The news of Chen Mingde's death was strictly controlled even within South Park.
Although the staff of the other buildings knew that something big had happened in Building 6, they did not know how serious it was.
When Shen Huai walked into the main building of South Park, a staff member came over and asked,"Secretary Shen, what happened after that?”
"…What are you asking about?" Shen Huai blocked the staff member's mouth and ordered," Get me a room. Don't get involved in this or that."
His phone was running out of battery. Shen Huai needed a place where he could think calmly and contact Yanjing.
Although Gao Tianhe and Ge Yongqiu were not directly targeting the Song family, Chen Mingde was the secretary of the Song family's old man, Song Hua. As an official of the Song family, his death was related to the affair. It would definitely hurt the Song family.
Even if it was for himself, Shen Huai could not watch helplessly as the situation developed in the worst direction.
In the room, Shen Huai stood in front of the bedside table and stared at the phone for a while. He remembered a few numbers from Yanjing, but he was hesitant to call them.
Shen Huai thought that in his current situation, other than asking Yanjing for help, he really couldn't think of anything else. He picked up the phone and dialed a string of unfamiliar numbers that had nothing to do with him.
Thinking that he was just a soul passing by in this body, taking on someone else's identity, listening to the " du…" sound on the other end of the phone, Shen Huai could not help but feel a little guilty.
After a while, the other end of the line picked up the phone and Wen Wanrou's voice came through.""Hello, who are you looking for…"
It was as if the images stored in his memory were being moved out. The image of a middle-aged woman with a graceful appearance and a graceful and noble bearing flashed in Chen Huai's mind.
On the other end of the phone was his stepmother, who had married into the Song family when he was twelve.
Although Shen Huai had previously regarded this woman as a shameless piece of trash, if one were to evaluate her seriously, she was still a very beautiful woman. Otherwise, she would not have been able to capture the heart of Shen Huai's father, Song Bingsheng.
Although she was already half old, her beauty was very well inherited from her daughter who married into the Song family with her.
Thinking of all the terrible things that had happened in the past, Chen Huai felt his throat go dry. He said with difficulty,""Auntie, I'm Shen Huai…"
"..." The other end of the phone was silent for a moment before saying," I'm sorry, you have the wrong number." Then, the call ended cleanly.
Chen Huai smiled bitterly, but he could not say anything.
The mistake that Shen Huai had made previously was unforgivable. He really could not blame the other party for not even saying a word.
He thought that if he called his father directly, it would probably be the same result, but Sun Huai couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. If he couldn't help the Song Family, how could he turn the situation around?
Shen Huai then dialed Chen Mingde's phone in the provincial capital. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Chen Mingde's family in the provincial capital must have been on their way to Dong Hua after receiving the notice.
Nowadays, cell phones and cell phones were still rare items. Other than businessmen or official needs, ordinary people could not afford to use them.
Shen Huai lay on the bed with his clothes and shoes. After thinking calmly for a moment, he made up his mind to call Second Uncle.
As the deputy head of the Central Organization Department, Song Qiaosheng was Shen Huai's second uncle and also the political successor appointed by the Song family's old man, Song Hua. He was the most sensitive person in the Song family and also the second generation leader who had the smoothest career development.
Shen Huai believed that Second Uncle would definitely see through the seriousness of this matter and would definitely treat it seriously.
He dialed the number and a young voice answered.
Shen Huai went to Yanjing to study abroad after studying in middle school. After the drunken rape incident, he was thrown to Huaihai and did not return to Yanjing for about five to six years. In the past five to six years, he had only met his father three or four times. He had almost never met the other members of the Song family. It could be said that he was truly abandoned.
The other party claimed to be Song Qiaosheng's secretary, but Shen Huai had no impression of her.
After a long while, an unfamiliar and deep voice sounded."I already know about Donghua. I will handle it. Shen Huai, you are in Donghua. Don't do anything out of line..."
Just as Shen Huai was about to reveal the conspiracy behind his back, he heard someone calling Song Qiaosheng," Minister Song, Minister Tan from Huaihai Province is already on his way to Donghua. He wants to talk to you..."
Without waiting for Shen Huai to speak, Song Qiaosheng placed the phone on the table and walked away, letting the phone ring.
" Hello, hello..." After a long time, no one answered the phone. It was obvious that the other party had forgotten that there was someone waiting for a call.
Shen Huai wanted to smash the phone.
No matter how rotten his life was and how bad his behavior was, being ignored and belittled like this still made Shen Huai angry. He cursed hatefully, You know how to deal with it. You don't even know what Gao Tianhe and the others are up to. How can you deal with it?
Shen Huai was angry and felt helpless and powerless for the current situation. He even gave up on himself and thought,
Even if things turn into a mess, even if the Song family is trampled under someone else's feet because of this matter, what does it have to do with me?
