Chapter 1594

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Alright, my Xiaoya is the smartest, and you never gossip. You are my good wife. Come, I'll reward you with a pork rib."

Lu Xiaoya ate the pork rib happily. Her favorite dish was sweet and sour pork ribs, and her figure was good, so no matter how much she ate, she wouldn't get fat. Therefore, every time they ate together, they would order this dish. Su Xinghui rarely used his chopsticks, basically letting her eat it all by herself.

Su Xinghui asked, "Do you know where Deputy County Magistrate Fang went today?"

Lu Xiaoya worked in the Propaganda Department, and Fang Qing's supervised work had a lot of contact with the Propaganda Department, so Su Xinghui asked this.

Lu Xiaoya said, "I don't know. I had something to find her for today, and I paged her several times, but she didn't return it."

Su Xinghui nodded and didn't ask anything else. The two continued to eat sweetly until almost eight o'clock, when the sky was completely dark, and they finished the meal.

After the meal, Su Xinghui sent Lu Xiaoya back to her dormitory. The two held hands and walked very slowly, specifically walking on the small forest path by the roadside because there was no one here, and Su Xinghui could kiss Lu Xiaoya's cheek from time to time. The two enjoyed this feeling of being in love very much.

Since it was still early, they weren't in a hurry to go home, and Lu Xiaoya also wanted to enjoy this state more, so they walked very slowly. The county party committee compound at night was quiet, and there were basically no pedestrians on the road, but they still hid in the woods. Here, only the moonlight shed by the moon in the sky could shine on them through the treetops.

No matter how slowly they walked, after a while, they were almost at the dormitory building. Su Xinghui stopped, held Lu Xiaoya's hand, and said, "Let's stand here for a while."

Lu Xiaoya stopped and said, "What are we standing here for?"

Su Xinghui stood there, hugged Lu Xiaoya into his arms, and his hands stroked Lu Xiaoya's smooth long hair, extremely gently.

Su Xinghui was tall, and his chest was thick. His body exuded that pleasant masculine aura, which made Lu Xiaoya intoxicated. She also reached out, hugged Su Xinghui's waist, and pressed her face against Su Xinghui's chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, feeling full of security.

Su Xinghui's hands slowly began to become restless. At first, Lu Xiaoya didn't care about him and let him do as he pleased. She was also panting softly and enjoying it very much. However, when Su Xinghui's hand slowly wandered from the mountains toward the valley, Lu Xiaoya's hand grabbed Su Xinghui's hand and said, "Don't, someone is coming."

Su Xinghui actually didn't want to do anything; he wanted to save the most beautiful moment for their wedding night. He was just unable to restrain himself. Since Lu Xiaoya said so, his hand withdrew from the valley back to the mountains, first securing the position he had already occupied.

While they were lingering, Su Xinghui keenly heard a sound of footsteps. Unexpectedly, someone really came.

His hand withdrew. Lu Xiaoya just wanted to ask, but Su Xinghui shushed in her ear and said, "Someone is coming."

Lu Xiaoya only heard a sound of footsteps then. She quickly closed her mouth and remained motionless, not even daring to breathe, for fear of being seen by others in the woods.

Lu Xiaoya's worry was obviously redundant. They were in the woods, and it was impossible for people outside to see them; instead, they could see the people outside.

After a while, they saw this person. It turned out to be Zhao Yangang. He hurried toward the office building, obviously going to the office. Su Xinghui was a bit suspicious. What was Zhao Yangang going to the office for at this time?

The two stayed quietly in the woods, watching Zhao Yangang go upstairs. After a while, the lights in Zhao Yangang's office turned on. Zhao Yangang entered the office and closed the door.

Lu Xiaoya whispered, "Isn't it that no one could find Deputy County Magistrate Zhao all day today? Why did he come at this time?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Alright, let's not worry about him. Let's continue."

As he spoke, Su Xinghui's right hand wanted to climb the peak again, but after being disturbed by Zhao Yangang like this, Lu Xiaoya had no interest. She said softly to Su Xinghui, "Forget it, send me back. It always feels uneasy to be like this outside."

Su Xinghui naturally wouldn't force her. He nodded and sent Lu Xiaoya back.

