Chapter 331: Son of Kindness

The fertilizer factory guard looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I'll have someone follow you, you won't mind, right?"

The car had already entered the courtyard, so what was there to mind or not mind?

"That would be best. With your help, we saved a lot of trouble."

It was Yang Shuji who said it, otherwise Li Xuewu wouldn't have rested on the road no matter what; it was too troublesome.

The guard waved his hand, signaling four people to come out of the duty room, and followed Li Xuewu towards the guesthouse next to the gate.

Arriving at the guesthouse, Yang Shuji and the others went in to register first and then went upstairs.

Li Xuewu took Han Zhan to organize the security team members to unload the equipment. Except for one person left in each car for armed guard, everyone else removed their weapons and got off the car to enter the guesthouse to rest.

This time they came out because there was discipline inspection following, so Li Xuewu also spent money openly. They handled accommodation, paid money, and asked the comrades in the guesthouse to help open the hot water bath.

Yang Shuji knew Li Xuewu's arrangement and didn't say anything.

It's good to come out with discipline inspection; not afraid of being checked, not afraid of looking for trouble later.

After arranging the people, under the guidance of the fertilizer factory guard, they drove the cars to the cleaning workshop.

The fertilizer factory, like the steel factory, was a large water user, so there was no shortage of hot water.

The factory guards looked at the two cars being washed under the lights, and their saliva was about to flow out.

This is too domineering!

The fertilizer factory guards had already envied them enough when they saw the people in the car get off earlier.

The equipment was very complete. Although they didn't carry weapons, one could still see the fierce spirit of these people.

Looking up at the "truth" on the roof of the car, these guards didn't believe Li Xuewu's talk about handling a case at all.

What kind of people are you going to catch?

After washing the cars, Li Xuewu took Han Zhan to replace the guards in the cars and let them go to the guesthouse to rest and wash up.

At this time, the factory guards had already become familiar with Li Xuewu and the two of them. It was cold outside, so they let Li Xuewu and the two of them park the cars at the entrance of the guesthouse and took Li Xuewu and the two of them into the guesthouse lobby to be on duty.

There is no relationship between men that cannot be brought closer by a cigarette.

If it doesn't work, then two.

After chatting with Li Xuewu and the two of them for a while, these guards had already relaxed their vigilance and only cared about asking about the two cars outside and the equipment on Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu, a social gangster, didn't refuse anyone and said a lot of things that made these four people drool.

But he didn't say a single truth or a single real punctuation mark.

When Yang Shuji and the others finished washing and came out, seeing Li Xuewu still on duty in the lobby, they hurriedly asked the people in the bathroom to hurry up so they could replace Li Xuewu.

When Li Xuewu finished soaking in the bath and came out in new clothes, he smiled at the few people waiting and said, "It's refreshing to change into underwear."

A few people laughed and went to the guesthouse canteen.

Because they came too early, the master on duty here dealt with it and made some sorghum porridge.

Li Xuewu and these people didn't dare to be picky. It was Amitabha if they had something hot.

They even had to look at the master's face to eat it.

After staying in the guesthouse for more than three hours, the motorcade set off again.

The spirit of the team members had been rejuvenated after a short rest. This was the benefit of young men.

Looking at Yang Shuji again, he was still in that state, listless, as if he was even more sleepy.

Getting into the car, Yang Shuji started to doze off and told Yang Zongfang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, to call him when they arrived.

Today was the third day after the New Year's resumption of work. After two days of adjustment, the workers' enthusiasm for work had been mobilized again.

The radio of the Steel City Steel Factory was also playing songs to encourage workers to focus.

Accompanied by the singing of "Nanniwan," Yu Decai, the secretary of the Steel Factory office, directed the cadres under him to get busy in the large conference room.

"Here, here, put the cup here."

"Oh my!"

Yu Decai had just corrected the placement of the cup on the main podium when he saw that the banner on the curtain was crooked.

"What are you doing? It's crooked again. To the left, a little lower."

"Hey! I didn't tell you to go lower!"

Today was the mobilization meeting for the new year's task goals of the Steel City Steel Branch Factory, also called the "focus meeting." From today on, normal production order and rhythm would be restored.

Because Factory Director Luo attached great importance to production work, Yu Decai was also very attentive to the layout of the meeting venue.

