Chapter 490
Capital city, Sun family residence.
Sunlight streamed into the room through the antique window lattices. A white-haired, kind-looking, though slightly haggard, elderly man sat quietly in a wheelchair. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened to his secretary respectfully report the situation to him.
After the secretary finished speaking, the old man slowly raised his hand and waved it gently, signaling the secretary to leave first.
After watching the secretary exit the room and gently close the door, the old man pushed his wheelchair with trembling hands, moving slowly and laboriously towards the table in the middle of the living room. Each step seemed so heavy, as if carrying the vicissitudes of life and the hardships of life.
He paused for a moment, adjusted his breathing, then reached out his hand tremblingly and carefully lifted the dusty cloth covering an old red telephone.
He took a deep breath, calmed his somewhat excited emotions, and then used his wrinkled fingers to skillfully dial the number on the phone. As the numbers were pressed one by one, the crisp dialing sound echoed in the silent living room.
"Is that Comrade Zhou? Alas, I'm old and useless! These national affairs still rely on you, the heads of the family, to take care of them! Especially regarding the matter of Yiguo, that child, I've been worried about him..."
......
In that small dark room deep inside the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the light was dim and depressing, and the air was filled with dullness and silence.
Sun Yiguo curled up in the corner, his heart filled with despair and fear. This period of time undoubtedly became the darkest period in his life.
Once, he was a renowned "young master" in the capital, enjoying a distinguished and prosperous life. Leveraging his family background and personal abilities, he rose through the ranks, reaching the rank of provincial governor and even serving as mayor.
However, at this moment, fate ruthlessly brought him to the bottom of the abyss and turned him into a despised "prisoner".
This sudden change caused a huge psychological gap in him, as if he had fallen from the clouds into an abyss.
After so many years of working in the system, Sun Yiguo has worked in many departments, but has never been involved in the Discipline Inspection Commission's small black room.
Now that he was here, he deeply felt the loneliness and helplessness of being isolated from the world.
The facilities in this small dark room were extremely simple, with only a tattered bed, a rickety table and a lonely stool.
What is even more surprising is that these so-called "furniture" are all made of genuine leather. The purpose is self-evident - to prevent those under guard from committing extreme acts or committing suicide.
At this time, Sun Yiguo had nothing left. All his belongings were confiscated, even the belt around his waist, which symbolized his status and dignity.
Even the most ordinary thing in the world, going to the toilet, has become extremely difficult at this moment. Every time he goes to the toilet, he must complete it under the strict supervision of others, with no privacy at all. This situation makes him miserable.
The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that the staff of the Discipline Inspection Commission did not cut off his supply of cigarettes.
In the past few days, he has been accompanied by cigarettes almost all day long, using them to while away the time and falling into deep thought about his past experiences...
One day, he accidentally caught that familiar voice - it came from Ye Ke, deputy director of the Municipal Government Office.
It sounded as if Ye Ke was being held in the room right next to his.
At this moment, Sun Yiguo couldn't help but feel doubtful: Could it be that the staff of the Discipline Inspection Commission had already found out the entire relationship between him and Ye Ke?
Today, Sun Yiguo always maintains an attitude of knowing nothing when faced with questions from the Discipline Inspection Commission staff.
After all, he was not only the mayor of a city, but also a member of a prominent and well-established Red family. Even if he kept silent, I'm afraid the staff of the Discipline Inspection Commission would not be able to do anything to him for a while.
In this difficult situation, keeping himself safe became the only strategy he could adopt.
As for how the future will develop, all hopes can be placed on his highly respected grandfather!
Although Tieshan Minerals did have many illegal operations, fortunately, all the procedures were formal and he personally obtained them from the provincial government.
However, why such a serious mining disaster happened was beyond his control and jurisdiction as a mayor.
As the mayor of a city, how could he have the time and energy to personally take care of those trivial matters every day?
Moreover, regarding the so-called "making money" issue, as long as the old man is willing to come out and help mediate, the worst that can happen is that he will be removed from the post of mayor. Could he really be sentenced to several years in prison?
Although he was unwilling to lose the mayor's throne, things had come to this point and the situation was out of control and no longer under his personal will.
Whenever Sun Yiguo thought of Wentao, he felt as if his heart was pierced by thousands of arrows, and his hatred towards him burned like a raging fire!
What an ignorant person! He actually dared to slap himself in public!
Sun Yiguo had made a note of this! When he regained his freedom, he would make sure Wen Tao paid the price! That resounding slap not only slammed him hard on the cheek, but also felt like a ruthless blade, deeply piercing and destroying his spiritual world!
Maybe, this matter has already spread like wildfire and even reached the capital!
By then, how could he still have the dignity to stand in the social circles of the capital?
As he was thinking, perhaps because he hadn't slept well in the past few days, Sun Yiguo actually fell asleep.
In a daze, Sun Yiguo seemed to hear a slight noise, which seemed to be the subtle sound of the door lock being opened.
Instantly, he felt as if he had been electrocuted, and suddenly he jumped up from the soft bed. He stared at the door, only to see a familiar figure slowly step into the room - it was his "old love" Chen Yanan.
Sun Yiguo's heart instantly rose to his throat, and a chill rose up his spine.
"You...what are you doing here? Did those guys from the Discipline Inspection Commission bring you here? Get out of here right now!" Sun Yiguo shouted at Chen Yanan with a terrified face, trying to hide his inner panic.
However, Chen Yanan did not look gloomy and angry as he wished. She ignored Sun Yiguo's questioning and suddenly jumped to the bedside like an agile cheetah, raised her hand and slapped Sun Yiguo's cheek mercilessly.
