C675 Tempest Eve

On the screen, there was a string of unfamiliar numbers. Moreover, the numbers were made up of completely different numbers compared to the number provided by any communication operator in China. However, such a strange number just happened to appear on Lin Bai's phone.

The sound of the bell was sharp and the screen was flickering. Liu Jingtian glanced at the phone before waving his hand in front of Lin Bai and teased, "Old Cousin, why aren't you answering the phone? Could it be that the caller is another hidden sister-in-law?"

Upon hearing Liu Jingtian's words, the girls in the car couldn't help but turn to look at Lin Bai with unfriendly eyes. It seemed that if Lin Bai didn't answer the call, then there would definitely be no end to this.

However, the girls did not know that Lin Bai, who was holding the phone, felt like he was holding a ticking time bomb. His heart was beating faster and faster, and even his left eyelid was beginning to twitch.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" After hesitating for a long time, Lin Bai finally pressed the answer button and spoke into the phone.

"…" There was a long period of silence, as if the person on the other end of the phone was like Lin Bai, not knowing how to reply. After a long while, a voice finally came over: "Lin Bai, it's Uncle I …"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Bai's eyes widened. The waves in his heart surged into his mind, his eyelids twitching and even his fingers began to tremble involuntarily. This voice was too familiar to Lin Bai, but it was this familiar voice that made him even more apprehensive. This was because the person on the other side of the phone definitely would not call him for no reason!

"Lin Bai, I've called to tell you something." After a moment of silence, he continued, "There are some things that we can't do if we don't want to. There are some things that we know we're wrong, but we have to do them for a variety of reasons. I hope you understand. "

"I understand." After pondering for a long time, Lin Bai slowly spoke. His voice was somewhat hoarse, as if he had exhausted all of his strength in order to squeeze out these two words from his lips.

There was the same silence on the other end of the line. After a long while, a 'thank you' finally came out. Lin Bai was very clear about the identity of the person on the other side of the phone. He was also very clear that very few people in China were able to make him say 'thank you'. Thus, Lin Bai was even more clear that something big was going to happen.

"What's going on? Could it be that Little San has heard of our arrival and is preparing to make a ruckus?" Seeing Lin Bai hang up the phone, a smile appeared on Ning Huayan's face. She stared at Lin Bai and teased.

He Jia Er held out his hand to stop Ning Huaiyan, and slowly shook his head. He then turned to Lin Bai and asked with a face full of concern, "Lin Bai, what's wrong? Who was the caller? Is something going to happen? "

"No problem." Lin Bai shook his head. He then looked at He Jia Er and said softly, "Jia Er, when you came out, did anything strange happen at home? Did the old man specifically tell you anything?"

"The old man didn't say anything. He just did nothing but accompany Jing Xing for an entire day the day before we left." He Jia Er shook his head as he stared into Lin Bai's eyes and said thoughtfully: "However, I don't know why my two uncles suddenly returned to Beijing from the southwest. Furthermore, they did not report back to the northwest and instead stayed at home."

There must be something strange going on. These two large military regions in the southwest were the most dangerous places in China. The commanders of these two large military regions definitely wouldn't be able to come back to Beijing unless something earth-shattering was about to happen.

Furthermore, with the old man's call to him, Lin Bai's back was covered in a layer of white sweat. Could it be that something happened to the Liu Clan in Yan Jing? The reason Old Man Liu asked these girls to come back was because he was afraid that they would be involved, or because they had other plans.

But to tell the truth, although Lin Bai's heart was filled with fear, he wasn't afraid at all. It was impossible for an old man like Old Master Liu, who had experienced a lifetime of storms and waves and had come to life, to not have prepared a backup plan.

"Old Cousin, could it be that something happened at home?" Seeing Lin Bai's expression, Liu Jingtian also started to feel a little worried. He took out his phone and made a few calls to his home, but all of them were constantly ringing, causing him to feel that something was not right. He couldn't help but stare at Lin Bai's face and ask with a trembling voice.

Lin Bai shook his head, and lightly comforted, "The old gramps has worked hard all his life and experienced so many storms, it's impossible that he's not prepared for something. Let's first quietly observe for a while, if something really goes wrong, then we'll naturally know after a few days! I want to see who exactly dares to make a move on our Old Liu family! "

The interior of the car was silent. Even Ning Xiaoxiao, who was filled with anger towards Lin Bai, did not utter a single word. From Lin Bai's previous phone calls and his conversation with He Jia Ruidao, everyone could tell that a storm was coming. At this critical juncture, the most taboo thing was to panic.

