Waiting for someone or a phone call is the most agonizing thing, especially when you don't know when it will end.
Li Chu simply turned on the TV and VCR, grabbed a random tape, and the couple snuggled up on the sofa to watch the video.
This action completely baffled the dogs, who had no idea what had gotten into their owners, sitting in the living room watching TV in the middle of the night instead of sleeping.
It was already past 3 a.m. when Wang Jun called back.
The moment I answered the phone, they started shouting.
"Li Chu, where did you get this information? That Chen Er is completely insane. We did a rough estimate, and the amount involved is over a million."
"Can you confirm that it's his goods?"
"Yes, the reason it's been delayed until now is because we interrogated the warehouse manager on the spot. He was very cooperative and answered all our questions. So we gave Deputy Chen a ride on the way back."
This guy was even more arrogant, immediately shouting that the stuff belonged to Chen Er and demanding we release him. Fine, I've already reported this to our chief; he'll be here soon. Let's just pass this hot potato to him and see what we do next.”
"Thanks, Junzi."
"Get out of here, and just stay away from my Er Ya from now on."
Wang Jun discovered a very frustrating fact: although he had been taking care of his youngest daughter for the past few months, she still didn't seem close to him. She would cry whenever he held her, but whenever Li Chu went over and held her, she would be very well-behaved. Now, whenever he was home, he strictly forbade Li Chu from coming within five meters of his daughter.
His eldest daughter is already ruined. If his youngest daughter is in the same state, he doesn't know what to do. He can't possibly train another daughter, can he? Putting aside whether he can train her, the most important thing is whether his wife's body can withstand it.
"Alright, enough of this nonsense. I have a lot on my plate. Should I ask my sister-in-law to quickly arrange for someone to go to that warehouse? There's no one there right now."
"Okay, I got it. Let's grab a couple of drinks after this is all sorted out."
"I'm not drinking with you, bye."
Ding Qiunan, who was standing to the side, was laughing so hard that she couldn't stop. The phone was like a loudspeaker now; she could hear what was being said on the other end without even holding the receiver. She had heard everything Wang Jun had said clearly.
No wonder people are angry. Li Chu seems to have a magical power; children are very obedient in his hands. As a result, Wang Jun now treats him like a thief whenever he's home and refuses to let him hold the children.
"Call the duty room and have someone go to the second warehouse to check and see if there's anything we missed."
Work is important; isn't this what I've been waiting for all night? Ding Qiunan quickly composed herself, picked up the phone, and called the hospital's logistics duty room.
After that, I called the dean and the political commissar. Both of them hadn't slept and only breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the call.
The two of them didn't dare to delay and reported to headquarters again.
While Vice President Wang and Section Chief Han were sound asleep at home, the matter had already been initially resolved.
When they arrived at the hospital early the next morning, they learned from the staff on duty that Minister Ding had arranged for someone to go to Ward 2 late the night before.
Before they could even process what was happening, the headquarters' inspection office came knocking, taking them to assist with the investigation, and also taking several other people with them.
Because the two important leaders were not present, there was a sense of unease and tension in the hospital.
After having breakfast at home, Li Chu took his wife directly to headquarters, letting her find her supervisor herself, while he strolled over to his office.
What happens next is someone else's business. As long as his wife is alright, he doesn't care about anyone else's life or death.
He unintentionally stirred up a calm pool of water, and the ripples he caused grew larger and larger, involving more and more people in less than 24 hours.

It seems like there always has to be some kind of action before a meeting.
However, in less than a year from last year to this year, he became the knife-handler twice in a row, and was severely reprimanded by Uncle Wu that afternoon.
Uncle Wang and the other elderly comrades looked at him strangely.
Only Elder Shen was quite pleased and called him over as well, but the treatment was clearly different.
He was forced to stand for half an hour as punishment when he visited Uncle Wu, and Elder Shen even treated him to a drink.
"Never mind Lao Wu, he's getting more cautious as he gets older. Are we just going to leave those people around for the New Year?"
When Elder Shen heard about Li Chu's ordeal over there, he felt indignant on Li Chu's behalf.
"Uncle, I really thought Chen Er was acting on his own. I had heard people say that he was daring and would make money from anything, but I never expected that he was not just daring, but completely outrageous."
Li Chu understood that Uncle Wu called him over to criticize him not because he had done something wrong, but because he hadn't planned things carefully before acting and had been somewhat reckless.
"You have to have this kind of courage to forge ahead when you're doing your job. How can you do anything well if you're timid and hesitant?" The old man sighed. He realized that he had discovered this promising talent too late. If he could turn back time ten years, he would definitely do his best to nurture him.
However, he still had some doubts. How could Li Quanyou, such a cunning guy, have such a straightforward son? Perhaps it was because he was too busy with work at the time and didn't personally teach him.
"Grandpa, Dad"
Li Wenhui, who had been resting upstairs, ran downstairs as soon as she heard that her father had arrived.
After spending more than ten days confined to her home, she felt like she was going crazy.
"Huihui has been cooped up at home for quite a while now," Old Master Shen said with a smile as he watched his granddaughter-in-law run over.
"Dad, you and Mom haven't come to see me these past few days."
"What are we doing here? Don't we trust your grandfather, or don't we trust your mother-in-law to take good care of you? Where's Maodan?"
"She's sleeping, and my mother-in-law is watching her."
Old Master Shen hadn't decided on a formal name for the child yet, so he just gave him a nickname, thinking that a humble name would make the child easier to raise.
Wenhui came down, chatted with her for a few minutes, and then went back up.
"Xiao Chu, you've really taken good care of the child's health. It's saved us a lot of trouble."
"Uncle Shen, this is how I make a living. If I can't even take care of my own family's health, how can outsiders trust me?"
"Hehe, do a good job, don't have any worries. Come on, let's have a drink together."
"You can't drink any more after you finish this cup, it's too much."
"I just praised you a few times and this is what I get? Fine, don't come here again."
