Chapter 1224 Leave him alone

"Here, I would like to emphasize one more point. You must control your people's mouths. No news from the task force is allowed to spread." Qin Feng emphasized again.

Qin Feng chatted with Gao Xiangyu and Peng Wei here for half an hour, and then the three of them left separately. Qin Feng drove home.

When Qin Feng came home, Hong Yue had already left work early and was busy in the kitchen.

"Thank you for your hard work. Every time you have to work at home alone, I can't help you much." Qin Feng hugged Hong Yue from behind and kissed Hong Yue on the face.

"Aren't you busy at work? Besides, this is what women do."

"Who stipulates that cooking must be done by women?"

"Qin Feng, what happened? Why did you suddenly ask my brother to come to your house for dinner?" Hong Yue turned around and asked Qin Feng.

"I just asked your brother to come to my house for a meal. What's the fuss? Don't think too much. It's just a meal and a drink." Qin Feng said with a smile. He hadn't figured out how to tell Hong Yue about this yet.

"You're talking nonsense. You said you would be very busy on a business trip in Shannan during this period. You suddenly came back today, and you were already in Shannan, but you suddenly asked me to call my brother and come to your house for dinner. Qin Feng, what's going on? Did something happen to my brother?" Hong Yue was not stupid.

Qin Feng let go of Hong Yue, leaned against the kitchen door, lit a cigarette, and took several puffs. Then he looked at Hong Yue and said, "Hong Yue, something has indeed happened, but I don't know what to do about this matter. I don’t know what to tell you either.”

"What happened?" Hong Yue also became nervous.

"This time I led a team to Shannan County to investigate a corruption case, which involved several major leaders of Shannan County. During this process, the other party used the position promised to your brother as the director of the Urban Construction Bureau as a bargaining chip to try to get me Let the other party go, I don't agree. Your brother has a big prejudice against me on this matter. Of course, that's not what I want to say. The reason why I tell you this matter is that I hope you can understand. My difficulty is not that I don't want to help your brother, but that I can't help." Qin Feng said.

"Of course I can't help. What you did is right. Qin Feng, you don't need to tell me this at all. I have told you a long time ago that you should ignore my brother if he asks you to do anything for him. He is a I know very well what kind of personality a person has." Hong Yue said.

"I don't have to help with other things, but this time...hey, I don't know what to do." Qin Feng sighed.

"What the hell happened?"

"This morning, a leader from Shannan County came to me and hoped that I could help him in handling the case. I didn't agree. The other party gave me a report material. This report material mentioned your brother's embezzlement of public funds. The record is clear." Qin Feng said helplessly.

Hong Yue stared at Qin Feng with wide eyes. It took a long time before she came back to her senses and asked Qin Feng: "Is... is it true?"

"I don't know, but...it's most likely true. If the other party didn't have solid evidence, they wouldn't be able to blackmail me with this matter."

"Then...then...is he greedy for a lot of money? Is the problem serious? Should he go to jail?" Hong Yue asked nervously.

"More than 100,000 yuan is enough for a sentence. And that's not the only thing I'm worried about. You've seen your brother's behavior in the past six months. I think his problems are not just about the 100,000 yuan thing." Qin Feng sighed.

"He...he...why is he like this? How can he be so brave and dare to do such a thing..." Hong Yue's tears suddenly flowed out.

"Hong Yue, I don't know what to do now. The other party is threatening me with this matter. I can't just watch your brother go to jail and ignore it, but I can't really use this matter to make a deal with the other party. Even if I think I can’t do it either, this is the task assigned by Secretary Zhou..."

"Qin Feng, listen to me. My brother has already been like this, and I don't want to involve you in this matter anymore. My brother's fate is his own fault and he cannot blame anyone else." Hong Yue gritted her teeth. Speaking to Qin Feng, this was the first time Hong Yue spoke to Qin Feng so seriously.

Hong Haifeng arrived late. The food was already on the table before Hong Haifeng knocked on the door.

After entering, Hong Haifeng's attitude towards Qin Feng was still neither salty nor cold. Apparently he was still worried about Qin Feng's refusal to help him become the director of the Urban Construction Bureau.

Qin Feng was not in the mood to argue with Hong Haifeng about these things. He took out a bottle of Maotai from the wine cabinet, opened it, and poured wine for Hong Haifeng.

After Hong Yue brought the dishes to the table, she said first, "You two, eat. I... don't have an appetite. I'll go sit in the room for a while."

"What's wrong with you? You don't even want to eat?" Qin Feng asked.

"You guys eat, I have no appetite and can't eat." Hong Yue glanced at Hong Haifeng coldly, then turned around and walked into the bedroom, closing the door.

"Brother, are you still angry that I didn't agree to help you?" Qin Feng touched Hong Haifeng with his cup.

"How dare I? You are the secretary-general. Besides, it is your duty to help me, and it is your duty not to help me. I owe you nothing, and you have no obligation to help me." Hong Haifeng said, but there was something in his words. His tone was still sinister, and he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
