Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

A lifetime's future, all rewritten by an accident.

Otherwise, according to the original plan, Zhao Ruilong would have inevitably pursued a career in politics and would not have gone into business.

Zhao Xiaohui's eyes were full of regret. "So later you did everything you could to protect him and indulge him, even when he was expanding recklessly and making crazy profits in Handong, you always turned a blind eye."

It's not about favoritism or spoiling; it's about feeling deeply indebted.

Zhao Lichun remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding.

This is the thing he feels most guilty about and can never make up for in his life.

The idea was to have his children do business in Handong, a region he governed.

A moment later, Zhao Lichun lit a cigarette. "Xiao Hui, actually, I think I'm fine."

Chen Yanshi, however, kept a close eye on me, Zhao Lichun, and kept reporting my problems to the relevant departments.

I tolerated it all; I didn't want to argue with him.

They always stir up trouble with baseless rumors.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaohui immediately understood. "Dad, I think some people are just jealous and can't stand seeing others do well."

Don't bother arguing with a retired old man.

Zhao Lichun picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Old Stone, Old Stone, that guy, he's been stubborn his whole life, always sticking to his principles."

He believed in absolute fairness and impartiality, and could not tolerate the slightest favoritism or compromise.

However, they also love to apply double standards.

He claimed to be selfless, yet he led the shareholders of Dafeng Factory to various units in Handong.

It's not simply a matter of black and white.

I'm too lazy to argue with him.

Different road non-phase plan.

Hatred cannot be resolved; it is a fight to the death.

The main issue is that I can't recall any conflict between Chen Yanshi and me.

Zhao Xiaohui wanted to do something for her father, but Zhao Lichun refused.

He smoked a cigarette while frying firecrackers on the day of Lichun, rode a donkey and looked at the account book, and said, "We'll see how it goes."

Jingzhou City, Handong Province.

Laifu Nursing Home.

Hou Liangping and Zhou Zheng asked Chen Yanshi about the details of the traffic accident that year.

Chen Yanshi, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "Liangping, Xiao Zhou, I was the person in charge of that traffic accident back then. The procedures were all in accordance with regulations, and no one could find fault with it."

My stance is to take care of the vulnerable groups, and Zhao Ruilong should bear full responsibility.

Zhao Lichun took the initiative to contact the hospital to treat the injured, actively compensated them, obtained the understanding of the injured and their families, and accepted the punishment.

Given the circumstances at the time, Zhao Ruilong would definitely have to be detained, and I proposed a 15-day detention.

Theoretically, it takes 7 to 15 days.

My reasons are sound: the traffic accident rate is showing an upward trend year by year, and severe penalties can serve as a deterrent.

The legal reasoning is clear and impeccable.

Chen Yanshi felt that this was also due to his own efforts.

They used to say that they only reformed Dafeng Factory, and that detaining Zhao Ruilong for 15 days was an achievement.

However, because of Zhao Lichun, very few people dare to bring this up publicly.

Hou Liangping shook his head. "But Elder Chen, the legal reasoning is sound, but the human element is questionable."

There were only two people in the car at the time, a father and son, who were very close.

At a critical juncture in Zhao Lichun's career, his son Zhao Ruilong voluntarily accepted punishment, raising suspicions that he might be trying to protect Zhao Lichun's future.

This seemingly perfect case might actually be a case of a son taking the blame for his father.

Zhou Zheng felt that today's trip was truly worthwhile, as he learned many things that others did not.

I'll go back and show off to Lin Huahua.

Hou Liangping connected all the past grievances and said, "Old Chen, I understand now. The root of your decades-long feud with Zhao Lichun was never the air conditioner incident."

You were the first to see through his true nature as an official.

Zhao Lichun is a despicable person.

For the sake of their own career advancement, they could tacitly allow their own sons to take the blame and commit crimes, sacrificing their children's futures for their own personal promotion.

Wang Fuzhen waved her hand, "You little rascal, don't talk nonsense, be careful the walls have ears."

As for who Zhao Lichun is, you can think about it in your heart if there's no basis for it, but don't go out and spread rumors.

Watch out for your monkey head.

Chen Yanshi shook his head, unconvinced. "Old Wang, I think Liangping's analysis is absolutely right."

