After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 435, Episode 476: That Magical Watch (Part 1)

Xu Shan moved quickly, and the child was also rushing forward at a fast pace. With the interaction of these two forces, a conspicuous red mark was left on the child's neck by the collar.

The child was so frightened that he stood there forgot to cry after Xu Shan helped him up. His face was expressionless and blank, and even his eyes were unfocused.

The teacher who rushed over was terrified; the man picked him up and swung him back and forth and up and down.

"Li Wei, Wei as in teacher, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, teacher is here. Let teacher see if you fell and hurt yourself? Does it hurt? Come back to life, come back to life quickly, wake up quickly."

When shaking it didn't work, I slapped its buttocks and back repeatedly.

This demeanor made Xu Shan, who had a clear conscience, feel inexplicably guilty.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuexi and her husband had already retreated three or four meters away from him, looking like outsiders watching the spectacle.

What's even more outrageous is that Huo Han had somehow gotten a handful of sunflower seeds in his hand and was shelling them, feeding one to his wife.

He's inhuman.

Fortunately, Xu Shan was lucky enough to encounter teachers and students from a military academy. They knew more than the teachers and students outside. When they saw the child being so forcefully prevented from approaching, and the uprightness of the people who were stopping him, they understood what needed to be understood.

After the child regained consciousness, he didn't cry or make a fuss. Instead, he looked like he had done something wrong and didn't dare to lift his head. The teacher breathed a sigh of relief, quickly apologized, and then hurriedly took the child away.

After this incident, Lin Yuexi lost interest in staying any longer. Many people had already turned their attention to them. It wasn't that she was socially awkward, but if she stayed any longer, she would likely add to the burden on the security personnel.

Huo Han was somewhat worried that his wife's emotions would be affected, but unfortunately, his wife always seemed to be very calm and composed, at least in front of him. He wanted to try to calm her down, so after racking his brains, he came up with something that he had encountered recently that could be considered somewhat amusing.

"A few days ago, when we were arresting people in Beijing, we encountered an amusing incident that can be described as someone walking right into a trap."

Lin Yuexi was unaware of his inner thoughts, simply assuming that he knew she liked gossip and would share things that didn't need to be kept secret with her.

So they perked up their ears with great interest.

Not only Lin Yuexi wanted to hear it, but Xu Shan and the others did too, because they had already heard some rumors that many bizarre things had happened during the National Security Bureau's major operation.

"Deputy Director Wu of the Forestry Bureau..."

Knowing his wife's love for gossip, Huo Han explained things in detail.

It all started with profit, and that initial profit, to put it somewhat ridiculous, was a watch, a men's watch worth 120 yuan.

"Deputy Director Wu and Director Feng are classmates and colleagues. They were competitors when they were in school. Deputy Director Wu is more popular than Director Feng, while Director Feng's abilities in various aspects are slightly better than Deputy Director Wu's."

In this era, the most popular type of face is the square and resolute one, which is what Deputy Director Wu fits perfectly. Elders think he is reliable, and young women think he is handsome. Director Feng, on the other hand, is more of a pretty boy type. He has an oval face and single eyelids, and he doesn't tan easily.

Contrary to his appearance, Director Feng's abilities in all aspects coincidentally surpassed those of Deputy Director Wu. Just like the first and second place rankings, Director Feng always came in first, while Deputy Director Wu could only ever be second no matter how hard he tried.

Therefore, Deputy Director Wu was very dissatisfied with Director Feng, but at this point, it hadn't reached the point of hatred.

Until the arrival of a transfer student named Liu Ye. Liu Ye was not only beautiful and academically excellent, but also possessed the air of a highly educated person. She was very quiet and always greeted everyone with a smile and treated everyone with gentleness. She immediately became the recognized school beauty, attracting the attention of countless male students, as well as Director Feng and Deputy Director Wu.

Deputy Director Wu admitted that although he was inferior to Director Feng in some ways, he was confident that Liu Ye would choose him over the spineless pretty boy Director Feng, based on his popular looks and popularity with girls.

However, the reality is that Liu Ye was originally Director Feng's fiancée. Their marriage was arranged by their parents, and Liu Ye's transfer to another school was specially arranged by both sets of parents for the young couple.

After learning the truth, Deputy Director Wu first thought Liu Ye was blind, then thought Liu Ye might have been forced, and finally firmly believed that Director Feng was playing a trick on him.

From that moment on, he harbored a deep hatred for Director Feng.

Here comes another character: Zhou Tong, the wife of Deputy Director Wu.

Before Liu Ye transferred schools, Zhou Tong was the school beauty. After Liu Ye arrived, her position as school beauty changed hands. Moreover, the school had originally promised her the opportunity to host the school anniversary celebration, but after Liu Ye arrived, it was changed to Liu Ye hosting. Although Liu Ye declined, all these factors combined still made Zhou Tong, who was not very broad-minded, hate Liu Ye.

These two couples are the same as the control group. Although it is only Deputy Director Wu and his wife who are constantly being compared with Director Feng and his wife, they are not like family members who don't belong together. They really compare themselves to Director Feng and his wife even when they are drinking water. If they win, they will be secretly happy for a long time. If they lose, they are almost crying together.

Being a native of Beijing doesn't guarantee a permanent job there. After graduating, Director Feng was assigned to the south, while Deputy Director Wu was assigned to the north. Despite being in different parts of the country, Deputy Director Wu and his wife remained steadfast in their efforts to keep an eye on Director Feng and his wife, comparing everything they did to them, from their careers to their marriages.

Director Feng's family background was average; both his parents worked, and he had no powerful connections. His career advancement depended entirely on his own abilities.

Deputy Director Wu's family is better off than Director Feng's. His grandfather once held an important position, and although he has retired, he still has some connections.

On the surface, it seems that Deputy Director Wu has a better future, but in reality, Deputy Director Wu's promotion speed is always one step slower than Director Feng's.

This was already enough to make Deputy Director Wu feel frustrated, but the fact that Director Feng and his wife had a very good relationship made it even more unbearable for Deputy Director Wu.

When Director Feng was young, he was injured while saving someone. The location of the injury is hard to describe, but in short, he will never be able to have his own biological child.

After finding out about this, Deputy Director Wu had been hoping that Liu Ye would divorce Director Feng. He couldn't compete with her in his career, but if he won in marriage, he would still be the one to defeat Director Feng.

But then came another blow: Liu Ye not only didn't divorce Director Feng, but they also adopted a martyr's orphan, and the three of them lived a wonderful life.

She is a girl who is less than half a year old. They dote on her like a treasure. She is currently in the first year of junior high school, has excellent grades, and is also the captain of the Young Pioneers.

Then look at your own son, who rolls on the floor whenever he's unhappy: "..."

Deputy Director Wu felt that nothing was going right for him.

Three years ago, they were both transferred back to Beijing Forestry Bureau, becoming the two leaders, one in charge and one in deputy charge.

Even though they were separated by a distance, Deputy Director Wu and his wife couldn't stand seeing Director Feng and his wife doing better than them. Now that they saw each other all the time, they were even more distressed and anxious.

Then something happened that completely shattered the rational mind in Deputy Director Wu's head.

The watch that made him forget his original aspirations appeared.