From the placement of seats to the tablecloth and cup placement on the main podium, everything had to be corrected one by one.

The cadres of the office and the trade union were almost exhausted by Yu Decai's instructions.

Even so, at the last moment of the meeting layout, Secretary Yu still frowned, looking dissatisfied.

As the cadres, cadres, advanced elements, and worker representatives of various units of the steel factory entered and took their seats, the factory leaders arrived late.

Led by Luo Jiaping, followed by two deputy factory directors, the factory secretary, and the head of the trade union, the five people walked slowly to the main podium and took their seats.

Yu Decai directed the equipment control personnel to adjust the microphone and directed the factory propaganda cadre to hold a camera to take pictures.

"Remember, take the group photo of the leaders first, then take Factory Director Luo, and finally take whoever is speaking."

"I know, Secretary Yu. Don't worry!"

Just as Yu Decai was talking to the propaganda cadre, the mobilization meeting had already begun under the chairmanship of Deputy Factory Director Feng.

"In the past year, under the leadership of Factory Director Luo Jiaping, the steel factory achieved fruitful results, exceeded the task indicators assigned by the general factory, and effectively guaranteed the great production, great construction, and great development of..."

Yu Decai didn't listen to Deputy Factory Director Feng's speech on the main podium at all, because he had already read these words many times.

It could be said that the speeches of those leaders on the main podium were basically from his pen.

The steel factory could be without a deputy factory director, but it could not be without Yu Decai—this was what Factory Director Luo Jiaping said himself.

"Next, please invite Factory Director Luo Jiaping to make a mobilization speech!"

As Deputy Factory Director Feng's voice fell, there was a thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.

Luo Jiaping stood up and waved to the audience. The applause below slowly stopped.

"Comrades!"

Luo Jiaping held his breath, preparing to vent all the unhappiness of the past year so that he could turn over a new page.

God knows how he spent this New Year. Li Xuewu and the others had just left, and Luo Jiaping had taken almost all his family assets to move around.

If it weren't for the fact that today's meeting required him to preside over it, he would still be in Beijing moving around in the courtyard.

Just when Luo Jiaping was about to vent the breath he had held with a slogan.

"Bang!"

The door of the meeting venue was forcibly pushed open by two fully armed people, and then a team of armed personnel in peculiar attire occupied several exits and key positions of the meeting venue.

Interested people had already seen the logo of the Security Division of the Red Star Rolling Steel Factory from the identity signs behind these personnel.

"Quiet!"

Yu Decai stood at the position of the meeting venue's audio control console and loudly demanded quiet to the crowd in the venue who were either standing up or arguing.

Just now, just when Deputy Factory Director Feng was making the opening speech, Yu Decai had already seen the movement at the factory gate from the window.

He even saw the black car with the words "Rolling Steel Factory" drive over, and also saw Li Xuewu lead people to rush in.

"Everyone quiet!"

Just when no one understood what had happened, Li Xuewu, wearing the regular uniform of the Rolling Steel Factory security cadre, walked in with Yang Shuji.

Following behind were the cadres of the First Section of Discipline Inspection.

When Luo Jiaping saw Li Xuewu, he knew he was finished; he hadn't outrun Li Xuewu after all.

But he wasn't afraid; he firmly believed that there would be a reward for his efforts.

He had to believe that someone would fish him out!

Yang Shuji took Yang Zongfang to the main podium and, in full view of everyone, said to Luo Jiaping: "Comrade Luo Jiaping, I am entrusted by the Discipline Inspection and Investigation Working Group of the Red Star Rolling Steel Factory to now issue a summons notice to you. Please come out with us to accept the investigation and make an explanation regarding the issues involved in the cases of Fu Changhua, Fu Haibo, and others."

Yang Shuji's words spread throughout the entire meeting venue through the microphone in front of Luo Jiaping, and the meeting venue suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Even the group of leading cadres sitting on the main podium frequently wiped sweat or adjusted their glasses to cover up their inner panic, not daring to look directly at Yang Yuansong and the others.

Li Xuewu waved his hand, and the two security team members following behind walked onto the main podium with guns in their hands.

Luo Jiaping knew that if he didn't cooperate, it would be asking for humiliation, so he obediently stretched out his hands.

