No one expected Liu Zhengxing to come and apologize in person.

When Yang Wenyan heard that he had arrived at work in the morning, he was somewhat shocked.

Most people would probably feel embarrassed after hearing his apology, and then the matter with Liu Weidong would be considered closed.

After all, he, the head of the personnel department, personally went to apologize to a lowly female employee. If she didn't accept it, she would be incredibly ungrateful.

Liu Zhengxing is indeed clever, but unfortunately his son and daughter are both good-for-nothings.

Everyone was waiting for Qiao Lanshu's reply.

Liu Zhenxing was slightly chubby and tall. He always had a smile on his face, but his eyes were very deep when he looked at people.

He's obviously a cunning old fox; he knows how to manipulate people.

Qiao Lanshu remained silent for a while. Secretary Wen, getting a little anxious, urged Qiao Lanshu, "Comrade Qiao, what are you thinking now? Say something!"

Liu Zhengxing smiled and said, "Don't rush, Comrade Xiao Qiao can think it over carefully. I'm not in a hurry either."

Then he added:

"This is indeed my unfilial son's fault. I've been too busy with work these past two years, so I've neglected my two children at home, which is why they made these mistakes. Comrade Xiao Qiao, I've also heard about my daughter putting up big-character posters for you. Don't worry, I'll have them come over tomorrow to apologize to you in person."

Now that Liu Zhengxing has arrived, Qiao Lanshu certainly can't keep bringing this up.

Otherwise, if word gets out, who knows what will happen to her reputation.

Qiao Lanshu said, "Section Chief Liu, I don't blame them, but what I don't understand is why they are targeting me? They put up big-character posters and impersonated personnel staff to call me out... I'm worried they'll come after me again without knowing the reason."

Liu Zhengxing stared at Qiao Lanshu for a few moments before saying:

"Well, I haven't asked yet. Wei Dong has been at the police station since last night, and I haven't even seen him. But don't worry, I can assure you that the two of them won't cause you any more trouble. If they do, just let me know, and I'll take care of them for you."

Having said all that, Qiao Lanshu nodded and said, "Section Chief Liu, I'm relieved to hear you say that."

That concludes the matter. Liu Zhengxing even offered to treat Qiao Lanshu to dinner, but Qiao Lanshu dared not go.

Be careful not to get poisoned by him.

No sooner had Liu Zhengxing left the food factory than Liu Weidong was released from the police station.

Although Qin Yuanzheng had previously said that he wanted the police to thoroughly investigate the case, he was also prepared to take some time to visit the police station and personally question Liu Weidong.

But before the military could intervene, Liu Zhengxing personally went to apologize to Qiao Lanshu, and then, under the pretext of reconciliation, took Liu Weidong home.

Liu Weijun, who hadn't frequented the warehouse or workshop in a long time, came running over to talk to Qiao Lanshu upon hearing the news: "Sister-in-law, I heard that guy surnamed Liu was released?"

Qiao Lanshu nodded.

Liu Weijun slapped his thigh and said angrily, "You shouldn't have accepted their apology. Letting them go so easily is too lenient on him."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "I just went to check, and Liu Weihong still didn't come to work today. I guess she's too ashamed to come. If she comes, I'll definitely go over and say a few words to her."

The moment Qiao Lanshu saw Liu Zhengxing, she knew that the Public Security Bureau couldn't control Liu Weidong.

She whispered, "Zheng said that Liu Weidong can't be sentenced to labor reform for impersonating someone from the personnel department to find me. The military is the most fair and just, and they won't punish someone for a minor offense. So, since he's going to leave anyway, he might as well accept Section Chief Liu's apology to avoid giving them another excuse to target me and Zheng."

Liu Zhengxing looks like a difficult person to deal with, completely different from Liu Weihong and her brother.

Once Liu Weidong is released, he will naturally reveal his weaknesses on his own.

Deng Weijun actually understood this principle as well.

After all, Section Chief Liu had come in person. If Qiao Lanshu still wouldn't let it go, things would get complicated.

Deng Weijun was still cursing and swearing: "I've heard of this Liu Weidong before. He's very popular in the Longcheng area. He loves playing cards, often changes partners, and he's unlucky and often loses money, but he has a lot of money and isn't afraid to lose."

Qiao Lanshu immediately asked, "Weijun, do you know this Liu Weidong?"

Deng Weijun: "I know him, but he doesn't know me."

After all, Liu Weidong was very influential, and many young people in Longcheng had heard of him.

His reputation wasn't very good either; he would pressure pretty girls into dating him, and some girls were afraid of him just by hearing his name.

