In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

Chen Min'en took the photo, and the next second, his body suddenly stiffened!

The person was outside the room, and although it was under the light, it wasn't very clear. However, even though it wasn't very clear, Chen Min'en could tell that the young man in the photo looked very much like him when he was young!

The most important thing is not appearance.

It was the eyes, those eyes, that made Chen Min'en almost believe this was his child.

At this moment, Chen Min'en, who had remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before him and had experienced countless things, was no longer as composed as before, and even his hands were trembling slightly.

"Zhixing, who...who is he?!"

"Where is he?!"

Chen Min'en grabbed Li Zhixing's arm and quickly asked him questions.

Without genetic comparison, no one can be 100% certain of a blood relationship. However, they look so alike that Chen Min'en instinctively believes this is his child at first glance.

Over the years, he and his wife have searched for countless potential children. Many of them look very similar, and the time, place, and even age match up. However, Chen Min'en has never been so certain. Even just looking at a photo, even without undergoing testing, he is almost certain.

Li Zhixing quickly said, "Please calm down first, I'll explain it to you slowly."

"Don't worry, I know where he is. I came here to tell you this."

Upon hearing this, Chen Min'en took a deep breath and nodded quickly.

This is not the place to talk. If someone sees him in such a state, it probably won't be a good thing.

He has lost this child for more than 20 years, and he still hasn't found out who did it back then, which is a problem in itself.

If the Chen family, with their power, cannot even uncover the mastermind behind this, it means that the other party's origins are equally unfathomable.

Of course, it wasn't that he had no target at all; it was just that he couldn't be completely sure. However, Chen Min'en already had a general idea of ​​who it might be.

What if the other party hasn't given up yet at this point?

He can't take that risk.

Absolutely not!

Holding Li Zhixing's hand, Chen Min'en said in a low voice, "Zhixing, come with me, come in and let's talk properly."

Then, Chen Min'en pulled Li Zhixing into the room.

In the study on the second floor, Chen Min'en looked at Li Zhixing, paced back and forth a few times, and then slowly calmed down before sitting on the sofa.

"Zhixing, I'm sorry, I lost my composure a bit, but you know, I can't help but get excited about this."

"There's no one else here. Can you tell me who the child in the photo is and where you found him?"

Even at this point, Chen Min'en was still holding the photo, unwilling to let go.

After mentally rehearsing his words, Li Zhixing said softly, "His name is Chen Jingcheng, and he is twenty-three years old this year."

Chen Jingcheng?

After muttering a few words to himself, Chen Min'en said softly, "Surname Chen, given name Jingcheng, good, good, good name."

"Twenty-three years old, that matches, the age matches."

Looking at Chen Min'en, Li Zhixing felt that even if Chen Jingcheng had a very common and ordinary name, Chen Min'en would probably still clap his hands and say that the name sounded nice.

However, Li Zhixing could understand Chen Min'en's feelings.

A child who has been separated for many years may finally be found. Anyone would be overwhelmed with fatherly love and think that the child is perfect in every way.

After all, Chen Jingcheng had long been considered dead by Chen Min'en's family for many years. But when they finally learned that Chen Jingcheng might still be alive, their feelings were something that ordinary people could not understand.

But after the initial excitement, there was more worry. After all, even if the child was still alive, how was he doing? Who adopted him? What were his adoptive parents like? Did he have any physical disabilities? It was impossible not to worry.

However, Chen Jingcheng in the photo looks youthful, spirited, handsome, and dignified. Although the clothes he is wearing look very ordinary, that's good enough, very good enough.

Chen Min'en was naturally happy.

Afterwards, Li Zhixing told Chen Min'en about his understanding of Chen Jingcheng, including Chen Min'en's work in the township and how, with Kunkun's recommendation, Li Feitu brought him to work in the Linchuan County Government Office.

Then came a series of events that occurred after Chen Jingcheng started working in Linchuan County.

Li Zhixing did not conceal the conflict and struggle between Zhao Mingyuan and Li Feitu in Linchuan County, and also mentioned that Chen Jingcheng had been drawn into it.

However, Li Zhixing fell silent at the end of the conversation.

Chen Min'en looked at Li Zhixing and said with a smile, "Zhixing, why did you stop talking?"

"I know that Li Feitu is your nephew. I will not comment on the matter between him and the secretary of the Linchuan County Party Committee. However, based on what you said about him and Jing Cheng banning alcohol for staff on working days to achieve the initial goal of changing the problem of overstaffing and poor attitude towards the people among public officials, that is very good. From this, I can say that he is a young man with ideas, a very good young man."

"Of course, he may have various reasons for promoting Jingcheng, but whatever the reason, I will thank him. After all, without him, there would be no daughter Kunkun, and I might not be sitting here looking at the photo in my hand today."

"Zhixing, I see the anger and hesitation on your face. Has the Party Secretary of Linchuan County done something that's making things difficult for Feitu and Jingcheng?"

But it's not going to be easy?

Li Zhixing looked at Chen Min'en with a bitter expression and said, "Comrade Min'en, we are sorry for you."

"When I first learned that Chen Jingcheng was very likely your child, my elder brother and I discussed that I would try to be transferred from the position of Party Secretary of Hancheng City to the position of Party Secretary of Oasis City, so that I could take care of Feitu and Jingcheng. At least, when the young people realize their ideals and ambitions, they won't be tripped up by others behind their backs."

"However, to my surprise, instead of receiving the transfer order to Oasis City, I was transferred from the position of Party Secretary of Hancheng City to the position of Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference."

"Sun Yikun of the Sun family was transferred from the position of mayor of another city to serve as the Party Secretary of Oasis."

"We tried to win them over, but my elder brother and I failed. The Sun family was already stronger than us, and with the support of the newly arrived Deputy Secretary Wu, our Li family suffered a series of defeats."

"If that were all, it would be fine. However, after Sun Yikun took office as the secretary of the Oasis City Party Committee, he criticized Li Feitu in a nearly humiliating way on his first day of work. Early the next morning, the Linchuan County Discipline Inspection Commission took Jing Cheng away from the Linchuan County Party Committee compound. At the same time, Feitu was also dismissed from his post."

"It is said that when Jing Cheng was taken away, Sun Yikun personally came to the scene and said some unpleasant things to Jing Cheng."

"But those words aren't pleasant to hear, so I won't say them. I just want to say, Comrade Min'en, I'm sorry, I failed to protect Jingcheng. It's my incompetence!"

At this moment, in the warm study, Li Zhixing felt a chilling sensation.

Looking up, he saw Chen Min'en's face, icy cold, like a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg, and the anger in his eyes seemed capable of setting the sky ablaze.

"What hurtful things did Sun Yikun say to my son?"

At this moment, Chen Min'en's voice was very calm, frighteningly calm, so calm that it made one's hair stand on end.

This is not calm; beneath the calm lies a terrifying threat that is about to erupt!

Li Zhixing also heard this. At this moment, before the paternity test was even done, Chen Min'en was already using the word "son" to refer to Chen Jingcheng!

This is the overwhelming rage of a father who sees his son being humiliated, or who has been searching for his son for many years and has yet to see him, after he has been insulted and bullied!
