SUFFOCATE

CHAPTER 401 - CAN'T RETRACE HIS STEPS

Yes, I don't trust them enough. Gretchen was blunt.

It depends. Ringel was silent for a moment, then said, If the Group Bureau can't be found out and needs help from the Municipal Bureau, that's fine. If we completely withdraw from the Group Bureau and let the Municipal Bureau take over, this will definitely cause some unnecessary misunderstandings. We can't do this unless it's an extraordinary period. Lindsay says.

When Gu Liqing heard Lin Jie's words, her heart chilled. In that case, was Kang Ming the only one who could handle this case? If that wasn't what he wanted to do, then he would do so as much as he wanted. In the end, Liang Ri really did die suddenly from a heart attack. It was a normal accident. There was nothing wrong with it! Then, were some people planning to play a bigger game? Thinking of this, Gu Liqing's heart trembled once again! The end of a life did not seem to be important. What was important was that his death could make many people feel gratified and relieved. This was the true reason why Liang TianFa had to die. Because, if he was still alive, he would be like a bomb. The best outcome would be if he were to just explode to death.

After hanging up, Gretchen's heart sank to the bottom. If Lin Jie wasn't the only one with her, then this case would probably just end there. However, what she would face was the endless entanglement of Liang ZhiFa's family members. This matter was far from easy to resolve. Back then when she had investigated him, she had also thought of the worst case scenario. However, she had never thought that he would suddenly die! This was too hard to accept! No matter what, he shouldn't die!

The news of Liang Ri's death was originally meant to be a hassle, but it was as if the news had grown wings and quickly spread through the streets and alleys of the Spring River, filling everyone's day and night.

When Liang Ri's wife first found out about this, she cried until she almost fainted.

When she woke up again, she pulled her son, who was in high school, back from school. Then, she gathered all the members of the Liang Family, young and old, to the courtyard.

When the guard saw such a group of people crying, he obviously tried to block them from entering.

Liang Ri's wife immediately began bawling!

You unblinking executioners, my family's Old Liang has been wronged, wronged, it was you who killed him, he didn't have a heart attack at all, it was you who forced him to death, it was you who killed him, I want you to pay with your lives! Return our family's old Liang! Poor old Liang... My man …

When Liang Ri's wife cried like this, everyone began to cry as well.

At the entrance of the compound, it immediately became like a spirit shed. Only Liang Ri's corpse was left behind.

Jiang could be seen standing behind the office window, watching everything that was happening at the door. He immediately called his secretary, Xiao Liu. Tell Old Qiao, get these people to the office and block them off at the door. What does it look like?

Little Liu immediately called Director Qiao, who was in charge of the letter office, and relayed the message according to Jiang Neng's intentions.

The head of the letter office, Qiao Mingchang, had only come to the letter office last year. Previously, Qiao Mingchang had been Deputy Chief of the Tourism Bureau, but he had not urinated at all. By the time he got to the letter office, although he had solved a problem, this place was not a place for humans. If it wasn't for the chance to climb the stairs, he wouldn't want to jump into the pit of fire. Big events happened every day, and small things happened every day. How tiresome! He did not have any political achievements, but he did have a lot of troubles! If he could not get praise from the Leader, he would be scolded frequently! Just the thought of it caused him to be stifled to death!

After receiving Little Liu's call, although Qiao Mingchang was unhappy, he still quickly arrived at the group entrance. Seeing this scene, he was immediately at a loss for what to do!

Facing these people who had already lost their minds, he could not think of any way to deal with them.

He had long known about Liang Ri's incident, and this crazy woman had also heard of it. It was just that he had yet to experience it for himself.

He braced himself and walked over.

He came to the front of Liang Ri Fa's wife, squatted down, and said, Big Sis, please be merciful! Sooner or later, there will be an explanation regarding Old Liang. Please go back and wait, how bad will it be if you stay here!

Ah … Bad influence? My family's Old Liang died without knowing why, so what else can I do? Say it! What is good influence? Stopping a country's official for no reason at all was just affecting the country? If a person died, how could it affect him without any explanation? Why don't you think about it for us, huh? You pack of wolves, don't even see blood when you eat people! Old Liang, you've died an unjust death! " Liang Yifan's wife seemed to have gone crazy. It was not easy to catch someone and she pulled Qiao Mingchang along as she scolded him incessantly.

Qiao Mingchang's words were clumsy. How could he be a match for Liang Yifan's wife! Being pushed around by her, in addition to the wave of curses, Qiao Mingchang's forehead started to sweat. This was too f * cking preposterous! I came here out of good intentions to persuade you, but I got scolded by you for no reason.

Qiao Mingchang really wanted to walk away like this. Regardless of this crazy woman, he wanted her to scold him until she got tired of scolding herself and stopped scolding! But then he thought that if he couldn't do even that, he would be criticized by Jiang Nong. He restrained himself and stood there, thinking about how he could get this woman to take these people to the letter office.

Big sister, I understand your feelings. I am also deeply saddened by Old Liang's death! Back then, we were all working together. How could we not be sad about his death? However, you can't revive after death, so you better open up a bit. The matter is still being investigated, so I believe that I will be able to give you an answer very soon." Qiao Mingchang said.

Ah … My man is dead! Damn it all! Why did you do such a vicious thing to him? These people are too heartless. Old Liang didn't do anything that would harm the heavens and the earth … Liang Yifan's wife was crying and shouting once again. Her snot and tears flowed all over the ground, making her look really miserable.

Big Sis, the wind is blowing strongly outside. If you have anything to say, let's go to the office and talk, alright? There's water there, we can sit down and talk slowly... " Qiao Mingchang said.

