The night was deep and people were hard to calm, Gao Tianhe stood in front of the window, looking at the dark and mysterious night outside the window, the faint light of the courtyard lamp could not drive away the darkness.

  Gao Xiaohu walked into the study and saw his father's brow furrowed, seemingly with deep worries. He didn't understand why his dad was being so cautious this time. He said: "Tan Qiping doesn't want to stir up trouble, Shen Huai that beast can't turn the sky upside down. Dai Yi and Wang Ziliang have been taken to the Tangzha District Branch, I'll go take a look."

  Gao Tianhe knew that his son's view of the problem was still superficial, and the situation had not yet become clear. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start, so he simply said: "Shen Huan has not yet surrendered, this matter may still have variables; you'd better not show your face for now."

  "Will Tang Qiping be shaken by this little beast Shen Huai?" Gao Xiaohu said.

  "Wang Ziliang is a fool, he's mixed with the underworld, daring to mobilize dozens of elite troops from the district bureau to confront him, what else can be said? That Chen Fei in Chengbei is also a piece of trash," Gao Tianhe cursed, frustrated and helpless, instructing his son Gao Xiaohu, "You must remember, these days everything can be faked, but being a fool cannot be faked."

  "It can't be that serious, right?" Gao Xiaohu said.

  "Some principles are not so good to touch," said Gao Tianhe, "Dai Lesheng should also know that Dai Yi has controlled the message, but he hasn't even made a phone call until now. He must also know that this matter is very tricky and can only let Tan Qiping handle it. Tan Qiping may be weak for a moment, wanting to control the bad influence of the situation, wanting to sell out Minister Dai, but unexpectedly encountered Shen Huai, this stubborn troublemaker. Whether Tan Qiping will change his mind, it's really hard to say now..."

  Gao Tianhe had deep worries, encountering Shen Huai was not a straightforward person, and it was difficult to predict how the situation would develop. Even if he knew that not showing up might hurt their relationship with Dai Lesheng's father and son, Gao Tianhe didn't want to get too deeply involved before the situation became clear, lest Tan Qiping ruthlessly pulled them all in.

  At this moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang out, and it was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

  Gao Tianhe turned around and stared at the phone for two seconds, knowing that no matter who called at this time, there would be no good news. He let out a light sigh and walked over to pick up the phone...

  Gao Xiaohu saw his old man pick up the phone, and he just "uh-huh" twice, then said a sentence "I know, I'll go there" and hung up the phone, asking: "Whose call?"

  "Tan Qiping may have decided to take drastic measures!" said Gao Tianhe, on the night of early June, it was still cool, he picked up the knitted jacket on the chair and put it on, not wanting to disturb the driver so late, he said to his son Gao Xiaohu, "You drive me to Beige."

  "Go all out, what does he mean by going all out?" Gao Xiaohu asked in shock. "Isn't he afraid that Dai Yi will be stuck in the case and can't get out of it?"

  "He is afraid of Minister Dai, so he wants me to bring Zhang Shuji and Xiao Shuji over to back him up." said Gao Tianhe.

  "Dad, you'd better call Zhang Secretary and Xiao Secretary first, and clearly tell them the pros and cons," Gao Xiaohu also felt a bit anxious, "otherwise, even if it's not a big deal, we won't be able to explain it to Minister Dai."

  "It's useless, Tan Qiping didn't convene a meeting of the standing committee members to discuss this, but instead called a secretary office meeting. This matter is basically impossible to turn around now," Gao Tianhe shook his head and said, "Now we can only hope that Dai Yi's involvement in the case isn't deep. Zhang Daming is in charge of the political and legal committee, Xiao Han is in charge of the discipline inspection committee, especially Zhang Daming, the public security system is under his jurisdiction. If Tan Qiping didn't ask for his opinion, then so be it, otherwise he wouldn't have any room to be soft on this matter. This time, some officials from the Chengbei district might be implicated, you'd better think carefully, are there any butts that haven't been wiped clean..."