Speaking of Zhao Yangang, after he let Director Shi and Director Wu leave, he asked the waiter to send him a few dishes and a bowl of rice, and he had a good meal. He had a big appetite, but he stayed in Fang Qing's apartment for a whole day today, and only ate a few pieces of bread and drank some milk at noon. For someone like him who wasn't used to eating bread, it didn't fill his hunger at all.

The key was that he had performed heavy physical labor today, consuming a lot. No matter what, he had to have a good meal to replenish his energy.

He swept away the few dishes and the bowl of rice like a whirlwind, left Mingxin Teahouse, and returned to the county party committee compound. He wanted to page Fang Qing and tell her the situation here.

He could only return this call to his own office. This kind of thing wasn't suitable to be called from an IP phone on the street for fear of people, nor was it suitable from a public phone for the same fear of people, and it was even less suitable at his home. Therefore, his own office was still a relatively private space.

It was already past eight o'clock now, and there was definitely no one in the office building of the county party committee compound. People in Changshan County didn't have any nightlife yet. As soon as it got dark, almost everyone went home. Zhao Yangang wasn't afraid of being seen by anyone when he went to make a call now. Of course, he didn't expect that Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya saw him go to the office.

Of course, Su Xinghui wasn't that kind of low person, and he wouldn't think of following Zhao Yangang upstairs to listen to what Zhao Yangang was doing. He wasn't interested in this at all. No matter what Zhao Yangang did, he wouldn't take it to heart.

Zhao Yangang thought his whereabouts were unknown. After he entered the office, he locked the door and paged Fang Qing.

It didn't matter when this pager was paged; no one returned the call for a long time. Zhao Yangang paged several more times, but the phone wasn't returned. His own pager rang several times. He looked at the numbers; one was from home—his wife was worried because he hadn't returned yet—and another phone number was Ling Anguo's home phone.

Zhao Yangang returned a call home. As soon as his wife answered the phone, she asked him where he had gone and why he hadn't returned home so late. He told his wife that he was accompanying guests from the county outside and might return quite late today, telling his wife not to wait for him.

His wife didn't suspect anything else. It was very normal for county leaders like them to return late when accompanying guests. It was just that Zhao Yangang didn't take the initiative to call home today, which made his wife a bit worried. She told Zhao Yangang not to return too late and also told Zhao Yangang that County Magistrate Ling had called to look for him and asked him to return a call, then hung up the phone.

Zhao Yangang couldn't return now; he could only wait for Fang Qing to return the call. The situation here had changed. If he didn't tell Fang Qing in time, and Fang Qing said something wrong in front of Ren Guisheng, that would be bad. Therefore, he had to wait for Fang Qing to return the call today.

He couldn't return a call to Ling Anguo either. In this situation, if he called Ling Anguo, he didn't know what to say. It would be better to wait until tomorrow when Director Shi and Director Wu's self-criticisms were delivered.

Zhao Yangang sat there restlessly, paging Fang Qing every ten minutes or so. Unknowingly, the time reached past nine o'clock, almost ten o'clock. He suddenly heard his office door being knocked. He was so scared that he shuddered all over, almost losing his soul.

This couldn't blame Zhao Yangang for being timid. He was already feeling guilty today, waiting for Fang Qing's call here, feeling anxious in his heart. Now it was the dead of night, and without any psychological preparation, the door was suddenly knocked. Anyone would be startled.

This was "if you don't do anything wrong in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at the door at midnight," but Zhao Yangang had done something wrong, so anyone knocking at the door could startle him.

Every hair on Zhao Yangang's body stood up. He stared at the door of his office, holding his breath, not daring to breathe. After more than ten seconds, the door was knocked a few more times.

Zhao Yangang asked in a trembling voice, "Who?"

A voice came from outside the door, "Old Zhao, it's me."

Hearing this voice, Zhao Yangang let out a long sigh of relief. This voice was Ling Anguo's. This was truly "people scaring people, scaring people to death." Of course, Ling Anguo didn't expect things to be so coincidental. His ordinary knock on the door almost gave Zhao Yangang a heart attack.

Zhao Yangang got up to open the door. It was indeed Ling Anguo outside. Zhao Yangang said, "County Magistrate Ling, why did you come so late?"

Ling Anguo said, "I walked around outside and saw the lights on in your office, so I came over."