Liang Ri Fa's woman was still crying loudly in grief. However, there were no more curses. She had been crying for a long time. Her tears were almost dried and her voice was almost hoarse …

Qiao Mingchang tried to help her up and then said to the others: Please go to the office. If there's anything you want to say, we'll talk slowly! As he spoke, he supported Liang Ri's woman towards the office on the right side of the door.

Liang Ri's woman did not refuse and followed Qiao Mingchang to the office.

The letter office was outside the group compound.

This was designed by Li Jiannan at the time.

The situation was unstable and full of contradictions and contradictions. The number of people visiting was increasing. That year, Li Jiannan had thought about it and left the letter outside the corporation's office, so that those who came to visit could go directly to the corporation's office without having to enter the corporation's compound, in order to reduce the siege on the corporation's compound. This design, at the time, was very much held by the group.

Qiao Mingchang finally managed to persuade Liang Yifan's woman and her family members to enter the office of the letter. The entrance of the group compound finally returned to its previous tranquility.

When Jiang could see that the door was quiet, he let out a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he really did not want to see this silly woman from Liang TianFa's house.

It was all because of this silly woman that Liang Ri Fa had been found with an extra few hundred thousand dollars, causing his tail to be exposed more and more, causing him to be unable to finish his business later on.

Gretchen was also watching the movement at the door.

She actually wanted to see Liang Ri's wife stir up a ruckus. It would be best if she went to Long River to cause a ruckus here, so as to not attract any attention from the higher-ups. If Liang Ri's family had any brains, they would not let this matter go, and they would make a big fuss until the truth was revealed.

However, just like the woman from Liang Ri, he couldn't stir up any big ruckus and stir up too much trouble.

From the looks of it, Liang Ri Fa's death would soon come to a conclusion: his heart attack caused his death. Then he would make a final conclusion and leave it at that.

Just like that, a life quietly disappeared. Meanwhile, he still had many unanswered questions as they walked into the grave together. This was the reason why Liang TianFa deserved to die. There were people who wanted him to leave with those original sins and never open his mouth to bite anyone again. Thus, his death was destined.

For the first time, Gu Liqing felt powerless. She had never felt so powerless before. In the face of such a case, she was unable to uncover the truth. As the secretary of the corporation, wasn't she useless enough?

Liang Ri Fa was something she wanted to investigate personally. However, as soon as the matter began to take shape, people were killed. Such a cruel contest made Gretchen feel the terror of political will. She had originally thought that by borrowing Liang Ri's power, he would be able to shake the mountains and shake the tiger. At the very least, he would teach some people a lesson and make them less arrogant. However, the situation had reversed, and this move of hers had completely failed! Not only did it not intimidate the others, it had also affected her own prestige. In this way, the step she took, would be a complete failure! On the other hand, Liang Zhizhan had become the sacrifice of their struggle. Such a sacrifice was too cruel, too bloody, and too inhumane!

Gu Liqing had never thought that this action of hers would cause Liang Ri to lose his life. It looked like her opponent was much more ruthless than her! She was only trying to scare him, but he was trying to kill her! In comparison, she was truly a woman with a soft heart!

Once again, she thought of what Li Jiannan had said to her: In the personnel field, if you don't try to defeat your opponent, you will definitely be beaten by your opponent! And Li Jiannan himself was the best example! He was at a disadvantage due to his carelessness and soft-heartedness! He absolutely could not retrace his steps!

Should he go and talk to Li Jianshi? Gretchen thought to herself.

When the woman sent by Liang Ri arrived at the office, she continued to cry.

Qiao Mingchang no longer tried to persuade her otherwise and instead made her cry. He only asked the staff to constantly store water for them and maintain a good service.

I want to see Vice Minister Jiang. He wants to give me an explanation … Old Liang can't die for nothing … Liang Yifan's woman suddenly rushed into Qiao Mingchang's office and shouted.

This... I'm sorry, Vice Minister Jiang is very busy. He doesn't have time to see you. If you have anything you want to say, I'll write it down and report it to him. I'll tell you when the time comes …" Qiao Mingchang said.

CHAPTER 402 - YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION

No, I don't want your reaction. I want to see him. I must see him. If we can't see him, we won't leave. We still need to go to the compound and block the door! Liang Yifan's woman was shouting, her voice already hoarse.

What a madman! Qiao Mingchang looked at the woman's disheveled, tear-stained face and felt sympathy and disgust.

Looks like this crazy woman won't leave until she sees Jiang Can. But, how could Qiao Mingchang dare to let Jiang come to see her? If he couldn't even do such a small thing, how could he still be the head of the letter department? He was most afraid of hearing what Jiang would say to him. He looked so incompetent.

However, he really couldn't solve this problem! After some thought, Qiao Mingchang could only call his secretary, Little Liu, and tell him truthfully that the person he had interviewed wanted to see Vice Minister Jiang.

He had thought that Jiang would not come. However, after a while, Jiang could actually come from the other side of the compound to the letter office.

Vice Minister Jiang … When Qiao Mingchang saw that Jiang could come, he thought he would be criticized again. He felt uneasy.

Let the woman from Liang Ri's family come in alone. You guys go out, I have something to say to her. Didn't she want to see me? Jiang could sit down on Qiao Mingchang's sofa.

Alright, alright. I'll go call her in. Qiao Mingchang immediately went outside and invited Liang Ri's wife in. Afterwards, he left by himself.

Jiang can look at this silly woman, a wave of disgust in his heart, really stupid woman, you are the one who killed your man, and yet you still cry and make a fuss! What an idiot!

Old Liang died such an unjust death … You have to give me an explanation … When Liang Ri's woman saw that Jiang could come, she immediately burst into tears.

