"Come, please drink a cup of tea and take a rest first." The director said as he gently placed a cup of warm tea in front of Li Jianjian, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Thank you, director." Li Jianjian responded politely, and then asked slightly worriedly, "Excuse me, how are the situation with my aunt Chen Ting and my aunt? Are they okay?"
The director frowned slightly, with a bit of seriousness in his tone: "This problem is indeed a bit difficult. You also know that the community you live in belongs to a high-level military management area, and many residents there are key protection targets.
Your aunt made a big fuss there. Not only did she speak fiercely, but she also took photos. This behavior is at best a sign of ignorance of the world. At worst, it may be suspected of prying into secrets and endangering China's security.
At present, this matter has been handed over to the relevant special place for processing, and the specific conviction and sentencing still need to wait for instructions from superiors."
He paused and then added: "However, you can try to contact Professor He. His opinions are very important in many places and may be able to provide some help."
After hearing this, Li Jianjian nodded slightly, with a flash of uneasiness in his eyes, and then asked: "Where is Aunt Chen Ting now? Can I go and stay with her?"
The director shook his head and explained: "She is being questioned now, and it is not convenient for you to go there at this stage.
In addition, because she is a foreigner, someone has just retrieved the surveillance video at the entrance of the community, and some people suspect that she may be involved in instigation.
But don’t worry too much, I personally don’t think she has the guts to do anything outrageous.”
When Li Jianjian heard this, he became even more anxious and looked outside the door involuntarily.
She had already sent a message to her elder brother and younger brother, but why hasn't anyone come yet? Could it be that there was an accident on the road? She seemed to think of something terrible, her brows were furrowed and her face was full of worry.
Outside, in front of the gate, Ling Xiao rushed over anxiously, but was stopped by He Ziqiu with a quick step.
"What are you doing? I have something urgent." Ling Xiao's anxiety was palpable.
He Ziqiu's lips curved into a playful smile: "What a coincidence, I can't wait to see you either."
Ling Xiao was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet: "I really have something urgent to do. Please, let me go."
He Ziqiu's eyes sharpened, his mouth tilted, and he smiled smugly: "You don't want your mother and aunt to never come out again, do you?"
Ling Xiao:???
…
As night fell, inside the cell, Chen Ting and her aunt looked exhausted after experiencing a long and detailed interrogation.
The content of the interrogation was meticulous, ranging from every word and deed of daily contact, to whereabouts, diet, financial records and even mobile phone communications, everything was questioned in detail.
Not to mention the tedious physical examination items, from blood tests to fingerprints, voiceprints, footprints and even facial recognition, all are covered.
After this series of processes, my aunt's arrogance has long since disappeared, replaced by deep fear and fear of the forces behind Li Jianjian.
"Chen Ting, I really underestimated this Li Jianjian. We just said a few words against her and Ling Xiao, but she actually invited us in without saying a word. It's already evening, and it's still...
I don't have a clue to get out." My aunt was still frightened, and there was even a slight tremor in her voice.
At this moment, she finally realized the true meaning of "people who are cruel don't talk much".
To be honest, she was really a little scared.
Chen Ting also looked helpless and shook her head.
She also didn't expect that she originally thought that Li Jianjian was just a little girl with a bad temper, but after being influenced by traditional Chinese education, she would be rude at best and would not and could not use any extreme measures.
Why didn't I expect that she would be so capable, so ruthless, and so stunning?
Chen Ting secretly regretted that she had indeed made a mistake. She had thought that she could easily control Li Jianjian with her own methods. Even if she married Ling Xiao, she would still have the final say in this family.
However, reality dealt her a severe blow, forcing her to re-examine this seemingly weak opponent.
She needs to get serious!
"Chen Ting, look at her current posture. She dares to treat you like this. If she really marries Ling Xiao, what kind of blessing can you expect? I'm afraid she will have to fight for the chance to see her son!
If we can get out safely this time, we must show off to that girl in front of Ling Xiao and let her know that we are not easy to mess with!
Humph, she thought she could control us just because she had a powerful helper, but she forgot that we are Ling Xiao's closest family members!" My aunt said through gritted teeth, thinking about how to break them up so that she could continue.
