Suppressing his sadness, Chen Ke continued, "Currently, our ministry leadership has two attitudes: one is to investigate and punish severely without any leniency, launching a crackdown on organized crime and restoring public order in Hong Kong as soon as it returns to the country..."
Seeing that Master Er frowned, he continued, "Of course, that's only a small number of people. You should know that although we are currently conducting round after round of crackdowns, and rape and murder are punishable by immediate execution, as long as the red line is not crossed, there is a policy of leniency. In particular, we must also consider the history of Hong Kong. Let's talk about Cheung Tze-keung's case tomorrow. My boss and I have arranged to meet at his office tomorrow night or the night after tomorrow to discuss it in detail."
Since Master Er is coming, of course we have prepared things, but because they are too valuable, they will not be sent by plane.
Instead, they secretly had Brother Chicken smuggle the goods across the border and then deliver them to the capital.
Of course, we had to test Chen Ke first to figure out how to deliver the gift, since in Hong Kong, you can't just deliver gifts to someone's office.
But Master Er was good at judging people. He felt that Chen Ke was too honest and probably wouldn't know how to handle this kind of thing. He looked at Chen Rou and nodded silently. She didn't know either, because even in her previous life, she had never used any connections.
You should ask Yue Zhongqi about this; he knows whether or not to bring a gift when you see a high-ranking leader, or how to present it.
However, I was quite curious, so I asked Chen Ke, "Are there any leaders in the public security department who have such a strict attitude?"
Leaders can also make public statements directly. Chen Ke named someone and said, "He is very strict in this regard and attaches great importance to our work. It has been two months, and we have been under investigation."
Chen Rou knew the name Chen Ke mentioned. If she remembered it correctly, the person would be expelled from the Party and dismissed from public office for violating discipline in the future.
Rather than saying he was putting Chen Ke under investigation, it would be more accurate to say he was making things difficult for him.
The reason they were making things difficult for him was probably that they wanted Chen Ke to step down so they could install their own people in his place.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye before the investigation was completed, but no problems were found. There is only one reason for this: since joining the army, Chen Ke has not made a single mistake, has not abused his power, and has not embezzled a single penny.
He truly embodies the spirit of unyielding strength, for he is invincible because he is without desire.
Someone like him might not be able to curry favor with his superiors, but it wouldn't be so easy for them to kick him out either.
The fact that the big boss was willing to meet with Master Er in his office at night was actually a signal that he was open and willing to accept her. As for gifts, although she still needed to ask Yue Zhongqi, Chen Rou felt that the various antiques or rare collectibles that Master Er had prepared were probably unnecessary.
Whether or not to proceed is a major policy issue, and there is also a power struggle at the top. Such a struggle cannot be resolved by small interests such as a few antiques. Of course, it would be best to ask Yue Zhongqi first.
Chen Rou only learned a little bit of his wisdom in dealing with people and situations.
Grandpa got a bit chilly today. He's getting old and his immune system is weak, so he couldn't hold on much longer and went to sleep.
The female traditional Chinese medicine doctor also came along, and she and the nanny slept in the same room as Chen Rou.
While she was in the bedroom, looking at A Yuan who was fast asleep, she was worried that the little guy might get cold and catch a cold or fever. Of course, any problems would require immediate treatment. Chen Rou got up and went into the room to arrange for her to go and check on Er Ye.
Chen Ke had only just noticed this himself. Seeing Chen Rou come out of the bedroom, he smiled and said, "Come here, Rou, I'll show you something."
It was that Xuefeng sword, but it was in a special scabbard. To prevent A Yuan from opening the scabbard, the scabbard was still locked. Chen Ke took out the sword, pointed at the large oil painting in the reception room, held the sword up, and asked, "Can you see it?"
These historical scene oil paintings are all in a realistic style.
At first glance, it doesn't look like it, but if you look closely, you'll find that the painting contains all the details of Xuefeng Dao.
Chen Ke had seen this knife many times, but he wasn't very good at talking about it. He smiled and said, "My old commander once held this knife. He even called me specifically to invite you and A Yuan to come over for dinner."
He added, "I haven't seen him in a long time either. Let's go together then. I want to tell him how you used this knife at Lvsun."
After thinking about it, Chen Rou understood: "You were interrogated for two months before being released, yet you didn't pull any strings?"
This is the capital city. If you throw a brick from any tall building, you'll kill a big shot.
This is also a place where gods fight.
Chen Ke's current job is simply a high-paying position with heavy responsibilities, nothing more.
But it's different for others; in his position, as long as he dares to speak up, he can make a lot of money.
He was almost dismissed, but even though he was in the capital and had powerful connections, he didn't seek them out and just endured it.
Yes, he is indeed tough enough. In two months, no matter how many accounts were reviewed, no one could find fault with him.
But what if he picks it out? He'll be going home in a daze.
Chen Rou didn't know whether to admire him, pity him, or be angry with him. Moreover, he knew he could do it but didn't. He said, "Arou, I can't go to the old leader because if a problem is found out and the old leader protects me, he will owe someone a favor, which he will have to repay sooner or later. But if I have no problem, no matter if I go to the leaders or not, my file is solid, and no one can touch me."
Seeing Chen Rou sigh, he added, "Even if someone crosses the line and fires me against the rules, I can just go home anyway..."
But Chen Rou suddenly interrupted him and asked, "Your daughter died in the early morning of June 19, 1988, right?"
Chen Ke was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Did your sister-in-law tell you that?"