Don't cry! Jiang could look at her and snap.

Liang Ri's woman widened her eyes in fright at his shout. There were still unshed tears in her eyes.

Old Liang's death is still under investigation. We're all sad for you! It's not easy for the Party to nurture a cadre, but in the end, we ended up like this, and we're even more upset than you are! Jiang Neng righteously said, But, what's the use of being sad? Was crying useful? AHH! What can be solved? Let me tell you, regarding Old Liang, I have already given the order to find out the truth as soon as possible and to give an explanation to the entire society! It was the first time in Spring River that a cadre had suddenly died while under investigation. The people were guessing that all sorts of rumors were going wild! Therefore, we must quickly restore the truth and give the dead an explanation. After finishing his words, Jiang Can looked at the slightly dazed woman in front of him.

When Liang Ri's woman heard him say this, her tears started to fall again, Vice Minister Jiang, our family's old and young are all hoping for Old Liang to come out earlier on his behalf. He's the pillar of our family. How can we live if he's gone like this!

This foolish woman! Jiang Lai sneered in his heart. You think your man can get out earlier? What a crazy dream! It's all because of a brainless woman like you! What's the use of crying now?

Sigh … We also hope so. If Old Liang can explain the problem earlier, then when everything is fine, he can come out as soon as possible. That would be good for everyone! Who knew Old Liang would suddenly leave? No one had expected this? Was Old Liang ever very hypertensive? " Jiang Nao asked.

Ah … Old Liang had high blood pressure, but he had been taking medicine to control it. The doctors said that as long as he could control it, everything would be fine. How could something suddenly happen? Old Liang was killed by someone … The woman said and cried.

There is high blood pressure, and if you are agitated or in a bad mental state, there is a sudden sharp increase in blood pressure, leading to a cerebral hemorrhage or a myocardial infarction, which is also possible. Of course, what I'm talking about is just a possibility. The details will have to be investigated first. So, don't cry here, go home and wait. When there's an outcome, I will naturally notify you. If you continue to cause trouble like this, it will only be disadvantageous to the situation! " Jiang Neng said.

The woman looked at him suspiciously, as if she didn't believe him.

If you listen to me, take your family back. Pray for Old Liang at home, so that he can quickly transcend, quickly transcend. A man cannot be revived, and the truth will come out soon! You don't have to grieve. Pay attention to your body!" After Jiang could finish his sentence, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Vice Minister Jiang, Vice Minister Jiang … The woman suddenly pulled Jiang Nong's arm, crying as she said, Please, give Old Liang justice. He died wrongly. He didn't have a cerebral hemorrhage, and he didn't have a myocardial infarction. He was killed by someone …

Jiang couldn't help but want to throw this idiotic woman off. However, he held back and kindly advised, Don't worry, we will return justice to Old Liang and return to him the truth. Go back!

With that, Jiang Can walked out.

The woman sat limply on the ground, wailing and tears flowing from her eyes once more …

In the afternoon, Xu Wenjuan once again arrived at Gu Liqing's office.

Tomorrow was Monday, so the matter regarding Gu Shuhua had already been settled. Xu Wenjuan still had to report to Gu Liqing and let her take a look.

She placed Gu Shuhua's matter, which was prepared by the disciplinary committee, on Gu Liqing's desk.

Ancient book Ji, in the end, the matter regarding Supervisor Gu was decided based on the state of being drunk … Xu Wenjuan said.

Gretchen looked at it, closed her eyes, and leaned back in her chair.

Actually, she didn't even need to look to know what kind of punishment Gu Shuhua would face.

He was relieved of the post of office director and warned against disciplinary action by the Party.

Of course, he might have been punished even more severely if he hadn't been treated as a drunk. This kind of punishment was in the end, a form of reconciliation. If it was another person with a broad mind, he might not have cared at all. However, Gu Liqing knew that Gu Shuhua was different. He could not accept this kind of punishment. Because his heart was very, very narrow. He could not tolerate others looking at him differently, much less be warned of his downfall. Moreover, the punishment he was going to accept would only bring disaster because he was ambushed and because he was the husband of the company's secretary. He could not tolerate this in his heart. Therefore, once this punishment was announced, he might never go to work again.

He had said that he was leaving Spring River and that he wanted to divorce her. Gu Liqing hadn't paid much attention to his words earlier on, as she didn't think it was possible at all. But after deciding on this punishment, she had no choice but to take the two matters that Gu Shuhua had mentioned seriously.

She would never agree to a divorce. Although the two of them were already dead, the outer shell of the marriage definitely had to exist. To her, this was a piece of clothing, a decent piece of clothing that she had to wear. Without this decent coat, her career would have been greatly affected.

Then, if Gu Shuhua was determined to leave? What should you do? Gretchen asked herself.

In the evening, when he returned home, Gu Liqing was still looking for an opportunity to talk with Gu Shuhua, so he had a plan in his heart. She wanted to keep him as steady as she could, to get back on his feet and live a good life, and she would try to get him out of there if she had the chance.

After the meal, Gu Shuhua went back upstairs as usual and locked himself in his room.

Gu Liqing arranged for Zian before she went upstairs.

The door to Gu Shuhua's room was closed, but the light was on.

She knocked on the door and said, Shuhua, I have something to tell you. Can you open the door?

Gu Shuhua took a long time to open the door.

Gu Liqing walked in and found a book on Gu Shuhua's table. She didn't pay much attention to what book it was. However, she had not expected Gu Shuhua to still be able to remain calm and stay in his room to read. Could it be that he had really adjusted his mental state?

