Chapter 10 Misunderstanding

Director Wang's tone and attitude of disappointment towards Zheng Ya deepened Xu Dongsheng's misunderstanding.

Could it be that Director Wang is also one of the perpetrators who persecuted Zheng Ya?

After all, if Zheng Ya hadn't lied, he would have been secretly murdered and his body dumped in the wilderness, and the biggest beneficiary would have been the street director.

Director Wang's angry and disappointed tone revealed a tactless attempt to cover up his own shortcomings and mislead outsiders.

This put Xu Dongsheng, who had once worked in the underground Communist Party, on high alert. Only after Director Wang had vented his anger did he ask, "Director Wang's care for the young people in the neighborhood makes me feel ashamed!"

It seems I should learn from you, learn your work ethic.

"Haha, Secretary Xu, you flatter me."

"I wouldn't dare take your words as a study; you probably don't know my relationship with the Zheng family..." Director Wang, fearing he might misunderstand, began to recount his connections directly.

Director Wang's wife was a comrade-in-arms of Zheng Ya's father, Zheng Daotong; they fought alongside each other against the Japanese invaders and were brothers who went through life and death together.

After the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan, Director Wang's wife was transferred to work on the National Security Mainline.

Zheng Daotong became the head of the police station, and since their homes were next to each other, they would have meals together every few days.

The two families are very close, almost inseparable.

Director Wang watched Zheng Ya grow up and knew everything about him.

Zheng Ya was originally a bit of a literary youth. She was a high school graduate who loved literature, was not good at socializing, and usually spent her time alone reading and studying.

However, since Zheng Daotong was shot and killed in an operation to capture enemy agents three months ago, Zheng Ya has been left to live with his ailing grandmother, and his personality has changed drastically.

Zheng Ya dropped out of school to stay home and care for her grandmother.

No matter who tried to persuade her, Zheng Ya ignored them, repeatedly saying that the people in the hospital were not human, making it very difficult for Director Wang to do his job.

To be honest, during his lifetime, Zheng Daotong managed to keep the people in No. 95 courtyard well-behaved and orderly, and it was once known as an advanced courtyard in the subdistrict.

Although under such circumstances, the people in the compound might be afraid of Zheng Daotong's status as the head of the police station and dare not expose their selfish and self-serving side to provoke Zheng Daotong to arrest and learn from them, it cannot be said that all the people in the compound are bad people, right?

Zheng Ya repeatedly reported that the residents of the compound were bullying him and asked the street office to deal with the residents. Director Wang visited the No. 95 compound many times, and each time he received unanimous approval from the residents, and the bullying incidents that Zheng Ya had reported did not occur.

As the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are discerning!

Director Wang could not possibly trust Zheng Ya's words alone and punish more than a hundred people in the hospital. At most, he would only warn the people in the hospital to unite and help Zheng Ya, the descendant of a martyr.

This prompted Zheng Ya to sever all ties with Director Wang and her family.

Director Wang was helpless. Whether he tried to appease Zheng Ya in person or send someone to take care of him, both attempts ended in failure.

It wasn't until a month ago that Zheng Ya's grandmother passed away, causing Zheng Ya to become taciturn, her eyes filled with hatred, and she began to resent Director Wang.

They even claimed that Grandma was poisoned by people in the courtyard?

In response to this incident, Director Wang and his wife took it very seriously and personally supervised the legal personnel in conducting an autopsy, which concluded that there was no poisoning.

However, Zheng Ya persisted in his own opinion, which greatly disappointed Director Wang and his wife.

From that time on, they would argue whenever they met, and gradually they stopped seeing each other.

Director Wang and his wife's original intention was to let Zheng Ya calm down for a while, and they instructed the three old men in the courtyard to take good care of Zheng Ya, and that if anything happened, the three of them would be held responsible.

The three elderly men were very cooperative with Director Wang and readily agreed.

Therefore, Director Wang was very angry that Zheng Ya had sneaked out to the mountains for a trip and was caught by the commune secretary and questioned about the situation.

