Chen Xing looked at the text message, and then raised his hand to look at the time, it was about a quarter past eight, and it was still early until ten o'clock, so he didn't need to rush over.

"Mayor, what's wrong?" Lu Ming saw that Chen Xing's expression was different, and he couldn't help asking.

Chen Xing handed the mobile phone to Lu Ming, to Lu Ming, Chen Xing undoubtedly had nothing to hide, after all, this was a confidant who had been following him since Ximen County.

Lu Ming took a look, and after seeing that it was an unfamiliar number with no name marked, he couldn't help frowning, "Mayor, you want to go to the appointment?" ”

"This person knows my number, I think it should be someone who knows me or I've met before, so why not meet me." Chen Xing smiled, "Is it possible that someone dares to kidnap me, the mayor, and besides, the Wangyuan Teahouse is in the urban area, and it is not a remote place." ”

"Mayor, although the possibility is very small, but there is always a case in everything, your status is noble, but there is no accident, otherwise, I will take two people and go with you." Lu Ming said solemnly, out of consideration for Chen Xing's safety, he obviously had to build it like this.

"There's no need." Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand.

"Mayor, if you don't let me go with me, then I don't worry about you going alone, so I have to dissuade you from going." Lu Ming's expression was solemn, "Whether the person who sent this text message is known to you or not, but such a hidden head and tail may not be good-hearted." ”

"Not necessarily." Chen Xing didn't think so, but thought that even if he didn't let Lu Ming pass, Lu Ming would secretly follow, so he simply said, "In this case, you can take someone to another car and follow me quietly, by the way, don't take a police car." ”

"Mayor, don't worry, how can I take a police car, the goal is too obvious." Lu Ming said with a smile.

The two were talking in the car, outside, the onlookers in the café were gradually dispersed by the police, and the police officers who investigated at the scene were all brought over by Lu Ming, among whom Lu Ming's henchmen were responsible for leading the team, Lu Ming was also very relieved that the other party was doing things, thinking about his situation in the bureau, Lu Ming couldn't help but secretly glanced at Chen Xing, and said, "Mayor Chen, that Liao Donghua is becoming more and more domineering in the bureau now, and this executive deputy director is about to become an ornament." ”

"Liao Donghua has support from the province, so naturally his waist is relatively hard, but as far as his behavior is concerned, I am not optimistic about him, you see, he may not be able to continue to publicize." Chen Xing smiled and patted Lu Ming's shoulder, "It can only be hard for you, I believe that Liao Donghua has achieved the current Cheng Dù, and he doesn't dare to go too far, he has to take care of my face to some extent, so your current situation can't be worse." ”

"I know, I just feel aggrieved, if I hadn't remembered what Mayor Chen said earlier, I couldn't help but pick on it." Lu Ming said with a smile.

"What?" Chen Xing was stunned.

"He is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river." Lu Ming laughed.

When Chen Xing heard this, he also laughed, this is what he said when he was joking, a mantra in Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels, Chen Xing was also a martial arts fan when he was young, and he read all the books of this martial arts novel master one by one, and still remember such a sentence, when he used to joke, he often liked to joke.

On the second floor of the building across the street where Chen Xing's car was parked, at this moment, two men were squeezing in front of the window and looking downstairs. Chen Dafei is holding a high-powered SLR camera in his hand, the place opposite the house where they are is actually He Li's café, Chen Dafei is holding the camera, ready to take pictures at any time, but he has not moved, his eyes fall on a car a few meters away from the café from time to time, it is Chen Xing's car, after Lu Ming ran into the car, Chen Dafei noticed the car.

"Chen Xing must be in that car, otherwise Lu Ming wouldn't have passed." Chen Dafei turned his head to Deng Wenhua and said.

"Even if you know that he has a fart in that car, and people don't come down, let's take a fart, Xiaofei, I said that your method doesn't seem to be very good, even if Chen Xingzhen comes down, you take a few photos of him standing with the woman surnamed He and the surname Chu, what does this mean? It didn't work much. Deng Wenhua pouted.