Shuhua, your investigation is over. The results of the investigation will be out tomorrow. Gu Liqing looked at Gu Shuhua and said.

Expel me? Gu Shuhua tilted his head and asked.

No, it's not that serious. Exempt from your current position, and the Party has issued a warning to punish you.

Hahaha … After Gu Shuhua heard this, he suddenly laughed out loud, I really need to thank the ancient book for opening the door to me and giving me such an honorable punishment!

You... When Gu Liqing heard him speak in such an insidious manner, she immediately felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

I don't have that much power. Gu Liqing said, It's your problem, so it's not that big of a deal. This kind of punishment, it's just a symbolic explanation to the higher ups. After all, the case was fired from the group. At that time, the higher-ups will come to check on the situation.

Haha … I thought it was because I was the husband of the secretary of the corporation that I was unjustly blessed! Who would have thought that I would fall in love with him again? It looks like I'm still not bad enough. I should be even worse, just a little worse. Let the disciplinary committee directly fire me. That'll end it once and for all, right? Gu Shuhua looked at Gu Liqing, purposely laughing wildly.

Gu Liqing rarely saw Shuhua like this. He was a reserved person, so it was rare for him to be so presumptuous as to vent his emotions.

You must have been hit hard today, that's why you're talking to me like that. She told herself not to get angry with him, not to get angry with him. You came to comfort him. You came to stabilize him.

Shuhua, don't worry. Your punishment will be over very quickly. It's fine if we don't have that position. As long as we have the opportunity, we can get to the level of associate master. These days, you should first take a break, adjust your mood, and take good care of your body. After a while, you can go back to work, and everything will return to normal. Gretchen said.

CHAPTER 403 - YOU ARE TOO GOOD AT ACTING

Can't do it? Why did you go out and do such a thing? Why do you have to be so brainless and fall into someone else's trap? Gu Liqing looked at him, and soon a wave of anger rose from the bottom of her heart. This was truly unreasonable! What he had done, if he had the ability to do it, then he must have the ability to bear the consequences! What kind of man was he, if he stayed at home?

If she could, she would have scolded him! However, he absolutely could not treat him like this at this moment. He could not endure such a speech shock.

Gu Liqing took a deep breath and said, Shuhua, everyone has to pay the price for their actions. It's a good thing that even though you've experienced a hurdle, you didn't pay too much of a price. Let's consider it a setback to gain intelligence! After experiencing this, you can also understand a little bit of what's going on. The HR area is so dangerous. You treat others with sincerity, yet they push you into a fire pit. Therefore, you have to be more careful in the future!"

In the future? Do I have a future? Am I still a man in the Spring River? What did I gain by being the wife of the group secretary? Now that even the stock grade cadres have been exempted and caused such a ruckus in the city, if I were to borrow your power and climb the steps to the top, I will still be a pushover. I will never be able to walk out of your shadow! I, Gu Shuhua, as long as you're in the Spring River, no matter what I do, I can't leave you! I don't live well, and I need your support. I do well because I have you as a backer! If I'm half dead, then that means I'm too useless, too useless! Do you think a man like me still has the face to live? Do I still have the face to be in the Spring River? Ahhh! Gu Shuhua roared again.

Shuhua, I understand your feelings … Gu Liqing tried her best to speak calmly to him, I also know that the relationship between you and I has caused you to bear an invisible pressure. Not only did I not bring you any benefits, I even made you suffer a blow you shouldn't have. These, even if I didn't force them on you, were caused by me. So I've always felt sorry for you, really, Shuhua. You're a good man, a good man at home. But I'm not a housewife, I know. My personality, my current career, has determined that I can't go back to my family. I have to go forward. I have no way out … Originally, we were two cars on two roads, but we were tied together by fate. Since we are already tethered together, then, we must continue to live a good life. For the sake of our parents, for the sake of our children, for the sake of this family, Shuhua, let's put aside our past grudges and start over …"

Haha … Gu Shuhua laughed out loud once again. The sound was so terrifying that it penetrated the roof and flew out of the window.

Gu Liqing felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard this.

Tonight's Gu Shuhua was just too abnormal!

Start again? Putting aside the past enmity? Haha … Gu Shuhua laughed wildly as he said this. Liqing, I really have to admire you. You're too good at acting! Not only are you a good scholar, you're also a good actor! For the sake of your parents, for the sake of your children, for the sake of this family … Let me ask you, where did you put me? When did you ever really have a husband like me in your heart? Ah? My greatest sorrow is not because you've become the company's secretary, not because you have a high position, but because I've married a woman who doesn't love me! You've never had me in your heart! Never!

As Gu Shuhua said this, he looked at Gu Liqing with a mournful look. He was staring at her without letting go, causing Gu Liqing's heart to shiver.

From the moment you decided to marry me, you have doomed me to a tragedy! You don't love me, you haven't loved me at all! We've been married for ten years, but you've always had other men in your heart! That man is Zian's father! After Gu Shuhua finished shouting, his entire body began to tremble!

Gu Liqing was stunned by his words! She never thought that Gu Shuhua would disregard everything and tear apart his face! He was telling her about Zian's birth naked!

NO! Zhang, speak! Gu Liqing opened her eyes wide and stared at Gu Shuhua, Zian is your child, a child of the Gu family. This will never change!

Haha … Gu Shuhua laughed once again. He laughed for a long time, until even tears came out of his eyes.

My child? Is Zian my child? Haha, you really know how to tell stories. Since you say so, alright, I'll bring Ann to be a paternity test tomorrow. Guriqing, let me tell you, if Zian is my child, I will listen to you. However, if Zian is not my child, we will immediately get a divorce. If one more minute, I don't want to see you! Gu Shuhua said as he stared into Gu Liqing's eyes.