  Donghua Municipal Party Committee, Tan Qiping is the Secretary of the Party Committee. In addition to three deputy secretaries, Zhang Damming and Xiao Handu live in the Standing Committee Villa area. When arriving at Tan Qiping's building, Gao Xiaohu stopped the car on the driveway outside the yard and saw Xiong Wenbin walking out to open the gate: "Mayor Gao, Secretary Zhang and Secretary Xiao have arrived..."

  "Uh-huh." Gao Tianhe nodded, and even though he knew the situation was already beyond his control, he couldn't help but want to see something on Xiong Wenbin's face. Unfortunately, Xiong Wenbin's expression was as calm as water, and he directly led Gao Tianhe to the study room on the west side to discuss matters, while letting Gao Xiaohu temporarily sit in the living room.

  Seeing Su Kuiwen, Pan Shihua and Xiong Wenbin's son-in-law Zhou Ming sitting in the living room, Gao Xiaohu couldn't talk to them at all, just nodding his head as a greeting, standing under the eaves, looking towards the study.

  Through the glass window, Tan Qiping, Zhang Daming and Xiao Han were seen sitting solemnly on the sofa, while Quan Xuetao and Shen Huai sat on stools in front of them. In front of Shen Huai was a woman who seemed to be talking to Tan Qiping, Zhang Daming and Xiao Han, but her face was half-turned away, making it impossible for Gao Xiaohu to recognize her.

  At the moment when Xiong Wenbin opened the door to the study, Gao Xiaohu heard the woman say: "Wang Ziliang has four great guardians under his command. Today, only two of them were brought under control by Wang Ziliang. The one who actually controls the finances of the Ying Huang is Wang Ziliang's wife..." As he followed his father into the study with Xiong Wenbin, the voice was blocked out, but Gao Xiaohu felt that the voice sounded familiar. Stretching his waist, he took two steps into the courtyard before he could see the woman's profile clearly, and to his surprise, it was Yang Lili, who had nothing to do with the Ying Huang.

  Damn it, Gao Xiaohu cursed in a low voice, thinking that the city had made up its mind to get rid of Wang Ziliang once and for all, and with this internal line, the Emperor's secrets would soon be dug out from top to bottom. He also knew that Wang Ziliang was doomed this time, and walked back under the eaves with a tinge of regret.

  ***********

  After Yang Lili reported the situation of Ying Huang to Tan Qiping and others, Shen Huai came out with her first. Pan Shihua and Zhou Ming did not have the qualifications to enter the study room to hear the discussion, sitting in the living room, seeing Shen Huai and Yang Lili walking over, they all stood up, their stiff smiles like a rag that had been blown dry by the wind.

  It was already late at night, and Shen Hua didn't intend to wait for the final decision to come out, so he thought of going back to rest first.

  Su Kaiwen overheard the nanny from Tan's family talking in the inner room, saw Shen Huai about to leave, walked out and said: "Fortunately, you had seen through Wang Ziliang's true face early on, otherwise we might have continued to be deceived by his sugar-coated bullets. Thanks to you, really! Let's get together for a meal sometime?"

  From Su Kuiwen's face, it was absolutely impossible to tell that he had quarreled with Shen Huai to the point of almost exposing their relationship.

  Shen Huai took a light breath, secretly thinking: This is the kind of material that can be used to make an official, this face must be thick enough to withstand being shot with an AK47, no wonder his father was incompetent but still managed to serve as the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Tao Guoquan for nearly twenty years.

  "Alright, let's make another appointment for another day." Shen Huai said, and glanced at Pan Shi Hua and Zhou Ming again, without saying anything, and walked out. Seeing Gao Xiao Hu standing under the eaves looking at the iron railing with a sullen face, Shen Huai pretended not to see him and pushed open the door to leave the yard.

  Yang Lili followed Shen Hua out of the yard with quick steps.

  It can be determined that Wang Ziliang has fallen this time and cannot turn over again. Yang Lili believes that Emperor Entertainment will soon become a fleeting cloud, becoming a forgotten past. However, she also feels confused and doesn't know how to proceed with her future path.

  Shen Huai looked at Yang Lili getting into the car and said to her: "You haven't been home for a few days, is everything okay?"

