Not long after, the sound of a car driving came from the other side of Building 6.
Shen Huai went around to the east side of the lake's Metasequoia forest and saw two black Nisans driving over. They had a " Huai A " license plate and were led by the police car from Donghua City Bureau. They stopped in the parking lot in front of Building 6.
Chen Mingde was a provincial cadre. When such a thing happened, the province immediately sent people and Chen Mingde's family to Donghua to handle the funeral. It was inevitable.
The highway between Donghua and the provincial capital was still under construction. Taking the provincial highway would take a detour of 240 to 50 kilometers. To be able to reach Donghua at this time meant that the provincial capital had received the news and reacted very quickly.
Immediately after, Shen Huai saw Gao Tianhe's black crown car following them. It happened to enter the South Park right after the people from the province. It made people wonder if Gao Tianhe had been waiting outside the gate all along.
Wearing a dark blue suit, Gao Tianhe, who had a dark face and a medium build, got out of the car first. He walked to the front of the first Nirvana car and opened the door for a middle-aged man with a wide face and a broken left eyebrow.
Shen Huai thought to himself,"When I called Second Uncle, I heard someone mention 'Minister Tan' over the phone. It should be this person, right?"
He wasn't sure if his second uncle had mentioned him when he was talking to Minister Tan, but the opportunity to turn the situation around was just a split second. When he saw Wu Haifeng coming out of the corridor, Shen Huai also strode over from the lake...
At this moment, Wu Haifeng was dissatisfied with Gao Tianhe's lack of appearance. Shen Huai knew that his only chance was to attack first before Gao Tianhe and Wu Haifeng reached a tacit understanding. He would disrupt their formation and make these two old dogs suspicious of each other and bite each other...
Before taking this step, Shen Huai had considered the consequences of completely offending Gao Tianhe and Wu Haifeng.
At first, he was a little hesitant, but then he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
In the past, he was just a nobody in the steel factory. He couldn't afford to offend Ge Yongqiu and Peng Yong, not to mention Wu Haifeng and Gao Tianhe.
Shen Huai knew how important people like Gao Tianhe and Ge Yongqiu were in Donghua. Even if he had thrown himself out in the past, he had to consider that his family would not be retaliated after the incident.
Who was he now?
Although he was deserted and couldn't be banished back to Beijing, he was still a member of the Song Family.
He had beaten up Ge Yongqiu's brother-in-law in front of him in the city steel factory. Was he afraid of offending Gao Tianhe and Ge Yongqiu even more?
In Dong Hua, he was considered a bachelor without any worries. As the saying went, the barefooted were not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. Why would he be afraid that Gao Tianhe and Ge Yongqiu would take revenge on the Song Family?
*****************
Wu Haifeng forced Gao Tianhe into hiding, but he chose the right time to show his face. The deputy director of the provincial organization department, who was representing the provincial government, saw him arrive at the Nanyuan Hotel. He was not with Wu Haifeng, the secretary of the municipal party committee.
Gao Tianhe held Tan Qiping's hand with a solemn look and said,""Minister Tan, both Hai Feng and I are deeply saddened by what happened. But there's an extremely important investment promotion event in the city, and I've only been able to leave now. I feel very ashamed of Comrade Mingde…"
In just a few words, he had removed himself from this matter.
Gao Tianhe didn't say anything else. He just held Tan Qiping's hand to show that he was in pain.
Tan Qiping's face was calm, but his heart was not.
When Dong Hua reported Chen Mingde's death, it was vague. The provincial party committee realized that the nature of the matter might be a little serious, so they temporarily sent him to accompany Chen Mingde's family to Dong Hua to deal with the funeral.
On Tan Qiping's way to Donghua, Donghua Municipal Party Secretary Wu Haifeng reported the details of the emergency rescue to the province. He died naked in a hotel room. It was hard not to think of that kind of thing. Tan Qiping felt that things were complicated on the way...
Chen Mingde was a cadre of Donghua sent by the provincial government. If he died suddenly because of a love affair, the province would be very passive.
Of course, as Song Hua's secretary, Chen Mingde had gradually risen in the political arena. He had always been regarded as an important branch of the Song family in Huaihai Province. If he was involved in this kind of unspeakable and unclear vicious incident, it would also be a huge blow to the Song family.
Tan Qiping's father and the Song family's old man, Song Hua, were old comrades for many years.
Although Mr. Tan had been working in Guangnan Province for a long time after the liberation, and he died early in the 1970s due to the impact, and the descendants of the Tan family did not have close contact with the Song family, the two families had some affection.
Although Tan Qiping had exchanged opinions with Song Qiaosheng on the phone along the way, the two of them felt that this matter was unusually tricky. They did not have a good plan and could only take it one step at a time.
Tan Qiping stood in front of the car door, waiting for Wu Haifeng to come down the stairs and shake hands with him. He seemed to be greeting Gao Tianhe, but he was secretly pondering Gao Tianhe's words. Since Gao Tianhe had gotten rid of him, he only needed to convince Wu Haifeng.
Although Wu Haifeng was unhappy when he heard Gao Tianhe's words, he didn't think too much about it. He didn't even realize that Ge Yongqiu and Peng Yong had done a lot of tricks.
