Chapter 120 Personally Verified Ning Weidong was also shocked when he received the call. He didn't expect this situation. Logically, the struggle at this level is far from a life-and-death situation. These cases that can involve human lives are usually at the two ends, or they are extremely high, or some unlucky people are caught in the middle and lose their lives inexplicably. There are also some at the bottom, like Xu Jinshan. These people are at a low level and have not really entered the physical body. They do not follow the rules, and their opponents also do not follow the rules, so they are more likely to get into trouble. Logically speaking, in Wang Kaifeng's case, he would only be imprisoned for two years at most, where he would shoulder the responsibilities and forget the things he should forget, and then find an opportunity to be released. He would not die at all. According to Zhang Dajun's report, Wang Kaifeng's sudden health problems were obviously abnormal. Ning Weidong would definitely not believe that there was no one behind the scenes. Ning Weidong couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After about half a minute, he said, "Lao Zhang, it seems we have touched a hot potato!" Zhang Dajun smiled bitterly. He was lucky this time as Wang Kaifeng was not dead.
Otherwise, a huge black pot will fall on your head. Ning Weidong continued: "Hurry up and hand the person over according to the procedure." Zhang Dajun breathed a sigh of relief. He was now afraid that Ning Weidong had other ideas and insisted on holding Wang Kaifeng captive, which would be really fatal. Seeing that Ning Weidong had no such intention, he was finally able to get rid of this bomb that could explode at any time. Immediately said: "I understand, I will do it now~" Ning Weidong hung up the phone and couldn't help but think. Wang Kaifeng's incident gave him a wake-up call. It seems that there must be some unknown facts hidden about Wang Kaifeng, and this situation is quite important to some people. They may even kill him for safety. "Wang Kaifeng~Wang Guoqiang~" Ning Weidong kept repeating these two names, knowing that he could definitely dig deeper into these two people. It is very likely that a "big melon" will be implicated in this. However, Ning Weidong did not want to continue. He had lived for decades before he traveled through time, and had worked in government agencies and enterprises. He knew best how important a sense of propriety was. To what extent can something be done and to what extent should it be done. If you can't grasp it, some things are better off not doing them. Just like the case of Wang Kaifeng, even if any clues were discovered, they would pretend to be deaf and dumb. If we really dig deeper, it will not do Ning Weidong any good, but will put him in a more difficult situation. The best way is to shift the blame to Wang Kaifeng. As for what happens next, whether Wang Kaifeng is dead or alive, it is none of Ning Weidong’s business. ……
That night, Ning Weidong went home after get off work. I spoke to Ning Weidong on the phone during the day, and Zhang Dajun had already taken action. According to the procedures, Wang Kaifeng was quickly handed over. Ning Weidong returned home and just as he was pushing his bicycle into the front yard of the compound, he ran into a man in his thirties. When he saw Ning Weidong, the man immediately put on an apologetic smile and called out "Chief Ning". Ning Weidong smiled and nodded: "Lao Zhang, you just got off work~" This guy also works at the Red Star Factory and is a worker in the second workshop. Originally, relying on the fact that he was a state-owned worker, he did not take the young man Ning Weidong seriously at all. Unexpectedly, the Ning family now has two section chiefs. Not to mention in the courtyard, there is no other house like it in the entire alley. After saying hello, Lao Zhang stepped aside and let Ning Weidong pass first. Ning Weidong was not polite and greeted Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu again. His address and attitude were a little more respectful than usual. After finishing the work, he was about to turn to the east wing, but was stopped by Uncle Lu, who seemed to be unable to speak. Ning Weidong said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, what can I do for you?" Uncle Lu sighed and said, "Hey~ Isn't this the Wang family across the street..." and then he pointed at Wang Kai's family across the street. It was dark in the room over there. Ever since Wang Kai went out with a kitchen knife last time, although he didn't chop anyone in the street, it had a bad impact and he was caught on the spot. It has been five or six days and he still hasn't been released. Ning Weidong was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, especially with Wang Kai. Although he has a good heart, he is a fool. We must keep our distance from such people. Being confused means not understanding things, being unable to control oneself when one is hot-headed, and not considering the consequences at all. Just like last time, when I heard that Shi Xiaonan was walking with a man, I got hot-headed and went out with a kitchen knife. It turned out that there were four people, not just two people walking on the street. Ning Weidong said: "Uncle Lu, you are too kind to me. I am a deputy section chief and I only have some face in the factory. Who do people recognize me outside~" Uncle Lu's mouth twitched, feeling a little embarrassed. He was helpless. Wang Kai's mother cried and wailed every day, and as a former grandfather, he felt ashamed that such a thing had happened in the hospital. Aunt Lu said bluntly: "Weidong, I heard that you are very familiar with a police officer named Zhang in the police station. Can you ask him to ask?" Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Uncle Lu and his wife were so well-informed. But on second thought, it's not surprising. Uncle Lu has been the head of the courtyard for more than 20 years and has a good relationship with the street and neighborhood committees.