  Yang Lili glanced at Shen Hui for a few seconds, not saying a word; Shen Hui suddenly realized that she might have gotten it wrong and added: "It may be unsafe for you to go home now, so find a hotel to stay in for a few days first. Wait until the Municipal Bureau has arrested Wang Ziyang's other two top henchmen and his wife, then you can go home..."

  Yang Lili's face suddenly flushed bright red, and if Shen Hui hadn't added an explanation first, that one "en" sound almost slipped out of her mouth. Yang Lili turned to look at the car window, feeling awkward and uneasy, afraid that Shen Hui would see through her thoughts, and she didn't know whether to struggle or not.

  Seeing Yang Lili's ears turn bright red as if they were bleeding, Shen Hui knew she was thinking wildly.

  Although he wasn't the type to be led around by his lower half, Yang Lili's blushing face and embarrassed expression, the fleeting glimpse of her young womanly charm, was truly enticing.

  Yang Lili's facial features are delicate, with a melon-shaped face, large and bright eyes, fair skin, and a slender figure that is not particularly tall but has a good shape. She turns her head to look out the window, wearing a dress without stockings underneath, revealing sturdy and tight snow-white thighs under the streetlights, with her knees together and a very fine gap in between.

  All men will have an impulse to stretch their hands into that gap...

  Men are visual animals, and Yang Lili is the kind of woman who can give people a strong visual impact. Shen Hua thought that she was able to emerge from the muddy waters unscathed because Wang Ziyang kept a close eye on his wife.

  Thinking of this, Shen Hua couldn't help but laugh and said to Yang Lili: "Wang Ziliang is so arrogant in the north of the city, but few people know that he's actually a 'henpecked husband'. I was thinking, with all those beautiful young girls coming and going from the nightclub, there must be at least 800 or 900 of them, yet Wang Ziliang hasn't even managed to get involved with a few. This underworld boss is really living in vain..."

  Yang Lili's face was a bit hot, and she wasn't quite sure what Shen Hua meant by this.

  She had just walked out of the city party secretary's courtyard, and her mind was also very confused. She used to be a small person, and she tried hard to make herself not so drifting with the tide. But after experiencing these things, she didn't know if she would still be willing to return to that kind of life where her fate was at the mercy of others, trampled by anyone.

  She was taken aback when Shen Huan asked her if there was a problem with not going home for the past few days, and she thought Shen Huan wanted her. She clearly knew that her heart had collapsed and given up at that moment, so when Shen Huan explained that he didn't want her to go home because of safety concerns, she felt particularly embarrassed.

  Looking at Yang Lili's appearance, Shen Hui also had to restrain himself in order not to be enchanted. He picked up his phone and called Liu Weiguo, telling him about the city's decision in general terms, so that he wouldn't have a hard time eating and sleeping when he got back.

  From Liu Weiguo, Shen Huai knew that Kou Xuan had been taken to the Tangzhazhen police station for a record after leaving, and then was sent back by the police car along with her younger aunt.

  Shen Hua looked at his watch and saw that it was already 2 o'clock in the morning. He thought to himself, "This night is really long." Then he asked Yang Lili, "Is there a phone at your home?"

  "Uh-huh." Yang Lili nodded.

  "You'd better call home and let them know, or they'll worry if you don't go back for a few days." Shen Hua handed the phone to Yang Lili.

  Yang Lili no longer had the will to refuse Shen Hua, took over the phone, and called home to ask about the child's condition, only slightly relieved after learning that the child's cough was not as severe, before hanging up the phone.

  Shen Huai saw Yang Lili ask about the child's situation, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she also had some feelings in her heart.

  Before, Shen Huai was interested in Yang Lili, but only because of her enchanting and beautiful appearance, without caring about what kind of person she was. It wasn't until tonight that Shen Huai found out that Yang Lili was already a mother of a three-year-old child. Her husband had been one of Wang Ziyang's trusted subordinates, but two years ago he died unexpectedly after being hit on the back of the head with an iron rod during a fight with another group of thugs. Yang Lili had no choice but to work at the nightclub to take on the responsibility of supporting her family.
