Chapter 23: Mayor Chen Never Owes Anyone a Favor!

  "Little Liu, what are you doing standing at this door? Where's Old Cai?" Mayor Chen Rongsheng of Hanjiang City walked out of the room and looked around, just in time to see Comrade Liu Bihua standing in the corridor in a daze.

  Liu Guanghua turned around and made a gesture to Wang Guowei, then walked over and said: "Mayor, I just went out for a look around. By the way, Director Cai has gone to his relative's house tonight. He is not here now."

  "Not here?" Chen Rongsheng was shocked! Cai Zhenghua is the director of the Public Security Bureau of Hanjiang City, and both the Ministry of Public Security and the Provincial Public Security Department have people. Tonight, when he's not around, the public security comes to search the house... what's going on?

  Seeing Chen Rongsheng's frowning brow... Liu Binghua was lamenting in his heart! This time Cai Zhenghua is done for, even jumping into the Yellow River can't wash him clean!

  "Playing the piano wildly, with such an important matter tomorrow, how could Cai Zhenghua run out and neglect his duties? You immediately call to inform him of the situation here! Also, have Cai Zhenghua arrive at the Hanjiang City Provincial Office early tomorrow morning. We can't stay here anymore, notify everyone else to move out tonight!"

  Chen Rongsheng is a bit angry! Although nothing happened to himself in the end, Chen Rongsheng believes Cai Zhenghua did it! Yesterday evening's incident must have had Cai Zhenghua's shadow behind it! Thinking of this, Chen Rongsheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed - just now he said Cai Zhenghua was not doing his job properly, but wasn't he himself also not doing his job properly by flirting with girls?

  "I... Director Cai is now nowhere to be found... forget it, I'll think of a way." Now he tells Chen Rongsheng that he doesn't know how to contact Cai Zhenghua... does Chen Rongsheng believe him? In Chen Rongsheng's eyes, he and Cai Zhenghua collaborated on the "room inspection" farce tonight! And they even took away Hanjiang City Party Secretary Li Mu Feng!

  Liu Bihua immediately went to the 5th floor and knocked on the door, informing the driver and other staff to prepare to leave immediately! Something big had happened upstairs, the municipal party secretary had been taken away... The drivers and staff on the 5th floor all knew about it. At this time, they hadn't slept at all, but were waiting for orders instead.

  After notifying the relevant personnel, Liu Guanghua walked to the first floor lobby and asked to make a phone call. The hotel lobby staff knew that Liu Guanghua was from the Hanjiang Municipal Government, so they reluctantly agreed. It's worth noting that in those days, telephones were a high-end thing.

  He dialed the phone number of Cai Su-Yan's home and heard her hoarse voice on the other end. Liu Bao-Hua chuckled, "Little sister, it's your brother. Are you asleep? But I have something to..."

  "Brother...... waaahhh......" Suddenly, Cai Su's sorrowful crying voice came from the phone! This made Liu Guanghua's heart skip a beat! To be honest, Liu Guanghua still cared about this younger sister. Because her life was saved by him! He couldn't just ignore her and not care.

  "What's wrong, little sister? Who bullied you? Tell me! I'll go and avenge you!" Liu Bihua comforted her repeatedly.

  Cai Suyan had been worried sick since she found out that her father Cai Zhenghua was in trouble... She suddenly realized how poor and helpless she was! When she fell from being a white swan to an ugly duckling... Cai Suyan discovered that there was no one around her who could be relied on! It seemed like she had an older brother... but he wasn't by her side. Just as Cai Suyan felt deeply lonely and helpless, Liu Bihua called her! In an instant, Cai Suyan was like a wronged child throwing herself into her mother's arms... Her grievances and tears burst out all at once! She cried uncontrollably.

  Then Liu Bihua anxiously asked Cai Suyan what had happened, but Cai Suyan just cried and didn't say anything. It took a long time for Liu Bihua to comfort Cai Suyan.

  After a long while, Cai Suyan stopped crying and said: "Brother, it's so late to call, is there something going on?" Only then did Cai Suyan remember that Liu Bihua seemed to want to say something to her just now.

