C1229 Heavy Sigh
I hurried downstairs. Qiu Tong was sitting in the front seat of the car, driving by Fourth Brother.
I opened the door and got in the car. Qiu Tong said to Fourth Brother, "Fourth Brother, let's go —"
Fourth Brother then drove out of the yard.
I quickly asked Qiu Tong, "Where are we going?"
Qiu Tong's expression was calm as she used her hand to stroke her hair. Her movements were calm and graceful.
Then she turned and smiled at me.
I seemed to have a premonition, but I wasn't sure. I stared straight into Qiu Tong's eyes.
"We —" Qiu Tong paused for a moment before continuing, "We'll go to the security forces to pick up Hai Zhu and Zhang Xiaotian!"
My heart skipped a beat. As expected, I guessed it. Qiu Tong successfully executed the second step. I told her the truth and she saved Hai Zhu and Zhang Xiaotian.
Qiu Tong did what she had to do with great efficiency.
I didn't know why, although I had guessed it, but my heart felt a little relieved. What followed was a heavy sigh.
"How did you do it?" "No," I said.
My voice sounded confused, yet weak and tired.
I glanced at Fourth Brother, who was driving expressionlessly, as if he wasn't very surprised by the result.
Qiu Tong turned around, looked at the front of the car, let out a small breath and slowly said, "First of all, it's because there's the truth. What I need is the truth. Although it might not be the whole truth, it is still okay as long as it is the initial truth on the surface.
"Thank God you got the truth when I needed it the most. I don't know how you got it, and I don't want to know, but I can do what I have to do with the truth, whatever its completeness."
I watched Qiu Tong's quiet expression from the side, listening to her calm narration.
Qiu Tong continued, "Actually, there are some coincidental things in this world, whether it's really coincidental or fake, but there are always people and things that happen when you need them. Yesterday, when you were giving me the recording, a university classmate of mine who was a producer in the CCTV Online Truth Investigation Program just so happened to bring a reporter to Hsinghai. As for me, I happened to discuss this matter with my old classmate at a gathering, and intentionally or unintentionally told him about the recording.
This old classmate of mine was very curious, yet at the same time, he also had a sense of justice. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be interested, and he couldn't help but plan a show called "Behind the Hotel Confinement" on the spot. He couldn't help but contact the city's political and legal committee to make a report on this matter.
That afternoon, I reported back to my classmate saying that the incident was completely illusory, that it was just a misunderstanding. He said that the hotel had not been sealed off, that it was only temporarily closed down, that the boss and the boss of the hotel had nothing to do with it, that it was just cooperating with the investigation, that it was only a normal period of time for prostitution and gambling, that the separate incident had nothing to do with the hotel, that the police department would soon release the guests, and that the hotel would soon be open for business.
During this time, I don't know what kind of deal happened, but early in the morning, my classmate flew back to Yanjing, and before he left, my classmate told me that the boss and the boss of the hotel would be acquitted the moment they went to work. They said that this was all a misunderstanding and that now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, everyone will be fine. "
After listening to Qiu Tong's explanation, I roughly understood what was going on. Although what Qiu Tong said seemed like it was all a coincidence, but I understood that it was all her doing. When I had taken the first step to search for the truth, she had already taken the second step.
With that, Qiu Tong felt slightly gratified, but she then sighed.
At this moment, I received a call from Qin Lu. Qin Lu's voice sounded a little excited on the other side of the phone, "Hey — Yi Ke, I heard that Hai Zhu and Director Zhang are fine today. I heard that it was all a misunderstanding."
"Yeah, I'm on my way to pick them up from the security forces!" "No," I said.
Qin Lu was well-informed.
"It's strange, but it's also very lucky." Qin Lu continued, "What a coincidence! Yesterday, a producer and a reporter from CCTV who brought in a reporter from Rule of Law Online got wind up with the news. He called our Office of the Political and Law Commission and said that he wanted to interview the incident and produce a news and truth investigation program.
After that, I reported to the leader, who was immediately busy. He quickly dragged the city committee's Ministry of Propaganda and the city broadcast department's leader to the hotel to meet that person, and on that day, he treated him to a meal, explained him to the public, explained him to the public, and clarified the misunderstanding. After that, he replied that the misunderstanding was resolved, and the person in charge of the security team in the city was severely criticized.
On the orders of my leader, I had just dropped the uncrowned king off at the airport, watched them enter the security checkpoint, watched the plane fly away, and had just returned from the airport. Sigh — What a coincidence, the reporter who was at this critical juncture suddenly came and somehow found out about it. She even thought that there was something fishy going on and even mentioned that she was going to interview him about it, which was equivalent to helping Hai Zhu and Director Zhang.
Haha, actually, I also feel that this matter is very strange. I firmly do not believe that Hai Zhu would allow her own hotel to do such a thing. It's just that no one believes me when I say it. Lucky, really lucky. "I have escaped danger."
Qin Lu's words once again verified my judgment of what Qiu Tong had just said. I seemed to understand the whole process of how this matter was handled and resolved.
"What does your leader think of this matter with Central TV?" I asked Qin Lu.