The last time Bai Fengyu was sent to work at the neighborhood committee, it was through Zhang Dajun's connections that this was done. This is no secret. Ning Weidong said, "Aunt Lu, we have been neighbors for more than ten years. It will be no problem for you to help find out, but... Wang Kai's behavior this time is not a light matter..." Uncle Lu said quickly: "I understand, I understand. Weidong, don't be embarrassed. If it doesn't work, don't force it." Ning Weidong responded, "Then wait until tomorrow to go to work. Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, I'm going home first." Seeing Ning Weidong entering the Moon Gate, Aunt Lu couldn't help but glare at Uncle Lu and whispered, "Old man, why didn't you strike while the iron was hot just now~ The Ning family kid is quite capable, as long as he is willing to work hard..." But before she could finish, Uncle Lu glared at her and said, "What are you yelling about! Go home!" Then he pulled Aunt Lu back into the house and said, "Help me? Why should I help? What kind of relationship do I have with Wang Kai? Are they related to me? Besides, do we have the final say on how to deal with this matter? Ning Weidong reminded me just now that the nature of this incident is not light. It can't be solved by just asking for help..." Aunt Lu was not stupid. She reacted and whispered, "You mean, we have to pay tribute?" Uncle Lu curled his lips and said, "What do you think? Are you going to pay for this?" Aunt Lu shrank her neck and shook her head quickly. Uncle Lu said, "Of course~ Anyway, we helped to ask." Aunt Lu nodded and said, "Yes, then let's talk to Old Wang and Xiaonan tomorrow and see what they think." After saying this, he sighed: "Tell me, you have a good life, why bother to do so much~ Now that people are in jail, we are all dumbfounded." Uncle Lu didn't like to hear it: "What are you talking about! Was it Shi Xiaonan who did it? Wasn't it Wang Kai who asked for his own death? He drank two ounces of cat urine and didn't know north from south. He cried and howled and regretted it when he got in. You just wait and see, even if he is released this time, he may not know what will happen to his job~" Aunt Lu took a deep breath and said, "Can he be fired?" Uncle Lu said, "What do you think? If we really can't get him out, and he has a criminal record at the police station, do you think the factory would know about it?" Aunt Lu clicked her tongue and shook her head, saying, "What a sin! If I lose my job, what will I do in the future?" …… Ning Weidong returned to the courtyard and parked his bicycle. Ning Weiguo had already returned from get off work. Just then, a "sizzling" sound was heard from the room. I didn't know what dish was being fried, but the onions, ginger and garlic were frying in the pan. Ning Weidong trotted up the stairs and asked with a smile, "What are you eating today? It smells so good." Wang Yuzhen was not in the room. Ning Weiguo, wearing an apron, poked his head out of the small kitchen and said, "Weidong is back~ He's frying shredded potatoes~" Ning Weidong hung up his coat, stretched his neck to look into the inner room, and asked, "Brother, where is my sister-in-law?" Ning Weiguo said: "There is an event at their school today, so we have to go later." Ning Weidong said "Oh" and then mentioned that Wang Kaifeng almost died at the hands of Zhang Dajun during the day. Ning Weiguo reacted very quickly. He frowned while holding the spatula and said, "Tsk~ Something's going on here! Wang Kaifeng can't stay. You have to get rid of him quickly." Ning Weidong nodded secretly. No wonder he was valued by the Wang family. Ning Weiguo was indeed very sensitive to Zhengzhi. Without even thinking about it, I instinctively came up with the correct answer. Ning Weidong said: "I have already told Zhang Dajun that I will hand over the theft case to the district this afternoon."
