The two walked around the island for a while, slipped to the beach, walked on the soft and delicate sand, looked at the bright city lights on the other side, and were silent for a while.

After a while, Zhang Lin suddenly said, "Strange." ”

"What's weird?" Qiao Liang glanced at Zhang Lin.

"I think Minister Chu is strange." Zhang Lin remembered what Ye Xinyi told her at this time.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Minister Chu has always been calm and steady when encountering things, but this time I don't know what happened at home, which will make him so unbreathable." Zhang Lin had a thoughtful expression.

"Sister Lin, why did you suddenly remember this?" Qiao Liang smiled secretly.

"I'm just curious, I didn't think about it." Zhang Lin smiled.

"You can't think of something out of professional sensitivity, do you?" Qiao Liang said.

Zhang Lin smiled again.

Qiao Liang said: "Since Minister Chu is a family matter, it should be related to his wife, maybe it is an awkward quarrel between the two of them." ”

Zhang Lin nodded: "It's normal for two people to be awkward, the key is to see what happened." ”

"What do you think of again?"

Zhang Lin laughed silently, did not answer, and said after a while: "In recent years, there have been many accidents in the officialdom because of a fire in the backyard...... By the way, where does Minister Chu's lover work? ”

"I was the chief financial officer of Tang Dynasty Group."

"Is the boss of the Tang Dynasty Group the son of Minister Tang?"

"Yes, Tang Chao."

"You have had a relationship with this Tang Chao, haven't you?"

"Yes, once he was drunk and molested Fang Xiaoya and was beaten by me, and the other time was when he met me by the river and wanted to provoke, and was detained for a few days after being taught a lesson by Lu Qian."

Zhang Lin nodded: "Minister Tang knows these two things, right?" ”

"I know, I praised me for doing the right thing afterwards, saying that Tang Chao should be taught a lesson."

Zhang Lin then said: "After Tang Chao was forced to give up the cultural tourism pioneer park project in Songbei, it is now Xiaoya's group doing it, right?" ”

"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded, "Chint Group's ancient city development project in Songbei is next to that cultural tourism pioneer park, after Ren Quan's accident, Tang Chao was forced to give up the project, Miao Peilong took the initiative to contact Chint Group and invited them to take over, so he ......"

Zhang Lin thought about it: "In this way, Tang Chao and Xiaoya involuntarily have an intersection of interests in the business field, and you also participated in the investigation of the cultural tourism park project in Songbei." Also, the lesson you taught Tang Chao that time was related to Xiaoya. And that time Tang Chao was detained, it was because of you. It seems that the beam between you and Tang Chao is very deep. ”

"Yes, it's not shallow."

"So, do you suspect that Tang Chao made the mistake of what happened to you this time? Will you suspect that he wants to get revenge on you? Zhang Lin turned his head to look at Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang couldn't help admiring Zhang Lin's thoughtfulness, and nodded: "Actually, it's not a suspicion, I'm almost sure he did it, it's just that I don't have conclusive evidence." ”

Zhang Lin frowned slightly, and muttered for a long time: "Although the evidence of Tang Chao's crime is difficult to find for a while, it may not necessarily be that there are no other omissions......

"Sister Lin, what do you mean ......?"

"I mean, as long as you can prove that you didn't really play with women in the bar at the time, you can restore your innocence."

"How do you prove it?"

Zhang Lin was silent for a while, pondering.

Qiao Liang said pessimistically: "This matter has been concluded organizationally, and there is no very strong evidence, and it is difficult to overturn it." Moreover, a certain high-ranking person in the city also subjectively had a motive to get rid of me, and it was precisely with this incident that he fulfilled his wish, so even if there was evidence, he was unwilling to overturn the current conclusion. ”

Zhang Lin's eyelids jumped: "Is a certain high-level person you are talking about Secretary Jing?" Do you suspect that he is still holding a grudge against him for embarrassing him at the wine table in Songbei? ”

"Yes, don't think that he must be big-hearted because he has a big heart, he had no choice but to let me go, but I'm sure he has always been obsessed with this matter and has always hated me."

Zhang Lin frowned, looking into the distance and falling into deep thought.

Qiao Liang was also silent.

The night breeze is light, the waves crash against the beach, making a slight wave sound, and the surroundings are quiet.

Qiao Liang sighed for a long time: "I finally figured it out now, in officialdom, the fate of the little people is always sad, and it will always be in the hands of the big people, as long as you offend the big people, sooner or later you can't escape the fate of being rectified." ”

Zhang Lin looked at Qiao Liang: "There may be some truth in your words, but even so, the little people can't be lambs at the mercy of others, they still have to stand up when they should fight, and they still have to be tough when they should protect their legitimate rights and interests." ”

Zhang Lin's voice was not loud, but it was powerful.

Qiao Liang smiled bitterly: "That's what I said, but I've reached this point now, how can I fight?" How to protect your rights? ”

Zhang Lin smiled slightly: "Struggle and rights protection rely on two words. ”

"What two words?"

"Justice!" Zhang Lin said slowly.

Qiao Liang was slightly stunned, and looked at Zhang Lin in a daze, although she is a woman, but in the face of certain things, she shows firmness and strength, which many men can't achieve.

Zhang Lin continued: "Qiao Liang, you must always believe in a word. ”

"What?"

"No matter what time it is, no matter what the circumstances, it is an eternal truth that justice will eventually triumph over evil." In the night, Zhang Lin's expression was very firm and her eyes were very bright.

Seeing Zhang Lin's demeanor, Qiao Liang couldn't help but nod, but he still felt pessimistic.

Zhang Lin then said meaningfully: "Life has always been a reverse journey, pessimism is due to cowardice, cowardice is due to incompetence, incompetence is due to laziness, and this laziness is not only physical...... What is most needed in life is strength and courage, and strength is boiled out, and courage is forced out......"

Thinking about Zhang Lin's words, Qiao Liang seemed to have an understanding, but he felt a flurry of confusion.

The next day, Qiao Liang and Zhang Lin toured Gulangyu Island for a morning, checked out in the afternoon and stayed at a hotel near the sea in Xiacheng City, then went to visit South Putuo and Xiamen University, walked around the beautiful campus of Xiamen University for more than 2 hours, and then left Xiamen University, walked along Huandao Road at will, and browsed the beautiful seaside scenery while walking.

At this time, the road around the island is very clean, tourists in twos and threes or riding or walking, the sun sets, and the beautiful colorful glow is reflected on the sea.

After walking for a long time, Qiao Liang and Zhang Lin stopped and looked into the distance facing the sea.

"That's Kinmen Island." Zhang Lin stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, Qiao Liang looked around, and on the sea in the distance, there was an island standing in the shadows.

"I didn't expect it to be so close." Qiao Liang was a little emotional.

"yes, it's close and yet it's far away." Zhang Lin also sighed a little.

"Hey, it's your ......" The two were sighing when a woman's voice came from behind them.

Qiao Liang and Zhang Lin came back to their senses, Wu Huiwen was standing there with a smile, and there were two people standing next to them, these two people, one was Executive Deputy Mayor Zheng Shidong, and the other was Qian Weishan, Secretary General of the Municipal Government, who were also smiling at the moment.

For Zheng Shidong and Qian Weishan, although Qiao Liang and them know each other, they have very little contact, they only know each other, but they don't know each other.

Seeing the three of them appear here at this moment, Qiao Liang and Zhang Lin were both surprised and hurriedly greeted each other.

"You two are ......" Wu Huiwen looked at Zhang Lin and Qiao Liang, his eyes were a little uncertain.
