Official excuse: I was sent to work at the grassroots level for training, and Hou Liangping arrested

"Little Jinzi, Little Jinzi! Your Uncle Chen is here." Chen Yanshi rushed forward, forcefully pushing aside Li Dakang, and grabbed Sha Ruijin's hand.

Sha Ruijin's face stiffened, a fleeting displeasure crossing his eyes. He said calmly, "Uncle Chen, you've come all this way so late. You're an old revolutionary."

"What if something happens to you? How am I supposed to explain this to the other uncles?"

Sha Ruijin's unspoken message was: Don't interfere in Dafeng Factory's affairs, go back to your nursing home.

Chen Yanshi pretended not to understand and said with a smile, "I was just worried because I heard about the accident at Dafeng Factory. Xiao Jinzi, you are the Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, you have to stand up for the people."

“I have written hundreds of letters of complaint against Li Dakang over the years. He has completely ignored my complaints about Ding Yizhen.”

Sha Ruijin frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "This Chen Yanshi is indeed an old fox. He's putting pressure on me with his words."

Sha Ruijin withdrew his hand without showing any emotion and said calmly, "Uncle Chen, don't worry. I will definitely handle the Dafeng Factory matter impartially."

"That's good, that's good." Chen Yanshi nodded repeatedly, but a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He knew that although Sha Ruijin had agreed to his request on the surface...

The reason is actually quite simple: Dafeng Factory was restructured by Chen Yanshi himself, and it is his only "achievement" in recent years.

If Dafeng Factory is demolished, Chen Yanshi's political achievements will be lost.

That's why Chen Yanshi went to great lengths for Dafeng Factory.

Chen Yanshi smiled happily, then took Sha Ruijin's hand and said earnestly, "Little Jinzi. The employees of Dafeng Factory haven't made any major mistakes."

"It's all because of a few people with ulterior motives who were confused for a moment. Most of the workers are still good."

"We cannot condemn an ​​entire group based on a single example."

Hearing the old man speak like that right in front of him, Li Dakang felt a surge of displeasure.

It now seems that the relationship between Chen Yanshi and Sha Ruijin is somewhat delicate.

Should I seek refuge with Sha Ruijin?

This still needs to be carefully considered.

Politics boils down to two words: balance.

Li Dakang thought to himself, "Although Chen Yanshi is old, he is very shrewd and knows how to use relationships to exert pressure."

He and his wife, Ouyang Jing, had been separated for eight years. He seemed to remember Lin Yunfei mentioning that Ouyang Jing had accepted bribes.

Is it true that we shouldn't ignore this matter?

They all need to sever ties with Ouyang Jing as soon as possible.

You should know that his daughter, Li Jiajia, is studying abroad. Her tuition fees are over a million yuan every year.

Now that Lin Yunfei has discovered Ouyang Jing's problem, he must deal with it as soon as possible.

While Lin Yunfei (bjah) is injured and hospitalized, we should quickly resolve the matter to avoid future troubles.

Sha Ruijin remained calm and withdrew his hand again: "Uncle Chen, we... need to look at the issue from two perspectives."

"Qi Tongwei. I heard from Comrade Dakang that you decisively fired the shot and killed Wang Wenge, the criminal who was holding Comrade Yunfei hostage."

With a casual remark, Sha Ruijin directly shifted the topic to Qi Tongwei and simultaneously defined Wang Wenge's character.

Qi Tongwei was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Sha. The situation was extremely urgent, and I had to act decisively to ensure Comrade Yunfei's safety."

Sha Ruijin's gaze was deep as he slowly said, "You handled this matter well, Comrade Tongwei. The Provincial Party Committee will commend you for this incident."

Sha Ruijin's words were not merely praise for Qi Tongwei; he also changed his form of address to "Comrade Tongwei."

To some extent, Qi Tongwei saved Sha Ruijin's political life.

Qi Tongwei's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation, "Secretary Sha, I will personally go to the Provincial Party Committee tomorrow to report to you."

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang and Chen Yanshi's expressions changed drastically.

Within the system, what does reporting your work signify?

They're all shrewd people.

Qi Tongwei is trying to switch allegiance and align himself with Sha Ruijin, becoming one of Sha Ruijin's men.

Sha Ruijin hesitated. He knew Qi Tongwei's ambition; he had always wanted to become a vice-governor.

He came to Handong with a mission assigned to him by the Central Government and the Imperial Court: to find irrefutable evidence of Zhao Lichun's crimes.

Sha Ruijin pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Okay, Comrade Tongwei, see you tomorrow."

Li Dakang secretly pondered what the deeper meaning behind Qi Tongwei's actions was. Gao Yuliang, however, was unaware that his eldest disciple had done such a thing.

Sha Ruijin entered the factory and carefully inspected the damage, his brow furrowed. He turned to Li Dakang and said, "Secretary Dakang, you must investigate this thoroughly. Release the innocent civilians as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang quickly replied, "Yes, Secretary Sha."

After a while, Sha Ruijin left.

. . . . .

Instead of returning to the provincial party committee compound, he had his driver take him to the provincial people's hospital to visit the injured Lin Yunfei.

Outside the car window, night was deepening, and the streetlights cast dappled shadows.

I just took the elevator to the fifth-floor ward.

Zhao Lan, dressed in military uniform, stood at the door of the ward. She reached out to stop Sha Ruijin: "I'm sorry, Secretary Sha. My wife doesn't want to see you."

