Tang Bin is busy after the New Year. Although he has retired, he also serves as honorary president and consultant of several civil groups. After the New Year, he was invited to serve as a senior consultant of an NGO organization and an honorary principal of his alma mater. He goes out to make reports and conduct research every week, and he may not be free even on weekends.

However, no matter how busy Lu Tao is, he still has to go on a date. Although Lu Tao said politely on the phone, saying that he wanted to report his work to the old leader, Tang Bin knew very well that if it was not involved in his own affairs, Lu Tao would not have to report to him at all.

He speculated that it might be the case of Xiaohu's kidnapping or Zhou Jianwei's case.

In the past, Lu Tao always asked Tang Bin to meet in a small teahouse, but this time it was a bit mysterious. Both of them drove around half of the city to the remote and quiet agricultural college, and then took a slow walk along a test field.

"Secretary Tang, I have been busy recently and I haven't had time to report some things to you in time." Lu Tao said apologetically.

Tang Bin waved his hand and said, "Stop these vain people. You are busy and I am busy. Just say anything."

Lu Tao took out a cigarette and lit it. Unexpectedly, Tang Bin also took out a cigarette and said with a smile: "What? Have you opened a fast again?"

Tang Bin smiled bitterly and said, "I can't help it during the New Year, so I occasionally order one." After pausing, he asked, "What do you want to say when you secretly asked me here?"

Lu Tao stopped and said cautiously: "I have expressed my opinion about Zhou Jiyao's case. As long as it involves your family, I must report the situation to you."

Tang Bin was shocked and asked, "What? Is there anything involved in the case between my family and Zhou Jiyao?"

Lu Tao shook his head quickly and said, "It's not that there is something involved in the case. I'm just worried that Zhou Jiyao has ulterior motives and wants to pull your family in."

Tang Bin said in confusion: "How do you say this?"

Lu Tao was silent for a while and said, "You have a niece. As far as I know, you only have one niece, named Ouyang Juan."

Tang Bin was stunned for a moment and said, "There are only a few people in my family. Just say whatever you have. Don't hesitate. What's wrong with Xiaojuan?"

Lu Tao said with a tough bullet: "Actually, when Zhou Jianwei was killed last time, you, Ouyang Juan, were in a farmhouse in Xiawang Village. She went with Zhou Jianwei, and the two of them spent the night there."

As he said that, he found that Tang Bin's face had gradually changed, and he hurriedly said: "However, we quickly ruled out that Ouyang Juan and Zhou Jianwei were killed. Considering her relationship with you, this detail was not disclosed to the public."

"Since I have been hiding it for so long, why are the old things being brought up again now?" Tang Bin glared at Lu Tao and asked.

Lu Tao hurriedly said, "The reason I mentioned this again is because Ouyang Juan actually got along with Zhou Jiyao again and was already pregnant with his child."

"What did you say? Xiaojuan is pregnant with Zhou Jiyao's child? How is this possible? Where did you know this?" Tang Bin had already received this news from Zhou Jiyao, but he still pretended to be shocked, and his face turned red at the same time.

Lu Tao waved his hand quickly and said, "Old leader, don't worry, listen to me slowly."

After saying that, he said in detail that the nanny was drugged by Ouyang Juan and that Zhao Yu had run to the nanny's hometown to arrest people and was arrested by the police station.

Finally, he said: "The nanny died not long ago. It was initially believed that she was drowned, but there is no other hidden information. Now it seems that Zhou Jiyao wants a son, but some people don't want him to have a son, so this case happened."

He paused and continued, "What I want to say is that since Ouyang Juan once had a special relationship with Zhou Jianwei, why did Zhou Jiyao seduce her?

In addition, according to my judgment, Ouyang Juan’s mother and your lover seem to know about this, of course, they should have only known about it later.

But they did not ask your niece to have this child, but planned to give birth. In fact, Ouyang Juan and her mother had been living in a high-end apartment in Zhou Jiyao’s Jingu Building in the previous stage.”

Tang Bin threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it hard with his feet, and said with a dark face: "It's embarrassing."

Lu Tao said carefully: "So, I said Zhou Jiyao has ulterior motives. He may try to make up for the alienation of your two families after Zhou Jianwei's death through Ouyang Juan, that is, he is trying to use your relatives as a shield."

Tang Bin didn't make a sound for a long time, walked along the path for a while, then turned around and asked, "Do you think my niece is related to Zhou Jiyao's crime?"

Lu Tao shook his head quickly and said, "No, to be honest, girls are all very open now, and it is not uncommon to get pregnant before marriage, but your niece is pregnant with Zhou Jiyao's child, which has to attract our attention."

Tang Bin was silent for a while and said, "No matter what, I still want to thank you for reminding me. In fact, since my brother-in-law died, our two families have not had much contact. My niece rarely meets. I can't say a few words when I meet each other occasionally. To be honest, I really didn't expect her to have contact with the Zhou family."