You're crazy! The child is innocent. Are you going to hurt him like this? He's the child of the Gu family, forever, and there's no need for any paternity test!

With that, Gretchen returned to her room and locked the door.

Leaning against the door, her tears silently flowed down … The pain in her heart went over and over for a while. The feeling of having the tip of the blade sliding across her heart, the feeling of having the deepest pain in her heart, assaulted her like floodwaters, causing her to be unable to breathe and feel as if she was suffering from a fate worse than death!

If she was destined to pay the price for the infidelity of this marriage, she hoped that she would be the one to bear the consequences! It was she who had walked into the Gu family with feelings for others. It was she who had brought the seeds of others and married into Shuhua, and it was she who, borrowing the Gu family's marriage shell, had given birth to a child that did not belong to the Gu family. It was even she who, because she did not love him, had neglected and harmed this innocent man time and again … It was her, it was her fault, it was her fault, everything was caused by her! However, Zian was innocent. He was still a child, so why did he hurt a child like this? Zian was her flesh and blood, a precious pearl that she would rather use her life to protect! If she could, she would give up everything she had today to give Zian a happy and complete home! However, it was impossible to do it again! Even if Cheng Hongyun divorced and got back together with her, what would happen in the morning? What about Yu Lizhen? They also wanted to hurt more people! If her rebirth and happiness were to be built on the pain of others, wouldn't she be committing a sin again? Why bother?

Some things, wrong is wrong, after the past, will never go back in the past! Some emotions can never heal, no matter how bad the injury is. Only Zian, Zian could not be the victim of her sins! No, he absolutely could not let Zian get hurt! If anyone wanted to hurt Zian, she would risk her life to fight with him! This was her bottom line!

But now, Gu Shuhua had completely seen through Zi An's background, and no longer had any doubts! He had completely lost any feelings he had for his family, his child, or her. If it was said that he still had doubts and scruples in the past, then now, he had completely abandoned these worries and was no longer worried about anything! The fact that he was able to lay his cards on her naked body showed that he was completely convinced of this, and that he would truly walk out of the entanglement in his heart!

The current Gu Shuhua seemed to have grown stronger in his heart. He was no longer the type of person who couldn't take anything anymore. His transformation had truly shocked Gu Liqing! When did this weak-minded man become so tough? When had his heart ever experienced such a reversal?

Gu Liqing felt that her conversation tonight had been a failure! Originally, he had wanted to come here to negotiate with Gu Shuhua so that he could stabilize him, calm him down, and get along well. However, he hadn't thought that things would go the other way, heading in the opposite direction!

Gretchen wiped her eyes and sat on the sofa, sensing the precarious state of the family. Gu Shuhua seemed to have already made up his mind. He would never listen to another's words again. Even if Granny tried to persuade him, it would probably be to no avail.

Then, should he really go along with what he wanted and end everything that had happened between them? Letting him go, and also giving him a portion of freedom?

Gu Liqing repeatedly asked in her heart, Where should I go from here?

No matter how she thought about it, she still couldn't accept the dissolution of this family. At least for now! Right now, it was a crucial moment. Gu Shuhua's matter had just ended, but the battle between her and Jiang Can had just begun. She could not let Jiang Can see her misfortune, and she could not give him this opportunity! Didn't he want her house to be torn apart? Wasn't he just thinking of getting Gu Shuhua to mess with her family? No, no matter what, he could not let it break at this moment. Even if he had to leave, even if he had to break, he would do it later!

Gu Liqing firmly decided in her heart.

Gu Shuhua watched as Gu Liqing resolutely left, then locked the door. He knew that his words tonight had deeply stung this woman's heart! He had destroyed Zian's family background and even proposed to be a paternity test. This was the biggest blow to Gu Liqing!

He also felt that he had gone too far! But, he had to say it! And tonight! He could no longer tolerate such a gloomy day! He no longer wanted to live shamelessly in the Spring River! If he was to live like this, he would rather die! As a man, he had lived until he was in his thirties, yet he had lived to such a pathetic state. How could he still have the face to live? Sometimes, he really wanted to end this wretched life of his! Why did she want to operate on him then? If she let him die, wouldn't everything be fine? Didn't he have to endure this pain? Why should he sacrifice one of his mother's kidneys to save him? "To let him live so guiltily, it must be extremely painful!

Now, as long as he thought of how his life was given by his mother and how his second life was given by her, he wouldn't be able to make a decision so easily, because the harm to his parents was too great. If he couldn't live, then his home wouldn't exist! So, he had to live, and live well at that! Therefore, he did not want to live in such a pathetic manner. He had to change, change this half-dead state! He wanted to get a divorce and walk out of the Spring River. He refused to believe that, given the size of this world, he would not be able to find a place to live! Even if he ran into a wall, even if he had to suffer and suffer, he would go out and give it a try. If he stayed in the Spring River, he would suffocate to death sooner or later!

Leave, we have to leave! He had to go, he had to go! Gu Shuhua told himself in his heart.

CHAPTER 404 - THIS KIND OF MADNESS

No one could change this!

Gu Liqing had been disturbed by Gu Shuhua's words to the point that she almost didn't sleep well for the night, but Gu Shuhua, for the first time ever, had a good night's sleep! He had thought it through, understood it, and no longer had any doubts. He was determined to resolve his own thoughts to live out his own sky. Then, he would be at ease! No matter what was in front of him, he would face it head on!

The next morning, when Gu Liqing went downstairs to eat breakfast, she saw Gu Shuhua coming down wearing a sports coat.

She had never seen him exercise so leisurely before. Gu Shuhua's image caused Gu Liqing's eyes to light up!

