Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Chen Hai took a step back. "I... how could I possibly arrest you?"

"Why not?" Chen Yanshi looked at him. "You're the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and I'm a retired cadre. It's perfectly justified for you to arrest me. Arresting me would just show that you're putting righteousness before family. Arresting me might even earn you more respect in the whole of Handong."

Chen Hai was speechless.

He looked at Chen Yanshi, at this old man with gray hair.

Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, I felt a pang of sadness.

"Dad, please stop talking."

Chen Hai cannot do such a thing.

"Then tell me, what should we do?" Chen Yanshi said this deliberately.

The more he said that, the less Chen Hai got angry.

No one knows a son better than his father, and Chen Yanshi understood his son Chen Hai best.

Chen Hai fell silent.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Dad, you should go and explain the situation to Tian Guofu, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Don't wait for others to report you, report yourself first.

In that case, there won't be any problems.

Chen Yanshi frowned. "Tian Guofu?"

Chen Hai thought this was the best approach. "Yes. You should take the initiative to find him and explain things clearly. Tell him who sent the gift, when it was sent, and why it was sent. That way, even if someone investigates later, you'll have an explanation."

This is the only solution Chen Hai can think of at the moment.

But Chen Yanshi hesitated.

"Hai Zi, have you thought about this? Doing this will offend a lot of people."

Wang Fuzhen walked over and said, "Old Chen, for the sake of Hai Zi's main hall, some people will ultimately have to sacrifice themselves."

You can sacrifice the person who gave you the gift, but you absolutely cannot stop your son Chen Hai from making progress.

Chen Yanshi looked at his wife, "Old Wang, are you saying I should reveal all the people who gave me gifts?"

"It's not about confessing, it's about explaining the situation." Wang Fuzhen thought this was a good idea. "Old Chen, you should explain to Tian Guofu that these things were forced upon you by someone else, and you originally wanted to return them, but you couldn't. Ask Tian Guofu to help you handle it. This way, you won't offend anyone, and you'll also preserve Haizi's opportunity for advancement."

Chen Yanshi fell silent.

I walked up to the potted lotus and reached out to touch the petals.

"These flowers are truly beautiful."

"Old Chen." Wang Fuzhen rolled her eyes at Chen Yanshi.

Chen Yanshi nodded. "Old Wang, I know."

He turned around and looked at Chen Hai. "Hai Zi, you're right. These things shouldn't have been accepted. Since they've already been accepted, they need to be dealt with. I'll call Tian Guofu right now."

Chen Hai breathed a sigh of relief. "Dad, thank you."

As long as he can improve, Chen Hai believes that others can be stepping stones for his progress.

They were in the wrong first.

"What are you thanking me for?" Chen Yanshi waved his hand. "I'm your father. If I don't help you, who will?"

He went inside, took out his phone, and was about to dial when it rang.

Chen Yanshi paused for a moment, then answered the call.

The caller was Tian Guofu. "Old Chen, this is Xiao Tian from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Once you learn that Chen Yanshi is Xiao Jinzi's adoptive father, you can be a little more humble.

"Secretary Guofu." Chen Yanshi was a little surprised.

What a coincidence!

Tian Guofu was relaying a message on behalf of Sha Ruijin: "Old Chen, Secretary Sha and I have decided to visit you and Old Wang at the nursing home tomorrow morning."

Chen Yanshi glanced at Chen Hai. "Okay, Secretary Guofu. I just happened to have something to tell you."

"Mr. Chen, I have another call. What is it? Let's talk in person tomorrow." Tian Guofu didn't want to say too much over the phone.

Without him.

There are indeed other things to attend to.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

The phone hangs up.

Chen Yanshi stood there, holding his phone.

Chen Hai walked over.

"Dad, whose phone is that?"

Chen Yanshi smiled. "Tian Guofu."

Chen Hai asked, "What did he say?"

"He said he and Xiao Jinzi would come to see me tomorrow morning." Chen Yanshi felt that the Chen family's chance to finally stand up for themselves had arrived.

Chen Hai thought it was a good thing, "Secretary Sha? My brother is coming, that's really great!"

"Mm." Chen Yanshi was very happy.

The father and son exchanged a glance.

After a burst of barking, the chirping of birds in the yard suddenly became shrill.

The Tibetan Mastiff puppy ran over again and bit Chen Hai's trouser leg.

Chen Hai looked down at it, his mind in turmoil.

Sha Ruijin will come tomorrow.

Tian Guofu will come tomorrow.

It's truly a stroke of luck!

the other side.

Lincheng City.

Chenjiazhuang Village.

The rain started again, pattering against the window frame.

Chen Yankui stood on the second-floor balcony.

The cigarette in his hand had burned down to the end, so he casually stubbed it out against the wall.

The eldest son's family, including Chen Changzhu, could not be contacted.

Chen Changqing never called again.

What does this tell us?

This indicates that his second son, who serves as the secretary of the municipal political and legal committee, could not be found in the urban area of ​​Lincheng City either.

Lincheng is Chen Changqing's territory, but now, this territory seems to be getting out of control.

Something's not right. The Chen family's efficiency in finding four people is so low. How can this be allowed?

Chen Yankui lived to be over seventy years old. He had experienced the old neighbors fighting over the land foundation and had also seen the wind blow.

The old man's wife, Chen Miaoshi, moved out of the house, clutching an old handkerchief in her hand.

"Honey, why don't we go straight to the city? My heart is pounding as we wait at home."

Chen Yankui didn't move. "Miaomiao, what are you going to the city for?"

"You think Changqing isn't chaotic enough? We'll just make things worse."

Chen Yankui's voice was somewhat hoarse.

He knew the second brother, Changqing's, personality; to become the third-in-command in Lincheng, he must be quite intelligent.

But the police chief Jiang Zhentao's phone was switched off; something was wrong.

Is this hiding, or betraying them?

I can't figure it out.

"We can't just stand by and watch," Chen Miao's eyes were a little red. "Qiangzi is our eldest grandson. If anything happens to him, the eldest branch of the family will be extinct. My eldest grandson, Qiangzi, where are you?"

Chen Yankui has already made quite a few phone calls, and Chen Changqing has asked Gao Qingyun, the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, to go and find him.

Why haven't we heard anything yet?

The eldest son, Chen Changgang, and the eldest son, Lin Yufen, could not be contacted.

The old man was also very anxious.

Chen Yankui sighed.

He took out his phone and looked at the familiar number on the screen.

Chen Yanshi.

His older brother.

He was formerly the Executive Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, and also a veteran revolutionary.

It can be said that Chen Yanshi is the greatest source of confidence for their entire family.

Chen Yankui had always been unwilling to ask his elder brother for help.

My older brother always talked about principles his whole life.

But now, Old Chen's grandson, Qiangzi, can't be found.

Principles are nothing compared to family legacy.

Chen Yankui pressed the dial button.

Jingzhou.

Sunset Red Nursing Home.

The small courtyard where Chen Yanshi lives.

The steaming dumplings were just served, and a layer of condensation still clung to the edge of the plate.

Chen Hai picked up a dumpling and was about to put it in his mouth when his phone on the table vibrated.

Chen Yanshi's phone rang.

Chen Yanshi answered the phone, "Hey, Xiao Kui, what's up?"

"Brother, we can't find Qiangzi." Chen Yankui was very anxious.

Chen Yanshi frowned deeply. "What's going on?"

Did he go to northern Myanmar? Even though this kid usually messes around, he wouldn't necessarily go abroad, would he?
