noble hand in the matter of Jinqiao Group, let Chen Yuanqiao and Qiqi go, at least don't give them the last blow at such a critical moment." The Golden Bridge Group is now in a precarious situation, and I am now doing my best to save it and prevent the company from collapsing in an instant.

"You also know why I want to do this: this is not some kind of righteousness, nor is it some willful impulse. Everything I do for Jinqiao Group is for Kiki. And Kiki, you know her, you know her, and you know my relationship with her. She has always been very good to me, and she has always relied on me, trusted me, and always regarded me as her backer and backbone. Although I didn't find her as a girlfriend in the end, in my heart, she is my relative, my own sister, even closer than my own sister. If something goes wrong with her, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life, regret it for the rest of my life, and I will be sad for the rest of my life!

"You may not know it: Kiki has a very severe depression, her body is very weak, and her mental ability is also very poor. Therefore, once the Jinqiao Group collapses, once her father Chen Yuanqiao has an accident, I estimate that she will either die of depression or commit suicide. Therefore, the decision you just made is likely to cost the lives of two or more people at the same time.

"I can also tell you clearly: if something happens to Qiqi, if she has an accident because of the collapse of the Jinqiao Group, then I will not stay in Tianjiang anymore, and I will no longer be mixed in this complicated officialdom. I would choose to go to the capital or a quiet place, find a job casually, and live the life I like quietly. ”

When Secretary Lu heard Ye Ming actually say such a thing, he was anxious and distressed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
