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

It was already late at night, and Chen Jingcheng was being held in custody by the Oasis City Discipline Inspection Commission.

He had almost given up hope of being rescued by his biological parents. He knew better than anyone that he was innocent, but they were just stalling for time, and there was nothing he could do about it.

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng understood more than ever how important power was, and he wanted power more than ever before!

Chen Jingcheng always felt that his biological parents, even if they were officials, would at most be similar to Sun Yikun in rank, or even slightly higher, but at most not much different from Li Zhiyuan. Such a level and power would indeed make the Sun family consider things and give them some face.

The problem is, if someone doesn't want to give it, they can make things difficult for them.

When you are in someone else's hands, you become part of their bargaining chips.

He didn't know what the situation was with his biological parents, but he thought that perhaps they were negotiating with the Sun family.

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng had no idea that Chen Min'en already knew about his situation and was furious.

negotiation?

With whom should we negotiate?

The Sun family?

That means Sun Yikun and his family have to be qualified.

In fact, even if someone was qualified to negotiate with Chen Min'en, under these circumstances, Chen Min'en would absolutely not have any intention of negotiating with anyone.

He finally found his biological son, whom he had been searching for for many years, and the child was innocent. Instead of releasing him immediately, the boy wanted to negotiate with him.

This is not negotiation, this is discussion, this is war!

Chen Min'en's good temper was always directed towards his subordinates, not his superiors!

He cared about the happiness of the people and whether they were suffering, but he didn't believe that any businessman or official could bargain with him on matters of principle; that would only make him angry!

At this moment, Secretary An was already seated in Chen Min'en's study.

Looking at Chen Min'en's expression, Secretary An immediately knew that Chen Min'en did indeed have something to discuss with him, and it was something very complicated for Chen Min'en. Otherwise, Chen Min'en would not have shown such complex emotions, including both joy and anger!

It's worth noting that there aren't many things that could make Chen Min'en lose control of his emotions and show it on his face.

"Min-en, you called me over so late, is there something important that you need to tell me? Just tell me."

After speaking, Secretary An looked at Li Zhixing and frowned, saying, "Li Zhixing, you're here too. Did you and Comrade Min'en discuss something?"

"If it's your problem, you can tell me. I know you haven't been doing well lately. Comrade Min'en has already given you face today, so there shouldn't be any problems from now on. It's not appropriate to bother Comrade Min'en so late."

This can be considered a reprimand.

As the top official in Qingjiang Province, it was only right for Secretary An to reprimand Li Zhixing.

Before Li Zhixing could explain anything, Chen Min'en shook his head and said, "Old An, this is not Zhixing's fault. On the contrary, I should thank him."

"Furthermore, Zhixing didn't talk about his own affairs; he talked about mine."

At this point, Chen Min'en stood up, looked at Secretary An, and said with a serious expression, "However, Lao An, I also need to inquire about Zhixing's matter. Don't think I'm overstepping my authority. Let's talk about this slowly."

"Old An, do you know why I left Qingjiang Province in the first place?"

"You know what my biggest regret in life is, right?"

Secretary An hadn't thought much about whether it was overstepping his authority, but seeing Chen Min'en speaking to him with such a serious expression, Secretary An felt a little strange.

But of course he knew.

Or rather, anyone who knows Chen Min'en and is familiar with the Chen family knows this.

Chen Min'en left Qingjiang Province because he lost his child.

In the end, legend has it that the child did not die, but disappeared. Because of this, the Chen family searched extensively, and the fact that they could not find the child was Chen Min'en's biggest regret.

Why say these things at this time?

Secretary An didn't speculate too much, he simply nodded and said, "I know, it's a child."

Chen Min'en took a deep breath, nodded, then took out the photos and handed them to Secretary An, saying in a deep voice, "Old An, take a look at the photos first."

Secretary An took the photo with a puzzled look on his face, then suddenly looked up at Chen Min'en, looked at the photo again, and finally became a little excited.

"Min'en, this person, this person looks just like you when you were young."

"You found it?"

"How did you find it?"

"Has it been tested?"

Secretary An had seen Chen Min'en when he was young. Of course, Chen Min'en was not very young at that time, but you could still see the shadow of his younger self.

The person in the photo looks a lot like Chen Min'en when he was young, and also bears some resemblance to him now. Coupled with what Chen Min'en just said, Secretary An couldn't help but think in this direction.

Chen Min'en nodded and said, "This person is called Chen Jingcheng. I'm pretty sure he's my child."

"Of course, it hasn't been tested yet, so I need your help."

"Old An, I'm not speaking in any other capacity, but as your friend and as a member of the Chen family. I hope you will take this seriously and keep it strictly confidential."

"If you're having any trouble, you can tell me now, and I can find someone else to handle it!"

Upon hearing this and seeing Chen Min'en's serious expression, Secretary An immediately stood up and said to Chen Min'en with utmost seriousness, "Min'en, putting aside our relationship, Old Chen has done me a great favor."

"This is a major event, a momentous event, and a joyous occasion! Just tell me what you need me to do!"

"Don't worry, if you say it's a secret, I will definitely keep it a secret for you!"

Secretary An couldn't possibly refuse Chen Min'en. When Chen Min'en spoke to him as a friend, and even as a member of the Chen family, he knew that he had no chance of refusing.

Secretary An was well aware of the seriousness of the matter, as it concerned Chen Min'en's biological child who had been missing for many years.

After all, Chen Min'en is not just a member of the Chen family, but the current leader of the Chen family!

It's a flag!

When he speaks in this capacity, the meaning becomes completely different.

Chen Min'en took a deep breath, looked at Secretary An, and said in a deep voice, "Old An, the first thing."

"I need you to immediately arrange for the most reliable people to secretly send the child's genetic sample and my own genetic sample to be tested as quickly as possible!"

"Have them process this urgently and keep our identities strictly confidential. Of course, we can use pseudonyms. You arrange this; I'll wait here for the results."