"Brother Deng, what are you anxious about, who said that there is no harvest for this matter tonight? Chen Xing came over, which proves that he must have a relationship with the woman surnamed He, otherwise the café was smashed, and a mayor of his house came over to fart? Chen Dafei grinned, "Even if there is no other harvest, just confirming this, it is already a harvest, everything has to be done step by step, step by step, if you are in a hurry, you have to bring down Chen Xing, how can it be so easy, now that it has been confirmed that he has a relationship with this woman, we will have the direction of investigation in the future." ”

"What if people are just friends?" Deng Wenhua rolled his eyes, he was pulled over by Chen Dafei to do this kind of at night, which affected his fun, Deng Wenhua was obviously a little listless.

"If it's just a friend, I don't believe Chen Xing will come over so quickly, we are all men, put yourself in your shoes, if it were you, one of your female friends' shop would be smashed, would you be in such a hurry to come over?" Chen Dafei glanced at Deng Wenhua with a smile.

"If it's just an ordinary female friend, I don't have much interest in her, then I'm too lazy to come, if I'm interested, then it's another matter, but if the other party is already my woman, then I must also come." Deng Wenhua pondered and said, said, and looked at Chen Dafei, "Tsk, according to what you say, that's right." ”

"Nonsense, I've been investigating Chen Xing's whereabouts privately for a while, and tonight's drama is just to confirm it again." Chen Dafei smiled proudly.

"Since you've been investigating him for a while, you haven't figured it out yet?" Deng Wenhua didn't have a good airway.

"It's not that I can't figure it out, it's that Chen Xing is in this café every time he comes over, and after he arrives, he goes directly upstairs to the private place, and my people can't follow up, but last time Chen Xing stayed in the café and didn't come out until dawn, so I suspected that he had a special relationship with this woman surnamed He, I understood, the third floor of the café is the woman's residence, and no one is allowed to go up, Chen Xing should go to the third floor every time." Chen Dafei said with a smile.

"Hey, you said so much, but you didn't get any substantive evidence, so it's useless." Deng Wenhua yawned, "Xiaofei, I think you should not fix this matter, Chen Xing is not so easy to deal with, even if you get the evidence and want to bring down others, you may also toss yourself into it, and people's backs are hard." ”

"Brother Deng, what you said also makes sense, but I'm also prepared, let's get the evidence, and we don't necessarily have to bring him down, but when we really need it in the future, then don't panic, besides, I'm not also thinking about you, think about it, your father is now the secretary of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee, and Chen Xing has to fight openly and secretly, maybe your father needs it, let's do this well in secret, and your father's praise may not be necessary." Chen Dafei glanced at Deng Wenhua and said with a smile.

"That's exactly what you said." Deng Wenhua was thoughtful.

Chen Dafei smiled again, looking at Deng Wenhua's eyes flashed with a fine light, he, a gentleman, was forced by Chen Xing to start playing tricks and tricks, this is not the first time, their Chen family is getting worse and worse now.

Downstairs, the police were still busy in the café, calling up the monitoring route and asking the staff of the café, He Li, the boss, after a short period of making a record, there was nothing to do, after standing for a while, He Li knew that after Chen Xing came over, the car stopped not far away, and finally came to Chen Xing's car in a huff, Lu Ming had already gotten out of the car at this time, He Li and Chu Rong got into the car successively, He Li complained very aggrievedly as soon as he got in the car, "Chen Xing, you have no conscience, you don't care about it when you come, just know how to sit in the car." ”

"It's not appropriate for me to go down." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, Miss He, you don't have to be angry, it's okay if people are fine, the store has been smashed, just spend some money to redecorate it." ”

He Li glanced at Chen Xing helplessly, knowing that Chen Xing was indeed inconvenient, and she didn't really complain, but women like to complain after all, but seeing Chen Xing come over so quickly, her anger has also disappeared a lot, "I don't know if I have been too old recently, why everything is not going well, I was cheated of money last time, this time I was smashed for no reason, Chen Xing, and Sister Rong, you say that I am down, everything has been touched by me." ”

"He Li, think about it carefully, you really haven't offended anyone recently?" Chen Xing frowned.