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin was slightly taken aback, then gave a wry smile: "I understand that Comrade Yunfei needs to rest right now. But I am here on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee to visit him. Could you make an exception?"

Zhao Lan's expression was firm and unyielding: "Secretary Sha, I'm truly sorry. My husband's meaning is very clear; he doesn't want to see anyone. Please understand."

Seeing this, Sha Ruijin didn't press the matter further and sighed softly, "Alright then, please convey to Comrade Yunfei that we hope he recovers soon. The Handong Provincial Committee still needs talents like him."

After saying that, Sha Ruijin turned and left, his steps slightly heavy.

The elevator doors slowly closed, swallowing Sha Ruijin's figure into the darkness.

Zhao Lan watched Sha Ruijin's retreating figure, a complex expression flashing in her eyes, before turning back to her ward.

Inside the ward, Lin Yunfei lay quietly on the bed, his face pale, but his eyes were unusually firm.

Zhao Lan walked to the bedside and gently took his hand: "Yunfei, Sha Ruijin has arrived, but I kept him out of the door as you instructed."

Lin Yunfei smiled slightly, his voice weak but full of strength: "Well done, Lanlan. I don't want to see anyone right now, including Chen Yanshi, Sha Ruijin, Hou Liangping, Gao Yuliang, and Ji Changming."

"If Uncle Liu comes, you can bring him in."

Zhao Lan nodded and said gently, "I know, don't worry. I will take good care of you."

As night deepened, only the whispers of Lin Yunfei and Zhao Lan remained in the ward, along with the occasional sound of the wind outside the window.

The outside world was still noisy, but in this small hospital room, it felt as if they were isolated from the world, with only the two of them left, quietly watching over each other.

Zhao Lan gently drew the curtains, and the ward immediately became much quieter.

"You know what? It scared me to death."

"What would I do if something happened to you?" Zhao Lan's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but show her true feelings as she leaned against Lin Yunfei.

Lin Yunfei gently patted Zhao Lan's back and comforted her, "Lanlan, don't cry. I'm fine, aren't I? Don't worry, I won't abandon you."

Zhao Lan looked up at Lin Yunfei, her eyes filled with worry: "Yunfei, you must rest well and recover soon. I'm still waiting for you to take me to see the sea."

Lin Yunfei smiled slightly, a warm feeling welling up in his heart: "Okay, when I'm better, we'll go see the sea. We'll go see the most beautiful seascape, and let our love be as vast and boundless as the sea."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lan finally smiled: "Yunfei, you have to keep your word. You can't go back on your word."

Lin Yunfei nodded solemnly: "Yes, I keep my word. Lanlan, you also have to promise me that you will take good care of yourself. Don't make me worry."

Zhao Lan nodded vigorously: "Yunfei, don't worry. I will take good care of myself. You must also promise me that you will recover soon."

As night deepened, the lights in the ward appeared exceptionally soft. Lin Yunfei and Zhao Lan clung tightly to each other, and the atmosphere began to grow intimate.

66. Sha Ruijin convened a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee overnight.

66. Sha Ruijin convened a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee overnight.

Dafeng Factory's live stream has finally come to an end.

However, the political impact of this live-streamed forced demolition is obvious.

Not only the entire Han Dynasty, but also Western countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan, have all become trending topics on foreign websites.

Sha Ruijin, the Party Secretary of Handong Province, almost ended his political life as well.

. . . . .

Inside the ward, Lin Yunfei, dressed in a hospital gown, fell into a deep sleep.

In the corridor outside the ward, Zhao Lan was on the phone with her father, Zhao Mengsheng.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Mengsheng's voice carried a hint of anxiety and worry: "Lanlan, how is Yunfei doing? What did the doctor say?"

Zhao Lan sighed softly, trying to make her voice sound calm: "Dad, the doctor said that Yunfei's condition is due to working at high intensity for many consecutive days, coupled with excessive mental stress."

"In addition to the shoulder blade injury I suffered this time, being held hostage by Wang Wenge for a full forty minutes has severely exhausted my body. This unconsciousness can be seen as a self-protective mechanism of my body. Fortunately, there is no danger to my life, but I need to rest for a while."

"At the very least, I need to take sixty days of sick leave to recover in the hospital."

Zhao Mengsheng was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said in a deep voice, "Lanlan, you've worked hard. Yunfei is always so dedicated."

"Tell him that health is the foundation of everything, and that everything should be done with health in mind. I will arrange my work as soon as possible and find time to visit him in Handong."

Zhao Lan nodded subconsciously. Although her father couldn't see, she still made the gesture instinctively: "Yes, Dad, I know. You should also take care of yourself and not stay up late working all the time."

"Minor matters of the cabinet can be delegated to the six ministers."

"Don't worry, Yunfei, I'll take care of things here."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lan stared at the closed ward door, her eyes filled with heartache and determination.

She knew that during this time, she had to be Lin Yunfei's strongest support and help him get through this difficult period.

Zhao Lan took a deep breath, gently pushed open the ward door, walked to Lin Yunfei's bedside, and gently held his hand.

. . . . .

At the same time, let’s talk about two things.

Inside the provincial party committee building in Handong, Sha Ruijin was holding an emergency meeting with several members of the provincial party committee standing committee.

Sha Ruijin frowned and said in a deep voice, "Comrades, the impact of this incident has far exceeded expectations. Our Handong has become infamous."
