Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tianshui was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then thanked:

"Brother Xi, thank you for reminding me. I didn't expect Xia Yingying to come back so soon.

Go and carry out Leader Xia's orders. Do whatever he says and don't let it affect his impression of you."

Xi Jun put down the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He actually felt very conflicted. He was Xia Minglei's secretary, and with his training, he was promoted to the current secretary general of the municipal government.

Xia Minglei is his immediate superior and has been very kind to him in nurturing him. He should not disclose Xia's family affairs.

However, there was a Xia Zijian in the middle. Xia Yingying's man was Ye Tianshui's brother-in-law.

Ye Tianshui also felt grateful to him for his help. As the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, he and Xia Zijian did not have much overlap in work, but their offices were both in two buildings in the same compound.

The reputation of any leader will more or less reach his ears.

Based on Ye Tianshui's recognition of Xia Zijian and Xi Jun's knowledge of Xia Zijian's work attitude and ability, he believed that this young cadre, who was younger than him and had the same administrative level, was a good person.

But from his perspective, Leader Xia's daughter is not a good wife or a good woman who is suitable for the family.

If they had a good relationship, Xi Jun would naturally not judge them by a single word.

But their relationship has been obviously not harmonious in the past two months. He just provided a piece of information to Ye Tianshui, which should not be considered a betrayal to Leader Xia.

No matter how Master Ye and Deputy Director Xia deal with Xia Yingying in the future, Xi Jun promised that he would never interfere again.

Next, Xi Jun decisively made several phone calls, first to Pengcheng Hotel, asking whether Xia Yingying had returned home yet.

Before he got a reply from the other end, he called Hou Yong's company again, and they also said that Xia Yingying did not go to the company.

"Has your boss Hou Yong returned to the company?"

Xi Jun asked in a serious tone.

"Our boss is not in the company, who are you?"

It was the voice of a young woman.

"I'm your boss's fellow villager. Do you know where he went this afternoon? I have a project here and I want to discuss it with him."

The leech heard someone's noise. Xi Jun deliberately threw out this information so that after Hou Yong heard it, he would definitely bring Xia Yingying to find him as soon as possible.

At the same time, he called several teahouses. Xi Jun had investigated Xia Yingying before, and these were common traces. She often went to these places.

The key point was that he couldn't mobilize a large force to search for her, so after making the call, he just waited for news by the phone.

Ye Tianshui hung up the phone, and Pan Shifeng asked with concern:

"Xiao Shui, do you want to go out and help look for it?"

"Sir, do you want us to send someone out to look for her? The place is so small, it shouldn't be difficult to find Xia Yingying."

Xu Zhen also asked for Ye Tianshui's opinion, and they all heard what was said in the microphone.

Ye Tianshui shook his head and refused: "Our people must not interfere in this matter.

I'll call Brother Zijian to see if he's in the office and ask him to come over and tell him."

He was not sure what his brother-in-law's attitude was towards the daughter of the Xia family. Was he willing to take her home?

I then called Xia Zijian's office number, but the call went unanswered:

"He is in the office, but he is also on the phone. Let's call back later." Ye Tianshui explained.

There is no rush about this matter anyway. After Xia Minglei finds his daughter, he will need to give her some advice.

Perhaps, we need to ask them seriously and educate them.

Ye Tianshui dialed the number for four or five minutes but the call was still not connected.

"Is the microphone not placed properly? Or is he on the phone?" Ye Tianshui said to himself.

Regarding the matter of Xia Zijian and his wife, he and Zi Lan have never known what attitude to adopt.

Persuade them to make peace? They felt that their words were insincere.

Advise them to break up? It is normal for newly married couples to have some conflicts and quarrels, but it is even more unacceptable.

Xia Yingying returned to the capital some time ago, and even Ye Yiling never mentioned his daughter-in-law in front of them again.

Therefore, Ye Tianshui was not going to talk to Xia Zijian about him and Xia Yingying on the phone. He was going to call him over to ask him about it in detail. He was already in a passive situation and could not just let it go any longer.

Xu Zhen and Pan Shifeng looked at each other, stood up and said goodbye. These were private matters between the two families and no one wanted outsiders to know.

They must avoid it.

"Xiao Shui, I'll go to the tax bureau to check. I don't know when I can get the tax license."

"Sir, I have a bunch of things to deal with in the industrial park, so I'll leave first."

Ye Tianshui continued to dial the number and nodded: "Go ahead, I'll contact you tomorrow."

The call was finally connected, and when he said "Hello, who is this?", Ye Tianshui felt that his brother-in-law was in a bad mood.

Could it be that he and Xia Yingying have already met? "Brother Zijian, have you been on the phone just now?"

Such situations are rare, he just asked casually. Just as he was about to tell him about Xia Yingying, he found that Xia Zijian was not in good condition.

What's going on? I heard that in the past few days, the Public Security Bureau has been running to the grassroots level for a case.

He went to the countryside again today. Did he encounter any difficulties?

Ye Tianshui was thinking hard.

"Brother Zijian, are you free now? If it's convenient, please come to the hotel right away. I have something urgent to tell you. I'm waiting for you."

"It's Xiaoshui. What's the matter? Isn't it convenient to talk over the phone?"

Xia Zijian no longer had his usual cheerful tone, and asked in a gloomy voice.

Ye Tianshui followed up on his words and said, "Yes, Mom and Zi Lan are here, and the kids miss you too. It's okay for you to come over for dinner and leave work early, right?

Come over right away, we will be back in Beijing in a few days, let’s chat now if you have time.”

Xia Zijian was silent for a while before agreeing: "Okay, I'll be right over.

Look at what the two older children want. I, as their uncle, will buy it for them."

Ye Tianshui immediately refused: “No need to buy anything, just come here empty-handed.

What don’t we have here?”

More than ten minutes later, Xia Zijian's car arrived with the horn honking.

He got out of the car and saw Chen Jun. "Jun, do you know why my brother-in-law asked me to come here?"

Chen Jun had just come in from outside and didn't know that Ye Tianshui was calling.

"Deputy Director Xia, did the young master ask you to come? I was out on business and didn't know.

We are going back to the capital soon, and the master probably wants you to come over and spend some time with him these days."

The two of them went up the elevator together, "Sir, I'm back."

Chen Jun was walking behind, but the voice arrived first.

"Xiao Shui, I'm here. I happened to meet Jun, so we came up together.

Where are the two children? Why aren't any of them here? Are they with my mom and little sister?"

Ye Tianshui: "Yes, they are in the next room."

Xia Zijian looked around and saw that Ye Tianshui was the only one in the room. He stood at the door for a while before stepping into the room.

"Xiao Shui, do you have something to say to me?"

Seeing that both of them had sweat stains on their bodies, Ye Tianshui waved his hand and said, "Go take a shower first. I have something to say when you come out."