Qiao Lanshu lowered her voice and said, "He's been released from the police station. Keep an eye on him for the next few days. I want to see what he's been up to."

Qiao Lanshu spoke tactfully, but Deng Weijun understood.

Qiao Lanshu was keeping an eye on Liu Weidong to see if he would make a mistake, so he could report it and have Liu Weidong arrested and sent to a labor camp.

Deng Weijun immediately said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law! Leave this to me, I'll definitely handle it perfectly for you."

As he spoke, Deng Weijun hurriedly ran off.

……

Meanwhile, Liu Weidong went home immediately after leaving the police station.

When he got home, he saw his father, Liu Zhengxing, and Liu Weihong were both there.

Liu Weihong stayed at home because she felt ashamed to go to work after being demoted.

Liu Zhengxing, on the other hand, waited at home specifically for Liu Weidong to return.

Liu Weidong limped into the house, looked at Liu Zhengxing, and said with some surprise, "Dad? Why didn't you go to work today? It's so late, why are you still at home?"

Liu Zhengxing stared coldly at Liu Weidong, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "If I hadn't been home today, do you think you would have come back unscathed?"

Liu Weidong said casually, "Dad, I'm not completely unharmed either; I injured my leg."

Liu Zhengxing: "..."

Liu Zhengxing stood up, walked a few steps to Liu Weidong, pointed at him, and said, "Didn't I warn you? I don't care how you behave outside, but there's only one thing: don't offend anyone in the military. Why didn't you listen?"

Liu Weidong said, "Dad, I've always remembered that. I haven't offended anyone in the military."

Liu Zhengxing sneered: "No? How did you get arrested and taken to the police station this time? And why haven't they released you even though you've been there overnight? Isn't it because you offended a military family member?"

Liu Weidong felt a little guilty, but he still said, "I'm just a military family member, it's nothing, right? Besides, look at me, I'm back now, aren't I?"

At this point, Liu Weidong said with some pride, "I knew it, Dad, you would definitely have a way."

"Snap."

Liu Zhengxing slapped Liu Weidong.

Liu Weidong was stunned by the beating. Liu Weihong, who was sitting in the hall watching the play, changed her expression upon seeing this scene. She quickly stood up and hurriedly went back to her room.

Liu Weidong looked at his father in disbelief: "Dad, why did you hit me? I didn't do anything wrong, why are you hitting me?"

Looking at his son, Liu Zhengxing suddenly felt a bit weary.

He lowered his voice and said seriously, "You'd better tone it down a bit lately. Don't sell that 'powder' for now. Wait a month or two until we have a new Party Secretary."

Liu Weidong said, somewhat puzzled, "Dad, how do you know our municipal party secretary is going to be replaced? Also, I'm very careful selling that medicine powder; no one will find out."

Liu Zhengxing said seriously, "Didn't you hear the news? The inspection team is coming soon, and martial law is being enforced everywhere. If they find out anything about you, even the King of Heaven himself can't save you!"

Liu Weidong still didn't take it seriously. He said, "You don't want me to sell the medicine powder, but you always ask me for money. If we don't sell that stuff, where will our family's money come from? Weren't you quite supportive before?"

Liu Zhengxing did indeed take a lot of money from his son.

So now he wasn't as assertive, and said somewhat impatiently, "Anyway, you'd better stay home and recover for the time being. Don't go out, and definitely don't sell that thing. We'll think about it again after this period, understand?"

Liu Weidong didn't take these words to heart at all, but he still nodded on the surface, after all, he was still somewhat afraid of his father.

He nodded, then said impatiently, "Okay, okay, I won't sell it anymore, alright?"

Liu Zhengxing was relieved to see that his son had agreed, and then turned around and went out to work.

Liu Weidong returned to his room, lifted the blankets, and pulled open the bed board underneath, revealing a pile of things underneath.

The items were wrapped in oil paper, small rectangles about two fingers wide, and each piece was neatly arranged.

He took out a package, looked at it, and said with some regret, "What a pity, such valuable stuff!"

Such a small piece can sell for hundreds of dollars, making more money than gold.

Over the past two years, he has earned money from selling this and exchanged it for stacks of banknotes, which are all piled up under another board on his bed.

Although he had promised Liu Zhengxing that he wouldn't sell it.

However, he still had to deliver the orders that had been placed by customers.

Anyway, he's sold them countless times already, so it's impossible for something to go wrong on these two occasions.

Thinking this, Liu Weidong took out two pieces and put them in his pocket, intending to go out after dark.