"No, the police asked me just now, I've thought about it several times, and I haven't offended anyone at all, I usually do maintenance with some idle and panicked ladies, play mahjong, who can offend." He Li shook her head and said with certainty.

"That's weird." Chen Xing also smiled bitterly, "This is a brainless thing, so I can only let the police investigate." ”

A few people were talking in the car, but they didn't notice that Chen Dafei upstairs was holding the camera excitedly and kept pressing, especially the moment He Li and Chu Rong opened the car door to get into the car, the camera was captured by Chen Dafei.

"Brother Deng, I see, those two women are in the car." Chen Dafei said happily.

"Get on it, just get on, as soon as the door closes, you can't even shoot a fart, what's so happy." Deng Wenhua didn't feel excited at all.

"Hey, it's better than nothing, don't rush, take your time, anyway, it doesn't take much effort to take pictures, take a few more photos, and worry about not being able to pay for film." Chen Dafei was in a very good mood and joking.

Deng Wenhua listened to Chen Dafei's words, yawned again, stretched his waist, and said, "Xiaofei, in fact, I think you really want to give your uncle a vent, then you should go to Ge Jianming, Zeng Gaoqiang was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, without Ge Jianming's nod, do you say that the people below dare to handle the case, I heard that Ge Jianming's son has a lot of business secretly in Nanzhou City, and his hands and feet are definitely not clean, you might as well follow him." ”

"It's not so easy to check Ge Jianming's son, and even if my uncle's matter is Ge Jianming's nod and asks for it, it's Chen Xing's ghost, so I'll just look for Chen Xing to take revenge." Chen Dafei's expression was calm, "Since he went to Nanzhou, Lao Tzu was imprisoned in the Public Security Bureau twice, although they were only public security detention, but Lao Tzu couldn't swallow this breath, my old man was the former secretary, he didn't give any face, and now my uncle has also gone in, you said I don't look for him to find anyone." ”

"It's true, if you don't say that I forgot, I was also invited to the Public Security Bureau once, and we both really planted in the hands of this surnamed Chen." Deng Wenhua gritted his teeth, and the two quickly found a place to resonate.

Seeing that it was so easy for Chen Dafei to provoke Deng Wenhua's anger, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but his face was silent.

Time passed quickly, Chen Xing sat in the car and chatted with He Li for a while, and then looked at the time, it was already past nine o'clock, thinking that he would have to go to the appointment later, Chen Xing said, "Wait a minute, I have something to do and go first." ”

"Chen Xing, won't you stay at night? I might as well comfort my wounded heart. He Li looked pitiful.

"I didn't see the hurt heart at all." Chen Xing said with a smile, "Wait a minute, there is indeed something serious, you and Chu Rong will go back first, fortunately, it is only the storefront on the first and second floors that has been smashed here, and your residence on the third floor has not suffered, so you will not have no place to sleep at night." ”

"It's not easy to find a place to sleep, there are many hotels next to it, and Sister Rong and I have bought a house, but we are usually too lazy to live." He Li pursed her lips.

"You can buy wherever you go, there are so many houses, you can live in them." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.

"If you buy a house and invest, you can put the money away." He Li said with a smile.

"Okay, I won't tell you more, let's get down to business first." Chen Xing looked at the time, obviously a little curious about the person who asked him, and also wanted to go and see it in advance, if he was not mistaken, the other party should have arrived early.

"Chen Xing, if you want to be busy with business, you should hurry up first, don't delay the time." Chu Rong said thoughtfully.

"Where did you get down to business so late, maybe I'm going to date a young girl, Sister Rong, we're both old." He Li chuckled.

