Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 690 Choice
The man was slightly taken aback by his wife's question, turned to look at her, and asked in return, "My little brother? Who are you talking about?"

"That Jiang Feiyang."

Where did you see him?

"At the train station, my colleague and I went to see someone off, and we saw him with his wife and children going through the ticket gate."

"He also brought his wife and children?" The man raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Feiyang was going to leave Beijing by train. He knew that, but wasn't he supposed to leave his wife and children behind? How could this be...?

Ok?
Just as he realized this, the man immediately understood why. Damn it, this kid was guarding against him!
This made him feel somewhat embarrassed, and a hint of annoyance flashed involuntarily in his eyes.

His wife, who had been watching him closely, noticed this. Her gaze darkened slightly as she recalled the rumors she had heard from others.

What she never expected was that her husband would even have designs on his younger brother's wife.

Taking a deep breath to suppress her dissatisfaction, she turned to look out the window and said calmly, "I don't know if you're aware, but your little brother isn't exactly a peaceful person. Our headquarters issued a nationwide notice yesterday afternoon regarding his arrest. It's unlikely he'll escape, and I believe he'll be caught soon."

"So fast?" the man blurted out upon hearing his wife's words.

"What? You know Jiang Feiyang got into trouble?" The woman's gaze sharpened as she turned to look at her husband.

She works at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, as the head of the reception section under the Publicity Department. Yesterday, she went to the train station to see off colleagues from other provinces who were coming for an exchange.

Just before leaving get off work in the afternoon, she heard about the notice for assistance in the investigation from someone else. When she heard Jiang Feiyang's name, she was shocked.

She knew her husband had a good relationship with this person and was worried that he might also get involved in this Jiang-related matter, so she didn't report it to her boss and planned to ask about the situation when she got home that evening.

She had forgotten about it last night because she was distracted by other things, and only just remembered. But judging from her expression, it seemed that her husband knew that the man surnamed Jiang had gotten into trouble.

Her heart sank. The fact that a nationwide notice for assistance in the investigation was enough to show that the young man had committed a serious crime. Although she knew that the man in front of her did not have his heart with her, he was still her husband and the father of her three children. She did not want anything to happen to him.

"With his personality, it's hard for him not to get into trouble."

"Then... Honggang, tell me the truth, were you involved in Jiang Feiyang's matter?"

"So what if I got involved, and so what if I didn't? If I really got involved, could you save me?" The man didn't answer his wife's question, but turned to look at her and asked her in return.

Seeing the man's ambiguous smile, the woman narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew that since the man said that, it meant everything was alright.

In recent years, he has become increasingly unwilling to communicate properly with himself. Every time he says something, he doesn't say it directly, but insists on using rhetorical questions to express himself, making it impossible to have a proper conversation.

Since she's unwilling to communicate, then she won't say anything. She doesn't like to offer her warm welcome only to be met with indifference, even if that person is the father of her child.

"Fine, just consider it me meddling in other people's business." With that, the woman turned and left the window, preparing to wash up.

Seeing his wife say those words and then turn to leave, the man was slightly taken aback, but then casually turned back to look out the window.

On the surface, he seemed calm and collected, but inside, a storm was brewing.

The police issued a notice for assistance in the investigation so quickly. It seems that the kid is definitely not going to get away and will be sent back in a day or two.

At the same time, he was also somewhat excited, because with Jiang Feiyang's arrest, many people would definitely be implicated and punished, which would make it more likely that he would be targeted.

It seemed he needed to bring forward the plan he had been working on that night, and he would have to go find someone today, he thought to himself.

……

On the morning of July 28th, around 8:00 AM, Li Yancheng received a call from the headquarters duty room in his office. People from the Henan Provincial Department had already picked up Jiang Feiyang, his wife, and children, and had arranged with the Civil Aviation Administration to escort the young man surnamed Jiang to Beijing on the 10:00 AM flight. His wife and children would also be brought back along the way.

"Zhihai, contact the airport and see what time the flight from Zhengzhou arrives at 10 o'clock. Jiang Feiyang will be on that flight and brought back. Then you personally lead the team to the airport to pick him up. Make sure to take good care of the comrades from Henan Province."

