Wu Jinshui reached for the gun with his other hand, but Cheng Rushan grabbed it with his backhand, "You——".
Cheng Rushan didn't even give him a chance to speak. He pinched Wu Jinshui so hard that it hurt so much that he couldn't speak. With his other hand, he simply pulled off the handcuffs on Wu Jinshui's lower back and handcuffed him with a click.
"Asshole, what kind of asshole are you? How dare you handcuff the captain of the police station's criminal police team!" Wu Jinshui wanted to jump up and turned to look at Sun Kaixuan, letting Sun Kaixuan speak.
Cheng Rushan threw him against the wall like a broken sack, not treating him as a human being at all, let alone a captain.
Sun Kaixuan and several police officers were stunned. The boy was very skilled! Although Wu Jinshui might have neglected his professional training, he was not someone that could be subdued by an ordinary person in just one or two moves. Cheng Rushan wasted a round and took Wu Jinshui down without giving him a chance to resist.
Zhang Wen and Zheng Jun, who came with Wu Jinshui, wanted to go up to help, but were stopped by Su Xingyun, Sun Qinghui and several other students. Zeng Hongjie even took a photo of them as a record.
Zhang Wen and Zheng Jun did not dare to conflict with the students. After all, the student group was too large. They could beat these few people, but they could not beat the school behind them.
"Captain Sun, this is not good." Zhang Wen was anxious and shouted at Sun Kaixuan, expressing his dissatisfaction with the fact that he just sat there and did not interfere.
Sun Kaixuan was confused, he didn't expect Cheng Rushan to be so bold that he actually handcuffed Wu Jinshui. He wanted to smooth things over but couldn't even say a word.
He is in criminal investigation business, not administrative politics, and he is not very good at talking, so he really didn't know what to say for a moment.
This situation is so embarrassing that there is no way to make it work, so we can only handle it in a businesslike manner.
Cheng Rushan looked at Fang Chengguang. Fang Chengguang casually took out the Type 54 police pistol and dagger that Huang Xiangyu brought with him, put them on the table and pushed them to Sun Kaixuan, "Captain Sun, I'm afraid some police stations don't have these guns."
The police officers in small police stations all have box-type guns, so it is naturally impossible to popularize this, let alone the police officers in the countryside.
Wu Jinshui was cursing, "Fuck you, let me go! Sun Kaixuan, what do you mean? Are you trying to start an internal conflict? You have no right to detain me! Let's talk to Director Chang!"
Sun Kaixuan whispered to Fang Chengguang and Cheng Rushan, "You two, our office is indeed not qualified to detain Captain Wu."
Cheng Rushan's face was icy. "Huang Xiangyu rushed into the university campus with a gun and committed a crime. Wu Jinshui abused his power for personal gain and forced us to release him. If we didn't, he would draw his gun. Captain Sun, do we have to wait until he kills someone before we have the right to do so?"
Sun Kaixuan was choked and speechless. Young man, you are very eloquent and don't spare face. You know I have a good temper and I am not afraid of offending me, right? But he really fell for it. Cheng Rushan and Fang Chengguang came from the military and were so tough in front of him that they forced him to give up the idea of not breaking up with Wu Jinshui.
Must be handled impartially!
Wu Jinshui: "You are maliciously framing the people's police! I want to appeal!" As the captain of the criminal investigation team, how could he have suffered such injustice? Since he became a police officer, he climbed up step by step and finally climbed to the position of captain. Those who offended him were all tortured by him, and those who looked down on him were all trampled under his feet.
No one has dared to do this to him in years!
This bastard!
When he gets back, he will kill them. Even if Fang Chengguang has a background, he can't escape his revenge!
He knew Fang Chengguang, but pretended not to know him, "Captain Sun, give me an explanation!"
"How did I take human life lightly? Did Huang Xiangyu take someone's life or kill someone on campus? Explain the matter clearly and don't plot in secret!"
Zeng Hongjie said to the two school reporters: "Write down this conversation word for word. Take a photo and keep it." She took a photo of Wu Jinshui, which made Wu Jinshui burst into tears.
Fang Chengguang said coldly: "You might as well think about a girl named Chen Yue."
Wu Jinshui immediately scolded, "So you were bribed by her parents. They were greedy and used their daughter to cheat money, saying it was a marriage, but when they couldn't get the money they ran back to her parents' home. Huang Xiangyu asked them to pay back the money and they started to cheat and try to commit suicide. In the end they really committed suicide. Who can you blame?"
He has closed the case perfectly. It was all Chen Yue's parents' fault for being greedy for money. In order to arrange a job for their son to stay in the city, they asked for a dowry for their son to marry a wife. They even wrote a promissory note.
At that time, Huang Xiangyu said that he just wrote some casual things and he would give them money every month in the future. Chen Yue's greedy parents were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
After all, they had spent the money, so there was nothing wrong with closing the case this way!
