Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

The guards who arrived sent some of their men to chase Ma Shen, and the rest escorted Cheng Hao and Director Han to the Discipline Inspection Commission building.

After entering the Discipline Inspection Commission building, meeting his direct supervisor, and submitting the evidence, Director Han finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What happened today was too sudden and too critical. Director Han needs to calm down.

Next, the two were taken to the reception room to rest for a while.

This piece of evidence involves many people, and the matter is of great importance. The Discipline Inspection Commission must hold a meeting to discuss it seriously.

Later, more leaders will come to ask Cheng Hao and others for details.

After a few cups of tea, the door of the reception room opened, and a middle-aged man with graying temples, energetic and kind face strode in with several clerks.

When Director Han saw the person coming, he quickly stood up and greeted, "Secretary Li, why are you here?"

"Sit down, everyone, sit down."

Secretary Li signaled Cheng Hao and the other two not to be polite. After they sat down, he smiled and said, "I came to see you two great contributors. The materials you submitted are very valuable. The Discipline Inspection Commission has sent people to search along the clues. It won't take long to catch those corrupt officials.

You have worked hard along the way."

"Secretary Li, this time it was mainly thanks to Director Cheng. If it weren't for Director Cheng's wit and courage, we wouldn't be able to bring back the evidence."

Director Han did not take credit for himself, but praised Cheng Hao first.

“Director Han also deserves credit.

Without him, this wouldn’t have been possible.”

The sedan chair is carried by people. Cheng Hao is not an ignorant young man. As a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, he should give Director Han some face.

"Okay, you two are both heroes, so stop being so modest."

Secretary Li set the tone and continued, "I heard that you encountered a group of disguised gangsters when you returned to the Discipline Inspection Building. I want to learn more about the situation from you."

Cheng Hao and his party were attacked twice on their way back. The suburban killers were a group of desperate criminals who escaped the purge, so there was no need to mention them. The ones who really deserved attention were Ma Shen's group.

They were equipped with appropriate uniforms and credentials, and dared to take action near the Discipline Inspection Building. This is definitely not something that could be planned by a group of guerrillas. There must be a huge force behind them.

Cheng Hao and Director Han looked at each other and told each other the whole process of their encounter with Ma Shen.

Secretary Li listened quietly without saying a word the whole time, but the expression on his face became increasingly solemn and silent, like the calm before a storm.

"I already know what happened. We will arrange for someone to handle the follow-up matters. If there is nothing else, you can go back and rest first."

After Cheng Hao and the others finished speaking, Secretary Li nodded and signaled that they could leave.

After working so hard for so long, it’s getting late and it’s time to go to bed.

Director Han opened his mouth and wanted to ask more questions, but Cheng Hao stopped him with a look.

The two of them took their leave, walked out of the reception room together, and headed outside side by side.

"Director Cheng, Ma Shen's group is really weird. They..."

When they got outside and there was no one around, Director Han couldn't help but tell Cheng Hao about his doubts.

After working in the discipline inspection for several years, it is impossible for Director Han to not be able to distinguish even one certificate. Or maybe the certificates forged by Ma Shen and his team were too realistic, and they were so realistic that they could be mistaken for the real thing. It was incredible that a group of gangsters could make such a thing.

"Director Han, let's just do our part.

The superiors have their own considerations, so let others worry about some things."

Cheng Hao certainly had his doubts, but he keenly sensed that the matter was more complicated than he had imagined, so he did not dare to get involved easily.

"I know, it's just..."

Director Han was still somewhat unwilling to give up. He left the table halfway through the meal, feeling as if he had not yet had enough.

"Director Han, you are older than me and have been a cadre longer than me. You should understand better that one person cannot do everything. You have to leave some room for others, otherwise they will have opinions."

Not to mention that the matter is of great importance and their rank is too low to get involved, even if they have already made great contributions, they should stop making trouble. If they continue to make trouble, they will not only take advantage of other people's interests, but also easily cause trouble, which is not worth the loss.

"Director Cheng is right. I was too anxious."

It’s not that Director Han didn’t understand, but he wanted to go further and make a contribution. In addition, the incident happened in his department, so he couldn’t help but have strange thoughts.

Now, after being gently touched by Cheng Hao, he came to his senses instantly.

"I've been busy for so long that I haven't even had dinner. Director Han, are you coming with me?"

Cheng Hao had just been transferred to a local position and his network was shallow. It was time to expand his network. He could not count on Director Han to help him at a critical moment, but at least he could have another channel of information to share what he had, so as to avoid being blind.

"Just now, thanks to Director Cheng's power, I was able to return safely. I was just worried that I wouldn't have the chance to thank you."

The two of them came to the street, found a small restaurant, ordered a few side dishes and a bottle of Fenjiu, and chatted while eating.

The drinking table is undoubtedly an occasion for quickly enhancing friendship. At the beginning, the two of them addressed each other by their titles, which seemed a little restrained. Later, when they got drunk, they started calling each other Brother Han and Brother Cheng and became brothers.

The two of them drank to their heart's content and ordered a few more bottles of wine. They continued drinking until Director Han could hardly walk.

Cheng Hao's feet were weak, but luckily he was still conscious. He first helped Director Han back to the Discipline Inspection Commission dormitory to rest, and then went home to the Xining Sub-district Office.

……

Under the influence of alcohol, Cheng Hao slept soundly and did not wake up until the sun rose completely.

Shaking his head and becoming a little more awake, Cheng Hao saw that it was getting late, so he didn't bother to wash up. He just changed his clothes and put on his shoes, then left the dormitory and went to the office building.

Entering the hall and looking at the clock on the wall, Cheng Hao straightened his collar, smoothed his messy hair, and strode in. He was not late yet.

The staff of the street office along the way all greeted Cheng Hao, and Qin Min even went up to him and asked with concern: "Director Cheng, are you okay? When you left with Director Han yesterday, everyone was worried about you."

The ones who are really worried about Cheng Hao are the newly converted employees like Qin Min. They haven't yet established themselves and are afraid that if Cheng Hao falls, they will be brought down as well.

"It's just a small matter, don't worry. Just do your job well, and it will be fine no matter who is the director."

Cheng Hao consoled him and then asked, "How is the street office going after I left? Is everything going well?"

Cheng Hao has been involved in the case of Liu Sanye and his gang these past two days. He has been running around outside and has been unable to take care of his main job. He has to go back and clean up the mess quickly.

“Work is going well.

You made all the arrangements early in the morning, and nothing serious happened."

Unless there is any important notice from above, most of the daily work is handled by the lower-level staff of the street office. Cheng Hao is mainly responsible for commanding and coordinating the work of various departments.

Once the tasks are clearly arranged, daily work can naturally proceed in an orderly manner.

"It's just...it's just that after you left, Director Luo seemed a little..."

Tan Min lowered his voice, considered his words, and said, "It's a bit negative."
