Chapter 142 The mind must be aware of the subtleties
When Xie Shizhen walked to the door of his house, he accidentally looked back and saw a figure suddenly hiding behind the wall at the corner of the alley and the street where he lived. This situation made him stunned for a moment.
Someone was actually following him, Xie Shizhen thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel excited.
Although it was just a fleeting figure, Xie Shizhen was, after all, a hereditary "Liuquan Guard" officer-level person, so he was so astute.
He immediately realized that someone was secretly following him, something that had never happened before today.
Even after the disappearance of the head of the Ministry of Health, Xie Tingsong, the entire Ministry of Health had a complete operational management system, so there was no internal turmoil or panic and remained stable.
The four front, rear, left and right guards affiliated to the Ministry of Health are still operating normally without any stagnation.
The disappearance of the chief officer is strictly controlled within a very small scope in the Ministry of Health, and irrelevant subordinates still don’t know that their chief officer has been missing for several days.
From an internal perspective, the whole bodyguard was peaceful and there was no disturbance.
From the outside, it is business as usual. The business is going on, the goods are being picked up, and the reception is being received. There is no feeling like facing a formidable enemy.
This was due to the emergency meeting held by the four chiefs of the Guards immediately after discovering Xie Tingsong's disappearance.
No matter what the status and relationship between Zeng Bin, Tan Zheng, Qin Siming and Xie Shizhen were before, when they encountered important junctures related to the interests of the Ministry of Health, they still discussed the corresponding measures and arrangements from an overall perspective, and formulated
specific coping strategies.
After all, we both belong to the Ministry of Health, so we can be said to be both prosperous and devastated. When disaster strikes, no one can survive alone.
But Zeng Bin, Tan Zheng, Qin Siming and himself, as the chiefs of the guard, all began to be secretly on guard after this meeting.
Among the four of them, no one reminded anyone, but they all made corresponding arrangements to strengthen their own protection.
As for who this is to protect against, everyone probably has a different idea in mind.
Xie Shizhen's arrangement was that since the neighbors on the left and right sides of his home were all guard subordinates, he also arranged fixed guard posts at both ends of the street where he lived to strengthen the defense of his home.
He is a family man and cannot allow his family to be harmed in the slightest.
Xie Shizhen realized from the glance he just took that the figure was obviously avoiding his observation. This was not the person he arranged, so who could be following him secretly?
The stalker cleverly chose the fork in the middle of the street where he lived to peek at him, which was equivalent to exploiting a loophole in his own defense.
This is an important matter and cannot be ignored.
Xie Shizhen thought of this and coughed a few times. The neighbor's door on the right side of his home immediately opened a crack, and the man standing in the door said: "Sir, my subordinate is here."
Xie Shizhen did not go in, nor did he turn around. He stood calmly at the door of his house, pretending to be looking for something in the document bag he carried with him, and told the person inside the door: "From tomorrow onwards, we will also go to the alley entrances in the street."
Arrange guard posts and adopt a dual-post system to ensure personnel safety."
The person in the crack of the door, because he was in a dark place and could not see clearly what he looked like, softly replied: "I obey my orders. We will make arrangements tonight. From tomorrow onwards, we will send two more posts to guard the entrance of the alley."
Xie Shizhen nodded and said: "Now is an extraordinary period. You must pay attention to safety and not be careless."
"I understand, sir, please go back. Everything is safe at home today, and there are no suspicious persons nearby."
said the man standing behind the door.
Xie Shizhen didn't speak any more, but took out the house key from the document bag, stepped forward to open the door, and walked in.
By this time, his two children had already fallen asleep.
His son is ten years old this year. He is smart and has good academic performance. Xie Shizhen has high hopes for him and cultivates him carefully.
His daughter is six years old and has just entered elementary school this year. She is also extremely smart and he loves her very much.
Every time he thinks of his wife and children, he feels a sense of emotion. He is grateful that as a member of the Ministry of Health, he has a stable life in this chaotic world.
Therefore, he strongly supports the Ministry of Health through the welfare homes established and managed by Youwei to adopt abandoned orphans and provide certain relief to some wandering and homeless people.
This is a matter of great kindness. It really echoes Shao Yong's poem "The First and Last Yin" of the Northern Song Dynasty, "If the meaning is shallow and does not know much, it will lead to confusion. The soul must be aware of the slightest movement. If someone commits evil and kills it, how can there be no heaven to maintain a good heart?"
The poem expresses the truth.
Xie Shizhen not only supports the Ministry of Health to withdraw a certain percentage of annual operating income as expenditure for welfare charity.
At the same time, he will also use part of his salary as a donation to the welfare home.
As for whether his subordinates make donations, it's all voluntary. He doesn't force it, and he doesn't assign it. Everything is done as he pleases.
Xie Shizhen's wife was knitting a sweater in her room. When she heard his return, she hurriedly got up and went to the door to greet him.
The wife took the briefcase from his hand and said, "Shizhen, I have cooked rice porridge for you. Please sit down and I will bring it to you."
Xie Shizhen nodded and said, "I'm really hungry today, so I just had some porridge to satisfy my hunger."
The daughter-in-law was about to go to the kitchen, but after hearing what he said, she quickly turned around and said, "Shizhen, haven't you had dinner?"
When Yong Shijing and the others arrived at Jinpu, it was just when he was finishing his meal. When he heard that the general guard was coming, he didn't bother to eat.
After Yong Shijing left, he had no intention of eating.
After all this fussing, he failed to finish his dinner.
Xie Shizhen was afraid that his wife would be worried, so naturally he couldn't let her know the truth, so he said, "I ate. I just had a lot of things to do, so I didn't eat much. I'm a little hungry now."
The daughter-in-law felt relieved and said, "There is still some cold rice in the kitchen. I'll stir-fry it for you. You can eat some more."
Xie Shizhen nodded and said, "This is the best. Eat some egg fried rice and feel comfortable."
The wife smiled and said to him: "What's wrong with you today! You have the same taste as the children, they just like to eat this."
When she was about to walk out, she suddenly remembered something and turned around and said: "I don't know when it was, but a letter was slipped into the crack of the door. Sheng'er saw it when she was playing in the yard, so she picked it up and gave it to me. I
It has not been opened, just put it on the table, you can take a look."
Xie Shizhen agreed: "Okay, you go and do your work."
After his wife went to the kitchen, he walked to the table and saw an envelope lying on the table with his name written on it.
So he sat down tiredly, picked up the envelope, tore it open, took out the letter paper inside, unfolded it and read it, his face immediately darkened.