Could my situation be worse?
Of course, if he said that it had nothing to do with him, it would be out of anger.
He was no longer the rebellious Shen Huai who only wanted to bring unhappiness to the Song family. He could still weigh the pros and cons behind it.
Although he was abandoned by the Song family and had been sidelined by the Song family, he was young and ignorant. He could come to Dong Hua with Chen Mingde and serve as the full-time secretary of the deputy chief of the Standing Committee. In the end, wasn't it because of the Song family?
As long as the Song family did not fall, he would still have a chance to get back on track. Even if it did not work out, he would still be protected by Yu Yin. No matter what, the interests of the Song family had to be protected first.
Even if he couldn't understand his actions for the time being, he wouldn't waste his effort to protect the Song family's interests...
Even if he cut off the interests of the Song family and did not consider it, he could not stand by and do nothing for his own interests.
If the province determined that Chen Mingde died of illness while working, as Chen Mingde's secretary and Chen Mingde's only confidant in Dong Hua, he would at least get some comforting arrangements. Perhaps there would be other compensation.
If Chen Mingde really died on a woman's belly, as Chen Mingde's secretary, wouldn't he be thrown aside like dog poop?
*****************
As time passed, the phone in Second Uncle's office had obviously been forgotten, so Shen Huai could not contact Second Uncle for the time being.
He was like a trapped beast, sitting in the room, watching the night grow darker, but he couldn't think of a countermeasure.
Thinking that sitting in the room was not a solution, Shen Huai went downstairs again. He walked around the metasequoia forest on the west side of the South Park to the lakeside. Standing in the shadow of the lakeside, he could see the brightly lit sixth building clearly.
Almost all the windows to the lake were open, allowing Shen Huai to see the expressions on the faces of the people in the building.
The people in the building did not expect that someone would be peeping at the small tree by the lake at this time.
The two police officers from the municipal bureau were still guarding the corridor. The two doctors and two staff members who participated in the rescue were still guarding the lobby on the ground floor. It could be seen that they had barely moved their feet up until now.
Ge Yongqiu, Peng Yong, and the medical expert who led the team to the rescue were still standing in the living room on the second floor. They did not communicate with each other and seemed to be observing the development of the situation.
Zhou Yu was nowhere to be seen, and Wu Haifeng, the secretary of the municipal party committee, was pacing in a small room, seemingly unable to make up his mind. Even when he opened the door and walked back to the living room, he still seemed a little impatient.
Ge Yongqiu looked at Wu Haifeng with uncertainty and worry…
This subtle expression made Shen Huai understand that Ge Yongqiu and Wu Haifeng didn't have a tacit understanding when it came to determining the cause of Chen Mingde's death.
Thinking about it, this was normal. Ge Yongqiu was Gao Tianhe's man, and it was rare for a local chief to have a good relationship with the Municipal Party Committee. Thinking of this, Shen Huai felt strange. It was fine if the other standing committee members and deputy secretaries did not show up, but why had Gao Tianhe not shown up yet?
While Shen Huai was puzzled, on the second floor, Wu Haifeng also questioned Ge Yongqiu loudly,"Why isn't Chief Gao here yet?”
Ge Yongqiu's voice was very soft, so Shen Huai couldn't hear it clearly. However, he could see the expression on Wu Haifeng's face, which was filled with dissatisfaction and impatience.
"Minister Tan from the province is about to arrive at Dong Hua. Call Minister Gao and tell him that no matter what, he has to put it aside for the time being." Gao Tianhe was a soldier and was famous for his loud voice in Donghua. Even if he spoke in a low voice, it sounded like he was scolding someone loudly.
Wu Haifeng insisted that Gao Tianhe come forward, and Shen Huai could understand." Making an issue out of Chen Mingde's death was of great importance. If it succeeded, it would be extremely beneficial to the local forces. If they failed, the political risks were not hard to imagine.
Even if Wu Haifeng died, he wanted to drag someone down with him.
Obviously, Gao Tianhe was still hiding. He wanted to stir up trouble, but he didn't want to take any political risks.
What would Wu Haifeng think if he knew that Gao Tianhe had been controlling Ge Yongqiu and Peng Yong from the back?
What would Wu Haifeng think if he knew that he had been led by Gao Tianhe from the beginning to the end?
Shen Huai suddenly understood. Although Wu Haifeng and Gao Tianhe had the same stance on foreign affairs, they both wanted to bite off a piece of each other's flesh. In most places in the country, it was impossible for the chief of the city and the secretary of the municipal party committee to get along.
Letting Wu Haifeng and Gao Tianhe fight each other might be the only chance to turn the tables.