Shuhua, let's have breakfast together? Gretchen said, looking at him.

You go ahead, I'll run! Gu Shuhua drank a cup of water and said.

Oh right, you have to think about what I told you last night. I'm serious! Gu Shuanghua took advantage of the time when his parents were not in the dining room to speak to Gu Liqing.

What is it? Gu Liqing looked at Gu Shuhua, puzzled.

Humph! Gu Shuhua let out a breath of air through his nose and walked out of the house.

Looking at the figure of Gu Shuhua's back to her, Gu Liqing was shocked once again. She was afraid that if Gu Shuhua took Zian to be her paternity test, this heavenly secret would be completely revealed! No, no, definitely not! Gretchen thought. How could he stop Gu Shuhua's madness? She pondered this in her mind.

Arriving at the office, Gretchen found it hard to calm down.

Gu Shuhua's words were a huge threat to her! It made it impossible for her to calm down and do anything else. It was imperative that she do everything in her power to preserve her son's reputation, as well as her own.

After giving it some thought, she picked up the phone and called Gu Zhijuan.

It had been a long time since he had called Gu Zhijuan. Zi An was with her. Thanks to her wholehearted care, Gretchen didn't need to worry about him anymore. His son's studies were not bad in all aspects, and Gu Zhijuan's contributions were indispensable.

As for this sister-in-law, she had already decided that at the right time, she would help her righteously build a small spring river. Gretchen believed that she had the ability to make the small spring river more lively and dynamic, and she could give the children a better and more humane education.

Zhijuan … Gretchen called out in a friendly tone.

Sister-in-law, you're such a busy person. How do you have time to call me? I'm too excited to see your phone number! Gu Zhijuan said with a smile on the phone.

Hur hur, I'm busy, but I still have time to make calls! Gretchen smiled and said, How is it? Are you busy too?

That's right. I care about the specific details of the teaching. I'm on the front line every day, and I can't wait to split my students into two! Gu Zhijuan said.

Teaching is no trivial matter. This job is laborious and painstaking. I understand that you've worked hard, and Zian even made you relax. I'm very grateful to you for this. Zhijuan, I know what I'm doing! Gretchen said sincerely.

Sister-in-law, thank you! I should take care of Zian. Zian is my nephew. If I don't take care of him, who would take care of him! Gu Zhijuan said, Sister-in-law, don't be like me. I treat Zian like my own child and love him more than a man.

Hur hur, I know. That's why I have to thank you! You being so nice to Zian has moved me greatly! Zhijuan, your brother hasn't been in a good mood lately. There's something I need your help with."

Gu Zhijuan was immediately shocked when she heard this. I wonder what's going on between brother and sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law, go ahead!

Your brother has been punished recently and isn't in a good mood. If he goes to school to pick up Zian, you tell me. I'll only entrust this matter to you. Just put it in your heart.

Oh … Okay … Gu Zhijuan could not understand. Why? Can't I come to fetch you back when I'm in a bad mood? Moreover, he rarely came to pick up a girl from school! From the time Zian went to school until now, Gu Zhijuan could not recall him ever coming to school, let alone finding the time to take Zian over. However, since her sister-in-law had said so, she would do so. Her sister-in-law's words were very authoritative.

Zhijuan, you rarely come to our house these days. When you're free, come to dinner with Wen Jian and the men. We can also get together and chat. The children also have company. How nice! Gretchen said.

Alright, I'll definitely be there this week! Gu Zhijuan said.

Actually, it wasn't that she didn't have time for the weekend, it was just that she always felt that her sister-in-law was so busy. It wasn't that she didn't have time for the weekend, it was just that she always felt that her sister-in-law was so busy.

Then we'll meet this weekend. Don't forget what I told you. Gretchen said.

Don't worry, I won't forget it! Gu Zhijuan said.

After hanging up, Gu Zhijuan was still somewhat puzzled. Why did he suddenly mention this? 'Is my sister-in-law really making trouble again? ' Sigh, between them, if they could sing with a woman, how many people would be envious of them in the Spring River! For her sister-in-law to reach this position at such a young age, this was something that had never happened before in the history of the Spring River. For the Gu family to have such a daughter-in-law, it could be considered the family's most glorious marriage! No wonder mom treats sister-in-law so well! However, the relationship between her and her brother didn't seem so harmonious. Gu Zhijuan sighed in her heart.

However, it would be too inhumane if the child was caught in the middle. The child was innocent and could not become a victim to the conflict between husband and wife! Gu Zhijuan only thought of this, but didn't think of anything else.

However, she would definitely carry out her sister-in-law's orders well.

Gretchen hung up the phone and continued to sit in her chair. Her thoughts were still distracted, unable to return to her work.

Zian's case was really just a bomb. If Gu Shuhua insisted on detonating it, she would be too embarrassed to continue staying in the Spring River. So Jiang's purpose in coming to strike at her was completely accomplished, and she almost broke down on her own. She didn't even need to go to Li Jiancai to get that account book, as she would be the first to be eliminated. Gu Liqing never thought that Jiang Chen's ambush on Gu Shuhua would bring about such serious consequences.

She had thought that Gu Shuhua would be punished and this matter would be over. Who would have thought that this butterfly effect was causing her to be unable to endure! No, they definitely could not let him continue to act so arrogantly! I must stop him! This person was completely mad now. His actions would force her to push this home into an irreparable abyss! If being disloyal to him before was considered a crime, then what he was doing now was even more so! What he was going to destroy would be an innocent child, a rising star in the political arena, a seemingly happy family! If Gu Shuhua could be more rational, he shouldn't have done such a crazy thing, shouldn't have hurt his family like this! If this matter was exposed, Ji Lanfang would be the most painful one. She would be the one who suffered the most, and her body would not be able to withstand such a blow! Zian was already her heart and soul. She couldn't afford to lose him!

