Chapter 47 [An Lao’s Investigation] (Part 1)

Chu Yanran got into the car and immediately called: "Grandpa! Something happened in Zhangyang's village. I have to rush back to deal with it overnight. I'll send him back now."

Zhang Yang looked at Chu Yanran with laughter and tears. He understood that Chu Yanran must be inconsistent with him. The last person named Sun would probably inform her father about her situation, so Chu Yanran chose to leave directly.

Zhang Yang lay bored on the seat: "I said what your dad does? As for fear of being like this?"

Chu Yanran pursed her lips, and an indescribable feeling of sadness was covered in her beautiful eyes: "It's not fear, it's hatred!"

Zhang Yang didn't have the kind of hobby to inquire about other people's privacy and whispered: "Do you really want to rush back overnight?"

Chu Yanran nodded and said, "I don't want to stay in Jing'an for a moment. This place makes me feel depressed and depressed."

Zhang Yang yawned: "Then I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, yes! I will go to bed first, go wherever you want to take me, and declare in advance that I have no wealth. If you really want to rob me, I will force myself to obey."

Song Huaiming, secretary of Jing'an Municipal Party Committee, couldn't sleep this night and hung up Sun Guoping's phone. He hesitated for a long time before he picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers, put it down again, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, leaned on the chair with a lonely expression. After smoking the cigarette, he finally plucked up the courage. Just as he was about to pick up the phone, the phone rang first.

Song Huaiming picked up the phone, and before he could speak, Chu Zhennan's roaring voice came from the other end of the phone: "Song Huaiming, I warned you not to get close to Yanran anymore. Do you think it was not hurt enough to her? She finally came to see me, and you were going to force her away again!"

"dad……"

"I am not your father, I am Yanran's grandfather, I am Jingzhi's father, but I am not your father. Our Chu family has nothing to do with your surname Song!"

"Dad, Jingzhi's death was an accident..."

"Song Huaiming, remember that no matter how old you are, no matter what public image you have, one thing you can never change. You are the murderer of my daughter!" After Chu Zhennan said that, he hung up the phone.

Song Huaiming held the phone in a daze and was stunned for five minutes before slowly putting it down. He reached out to touch the cigarette, and the door was gently knocked. His wife, Liu Yuying, principal of Jing'an No. 1 Middle School, walked in, holding the lotus seed soup that had just been cooked for him. She put the lotus seed soup on the table, came behind Song Huaiming and gently massaged his shoulders, and said softly: "Is the old man calling again to scold you?"

Song Huaiming smiled bitterly and patted the back of her hand, whispering: "How do you know?"

"How could you be so distressed if it weren't for his business?"

Song Huaiming sighed and said, "It's been ten years, and I haven't felt good for the past ten years. I have recalled the scene countless times. If Jingzhi had not participated in the emergency medical team when the earthquake occurred, if I could care more about her, if..." Song Huaiming closed his eyes tightly and felt the hot flashes in his eyes.

Liu Yuying gently hugged his body from behind, and her pretty face pressed against his face: "Huaiming, that's an accident, don't blame yourself!"

Song Huaiming held his wife's soft little hand: "The one I can't rest assured about is Yanran!"

Liu Yuying whispered: "I believe one day she will understand your painstaking efforts..."

The car suddenly turned and woke Zhang Yang up from his dream. When Chu Yanran was about to collide with the truck opposite, she turned and avoided it. Even so, cold sweat broke out on her back.

She parked the jeep by the road and suddenly lay on the steering wheel and sobbed quietly.

Zhang Yang looked at her with sympathy, hesitated for a while, but still reached out and patted her shoulder: "If you want to cry, cry loudly! I don't mind lending you a shoulder!"

Chu Yanran leaned her head against his shoulder and cried loudly. She seemed to be unable to completely vent her sadness and depression. Her fists hit Zhang Yang's chest one after another. Director Xiao Zhang silently endured it with a bitter face. What the hell is, he followed from all the way to be a human-shaped sandbag for her.