"He Li, I think you owe it to yourself." Chen Xing glanced at He Li.

"Welcome to clean up." He Li raised her eyebrows and glanced at Chen Xing provocatively, her expression was extremely coquettish.

Chen Xing smiled helplessly, arguing with He Li, it was boring to find herself, this woman likes to provoke with her mouth.

Let Chu Rong and He Li get out of the car first, Chen Xing drove straight to Wangyuan Teahouse, that place, he had the impression that the car drove a distance, Chen Xing looked in the rearview mirror, and found that a car was slowly following behind, Chen Xing had a spectrum in his heart, it was the car that Lu Ming led people to drive.

Wangyuan Tea House is located in Cangyuan Road, Nanming District, is also one of the prosperous areas of the city, Chen Xing drove for more than ten minutes, and after a short time, he came to the outside of the teahouse.

At this time, it was not yet ten o'clock, but Chen Xing saw that there was no car outside the teahouse, so he parked the car, and there was a sign hanging by the door that was temporarily closed, but the door was open, Chen Xing walked straight in, and a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting at the cashier at the door saw Chen Xing come in, and immediately stood up, "Mayor Chen." ”

"Huh?" Chen Xing looked at the other party suspiciously.

"Mayor Chen, please come with me." The middle-aged beauty smiled.

Chen Xing didn't move, just looked at the other party, "Are you looking for me?" ”

"Mayor Chen misunderstood, it's not me looking for you, I'm just in charge of looking at the wind." The middle-aged beauty smiled, "Mayor Chen, don't worry, but no one dares to harm you." ”

The middle-aged beautiful woman said, took a step and walked inside, Chen Xing frowned slightly, but still followed in, everyone came, he would not be frightened at this time.

Walking in from the side aisle, there was a small room inside, and the middle-aged beautiful woman gently pushed the door open, stood by the door, and made a gesture to Chen Xing to invite in.

Chen Xing raised his feet and walked in, and when he saw the people inside, his expression was slightly stunned, could it be Geng Jiansheng?

"Mayor Chen, are you surprised?" Geng Jiansheng had already stood up, saw Chen Xing's expression, and said with a smile.

"It's a bit of a surprise, I didn't expect it to be you who asked me out." Chen Xing suddenly felt in his heart, no wonder the other party knew his number.

"Since Mayor Chen is here, can you please take a seat?" Geng Jiansheng invited.

"As you said, it's all here, so why sit down." Chen Xing's expression was indifferent, he walked in and sat down, and sat face to face with Geng Jiansheng, Geng Jiansheng, who was no longer the secretary of the district party committee, now seemed to be a little less energetic and a little more old-fashioned.

Chen Xing knew that Geng Jiansheng couldn't come to the teahouse to invite himself to tea, this teahouse, at a glance, knew that he had a special relationship with Geng Jiansheng, Chen Xing didn't want to think about that, just looked at Geng Jiansheng, "I don't think you should have the leisure to invite me to tea." ”

"Mayor Chen is right, I don't have the leisure to invite you to tea." Geng Jiansheng nodded very sincerely, "Mayor Chen, what you said is so direct, then I will get straight to the point, I invited Mayor Chen to come over because I want to make a deal with you." ”

"Deal?" Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, stared at Geng Jiansheng, thought of Geng Jiansheng's son who would be sentenced for a traffic accident, and subconsciously asked, "Is it for your son's business?" ”

"No, the son who is not successful, let him be sentenced to a few years, and it is not a bad thing to suffer a little." Geng Jiansheng shook his head slightly, he wasn't too worried about his son, the only thing he was worried about before was that he would be implicated and lose the black yarn hat, and now that the black yarn hat has been lost, what else is there to worry about? Even if his son is sentenced, he will not have the ability to let his son come out early in the future, so he obviously won't ask Chen Xing out mysteriously if he wants his son to learn a lesson.

"And what are you for?" Chen Xing also aroused some curiosity.

