Chapter 196: The Report Letter, The Discipline Office

Bai Fengqin looked closely and recognized that the person who had come to Ning Weidong's house was Wang Zipeng from the back courtyard.

She couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed and stepped back from the window.

Bai Fengyu, who was to the side, asked, "What is it?"

Bai Fengqin said, "It's Wang Zipeng. I don't know what he wants with Brother Weidong."

Bai Fengyu took a look out the window.

Just then, a knock came from the outer room, followed by Wang Zipeng calling out, "Little sister from the Bai Family..."

Bai Fengyu frowned slightly, immediately answered, and hurried to get up to greet him.

Wang Zipeng knew that the relationship between Ning Weidong and Bai Fengyu was unusual, so he asked urgently, "Where did Weidong go?"

Bai Fengyu said, "What happened? He hasn't come back since he got off work."

Wang Zipeng clicked his tongue, but didn't say what the matter was, only saying, "If Weidong comes back in a while, tell him to come find me."

Seeing this, Bai Fengyu's heart sank, but she suppressed her urge and didn't ask Wang Zipeng what exactly had happened.

For one thing, if it were something that could be said, Wang Zipeng would have already said it.

For another, even if she asked, she couldn't solve any problems right now, so it was better to wait patiently for Ning Weidong to return.

After saying this, Wang Zipeng walked away quickly.

Bai Fengyu closed the door behind her, feeling secretly anxious.

Knowing there must be some urgent matter, she couldn't help but look out the window, feeling worried.

On the other side, Ning Weidong had just left Shi Xiaonan's place and was riding his bicycle home at a leisurely pace.

He had broken into a sweat again just now, so the bath he had taken at the Siheyuan had been for nothing.

Shi Xiaonan's place didn't have the facilities, so Ning Weidong could only wipe himself off hastily before returning.

It was already past nine o'clock when he returned to the Dazayuan.

Ning Weidong pushed his bicycle into the East Cross Courtyard, kicked the kickstand down with a *clack*, and was just about to go back into his room.

Yet at this moment, Bai Fengyu came out of the room and called to him in a low voice.

When Ning Weidong turned his head, he felt a bit surprised.

Because there were many people in the courtyard and Bai Fengqin was at home, Bai Fengyu rarely took the initiative to look for him.

What was going on tonight? Ning Weidong stopped.

Unexpectedly, Bai Fengqin suddenly poked her head out from behind Bai Fengyu's shoulder and called out, "Brother Weidong."

Ning Weidong was stunned for a moment.

Bai Fengqin said quickly, "Wang Zipeng from the back courtyard came to look for you just now; it seems like there's some urgent matter."

Ning Weidong's heart stirred. Wang Zipeng looking for him—what could it be?

He asked, "What did he say?"

Bai Fengyu said, "Nothing, just told you to go find him when you got back."

Ning Weidong pursed his lips. Without thanking Bai Fengyu or Bai Fengqin, he turned around and said, "I'm going to the back courtyard to take a look."

Watching Ning Weidong's back disappear through the Moon Gate, Bai Fengqin pouted, wanting to go see what had happened as well.

But since she had agreed with Bai Fengyu just now not to get involved, she had to endure it helplessly.

Ning Weidong arrived at the back courtyard and headed straight for Wang Zipeng's house.

He knocked on the door, "Dong, dong, dong," and said, "Brother Wang, it's me, Ning Weidong~"

Footsteps were heard inside immediately, and Wang Zipeng opened the door and said, "My brother, you've finally returned!"

As he spoke, he ushered Ning Weidong into the room.

Wang Zipeng's wife, Qian Fangqi, was also there; she was likely dressed lightly at home, and upon hearing Ning Weidong knock, she draped a cloth shirt over herself. Ning Weidong called out "Sister-in-law." Although Qian Fangqi was not bad-looking, she was more than a notch below beauties like Bai Fengyu and Shi Xiaonan.

Ning Weidong asked, "Brother Wang, you were looking for me—what happened?"