Ning Weiguo nodded and smiled, very satisfied with Ning Weidong's response. Not that it's that difficult. In fact, it is not difficult to make the right judgment in the face of this situation. Most people who can become small leaders in government agencies can taste the trick. The hard part is being fast! Judgment and decision must be made at the first time. There are quite a few people who, when talking about something, would say "I saw it a long time ago" or "I said it a long time ago", which can't be considered as hindsight. The problem is that they have judgment but no decision-making. We understand this and we understand that, but we just haven’t taken any action. The reason why Ning Weiguo was satisfied this time was that Ning Weidong not only made a judgment in a short period of time, but more importantly, made a decision, instead of hesitating, dragging his feet and wasting time. After a while, Ning Weiguo came out of the kitchen carrying fried shredded potatoes and shouted to the inner room: "Xiao Lei, eat~" Ning Lei responded and came out from the inner room. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems like the winter vacation is over. Since returning to school, the light in Ning Lei’s eyes seems to have dimmed. "Third Uncle~" Ning Lei went to the washbasin rack to wash his hands and called out listlessly. Ning Weidong smiled secretly in his heart, thinking whether he should go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some exercise books on Sunday. It was because this naughty kid called him "Third Uncle" in a not loud enough way. If Ning Lei knew, he would have learned a new idiom - if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext! After washing his hands and coming back, Ning Weiguo served the rice directly. Ning Weidong asked, "Did the kitchen leave some food for my sister-in-law?" Ning Weiguo said: "No, they called this afternoon and said that there will be a dinner party at school after their activities." Ning Weidong suddenly realized that he didn't need to worry about Wang Yuzhen being hungry. The two brothers sat at the table, eating while Ning Weiguo asked, "By the way, Weidong, how are you getting along with the girl from the Zhao family?" Ning Lei pricked up his ears and listened nearby. Ning Weidong said: "Very good." Ning Weiguo said: "Is it really good? Don't just report the good news and not the bad news." Ning Weidong raised his head and smiled: "Brother, what are you thinking about? What can she do to me? I have nothing to report but good news." Ning Weiguo was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "From what you said, you seem to be quite satisfied with her?" Ning Weidong said with a smile: "No, brother, what kind of family do we come from? Are you not satisfied with this? With their background, looks, and figure... no matter how you think about it, they are the ones who pick on us." Ning Weiguo raised his eyebrows, realizing that the rumors about Zhao Ruyu had no effect on Ning Weidong. He smiled and said, "As long as you think it's good. By the way, your sister-in-law said that she would bring him back someday to meet him and introduce him to the locals." Ning Weidong responded: "Okay, let's do it this Sunday." Ning Weiguo was slightly surprised: "Don't you need to discuss it with them first?"