"What does Mayor Chen think of Deng Yi?" Geng Jiansheng said suddenly, his eyes staring at Chen Xing tightly.

"I didn't see it much." Chen Xing's expression was indifferent.

"Yes." Geng Jiansheng smiled playfully, he didn't believe Chen Xing's words, the most perfunctory answer was the most dishonest answer, but the relationship between Chen Xing and Deng Yi could not be any better, and even the contradiction was big, this is what Geng Jiansheng understood, without finding out the situation in advance, Geng Jiansheng could not recklessly find Chen Xing over.

"In the past, when Deng Yi was still the secretary general of the provincial party committee, Mayor Chen, you seem to have asked the people from the Public Security Bureau to arrest Deng Yi's son Deng Wenhua?" Geng Jiansheng said with a smile.

"You seem to know very well." Chen Xing's eyes froze, staring at Geng Jiansheng.

"It's not that I know it very well, and it's not a secret." Geng Jiansheng smiled, "I came to Mayor Chen to come over because I wanted to have an open and honest conversation with Mayor Chen, and I also hope that Mayor Chen can tell the truth." ”

"If you still talk nonsense like you do now, I think I can go, and I'm not interested in your so-called deal." Chen Xing smiled coldly, he didn't like the initiative to be held in his hands, Geng Jiansheng tried to dominate the right to speak step by step, controlling the rhythm of the conversation, Chen Xing undoubtedly didn't like it very much, and he wouldn't let the other party take the initiative.

"Mayor Chen, don't worry." Geng Jiansheng saw that Chen Xing was about to leave, and he was really a little nervous, so he hurriedly brought a prepared document to the table, "Mayor Chen, take a look at this first." ”

"What is this?" Chen Xing glanced at Geng Jiansheng.

"Mayor Chen, just look at it." Geng Jiansheng smiled mysteriously.

Chen Xing stretched out his hand to take the information, opened the bag, took it out and looked at it carefully, a trace of surprise flashed in Chen Xing's eyes, his face was impassive, and he glanced at Geng Jiansheng, "Why are you showing me this?" ”

"Deng Yi's son Deng Wenhua opened the Blue River Club, I think Mayor Chen should know that the floors under Deng Wenhua's club, but he took it by abnormal means, and the owner of the family secretly wanted to sue him everywhere, and I happened to know about it at the beginning, so I solved it secretly." Geng Jiansheng said with a smile.

"You solved it secretly, and by the way, you made a copy of Deng Wenhua's black materials, you are 'kind', if you let Deng Yi know, be careful that he directly tramples you so that you can never turn over." Chen Xing sneered.

"The problem is that he can't possibly know, doesn't he? Mayor Chen, will you sue him? Geng Jiansheng smiled confidently.

"I'm not going to be too quick to tell him, but it doesn't seem useful for you to show me this, I really don't understand what you want to do." Chen Xing smiled, at this time, you have to pretend to be stupid, you have to pretend to be stupid, you can't let the other party see your thoughts, the two sides of the negotiation, one party's hole cards are known by the other party first, and they are undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

"I think it's useful to Mayor Chen, Mayor Chen, you and Deng Yi are at odds, and sooner or later there will be a day when you can't tolerate each other." Geng Jiansheng squinted his eyes and said.

"You're so confident? It's a shame that you are also a person who has been in the officialdom for so many years, don't you know that there are no eternal enemies in this officialdom, only eternal interests, how do you know that it is impossible for me and Deng Yi to turn enemies into friends in the future? Chen Xing said indifferently.

Geng Jiansheng was a little stunned, looking at Chen Xing's eyes flickering, it was obvious that he who had asked for Chen Xing was now at a disadvantage, and the most important thing was that Chen Xing's last sentence made him a little afraid.

Geng Jiansheng was silent, Chen Xing also smiled indifferently, he was waiting for Geng Jiansheng to come up with more things, but he would not take the initiative to speak, as soon as he spoke, his true will would be exposed.