Dazzle.
After hearing this, Chen Ting just sighed, with mixed feelings in her heart. She was not sure whether she could leave this place smoothly, let alone what the future would be like.
"Chen Ting, please say something. Don't be frightened." Aunt said forcefully, trying to cheer up Chen Ting.
Chen Ting:???
…
In a quiet corner of Badou Town, Luzhou, in the office of the Archives Management Department, Chen Mingzheng was sipping tea leisurely and enjoying this rare leisure.
In the eyes of others, it is not easy to reach the deputy department level, but for Chen Ming, this seems to be just a small node in his career.
Before, he had worked hard for many years and never shied away from the dirty work, but the opportunity for promotion and salary increase always passed him by. However, fate always likes to turn around unexpectedly.
By chance, he accompanied a state-level leader to have a meal. At that time, He Ziqiu's outstanding contributions and brilliant achievements to Luzhou happened to be played on the TV on the big screen in the restaurant.
The old leader was filled with emotion: "Luzhou is really lucky to have such an outstanding talent as Professor He who still cares about his hometown."
Hearing this, Chen Ming smiled and chatted: "Professor He is indeed a rare talent, and he is also a good brother of my son. We often get together in private and have drank several times."
These words aroused the interest of the old leader. After a conversation, a few days later, Chen Ming was unexpectedly included in the promotion consideration.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Soon, he was successfully promoted to a full-time job and was transferred to the relatively relaxed Archives Management Department.
The promotion of his position and the improvement of his treatment improved his status at home. His wife smiled more and argued less.
As for the real reason for the promotion, Chen Ming chose to keep it secret because he did not want his wife to question his ability.
No, even my sister Chen Ting and niece Xiao Chengzi came back this time, and they admired and looked up to him with admiration.
This feeling is really refreshing!
Bashi!
Chen Ming has made up his mind that if he is lucky enough to have dinner with Professor He next time, he must give him a few toasts!
With his care, my career may be able to reach a higher level.
Now he understands clearly that in this world, ability is important, but in the final analysis, you have to rely on connections, that invisible but real network of relationships.
As if thinking of something pleasant, Chen Ming tilted his lips, as if he had foreseen the beauty of the future. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The feeling of comfort and satisfaction was beyond words.
"Dong dong dong~" A rapid knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Please come in." Chen Ming responded casually without moving his body at all.
Now his status is not what it used to be. Even if the director comes in person, there is no need to deliberately flatter him.
The door was pushed open suddenly, and three soldiers wearing straight military uniforms and holding firearms suddenly appeared in front of them.
This sudden battle made Chen Ming a little confused, but then he felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart - Could it be that Professor He's relationship has come into play again, and he wants to give me a bigger surprise this time?
With a great nephew like Ling Xiao here, his life is really worth it!
"Excuse me, who are you?" Chen Ming tried his best to maintain a smile, and his tone was polite and polite.
The leading soldier's eyes were blazing. He took out a photo, compared it with Chen Ming, and spoke in a serious and direct tone.
"Mr. Chen Ming, because your wife Wang Guihua is suspected of endangering national security and claims that this behavior was prompted by you, we now require you to cooperate with the investigation based on the subpoena. Please come with us."
As these words fell, the smile on Chen Ming's face instantly solidified.
…
The next morning, the sun broke.
Chen Ting and Wang Guihua woke up slowly in a cold and damp cell.
Here, there was only a cold iron plate pressed against the wall, which was extremely hard. In addition, mosquitoes were raging, making them sleepless all night.
If it hadn't been for the good weather now, the two of them would have frozen to death.
"This is abuse!" Wang Guihua was indignant. "They even spared us two old people. How can there be such ruthless and unjust people in the world?"
Chen Ting forced out a smile to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it will be fine."
A trace of cruelty flashed in Wang Guihua's eyes: "That's right! We have been out of touch for a day, and your elder brother will definitely find something wrong. With his power and connections, finding us is just a piece of cake.
Once out of trouble, Li Jianjian must pay the price for his evil deeds!
