Chapter 452: Isolated and Helpless

~10 min read 1,967 words

In the morning, the sun was good.

On the tree downstairs outside, a few birds were jumping. The cheerful chirping was refreshing! This was a beautiful morning.

I stood in front of the large window in the living room, feeling happy.

The sunlight shone through, and the room was painted with a layer of golden yellow. Warm, like a pair of gentle hands. In the sunlight, everything in the room became vivid, as if they had life.

A narcissus on the windowsill, its roots exposed in somewhat turbid water, looked increasingly white.

I stood for a while, preparing to change the flowerpot into a pot of clear water. Since this pot of flowers landed on the windowsill, except for occasionally seeing small flowers, I rarely paid attention to it.

And it, after experiencing rain and exposure, had been growing tenaciously. As if my neglect was irrelevant to it.

Flowers are like women, needing people to care for them. Lacking care, they will wither, at least they will not grow vigorously. And this narcissus on my windowsill seemed to be indifferent to the world, silently offering me the fragrance of the depths of my soul every night.

Narcissus is an immortal, not needing soil. They only need clean water to extend their lives well. If the water is turbid, they will wither, just like a strong man in his twenties who suddenly develops a serious illness, but as long as they are changed into clean water, they will instantly spit out fragrance, lush and vibrant, making people sigh at the tenacity and beauty of life.

Without Zhu Hua Yu's routine arrangements, I suddenly didn't know what to do that day. After wandering around the room in a daze for a few laps, I decided to go to Suxi Town.

Before I went out, the phone rang, and when I looked, it was Huang Weiwei.

My heart was filled with infinite joy, and a smile floated up from the bottom of my heart.

"Feng, something happened." Her voice on the phone carried a cry, making my smile freeze instantly.

"Tell me slowly!" I comforted her, while a mouse seemed to have burrowed into my heart.

"Aunt had an accident." She cried out, sobbing, like a drizzle after autumn, falling on banana leaves, making people feel infinite desolation.

It was like a fierce hammer hitting my heart, and I almost couldn't stand steady.

"What happened to Aunt?" I almost stuttered.

"A few people came last night and took Aunt away."

"What kind of people?"

"They said they were from the City Public Security Bureau."

"What about the child?" I remembered my aunt's beautiful son, and my heart felt like it was stuffed with cotton, making me unable to breathe.

"He's with me." Huang Weiwei stopped sobbing: "I wanted to call you last night, but I was afraid you'd be anxious. It's not safe to rush back overnight."

A warmth in my heart was instantly shattered by the reality of my aunt being taken away.

"Did they say what happened?"

"They did. They said Aunt's road and bridge company was suspected of contract fraud."

A roar sounded in my head, and I remembered Lin Xiaoxi's call to me, and a nameless fire burned instantly.

This is a means aimed at me! I understood very well. This play must be sung by Wu Quanzi. He is forcing me, and also forcing my aunt, to hand over the list in her hand.

"Not a man!" I scolded.

"What did you say?" Huang Weiwei asked me in surprise on the phone.

I pretended to be very relaxed and said: "Nothing. Maybe they got it wrong. I'll return to Hengyue City immediately."

After hanging up her phone, I stood still for a while. Sorted out my thoughts, and prepared to go downstairs.

Got into the car, inserted the key into the lock, and started the engine, only to find that my hands and feet were shaking, powerless as if they didn't listen to me.

I sighed, called Yu Wei, and asked him to drive to pick me up.

Yu Wei received my call and shouted happily: "Boss, I'll be there in five minutes."

When Yu Wei came to drive, I had already calmed down. Standing under a tall white poplar tree, staring at the curled bark on the trunk of the white poplar tree. On the bark, there was a pile of black ants, dragging a dead insect.

Yu Wei jumped out of the car with a beaming face and opened the car door for me.

As soon as the car started, he opened his mouth to speak: "Boss, let me go to work normally."

I smiled: "Don't want to study?"

Yu Wei looked bitter and said: "A person like me is not material for studying at all. Boss, think about it, if I could study, I wouldn't be mixing in the army, what would I come back to do."

"People nowadays compete for academic qualifications. Without academic qualifications, it's hard to move an inch. Do you want to drive for a lifetime?"

"If I can drive for the boss for a lifetime, I'll be satisfied. Really!" Yu Wei said earnestly: "A person like me, besides knowing how to drive, doesn't understand anything else."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, learn slowly." I said, looking out the window.

Yu Wei, who drove for the army leader, naturally had first-class driving skills. The car was as stable as sailing on a calm sea, and the scenery outside the window brushed past my eyes hazily.

I counted the electric poles on the side of the road silently, counted to one hundred, and counted from the beginning.

"Boss, I heard that the Qilin Villa matter has reached the province." Yu Wei asked me tentatively.

It's a taboo for a driver to inquire about these things. But I didn't criticize him, instead, I asked with interest: "Where did you get this news?"