The security team member took out handcuffs and put them directly on Luo Jiaping, and then, at Yang Shuji's signal, escorted Luo Jiaping out one on the left and one on the right.

Yang Shuji pointed to the remaining four people on the stage and signaled them to go to the lounge next door to talk.

These four people hurriedly stood up and followed Yang Shuji to the lounge.

Yu Decai hurriedly ran to the door of the lounge and opened the door. He originally wanted to go in to do service work, but was rejected by Yang Shuji.

Although Yang Shuji didn't let Yu Decai in, Yu Decai wasn't discouraged. He walked to the main podium and said to the cadres below: "Comrades, Yang Shuji of the Red Star General Factory has some things to discuss with our leaders. Everyone wait a moment, pay attention to the meeting discipline."

Just when Yu Decai was speaking, Li Xuewu had already led the security team members to escort Luo Jiaping out of the meeting venue.

Seeing Li Xuewu go out, Yu Decai followed Li Xuewu's direction and ran out.

No one in the meeting venue laughed at Secretary Yu's "busyness," because everyone had just understood what had happened, but they were all still in shock.

As Factory Director Luo Jiaping was escorted out, as those armed personnel in peculiar attire withdrew, and as Secretary Yu chased after them.

The crowd at the scene, who had no leader, began to whisper.

There were also those who didn't whisper, such as Xiao Changqing, who knew what had happened.

He was also dumbfounded. Who would have thought that after Fu Haibo was caught, it would really involve Luo Jiaping?

In the eyes of the cadres and workers of the steel factory, Luo Jiaping was an excellent leader. How could he be involved in Fu Haibo's case?

Xiao Changqing, who knew it was related, felt a stormy sea in his heart.

Last time when he sent Li Xuewu and the others away at the bureau, Xiao Changqing had also thought that there would be such a day.

But ever since he knew that Luo Jiaping had rushed to Beijing, he had no more hope for Li Xuewu.

There had been reports before, but what happened?

Luo Jiaping was promoted step by step, and the whistleblowers were sadly dismissed and disappeared into the sea of people.

The workers at the scene had already forgotten the rumors from some times, because whether it was in the factory newspaper or on the radio, Factory Director Luo was always correct, always concerned about the staff, and always serving the people.

These propaganda had made them forget the negative news about Luo Jiaping that was transmitted from time to time.

It was all fake news! It was all rumors!

Those who knew all this clearly were not just Xiao Changqing, not just those cadres on the stage, but also Yu Decai, who could be without anyone in the steel factory, but could not be without him.

"Li Ke, Happy New Year!"

"Secretary Yu, Happy New Year!"

Li Xuewu watched Luo Jiaping being escorted into the duty car, turned around, shook hands with Yu Decai who came out, and said: "Last time I also want to thank Secretary Yu for your help, otherwise I wouldn't have found Fu Haibo's home."

"Hahahaha."

Yu Decai laughed dryly twice and said: "I also happened to know this news by coincidence. This doesn't count as anything, doesn't count as anything."

Yu Decai also saw Luo Jiaping being escorted into the car, and also saw the fully armed personnel near the car, and the light machine gun on the roof of the car.

It seemed that this Tiger of the Security Division had suffered a loss last time and had brought heavy force this time.

Li Xuewu saw Yu Decai's gaze looking at the roof of the car, and smiled and said: "Let Secretary Yu laugh. I am famous for being timid. Coming to this dragon's den and tiger's lair, losing soldiers and generals, I was really scared."

Hearing Li Xuewu say this, Yu Decai was scared to death, hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Please don't say that. Steel City branch factory, no, I, I will definitely cooperate with all the investigations of our general factory, absolutely knowing everything and saying everything."

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu patted Yu Decai's arm and said: "What are you nervous about? I'm joking with you! Hahahaha!"

"Jok... joking?... Hehe joking... hehehehehe."

Yu Decai felt that he was about to be played to death by this Li Xuewu. His heart was jumping, his throat was a bit dry, and even the smile on his face was unnatural.

Who the hell is joking with you? Look at me, do I look like I'm joking with you? You are going to scare me to death, and I've even peed myself.

"Li Kezhang... Li Ke, you are so humorous!"

Li Xuewu looked at Yu Decai and said: "Our security cadres are not all dead faces. We treat comrades like spring breeze."

