Chapter 431

Guan Peishan's reminder left me in a dilemma. The Provincial Governor Lin before me came for me specially, which moved me and made me uneasy.

I, Chen Feng, a small vice county magistrate, young and frivolous, with no hair on my mouth. How can I be favored by Provincial Governor Lin?

Provincial Governor Lin is busy with ten thousand things, busy with official business, but came to Chunshan County quietly. He didn't want the outside world to know the purpose of this trip! Only private matters would deliberately avoid the outside world.

I became more and more terrified, so that the fine sweat all over my body drilled out of the pores one after another. The air in the room, in my opinion, already belonged to being incomparably stifling. It was as if a pair of invisible big hands tightly pinched my neck, making me unable to breathe, making me bleed into my head, making my heart beat faster.

"I want to say a few words to Xiao Chen alone." Provincial Governor Lin said slowly.

Guan Peishan got up immediately and let us into his study. He and Lin Xiaoxi accompanied two guests to boil water and make tea in the living room.

Guan Peishan's study is very large, and all three walls are bookshelves. Each cabinet is stuffed with books. I scanned it at will, all kinds of schools of thought, astronomy and geography, science and literature, everything. Guan Peishan is a person who has read a lot of books! When I saw that almost every book had traces of flipping, I came to a conclusion in my heart.

But any person, as long as they like to read, must have pearls in their belly. How high a person's knowledge is determines how high their social status is. People who are ignorant will eventually be a straw bag, even if they get a little bit of leftovers by chance, and mix up a wind and water, they won't go far or climb high.

I have an innate worship and intimacy for people who read books. This is not only because I also love reading, but more importantly, reading can sublimate my spirit.

Provincial Governor Lin seemed to have no time to pay attention to the books all over the room. Leaders of their level read more books. The study must be more imposing. For example, Guan Peishan's study, compared with cousin He Zhi's study, and Organization Department Minister Huang Shan's study, seems to be missing something faintly. I looked around, and suddenly realized that whether it was my cousin or Minister Huang's study, there must be the four treasures of the study, there must be famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and in the corner of the wall, there must be a few antiques.

And in Guan Peishan's study, besides books, a desk, two chairs, there is nothing else.

We sat opposite each other. Provincial Governor Lin was full of smiles, kindly took my hand, patted it lightly, and said, "Xiao Chen, let me tell you a story."

I nodded hurriedly, accompanied by a smile, and said, "Provincial Governor Lin, please instruct."

He waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. It's not any instruction, I just want to tell you a story."

I listened attentively, looking at him, thinking in my heart, you, a provincial governor, what kind of story will you tell me?

Provincial Governor Lin cleared his throat, sat up straight, and said in a calm voice, "Twenty years ago, there was a little girl. Her mother passed away because of illness. At that time, this little girl was just four years old.

When the little girl's mother passed away, she told her father that she must raise the child to adulthood. Absolutely not let the child suffer any grievances.

At that time, the little girl's father was a cadre who was valued by the organization and had a brilliant future. His wife's death dealt him the biggest blow in his life. He promised his wife that even if he had to beg for food, he would not let the child suffer any grievances.

The fact is, the little girl couldn't bear the blow of her mother's death, although she was only four years old, she seemed to understand many lives. She locked herself in the room, crying every day, not eating or drinking.

This approach of the little girl was no different from sprinkling salt on her father's wound!

Later, her father married a woman as her stepmother because of the needs of life. But the little girl rejected it, in her view, her father could only belong to her mother, and other women absolutely could not live with her father, let alone live with her.

Since then, she not only hated her stepmother, but also hated the father who gave her life.

Soon, the little girl became a big girl. Decades passed, she never forgave her father, and she didn't go home after graduating from university. She made friends with people in society, not only drinking heavily but also fighting. A girl doing this is simply a waste of life."

Provincial Governor Lin sighed heavily, and when he told this story, his brows and eyes were full of pain. It was as if he was telling his own story.

"Finally one day, her best little sister died because of taking too much drugs. She saw her little sister close her eyes with her own eyes. This little sister had almost the same experience as her.