He knew that the biggest leverage Fang Chengguang had over Huang Xiangyu was Chen Yue and Xie Xiaoman, and even if they were guilty of other crimes, they were not that serious. He regretted that he had not completely destroyed everything related to the case at that time. He should have found an opportunity to drive Chen Yue's parents to some corner of the border area.
But he couldn't go out now, and he was really anxious, so he winked at Zhang Wen and Zheng Jun, wanting them to go to the two families in advance to make arrangements.
But in fact, Zhang Wen and Zheng Jun didn't know much about it. They just heard him say that his brother-in-law was entangled with a bitch, whose parents were extremely greedy. The brother-in-law was crying and making a fuss, so he had to step in to settle it.
He had found a way to send the old policeman who had handled Chen Yue's case to a village below to serve as a special public security commissioner.
Fang Chengguang said to Sun Kaixuan: "Captain Sun, if you can't make up your mind, you might as well call Director Chang to report."
Sun Kaixuan really couldn't handle this matter. He saw it all. Huang Xiangyu and nine others were beaten very badly, but these students were not injured. Even if they were injured, it was just because they were too involved in the beating and scraped the skin on the back of their hands.
But Fang Chengguang refused and insisted on punishing Huang Xiangyu. This is a delicate situation.
Even if Huang Xiangyu had a case before, it was closed in another police station, so today's case is out of the question. In his jurisdiction, he can only talk about what happened tonight - Huang Xiangyu brought a gun to the provincial police station to cause trouble. But in this case, it seems that Huang Xiangyu suffered more? He is ruined, and I am afraid he will not have the chance to be a man in the future. So Sun Kaixuan really can't judge the case of causing trouble. If he wants to dig up old accounts, it is not something he can do. He needs to apply to the director of the station and the director of the bureau.
Sun Kaixuan decisively made the phone call.
Cheng Rushan said to Fang Chengguang, "You stay here, I'm going out to do something." He asked the two policemen to go out, walked to a deserted place, and directly told them Fang Chengguang's identity. At the same time, he emphasized that Huang Xiangyu was holding a gun on campus with the intention of killing people, and the teachers and students of the provincial university would not let him go. He also had a case before and was protected by Wu Jinshui. Now he was dug up by the provincial university students and reported to the military. The military has accepted the case and sent Fang Chengguang to conduct a secret investigation.
"I'm sure you two have witnessed the students' fighting ability."
The brutality of the armed struggle back then, the passion and impulsiveness of the students, and their momentum of not giving up until everything was destroyed, no one was not afraid.
Zhang Wen and Zheng Jun exchanged looks. Indeed, that was the case. They both nodded.
Cheng Rushan briefly mentioned the key points of Chen Yue's case. "You should have heard about Chen Yue's case. Wu Jinshui abused his power for personal gain and disregarded human lives. He wantonly trampled on the glorious mission of the public security. Do you think the military will let him go?"
The two of them naturally knew something about Wu Jinshui and Huang Xiangyu's affairs. They also knew that the police station chief was busy with other things and the cases were handled by the team leader. Therefore, Wu Jinshui had absolute power in the jurisdiction and no one dared to offend him. His power was even greater than that of the chief.
He once brazenly said, "Captain Wu is permanent, but the police station chiefs come and go," implying that all police station personnel should obey his command, otherwise they would suffer the consequences.
Anyone who wants to enter the Public Security Bureau has to go through the back door, anyone who wants to transfer jobs has to get his approval, and anyone who has a case has to hand it over to him to be skinned alive.
The common people quietly spread the word that Captain Wu was even more powerful than those old policemen in the old society who played both sides. He played both the plaintiff and the defendant, and would not stop until one of them went bankrupt.
The two actually couldn't stand it, but for the sake of their future, they had to curry favor with him. Now that someone more powerful than Wu Jinshui has intervened, it would be a good time to overturn the verdict and arrest Wu Jinshui.
So, Wu Jinshui was finished.
"We are willing to cooperate with the investigation!" The two made a bet.
Cheng Rushan has asked He Liang and Bie Dongshan to investigate, and he will take two police officers to the police station to retrieve the files, and the authenticity will be known. Many cases have been tampered with to become trivial matters, and some even blackmailed Huang Xiangyu.
After getting these, Cheng Rushan came back to find Sun Kaixuan and asked him to send people to re-check these cases, and do it quickly. Now that Wu Jinshui was detained and the Huang family had no thugs, no one would go to the victims' homes to threaten them. It was a good time to find out the truth and keep records.
Sun Kaixuan thought for two seconds and then agreed. He and Fang Chengguang had already re-examined Huang Xiangyu's gang of lackeys.
They are all lazy people who want to get something for nothing. They are good at bullying others, but it is very difficult to ask them to keep a secret.
It didn't take much effort for them to confess one after another.
After listening to their confession, Sun Kaixuan was so angry that he repeatedly said that Huang Xiangyu was a bastard and it was not unfair to shoot him. This was like pulling out a carrot and bringing out mud. If Huang Xiangyu had not been in the hands of Cheng Rushan and Fang Chengguang, I am afraid no one would have been able to punish him, and his past crimes would naturally not have been exposed to the world.