Lu Tao hurriedly said, "We have found out this point. It is not surprising that your niece has contacted the Zhou family, because she and Zhou Jiyao's youngest daughter are classmates in college.

Maybe because Tang Wan and Zhou Jianwei are husband and wife, they have a close relationship. Ouyang Juan should have entered the Zhou family through Zhou Lin, but it has nothing to do with your daughter."

Tang Bin said angrily: "This dead girl even digs the corner of her cousin's wall, it's really not a thing."

Lu Tao said cautiously: "Young people nowadays are very vain, especially beautiful girls like your niece, who always want to take shortcuts.

Therefore, a wealthy family like Zhou Jiyao naturally has an irresistible temptation to her. In addition, Zhou Jiyao is a veteran in this field. Not to mention that Ouyang Juan lacks social experience, even a celebrity in society cannot escape his palm.

However, I am not interested in Zhou Jiyao playing with women. What I am interested in is that he actually targets your family, which has to arouse my vigilance."

Tang Bin glanced at Lu Tao, nodded and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable, but I still said the same thing, not to mention that my niece is just a tool he uses, even if Xiaojuan really gave birth to a son for him or even became his wife, as long as you have evidence to prove his criminal facts, I will never protect him."

Lu Tao hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course I believe this, but it is my responsibility to maintain the good reputation of the old leader."

Tang Bin said seriously: "You don't need to stick to my reputation too much. The children and relatives of the leader are also human beings, and they also have emotions and desires. You can't just keep an eye on their leader's reputation. As long as my family violates discipline, you don't have to look at my face and do whatever you should do."

He paused and said, "I can't really give you any answers to my niece's question. To be honest, parents can't even control their own children at present, let alone their niece.

It would be fine if Xiaojuan was greedy for wealth, but she didn't expect that her mother would be jealous of money. Since she didn't even care about her mother, what else could I do as my uncle?

I could only tell Yunsu after I went back that from now on, our two families would no longer interact. As for how Jiang Guilan handled the relationship between her daughter and Zhou Jiyao, it was their own business.

If you find that they have violated laws and regulations, I still say the same thing, just do what you should do, it has nothing to do with me."

Lu Tao smiled and said, "It's unnecessary not to contact each other. After all, he is the niece of the Ouyang family. As a young man, he should do more ideological education."

Tang Bin said angrily: "Ideological education? I can't even teach my own daughter..." Halfway through, I couldn't help but sigh, immediately changed the topic and asked: "Is there any progress in Zhou Jiyao's case?"

Lu Tao shook his head and said, "There is no progress. Zhou Jiyao obviously already knows that we are investigating him, so he has been holding back his troops. In the past witnesses died and those who disappeared, there is no way to deal with him in a short period of time."

"Has there been no progress in the Xiaohu kidnapping case and Zhou Jianwei's case?" Tang Bin asked.

Lu Tao shook his head and said with a shame: "I did not find any valuable clues, but we will never give up. Even if Xiaohu has returned safely, the case must be solved."

"Where is Sun Qian's case?" Tang Bin asked again.

Lu Tao smiled and said, "Old leader, you don't know that we usually don't spend too much energy on such cases of internal strife in black and black criminal groups.

To be honest, Sun Qian is already dead and has no value for us to solve Zhou Jiyao's case. Even if we continue to investigate, at the very least, we will catch a few hired gunmen, but we still cannot track down Zhou Jiyao's head."

Tang Bin waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I just asked casually. There is no intention of interfering in your case. You should do it as you wish. As long as it has nothing to do with my family, I am too lazy to worry about it anymore.

You don’t know, I’ve been busy lately. I either invite you here or call you there. There is only a little heat left on my body, and I can’t be warm."

Lu Tao smiled and said, "This just shows that the old leader is respected, but you still have to pay attention to your body, and the body is the first priority."

Tang Bin smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, but if I really think that I'll get sick at home, Yunsu will scold her every day, and I'm too lazy to pay attention to her."

Lu Tao laughed dryly for a few times. Seeing that Tang Bin no longer had a gloomy face like before, he said carefully: "Old leader, I'm going to ask you something, but I don't know if it's convenient."

Tang Bin glanced at Lu Tao and taught a lesson: "I said Lao Lu, you are getting bigger and bigger in your official position, why are you getting more and less courageous? Where did you go before? You can say something hesitantly. Is there any need to hide it in front of me? Just say it."

Lu Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "As far as I know, Zhou Jiyao's wife Jiang Biyun and a sister named Jiang Bijun, who later married Fang Zhongxin, director of the Municipal Construction Committee.

Fang CITIC has now served as the director of the Provincial Department of Construction, but I heard that although Jiang Bijun and Jiang Biyun are sisters, Fang CITIC's family and Zhou family are still alive and never interact with each other. I don't know if you know the inside story of this matter."

Tang Bin glanced at Lu Tao and asked, "What? Is this matter also related to your case?"