Ning Weidong pouted and said, "What is there to discuss? What could be more important than coming to our house?" Ning Weiguo suspected very much that there was some veiled meaning in his words, seeing his character, but he had no evidence. When Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen had just met, Ning's mother was still alive and asked Ning Weiguo to bring the girl home to see her. Ning Weiguo said at the time that he would discuss it with someone. "Oh, Weidong, I have to remind you that although you won this time, you must remember that the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. You have already attracted some people's attention. You must bide your time. You are only twenty-one. You must be able to hold your ground. Only then can you go a long way and walk steadily in the future." Ning Weidong understood what he meant. This was a warning for him not to get carried away. Nodding, he said, "Brother, don't worry, I understand. At my age now, being a deputy section chief is the end of the road. From now on, I will focus on studying and finish the correspondence course of technical secondary school first..." Ning Weiguo hummed, but felt a little aggrieved. I had prepared a lot of profound truths and wanted to preach them, but none of them were used! A while ago, this younger brother suddenly became enlightened. Overnight, his thoughts became clear and his mind became lucid. He could see many things more clearly than he did. Ning Weiguo said: "You are on the right track. In the next few years, academic qualifications will become more and more important. Technical secondary school is just the first step. It is better to get a junior college, which will be safer." Ning Weidong nodded, but looked at Ning Lei with some evil taste. The naughty kid who was eating quietly suddenly felt as if something was thorning his back. He raised his head abruptly and met Ning Weidong's gaze. A thought suddenly popped up in his mind: his third uncle was not holding his fart well. Ning Weidong said: "Brother, speaking of this, Xiaolei has to study hard. When he grows up, college may not be enough." Ning Lei quickly lowered his head to reduce his presence. Ning Weiguo glanced at him and said, "It really needs to be managed properly." After finishing his meal, Ning Lei hurried into the inner room to continue doing his homework. After Ning Weiguo and Ning Weidong finished cleaning up, they made a pot of tea and the two brothers sat down to talk. Ning Weidong talked about the situation in the factory, and Ning Weiguo talked about the problems he encountered in the Machinery Bureau... Before I knew it, I had finished a pot of tea. I heard the sound of a bicycle outside, and then Wang Yuzhen came in from outside, with snowflakes on the shoulders of her tweed coat. Ning Weidong and Ning Weiguo both stood up and asked in surprise: "It's snowing?" Wang Yuzhen didn't act pretentiously. She used her gloves to brush off the thin layer of snow on her shoulders and said calmly, "It just snowed~" He took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and looked into the inner room: "Is Xiaolei doing his homework?" Ning Lei heard the noise and shouted from inside: "Mom, I'll finish writing soon!" Wang Yuzhen smiled and went to the kitchen to wash her hands. The first thing she asked was the same question Ning Weiguo had asked just now: "Weidong, how is your relationship with Zhao Ruyu going?" Ning Weidong glanced at Ning Weiguo and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you and my brother are really a couple." Wang Yuzhen sat down and asked, "He asked that just now, too?" Ning Weidong nodded and said, "We are getting along pretty well, and there will be no problem living together."
Wang Yuzhen was slightly surprised. Considering Zhao Ruyu and Ning Weidong's looks and height, there would definitely be no problem for them at the beginning. But with Zhao Ruyu's bad temper, there would definitely be problems over time. I didn’t expect Ning Weidong to say it was fine. Could it be that Zhao Ruyu has changed his temper? Wang Yuzhen asked curiously, "In all this time, have you two never had any conflicts?" Ning Weidong said: "What's the point of arguing? Ruyi is quite gentle." "Gentle?" Wang Yuzhen and Ning Weiguo looked at each other, suspecting that they were not talking about the same person as Ning Weidong. This is the first time I heard that Zhao Ruyu can be associated with gentleness. But little did he know that Ning Weidong was not lying. He had just confirmed in the office during the day that Zhao Ruyu's body was indeed warm and gentle. "Warm" means warm, and "gentle" means tender. He verified it with his own hands. Although Wang Yuzhen felt something was not right, she did not ask any further questions. As long as the two of them think it’s a good thing, it’s fine. If other people get involved, it will only make things worse. He simply changed the subject and said, "By the way, Weidong, a section chief in your brother's unit is being transferred, so he just happened to have a house available..." Ning Weidong knew that Ning Weiguo had mentioned it during dinner a few days ago. Wang Yuzhen continued, "It's settled. The house will be available before May