Gu Liqing had her eyes closed. Her mind was in a mess, and she could not calm down for even a moment.

Ding dong ding ding ding ding ding dong … The phone in her pocket rang. This was Gretchen's private number, so not many people knew about it.

She picked up the phone and saw that it was a foreign number.

She answered suspiciously.

Ancient Book Ji, good morning! On the other side of the phone, a man's voice filled with a sense of quality came. For a moment, however, Gu Liqing couldn't tell who it was.

Hehe, I've disturbed you, haven't I? Do you recognize me?

Gretchen searched her mind for the memory of the voice. Oh, yes!

Hello, Big Brother Zhao! Gretchen immediately sat up straight and raised her body eight degrees, the corners of her mouth curving upwards.

This was the call from Eighth Lord's eldest son, Zhao Mingqiang, who was in Shenzhen.

"Heh heh, I thought you wouldn't be able to tell. I didn't expect your memory to be so good. You were able to distinguish my voice even after we met. Zhao Mingqiang said with a smile.

Big Brother, your voice is really nice to listen to! Liqing will remember it after listening to it once! Gretchen said with a smile.

Hehe, then I would be honored! Being able to be remembered by the parents and leaders of your hometown, this is a rare opportunity! Zhao Mingqiang smiled and said, It seems that I can't do anything without helping my sister!

Haha, big brother, I like what you said even more. I'll never forget it for the rest of my life! Gu Liqing also teased with a smile.

I started being busy when I got back from the Spring Festival. I didn't find any time to call you until today. Zhao Mingqiang said, I will remember all the words you said to me during the Spring Festival. After coming back, I will go and find those big groups to hoodwink them. Finally, a few people were tempted by my words and agreed to go to the Spring River.

That's great! Brother, arrange the time properly. Liqing will definitely receive them properly. I promise that I will let them see hope in the Spring River. If they come, they won't want to leave anymore!" Gu Liqing said with some excitement.

Haha, that's good. I also hope that they won't leave and will be able to develop the Spring River even better … Zhao Mingqiang said with a smile, Those who are initially interested are the top 100 national real estate company, Wanda Real Estate, the Free Wind Corporation, which is involved in the import and export trade of ceramics, the Fukang Crystal Group, which is involved in the production of substitute workers, and the Chairman of the Xiong Family, who specializes in finding projects with funds...

Hehe, Big Brother, I am so happy and excited that you managed to pull so many big business bosses from all over the country over to Spring River! Listening to you talk about these enterprises, I seem to see the future of the Spring River! As long as they come to Spring River, I believe they will be willing to stay. Gretchen said.

Well, I also believe that you have the ability to keep them. However, this matter cannot be rushed. After all, Chunjiang is only a small city, and neither hardware nor software can compare with a big city, Zhao said. These enterprises had been established along the coast for many years, and now some needed to be converted, some needed to be expanded, but their needs were different. In order to attract them, they need to have projects that they want to invest in, and the local investment climate is very important. "

Yes, big brother's words are reasonable. It's all up to Big Brother! Gretchen said.

I think this way, you still don't know much about these companies and bosses. I've organized some detailed information, including their development history, background, as well as their boss's personal preferences, I've sorted them out and I'll show them to you first. You need to understand them fully, so that we can communicate with each other in a meaningful way. Take your time to take a good look at these people. After that, I'll arrange for them to go to the Spring River in batches to check out the situation.

"Alright, I will first familiarize myself with their information and try to gain a more detailed understanding of them. As for the specific timing, Big Brother, you just need to determine it based on their time, and then I'll just have to make the necessary adjustments. Right, we can't hold the National Blood Control Conference in the beginning of June or the beginning of June at the Spring River.

CHAPTER 405 - IDEOLOGICAL GAP

Heh heh, this is a good thing! With such a big meeting being held in the Spring River, it would be a good opportunity to raise the image of the Spring River. All kinds of infrastructure and urban image engineering could also be upgraded. I think this is how it is. Before the meeting, I will try my best to arrange for an examination, and after the meeting, I will arrange for an examination. I will arrange for a second time, and after the meeting, I will decide for myself on a course of action. In the end, a businessman was just a word of profit. A businessman was not interested in matters without benefits. In particular, they have all gone with this clear purpose, which makes it all the more important to do a good job of it. " Zhao Mingqiang said.

What big brother says is right. You know them better, you handle it. In this matter, Liqing can only rely on big brother. Gretchen said.

Oh right, according to the general examination procedures, you can also suggest to go to the other party's company and have a look at the strength of the company. This is also a preliminary understanding. This way, when you go back, you will be able to do the same. Zhao Mingqiang said, See if your time can be arranged. If possible, I can receive you here first.

Haha, big brother has thought it through very carefully. I also want to go out and see, especially in the coastal developed cities, their urban management and urban planning, and, more importantly, the level of management of these enterprises. Let's do it this way, big brother. I'll finish looking through your information and settle the matters at hand. Let's see what time it is, I'll contact you about the details later. Gu Liqing said with some excitement.

Sure, I'll send the documents to you in your mailbox. Give me your email address! Zhao Mingqiang said.

Gu Liqing immediately gave her QQ mailbox to Zhao Mingqiang.

In fact, she rarely used her mailbox. This kind of modern communication device had already become an indispensable item in the hands of many people. However, in this small city, especially in the hands of a group of staff like her, it was rarely touched.

This was the difference in philosophy.