Upon receiving the notification from headquarters, Li Yancheng immediately made arrangements for Jin Zhihai.

"Okay, I'll contact the airport right now."

"Okay, as I arranged yesterday, after we bring the person back to you, contact the Municipal Supervisory Commission and have their people go there too. We'll proceed simultaneously from both sides."

"Yes"

call……

After hanging up the phone, Li Yancheng leaned back in his chair, let out a long sigh, and was about to push open another door. How much "garbage" lay inside was currently unknown, but…

"Jingle Bell"

Just as I was pondering this, the phone on the table rang.

"Hello, this is Li Yancheng."

The call was from a leader at headquarters. It was about a murder case that had been uncovered by the gun theft at the West City Sports School. There were already four known cases, making it a major case.

Now, of the four murders, the suspected perpetrators of three are about to be brought back, and the headquarters leaders will naturally want to inquire about the plans for the next phase of the operation.

Yesterday, whether it was issuing a notice for assistance in the investigation or seeking cooperation from the Municipal Supervisory Commission, Li Yancheng reported to his superiors. However, this was just a report, not a request for instructions. The headquarters would not interfere in the specific work of the public security bureaus (departments) at all levels below, at most providing guidance.

During the phone call, he explained the upcoming plans to his superior in detail. During this time, his secretary, Yang Chundong, came in twice, so after hanging up, he got up and went to the secretary's office across the street.

Spring and Winter

"lead"

Yang Chundong was sitting behind his desk, engrossed in organizing documents, when he heard a noise coming from the office across the hall, and he immediately stood up.

"Is something the matter? I saw you go in twice just now."

"Sir, Director Wang said he has something important to report to you."

"Didn't you say what it was about?"

"The specifics were not mentioned."

"Have him come over."

"Yes"

The Director Wang that Xiao Yang mentioned is the deputy director in charge of publicity and personnel.

Director Wang arrived quickly, his expression somewhat grave. This piqued Li Yancheng's curiosity; had something happened?
"sit"

Li Yancheng led him to sit on the sofa in the reception area. After Xiao Yang poured him a glass of water and left, he asked...

"Looking at your expression, what's wrong?"

"Something did happen." Deputy Director Wang nodded, took a sip of the water Xiao Yang had just poured for him, and then continued.

"Just now, Lao Cao from the Publicity Department reported to me that Comrade Shen Baozhen, the head of the Reception Section under their department, came to him early this morning to admit his mistake. He said that yesterday, when he went to the train station to see off comrades from other provinces who came to study and exchange ideas, he saw Jiang Feiyang with his wife and children preparing to board the train and leave."

At that time, she didn't know that Jiang Feiyang was a criminal suspect under investigation by the bureau. It wasn't until late afternoon, near the end of the workday, that she heard about it from other colleagues. However, out of personal considerations, she didn't report it to the organization immediately after finding out.

Upon hearing this, Li Yancheng's expression gradually became serious.

Knowing the whereabouts of a criminal suspect wanted nationwide but failing to report it to the organization can be considered, to a large extent, cover-up.

"Old Wang, what's the relationship between Section Chief Shen and Jiang Feiyang?"

According to her, her husband and Jiang Feiyang have known each other since childhood and have a good relationship. They often eat and drink together.

Because she didn't know what crime Jiang Feiyang had committed, she was worried that her partner might also be implicated, which is why she didn't report it in time.

"So, it seems she's certain her partner wasn't implicated, which is why she proactively reported it this morning?"

"This should be."

"Heh, she's got a good plan." Li Yancheng chuckled coldly.

"Did she say what she would do if her partner got involved?"

"Old Cao asked her, but she didn't answer."

"No answer? Heh, what are you thinking, Lao Wang?"

"Let him write a self-criticism."

Li Yancheng looked at Deputy Director Wang with slight surprise. Shen Baozhen's problem was quite serious, yet she only had to make a self-criticism?
"Old Wang, isn't that Section Chief Shen...?"

He sensed that things weren't so simple, that there must be some other reason, so he asked directly.