Chu Yanran's tears quickly wet Zhang Yang's clothes. Zhang Yang whispered to her: "Forget tears, don't wipe your snot on it!"

Chu Yanran couldn't help laughing and punched him hard in the chest: "You're just running nose!"

Zhang Yang whispered: "I think we shouldn't go to the night road. You're in a daze. If something happens, that's so troublesome." He pointed to the river beach in the distance: "Why don't we drive over and live together in the car for another night?"

Chu Yanran sniffed, and nodded obediently, drove the car to the empty river beach. The two worked together to remove the ceiling, put the seats on the flat, and lay in the car to watch the stars twinkling in the sky. The night wind brought the cheerful sound of the river water flowing, and the starlight shone on them without any obstruction. They were so truly integrated into nature that Chu Yanran felt much more relaxed.

Zhang Yang counted the stars silently. Although this guy was heartless on weekdays, he would not do anything to sprinkle salt on his wounds when Chu Yanran was in a low mood.

Chu Yanran whispered: "My mother passed away when I was a child. If it weren't for my father's suggestion, she wouldn't have left me to join the emergency medical team, nor would there have been that accident..."

Zhang Yang didn't say anything, turned around and looked at Chu Yanran quietly.

"When the aftershock came, the medical team had already begun to move, but my father asked her to stay until the end to take care of the wounded..." The crystal tears slowly slid down Chu Yanran's pretty face. Zhang Yang stretched out his big hand to wipe away the tears from her face. Chu Yanran grabbed Zhang Yang's arm and pillowed under his head: "He did this because he was the county magistrate. He wanted to set an example. He wanted to establish a selfless image in front of others. Can't you have family affection when you are an official? Do you have to sacrifice the lives of your relatives? What qualifications do a man who can't even protect people around you have to be an official..."

Zhang Yang looked at Chu Yanran with pity. Although he did not understand the true meaning of being an official, he asked himself that he could not do such selfless behavior.

Chu Yanran sat up, took out a tissue to wipe away the tears on her face, and exhaled, "I feel much better when I say it out. To be honest, I don't hate him, but I don't want to see him, it's good for me and him!"

Zhang Yang also sat up and touched Chu Yanran with his shoulders: "Some things have happened, we have to face reality and we can't live our lives in pain."

Chu Yanran showed a faint smile: "I don't like constraints. In fact, he had arranged for me to study in the UK last year. I don't want to go, and I don't want to have any more involvement with him."

Zhang Yang sighed and patted the seat and said, "If you are in a bad mood and don't like restraint, you can eat, drink and have fun. That's because you have a backer and a foundation. Even if you are in a poor mood, you have to work honestly, otherwise you will have to go hungry. It's really angering for people to compare with others!"

Chu Yanran said: "My grandma is a Chinese American. She divorced my grandfather shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later, she went to the United States and now owns a considerable industry in the United States. Everything I have now is given to me." She glanced at Zhang Yang and said: "So don't associate me with corruption."

Zhang Yang laughed.

Chu Yanran bit her lip and said, "Now it's your turn to talk about yourself..."

The two lay in the car and chatted until late at night. At some point, they snuggled together and fell asleep quietly.

When he was at work on Monday, Zhang Daren recalled the three nights when he lived with Chu Yanran. They were so clear and silent that they did not make any deviant actions. Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh, I am really a gentleman, Liu Xiahui of the new era, why is I so pure, and why is my will so firm?

The knock on the door interrupted Zhang Yang's regret, but Wu Hongjin walked in. He came to report on the acceptance of Hongqi Primary School. Zhang Yang nodded, remembering that he had not had time to go to Hongqi Primary School to check it out recently. He went downstairs and drove a jeep to Hongqi Primary School to see what was going on after completion.

The primary school gate has also been rebuilt, with four large golden characters on it - Hongqi Primary School. These four characters were written by Mr. An Zhiyuan when he came here in 1988. The yellow walls on both sides of the primary school were painted with red paint to study hard, and the slogans that were moving upward every day.