Gretchen felt that she had to strengthen her use of the web as well. Now the Internet has become more and more influential in the lives of ordinary people. Many things were exposed through the internet and caused a sensation, causing irreparable consequences.

There were quite a few cadres who had failed miserably like this. Jiang could have come in two dozen at the time of the construction of such a loss.

Gu Liqing found out that there was an official on the internet recently. Because the cigarettes from the meeting were placed on the table, he was caught by the reporters and photographed. When she zoomed in to take a look, she discovered that it was a sky-high price cigarette, and from that sky-high price cigarette, she started to get attention. The leader's clothes were also magnified and pulled out, and he was covered with famous brands all over. With such a big problem, it seemed like the leader would not be able to handle it in the end!

Thinking of this, Gu Liqing opened the computer on the table and logged in her QQ, ready to receive the email sent by Zhao Mingqiang.

The QQ was requested by Gu Liqing in order to contact the other members of Jiangyou Group's Qingqian class. In the past, those classmates came from all over the province, and now they all held important positions in various places and Jiangyou Group's provincial organizations. They didn't have many opportunities to meet each other, but through QQ contact, they became much more convenient and felt that the distance was closer. This was the advantage of the internet age.

However, Gu Liqing rarely went to Q everyday. Firstly, she was rather busy at work, and secondly, her mood wasn't too good these days. There were too many complicated matters, so she didn't have the leisure to do so.

After logging in to QQ, Gu Liqing saw that there was a lot of news in Qingqian class, so she carefully read it.

Heh! Everyone was still having fun exchanging words with each other!

Due to her conversation with Zhao Mingqiang earlier, Gu Liqing's mood had improved and she had joined in the conversation.

Gu Liqing was an inactive person and rarely showed her face in the group. Now that she had appeared, everyone felt that it was very new and started to chat immediately!

Just as Gu Liqing was happily chatting with her classmates in the group, a portrait appeared in the lower right corner, flickering non-stop. Gu Liqing opened it and saw that it was the planning director of the provincial land and resources department, Liu Guannan.

Hello! Beautiful Calligraphy! Liu Guannan said.

Heh heh, hello, Liu Ci. Gretchen smiled in her heart.

Liu Guannan was one of the many students in the Qingqian class. He liked to write some sour words and was known as Liu Yong. The last time before the New Year party, Liu Guannan also replayed his talent on the spot.

You guys have a school building project in Spring River, do you remember that? Liu Guannan said.

Remember, this is Chunjiang's big project. He had already submitted it to the provincial hall for approval, but there was still no news of it! Gretchen said.

It was the first project for Gu Liqing to fight with Jiang Neng after she took office. Jiang Nao was opposed to it at the time, but when the people went to Long River to cause trouble, Jiang Nao came to compromise, and finally came to a unified opinion, reporting to the provincial hall for approval.

Let me tell you something, old classmate. This project is related to the country's basic farmland, so it cannot be approved for the time being. Liu Guannan said.

Oh... Because she was so busy, Gu Liqing had basically forgotten to ask about it. It had been so long since he came down, but it turned out that he had gotten stuck on the ground.

Old classmate, you are from the planning department, give Chunjiang a bit of harmony, when that time comes, Chunjiang will not forget you. Gretchen said.

Hehe, I wish I had that much power. Liu Guannan said.

Then help us think of a way, and see how we can do it so that it becomes legal and can be approved as soon as possible. Gretchen said.

Your project report will have to be rewritten to change the nature of the land use and to turn basic farmland into ordinary farmland so that it can be approved. Liu Guannan said.

Good! Thank you for reminding me. Gretchen said.

She wondered why these people from the Bureau of Lands couldn't even do something like this. The nature of the land used for the project was completely wrong. How could he do things well?

Gu Liqing immediately called Wang Tao, the head of the education board, and Li Qinxiong, the country's chief, into her office.

Li Qingxiong rarely came to Gu Liqing's office, so he was a bit nervous. What was Gu Liqing looking for him for?

In order to reform her education, Gu Liqing often met with him and communicated with him. As a teacher, Gretchen always had a good fantasy about education, hoping to release her students' personality and allow them to develop better. However, this was easier said than done. If you don't do it, you will be left out of the police force. When the results of the entrance exams are last in the city, then, when Guo Tao goes to a meeting, he will have to secretly sit in the last row, not having the face to meet anyone.

The construction project department of the No. 1 Middle School of the New Spring River has never been approved. Do you know the specific reason? Gu Liqing looked at Li Qingxiong and asked.

I asked around, they said our land is not allowed to be approved, it's a basic farmland, within the 1.8 billion mu of farmland protection zone, it's impossible to apply for large-scale infrastructure. Li Qingxiong said.

Why didn't I think of changing the nature of the land when I applied? Since this project must be built, we must first do our job well. In that case, how much time will be wasted if we make a big turn and return to the starting point? " Gu Liqing looked at Li Qingxiong and said.

The nature of this land can be changed, but it cannot be changed as one pleases. It must also be approved by the provincial council, and at the same time, be replaced by an appropriate area of land. For example, if you have 300 mu of basic farmland to be expropriated, then you need to have a corresponding area of land to supplement it. Right now, the country is very strict on a large area of land, so land replacement is being done everywhere to exchange for more building land." Li Qingxiong said.

In that case, you must find a way to do a good job. If the system is dead and a person is alive, how can a living person hold their pants in so much? Gretchen said with some displeasure.

This... Alright …" Li Qingxiong said with difficulty.

Actually, it was easy to say that he needed to make a land exchange, but actually making a land exchange was extremely difficult. It wasn't that Li Qingxiong didn't want to do
