The next morning, the morning sun had just hung in the sky.

A dark and steady Mercedes-Benz S600 was bathed in the sun and slowly drove out of the Qin family's old house.

It is the rush hour of work, the countless dense traffic in the capital almost fills the main roads, Mercedes-Benz stops and stops in the traffic flow, according to this speed, even if the speed of the Qin family's old house is too far away from Zhongnanhai, but if you want to get there, I am afraid it will take an hour or two.

Qin Tianjiao, who was driving alone, looked as calm as water.

Under normal circumstances, with his current status, if he was summoned by Xue Zhiguo, even if he was not ecstatic or nervous, he would not be so contemptuous.

The time for the conversation was set at half past eight in the morning, there was no time limit, Qin Tianjiao arrived there an hour or two early, it was completely deserved, and this was also the proper courtesy between the country and the people.

But in fact, since yesterday afternoon, Qin Tianjiao has been accompanying Zi Rat in the hospital of the Imperial Palace, returning to the Qin family's old house at more than two o'clock in the morning, eating something casually and resting for a few hours, until half past seven in the morning, he left the Qin family's old house.

It's clear that you're going to be late.

Qin Zheng, who was sitting at a table with his grandson for breakfast, looked calm, since he had decided to let Qin Tianjiao have full authority to represent the position of the Qin family, then he would not point fingers at whether Qin Tianjiao's approach was in line with his own ideas.

And in this matter, he doesn't have any superfluous thoughts, standing in Qin Tianjiao's position, no matter what he does, it should be.

The speakers in the car played Charlie Clayderman's piano music, the festival was very soothing, the stereo effect was full, and Qin Dashao, who was dressed neatly and cleanly, was driving very slowly, admiring the city that he had been absent from for two years while driving.

The capital, where he could smell power and wealth in his breath, seemed to him nothing more than a model of power built on intrigue and bones.

Half past nine in the morning.

A full hour later than scheduled, Mercedes-Benz S600 finally appeared at the gate of Zhongnanhai.

A big Audi with the No. 1 license plate of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government looked over from the other direction, and after seeing Qin Tianjiao's vehicle, he subconsciously slowed down his speed.

Drivers at this level have long been contaminated with some habits of leaders, and it is rare to be idle and bored to fight with others to fight for a priority.

Qin Tianjiao was slightly stunned, let go of the car, lowered the window, honked the horn, and nodded slightly towards the back row of the A6L.

The window of the Audi A6L slowly fell, full of energy, with a ruddy complexion, and Li Donglei, who had a good rest last night, smiled and waved his hand, and drove into Zhongnanhai first.

Two cars entered the heavily guarded gate and drove to the office of the general secretary of the dignitary's office.

Qin Tianjiao knew it in his heart.

Today's purpose of Xue Zhiguo is obviously not as simple as communicating with the Qin family, and this conversation is nothing more than to deal with the main contradiction of this assassination.

The Wang family is the victim, and the Qin family is the main victim.

Summoned himself and Secretary Li this morning, and in the afternoon, the other party may have to start with the Xia family and the Chen family.

Individual breaks?

Qin Tianjiao sneered, followed behind the Audi A6L, parked the car at the office of the dignitaries, took the initiative to get out of the car, walked to Li Donglei's side, stretched out his hands to hold Li Donglei's hand, and shouted Secretary Li with a smile.

Li Donglei smiled indifferently, nodded slightly, glanced at Qin Tianjiao, did not explain or collude with anything, and said with a smile: "There is a standing committee this morning, delayed a little, let's go in, don't let the comrades who govern the country wait too long." ”

"Yes, I came out early, but there is a traffic jam on the road, and the traffic situation in the capital, especially in the morning, noon and evening, is faster than driving."

Qin Tianjiao also smiled unhurriedly, and casually found a reason.

Outside the door of the general secretary's office, a middle-aged man who saw Li Donglei and Qin Tianjiao arrive and immediately got up to greet him, his body froze in place, and his smile was a little embarrassed.

He is the temporary secretary of the general secretary, enjoying the treatment of the deputy minister, but it is definitely not a beautiful difference, his position is different from the 'Xue Office' that will be formed after the National People's Congress, and the Xue Office must be the general secretary's confidant secretary team, and he has not yet been elected, so he can only temporarily use a temporary secretary.

And the candidate for this secretary, out of various considerations, cannot have too deep a background, otherwise it will inevitably arouse Xue Zhiguo's disgust, usually a cadre at the deputy department level, and his treatment will be raised by one level, and he will be arranged to a department level post after the National People's Congress.

Of course, it is not excluded that he will become the confidant of the general secretary during his time as a temporary secretary, as long as fate comes, this step will still have a great chance of ascending to the sky.

This is a fat shortage in the eyes of countless people.

But in the eyes of middle-aged people, it is a bottomless maelstrom, some contradictions between several giants, can already be seen in his position, in his vision, Xue Zhiguo's situation is not wonderful, not too bad, the outcome is quite unpredictable, especially Wang Shao's wedding was almost assassinated, and now the capital is spreading the news of the death of the head of the Tang family and Lin Qingtian's serious injury, the original chaotic situation is becoming more and more chaotic, this is a standard fairy fight, Originally, he was determined to move closer to the southwest, and he suddenly didn't dare to act rashly.

"Secretary Li, hello."

