Chapter 315 The Public Trial
“Excuse . I have to answer the phone.” Gu Luan says and stands to go away.
He stops at a corner and presses the answer button, “Hello, Section Chief Li.”
“Director Gu still rembers . That is really an honor for .”
“I surely rember you. Section Chief Li is busy. What are you calling for?”
“Well...Ah...Does Director Gu rember what we talked about last ti? I am calling for double confirmation.”
Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows, “You an to give Director Xia a long vacation? I also have this plan. However, we have got a lot of activities recently in the Weekly and we have to postpone the vacation for Director Xia for now. I am really sorry.”
“Do you an that Xia Ning is still at work?” In an instant, Section Chief Li changes his tone, “Director Gu, don’t you know this is the top managent’s decision?”
“Top managent’s decision? I really don’t know, because I have not received any official docunts about that. Besides, if I give Director Xia a long vacation, it is hard for to report to the headquarters of the company. I hope Section Chief Li can understand.”
“Do you an that I said sothing recklessly?”
“No. No. I am only a normal citizen. I don’t dare to say anything bad about Section Chief Li. I only tell the truth. It is really hard for to properly report to the company.”
Section Chief Li feels stuck. Seemingly, he can’t get rid of this issue by just a call.
“Gu Luan.” Section Chief Li says in a deep voice, “I may tell you honestly. You have to do as I said. Or, you will have so trouble. Doesn’t Xia only a normal woman? You have great expectation. It is unnecessary for you to get involved in trouble because of this small issue. You may think it over carefully.”
Gu Luan sneers at Section Chief Li in his heart, “It is an era of free news. If I can’t protect my people, I am not qualified to be the Director of World Era Weekly! Section Chief Li, excuse . I still have got sothing to deal with. I may hang up.”
Gu Luan hangs up the phone.
“Any troubles?”
Davis’s voice is heard. Gu Luan turns around. He thinks for a while and responds, “Troubles not for , but Ning.”
Davis’s eyes gleam. The bright smile on his face disappears. He doesn’t look nice as usual. He asks, “Soone gives threats?”
Gu Luan nods, “Soone from the Organization Departnt of the Central Committee called, telling to give Ning a long vacation. It was said to be a long vacation. Actually, he was telling to suspend her from her duty. It is a little complicated. So internal profits may get involved. Boss, what do you think I should do?”
Apparently, Davis Leon is Gu Luan’s friend, a rich playboy. Actually, Davis’s real identity is known to few people.
One of his identities is the CEO of World Era Weekly.
Davis lifts his eyebrows. He puts on an evil smile, “Then, let him taste the flavor of bitter coffee.”
Davis and Gu Luan leave. Leng Weiwei plays her phone while Xia Ning is eating ice cream. Wan Liqing glances at Xia Ning sharply from ti to ti.
Xia Ning mildly turns around. She rolls her eyes.
When does Wan Liqing beco such a an person?
“Director Xia, where is Commander Yi? I don’t see him these days.” Wan Liqing asks.
Xia Ning feels that her heart aches, “He has sothing to deal with in the army.”
“Oh.” Wan Liqing slightly lifts her lips, “I heard that army n need to obey the confidentiality agreent. Did your husband ntion anything about the army to you? To be honest, if my husband did the sa, I wouldn’t be able to bear that, because I can’t know what he is doing. Even when he has won outside, I can’t keep him under control.”
Xia Ning frowns, “I trust my husband.”
“Seemingly, you love each other. That is enviable.”
“Don’t envy . You may find your man in the future.” Xia Ning indifferently responds.
Wan Liqing changes her color, “I don’t want to have a man of playboy style. However, to be honest, so won are really shaless. They have a man of their own already, but they still stick to soone else’s n! Be careful about the consequences!”
Xia Ning darkens her face, wondering whether Wan Liqing would feel uncomfortable if she doesn’t quarrel with her?
At the ti, Xia Ning’s phone rings. It is Yi Yunrui.
Xia Ning feels glad. She presses the answer button at once, “Rui...”
“Have you had lunch?”
“Hum.” Xia Ning glances at the ti. It is past two in the afternoon. She wonders why Yi Yunrui asks about her lunch at this ti. She asks, “What about you?”
“I have just had lunch. Have you co back to C City?”
“Not yet. Director Gu said that we would stay for so more days. Can I call you?”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while and responds, “Let call you instead.”
Xia Ning feels her heart tightened. The ominous feeling in her heart becos more obvious!
What...is Rui hiding?
“Have als on ti and have rest on ti. When you want to eat anything, or buy anything, go ahead. And, rember to miss .”
“Hum.” Xia Ning listens to Yi Yunrui and feels sweet in her heart. However, there is bitterness in the sweetness.
“I have to handle sothing here. I may hang up.”
“OK...” Xia Ning has not finished her words when Yi Yunrui has hung up his phone, as if he is in a hurry.
It is in the headquarters of the central army departnt.
“Commander Yi.” The guard salutes Yi Yunrui politely, “The General Commander is waiting for you inside. Please leave all your communication instrunts here. Thank you.”
