I was married off to a disabled hero in lieu of marriage; my in-laws doted on me and I aspired to gr

Inside the room, Wu Zhengkai hid tightly behind Pan Delin, making sure he was completely safe even if Zhou Zhonghai fired a shot.

Zhou Zhonghai approached step by step, and said sternly, "Wu Zhengkai, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. I'll count to three, and if you don't tell me where my grandson is, don't blame the bullets for not recognizing people."

"three……"

"two……"

Before he could even finish speaking, Pan Delin knelt down with a thud: "Minister Zhou, I'll talk, I'll talk! Zhou Xiaowei is at Secretary Wu's third uncle's house in Wujia Village, the child is safe..."

Before he could finish speaking, he wet his pants.

Zhou Zhonghai turned his head and winked at Gu Quan, who then quickly ran out.

"The child has been found. In Wujia Village, in Wujia Village."

The bureau chief and Liu Songming stood up together. The bureau chief was very excited and wanted to go and save the child. But seeing the armed forces soldiers' posture, it seemed that protecting the municipal party secretary was also very important.

"Go save the child, we'll retreat immediately."

"Okay, bro, thanks. Let's smoke together next time we have time."

At a command, the police chief led his men into the car and headed towards Wujia Village in the suburbs.

Liu Songming waved his hand, and the soldiers from the armed forces boarded the trucks and withdrew within minutes.

Liu Songming didn't leave; he followed Gu Quan into the house.

When Zhou Zhonghai saw Gu Quan and Liu Songming enter, he said to Pan Delin, "If we can't find the child, I'll kill you first."

"Minister Zhou, this has nothing to do with me. It was Secretary Wu who gave the order. Even if I had a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare to do it."

"I don't think so. If Wu Zhengkai gave you one gut, you would have stolen my grandson. If he had a hundred guts, Huailin would be yours."

Wu Zhengkai, hiding behind the sofa, shouted, "Zhou Zhonghai, you mobilized the armed forces without authorization and pointed guns at high-ranking officials. You...you won't have a good end either..."

Zhou Zhonghai walked up to Wu Zhengkai, picked him up, and threw him onto the sofa. The two inexplicably hostile enemies were finally able to talk properly.

"Wu Zhengkai, what grudge do I have against you?"

Wu Zhengkai shook his head, feeling afraid as he looked at the gun in Zhou Zhonghai's hand.

"Since we have no grudge against each other, why are you targeting me?" Zhou Zhonghai was very puzzled.

"I'm not targeting you personally; I'm targeting those who don't listen to me."

"Oh, who's being disobedient?"

"Fu Sanjun is independent and domineering, and thinks he's something special. He speaks coldly and harshly to me, so naturally he should be punished."

"You hold a grudge just because his small village raised a few pigs and didn't give you any money?"

"Do not do evil because it is insignificant; what seems like a small matter can gradually become a big one."

Gu Quan couldn't help but lower his head and laugh. Is this how the phrase "do not do evil even if it is small" is used?

"It seems you've read quite a bit, but unfortunately, you've misused your cleverness. You're using your power to exploit farmers, which is evil, don't you understand?"

"I don't understand. My father fought and bled on the battlefield to protect our country. What's wrong with me getting a little benefit?"

"Did your father hold onto this empire alone? I'm a soldier too, I've fought my way through countless battles. Does that mean I can kill your entire family?"

"You, you, so rude..."

"I'll ask you again, did you get my son kicked out of the military region?"

"Yes, I did it. I did it to win over Tripoli."

Zhou Zhonghai frowned, really wanting to shoot this guy to death.

"General Wu, how could you have raised such a useless person like you? You're a disgrace!"

The problem is that this incompetent person has even become the Party Secretary of the city.

How tragic it is for the people of Huailin.

Soon after, the police chief rushed in, panting: "Mayor Wu, the child has been found and safely returned home."

"Get lost..."

The director of the Huailin City Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Party Secretary of the city, so naturally he has to report to the Party Secretary.