The middle-aged secretary, who was no longer young, walked a few steps, came to Li Donglei, stretched out his hands, and smiled eagerly and respectfully.

This ranking is only after the general secretary, and Xue Zhiguo feels great pressure, no matter how his position as a temporary secretary changes, in front of Secretary Li, he does not dare to have the slightest arrogance.

"Hello, Secretary Hu, this is Qin Tianjiao, Comrade Zhiguo has made an appointment to talk to us, if he has nothing to do, please inform me."

Li Donglei smiled kindly.

Secretary Hu, who was busy shaking hands with Qin Tianjiao, suddenly stiffened, snorted, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Secretary Li, General Secretary... He's not here. ”

Li Donglei and Qin Tianjiao frowned at the same time.

Secretary Hu was taken aback, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Secretary Li, here's the thing, fifteen minutes ago, Secretary Liu Wenan accompanied the general secretary to visit Mayor Lin Qingtian in the political sanatorium, and the general secretary explained before leaving, if Secretary Li and Qin Gongzi come, let me inform you two, he hopes that the place of conversation can be changed." ”

As he spoke, Secretary Hu bit the word fifteen minutes ago very hard, which was obviously reminding Li Donglei and Qin Tianjiao that it was not that Xue Zhiguo was unpunctual, but that you were late.

Li Donglei chuckled.

They can deliberately come an hour late, Xue Zhiguo is also not a mud bodhisattva without temper, he has a posture that you don't want to come to the master and don't want to serve, and after waiting patiently for a while, he left directly.

Li Donglei didn't feel much annoyed, nodded slightly, glanced at Qin Tianjiao beside him, and said with a smile: "Qin Shao, do you want to take a trip?" By the way, take a look at Comrade Lin Qingtian's injuries? ”

"I didn't bring a knife today, so I won't go, right?"

Qin Tianjiao said lightly.

Secretary Hu, who was waiting to lead the way for the two, trembled and was instantly covered with cold sweat.

Didn't go without a knife?

Master, are you going to kill people or go to see people?

Secretary Hu sneered, his face was extremely embarrassed, Wang Shao and Qin Shao in the capital, few people don't know now, Qin Shao is still like this, I really don't know how Wang Shao should be rampant, could it be that the rumors that he stabbed Lin Qingtian and forced Tang Tianyao to death were all done by Wang Shao is true?

Secretary Hu quickly shook his head.

Some things, some characters, are not something that he can imagine at will, and it is too taboo.

Li Donglei shook his head with a smile, and didn't persuade anything, at least no matter how prominent Qin Tianjiao's identity is, in his eyes, he is still a junior, the peak power class, generation and power are inseparable, after all, there is only one Wang Fuxing, and there is only one who can fully represent the Wang family, but the Qin family is different, Qin Zheng, Qin Shaoyang are still alive, standing here today, naturally they want to be led by him.

"Let's take a look, I also happen to have something to talk about with the comrades who govern the country."

Li Donglei said gently, with a kind and warm smile.

Secretary Hu, who had been waiting for this sentence, breathed a sigh of relief, and took the lead in front of him, with a slightly hurried pace.

Li Donglei and Qin Tianjiao followed behind slowly.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was gradually narrowing, Secretary Hu had to slow down his pace to cooperate with the two big men in the back.

He already faintly felt it, not to mention whether some rumors in the capital were true or not, today's meeting was definitely a hot scene full of gunpowder!

Dignitary Sanatorium, outside Intensive Care Ward 13.

Liu Wen'an, Xue Zhiguo's life secretary, saw the three of them coming, immediately stood up, shook hands with Li Donglei and Qin Tianjiao cordially, pushed open the door of the ward, and said softly: "Secretary Li, the general secretary has explained, after the two of them came, they didn't need to report, just invite the two of them in." ”

Li Donglei's expression was indifferent, and he pushed the door in with Qin Tianjiao.

Lin Qingtian, the mayor of Southwest City, was dressed in a hospital gown, with a large blood transfusion bag hanging in front of the bed, his eyes closed tightly, and the whole person was still in a deep coma.

Xue Zhiguo stood in front of the hospital bed, turned around slightly after hearing the movement, glanced at Li Donglei, nodded, and said in a tone that was not eager or indifferent: "You are here." ”

Li Donglei smiled and nodded, glanced at Lin Qingtian, and asked politely, "How is Mayor Lin?" ”

"After rescue, he has been temporarily out of danger of life, but the specific condition can only be determined after he wakes up, and the injury this time is too serious."

The more Xue Zhiguo spoke, the colder his tone became, and finally he couldn't help it, and said angrily: "It's too much!" Wang Fuxing is just nonsense! Lawless, without a country, he dares to move anyone, how bold is he? How confident does he have to kill a Politburo member? Such dangerous elements must be severely punished! Punish someone as a warning to others! ”

His voice was full of emotion, but his eyes did not look at Li Donglei, but at Qin Tianjiao.

Obviously, the matter of the southwest and the east mountain has reached his ears.

"He's not dead?"

Qin Tianjiao asked calmly, his face did not change at all.

Xue Zhiguo nodded slightly and said, "This is a blessing in misfortune!" ”

"That's good."

Qin Tianjiao smiled.

Good?

Xue Zhiguo and Li Donglei looked at him together with puzzled eyes.

"yes."

Qin Tianjiao nodded seriously, squinted his eyes and smiled: "If he dies, it's too cheap for him." ”