Going to the countryside for leisure and relaxation is fine, but can't you just get a letter of introduction from the neighborhood office?

This kid isn't coming to the neighborhood office to get a letter of introduction; he's clearly a stranger to us!

Director Wang became increasingly angry as he spoke, which dispelled Xu Dongsheng's previous misunderstanding of Director Wang. Xu Dongsheng lowered his guard and asked, "Haha, as Zheng Ya's elder, you've gone to so much trouble for him!"

Tell me about his physical features.

"Alright, cooperating with your work is also part of my job. I'll briefly describe Zheng Ya's appearance and characteristics."

Zheng Ya is 1.78 meters tall, on the thin side, and weighs around 100 kilograms. He has a refined and youthful appearance, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. There is a small scar on his left wrist.

Zheng Ya's birthmark is located on his Baihui acupoint. It is a dark red birthmark shaped like a lotus flower. It was first seen when Zheng Ya was a child with his bald head exposed. As his hair grew up, it covered the birthmark and was never seen again.

"You can identify the birthmark by parting the hair and verify Zheng Ya's identity!" Director Wang explained in detail, worried that Zheng Ya would be harassed by the people in the Red Yeast Commune.

If I weren't so busy with work today, I would have liked to make a trip to the Red Qu Commune to pick up Zheng Ya and ease the tension between us.

Xu Dongsheng said with a smile, "Okay, I have learned about Comrade Zheng Ya's information and characteristics. Once our comrades verify Zheng Ya's identity, we will issue a certificate so that Comrade Zheng Ya can return and report to you. We will be careful to prevent Zheng Ya from encountering the same thing on the way and disturbing your work!"

"Haha, thanks a lot, goodbye!" Director Wang hung up the phone.

Xu Dongsheng put down the microphone and looked up at Xu Erdan, urging him to leave: "You heard everything. Go back and verify Comrade Zheng Ya's identity. Once it matches, release him."

Tell him to come to me to get his identification.

"Alright, Secretary Xu, you're busy, I'll head back now!" Xu Erdan stood up to take his leave.

There's no way to make a fuss about this situation.

Unable to get revenge on that pretty boy Zheng Ya, Xu Erdan was very unwilling and kept thinking of ways to mess with Zheng Ya as he rushed back.

Faced with the ridicule and embarrassment from the group of unmarried men, Zheng Ya smiled faintly and said, "You're right, I was just about to use the Bajiquan internal energy to force out the wild boar's fur."

Unlike soaking wild boar in hot water to remove its hair, leaving stubble of hair inside the skin, do you have a problem with that?

"Uh, that's impossible, you're just bragging!" Xu Sanwang jumped up and down, refusing to believe it no matter what.

That sounds far-fetched; only a fool would believe that.

Little did they know that Zheng Ya was trying to test the balance between planning value and merit. He had previously given snake meat to the villagers, which earned him a large amount of merit, illuminating one-tenth of the lower half of the supernatural space.

This can be considered as exchanging scarce resources for a good deed.

If someone displays a special ability that forces a wild boar to grow its fur, causing the villagers to marvel, would it be acceptable to ask them to offer merit and good fortune?

It's worth a try. Zheng Ya is willing to test the waters in order to upgrade and evolve his three superpowers.

Planning ability, including the ability to plan animals, is feasible.

However, the ability to manage insects and plants becomes ineffective.

This made Zheng Ya want to try different ways to generate benefits from planning value and merit.

Xu Sanwang, refusing to believe it, shouted: "Hmph, even extraordinary women can't do this, and you, a pretty boy, dare to brag like this?"

"That's right, the strange woman looks unconvinced. You're clearly just making a fuss and playing with people's feelings."

"Anyone who believes him is a fool. You pretty boy, if you could really use your internal energy to force out a wild boar's hair, I'd swallow the boar hair whole..."

"Come on, pretty boy, let's begin your performance?" The old village chief finished his pipe, knocked out the ash, and stood up to walk towards Zheng Ya.

Worried that the younger generation of our clan might boast and cause a scene...