He knew Huang Xiangyu was a scoundrel who had committed many crimes, and Wu Jinshui had always protected him. But he didn't know that Huang Xiangyu had such a bad record. After all, everything Huang Xiangyu had done before was in Wu Jinshui's jurisdiction, and he was suppressed by Wu Jinshui at the first time, and he couldn't go to other police stations at all.
As soon as he got the confession, he called Director Chang to report Huang Xiangyu's crimes and his brother-in-law Wu Jinshui's favoritism and abuse of power to protect him.
After the director learned about this, he ordered Captain Sun to thoroughly investigate the case and talk to the director of the other police station and the director of the bureau!
Sun Kaixuan immediately asked the police officers on duty to call other police officers, and they worked in pairs to interview the victim overnight and get the latest confession. The entire police station was mobilized overnight, and its efficiency was quite gratifying.
Fang Chengguang was in charge of the police station, while Cheng Rushan brought Zeng Hongjie, Su Xingyun, school reporters and others to cooperate with the police in investigating the case and preserving evidence to ensure safety.
At dawn, He Liang and Bie Dongshan went back to work, Cheng Rushan sent the students back, and then returned to the police station with the most powerful evidence. Although he had not slept all night, he was still energetic and not tired at all.
Fang Chengguang had taken a nap on a bench covered with a blanket from the police station. He got up immediately after hearing the voice, "Brother Cheng, did you get the evidence?"
Cheng Rushan threw a stack of files on the table and said, "It's more than enough to shoot Huang Xiangyu."
At this time, hooliganism is punishable by death by shooting, and rape is naturally more punishable by death.
Fang Chengguang's face was solemn: "Being able to eliminate harm for the people is worthy of my surname Fang."
At least I can use the old man's reputation to scare people here.
02
They discussed it again and then made preparations separately. They wanted to exchange information with the police officers who had returned and discuss the follow-up matters with Sun Kaixuan.
Huang Xiangyu's case is not complicated at all. Su Xingyun and others found it difficult to handle before because someone above them was protecting him. Now Fang Chengguang has torn off Huang Xiangyu's protective film, and he is a typical example of the law's inexorable nature.
So, it started with Huang Xiangyu rushing into the campus with a gun intending to create chaos, which led to other evil deeds. When an old case was opened, it turned out that he was the victim, and then Wu Jinshui was involved. It was perfect.
All I have to do is wait until after work and report to the director of the Public Security Bureau, and have him approve the formal arrest warrant for Wu Jinshui.
At this time, Director Chang of the police station answered the phone and came over in person, "Chengguang, Commander Fang wants to go to your house for breakfast."
Fang Chengguang was startled, and then his heart sank. The old man invited him to dinner at this time? It wasn't a festival or birthday, and it wasn't a special day. He invited him to dinner?
He had been suspecting that Wu Jinshui was shielding Huang Xiangyu and wondering if there was someone backing Wu Jinshui up. He thought that although the old man wasn't very good at family matters, he was very capable at work and had not done anything to abuse his power for personal gain or to violate the law.
Now, his heart sank, and anger suddenly swirled in his chest and could not be shaken off.
"Is it my dad calling?"
Director Chang hesitated for a moment and said, "It was Commander Fang who asked you to go back for dinner."
The call was from Master Fang's wife. Without any greetings, she came straight to the point and said that Master Fang wanted to go to his son's house for dinner. Her tone didn't sound good.
Director Chang was careful not to cause trouble for others and just repeated the original words.
Fang Chengguang's eyes turned cold, "Okay, I'll go back now." He decided to go home and have a good "meal".
Director Chang breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried that Fang Chengguang would act like a spoiled brat and refuse to go home.
Fang Chengguang said to Cheng Rushan: "Do you want to come to my house for breakfast?"
Cheng Rushan glanced at him and asked, "Are you scared?"
Fang Chengguang: "Am I someone who is afraid? My nanny cooks delicious food."
Cheng Rushan: "Is it as good as my mother's?"
Fang Chengguang: "It's really not as delicious as what my mother cooks."
Cheng Rushan: “Let’s go.” He couldn’t let Fang Chengguang face the trouble alone even though he had already called his mother. Moreover, this matter involved Jiang Lin, and he didn’t want to let Huang Xiangyu go.
Fang Chengguang emphasized to him: "I'm not afraid to go home, I really want to treat you to a meal."
Cheng Rushan: “I know.”
On the way back, Cheng Rushan drove and let Fang Chengguang sit in the passenger seat, giving him time to sort out his thoughts and calm down, and think about how to deal with the situation at home when he returns.
Although Fang Chengguang seemed fine, he was furious. When Huang Xiangyu got into trouble, the old man asked him to go to his house for dinner. It was self-evident who was the mastermind behind this.
Did the old man protect them?
This doubt made him feel heavy-hearted, and his thoughts suddenly fell into the abyss of the past. He had not recalled the past for a long time, but at this moment, he was pushed into it without any hesitation as if he was pushed by a huge force.
