Chapter 955: When it

Zhou Ruohan burst out laughing, giggling and saying, "You're really bad! I heard Zhao Nanxing really likes that, but he wouldn't… hahaha, you're killing me. If they really could pull something like that off, you should just volunteer to be transferred away."

"This kind of strange environment isn't suitable for a normal man's growth."

Saying that, her eyes suddenly flashed with an extremely alluring look: "Speaking of which, you have to rush back tomorrow morning, so we can't waste this last bit of time."

"Wasting is the biggest crime, and according to the earlier plan, you can at least stay until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth of the first month; I can slowly make preparations in advance."

"But not now—I want to clear out your ammunition stock for the past six months all at once."

"May I ask if you're ready?"

Su Yang said, "Come on, who's afraid of whom? Let you see my true peak strength—I guarantee you won't dare provoke me again."

"But let me first call Comrade Sun Chengjun to let him know about tomorrow morning's return."

He was still speaking when his pocket phone rang—it was Sun Chengjun calling. As soon as the call connected, Sun Chengjun urgently said:

"Something's happened in the county—there's been a death and also a clan fight. I have to rush back overnight. This time they might be targeting you, but no matter what, I'll do everything I can to take charge of it all."

Upon hearing that, he knew Ning Shu Yue was nearby and that she had already analyzed this matter.

Su Yang said, "No need—don't think about taking responsibility for me. As the Public Security Bureau Chief, you certainly can't escape blame this time, but we're not pushovers; we won't let them do whatever they want."

"Tonight you should rest; if you want to go out and see the night view, go see it. Tomorrow morning we'll take the earliest flight back, and then I'll see what these people are up to."

"These people in the county have been too comfortable for too long—it's time to make them feel some pain."

Sun Chengjun said, "Okay, I got it. But I'm not in the mood to go out and fool around now—I need to call Lao Ding and a few others separately to communicate and do some preliminary prep work, otherwise when we get back we'll be clueless."

"Moreover, this time I have to be the one to lead the charge and take the blame; you just need to handle your leadership duties."

Su Yang said, "Looks like you've made quite a bit of progress this time. That Ning teacher beside you is a good teacher—you should learn from her more and seek her guidance."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Zhou Ruohan had been beside them the whole time and also heard the conversation between Su Yang and Sun Chengjun.

She laughed and said, "What you just said isn't quite right—it should be Ning Shu Yue seeking guidance from Sun Chengjun."

Su Yang said, "You're downright obscene now—whatever you say you twist into this matter. So don't blame me for being harsh; come on, get ready to receive my move."

Zhou Ruohan laughed even more uninhibitedly: "Come on, who's afraid of whom? Today whoever surrenders their weapons will end up lying on the ground like a turtle."

Their time together was naturally joyful—if they could enjoy a moment, they would, and work matters could wait until work time.

According to Zhou Ruohan's view, that means work is work, life is life, they must never be mixed; otherwise you'll do poorly at work and live badly.

Su Yang was having fun, but someone remained tense—that person was Sun Chengjun, who at this point was practically wearing a bitter melon face.

As the Public Security Bureau Chief, he bore great responsibility in this incident; his failure to file a case promptly led to a subsequent large-scale clan fight.

In the past he would only think about his own duty, but after this experience he felt the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy; besides doing his own job and protecting Su Yang's safety, he also had to consider Su Yang's interests.

This was also a decision made by Ning Shu Yue this time.

Ning Shu Yue said, "Don't take it too much to heart; if worse comes to worst, there's always a tall person to prop up the falling sky. It's obvious that this matter is the newly appointed County Party Secretary giving Su Yang trouble, but don't forget he's also the county's top official—anything that happens, he's the one who bears it first."

"If it can be resolved, that's best; if it can't be resolved, there's actually a very simple way to magnify the impact of the matter."

"I can even get people from the Publicity Department to help you with that—once the matter is blown up to a certain extent, it's no longer up to your County Party Secretary to decide; instead, under public opinion from the outside world, your county's secretary will have to step up and take responsibility, losing his initiative. Of course, I say this only if necessary."

"If things go badly, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government might intervene, but you should first look at Su Yang's attitude and see how he handles it. In short, from now on you need to use more brains in the Public Security Bureau."

"Straighten out the work of the Public Security Bureau, grip all the core personnel that should be in your hands, make sure the entire bureau is of one mind—whenever you give an order, everyone must carry it out 100 percent."

"As for overall policy, just listen to Su Yang—do what he tells you to do, don't ask why, just execute it; even if it's knives and flames, don't furrow your brow. All your efforts will be richly rewarded, and I've already seen that, and our relationship speaks for itself."

"As long as Su Yang sails smoothly ahead, you too will reap endless benefits."

"I can see that both the Zhou family and Mr. Qiao now have high hopes for Su Yang and will give him certain resources."

"And Su Yang will certainly need people to escort and safeguard his future career—and you are the best choice for that."

"You two have a good relationship, having grown up together since childhood, and moreover, the previous two times you've been at the forefront charging ahead for Su Yang."

"They've seen all this, so you don't need to overthink things—just follow Su Yang's steps, and no matter what environment he faces, you must steadfastly support him."

Sun Chengjun said, "I didn't notice that—you see this quite deeply; I actually haven't thought that far ahead."

Ning Shu Yue said, "Your brain is actually only suited for charging into battle; you can't handle other matters, but you don't need to anyway."

"Going by what my dad says, with your political savvy, if you're below the bureau level you basically won't have big problems—as long as you're down-to-earth and willing to work. But if you go higher, you can't do it without external help; you need someone above to back you."

"Alright, you don't need to overthink this either—since Su Yang is going back with you tomorrow morning, he definitely has a counter‑strategy."

Sun Chengjun nodded and said, "I know he definitely has a way, but I just don't feel at ease about it."

Ning Shu Yue smiled and said, "As I said, don't overthink it—this matter will naturally be handled by Su Yang; shouldn't you be doing something else now?"
