Zhang Wen's name

the next day.

Two appointment notices from province X were sent via fax.

Hou Liangping held the appointment document in his hand, almost in tears. What the hell was going on? The last one said he was leaving in a month, but this one said he was leaving in just one day. Seeing this, Hou Liangping still dialed Zhong Xiaoai's number.

"Xiao Ai, help me! I've been assigned to another job."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

"Liangping, what have you done now? Why have you been exiled again? You just got back not long ago."

Hou Liangping felt wronged after hearing this, as he was clearly being targeted.

"Xiao Ai, I didn't do anything at first. First, I got beaten up by Lu Yike, then I beat up Chen Hai, and as a result, I was sent back to where I was."

Zhong Xiaoai was almost confused; what the hell was this?

"Hou Liangping, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Why did Lu Yike beat you up, and why did you beat up Chen Hai?"

"Here's what happened: I was provoked by Lu Yike, so I called her an old woman, and that's when she attacked me. Later, I was mocked by Chen Hai, so I beat up Chen Hai's whole family."

Zhong Xiaoai was speechless. What the hell was going on?

"You were sent to exile because you got into a fight, right?"

"Pretty much. You can talk to Dad and ask him to arrange for me to go back to the anti-corruption bureau."

"Let me ask for you, but don't get your hopes up too high. I don't think it'll work out."

After hanging up Hou Liangping's call, Zhong Xiaoai went to the study to find her father, Zhong Zhengguo.

"Dad, Liangping has been exiled again, this time for fighting."

Chung Cheng-kuo was speechless after hearing this. What kind of incompetent fool would be exiled twice?

"Xiao Ai, you should divorce him. I'm afraid he'll bring shame to the Zhong family. There's no one else in the entire capital who's been exiled twice."

Zhong Xiaoai was a little silent. He had just told his son that his father was back.

"Dad, can we not get a divorce? I just told our son that his dad is back."

Chung Cheng-kuo was speechless after hearing this. At this point, did you still have a choice?

"Xiao Ai, Hou Liangping is definitely going back to X province. I finally managed to get him back, and he pulls this stunt on me. Our Zhong family will definitely be laughed at by everyone else."

"Dad, is there any way to keep him from going so far? Maybe we can exile him to Handong?"

"Xiao Ai, do you think official documents are child's play, something you can just change on a whim? And most importantly, he beat up a retired cadre's family; the situation is too egregious. If we protect him, what will the other retired cadres think?"

Zhong Xiaoai could only nod helplessly, but she still decided not to get a divorce.

"Dad, I'm not getting a divorce this time. It's already like this, how much worse can it get for you?"

Seeing Zhong Xiaoai like this, Zhong Zhengguo waved his hand.

Zhong Xiaoai came out of the study and immediately dialed Hou Liangping's number.

"Liangping, my father is powerless to help either. When you go there, you should still visit Teacher Gao often."

Hou Liangping looked depressed after hearing this; Handong was truly a dreadful place.

……………………………….…………

Hou Liangping was extremely frustrated, while Chen Hai also received an appointment document, telling him to set off in a day.

Chen Yanshi was also confused when he saw Chen Hai holding a document. Wasn't it said that they would leave in a month?

"Chen Hai, what is this document? Is it a recent appointment?"

Chen Hai simply replied with a nonchalant tone upon hearing this.

Seeing Chen Hai's expression, Chen Yanshi immediately picked up the appointment document and began to read it. After a moment, Chen Yanshi's face darkened.

"This is outrageous! Qi Tongwei, you bastard, I will never forgive you!"

Chen Hai was a little confused; what did this have to do with Qi Tongwei?

"Dad, did you go to see Qi Tongwei? What did you say to him?"

"I didn't say anything, I just asked him to plead for you and put in a good word for you with Zhang Wen."

Chen Hai's face turned ashen. It seemed he couldn't keep this father; how could anyone treat him so cruelly?

"Dad, why did you go and provoke Qi Tongwei? I told you not to go. Look, I've been reassigned to another place. I've been assigned to the desertification control center."

Chen Yanshi was furious when he heard this, as it was an abuse of power.

"Chen Hai, I'm going to get justice for you. I'm going to report them. They're abusing their power."

"Alright, Dad, just calm down. If you keep making a fuss, I might not be able to go to the desertification control center anymore."

"Dad, you and Mom need to take care of yourselves. It looks like I'll be staying there until I retire."

Hearing this, Chen Yanshi felt very regretful. He should have known better than to have ignored those workers; now everyone disliked him.

Early the next morning.

Hou Liangping and Chen Hai arrived at the high-speed rail station with their luggage. Just as they were waiting, a woman they least wanted to see appeared.

Lu Yike led Lin Huahua in from outside, and immediately locked onto Hou Liangping and Chen Hai.

"Chen Hai, you really are a piece of trash. You got beaten up and you're still sitting together. Don't you two have any passion for each other?"

Hou Liangping and Chen Hai were furious when they heard this.

"Lu Yike, you old woman, if you're sick, go see a doctor. You've made us suffer so much."

Lu Yike was actually quite happy to see the two of them in such a sorry state. Although she had also been punished, she was still pleased to see them like this. Some things are better left uncompared.

"Hou Liangping, Chen Hai, you two better watch your manners. My former uncle-in-law is the provincial party secretary in your area."

Hou Liangping was a little intimidated after hearing this, but Chen Hai was not afraid.

"Lu Yike, you know he's your ex-uncle. He didn't say anything when Teacher Wu was arrested last time. What are you, his niece, so smug about?"

When Hou Liangping saw how brave Chen Hai was, he immediately came to stop him.

"Chen Hai, Lu Yike's family and Teacher Gao have a good relationship, so you'd better not offend her."

Chen Hai looked at Hou Liangping with disdain.

"Hou Liangping, why are you such a coward? Do you think I don't know what kind of background Lu Yike has?"

Seeing Chen Hai continue his reckless behavior, Hou Liangping stopped trying to persuade him and instead kept his distance.

"Lu Yike, you saw it too, I didn't say anything to you, blame Chen Hai if you want to blame someone."

Lu Yike found Hou Liangping's cowardice boring.

"Chen Hai, you idiot! I never imagined you would actually kill Xiaoli."

Chen Hai was shocked. How did she know Wang Xiaoli?

"Lu Yike, how do you know Wang Xiaoli? I'll say it again, I didn't do it on purpose, and I didn't know which county magistrate had just committed murder."

"Chen Hai, you bastard, the most important thing in our job is to protect the witnesses. How do you know Wang Xiaoli? She's my uncle's student, and I often hang out with her."

Hearing this, Hou Liangping looked at Chen Hai with pity, it seemed that Chen Hai was finished this time.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. I've been having nightmares every day since that happened."

"Chen Hai, you're just like your father, a hypocrite. Just stay there and die to atone for your sins."

After saying this, he turned and left without even glancing at Hou Liangping.