"Yes, yes, it's spring breeze!"

Yu Decai saw Li Xuewu say that he treated comrades like spring breeze. Is it spring breeze now? And is he his comrade?

He didn't dare not to be spring breeze, didn't dare not to be a comrade. The one who wasn't was already in the car.

Seeing Li Xuewu take out a cigarette, Yu Decai hurriedly took out his own Zhonghua cigarette and said: "Smoke mine! Smoke mine!"

But seeing Li Xuewu staring at the cigarette in his hand, he stopped suddenly, and the cigarette in his hand was like a hot potato.

Now Yu Decai wished he could give himself a big mouth.

"Hehehe."

Yu Decai forced a smile and said: "New Year, bought it to taste during the New Year, only these left."

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu took the Zhonghua cigarette from Yu Decai and said: "Then I will taste what this Zhonghua cigarette tastes like."

"Hehehe."

Yu Decai hurriedly used a match to light it for Li Xuewu and said: "Please don't joke with me. You are a big cadre, how could you have never seen this cigarette? Only we who can't get on the stage will rush to taste the freshness during the New Year."

Li Xuewu raised the Daqian Sect in his hand and said: "I'm not even as good as you. I only dare to taste Daqian Sect during the New Year, hehe."

"Hehe... hehehe."

Yu Decai now wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, so as not to let Li Xuewu continue to torture himself.

But Yu Decai didn't dare to leave. Luo Jiaping had been caught, and now it was hard to say who was in charge in the steel factory.

No matter who was in charge, he had to pass this hurdle.

And as for the gatekeeper, Yu Decai knew Yang Shuji, but Yang Shuji didn't know him.

So he could only approach Li Xuewu, because he was familiar with Li Xuewu.

"Li Ke, this, are we going back now, or are we going to handle the case here?"

"Oh?"

Li Xuewu looked at Yu Decai with a smile and asked: "Do you have any suggestions?"

"No, no, what suggestions could I have?"

Yu Decai almost called Li Xuewu grandpa in his heart. Don't play with me anymore.

"I was just thinking, if we go back, I will arrange the food immediately. If we handle the case here, then I will arrange the case handling location."

"Hehehe, Secretary Yu is still the most thoughtful."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "But this time Yang Shuji is leading the team, and the main case-handling force is also the discipline inspection cadres brought by Yang Shuji. We are also listening to Yang Shuji's arrangement. Why don't you go ask Yang Shuji?"

"Hehehe, I'd better wait here."

As he spoke, he bit his cigarette and looked at the meeting venue with a worried expression.

Li Xuewu didn't speak this time, smoking a cigarette, standing at the door and looking at Luo Jiaping who had already been hooded in the car.

The temporary meeting in the lounge proceeded very quickly. Li Xuewu hadn't finished smoking his second cigarette before it ended.

Led by Yang Shuji, they returned to the main podium.

Ironically, it was still presided over by Deputy Factory Director Feng, who introduced the purpose of Yang Shuji's party, criticized Luo Jiaping's love of grandeur during his tenure, and finally invited Yang Shuji to speak.

"Comrades, our discipline inspection is to protect cadres and serve cadres, not to punish cadres, but for cadres with bad situations, we will not be lenient..."

After stating the theme of serious discipline, Yang Shuji put forward several requirements, hoping that the cadres of the steel factory would set an example, work hard at their posts, and not be affected.

In the end, Yang Shuji also said that they welcomed the masses of the steel factory to provide clues to the investigation team, and also required the summoned cadres to actively cooperate with the organization when explaining.

Yang Shuji chose the guesthouse of the steel factory as the office location for the investigation team.

After the meeting, Yang Shuji took Yang Zongfang and the others to shake hands with Deputy Factory Director Feng and walked out.

Now the steel factory was temporarily presided over by the steel factory secretary Dou Changfang until the general factory appointed a new branch factory director.

Yang Shuji took the lead out of the meeting venue. Seeing Li Xuewu waiting at the door, he said to Li Xuewu: "Let's go to the guesthouse."

"Good."

Li Xuewu threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stepped on it, then waved to the security team around the car, and everyone got into the car and went to the guesthouse.

He waved to Secretary Dou who sent them out and signaled Yu Decai to follow.

Yu Decai gritted his teeth, licked his face, and got into the duty car.

