Reaching the Pinnacle: Starting from Joining the Discipline Inspection Commission

Hearing Yan Xiaoqian say this, Wang Feng was stunned. Before he could react, he saw Yan Xiaofeng walk out from around the corner.

At that moment, Wang Feng's brain clearly went blank.

He stared blankly at Yan Xiaofeng, his face full of doubt and confusion.

When did he arrive?

How long have you been here?

What did he hear? Or did he overhear your entire conversation with Yan Xiaoqian?

Yan Xiaofeng looked at Wang Feng, who was staring blankly at him, and said with a smile, "What? Don't you recognize this old man?"

Upon hearing Yan Xiaofeng speak, Wang Feng finally reacted and hurriedly tried to get down, but Yan Xiaoqian pressed him down.

"Don't move around, your wound hasn't healed yet."

Seeing his daughter like this, Yan Xiaofeng couldn't help but roll his eyes. They hadn't even gotten very far yet, and she was already this thoughtful?

The thought that his sweet little girl would have to be sweet to someone else from now on filled him with indescribable emotions.

However, he was not angry with Wang Feng. On the contrary, he had always admired Wang Feng.

"Alright, you don't need to come down. Otherwise, someone will say I'm heartless again."

Yan Xiaofeng waved his hand to give up, and Wang Feng's face showed deep embarrassment, not knowing how to respond.

Yan Xiaoqian glared at her father, but he ignored her completely.

"Dad, you heard what Wang Feng said just now. Are you going to agree or not?"

Yan Xiaofeng did not answer Yan Xiaoqian's question directly, but instead looked at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng felt extremely uncomfortable under Yan Xiaofeng's gaze, especially with the other man's deep eyes making him feel like he was being seen through.

"Xiaoqian, go outside for a while. I need to have a private talk with Comrade Wang Feng."

Hearing that her father wanted to send her away, Yan Xiaoqian was clearly unwilling and was about to speak when she heard Wang Feng say:

"Xiaoqian, just listen to Secretary Yan. I think Secretary Yan must have his reasons for doing this."

Hearing Wang Feng say that, Yan Xiaoqian pouted somewhat reluctantly, but before leaving, she still waved her fist, as if to say, "You're not allowed to bully Wang Feng."

"Don't worry, how could I bully him? He's my precious daughter's savior..."

Yan Xiaofeng spoke helplessly.

After a while.

Only Wang Feng and Yan Xiaofeng remained in the ward.

"Secretary Yan, I..."

Wang Feng was about to speak when Yan Xiaofeng waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "There's no Secretary Yan here, just a father, nothing more. Just call me Uncle Yan."

Wang Feng glanced at Yan Xiaofeng, already knowing that the upcoming conversation would inevitably revolve around Yan Xiaoqian.

"Wang Feng, tell me the truth, before this, did you ever doubt Xiaoqian's identity?"

Yan Xiaofeng spoke.

"Secretary Yan...no...Uncle Yan..."

Seeing Yan Xiaofeng's feigned anger, Wang Feng quickly changed his tune, continuing without hesitation, "No!"

"After what happened last night, did you ever think that I might be her father?"

Yan Xiaofeng continued to ask.

"To be honest, I thought Xiaoqian's father would be a very important person, but I never thought she would be your daughter."

Wang Feng spoke.

This was the truth, because he had only met Yan Xiaofeng once with Tang Mingde, and he hadn't seen Yan Xiaoqian that time either.

Besides, there are so many people with the surname Yan, and there are others besides Yan Xiaofeng. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't think of Yan Xiaofeng.

Who would have thought that Yan Xiaofeng's daughter would be working as a junior staff member in the Rongzhou Municipal Government? If this gets out, how will everyone else save face?

Yan Xiaofeng stared at Wang Feng, seemingly trying to ascertain the truthfulness of his words.

"Now that you know, what are your thoughts?"

Yan Xiaofeng continued speaking.

Upon hearing this question, Wang Feng frowned slightly, not even noticing that his forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat.

Yan Xiaofeng's questions were getting harder and harder to answer.

"Uncle Yan, do you believe me?"

Yan Xiaofeng was surprised that Wang Feng would ask such a question. He stared at Wang Feng for a long time before nodding.

If he didn't believe it, he wouldn't be here.

Wang Feng quickly realized the problem, so he scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Uncle Yan, to be honest, I do like her, but it has nothing to do with her social status..."

Yan Xiaofeng nodded, signaling Wang Feng to continue.

"Being with her makes me feel genuinely happy. There seems to be a kind of inexplicable light shining into my heart from her."

"So, you want to be with her?"

Wang Feng nodded, then shook his head. Yan Xiaofeng saw this and chuckled.

Are you worried that your situation will drag her down with you?

Wang Feng nodded, thought for a moment, and continued, "The matter with the leader hasn't been completely resolved yet, and the enemy certainly won't let me off easily... Plus, with this happening now, it's impossible not to worry."

"To be honest, the main reason this happened is because of me. She's already been frightened once, and I don't want it to happen again."

Wang Feng's confession made Yan Xiaofeng's eyes flash. He stared at Wang Feng as if he saw the shadow of Tang Mingde.

It is said that the kind of master you are will produce the kind of person you become. Wang Feng was trained by Tang Mingde, and the two are almost identical.

In some matters, he lacks absolute decisiveness, a quality that Xu Chu excels at.

"Wang Feng, why do you sound like you're blaming me for not protecting Xiaoqian well?"

Yan Xiaofeng's sudden words left Wang Feng completely baffled. Where did this come from?

"Uncle Yan, that's not what I meant..."

Wang Feng was in a bit of a headache and quickly lowered his head to explain, but he didn't notice the fleeting mischievousness in Yan Xiaofeng's eyes.

"Yeah?"

"Why do I hear a hint of complaint in your voice? Or am I mistaken?"

"Wang Feng, I'm asking you, would I be wrong?"

Yan Xiaofeng's series of questions made Wang Feng's face show obvious panic. He couldn't understand why things had suddenly turned out this way.

Especially the last sentence, "Would I be wrong?", gave him a feeling of pressure that made his heart pound.

"Secretary Yan, I really didn't..."

Wang Feng tried to explain again, but before he could finish, Yan Xiaofeng snorted coldly. Wang Feng trembled and dared not look directly at him.

Wang Feng, I'm giving you two choices now—

1. Leave my daughter, and I will guarantee your meteoric rise to success. I will use all my connections to help you grow as quickly as possible.

Second, you've married my daughter, but you can forget about getting any help or resources from me, which means you might actually die!

After Yan Xiaofeng finished speaking, the entire ward became eerily quiet.

Apart from his own breathing, Wang Feng could hear no other sound. Deep in his mind, two little figures appeared, arguing frantically…