Yu Wei saw that I was interested, and immediately laughed: "When my uncle and the others were chatting, I heard it."

Yu Wei's biological uncle was our Chunshan County Magistrate. As someone under one person and above ten thousand, it was impossible for him not to know the progress of the Qilin Villa case.

"Who was Yu Xianzhang chatting with?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Secretary Liu. They said this case might involve a wide range, and if it's not handled well, a batch of people will die." Yu Wei still wanted to talk endlessly.

I interrupted him and patted my thigh lightly: "Remember, these words, stop here. Do not spread them."

Yu Wei stuck out his tongue and said seriously: "I understand. Boss, don't worry. I'll let it rot in my stomach."

I smiled: "That's not necessary. When you need to say it, you must open your mouth."

He understood, looked ahead, and drove seriously.

Neither of us spoke, and the car was incomparably quiet. Except for the slight roar of the engine, no sound could be heard in the car.

Yu Wei reached out and pressed the audio, I wanted to stop it, but a gentle music poured into my ears, it was a piano concerto, ding-dong, knocking a restless heart into silence in an instant.

This kid is very clever, knowing what the leader needs. I sighed secretly in my heart.

Yu Wei driving for me was the instruction of the County Party Committee. The instruction of the County Party Committee was Liu Qimeng's instruction. After he drove for me, I didn't know his identity, until Zhu Hua Yu told me, I knew he was Yu Xianzhang's biological nephew.

Yu Xianzhang arranging his biological nephew to drive for me, it couldn't be said that he didn't put in painstaking effort.

I am not ignorant of human relationships, so when Xie Tian told me about the county-wide open recruitment, I felt the opportunity had come. I specifically arranged for him and Zhu Hua Yu to take a vacation to review and participate in the county-wide recruitment, I had ideas. As long as Yu Wei's grades were passable, I would let him leave the driver's position and arrange for him to be a deputy township head or something similar. Completely transform his identity.

Arranging Yu Wei well was a big gift I gave to Yu Xianzhang. Yu Xianzhang arranged his biological nephew through my hands, would he not understand me?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on my face.

Yu Wei was obviously paying attention to my expression, seeing me smile, he said: "Boss, where are we going?"

"Back to Hengyue City."

"Secretary Liu also went to Hengyue City this morning."

"Is that so?" I was startled and asked: "How do you know?"

Yu Wei laughed embarrassedly and said: "I've been in the small car class these days, not studying."

"Why not review?"

"Boss, a person like me, gets a headache as soon as I see a book. No way." He sighed: "I've been guarding the small car class every day, just waiting for your call. Sure enough, I received your call today, Boss."

He said with a grin: "I had a premonition this morning that you would call me."

I sneered: "What premonition?"

"Just arrived at the small car class this morning, I saw Secretary Liu's driver walking out in a hurry, I asked casually, and was told Secretary Liu was going to the city, a leader from the province came, and he was called to talk."

Everything came without warning. In fact, behind the scenes, precautions had long been taken.

I said "oh," and didn't take his words to ask further.

"Also, Secretary Old Guan also went to the city this morning." Yu Wei gave me another piece of information.

"He is a city cadre, it's normal to go back to report on work."

"I heard it's all for the Qilin Villa case." Yu Wei said bluntly: "My uncle told me, don't get involved in this matter if there's nothing, if it's not handled well, you'll lose your head. Boss, is this matter really that serious?"

"Maybe!" I sighed.

The information Yu Wei revealed turned over in my heart. I felt a trace of suffocation, as if a few thick walls were surrounded by my side, pressing me so I couldn't breathe.

Liu Qimeng went to Hengyue City, I knew nothing. Guan Peishan went to Hengyue City, I still knew nothing. I was like a lone goose that fell behind in the cold winter, incomparably desolate. And like a desperate blocking battle, surrounded by enemies on all sides, isolated and helpless.

People in desperate situations must have incomparably flexible thoughts.

Seeing that I was about to fall into a disaster, they two, either one of them moving a finger, I would have no place to die. My mind jumped out of my cousin He Zhi.

Like a drowning person seeing a straw, I suddenly felt incomparably smooth all over.

Fuck! Although I, Chen Feng, am from the grassroots, it doesn't mean I can be played in the palm of others! I thought secretly.

Took out the phone, I called Huang Weiwei.

"Weiwei, I'll go to the City Party Committee first."

"What for?"

"See Secretary He."

"Good." A cry of a child came from her side.

"Is Aunt's son there?"

"Hmm. Maybe he caught a cold, he has a fever." Huang Weiwei said: "I have to go to the hospital. Call me when you're done. Her mother is also looking for you."

"Good!" I hung up the phone, my heart aching like a knife. Thinking of Huang Weiwei holding my aunt's child and rushing on the way to the hospital, thinking of my aunt alone in the small dark room of the City Public Security Bureau, I had the urge to kill. ===== CHAPTER 453 =====
