Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 750 Which father doesn't get blamed?

"Hmm? What are you doing? Why are you up so early?" Meng Fei's lazy voice rang out in the bedroom.

Old Chen, still dressed, said, "Did I disturb you? Go back to sleep, it's alright. I have to go downstairs today, so I'll leave early."

"Ugh~, I don't want you to go on that business trip."

Old Chen smiled, went over to help Meng Fei tidy her hair, kissed her forehead, and said, "I won't stay. I'll be back tonight. If you're free, go play with your grandson."

Meng Fei reached out and wrapped her arms around Lao Chen's neck: "Don't lie to me."

Old Chen said, "I'm not lying, I'll be back tonight. You should get some more sleep."

Meng Fei pouted her bright red lips, and Old Chen kissed them and patted her back.

Mengfei asked, "Am I a good girl?"

Old Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Good boy, go to sleep."

Meng Fei released her grip: "Hmph, you've spent more time hugging Chen Xiaohui than me lately."

Old Chen chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll hug you more when I get back. You're really something, even jealous of your grandson." He stood up, picked up his coat, turned off the light, and quietly walked out of the bedroom. After closing the door, his face returned to its usual calm. He walked to the door, put on his shoes, and took out his phone from his bag.

"Have we arrived yet?"

"Chief, I'm at the door."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Old Chen put down the phone, put on his coat, grabbed his bag, went out, got into the large Audi waiting beside the villa, and the car quietly glided out of the provincial party committee compound. The streetlights shone brightly on the road, and the stars twinkled in the sky.

……

As dawn broke, the morning light shattered the darkness of daybreak.

The streets and alleys of Fengtian suddenly came alive. People who were struggling to make a living came out of their homes. The sound of bicycle bells echoed, buses swayed and bumped through the streets lined with big poplar trees, and breakfast stalls emitted steaming aromas.

Outside Beiling Park, in a blank spot on a map, stands a row of exquisite villas.

"bell……."

The old man holding the towel glanced at the ringing phone, walked over, sat down, and picked up the phone.

"Feed?"

"Commander, I am Wang Yuanchao, Cha Qian's junior."

"Oh, you brat, what's the matter? Do you think I can just call you like that? Give me a straight answer or you'll be in big trouble."

"Sir, my son was at the Grand Hotel last night... and this is what happened. He took a gun and forced a few kids into a private room. Then he arranged for a few women to come in, tear off their clothes, and grab them. The police came in immediately and arrested them. There was no chance to explain. Luckily, the kids were quick-witted and they ran into a clever old policeman. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what happened."

The old man raised an eyebrow: "Are you serious? Who else was with them? Let me hear it."

"This is the son of Major General Li from our hospital, the son of Mayor Xidumi. I heard he got beaten so badly his face is deformed. And the son of Chen Jianguo from the power company, you should know him, right? There's also Zhang Wei, he works at the camp management office here. His family doesn't have much of a background, but he's the leader of these guys, and his word is law."

The old man nodded and said, "What do you plan to do? Get revenge?"

Wang Yuanchao said, "Sir, do you think I'm that kind of person? I just want justice. If my son is in the wrong, I'll break his legs myself. If it involves a crime, I'll kill him myself. But if these local departments start making all sorts of nonsense, don't blame me for making a big deal out of it."

The old man asked, "Are the children safe now? What's the situation?"

Wang Yuanchao said, "It's safe. The child called back last night, and I had Wang Shengli go check it out. They found two guns, more than twenty controlled knives, and more than thirty prostitutes being held there, along with dozens of thugs. They're involved in brawls, gambling, and loan sharking. The people are temporarily being held by Wang Shengli. The other party's father is the deputy chief prosecutor of that district; I heard he has quite a few connections. I'm just afraid of things going wrong."

The old man said, "That's fine, the child is safe now. It's a local matter, it's not good for us to interfere, we should trust the local comrades. You can call the child back, or ask Wang Shengli to take him to Fengtian in a car."

Wang Yuanchao said, "First of all, logically speaking, if kids get into a fight, that's it, and I shouldn't pursue it so relentlessly. But this matter is different. Not only were guns and knives used, but they've also framed me. If it weren't for a quick-thinking policeman, what would have happened by the time I found out? Commander, can this matter just end like this?"

The old man asked, "You rascal, tell me, what do you want?"

Wang Yuanchao said, "Commander, how about you give me and Lao Li a few days off? Lao Li and I can go there."

The old man said, "Nonsense. Alright, I know about this. I'll ask around. You guys stay put and don't give me any more nonsense."

……

8:10.

As usual, Secretary Quan came to the small canteen for breakfast.

A bowl of plain congee, a boiled egg, two kinds of pickled vegetables, and pan-fried chive pancakes that are golden brown.

As they were eating, Governor Yue came over with steamed buns and hot soy milk and sat down next to Secretary Quan.

"Why are you here for dinner today? Don't your younger siblings care about you anymore?" Secretary Quan asked Governor Yue with a smile.

Governor Yue said, "Ju Lu called me late last night. I'm afraid there's going to be some trouble today. I'm taking this opportunity to give you a heads-up."

Secretary Quan paused for a moment, then put the leek box back on his plate: "What is it?"

Governor Yue said, "Let's eat and talk while we eat. It's not a big deal."

Secretary Quan picked up his glasses from the side, wiped them, put them on, and said, "I've almost finished eating. Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

Governor Yue took a sip of soy milk and said, "Then I'll stop here for now. You finish eating this."

Secretary Quan rubbed the bridge of his nose, picked up his chopsticks, and finished the chive dumplings in a few bites. He then drank the white porridge in his bowl and said, "Alright, tell me, you've even learned to flatter your appetite."

Governor Yue said, "Last night... that's how it was. It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but now it's become complicated. The military region sent people, and the deputy chief prosecutor in that district isn't much of a figure. His father-in-law is a retired member of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Bincheng. That's how he came to Julu's side. Julu is currently in Anshan, so he called me."

Secretary Quan thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid things aren't that simple. Is it really worth coming to you over a fight? That's a bit much, a waste of your talent. Is your father-in-law's favor so worthless? Ask the Public Security Bureau and find out what really happened. I'll wait for news."

Governor Yue said, "That's probably what happened. A group of young people got into a fight in the heat of the moment, and they definitely didn't know their own strength. However, two of them are children of military personnel, and one is the son of Mayor Xidumi. Now that it's involved in northern Jilin, I'm afraid there will be trouble there. Also, Chen Jianguo's son is involved. As for that couple, well, you'll have to step in and say something. I'm afraid I can't control them."