At that time, his mother was a doctor in the military hospital. His father was too busy with work, so all the things at home fell on her alone. In order to avoid mistakes during the movement, the family resolutely did not use a nanny, and his mother did everything herself. She had to take care of the elderly and children while working, and she fell ill without knowing it. When she felt that she was sick and had to check, it was too late. She was in great pain in her last days. She longed for Fang Jianhua to accompany her for the last period of time, but he was always busy with work and didn't even spend a whole day with her. Even on her last birthday, he had to go to work. But she still smiled and understood that he worked hard, the situation was difficult, and he had to consider the overall situation, and asked him and his sister not to blame their father.
How could he not blame!
After his mother passed away, he hated Fang Jianhua very much. It was because of his lack of concern for the family that his mother became seriously ill and could not be cured.
If it weren't for his sister mediating and acting as a lubricant between him and his father, he would have rebelled and run away long ago.
Just when he was about to forgive his father, he got married for the second time, and the wife was a doctor in the military hospital.
Fang Chengguang felt as disgusted as if he had eaten shit. You are not young anymore. If you want to remarry and have someone to accompany you, you can marry a country woman, a widowed woman, or... why do you have to marry a young female doctor from a military hospital!
A woman who doesn't look very beautiful, but is gentle and considerate, and good at winning men's hearts.
Under the pretext of caring about Fang Jianhua's health, she acted like a spoiled child to him every day, coaxing him to come back for dinner instead of working. Fang Jianhua, who was always a workaholic, actually agreed, and really came home for dinner often, and finally they had breakfast together at home every day.
Half a year later, the female doctor gave birth to a son, and the old man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Fang Chengguang couldn't stand it anymore, and his relationship with them became increasingly cold, and he moved out directly.
Because of this, he even had a falling out with his sister, with whom he had always had a good relationship, and didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.
Of course, he would not tell Cheng Rushan everything, but only the information that would appear in the archives. Cheng Rushan himself was not a person who liked to pry into other people's secrets, so if he didn't tell, he naturally wouldn't ask.
When he arrived at the compound, he said to Fang Chengguang, "I'm going back to change my clothes."
Fang Chengguang teased him: "It's not a blind date."
Seeing how depressed he was and how forced his smile was, Cheng Rushan said, "I want to go back and see my wife."
Fang Chengguang: "Understood. Then I'll go take a shower and change clothes."
They drove the jeep to the gate of the courtyard. Wensheng and Dabao and Xiaobao were planting flowers and plants at the foot of the south wall. After cutting a few roses, they would have big roses. They also planted two big sweet potato flowers. In summer, there would be a sea of flowers, so beautiful that people would forget all their worries. Wensheng sang opera while working, practicing his singing skills.
When the three saw them, they immediately ran home. Wensheng said, "Mom, my dad is back."
Fang Chengguang went straight back to his room to get his clothes and went to take a shower. After changing into clean clothes, he went to the back to say hello to Jiang Lin and others.
Jiang Lin: "Have you eaten?"
Fang Chengguang: “I didn’t eat.”
Yan Runzhi: "I've left some for you, come and eat." She took the breakfast out of the pot. The custom of this season is to roll pancakes. The big, thin pancakes, whether they are baked on a griddle or steamed in a pot, are delicious when rolled with eggs or vegetables. There is also multi-grain porridge, which is sweet with brown sugar.
Fang Chengguang looked at the fresh bean sprouts, shredded potatoes, water spinach, and the egg and minced meat sauce made by Yan Runzhi herself. He sat down to eat breakfast without any psychological struggle.
Cheng Rushan: “…” It’s already half past eight.
Jiang Lin gave the roll to Cheng Rushan, and Yan Runzhi gave the roll to Fang Chengguang.
Cheng Rushan saw Yan Runzhi was about to put some green onions in it, so he reminded her, "Mom, Chengguang will be home soon, don't eat the green onions."
Fang Chengguang: "Why not? How about eating it with onions and garlic? Is it tasty enough?"
Cheng Rushan: “…”
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "It's okay. Just chew some peanuts or tea leaves after eating, and then brush your teeth."
Fang Chengguang was really hungry, so he ate heartily and felt his depressed mood improved.
Dabao and Xiaobao washed the shepherd's purse and bitter herbs they dug from the vegetable garden and brought them over. "Eat them with sauce. They're very fresh. Grandma likes them the most."
Fang Chengguang: "I don't like bitter vegetables, they are too bitter."
Vincent: "I don't like it either. It's really bitter."
Xiaobao: "Grandma, why are you eating?"
Yan Runzhi smiled and said, "Because bitter things can reduce internal heat. If you have internal heat that can't be relieved, you can eat a handful of bitter herbs and it will work immediately." She saw that although Fang Chengguang was smiling, his eyes were full of anger and gloom. She understood this feeling. If you hold it in for too long, you will get sick.
Jiang Lin pinched off the roots and gave them some bitter vegetable dipping sauce, but neither of them took the initiative to eat it.
