~6 min read 1,063 words

That afternoon, Weng Guoying got dead drunk, and Jiang Chaoyang was also six or seven parts drunk. Finally, knowing it wasn't very good to get drunk at someone else's house, he restrained himself. But Weng Guoying kept drinking with them, and no matter how they tried to persuade him, he wouldn't stop; he insisted on drinking.

In the end, Weng Guoying got drunk. Su Xinghui helped He Jinyan carry Weng Guoying into the room and let him lie on the bed to sleep. Looking at the sweat on the forehead of the frail He Jinyan, Su Xinghui said, "Sister-in-law, you've worked hard!"

He Jinyan smiled: "I should do it; it's you who have really worked hard."

Su Xinghui asked, "Sister-in-law, the things Brother Weng does are very dangerous. Do you support him?"

He Jinyan's affectionate eyes looked at Weng Guoying again: "He has always liked doing such things; he's stupid. But I like his stupidity. I have decided to follow him for the rest of my life, no matter what he does. If he has any accidents, I will serve my mother-in-law and take good care of my son."

Su Xinghui was deeply shocked. There is actually such a wonderful woman in the world!

Su Xinghui thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, if there are any difficulties, you can come to me. I will definitely do my best to help you."

He Jinyan nodded with a smile: "Thank you."

Su Xinghui returned to the living room. He, Lu Xiaoya, and Jiang Chaoyang bid farewell to He Jinyan and left the Weng house. He and Lu Xiaoya took a taxi to send Jiang Chaoyang home.

When sending Jiang Chaoyang to his door, Jiang Chaoyang said to Su Xinghui, "You are in Matou Town, Changshan County, right? When there is an opportunity, I will go there to see you."

Su Xinghui nodded: "You are most welcome."

Jiang Chaoyang laughed loudly, took out his key, and entered the house: "Fine, then I won't see you off!"

Watching him stagger into the house, Su Xinghui also shook his head and smiled.

Su Xinghui took Lu Xiaoya's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go pay a New Year's call to Director Wan."

Su Xinghui didn't hear Lu Xiaoya's answer. He turned his head and saw that Lu Xiaoya's face was not very good, as if she was in low spirits. He couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoya, are you too tired? Or should I send you home first?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "I'm not tired; I'm just moved by Brother Weng's affairs. He is truly a tough guy. I hope he doesn't have any accidents and that his family is safe and sound."

Su Xinghui nodded: "He won't have any accidents."

Lu Xiaoya held his hand tightly: "Mm, I hope so."

The two took another taxi to the dormitory of the Provincial Public Security Department and paid a New Year's call to Wan Yimin.

Wan Yimin was now the Executive Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, with the rank of Department Director. At the same time, he was also the most powerful candidate for the next Director of the Public Security Department and Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

Because of this, his home was now crowded. During the New Year, countless people came to pay him New Year's calls. When Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya arrived, a Public Security Bureau Chief from a district or county under Jiangcheng was paying him a New Year's call. However, when Wan Yimin saw Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya arrive, he ended his conversation with the Bureau Chief, asked his wife to bring a return gift, and then stood up and smiled: "Xinghui, Xiaoya, you're here."

Wan Yimin had gone to the Lu family to pay a New Year's call on the first day of the New Year, so he knew Lu Xiaoya. Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Director Wan, we're here to pay you a New Year's call."

Wan Yimin smiled and said, "You are too polite. Come to my study."

The two followed Wan Yimin into his study. Wan Yimin's wife served them two cups of tea. Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya both nodded in thanks.

Wan Yimin said, "I heard you are doing well in Changshan County."

Su Xinghui said, "I wouldn't say well; I can only say I've just made a start."

Wan Yimin said, "Well begun is half done. You've fired the first shot, and the things that follow won't be able to stump you."

Su Xinghui shook his head: "It's not that easy. What I want to do involves the interests of too many people, and I've offended too many people. If the pressure accumulates to a certain level, the resistance will also be unusually large. After all, I am just an outsider in Changshan County."

Wan Yimin said, "I believe that with your ability, resolving these pressures and resistances should be no problem."

Su Xinghui smiled: "Director Wan, you are too kind."

Wan Yimin shook his head: "Not at all. By the way, when you were in Qingxi County, you called me Uncle. Why have you become so distant now?"

Su Xinghui called Wan Yimin "Uncle." Wan Yimin nodded with a smile and asked, "When are you two getting married? I'll have to go and have a cup of wedding wine then."

Su Xinghui said, "It should be on the National Day, October 1st. I will invite you in advance."

Wan Yimin said, "Fine, then I will definitely go. By the way, there is one more thing. Xie Linsheng, the Changshan County Public Security Bureau Chief, also came to pay me a New Year's call yesterday. He shouldn't have left Jiangcheng yet. Do you want to meet him?"

Xie Linsheng? He was the Changshan County Public Security Bureau Chief, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and a member of the County Party Standing Committee. He was a powerful figure in Changshan County. And according to Ji Tao, this person was not from Changshan, so he maintained a relatively detached position in the Changshan Standing Committee and did not lean toward any side, just doing his own work well.

His ability was still very strong, and the public security in Changshan County under his governance was considered relatively good, without any very vicious criminal gangs of a black-society nature.