"Comrade Mingde returned to the South Park Hotel to rest at noon. He specially instructed the staff on duty not to disturb him. It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that the hotel realized that Comrade Mingde had not left his room, so they went upstairs and knocked on the door. What's regrettable is that the hotel found out too late and missed the opportunity to save him. Comrade Mingde has already left us forever…"
Tan Qiping was representing the province to accompany Chen Mingde's family to Donghua to handle the funeral. Gao Tianhe had already removed himself, so Wu Haifeng had to personally introduce Chen Mingde's illness and rescue situation to Tan Qiping.
Wu Haifeng chose his words carefully and didn't want to say anything more. He pointed at Peng Yong and the others behind him and said to Tan Qiping and the others,"" Peng Yong is the Deputy Secretary General of the Donghua City Government and the manager of the South Park Hotel. Comrade Mingde unfortunately passed away due to illness. Peng Yong was the first to discover it. He was also involved in the rescue process and knew the situation the best. He will report the specific situation to Minister Tan…"
From Wu Haifeng's emotionless introduction, Tan Qiping couldn't hear much information. It was even simpler than Wu Haifeng's report to the provincial party committee on the phone.
After all, Chen Mingde's wife was right next to him. It was better for her to find out about Chen Mingde's sudden death in the room when she went upstairs and saw Chen Mingde's body.
When they left the province, Tan Qiping was in the car. He did not tell his wife about the specific situation before and after Chen Mingde's death.
Tan Qiping felt that it was a mistake to do so. If Chen Mingde's lover went upstairs and saw the naked body, he would lose control of his emotions. This would only make the province more passive.
Tan Qiping knew that it would be rude not to be the first to see Chen Mingde's body, but he could only bite the bullet and say," Then let Manager Peng explain the specific situation first..." Thinking about Chen Mingde's lover, the impact of hearing the specific situation from someone else's introduction should be less than seeing a naked body directly.
Everyone turned their bodies sideways and prepared to let Tan Qiping and Chen Mingde's lover enter the building first. Then, they heard someone shouting from behind,"Aunty Tao, Aunty Tao…"
Tan Qiping turned around and saw a young man striding over. At the same time, he noticed that Wu Haifeng, the secretary of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, frowned when he saw the young man.
"Secretary Sun, Secretary Wu asked you to go back and rest. What are you doing here?”Ge Yongqiu saw that Shen Huai had returned and stepped on the steps. He turned around and asked.
Shen Huai ignored Ge Yongqiu and looked at Tan Qiping. He thought that he should be the " Minister Tan " that he heard from his second uncle on the phone. He was really ignorant in the past and did not know much about the human relations in the province. However, the province would only send a senior official to Donghua to deal with this kind of thing. Shen Huai was not afraid of mistaking him for someone else.
Shen Huai glanced at Tan Qiping, then turned to Wu Haifeng and said,"Although my left shoulder is injured, but Chief Chen died suddenly due to illness. How can I rest in peace?”
Chen Mingde's lover had been hit by the bad news and was also too sad. She had cried and fainted a few times in the car. At this moment, she was so weak that she could not speak. Although she usually had a bad impression of this young man, Shen Huai was the only person she knew in Donghua and the only person she could rely on a little. She turned around and walked down the steps. She asked in a hoarse voice,"Little Shen, what happened to Old Chen?”
Shen Huai threw caution to the wind and ignored Wu Haifeng's raised eyebrows. He continued," If only I had insisted on staying by Chief Chen's side when he asked me to recuperate, if only I had taken good care of him, if only I had reminded him not to shower in the cold, if only I had reminded the hotel to provide hot water in time, if only I had stayed by his side when he had a heart attack and discovered it in time, none of these things would have happened…I've let Chief Chen down, and I've let down Aunt Tao's instructions to me when I left the provincial capital!”
When Shen Huai said these words, he almost believed himself. Tears and snot flowed down his face without caring about his image. He looked like he was in grief and self-reproach, wishing that he could die in Chen Mingde's place.
Chen Huai's words seemed unintentional, but his words were like a bolt of lightning striking into everyone's hearts.
"You are Shen Huai?" Tan Qiping was not a simple person. From Shen Huai's short words, he quickly understood another explanation for Chen Mingde's cause of death. Chen Mingde took a cold shower at noon, and his heart could not withstand the stimulation and passed away.
This information was too crucial. This was almost the only chance for Tan Qiping to seize the initiative.
Tan Qiping was also a little hesitant. When Song Qiaosheng mentioned his nephew on the phone, it sounded very unreliable, but he could not care too much at this time. He separated from the crowd and walked down the steps. He reached out and pressed on Shen Huai's shoulder, asking,"Why weren't you by Chen Mingde's side when he had a heart attack?”
When Wu Haifeng saw Shen Huai rush out, he frowned and was about to flare up. However, the development of the situation was like two bolts of lightning striking his heart.
Firstly, Shen Huai's words clearly pointed out that Chen Mingde's heart was stimulated by the shower and he died suddenly.
Secondly, Tan Qiping's actions indicated that he and Shen Huai had a tacit understanding.