Cheng Rushan looked at her with a wronged look in his eyes, "Wife, do I have to eat too?" My anger is different from his. I only need my wife.
Jiang Lin smiled and fed him a few of them. "These were dug by Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao. Don't waste them."
In the end, the two of them had a belly full of bitter vegetables. Wensheng and Dabao and Xiaobao gave blind advice, asking them to rinse their mouths, brush their teeth and eat candy, but they still couldn't suppress the bitterness in their mouths. At this moment, Fang Chengguang, let alone being angry and holding back his anger, could almost become a Buddha.
Jiang Lin saw Cheng Rushan enter the bedroom, and she followed him in, "You haven't slept all night, go get some sleep."
Cheng Rushan put his hands on her waist, pressed her against the wall, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Jiang Lin's eyes widened: Bitter!!!
Cheng Rushan smiled and pecked her lips again, "You fed it yourself."
So this is your own fault, do you want to have to bear the consequences yourself?
He kissed her again, and finally let her go, "I'll go home with Chengguang for breakfast, and you guys can have lunch. We don't know when we'll be back."
Jiang Lin: "You guys are going to Fang Chengguang's house? Because of Huang Xiangyu?" She didn't believe it! Fang Chengguang, who was going home for breakfast, had a meal of pancakes and vegetables at her house?
Cheng Rushan nodded, "They are related."
Jiang Lin didn't ask any more questions, "Then go quickly, Chengguang is waiting for you."
Cheng Rushan went out, said something to Yan Runzhi in the yard, and then went to the outer courtyard.
Fang Chengguang glanced at him and asked, "Not bitter anymore?"
Cheng Rushan: "Is it bitter? I've eaten wild vegetables for two months, some bitter, some sweet, some sour, some spicy, some poisonous, some non-poisonous. It's no big deal."
Fang Chengguang: “…”
This breakfast was worth it for Fang Chengguang. He was no longer angry, and even the depression in his heart seemed to be diluted by the bitter vegetables and their warm words.
He calmed down completely and was no longer affected by anger. He was also able to go home rationally and have a good fight with Huang Shurou.
He really envied Cheng Rushan, who had kind and gentle parents who had gone through hardships without changing, and passed on to him a will of steel; he had a wife who was both literary and martial, and a sweet-talking woman, who allowed him to retain the warmth in the deepest part of his heart even when he was cruel; he had happy sons, too, which allowed him to live a longer life.
Life can be perfect like this, and all the hardships you have experienced in the past should be regarded as gaining this perfect experience.
If he could have such perfection, he would be willing to endure suffering ten or a hundred times more, even an abyss that would drown him.
As long as I can keep my mother's warmth.
03
There is a special building in the military compound, all of which are single-family small brick buildings, three floors, combining Chinese and Western styles, which are said to have been handed down from the Republic of China period. The commander, deputy commander, director of the political department, etc. live here separately, with separate guards and patrol soldiers.
The Fang family lives in the three-story red brick building at the west end, which looks the simplest.
Now, only Fang Jianhua, Huang Shurou and the youngest son Fang Chengyu are at home. The eldest daughter Fang Chengxia moved to the hospital dormitory after falling out with her brother and rarely comes home now.
In the past, Huang Shurou would ask Fang Chengguang to come back for dinner on holidays or every now and then, but he basically ignored her. Even if she asked Fang Jianhua to come, Fang Chengguang would not give her face unless there was a reason to come back. For example, Fang Chengguang would definitely not come for blind dates or dinners.
This morning before dawn, she received an urgent call from her parents' home, saying that her younger brother and second brother-in-law were detained by the police station. She was immediately anxious and asked carefully. This time, it was really not her younger brother who did something wrong. He just went to the provincial university to attend a social gathering and ended up having some conflicts with his classmates, but it was not enough to warrant being detained by the police station.
She felt so distressed when she thought that her brother might have been beaten. Her brother had never been beaten or suffered any hardship since he was a child. He would feel very painful if he was hit. Now he was locked up in the police station, and she didn't know what would happen to him.
In Huang Shurou's heart, her brother is still the spoiled, pain-afraid and crying little boy when he was a child.
She called the police station directly again, but Captain Sun was not there with his team, so she had to wait until dawn to call again. However, Sun Kaixuan said that Fang Chengguang had reported the case personally, so he had to be cautious and could not release him easily.
Unexpectedly, Fang Chengguang intervened. She immediately believed that he was deliberately targeting her and her brother. She tactfully asked Fang Jianhua to ask Fang Chengguang to come back for dinner. The orderly went to call him, but he came back and said that he was not in the compound and had gone out. Huang Shurou then called Director Chang.
She looked at the watch. It was already nine o'clock. Fang Chengguang hadn't come yet?
She smiled and said, "Xiao Lian, go and see why Cheng Guang hasn't come back yet?"
Nanny Xiaolian asked the orderly to go and check, and the orderly came back to say that Fang Chengguang had returned and went to the dormitory first.