The motorcade went directly to the guesthouse located in the corner of the steel factory.

This location was just in a corner of the steel factory, surrounded by trees, like a garden, looking quite quiet.

The guesthouse only had three floors. Li Xuewu and the others directly occupied the entire third floor.

After Li Xuewu and the others moved in, the stairs on the third floor began to be guarded by security team members, and Luo Jiaping was taken to a room on the third floor for detention.

Yang Shuji and the others allocated rooms according to work needs, some for security team members, some for Li Xuewu, some for discipline inspection cadres, and also temporary conference rooms and interrogation rooms.

Then there were rooms for talks. Starting today, Yang Shuji would have talks with the cadres of the steel factory.

Li Xuewu checked the security upstairs and downstairs, and finally decided on the police dog squad patrolling nearby 24 hours a day, and there was always someone on duty in the duty car parked at the door.

Everyone knew what the guesthouse was doing now. Those who were staying were looking for other places to stay, and those who wanted to stay didn't dare to come.

Yang Shuji was very experienced and didn't start interrogating Luo Jiaping right away, but first held a meeting with Li Xuewu and the others.

Then, with the help of the discipline inspection comrades of the branch factory, he started talks with cadres at or above the section level of the steel factory.

Because there was nothing important for the time being, Li Xuewu asked Yang Shuji for a leave of absence in a low voice.

He didn't hide it from Yang Shuji and said directly that his object was coming here and he needed to go to the train station to pick her up and arrange for her before coming back.

Yang Shuji knew who Li Xuewu's object was and had seen the power of Li Xuewu's mother-in-law in the hospital last time, so he approved Li Xuewu's leave.

Getting off the building, he opened the command car and drove out of the steel factory gate towards the train station.

Gu Ning received Li Xuewu's call, asked for leave from the hospital, and told her family, and only then set off on the fourth day of the New Year.

It just happened to arrive in Steel City today, so Li Xuewu drove the car to the station to pick her up.

Asking the ticket-checking staff at the exit, Li Xuewu waited for more than half an hour before Gu Ning's figure, carrying a suitcase and a leather bag, appeared on the platform.

Li Xuewu pushed the car door open and got off the car, walked to the exit, and waited.

Gu Ning also saw Li Xuewu standing at the door when she walked down the steps, smiled at Li Xuewu who was looking at her, and continued to walk out.

"Are you tired?"

Li Xuewu took the suitcase and bag in Gu Ning's hand and asked with a smile.

Gu Ning shook her head and said: "The family booked a sleeper, and I arrived after a sleep."

"Hmm, let's get in the car first. Are you hungry? If you are hungry, let's go eat breakfast first."

While walking to the car, he asked Gu Ning, who was covering her mouth with her hand and exhaling white gas.

"Not hungry, let's go to the place where we are staying first."

Li Xuewu turned back to look at Gu Ning, smiled, and put the luggage in the back seat of the car.

"Then get in the car, let's go."

Gu Ning opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, frowning when she saw the cigarette box under the windshield, but didn't say anything.

"We took turns driving, I really couldn't hold on without smoking."

Li Xuewu explained, and then stepped on the accelerator and set off.

For this explanation from Li Xuewu, Gu Ning tilted her head slightly and smiled at the car window.

Gu Ning seemed a bit tired on the way and didn't say much while leaning on the seat. After arriving at a villa area with classical styles, she asked: "Where are we going?"

Li Xuewu smiled and didn't say anything. After parking the car at the door of a villa, Gu Ning jumped out of the car with some understanding.

This time Li Xuewu was a guest, so he didn't do the act of an evil guest who didn't ask and entered.

He rang the doorbell once, waited for more than ten seconds, and a small boy's figure appeared in the window, and then the villa door opened.

Zhou Wang Yamei looked at the man and woman standing at the gate, looked at Li Xuewu's face again with some disbelief, and then walked over with a smile.

"You are here."

"Hmm, might have to bother you for a while."

Li Xuewu smiled and greeted, then introduced to Zhou Wang Yamei: "This is my girlfriend Gu Ning, a surgeon at the Beijing Military Hospital."

Then he introduced to Gu Ning: "This is Ms. Zhou Wang Yamei, whom I mentioned to you, an expert in psychology."