"The leader seems to be very strange, but it seems to have suffered a little fright as well, as he instructed everyone to use the premise of protecting the good image of the Hsinghai and political system, to not have any negative reports about the Hsinghai and law system to send out, and to not use any means to extinguish the fire. With the leader's instructions, everyone would be easy to deal with, the leaders of the city's propaganda department all set out together, using all sorts of methods to do their work.
Hee hee. As for the methods to extinguish the fire, everyone was well aware of it. All these years, they had been using these means to soothe the reporters, try to clarify the misunderstanding, do the job of cleaning up the mess, give them a perfect answer, and give them some personal benefits. This can be considered to be a big joy. "
Qin Lu chuckled and said, "Although this matter has finally been settled, I can see that the Leader still has some lingering fear in his heart. This person in charge of the security team has been severely criticized. I'm afraid he still needs to be punished. "
Hearing Qin Lu's words, there was no doubt that this captain was going to be the scapegoat. Since the leader wanted to get rid of his responsibilities, there had to be someone to be the scapegoat. This was also the unspoken rule of government.
After I finished my call with Qin Lu, I heaved a sigh of relief. Qiu Tong also heaved a sigh of relief, as though she knew all of this.
"It's a surprise but not a danger. It's finally settled." Qiu Tong said softly before sighing.
The car soon brought them to the entrance of the security force. As soon as they stopped, they saw Hai Zhu and Zhang Xiaotian walking out together.
Zhang Xiaotian and Hai Zhu both looked haggard and frightened.
Qiu Tong and I got out of the car to greet him.
"Zhu — Xiaotian —" I said.
"Hai Zhu — — Director Zhang — —" Qiu Tong also said, then she went over and took Hai Zhu's arm, her voice was filled with pain and pity.
Fourth Brother also got down from the train station and watched on the side.
Zhang Xiaotian and Hai Zhu stopped and looked at us. Zhang Xiaotian forced a smile at Qiu Tong, Fourth Brother and me and then nodded.
Hai Zhu's eyes were a little dazed. She looked at Fourth Brother and Qiu Tong, then looked at me. Her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Hai Zhu, you've suffered." Qiu Tong hurriedly comforted Hai Zhu as she lightly patted her hands.
Hai Zhu glanced at Qiu Tong again.
"I was very lucky to finally be fine. You guys have finally made it out safely. " Qiu Tong added, her eyes turning red.
Suddenly, Hai Zhu's gaze became resentful. She looked at Qiu Tong, then at me, then gently let go of Qiu Tong's hand and coldly said, "Lucky or not, I'm fine. We were originally wronged. We were implicated, if not for you. If not. How could we be in such trouble? This is all your doing, this is all a disaster for us underworld people like you. I hate you, I hate you. "
Hai Zhu's voice was filled with uncontrollable grievance and anger as her chest heaved up and down slightly.
During her time in custody, Hai Zhu had apparently realized the general reason behind the incident at her hotel.
With Hai Zhu's words, Qiu Tong's face immediately turned pale. Her lips quivered as she lowered her head, a look of shame on her face.
Zhang Xiaotian looked at Hai Zhu and said softly, "Hai Zhu, don't say this, don't say it like that."
"Why not? Don't you understand what's going on? Don't you know why this happened? Without them and their involvement with the underworld, how could we have met with such a situation? " Hai Zhu's voice was a little shrill, seemingly getting angrier.
Fourth Brother licked his lips and got into the car.
Qiu Tong continued to stand there in a daze.
"I'm so honored to be able to benefit from you guys. It's one thing if you have connections with the underworld, but you have to involve us as well." Hai Zhu continued.
"Hai Zhu." I... "Sorry …" Qiu Tong said in an intermittent manner.
"You don't need to apologize to me, do you?" You don't need to apologize to me. Hai Zhu said coldly, then looked at me. "This is the benefit of being in the underworld, this is your retribution for being with your boss. I've really gotten lucky by following you. I'm truly a lucky person, my luck is really great. Not only me, Director Zhang is also basking in your glory. "
I sighed helplessly. "Zhu, don't say anymore. Get in the car and let's go back." Qiu Tong, Fourth Brother, and I are here specifically to pick you up. "1
Hai Zhu glanced at Fourth Brother's car and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions. However, there's no need. We can go back ourselves. "
After saying that, Hai Zhu stopped a taxi and pulled Zhang Xiaotian into it. Then she looked at me: "What are you waiting for? You don't want to go back with me? "
I was stunned. Qiu Tong continued to urge me in a low voice, "Get in the car and go back with Hai Zhu!"
I thought for a moment, then got in, and the cab started off, leaving Qiu Tong standing there by herself.
On the way, Hai Zhu silently turned her head to look out the window and didn't say a word.
I sat down next to Hai Zhu and pulled her hand over to mine. Hai Zhu's hand was a little cold.
Zhang Xiaotian turned around, looked at me, then looked at Hai Zhu and said: "Hai Zhu, actually. "This matter can't be blamed on Yi Ke and Qiu Tong.
Hearing Zhang Xiaotian's words, Hai Zhu became angry again and looked at Zhang Xiaotian: "Director Zhang, then who do you blame? Blame us? We do business properly, who did we offend? Who was the one who brought this disaster down from the sky? "Don't you understand how this came to be?"
Zhang Xiaotian was speechless.