Huang Shurou smiled at Fang Jianhua, who was sitting on a wooden sofa reading a newspaper, and said, "Chengguang hasn't been back for a long time, so it's reasonable for him to wait a little longer."
Fang Jianhua frowned, "Forget it, let's eat first." They had been waiting for an hour and a half.
Huang Shurou hurriedly stopped him, "Don't worry, sit for a while, maybe he will be here soon."
After a while, the orderly said Fang Chengguang and someone else were coming over.
Huang Shurou looked puzzled: "With whom? He Liang?"
Orderly: "It seems to be Captain Cheng of the transport team."
Huang Shurou: "What is he doing here?" Could he be the one who helped Fang Chengguang harm Xiangyu? She thought it was no big deal, and she could just call Fang Chengguang back and let Fang Jianhua tell him.
As they were talking, Fang Chengguang and a young man came over.
Fang Chengguang was wearing a military uniform, but the young man was wearing a slightly different kind of clothing. It was made of the same fabric as the military uniform, but there were pockets on both sides of the trouser legs, the pockets on the top were slanted, and there was a pocket on the outside of the left arm. Although the style was not common, it looked surprisingly good on him.
How come she didn't remember there was such a handsome and tall young man in the Transportation Department?
She usually goes to work and comes here when she gets home. She socializes with upper-class wives and doesn't interact much with people in the compound. So even if Cheng Rushan is famous in the family quarters, he is only famous among young people and will not spread here.
Huang Shurou walked to the door with a smile, "Chengguang is back. Your father has been waiting for you for a long time." She smiled at Cheng Rushan again, "Who is this?"
Fang Chengguang looked cold and his voice was neither hot nor cold. "This is Cheng Rushan, the second captain of the transport team."
Huang Shurou's smile became more friendly and gentle, but her tone was a little insistent, "Chengguang, your father wants to have a quiet meal with you today, you see..."
The implication is that it is a bit abrupt and not good to bring outsiders here without saying hello.
If she wanted to talk about her mother's family affairs, she naturally didn't want outsiders to hear it, not even He Liang, let alone Cheng Rushan, whom she didn't know.
Fang Chengguang ignored her and said to Cheng Rushan, "This is Master Fang's second wife, Aunt Huang."
Huang Shurou frowned slightly, but still smiled and said, "Captain Cheng, is there something you came here for today?"
She thought that maybe Cheng Rushan was here to use his connections, "Our Commander Fang is not at home for reception..."
"I invited Brother Cheng to dinner." Fang Chengguang interrupted her again, already becoming impatient.
Huang Shurou used to show some superficial concern for him, but later Fang Chengguang broke up with her because she always found some women to date him, so he moved out, and the two of them became strangers. In front of the old man, she would do her duty as a stepmother, but behind his back, the two of them turned a blind eye, and everyone knew who was who, so there was no need to pretend.
Huang Shurou smiled and said, "In that case, please come in. We just didn't tell you in advance so our family didn't prepare food for so many people. Mr. Fang in my family is very frugal. Every meal, everyone eats until they are 70% to 80% full, and we never waste anything."
Fang Chengguang glanced at her with undisguised sarcasm.
To say something like this in front of guests is either stupid or a deliberate act of disrespect and not bothering to be polite.
He said to Cheng Rushan, "Forget it. My family can't afford the meal. Let's go to your house for dinner." He turned around and was about to leave.
Huang Shurou's face fell for a moment, and she quickly put on a smile again: "Chengguang, you kid, you are so..."
"You little brat, who are you putting on airs with?" Fang Jianhua shouted, "You brought your friends with you, why don't you invite them in and sit down?"
Huang Shurou didn't dare to show displeasure to Cheng Rushan this time. She smiled and invited him in. She asked Xiaolian to get her slippers quickly, but Fang Chengguang walked in without a care.
Cheng Rushan did not refuse. He changed into slippers and walked in, greeting Fang Jianhua first.
Fang Jianhua looked at him, "Cheng Rushan."
Cheng Rushan: "Hello, Chief."
Fang Jianhua took the initiative to shake hands with him, "You are a promising young man, not bad." He glared at Fang Chengguang again, "Please have a seat and have dinner, my friend."
Fang Chengguang also took the initiative to help Cheng Rushan pull out a chair, "Please sit down."
Cheng Rushan sat down silently.
The babysitter started serving breakfast, which included seafood porridge, steamed dumplings, soy milk, fried dough sticks, red bean paste buns, steamed buns, and various side dishes.
Fang Chengguang: "It's a good thing that there are not many people at home." If there were more people, I'm afraid the table wouldn't be able to accommodate you.
Fang Jianhua was about to criticize him, but Huang Shurou quickly smiled and said, "You were going to come back for dinner today, so I specially asked someone to buy some more. Normally, your father and I only have porridge and steamed buns and pickles, and we can have a little more food now that you're back."
She personally served Cheng Rushan a bowl of porridge, "Cheng Rushan, right? Just be casual here."
Fang Jianhua was more friendly to Cheng Rushan than to the other party. "Eat whatever you want. Don't be restrained. You have to be more tolerant when making friends with a scoundrel."