Yi Yunrui strokes the screen of his phone and nods. He puts the phone into the black box.
“Commander Yi, this way, please.
It is in the Amusent Park.
Wan Liqing is aware of the displeasure on Xia Ning’s face. She asks, “Did Commander Yi call?”
Xia Ning nods.
“Anything happens? You look unhappy.”
Xia Ning hesitates. She realizes that it is Wan Liqing here, who is different from how she was so years ago. Xia Ning has to be careful with her.
Xia Ning puts her phone aside and smiles, “I am not unhappy. I just told him not to bring too many gifts to when he cos back. He is busy with real business! I don’t want to hear people talk nonsense.”
“Did you?” Wan Liqing puts on a false smile, “People say that showing off love will end the relation. Director Xia, you’d better hide your happiness. Don’t have it grabbed by other people.”
Xia Ning puts on a bigger smile, “Director Wan thinks too much. If it can be grabbed away, it is gone a long ti ago. In addition, sothing belong to you will always be yours. Those can be grabbed away don’t belong to you and you have to learn to let go.”
Wan Liqing freezes her face. She clenches her hands tightly, “You...”
Xia Ning takes a big mouthful of ice cream and puts on a winning smile. At the ti, her phone rings again.
Can it be Yi Yunrui again?
Xia Ning sincerely expects that. However, she sees the number on the screen and feels her heart sinking all of a sudden!
It is i Ruo.
“Hello, Colonel i.”
“Hello, Mrs. Yi.”
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. i Ruo speaks in a very odd tone. Xia Ning asks, “Colonel i, what are you calling for?”
“Yunrui said that you were on a business trip. Are you?”
Xia Ning feels her heart tightened, “Are you with Rui?”
“Ha. Ha! Mrs. Yi, you are suspicious. Anyway, you are right this ti. I am with Yi Yunrui.”
“Are you in Beijing, too?”
“Yes. Sothing happens to Yunrui. So, I co to Beijing.”
Hearing her words, Xia Ning feels panic, “Colonel i, can you tell what happens to Rui?”
“Oh?” i Ruo slightly lifts her voice, “Didn’t Yunrui tell you?”
Xia Ning hears i Ruo use the address Yunrui. She feels very uncomfortable as if it is a thorn. However, i Ruo knows what happens to Yi Yunrui. She has to be patient and withstand it.
“No.” Xia Ning feels that her heart aches. She takes a deep breath, “Please, Colonel i, tell what happened.”
“Well...It is a little inconvenient...”
“I owe you one. Please! I really want to know. Please!”
i Ruo gives a sigh, “Ah. I really can’t stand people’s begging. Well, I may tell you briefly. Don’t tell anyone else. Or, it will bring more trouble to Yunrui.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t tell.”
“The central committee summoned Yunrui to co to Beijing. Apparently, he is told to report on his duty. Actually, it is a public trial. In recent days, Yunrui is making confessions in the headquarters of the Central Army Departnt. Seemingly, it will take so ti to finish. I have nothing to do with him now, but I feel very sorry for him.
The words Public Trial are just like soldering iron forcefully burning Xia Ning’s heart. In an instant, Xia Ning is shocked blankly!
What cri...does Rui commit? Why is he given a public trial?
Xia Ning’s hand trembles with the phone. She turns around to glance at Wan Liqing, who is confusedly looking at her. Xia Ning stands up and goes to a quiet corner. She asks in a low voice, “What is the public trial for?”
“You know Yasi Villa, don’t you? Four years ago, Yunrui sold Yasi Villa to Mayor Yin of the B City. The problem is about the selling amount.”
“What’s the problem?”
“I am not clear about the details. It is said to be a cri of malfeasance of making use of his identity to threaten governntal officials for huge amount of bribe or sothing alike. Anyway, don’t worry. You and I both know what kind of person Yunrui is. He hasn’t done anything illegal. You don’t need to worry about that the central army departnt may declare Yunrui guilty.
Xia Ning feels sweats in her palms when she hears this. She rembers very well that Yasi Villa was really sold at a very high price!
In an instant, Xia Ning rembers that so days ago Shen Mo ca to C City to confirm the trading amount of Yasi Villa. As if she hears the thunder, Xia Ning turns pale all of a sudden!
God. Shen Mo made the recording.
“Then...did you see Shen Mo? He is the Special Assistant of Mayor Yin.”
“Shen Mo...” i Ruo thinks for a while, “Oh. Yes. He is here. He is one of the witnesses.
“!” Xia Ning feels blank in her brain. As if all the blood in her body is pumped away, Xia Ning feels deadly cold around!
She doesn’t speak for quite a while. i Ruo asks, “Mrs. Yi, are you listening?”
“Yes, I am...”
“Mrs. Yi, don’t worry. I am also one of the jurors. Don’t worry. I will try my best to help Yunrui to clear the charges. However, I need to remind you of one thing. During the ti, you’d better act honestly in C City. Try your best to be low-key. Don’t bring any other trouble to Yunrui.”