Wang Zipeng knew the Bai sisters must have told him, so he didn't waste words and answered directly, "Brother, something might be about to happen..."

As Ning Weidong listened to his explanation, he couldn't help but frown slightly, though he wasn't too surprised in his heart.

It was just that he hadn't expected Qian Dacheng to strike from this angle.

It turned out that Wang Zipeng told him that just after getting off work today, a friend of his who worked at the Mechanical Bureau's Discipline Office had suddenly approached him, saying that someone had written a letter reporting Ning Weidong...

Wang Zipeng's friend didn't know about the relationship between Wang Zipeng and Ning Weidong, but he knew that Wang Zipeng was well-connected at the Red Star Factory, so he had come to ask him, wanting to get in touch with Ning Weidong to take this opportunity to get to know him and do him a favor.

Ning Weidong wasn't too surprised after hearing this.

In reality, he had seen this kind of situation many times.

As the old saying goes, those who live on the mountain live off the mountain, and those who live by the sea live off the sea.

A department like the Discipline Office, which holds some power in its hands, naturally wants to take the opportunity to expand its connections.

Ning Weidong said, "Brother Wang, what is your friend's name, and what is his background?"

Wang Zipeng said, "You can rest assured about that; his name is Feng Bing, and he doesn't have any background..."

Ning Weidong nodded; this matched his expectations. Generally, only such people would seize this kind of opportunity.

A move like Feng Bing's tonight was very reckless.

If Ning Weidong's reaction hadn't been what he expected, or if other uncontrollable factors had appeared, it would have left him very passive.

Ning Weidong thought for a moment, his face showing no signs of anxiety.

Wang Zipeng observed him from the side, secretly marveling at how Ning Weidong could really keep his cool; if it were him encountering such a report, he would have panicked long ago.

Could this be what they call being fearless because one has something to rely on? Wang Zipeng thought to himself, while Ning Weidong pondered and said, "Since Comrade Feng Bing wants to get to know me, there's no time like the present. Brother Wang, have him come over now and sit at my place."

Wang Zipeng nodded immediately; he knew Feng Bing's intentions: "Alright, I'll go now."

After speaking, the two left the room; Wang Zipeng rode his bike out of the Dazayuan, while Ning Weidong returned to the East Cross Courtyard.

After Wang Zipeng left, a look of gravity appeared on his face as well.

Although most such Report Letters are useless, if it is an action taken by Qian Dacheng, there will certainly be follow-up.

Otherwise, this kind of trick wouldn't even achieve the goal of venting one's anger; wasting resources and energy on such things is completely meaningless.

Therefore, Ning Weidong concluded that this Report Letter appearing out of thin air is just a pretext, and what follows is the real trump card.

As for the goal of the Qian family, Ning Weidong could also guess a thing or two.

It is nothing more than wanting to get Qian Xiaopeng out, and subsequently put pressure on Ning Weidong to provide some compensation.

It is not that the Qian family cares about Ning Weidong's compensation, but people care about their reputation just as trees care about their bark.

Qian Xiaopeng had his leg broken by Ning Weidong; if the Qian family had no reaction at all, setting aside whether they would be a laughingstock, they would fear others following suit.

Moreover, Ning Weidong was certain that this time there must have been the approval of that Qian Si Shu.

Otherwise, based solely on Qian Dacheng's influence, he would not have this capability.

It is just that that Qian Si Shu is a hypocrite who fishes for fame, refusing to enter the fray personally while hiding behind the scenes.

Or perhaps it also involves some internal situation within the Mechanical Bureau, or it could even be aimed at Ning Weiguo...

Ning Weidong narrowed his eyes, preparing to see exactly what kind of character this Feng Bing is.

In the courtyard, Bai Fengyu and Bai Fengqin were both waiting, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Seeing Ning Weidong enter through the Moon Gate, Bai Fengqin immediately went out to meet him and asked about the situation.

Originally, Bai Fengyu was still a bit hesitant, but seeing this, she simply followed her out as well.