Although Fang Jianhua joined the army in his early years, he has always been engaged in civilian work and has never led troops to fight, so he is not the kind of man who is powerful and strong without anger, and naturally he is not a rough man. But he is not gentle to his son, but rather simple and rough.
Cheng Rushan smiled and said nothing.
Huang Shurou felt that this man was a little hard to understand. He was not as stupid as He Changjiang, nor as stupid as He Liang.
Soon, the only sounds at the table were people eating in silence and the gentle knocking of spoons against fine porcelain bowls.
Huang Shurou put down the spoon and smiled at Chengguang, "Chengguang, I heard that you went out to play all night last night and didn't come back? Is there a girl you like?"
Fang Chengguang glanced at her with undisguised sarcasm in his eyes.
Fang Jianhua frowned. Although he didn't seem to have a good relationship with his son, he didn't delay his work. "You didn't have any mission yesterday? You weren't on duty either. Where did you go?"
As a soldier in the military district, it is against the rules to stay out overnight without reporting.
Although it is not that strict in reality, their Security Department has such rules. If they don't check, it's fine. But if they check, they will be held accountable.
Fang Chengguang glanced at Huang Shurou and said, "Don't worry, I'm single and I don't need you to arrange a blind date for me."
"How dare you talk like that?" Fang Jianhua glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Fang Chengguang: "Okay, you guys tell me."
Huang Shurou laughed and said, "Don't be angry. We are all men in the same family. How can we have so much resentment? Why do we quarrel as soon as we meet? What's the point of quarreling? Old Fang, you too, you care about your son so much every day, but you get angry as soon as you meet. Can't you just talk it out nicely?" She then said to Fang Chengguang, "Chengguang, don't always go against your father. Your father is doing this for your own good. You are an adult now, you should be sensible and stop making your father worry..."
"Okay." Fang Chengguang interrupted her rudely, but there was no anger in his voice, but laziness. He stopped eating and leaned back in his chair, "This is the Hongmen Banquet."
"Asshole!" Fang Jianhua slammed his chopsticks on the table. "How can you talk like that?"
Fang Chengguang: "Didn't you ask me to come back for dinner? Do you want me to say something nice? Fine, I won't say anything. I'm full and leaving now."
He made a move to stand up.
Cheng Rushan was drinking porridge silently. This porridge was delicious. There were shrimps, scallops, and fish in it. It was very delicious. He went back and told his mother and wife to make some for him.
Huang Shurou hurriedly stood up to comfort Fang Chengguang. Although she was not very beautiful, she had smooth features and a gentle voice, so she had a gentle beauty and it was difficult for ordinary people to be rude to her.
"Chengguang, let's talk nicely. Your father is doing this for your own good. If you think I did something wrong, just tell me. I have no objection."
Fang Chengguang ignored her and wanted to see what she was going to do.
Huang Shurou continued, "Chengguang, when you went to the provincial university to play with girls yesterday, did you run into some students making trouble? They fought over a dance partner, and ended up involving your little... involving Xiangyu. I heard that out of anger you helped those students and sent Xiangyu to the police station?"
Fang Chengguang tilted his head to look at her, wondering how she had the nerve to say this to him.
Of course, he really took the initiative to intervene and sent the man to the police station because that man was Huang Xiangyu. If it was another bastard harassing Jiang Lin, he wouldn't need to take action at all, Cheng Rushan could make the other party regret his ignorance.
Because it was Huang Xiangyu, and he had his brother-in-law to protect him, he took direct action and left them no chance to intervene.
As a result, Huang Shurou became anxious.
He is still playing dumb and misleading Fang Jianhua, saying that he deliberately fought with Huang Xiangyu for the female student and framed Huang Xiangyu.
Fang Jianhua didn't know about this. He just heard Huang Shurou say in the morning that there was a little friction between her brother and Fang Chengguang, and she wanted to invite him to dinner at home to reconcile, so Fang Jianhua didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, he heard Huang Shurou say that she would send Huang Xiangyu to the police station, and frowned, "You bastard, you are getting more and more reckless. You didn't even greet your relatives properly when you saw them, but you still sent them to the police station? This is really ridiculous."
Fang Chengguang sneered, "Are you not aware of the inside story, or are you deliberately distorting it?"
"Asshole!" Fang Jianhua was furious and slammed the table. "Don't bother with your political stuff. That's what I do!"
Fang Jianhua is the director of the Political Department and is very sensitive to such offensive words. He must stop them in time, otherwise it will become a fight between the left and the right.
Huang Shurou tried to comfort him, "Lao Fang, don't get excited. You said you were not feeling well, and Cheng Yi told you several times not to get angry. What are you doing? Let's talk it over."
Fang Chengguang put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking lazy and nonchalant, "Okay, let's talk about what's going on."
He said to Cheng Rushan, who was drinking porridge calmly and was not affected by them at all, "Brother Cheng, you can tell the truth in front of Master Fang."