That girl Li Jianjian has no appearance, no ability, no good housework, and no respect for her elders. She dares to set up a private torture chamber just because she has a great brother. It is really unreasonable!
When the time comes, let Chen Ming find the media to expose her and ruin her reputation!"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, as if she had foreseen Li Jianjian's embarrassed appearance, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised.
"Also, I heard that He Ziqiu is also the target of public criticism now. I don't know how many people are staring at him now. As soon as we come forward, people will naturally add insult to injury and swarm him, leaving them nowhere to hide."
"When the time comes, I will definitely question Li Jianjian face to face to see if she knows how wrong she was and if she regrets what she did today!"
Wang Guihua almost laughed out loud when she talked about the excitement. She felt more and more confident due to the improvement of her husband's family status.
At this moment, the iron door slowly opened with a "squeak" sound, interrupting their conversation.
Wang Guihua recognized the person at a glance. It was Chen Ming, the husband she had been looking forward to day and night. She immediately greeted him, full of joy: "Husband, you are here. I knew you would not leave me."
However, her joy was quickly shattered by Chen Ming's angry slap.
"Crack!"
Wang Guihua staggered and fell to the ground, her face full of shock and confusion. "You...you actually hit me?" Covering her face, she looked at Chen Ming in disbelief, feeling aggrieved and angry in her heart.
"Ah! I'll fight you!" She struggled to get up and tried to fight back, but was hit with a more violent blow again, completely losing the strength to resist.
Collapsed on the ground, covering her red face, Wang Guihua was completely confused.
Seeing this, Chen Ting hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her: "Brother, sister-in-law, she..." Before she could finish her words, she was not spared.
"Pa~" After a loud slap, she also fell next to Wang Guihua.
"Look at the good things you have done!" Chen Ming was furious, his eyes full of disappointment and anger.
Chen Ting:???
What's going on?
When the two old ladies calmed down, Chen Ming was trembling with anger and scolded: "What are you two thinking? Ling Xiao is growing up and Ling Xiao is falling short all day long. Is he that important?"
So what if I studied well before and ranked first in the school? Now I am just a dentist. What else can I do besides seeing people’s teeth?
It’s of no use!
Do you know how powerful Professor He is behind Li Jianjian? What do I rely on to be the section chief today and be brothers with the big guys in the town?
It’s not just because I have the opportunity to often have dinner with Professor He, it’s almost like a condom!
It's good for you two. You are plotting against Li Jianjian and want to break up her and Ling Xiao. If Ling Xiao really breaks up with her, how will Ling Xiao get along in the future? What about me? What can I do? "
At this time, Wang Guihua also gradually regained her consciousness. Although she was unwilling to do so, she still retorted in a low voice: "I didn't want Chen Ting to find her son as you said."
"Pa!" Another slap on Wang Guihua made Chen Ming angry: "I asked you to find your son, but I didn't ask you to make trouble! What does it have to do with you breaking up this young couple?
I’ll eat shit from you!”
When Chen Ting saw her elder brother like this, she was so frightened that she swallowed her words again, for fear that the next slap would fall on her face.
Chen Ming took a deep breath and calmed down: "Now I understand that Professor He was really offended by your short-sighted behavior. Otherwise, how could I be involved?
Fortunately, Ling Xiao has a good relationship with Professor He, and both of them are kind-hearted. They will probably let us go after being detained for a while, that is, they will give us a little warning.
But after you go out, you two must go with me to apologize to Li Jianjian and Professor He and ask for their forgiveness, do you understand? And if I hear that you treat Li Jianjian badly again in the future, there is no need for Professor He to take action.
, I will tear you two apart directly!
Did you hear that clearly?"
Wang Guihua was about to say something. After all, she had never been so wronged since she was a child. If she still came to apologize after being like this, wouldn't she be at a loss?
But seeing Chen Ming's stern eyes, he quickly swallowed his words and nodded desperately: "Okay, okay!"
Without the glory of her husband, she is nothing!
She would never turn her face to the earth again like before, working so hard all her life that she couldn't even get enough for her son's bride price.
Chen Ting, with dark eyes, stood aside and remained silent.
She just wants her son back, a son that belongs only to her, and she doesn't care about anything else!