Because the primary school has not been officially delivered for use, there is only an old man in the yard who is responsible for the door. The gate has not been installed yet, but no one comes over on weekdays. Zhang Yang did not drive in, but parked the jeep outside the school gate and walked into the campus. This time, the village spent a lot of effort to rebuild Hongqi Primary School in order to welcome An Lao's return trip, so that he could see his money spent in reality, and feel the respect the people of his hometown to him. To put it bluntly, he still wanted to make An Lao happy and let him be very compassionate to invest in Chunyang.

Zhang Yang checked the exterior wall painting and road paving situation, and thought that he and Hongqi Primary School were destined to be together. On the first day he arrived in Heishanzi Township, a fire broke out in Hongqi Primary School. This incident directly caused a violent shock to the leadership of Heishanzi Township. First, Hu Aimin stepped down because of this incident, and Li Jianmin also fell ill due to the burden of this incident. Guo Daliang's ups and downs and Yu Qiuling's quietly emerged, all of which started with the fire at Hongqi Primary School. For him, without the fire at Hongqi Primary School, there would be no outstanding political achievements now. This fire was a lucky sign for him personally, and a good opportunity to take a step forward in his career.

While Zhang Yang was thinking about it, he saw an old man in a brown jacket in front of him slowly walking out of the teaching building with his hands behind his back. Zhang Yang saw it clearly. The old man was clearly the old man he met on Qingyun Peak. He didn't expect that the old man's whereabouts were so mysterious. He ran to Heishanzi Township without saying a word. Maybe he was doing intelligence work in the past?

Thinking of the last time that he satirized An Dahushou in front of him, Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a little numb, but he couldn't ignore him when he met him. Besides, he is now the deputy director of Chunyang Investment Promotion Office. An ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law, and she will have to fight her sooner or later when dealing with An Lao. Since Hailan analyzed Zhang Yang's interests in detail, Zhang Yang was not as guilty as before. After all, he was considered to be a mixed result. Although he scolded An Dahushou, he also helped An Lao find his father's bone burial place. Compared to this, it seems that he has made more contributions.

Zhang Yang showed a sunny smile on his face and went forward and said, "Old Old Man, why didn't he notify Heishanzi?"

An Zhiyuan naturally recognized Zhang Yang, and he said happily: "Director Zhang, you really don't meet in life!" He enthusiastically stretched out his hand and shook Zhang Yang. Seeing his kind look, Zhang Yang's original concerns also reduced a lot. From the name An Lao said to him, it can be seen that An Lao already knew Zhang Yang's identity.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Old An seems to like private visits in secret. We only know that you are coming here these days. The village has even rehearsed the welcome ceremony countless times, but you just don't give us a chance to perform."

An Zhiyuan's laughter was very loud. He lowered his voice and said, "I hate others' superficial skills the most. Only in this way can I see the truest side. Otherwise, I would not have learned Director Xiao Zhang's straightforwardness and honesty last time!"

Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a little hot when he mentioned the last incident, and coughed dryly, "I usually like to talk nonsense, so don't bother with me."

An Zhiyuan said mysteriously: "Then you have to promise to keep it a secret for me. I don't want too many people to know!"

Zhang Yang nodded and pointed to the teaching building in front of him, "Are Mr. An satisfied with the reconstruction project in the village?"

An Zhiyuan sighed and said, "My original intention of donating money to build Hongqi Primary School was not only to allow these children in the mountains to have a place to study, but the power of a person is limited after all. I want to use my actions to attract the attention of local leaders to mountain education, but now it seems that they obviously do not understand what I mean."

Zhang Yang laughed in his heart. An Zhiyuan probably didn't know that because of the incident at Hongqi Primary School, many leaders had been dismissed. The Heishanzi leadership performed many tragic comedies in a short period of time. Although Old An did not want to interfere in politics, one of his calls caused an unprecedented political storm in Heishanzi Township.