Quietly, the few girls' hands were tightly clenched. After glancing at Lin Bai, they gazed at each other and slowly nodded their heads. Although they didn't say a word, the girls understood the meaning of this exchange: the one who holds the most power, never abandons it, never disobeys it, they share hardships and hardships with each other, and they share hardships together.

Today, all the people who entered the courtyard all felt that the atmosphere here was a little strange. It felt like the eve of a storm, causing them to feel extremely pressured. The source of this feeling came from Tian Keqin's office.

The dispute between Tian Keqin and Jiang Liu a few days ago is still fresh in the mind of the people in the office building. At that time, Tian Keqin was greatly humiliated by Jiang Liu's forceful attitude. However, because of the call from Beijing, he was unable to say anything. However, at this moment, the sudden appearance of this fellow caused others to not hesitate.

There were even many people who began to wonder if that was the reason why Tian Keqin appeared so imposing. Just as everyone was feeling uncertain, Tian Keqin suddenly informed all the department heads to head towards the auditorium, saying that it was an extremely important matter that had been announced.

How could these people dare to slack off? After receiving the notice, they hastily rushed towards the auditorium. The moment they entered the auditorium, the hesitation in the hearts of the crowd deepened. Tian Keqin had been dejected ever since he had failed the battle with River Stream. Why did he suddenly look so happy today? It was as if he had picked up a pie that fell from the sky.

Not to mention the spectators, even Jiang Liu was a bit puzzled. He was clearly aware of Tian Keqin's character. This fellow was definitely the type of person who would cause waves even if there was no wind. After being defeated the other day, he had rested for a couple of days.

However, Jiang Liu wasn't too worried about Tian Keqin's actions. With regards to the remodeling of the Victory Pavilion, it had already been confirmed by the call from the central office that day. Furthermore, behind his back was Lin Bai, a foppish and hot dandy in Yan Jing. Under such circumstances, even if Tian Keqin wanted to overturn the sky, he could not do anything about it!

"Comrades, I have summoned everyone here today. The Central Committee and the provincial council have some instructions for notifying everyone." While River was pondering, Tian Keqin, who was sitting in the middle of the stage, suddenly cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

As soon as he finished speaking, the auditorium fell into silence. Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at the smiling face of Tian Keqin. They wanted to hear the contents of this sudden instruction.

"This notice is mainly about the position of the mayor of Jinling City, comrade Jiang Liu." After that, he stared at a thin piece of paper in his hand and continued in a cold voice, "According to the instructions of the Suzhou Provincial Committee, Comrade Jiang Liu is suspected of bribery. He will cooperate with the provincial disciplinary committee to carry out an inspection. During the comradeship inspection, the position will be taken over by Comrade Tian Keqin!"

Tian Keqin's voice was like a thunderstorm that swept through the auditorium through the microphone. It also swept through the hearts of the officials in the auditorium. This sudden turn of events was extremely shocking. A few days ago, it was clearly the river that held the upper hand. How could Tian Keqin do something like this in such a short amount of time?!

"Comrade Jiang Liu, this is a notice from the provincial disciplinary committee. Please cooperate with their work." After Tian Keqin had finished talking, he smiled at River and continued, "Rest assured, I will take care of Jinling City's affairs while you are not around. I will definitely clean up the stall you left behind!"

"Those who are clear will know themselves, while those who are muddled will be muddled! Things will definitely get out of hand! " Jiang Liu closed his eyes, neither humble nor haughty, he turned his head to look at Tian Keqin and coldly smiled, "Don't be too complacent, it's not that you don't want to report, it's just that the time has not come!"

"Then you'd better pray for retribution!" Tian Keqin gave a cold laugh, his expression extremely vicious.

Jiang Liu said nothing. He turned around and walked out of the auditorium, a wry smile on his face. Although he appeared extremely calm on the surface, his heart was actually in turmoil. Tian Keqin probably had some backer behind his back for directly pulling out the provincial disciplinary committee to rule him today. Moreover, Yan Jing did not intervene this time. Something must have happened to him!

Lin Bai, I only hope that you can resolve the matter of the Victory Pavilion as soon as possible and restore my innocence.