Day. Weiguo and I will move over there with Xiaolei, and we'll vacate this place and clean it up for your wedding." Ning Weidong was surprised and said, "So fast! Sister-in-law, isn't it too hasty? Ruyi and I didn't get married so quickly." Wang Yuzhen said, "It's better to prepare in advance than to be blind when the time comes. Marriage is a big deal. No matter what, the house must be provided by our family. We are marrying a daughter-in-law, not marrying into the Zhao family." Ning Weidong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he felt touched that Wang Yuzhen cared about this and really cared about him. He did not refuse anymore. Besides, if Ning Weiguo and his family of three moved into the building, the conditions would definitely be better than here, and the distance was not too far. Then the three of them talked about something else, and Ning Weidong returned to the earthquake shelter. Ning Weiguo and his wife were left. Wang Yuzhen was still a little unconvinced and asked, "Weiguo, you said Weidong and Zhao Ruyi...are they really attracted to each other?" Ning Weiguo said: "How would I know? From what Weidong said, it should be pretty good. There is no need for him to lie to us." Wang Yuzhen thought about it and nodded, "That's right. You said, there is always something that can defeat something else." …… On the other side, Ning Weidong returned to the house and looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock. Just as I was about to make the bed, there were two knocks on the door. Ning Weidong was surprised, this noise was definitely not from Ning Lei. That naughty kid Ning Lei didn't even know how to knock on the door, he would definitely just barge in. Could it be Bai Fengyu, who couldn't stand the loneliness and wanted to have a fast food meal? Just as Ning Weidong had this thought, a timid female voice came from outside: "Weidong~Brother? Are you in the room?" Ning Weidong was stunned. The person who spoke was Shi Xiaonan. Why was she here?
Ning Weidong said "uh" and immediately said: "In the house~" Shi Xiaonan opened the door and came in with an embarrassed and awkward expression on her face. When she saw Ning Weidong, she forced a smile. Ning Weidong guessed that she came here suddenly because of Wang Kai's matter. Although they have broken up, Shi Xiaonan and Wang Kai have not divorced yet, so there are some things she cannot avoid even if she wants to. Plus, I just came back and met Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, so it wasn't difficult to guess what she meant. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Sister Shi, there is no place to stay in the house." Shi Xiaonan came in and felt a little embarrassed. Besides the fact that she came to ask for help, Ning Weidong's room was too small. Without the bed and stove, it was difficult to turn around. She and a grown man were alone in such a small space, which made her feel uncomfortable psychologically. Shi Xiaonan closed the door, took two steps inside, and was almost right next to Ning Weidong. Ning Weidong moved a step to the other side of the bed: "Sister Shi, sit down and talk if you have anything to say." Shi Xiaonan responded and sat down on the edge of the bed. Due to limited housing conditions in this era, every family had a bed or a kang when they entered the house, so it was common to talk while sitting on the bed. Shi Xiaonan lowered his head, but was unable to open his mouth. Ning Weidong waited for a few seconds, then took the initiative to ask: "Sister Shi, is this about Wang Kai's matter?" Shi Xiaonan smiled awkwardly. She felt quite complicated when she mentioned Wang Kai. When they got married, they had their sweet days. She never thought that she and Wang Kai would end up like this today. He was asking for help in the first place, and Ning Weidong took the initiative to tell her the truth. She couldn't pretend to be ignorant, so she nodded and said, "Weidong... not Chief Ning..." Ning Weidong interrupted, "Sister Shi, what are you talking about? We are old neighbors. If you call me like that, if it gets out, won't people poke my spine~" Shi Xiaonan choked and said quickly, "That's not what I meant." Ning Weidong said: "You can just call me Weidong." Shi Xiaonan nodded: "Weidong, I'm not afraid of being laughed at. Anyway, everything about what happened between me and Wang Kai is known inside and out..." Ning Weidong listened to her muttering and thought it was okay, so he didn't urge her. To be honest, Shi Xiaonan is not only beautiful, but also has a nice voice. Even if he spoke normally and didn't control his singing voice, there was still a sense of charm. At the end, Shi Xiaonan sighed and said, "After all, a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. I don't care what he thinks of me, but now he is..." At this point, Shi Xiaonan leaned forward and said, "Weidong, I know you have a wide network of contacts. Can you...can you find a way to get him out of the police station?" Ning Weidong had already guessed her intention, and when he heard this, he realized it was true. Shi Xiaonan continued: "I know this matter is not easy to handle, and I certainly can't make it difficult for you..." (End of this chapter)