  Liu Bihua said helplessly, "It's like this... I need to find Director Cai now! Director Cai originally lived in the same room as me, but he went out at night. Now Mayor Chen has an urgent matter that requires his presence... I know you have a good relationship with Director Cai's family, can you ask them if they know where Director Cai might be in the provincial city? Is there a phone number to reach him?"

  Cai Su Yan almost blurted out a phone number... but she quickly covered her mouth! Then she said: "Brother, don't hang up the phone, I'll ask for you right away! Just 2 minutes!"

  The female staff at the hostel saw Liu Binghua holding the phone and waiting...and said: "Long-distance calls are expensive! You'd better hurry up!"

  Liu Bihua was furious one night: "What a lousy hotel you are! Our leaders have all been taken away! And when I call you, you just mumble and grumble!"

  "Brother, who are you quarreling with? I've asked for the phone number, remember it... Alright, brother hurry up and handle things! Don't worry, I'm fine! I'll be strong!" Cai Sujuan said a few more words to Liu Bihua before hanging up.

  Liu Bihua glared at the female staff member of the reception office, then dialed another phone number: "Hello? Is Director Cai Zhenghua in? Oh, I'm Assistant Liu Bihua to Director Cai. I have an urgent matter to discuss with him."

  Seeing Liu Bihua holding the phone and waiting for someone again, this time the female staff at the reception did not dare to speak. This young man glared with a fierce gaze that was scary, it's better to keep a distance from him! Otherwise, he would lose his temper... or is he just being arrogant?!

  "Hey, Director Cai, it's Liu Bihua! Something big has happened here! Not long after you left, a group of public security personnel came to search the house and took away Secretary Li Mu Feng! Oh, nothing happened at Mayor Chen's place." Liu Bihua thought for a moment, but still didn't tell Cai Zhenghua about rescuing Li Mu Feng and Chen Rongsheng. What if this matter was really Cai Zhenghua secretly plotting behind his back? Then tonight's actions would be unnecessary! And even counterproductive!

  On the other end of the phone, Cai Zhenghua remained silent for a long time... At this moment, he was truly speechless! It was very clear that he was the most suspicious! Li Mu Feng was someone even the provincial party secretary valued highly! He had been caught? What to do now?

  "Xiao Liu, don't be in a hurry. Tell me the whole story carefully! Don't leave out any details!" Cai Zhenghua decided to grasp the detailed dynamics before thinking of ways to deal with it.

  "Alright! Here's what happened...". 5 minutes later, after listening to Liu Bihua's report, Cai Zheng gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Since jumping into the Yellow River couldn't wash it clean anyway, he might as well take a leap into the Yellow River!

  After finishing the phone call with Cai Zhenhua, Liu Bihua glanced at the timid female staff member of the reception office and said irritably: "What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll take liberties with you? I don't have time for that! Later we're going to move out, get ready to open the big door."

  Seeing Liu Binghua go upstairs, the female staff member patted her chest and said weakly: "Fortunately, he didn't have time!"

  Liu Bihua went directly to the sixth floor and reported Cai Zhenghua's situation to Chen Rongsheng.

  Chen Rongsheng said: "Does Director Cai know about the things here?" Chen Rongsheng meant: "Does Old Cai know about my picking up girls?"

  Liu Bihua said in surprise, "Is there something wrong with the mayor? I didn't find anything strange tonight." Liu Bihua now thinks that his talent for talking nonsense with his eyes wide open is still not bad.

  "Hmm? Chen Rongsheng looked at Liu Binghua with a profound meaning and further confirmed: 'Director Cai really doesn't know?'"

  "I swear!" Liu Bihua said directly and decisively!

  "Phew..." Chen Rongsheng let out a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.

  After a long time, he took out a package of tea leaves and said: "Take this away. It's very precious! You must drink it personally!"

  "Mayor, no pay without work!"

  Chen Rongsheng said word for word: "I never owe debts! Even less owe favors!"

  I have to go to the hospital this afternoon to take care of my daughter's infusion... The second update will be around 9 pm. Alas, I'm so tired of shouting, but it's helpless!