"Ahem..." Deputy Director Wang coughed lightly and said, "Director, Shen Baozhen is..."

After hearing the explanation, Li Yancheng exclaimed "Oh!" in sudden realization. No wonder!

He expressed understanding, but disagreed completely.

"I understand what you mean, Lao Wang. But what if it were someone else? How do you think it should be handled?"

“This…” Deputy Director Wang was a little unsure how to answer the question. He quickly changed his approach and analyzed it from another angle: “Director, what you said makes sense, but this is what I’m mainly thinking. If Comrade Shen Baozhen doesn’t take the initiative to admit it, then we wouldn’t know that she saw Jiang Feiyang at the train station yesterday.”

In that case, none of this happened, right? So I personally think that she took the initiative to confess, and she confessed something we didn't know. In fact, if she hadn't taken the initiative to say it, we might never have known.

Given this, shouldn't we, as the policy states, treat those who voluntarily confess and actively cooperate with leniency or reduced penalties?

Deputy Director Wang's words amused Li Yancheng; it turned out that the policy of leniency for those who confess could be applied in this way.

What puzzled him even more was the woman's thoughts. He didn't know what she was thinking. After learning about the notice yesterday afternoon, she didn't say that she saw that person at the train station, but this morning she took the initiative to admit her mistake. What was she doing?

Can't live with my conscience?
Pshaw! He doesn't believe it.

He was even more convinced that there must have been some unforeseen event that led to Shen Baozhen's change of attitude.

What kind of unexpected event could cause such a complete 180-degree change in her attitude?
By the way, the reason she didn't say anything yesterday was because she was worried that her husband would be implicated by that Jiang Feiyang. Now that she's spoken up, does that mean her husband won't be implicated?

Hmm... that doesn't seem right either. Even so, she could still pretend she doesn't know anything, instead of making trouble for herself like this.

So what exactly happened?

Li Yancheng felt like his head was about to explode. He couldn't understand what Shen Baozhen's purpose was in doing this, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He believes that if he takes action, the person did indeed confess voluntarily; but if he doesn't, as a police officer, he sees a wanted criminal but doesn't report it immediately, instead prioritizing personal gain. He personally thinks such a person is unsuitable for the police profession.

His right hand rested on the armrest of the sofa, his index finger tapping silently on the armrest unconsciously.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Deputy Director Wang knew that the leader was considering how to handle the matter, so he remained silent, picked up his cup, took another sip of water, and then quietly picked up a cigarette from the coffee table and lit it for himself.

When his subordinate, Director Cao, reported the situation, he was also quite overwhelmed and couldn't make up his mind about how to handle it.

He wasn't worried about Shen Baozhen's father. At his level, he was still working in a relatively independent public security bureau, and above him was a bureau chief that few dared to easily offend. So, external factors weren't his main concern.

But it's always best not to offend them if possible. However, he really didn't know that their bureau chief was unaware of Shen Baozhen's background.

Li Yancheng genuinely didn't care about these things. In his view, you're here to work, and to put it another way, to serve the people. I don't care about your background; if you're under my command, you have to listen to me, or you can just not stay here.

With this mindset, he never took the initiative to inquire about anyone's relationship with him. He only learned about several people in the bureau who had some connections from others.

What should I do?
"Old Wang, let Shen Baozhen figure out a way to transfer herself."

The director's sudden words left Deputy Director Wang stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant.

He sighed silently to himself. This bureau chief really was just like the rumors said; he couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing.

But he also knew that this was probably the best solution. As for his earlier suggestion to make a self-criticism, he knew that was simply impossible.

"I understand, Director."

“Hmm,” Li Yancheng nodded, then added, “But not now, but after Jiang Feiyang’s case is completely over, and then…”

At this point, he suddenly realized that he shouldn't be assigning tasks related to the case to Deputy Director Wang, so he waved his hand.

"I'll leave the rest to Lao Chang. Let Shen Baozhen take a break for the next couple of days and wait for the final outcome."

"Okay, I'll go tell Lao Cao right away and arrange for her to take a vacation."