Zhou Wang Yamei looked at Gu Ning, who was standing tall and graceful in a blue coat, and asked with a smile: "Are you the friend Li Ke mentioned who diagnosed him?"

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu, not knowing what this meant.

Li Xuewu smiled and pointed to the back seat of the car and asked: "I don't know if we can bother you for a few nights."

Zhou Wang Yamei was stunned when she heard Li Xuewu's words, and then smiled and said: "Of course no problem, welcome anytime."

Li Xuewu turned around, took Gu Ning's luggage and bag from the back seat, and said to Zhou Wang Yamei: "I am handling a case in Steel City, and Gu Ning is here to accompany me, but I only have one friend in Steel City, so I can only trouble you."

Zhou Wang Yamei felt a warmth in her heart when she heard Li Xuewu say she was a friend, knowing that Li Xuewu had settled the relationship between the few people.

Actually, Li Xuewu saying he was bringing his girlfriend to stay here had already moved Zhou Wang Yamei very much.

This was trust, and also a signal to let Zhou Wang Yamei rest assured.

"Not troublesome, it's just me and Zhidong at home. It's lively when people come to stay."

As she spoke, she had already taken Gu Ning into the courtyard.

Li Xuewu carried the luggage and followed behind, walking and saying: "Ms. Yamei is talking about the time we chatted on the car to Beixinqiao Station last time."

This could be considered explaining to Gu Ning what Zhou Wang Yamei said earlier.

Gu Ning smiled and said: "Xuewu told me after he went back that there is a very powerful psychology expert here, so I thought I would take advantage of his convenience this time and follow him to learn from you. Sorry to bother you."

"Let's not be polite."

Zhou Wang Yamei opened the door while finding slippers for the two and said: "I might be older than you, but we are all the same age, so let's call each other by name, let's not use 'comrade'."

Seeing that Li Xuewu and the two had changed their shoes, Zhou Wang Yamei smiled and took Gu Ning and the two upstairs.

"There are three rooms upstairs, I live in one with Zhidong, you..."

Gu Ning smiled and said: "We are not married yet."

"Then one room each, just right."

Zhou Wang Yamei smiled and opened the curtains on the stairs, and the stairs instantly became much brighter.

Entering the guest room, Li Xuewu put Gu Ning's luggage and bag on the cabinet in the room and said to the two with a smile: "My time is not fixed, and I might not come back. You don't have to wait for me for meals."

As he spoke, the three of them walked downstairs again. When they reached the first floor, they saw the little boy playing with toys in front of the fireplace again.

Zhou Wang Yamei was busy making tea and let Li Xuewu and the two sit.

Gu Ning walked to the three-seater sofa and sat down, while Li Xuewu walked to the little boy and sat on the carpet.

"Do you still recognize me?"

The little boy looked up at Li Xuewu, then nodded and said: "The brother who can do magic tricks."

"Zhidong, call him uncle!"

Zhou Wang Yamei put the teacup in front of Gu Ning and put one in the position next to it, and said to the little boy: "You have to call him uncle, Uncle Li, and this one is Aunt Gu."

The little boy looked at Gu Ning and called: "Aunt Gu."

Gu Ning smiled at the little boy, which was considered a response.

Looking at Gu Ning, the little boy turned to look at Li Xuewu, but didn't call out Uncle Li.

Li Xuewu crossed his legs, looked at the whole piece of wood by the fireplace, and then looked at the furnishings in the room.

Then, when the little boy was looking at him, he suddenly took out a small pistol from behind his waist.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Li Xuewu's action of taking out the gun startled Zhou Wang Yamei. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Xuewu took out a toy pistol for children.

When she turned back, she saw Gu Ning looking at herself. Zhou Wang Yamei smiled awkwardly.

When Zhou Wang Yamei turned her head, Gu Ning took a sip of the tea in front of her.

The little boy looked at the pistol in Li Xuewu's hand and blinked, asking: "Uncle, what is this?"

"Hehehe."

Li Xuewu handed the pistol in his hand to the little boy and said: "This is the child of that kind gun of mine. I named it Son of Kindness."

"Wow!"

The little boy played with the small pistol in his hand, looking novel.

Zhou Wang Yamei heard Li Xuewu's words, her hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Li Xuewu was not only gratitude but also carried an inexplicable meaning.