Zhou Zhonghai let out a long sigh and said to the police chief, "Wu Zhengkai, the secretary of the Huailin Municipal Party Committee, used his position to settle personal scores and kidnapped a child. He should be detained. Pan Delin was also an accomplice to the crime. He should be taken away as well."

Wu Zhengkai protested, "Bringing a gun into a house is also a crime..."

Zhou Zhonghai turned his head, revealing a strange smile, and then opened the gun in his hand, disassembling it piece by piece. There were no bullets, and it wasn't a real gun; it was a toy gun.

Fuck you, you're trying to scam me...

"Everyone saw the armed forces mobilize their troops."

Wu Zhengkai panicked. He was determined to die together with Zhou Zhonghai and could not let him go.

Zhou Zhonghai patted Liu Songming on the shoulder and said, "Minister Liu of the Armed Forces Department, coming to protect the safety of the Municipal Party Secretary is perfectly reasonable and compliant. What's wrong with that?"

Wu Zhengkai was dumbfounded. So you guys are not wrong, and it's all my fault?

The police chief lowered his head, his face dark. How could a minister act like this?

Never mind, there's evidence of Wu Zhengkai and Pan Delin's crimes, so arresting them is definitely the right thing to do.

Gu Quan drove home in a hurry.

Strangely enough, when Xiaowei came back, Luo Meiyun's heartbeat returned to normal, and Qiaoqiao was no longer dizzy. She pulled out the IV and ran home.

Covered in mud, Xiao Wei excitedly shouted, "Mud, mud, play, play..."

Zhou Zhonghai snatched Zhou Xiaowei from Qiaoqiao's arms, ignoring the mud, and kissed him profusely, bringing tears to his eyes.

"Dad, thank you." Qiaoqiao's eyes were swollen.

"It's all my fault, I've dragged you all down with me."

Zhou Zhonghai felt very guilty, blaming himself for being too impulsive, which angered Wu Zhengkai and forced him to take desperate measures.

"Old Zhou, are you alright?" Luo Meiyun's face was swollen.

"It's nothing, just a small incident. Don't worry, it won't happen again."

After kissing Zhou Xiaowei, Zhou Zhonghai checked him over from head to toe. Luo Meiyun said, "We checked and found that he was not hit. The police chief said that when they found Xiaowei, he was playing happily in the mud."

Zhou Zhonghai's tears turned into laughter: "Kid, you have the demeanor of a soldier. Grandpa admires you."

After saying that, he tossed Xiaowei into the air, and Xiaowei giggled wildly.

"Dad, you guys rest, I'll go make some noodles. Songming, you haven't eaten either, have you?"

Liu Songming looked at Zhou Zhonghai with a troubled expression. Without his orders, he dared not stay for dinner.

"Songming, you've worked hard. Have a bowl of noodles before you go back."

"Alright, old chief."

Gu Quan was puzzled. Why was he so happy about a bowl of noodles?

Hu Xiaomei was seriously injured and was still in the hospital. Qiaoqiao and Luo Meiyun went to the kitchen to cook noodles.

Several men were playing with Xiao Wei in the living room, their laughter ringing out.

"Sister Hu is hospitalized and needs someone to take care of her at home, so I'll ask for a few days off."

"Don't ask for leave, I'll come back to take care of Xiaowei. Anyway, I don't have a formal position, I'm just hanging in mid-air, let me do any surgeries," Luo Meiyun said.

"Is Master Chen feeling any better?"

"The first corrective surgery was successful, but the later stages will be gradual; it won't be completed in just one or two days. Qiaoqiao, although Wenhui is a man, he has difficulty walking. Should we hire a bodyguard for our family?"

"Oh, is that against the rules?"

"I'll ask your father if he can transfer a comrade from the army to help out."

"If possible, Yu Fu is a good person. When you and Dad are not at home, he takes care of us."

"Okay, I'll discuss it with your father."