Cheng Rushan slowly put down the spoon and said in a calm voice, "Commander, Chengguang didn't go dancing last night. My wife was in danger and asked him for help, so he went to protect her."
Huang Shurou's eyes darkened, and she said hurriedly, "Xiao Cheng, we must seek truth from facts and not exaggerate."
She knew what kind of person her brother was and instinctively thought that he was harassing girls again, but this time she hit a wall.
Cheng Rushan smiled at her, but the smile was cold. "Of course I dare not exaggerate at all. Someone blocked my wife with a gun and forced her to date. She repeatedly stated that she had a husband and son, but he still pursued her. When he learned that they were holding a social gathering at night, he brought eight hooligans with knives and guns to cause trouble, intending to destroy my wife's reputation in public, so that I would be ashamed to divorce her and force her to submit."
His voice was a little low and magnetic, which was very pleasing to the ears, but what he said made Huang Shurou very disgusted.
Huang Shurou: "Xiao Cheng, although I wasn't there, but from what you said, your wife's social skills are not very appropriate."
She actually wanted to say directly that Cheng Rushan's lover was not serious and did not follow the rules, and it was not certain whether he had actively seduced her.
Fang Chengguang sneered: "Who are you? Do you think others are who you are?"
…
You are the same as what you see in others. If you have something to hide, you will see others as acting in a sneaky way.
Fang Chengguang's words were more subtle than directly scolding Huang Shurou for misbehaving and seducing the leader, but they were just as powerful. After all, Huang Shurou had something on her mind and she immediately understood what Fang Chengguang meant.
Her face turned pale, and she blurted out: "Fang Chengguang, what do you mean!"
Fang Chengguang: “Literally.”
Fang Jianhua frowned, "Don't make a fuss!" He turned to look at Cheng Rushan, "What happened? Is your lover not hurt?"
Cheng Rushan shook his head and then recounted what had happened, of course emphasizing that Huang Xiangyu was swaggering with a gun and showing off his strong background.
Fang Jianhua's face was gloomy. "Who is that person?"
After hearing this, he had already guessed that it was Huang Xiangyu, but he still wanted to confirm it.
Cheng Rushan: "Huang Xiangyu, because he is a relative of the chief, so I want to ask the chief to do justice."
Huang Shurou screamed, "Nonsense, nonsense! Although my brother is a little naughty, he would never do such a bad thing." She said to Fang Jianhua, "Old Fang, you have also met Xiangyu. He is a little naughty, but he is not a bad person, right? Who wouldn't be rebellious when he is like Chengguang?"
The implication is that Fang Chengguang also always does something out of the ordinary, and Huang Xiangyu is similar to him.
Fang Chengguang said sarcastically: "Why don't you check the case files at the Public Security Bureau and find out?"
Huang Shurou's face turned pale, and she said in hatred, "Is someone deliberately trying to frame him? They have long disliked me and want to use him to target me?"
She lowered her head and sobbed.
Fang Jianhua's eyes wandered over Fang Chengguang and Cheng Rushan's faces, "Is Xiao Cheng's lover injured?"
Fang Chengguang stood up angrily: "If there is no damage, then you won't hold us accountable? Just treat it as a joke between that bastard and the woman, and teach him a lesson so that it won't happen again?"
Seeing him talking to him like this, Fang Jianhua angrily asked, "What's your attitude? Talking to the leader like this?"
Cheng Rushan: "Don't be angry, Commander. My wife is not injured, but others are. We followed the clues and found some old cases that were suppressed. Maybe the Commander has never heard of them. But we don't know if there are any people who used the Commander's power to deceive the Commander and bend the law for personal gain."
Cheng Rushan pulled out a notebook from his trouser pocket, which contained the records of He Liang and Bie Dongshan's interrogations, as well as the records of Huang Xiangyu's lackeys, etc. Although it was just a summary of the main points, it also had the signatures and fingerprints of Sun Kaixuan and others.
He pushed the notebook to Fang Jianhua: "The detailed files are at the police station. The chief can send someone to take a detailed look at them."
Huang Shurou's eyes were filled with tears. "Lao Fang, don't be fooled. They...actually used such a method to harm me."
Fang Jianhua frowned, glanced at Huang Shurou, picked up the notebook and flipped through it, and after a few pages, he slammed it on the table.
Huang Shurou said in a hateful voice: "How do we know it wasn't forged by you?"
Fang Chengguang said coldly: "You can force ordinary people to shut up, but we don't have the ability to force all the police in the police station to forge with us. No one cared before, and it was easy for you to suppress ordinary people. Now that we know about it, we can't just ignore it."
Fang Jianhua naturally knew this, Fang Chengguang didn't have that ability, but... He looked at Huang Shurou, "What's the name of your brother-in-law who works at the police station?"
Huang Shurou sobbed, "Lao Fang, you have to believe me, Jinshui has always enforced the law impartially and will never..."
Fang Jianhua didn't want to see her crying like that, so he turned and walked away. He went to the study and personally called Director Chang, Sun Kaixuan and others, asking them to come to the military region to report.
