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

In any case, each of the Thirteen Protectors had their own agenda.

The matter was so important that not all thirteen bodyguards were present.

Liu Changsheng leaned back in his chair. "The report came quickly, and the relevant personnel are verifying it."

Sha Ruijin calmly said, "Comrade Changsheng, when reporting an ordinary cadre, you must also follow the facts and procedures."

Besides, the person making the report is the director of the provincial public security bureau; the evidence hasn't even been presented yet, and they've already summoned the standing committee members overnight. Is that appropriate?

Liu Changsheng leaned back in his chair. "Secretary Sha, the matter is urgent."

Chen Shan controls the entire province's public security force. If we follow the standard procedures, who can guarantee that the information won't be leaked?

Think of Ding Yizhen, who had an accident in Jingzhou not long ago.

Dong Jianming nodded, "Secretary Sha is right."

Governor Liu's concerns are not without merit.

However, without evidence, the meeting could not reach an agreement.

In short, he didn't offend either side.

Feng Liqun took a sip of tea. "Comrade Jianming, what you said is as good as saying nothing at all. It would have been better if you hadn't said anything at all. Is it appropriate for a provincial party committee secretary-general to say something like that?"

Tung Kin-ming closed his notebook. "The more you say things without evidence, the more mistakes you make."

What are we doing sitting here in the middle of the night?

"Wait for the evidence." Feng Liqun was momentarily speechless, then scraped the tea leaves with the cup lid and remained silent.

If it weren't for the other provincial standing committee members, they would have directly taken action against Tung Kin-ming, that idiot.

Gao Yuliang looked up. "Executive Qi has obtained the evidence and is on his way."

Sha Ruijin put on his glasses. "Comrade Yuliang, what kind of evidence is this?"

Today I'm wearing glasses without prescription lenses, mainly to show off.

"The report materials include photos and videos," Gao Yuliang said casually.

Sha Ruijin asked, "Has the video content been verified?"

I feel like everyone is keeping things from me, and I feel like I'm being sidelined by everyone.

Why hasn't that old man, Tian Guofu, arrived yet?

Is he sleeping with his wife in his arms, or has he gotten diarrhea again?

Liu Changsheng stated frankly, "Comrade Ruijin, we have conducted a preliminary verification."

Sha Ruijin continued, "Who verified it?"

Could it be that Tian Guofu verified it?

If Tian Guofu verified it, Sha Ruijin felt like he had swallowed a fly.

This little Tianzi actually did something behind my back.

How can this be allowed?

Liu Changsheng deliberately kept everyone in suspense, shrugging his hands, "Comrade Ruijin, he hasn't arrived yet. If you ask me, this is all I can say."

Once everyone has arrived, the mystery will be revealed.

After they finished speaking, they each picked up their cups.

To hide his displeasure, Sha Ruijin gulped down a large amount of water in one go.

Depend on!

The emergency meeting hadn't even started yet, and more than half the water had already been drunk.

Believe it or not, one sip and you're instantly wide awake.

Qi Tongwei didn't come.

What on earth are they all doing?

Two hours ago.

Jingzhou Laifu Nursing Home.

Zheng Xipo and Zheng Shengli's figures disappeared at the entrance of the nursing home.

Chen Yanshi turned around and walked back to his small courtyard.

He walked to the table with his hands behind his back, picked up the reading glasses on it, and put them on.

Wang Fuzhen was wiping the water stains on the coffee table with a rag.

"Honey, the water's gotten cold. I'll go get you another glass."

Wang Fuzhen straightened up and picked up her teacup.

Actually, Wang Fuzhen didn't want to be so busy. It was mainly because her son Chen Shan had an accident, and she wanted to do something, so she frequently wiped the table to pass the time.

"Stop fussing over it." Chen Yanshi patted the table, his voice low. "Lock the door and come sit down."

We need to discuss what to do.

Wang Fuzhen was stunned. She put down her teacup, went over and locked the door from the inside.

She pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Chen Yanshi.

"Old Chen, what do you think we should do?" Wang Fuzhen rubbed her hands on her apron.

Chen Yanshi tapped his fingers heavily on the table twice.

"We need to report Chen Shan tonight."

There was no sound from inside the house.

You could hear a pin drop.

Wang Fuzhen's eyes widened, and her breath caught in her throat for a few seconds.

She stood up abruptly, the chair legs scraping loudly on the floor.

"Old Chen, are you crazy?! Chen Shan is our son! Your own son!" Wang Fuzhen's voice rose involuntarily.

"Old Wang, what are you yelling about?" Chen Yanshi raised his hand and pressed down, "Sit down! Are you afraid they can't hear you outside?"

Wang Fuzhen's eyes reddened, and she placed her hands on the table, leaning closer to Chen Yanshi.

"Even if Chen Shan did something terrible, he's still my flesh and blood! Sending him in will ruin his life!" Wang Fuzhen cried, tears streaming down her face. "Old Chen, even if Chen Shan made a mistake, he'll only be in there for four or five years. What can he do after he gets out? Can't we support him for the rest of his life?"

"Four or five years?" Chen Yanshi sneered. "Old woman, are you senile? Do you think this is child's play? This is a life-or-death struggle."

Wang Fuzhen wiped away her tears. "Isn't that right? If someone is greedy for money and has some issues with their conduct, they can just make up the difference by returning the money."

"Let me tell you, four or five years is multiplication! Four times five!" Chen Yanshi slammed his hand on the table. "Twenty years is the minimum!"

Wang Fuzhen's legs went weak, and she slumped into the chair.

"Twenty...twenty years?" Her lips trembled, and she could barely speak.

Chen Yanshi sighed, "Old Wang, what we photographed was just the tip of the iceberg."

How many outrageous things has Chen Shan done behind our backs all these years?

This can't be kept secret any longer; the truth is about to be revealed!

"Twenty years is an understatement! By the time he gets out, he'll be over sixty, an old man, completely finished! He definitely won't be able to find a job."

"You can't be the one to report it!" Wang Fuzhen was already sobbing uncontrollably. "It's one thing for others to report it, but what kind of parent would push their son into a fire pit! I won't go! You report it! I won't be the bad guy!"

For the first time in her life, Wang Fuzhen felt that she couldn't understand Lao Shitou and that Lao Shitou was terrifying.

The two of them slept in the same bed, yet he didn't understand Chen Yanshi at all.

I'm depreesed!

Chen Yanshi took off his reading glasses, threw them on the table, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples.

"Old Wang, do you think I wanted this? I'm his father, I love him more than you do! Without me, he wouldn't be where he is today!" Chen Yanshi opened his eyes, staring at Wang Fuzhen. "But use your brain! I, Chen Yanshi, have cherished my reputation my whole life, and this worthless bastard has ruined it all!"

If Chen Shan were an ant, Chen Yanshi would want to stomp him to death right now.

Wang Fuzhen was too busy crying to listen to anything.

Chen Yanshi lowered his voice, each word sounding as if squeezed out from between his teeth.

ruthless!

pain!

"Now that the Liang family is down! The situation in Handong is changing every day. Chen Shan's position as the Director of the Public Security Bureau has long been coveted. He can't keep it! Once he falls, our Chen family will suffer too!" Chen Yanshi pointed out the window. "How many eyes are watching us? As long as we take the initiative to put aside our own family ties, the glory that originally belonged to the Chen family will remain! Our Chen family won't fall!"

Wang Fuzhen wiped away her tears and sniffed.

"Fine, report it. I won't get involved anyway." Wang Fuzhen compromised. She knew she couldn't persuade the old man otherwise. "Call Xiao Jinzi. He's the top official in the provincial party committee. Let's report the situation to him truthfully. He'll definitely show leniency and reduce his sentence for us."
