Zhang Wen's name

Office of the Governor of Handong Province.

Zhang Wen looked on with curiosity when he saw Chen Yanshi being brought in by Huang Shan. Why was this old man coming here instead of going to find Sha Ruijin? I'm not his adopted son.

"Old Chen, what brings you here?"

Hearing Zhang Wen call him "Old Chen," Chen Yanshi was a little defensive; it seems Zhang Wen holds a grudge.

"Zhang Wen, I'm here today because of Chen Hai. My Chen Hai is a good comrade. Isn't this punishment too harsh?"

Zhang Wen was speechless when he heard this. Have the standards for a good comrade been so low these days? Can someone who kills people be called a good comrade?

"Old Chen, you're retired, you should take a good rest. You just got out of the hospital not long ago. If you overwork yourself, you'll have to pay for it yourself."

Chen Yanshi was a little disoriented after hearing this. What do you mean by "just discharged from the hospital recently"? Wasn't it you guys who caused my trouble last time?

"Zhang Wen, I know my own body. Let's talk about Chen Hai's matter. I think your punishment is problematic."

Zhang Wen ignored him and instead asked Huang Shan to bring over the investigation report.

"Old Chen, here is the report. You're a veteran chief prosecutor. If you can find a problem, I'll uphold justice for Chen Hai."

Chen Yanshi was overjoyed, as this was something he excelled at.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Yanshi became increasingly alarmed as he looked at the document; he hadn't found a single problem-free one. On the contrary, many errors had gone unpunished against Chen Hai.

Seeing Chen Yanshi's surprised face, Zhang Wen looked smug. "If it weren't for how old you are, I would have exiled you too."

"Old Chen, have you finished reading? You can't possibly not understand it, can you? You're not qualified to be the chief prosecutor. It seems that Secretary Zhao's decision not to give you the treatment you deserve is actually for your own good."

Chen Yanshi was furious when he heard Zhang Wen's mockery.

"Zhang Wen, have you no manners at all? You have no respect for the elderly. I'm over 80 years old, how can you mock an old person like that?"

Zhang Wen felt extremely satisfied when he saw the old man break down.

"Old Chen, respecting the elderly requires that the elderly person is also a good person. Why should I respect someone like you who doesn't respect the elderly?"

"Zhang Wen, you're just using your position for personal revenge. You're taking revenge on Dafeng Factory for not giving you face."

Zhang Wen didn't argue when he heard this. "So what if I reported it? Who told your family to be so dirty? Otherwise, what could I do to you?"

"Old Chen, if you don't have anything else to do, you should go back. I'm very busy."

Hearing this, Chen Yanshi had no choice but to leave.

Seeing Chen Yanshi leave with a dark expression, Zhang Wen immediately dialed Sha Ruijin's work number.

"Secretary Sha, your adoptive father came to my office today. Be careful."

Sha Ruijin felt a bit smug after hearing this. "So you've finally met your match. Luckily, I had a backup plan."

"Governor Zhang, I arranged for Secretary Bai to receive me today, and I also left a cell phone with him. Secretary Bai just called me."

Zhang Wen burst out laughing after hearing this. Sha Ruijin was utterly despicable. And Chen Yanshi was so pathetic; he didn't even have Sha Ruijin's work number.

"Secretary Sha, he is your adoptive father. Don't you feel any remorse?"

Sha Ruijin was speechless. If he hadn't heard that laughter, he would have thought that Sha Ruijin was a very righteous person.

"Zhang Wen, can you tone it down? I can hear your laughter all over here. I really want to be nicer to him, but look at how much trouble he's causing. And that Chen Hai is a complete idiot; he even caused a death while handling a case. I've already been very lenient by not letting him go in."

"That's right, Chen Yanshi is too arrogant. If you give him a nice look, he'll take advantage of you."

Sha Ruijin felt that Zhang Wen was absolutely right; he had been too accommodating to him before.

"Governor Zhang, I think you are right. Chen Yanshi is indeed acting a bit arrogantly because of his age. I was too accommodating to him before."

Zhang Wen was a little surprised to hear Sha Ruijin say that. Was this still the same Sha Ruijin who was so concerned about saving face?

"Secretary Sha, I think you should still talk to him, otherwise he will definitely come looking for you again."

Sha Ruijin remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Zhang Wen, I know it's not good to hide, but I just don't want to see him."

...................................................

After being humiliated by Zhang Wen, Chen Yanshi went to Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei was astonished to see Chen Yanshi. How could this old man still have the nerve to come see him? Did he think I was that good-for-nothing Chen Hai?

"Chen Yanshi, how dare you come to see me?"

Seeing the angry Qi Tongwei, Chen Yanshi spoke sincerely.

"Tongwei, I was blinded by greed back then. I looked down on you, you country bumpkin. But I was doing it for your own good. If I hadn't sent you to the countryside, would you have achieved what you have today?"

Qi Tongwei could hardly believe his ears. He was being exiled to that godforsaken place, and he was supposed to thank him?

"Chen Yanshi, how can you be so shameless? I had such a bright future, and you ruined it."

"Tongwei, I don't agree with what you said. Without my guidance, how could you have become the vice governor? Besides, I told you to leave Chen Yang for your own good. Look, you've climbed the social ladder, haven't you?"

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath, afraid he wouldn't be able to resist beating up the old man.

"Chen Yanshi, I'm not going to waste time with your nonsense. What brings you here today?"

"Tongwei, I want you to say a few good words for Chen Hai. I know you're Zhang Wen's favorite."

Qi Tongwei found it hilarious. "How can you be so hypocritical?"

"Chen Yanshi, Chen Hai can really hone his skills by going to the west. Besides, Governor Zhang has already given the order, do you think there's any chance of changing it? Chen Hai is going for good, not even Jesus could stop him."

Chen Yanshi finally understood: they were all in cahoots; they took advantage of his age to retaliate against his son.

"Qi Tongwei, I never expected you to be this kind of person. I'm glad I didn't agree to you being with Chen Yang."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei could no longer contain his anger and slammed his fist on the table, shouting furiously.

"Chen Yanshi, you old bastard, you deserve it! I want to see who will take care of you in your old age. You're nothing but a hypocrite. If you want to plead for Chen Hai, I'll send him to the most miserable and remote place."

Chen Yanshi said nervously upon hearing this.

"Qi Tongwei, you can't do this! Chen Hai is your junior. If you have any revenge, come to me. Chen Hai is innocent."

Qi Tongwei sneered and said slowly.

"Chen Yanshi, the problem is you can't tell the difference between the big and small kings. Look at who asks for help with this attitude. Go back now, I'll have Comrade Gao personally order him to report immediately."

Chen Yanshi seemed to have grasped at a straw.

"Qi Tongwei, I will tell Gao Yuliang about your disrespect."

"Chen Yanshi, your Chen Hai killed Wang Xiaoli. Now Secretary Gao hates him to death. Believe it or not, he won't answer your calls."

"How did Gao Yuliang come to know Wang Xiaoli? Isn't she just an ordinary girl?"

"Heh, Chen Yanshi, do you think everyone is as flamboyant as you? Xiaoli is our junior. I even did some research on her back then, and I never imagined she was related to Chen Hai."

After hearing this, Chen Yanshi walked out of the office feeling utterly dejected.