Back then, Zhao Lichun's request to enjoy air conditioning and receive special treatment was a minor matter, merely the beginning of his problematic behavior.

I, Chen Yanshi, am a good person; I nipped the seed in the bud.

In that case, Zhao Lichun should thank me, Chen Yanshi.

I realized from that time that Zhao Lichun only cared about his future.

Therefore, my lifelong focus on Zhao Lichun and the Zhao family is not out of personal grudge, but for the public good!

Looking at Chen Yanshi's stubborn profile, Wang Fuzhen smiled wryly and said, "Old Chen, you old man, you've spent your whole life doing this kind of thankless job that offends people."

Others are enjoying their retirement.

You're still causing trouble even after you've retired.

He offended countless people in his life, gained no benefit whatsoever, and ended up with a lot of criticism.

Why bother?

Chen Yanshi threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it.

I imagine that the cigarette butt is Zhao Lichun, and I want to trample him under my feet.

"In my life, I, Chen Yanshi, have never sought official position, wealth, or fame."

Back then, I wasn't afraid to die carrying explosives; now, I'm speaking up for the people.

As long as I, Chen Yanshi, live, I will not tolerate people like Zhao Ruilong running rampant in Handong.

Even if no one understands, I have a clear conscience.

He thought to himself, "With a selfless heart, the world is naturally vast."

Hou Liangping gave a thumbs up, "Old Chen, your words are more valuable than ten years of study."

I, Hou Liangping, must learn from you.

What's the point of studying? This is all a waste of time.

To arrest someone, you need evidence, and you must be swift, accurate, and ruthless.

Chen Yanshi's words were only meant to be taken with a grain of salt; they were half true and half false.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for telling me your story." Zhou Zheng stood up. "Director Hou, let's go."

Hou Liangping straightened his collar. "Uncle Chen, it's goodbye. I'll come see you again in a few days."

Chen Yanshi thought about it and realized that Wang Wenge's matter was very troublesome.

Grabbing Hou Liangping's arm, she said, "Little Monkey, don't worry. Tell me about Wang Wenge, what should we do?"

Hou Liangping laughed, "I have a brilliant plan. Let me rest for a bit."

"Director Hou, take a break. Do you still think you're Ikkyu-san?" Zhou Zheng laughed.

Hou Liangping was never this humorous.

"What Ikkyu-san? I'm King Gigi, who loves eating bananas." Hou Liangping was brainwashed by the cartoon characters Xiong Da and Xiong Er.

I think the most fun character in the series is King Gigi.

Chen Yanshi couldn't understand what Hou Liangping and Zhou Zheng were saying.

He raised an eyebrow. "You little rascal, hurry up and tell me."

Hou Liangping deliberately kept everyone in suspense, saying, "With Zhao Ruilong taking the blame for his father, Wang Wenge's matter is nothing at all."

Chen Yanshi scratched his head. "Monkey, you mean to have Wang Wenge's son take the blame? That won't do, his son seems to be a minor. Even if it were possible, we can't do it like that!"

"Old Chen, we don't need someone to take the blame. What if Wang Wenge falls ill, say with an incurable disease? He can be released on parole or given a suspended sentence." Hou Liangping whistled and left.

The greatest wit in Handong is none other than Hou Liangping.

It was evening.

Qi Tongwei sat in his office and dialed Cheng Du's number. "Cheng Du, let's go out for a stroll tonight and experience the everyday life of Handong."

"Okay, Brother Tongwei, I'll go to the provincial government in a bit." Cheng Du agreed readily.

Qi Tongwei gave a word of advice: "Wear civilian clothes, not your police uniform."

"Okay. I understand. You can't see the real situation if you're wearing a police uniform." Cheng Du immediately took off his police hat and prepared to change his clothes.

Thirty minutes later.

in the night.

Secretary Cai Xiaofei drove the car, with Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du sitting in the back, as they left the provincial government building.

When they arrived near Handong University, the two got out of the car.

Wearing ordinary jackets, they blended in with the crowds on the bustling street.

At this time.

A tsk-tsk sound came from behind.

"Goose leg, it's so delicious!"

"That's for sure, Uncle Goose Leg's reputation is well-deserved."

"The students of Handong University are truly blessed."
