Film and Television: I, Xu Lei, won over Chen Shuting

Page 56

The father must be happy.

Previously, Xu Jiang had even suspected that Xu Lei only liked married women.

“Respect her. She said she doesn’t want a title. If her brother passes away in the future, Gao Qilan knows very well that I will be involved. This is already the biggest concession we can make. We can’t push her for too long.”

Xu Jiang said, "Alas, fate is fickle. Should we prepare people?"

"No need. Oh, by the way, Dad, get me some pastries."

Xu Jiang asked, "Who should I give it to?"

"Xiao Wu, they take good care of me. You really are something else. Xiao Wu went all the way to Green Vine to keep an eye on me, worried that I would be bullied, and you didn't even think to give me a gift?"

"Does Father still need to worry about women's affairs?"

Hahaha.

Xu Lei said, "Alright, I'll give you a task. Contact Chen Shuting later. We'll start some real estate projects in your name, and you'll need to help with the details."

"No problem, does the relationship need to be revealed?"

"Don't worry about it. We're the investors. Chen Shuting is in charge of construction. Don't worry about the rest."

It was past 2 a.m. when Xu Lei finally arrived at Director Guo's side, looking rather reluctant to leave.

After entering the house, he handed the fruit and pastries to Xiao Wu and sat down next to her.

"There's still a meeting going on upstairs?"

"Yes, we've been in meetings the whole time, and we even eat together."

An Xin took off her hat and said, "You're here, Lao Xu."

"An Xin, what's wrong?"

"I went for a stroll last night to investigate Li Shun's case. I've already found some clues and I'm pretty sure who it is. I'll get him arrested when I get back."

"Hmm, you slept well?"

"I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"Let's find another place to sleep, instead of sleeping downstairs."

After saying that, he took An Xin upstairs.

Go inside.

Xiao Wu looked at everyone, then found a seat and sat down.

An Xin greeted several leaders.

Xu Lei found a spot and said, "Sorry, I don't believe any of you. I only believe my Xiao Wu and Officer An Xin."

Xu Zhong looked at Xu Lei and said, "Xiao Lei, sit over here with me."

"No, it's too dangerous over there. I'd rather sit with Xiao Wu. None of you protected me. I've worked so hard for Jinghai, and this is the result I get."

No one present spoke.

Mayor Zhang said, "Tell me, how do you plan to handle this?"

“Mayor Zhang, this has nothing to do with you. You’re so busy every day, and the news was only passed to you by one person. What could you possibly know? I remember that you were the first person to call me after the incident.”

Xu Zhong silently wrote down a name.

Mayor Zhang naturally knew what was going on and said, "Don't worry, I will conduct a self-investigation. Since the supervisory team is here, in order to avoid any appearance of impropriety, I will conduct a self-investigation and start with myself."

Luo Shanhe said, "There's no need, Mayor Zhang."

"No, it has to start with me. I'm the boss here. If you're going to investigate, investigate me. I'll investigate whatever you want."

Mayor Zhang's attitude was very firm, and everyone felt helpless.

I could only nod in agreement.

Mayor Xie said, "Since Lao Zhang has also expressed his opinion, then I can also investigate me directly."

Xie Changlin, the mayor of Green Vine City, although he praised Wang Zheng's achievements during the crackdown on organized crime, was essentially still denouncing certain things.

For example, Wang Zheng and Lv Teng are getting too close.

For example, my own identity is practically nonexistent.

The fact that Gao Mingyuan didn't seek out Xie Changlin but instead went to someone above him shows that Gao Mingyuan no longer needed to care about Xie Changlin's identity.

After everyone had taken the lead in expressing their opinions, He Yun took the initiative to say, "This is my medical examination report. Sun Xing is my child, but I am still a young woman and have never been in contact with any man. This report details the incident where my eggs were stolen at the hospital."

He Yun's words stunned everyone present.

“If you think the hospital is fraudulent, you can go to the hospital you mentioned, and I will accept the investigation.”

Xu Zhong watched silently and exchanged opinions with Luo Shanhe.

Luo Shanhe said, "Sit down, Director He. You've suffered so much over the years, and you've worked so hard."

"I'm not aggrieved. I was tricked. It's my fault for being incompetent. My anti-gang office is terrible."

Xu Zhong said, "No need, no need. We still need your help to do our work. Let's all express our opinion on this matter and not tell anyone, okay?"

Everyone nodded.

However, I also admire He Yun; saying this directly expresses my determination.

This is even more impressive than self-inspection.

Xu Lei yawned and leaned against Xiao Wu, preparing to take a nap. Luo Shanhe said, "Xu Lei, is there anything else you want to say? After all, you are the victim."

"No need, I wouldn't dare. Don't turn around. What if I get beaten up or killed? Can you guarantee my safety?"