"Uncle, is it very kind?"

"Must be!"

Li Xuewu unbuttoned two buttons of his coat, pointed to the M1911 in his arms, and said to the little boy: "Like its father, it is also a kind gun, never having hit anyone, nor having done anything wrong."

The little boy gripped the "Son of Kindness" that looked nine-tenths like the gun in Li Xuewu's arms, stared with big eyes, and looked at Li Xuewu excitedly.

And Li Xuewu looked into the little boy's eyes and said: "So, Uncle, if I give the 'Son of Kindness' to you, can you be like it and be a kind, good child?"

The little boy looked at Li Xuewu, then looked at the gun in his hand, then raised his head and nodded solemnly to Li Xuewu, saying: "I will."

Li Xuewu stretched out his hand. Seeing this, the little boy smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu let go and stood up, saying to the little boy: "Uncle has something to do, have to deal with bad people, so now can our man Fu Zhidong take on the responsibility of protecting Mom and Aunt Gu?"

The little boy looked at Li Xuewu, then looked at his mother and Aunt Gu.

Seeing his mother's face full of encouraging smiles and Aunt Gu's smile, the little boy nodded to Li Xuewu again.

"Hehehe."

Li Xuewu nodded to the little boy with a smile, then said to Gu Ning and the two: "You guys chat, I'll come back in the evening."

Seeing Li Xuewu walking out, Zhou Wang Yamei stood up and sent him out, and said with a smile: "Gu Ning hasn't eaten breakfast yet, I'll make something."

"Good."

Zhou Wang Yamei tidied the hair by her ear and sent Li Xuewu out the door.

Li Xuewu didn't go directly back to the Rolling Steel Factory but went to the Steel City Bureau.

Nie Liansheng was also surprised by Li Xuewu's sudden visit, but then he smiled when he saw the two bottles of wine in Li Xuewu's hand.

"What's up? Do we Beijingers have the custom of bringing our own wine when visiting friends? Afraid our wine isn't good?"

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu smiled and put the wine on Nie Liansheng's desk, saying: "On the contrary, I want you to taste our Beijing-produced Niulanshan to see if there is such good wine here. I want to take some back."

"Yo!"

Nie Liansheng smiled and said: "Li Ke changed his profession to the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"Don't mess with me!"

Li Xuewu leaned close to Nie Liansheng and asked in a low voice: "Do you have time at noon? Let's go out and have some?"

Nie Liansheng looked at the desk, then gave instructions to the person behind him last time, and took Li Xuewu out of the office building.

Seeing the command car Li Xuewu drove, he couldn't help but walk around it twice, then gave Li Xuewu a thumbs up.

"It really is a Beijing colleague, the equipment is different."

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu pointed to the car and said: "You want to drive?"

"Hahaha, then I'll drive."

Nie Liansheng took the key Li Xuewu handed over, opened the modified car door, and got into the car.

Seeing the radio station between the seats, his eyes couldn't help but look at Li Xuewu and ask: "You wouldn't have..."

"What are you thinking!"

Li Xuewu knocked on the radio station and said: "Just eliminated, very cheap, just use it."

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Nie Liansheng started the fire, drove the 212 out of the bureau courtyard, and got on Victory Road.

"I have to say, this car is steadier than the GAZ!"

"Hehe."

Li Xuewu kicked under his feet and said: "How many things have been added, can it not be steady?"

The two chatted and came to a restaurant next to Victory Road.

Nie Liansheng jumped off the car and said to Li Xuewu: "The sauerkraut here is delicious. You taste it later."

"That's great!"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Our family also pickles sauerkraut, but maybe it's the water quality problem, it's always not as delicious as the sauerkraut here in the Northeast."

The two entered the restaurant. They should be familiar with the manager here. Nie Liansheng familiarly greeted a woman in her thirties and took Li Xuewu to the second floor.

After the two sat in the private room, they didn't need to order dishes. The waiter brought the sauerkraut pot up.

Nie Liansheng put the two bottles of wine Li Xuewu brought on the table and said with a smile: "One bottle for each of us, so it won't delay the work in the afternoon."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "You are the landlord, listen to you."

Laughing, the two opened a bottle of wine each.

The waiter sent two wine glasses and two cold dishes and closed the private room door.

The two poured a glass for themselves, then touched it and drank it in one gulp.

