When the organization took the initiative to contact Shen Jichuan, he was busy in another city.
He didn't know how long Wen Qiao would stay abroad, or how long this task would take. He was just trying to numb himself by working non-stop.
He didn't even know how to face his three children.
Zhao Qingzhou invited him over, and the person he spoke to was a vice minister surnamed Yang.
Shen Jichuan had only heard of Minister Yang and seen him on television before. Today, he met him in person, and he was more serious and dignified than he appeared on TV.
"Comrade Jichuan, after much thought, I decided to come and do some ideological work with you personally. I received news from Comrade Wen Qiao, which was passed on by an informant. She is currently being watched by Wen Zhengnian and is unable to contact you..."
"She conveyed two messages. One was that she was pregnant, and she said she would understand what she meant once she found out. The second was that she, as the granddaughter of the Wen family, was to be married off to the grandson of the He family."
Shen Jichuan clenched his fist, then opened it again.
Then he said calmly, "No matter what the reason for the divorce, Comrade Wen Qiao and I are indeed divorced now. After the divorce, she can choose to marry anyone. The organization can rest assured that I will not harass her."
"As for the rest, since they're not in the country, I won't interfere. Whether the child stays or is aborted, I respect her choice."
Minister Yang looked at Shen Jichuan and advised, "Comrade Jichuan, after this matter is completed, the organization will compensate you and Comrade Wen Qiao."
"No need, I will follow the organization's arrangements."
"I have work to do, so I won't talk to you any longer."
Shen Jichuan stood up; this was the first time he had ever shown disrespect to a high-ranking leader.
After Shen Jichuan left, Zhao Qingzhou came into the house.
"Minister Yang, how is it?"
"Comrade Ji Chuan is harboring resentment, but that's normal. Keep an eye on the situation there. If Comrade Wen Qiao can't persuade Wen Zhengnian to return to China, then proceed with the second plan. Have our people around Comrade Wen Qiao. Don't we have people at the bank? They can go online now."
Zhao Qingzhou said, "Isn't it too early? Comrade Wen Qiao hasn't fully gained Wen Zhengnian's trust yet."
Minister Yang said, "First, remind that person that Comrade Wen Qiao is one of our people. By the way, send someone to find the person Comrade Wen Qiao mentioned immediately. Once found, settle him in a safe place. Comrade Wen Qiao said he is a very important person and might be able to play a significant role."
"Yes, I will arrange to contact the people in the investigation department immediately."
***
After leaving Minister Yang's office, Shen Jichuan returned to his car and smoked three cigarettes in a row. If it weren't for Wen Qiao's constant reminders, he probably would have continued smoking.
How could he not know that the message Wen Qiao was giving him was telling him that she was safe, and not only that, she was also pregnant with their child?
Actually, the whole thing about Wen Qiao's pregnancy was Shen Jichuan's fault.
In the days following Wen Qiao's divorce, he was filled with panic and unease, so he simply coaxed Wen Qiao without taking any contraceptive measures.
In just a few days and a few times, Wen Qiao actually got pregnant.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or worried about Wen Qiao...
How did she manage to hide this child? What will happen to the man she married into the family if he finds out? Will that old bastard Wen Zhengnian protect Wen Qiao?