Luo Shanhe remained silent for a moment, then said, "You must trust us."

"I don't trust anyone. Xiao Wu, come on, let's go out and get some pastries. I brought them especially for you, they'll get cold if you don't eat them now."

After saying that, Xu Lei left with Xiao Wu.

Director Guo looked at An Xin, who said, "I have something to say. I suspect Zhao Lidong is involved in Li Xiang's death within the bureau."

P.S.: Please support me, thank you everyone.

P.S.: Please give me lots of flowers and ratings!

Chapter 71 Gao Mingyuan Sends a Woman Away (Please Subscribe, Fourth Update)

Xu Lei went downstairs. As for what An Xin was saying upstairs, Xu Lei could guess.

An Xin's personality dictates that at this stage, she will inevitably pursue crime to the very end.

In her later years, An Xin will likely become cunning and shrewd, but now, time waits for no one.

An Xin must grow up quickly.

For the supervisory team, someone like An Xin is useful.

"Can Xiao Wu understand this?"

"It was intentional, wasn't it?"

"That's amazing."

Xu Lei reached out and flicked Xiao Wu's nose.

Xiao Wu said vaguely, "The reason you're showing disharmony with the supervision team is probably to avoid suspicion, right? You don't want to offend everyone, do you?"

Xu Lei shook his head and said, "You've only seen the first layer. There's another point. I don't want to deal with people in the underworld, and actually, I don't want to have too much contact with officials either. You have to understand, I made An Xin a solitary police officer, but I also need to be a solitary businessman, you know?"

That's true.

Xiao Wu said, "Yes, collusion between officials and businessmen is actually a taboo subject. Let's not count as such."

"No, you're fine. Are you busy today?"

"busy."

"Alright then, I'm outta here. You get back to your work."

Xiao Wu nodded.

Then, after Xu Lei walked out the door, Xiao Wu found Xu Lei again with the things and gave him the money in his pocket.

"I should pay for the fruit and pastries."

"What are you doing? Have you gone mad?"

"I don't want to be investigated."

"Uh, okay."

In the following days, the supervisory team stayed in Jinghai, and Director Guo arranged a special office area for them.

The arrival of the supervisory team made many people feel uneasy, but there were rumors that the supervisory team intended to uphold justice for Xu Lei, but Xu Lei did not buy it at all.

To put it bluntly, Xu Lei doesn't trust anyone at all.

Thinking about it carefully, that makes sense. I've done so much for Jinghai, and yet none of you have protected me. How can I trust you anymore?

Everyone understands this.

Many people are also unhappy. Xu Lei has indeed done a lot of good deeds. Such a person has not received good treatment and has even been targeted by bad people.

This has truly chilled the hearts of many.

Meanwhile, in the industrial park, many investors from other places settled down.

They avoided contact with anyone but Xu Lei, believing that Xu Lei was the only one who could bring them profit. As for the others, they thought they were either asking for money or things.

If we can't afford to offend them, can't we at least avoid them?

The supervisory team arrived, bringing good news, but the good news didn't last long because the supervisory team didn't uncover much.

They only caught minor troublemakers.

The real big tiger hasn't been caught yet.

All I can say is that arresting people and conducting investigations are both very serious matters.

During this time, Xu Zhong went to see Elder Huang. As Elder Huang's student, Xu Zhong was very willing to listen to the old man's words.

Old Huang didn't say anything, he just praised Xu Lei and told him not to let Xu Lei suffer any injustice.

Then he expressed his opinion that Xu Lei had been wronged, which resulted in many people losing trust in certain departments.

This is a very dangerous sign.

Xu Zhong also understood that this matter had happened so suddenly that they hadn't had time to prepare.

However, the waiting time has already been arranged by Mang Village.

Subsequently, Xu Lei threw all his personnel into a huge shopping mall.

The name is very simple: Wanda.

It was simple and unpretentious, but just looking at the name made Xu Lei feel happy.

What is a commercial district? In this era, we only know a rough outline, but we don't understand the whole picture.

Xu Lei simply said that he would build a huge shopping mall where people could sell goods and that it would provide jobs for many people.

Subsequently, the approval documents were issued, indicating that it was acceptable.

This time, Xu Lei was the investor, and Chen Shuting was the one who did the construction.

Xu Lei's attitude this time is very clear: you can investigate all you want, I'll focus on my business. I, Xiaolong Mobile, am not releasing any new models, so go ahead and do what you want.

Can I go and work in a shopping mall?

It has a bit of a "what's the use" feel to it.

This saddened many of Xiaolong's fans.

In the two months that followed, Xu Lei took absolutely no action, while everyone witnessed the massive commercial district gradually taking shape at an alarming speed.

However, during these two months, the supervisory team began to take action because a woman had gone missing.

A woman named Xue Mei.