Repeating this, until the third glass was put down, they started to eat dishes and talk.

Nie Liansheng picked up a piece of sauerkraut and asked: "This time you came for the aftermath of the steel factory?"

"Hmm."

Looking at Nie Liansheng eating sauerkraut, Li Xuewu also picked up a piece and nodded.

There was nothing to hide about this. Last time at the bureau, Nie Liansheng already knew that Li Xuewu was going to clean up those people in the steel factory.

"But I'm not leading the team this time, just doing security support work."

Nie Liansheng shook his head and said: "Doing our line of work, it's all day and night, no home, no family."

"Hehehe."

Li Xuewu laughed: "No way, who let us have this fate."

As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and had another one with Nie Liansheng.

"Is Ma San'er's case over?"

"Hmm?"

Nie Liansheng looked up at Li Xuewu, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Not yet, many people have been confessed, some have already run away, and we are catching them."

"Mine is also."

Li Xuewu poured himself wine and then said: "Basically it's like this, this is the final aftermath."

Nie Liansheng looked at Li Xuewu and then laughed: "That's enough. How many big fish have you caught in this net? Don't close the net too big, or you'll get a fish-dead-net-broken."

"Hahahaha, who said it's not!"

Li Xuewu picked up a cold dish of mixed dried tofu shreds and asked Nie Liansheng with a smile: "Have you been busy with this recently?"

"Otherwise what?"

Nie Liansheng was in his forties this year, his face full of vicissitudes, and his hair was a bit white, but his eyes were indeed very clear.

Even though Li Xuewu had already drunk more than half a catty of Niulanshan with him.

Seeing Li Xuewu drinking and eating without speaking, Nie Liansheng asked with a smile: "You wouldn't really have been transferred to the supply and marketing cooperative, right?"

As he spoke, he counted: "I remember you were a cadre in the Rolling Steel Factory, and a Deputy Division Chief in the branch bureau, now...".

"No."

Li Xuewu put down his chopsticks, finished eating what was in his mouth, looked at Nie Liansheng and said: "Have a friend, have some ways, want to earn some hard-earned money. You also know, it's difficult now."

"Oh?"

Nie Liansheng looked at Li Xuewu with smiling eyes and asked: "With your salary in the Rolling Steel Factory and the salary in the branch bureau, you don't need to do this, right?"

"Already said it's a friend, hahahaha!"

"Ah? Hahahaha!"

The two touched a glass and then drank it in one gulp without saying anything.

"The whole country is a game of chess. Your friend is having a hard time, and our Steel City is having an even harder time."

Hearing Nie Liansheng say this, Li Xuewu nodded to show understanding and said with emotion: "Who said it's not."

Although it was very hurried last time, he had spent some time with Nie Liansheng and had a rough understanding of this person's character.

Being able to sit in the position of deputy captain, being able to smooth things over, and letting Li Xuewu walk out of Steel City safely and without worry, one could know Nie Liansheng's wrist.

Another thing, when he left last time, the hot water and pancakes and pickles in the car were not simple meanings.

How much is a thermos?

The two are not good friends, and the two units are not intimate units. Why did Nie Liansheng prepare this for Li Xuewu?

Why did Nie Liansheng push the face of the local steel factory director and help Li Xuewu?

Yes, why?

Isn't it because Li Xuewu is a cadre from Beijing, because Li Xuewu is particular about doing things, and because he talks about having more friends and more paths?

The "honest and simple" Li Xuewu could see what kind of person Nie Liansheng was at a glance.

Nie Liansheng pointed to the blood sausage and white meat in the sauerkraut and said: "Taste this, it's not greasy at all, the oil has all been taken away."

"Hehehe."

Li Xuewu picked up the white meat with "all the oil taken away," dipped it in the garlic soy sauce dish in front of him, and tasted it.

"Hmm, it really doesn't have any oil!"

Li Xuewu put down his chopsticks and said to Nie Liansheng with a smile: "It's really delicious, but there's no oil at all. Once or twice is fine, but after a long time, hehehe, right." ===== CHAPTER 332 =====

Li Xuewu set down his chopsticks and said to Nie Liansheng with a smile, "It's delicious indeed, but there's not a drop of oil in it. Once or twice is fine, but after a long time, hehehe, you know."