When the little sister was dying, she said to her, 'People only remember the cherishing of existence when they lose it. Living well is being responsible for yourself and responsible for your relatives. In this world, everything is fake, only family affection is something that cannot be cut off.'

Maybe it was such a paragraph that woke the little girl up. She knelt at her father's feet and cried bitterly, deeply blaming herself.

Later, she didn't want to stay in the big city, she said she couldn't bear the noise, vanity, and the pain hidden deep in her heart in the big city. She wanted to go to a remote small place to purify the rebellion she had had for so many years."

When the story reached here, I seemed to understand something. But faintly, it couldn't be linked to the person I thought of in my heart.

Provincial Governor Lin is telling a story, is he talking about himself? But the Lin Xiaoxi I know can't see any rebellion at all. In my eyes, she is a generous, beautiful, and knowledgeable good girl!

"This little girl, except for her mother, she seems to have never loved anyone else in her life. Even her father, she doesn't love."

Provincial Governor Lin lowered his head, his eyes fixed on his toes, and said infinitely dejectedly, "Everyone knows that they are all painful."

I took over the conversation and said, "This little girl, in fact, has a knot in her heart that hasn't been untied. Untie this knot, and everything will be solved."

Provincial Governor Lin nodded in approval, and a kind smile appeared on his face again. He seemed very gratified and said, "This little girl told me that she fell in love with someone."

Provincial Governor Lin stared at me, and I looked away. It is best for subordinates not to look at leaders, as that will make leaders feel that their authority is being challenged.

This sentence of Provincial Governor Lin made my heart jump a few times.

I know who he is talking about, and I feel that this story is paved, and it will have a relationship with me!

I deliberately acted stupid and said, "Actually, there are many choices to love someone, if you fall in love with someone you shouldn't love, it's another injury."

Provincial Governor Lin nodded seriously, pondered for a moment and said, "So, I can't let her be hurt again. And I won't allow anyone to hurt her."

I was speechless. Provincial Governor Lin's words were telling me that for the sake of his daughter, he would not hesitate to do anything.

"You should know who I'm talking about, right?" Provincial Governor Lin asked me with a smile.

My smile stiffened on my face. Provincial Governor Lin almost opened the lid, he talked to me, just to warn me, who cannot hurt his daughter again.

"But..." I stammered, not knowing how to express myself.

Provincial Governor Lin waved his hand and said, "Xiao Chen, you are young, and your future is very bright. Life, sometimes as long as you miss a step, you will lose everything."

I smiled awkwardly, but my heart was like a mouse crawling, gnawing at my heart from time to time.

"You are a regular division-level cadre now?" Provincial Governor Lin asked me.

I nodded, my consciousness was blank.

"I think you are a talent. The case in your county this time, I heard that it was led by you, I can't see it, you have innate investigative sensitivity."

"It's also an accidental pickup." I smiled weakly, and for the Provincial Governor Lin before me, I didn't even have the courage to speak.

I could no longer sit still. It was as if there were thousands of awls under my butt, stinging me with pain all over.

I stood up, my hands hanging on both sides of my body, and sweat began to emerge on my head.

Provincial Governor Lin comforted me, "Don't be nervous. Sit down and talk."

How dare I sit! The two halos he wore were any one of them incomparably bright. Like a small vice county magistrate like me, in his eyes, I am not even a dog fart.

He came so quietly and found me without making a sound. Is he here to hold me accountable, or is there something else?

My heart was jumping wildly. I didn't dare to look at him, my eyes fixed on my toes, and I didn't seem to hear his words at all.

Provincial Governor Lin stood up, walked to my side, patted my shoulder, and said, "County Magistrate Chen, sit down. You standing like this, I, an old man, am embarrassed to sit."

I had to sit down, but I didn't dare to sit firmly, only letting my butt touch a little bit of the sofa. As if there was a spring under my butt, I would jump up at any time.

"You should also know that the main criminal suspect died, right?" He asked me lightly. He seemed a bit satisfied with my fearful appearance.
