This matter came to an end here. Xiao Zhiwen was finally dismissed from public office and probation for the party. He was released from Qincheng Prison. Xiao Kedi burst into tears after learning the news. When he called Duan Zetao, his voice was trembling, "Xiao Tao, thanks to you this time, otherwise Xiaowen's life would be completely ruined!"
On the day Xiao Zhiwen was released from prison, Duan Zetao took leave and went back to the capital to accompany Xiao Kedi and a family member to Qincheng Prison to pick him up. When Xiao Zhiwen came out, he was still as unshaven and down-and-out as he blocked the sunlight with his hands, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable with leaving the iron window. Seeing his family waiting outside, he hesitated for a moment, walked over slowly, and called Xiao Kedi with some shrunk, "Dad!".
Xiao Kedi has always been very strict with his children, and Xiao Zhiwen's incompetence made him very angry. However, when he saw his son's appearance, he couldn't bear to scold him anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Go home first, let's talk about it if you have something to do!" Xiao Min, who was standing beside him, also smoothed out: "Xiaowen, it's good to come out, it's good to come out, everything will go smoothly in the future..."
The group returned to the Xiao family courtyard in a mighty manner. Xiao Min also asked the nanny to prepare grapefruit leaves. Xiao Zhiwen took a shower first, changed into clean clothes, shaved his beard, and finally became a little vibrant in his eyes. He was called to the lobby by Xiao Kedi to kowtow in front of the portrait of Mr. Xiao.
Looking at the kind smile on Mr. Xiao’s portrait, thinking that Mr. Xiao was indirectly angry to death, and he could not send him off when he died. Xiao Zhiwen couldn’t help but feel sad and burst into tears, with deep repentance in his crying.
Xiao Zhiwen kowtowed hard in front of the portrait of Mr. Xiao, and his scalp was bleeding. Seeing that his son finally knew how to confess, Xiao Kedi couldn't bear to scold him. He sighed and said, "Zhiwen, get up. Your grandfather knows that you can repent, and he won't blame you. Thank you for yourselves this time thanks to Zetao. You have to thank him..."
Xiao Min, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and pulled Xiao Zhiwen up and continued, "Yes, thanks to Zetao's support now, otherwise we wouldn't know what it would be bullied by those guys who are looking down on others! When Zetao enters the central government, I think who dares to underestimate our Xiao family..."
Xiao Zhiwen looked at Duan Zetao with a complicated expression. Once upon a time, he regarded Duan Zetao as his biggest opponent for the successor of the Xiao family. Now he cannot rely on Duan Zetao to escape from prison. Naturally, he felt very uncomfortable, but he also knew that he had been left behind by Duan Zetao far away. In the future, he might have to use Duan Zetao's power to force himself to walk to Duan Zetao with a smile and said with a sarcastic look on his face: "Brother Tao, thank you this time..."
Duan Zetao waved his hand quickly and said, "Zhiwen, you will be dissatisfied with this. The family will not speak two families. As long as we are united, no one dares to bully our Xiao family!".
In the evening, the Xiao family held a grand family dinner to celebrate Xiao Zhiwen's safe return home. After this great change, the Xiao family united a lot. The third generation of the Xiao family toasted Duan Zetao one after another. Duan Zetao also refused, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Xiao Kodi, Xiao Min and other elders also smiled with relief when they finally had a "home".
The family dinner was over, and Duan Zetao was about to go back to his room, but Xiao Zhiwen followed him and hesitated and said, "Brother Tao, how did you help me clear my guilt?! Did Chu Qianqian find it?! She... is she okay?!..."
Duan Zetao looked at Xiao Zhiwen in surprise. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhiwen was a passionate seed. Chu Qianqian caused him so much. He was still obsessed with her and told him about Chu Qianqian's situation.
When Xiao Zhiwen heard about Chu Qianqian’s experience, he suddenly became anxious and hurriedly said, “Brother Tao, I want to meet Chu Qianqian, is that okay?!”.
Duan Zetao also sympathized with Chu Qianqian, while Xiao Zhiwen was just a little arrogant and not broad-minded enough. He was not bad at all. Judging from his expression at this moment, he was deeply in love with Chu Qianqian. After this major change, he would definitely be a little listless. If he could match him and Chu Qianqian, perhaps under the inspiration of the power of love, these two people who suffered spiritual trauma could be cheered up again. It would be a beautiful thing to do that. Thinking of this, Duan Zetao nodded with a smile.
After Duan Zetao's guidance, Chu Qianqian did not blindly seek death, but her mental and physical condition was still very weak. She is still recuperating in the Xijiang Military Region Hospital. When Duan Zetao brought Xiao Zhiwen to the hospital, Chu Qianqian was basking in the sun in the small garden of the hospital accompanied by a nurse, breathing the fresh air outdoors and the warm sunshine. A smile appeared on her pale face for the first time.
Suddenly, Chu Qianqian saw Xiao Zhiwen walking over, and the smile on her face froze. Her face changed drastically. She turned around and ran away. Xiao Zhiwen hurriedly chased after her, grabbed Chu Qianqian's hand tightly, and said sincerely: "Qianqian, everything has passed. No matter what you have done to me, I will not blame you. I am sincere to you. Can you give me another chance and let us start over?!..."
Chu Qianqian struggled hard for a few times, but without breaking free, she stopped struggling and didn't say anything, and started crying. Xiao Zhiwen grabbed her hand tightly and comforted her softly.
There is a chance! Maybe Chu Qianqian couldn't accept Xiao Zhiwen for a while, but she didn't resolutely break free from Xiao Zhiwen's hand and had a good start. With the seeds of love, they will sprout one day. This is a good start for her and Xiao Zhiwen. Duan Zetao looked at the two of them from afar, smiled on his face, shook his head, and quietly turned around and left. There were still many headaches waiting for him to deal with.
Sun Xianglong said that Duan Zetao would let go of the acquisition of Xijiang Electronics Group first, and the case was officially handed over to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation, but Duan Zetao was not so easy to deal with. Although he could not uproot An Xuri and others, he would definitely have to maximize the results and constantly put pressure on Long Yutian through the Standing Committee.
In the end, Long Yutian had to throw out two scapegoats, Ma Zhanbo and Wang Demao. As the executive vice mayor in charge of economy, Ma Zhanbo was responsible for the acquisition of Xijiang Electronics Group and was removed from his position as executive vice mayor. Wang Demao was demoted and transferred to a neighboring city to serve as political commissar of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and no longer served as member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. An Xuri, as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the top leader of Donghu City, also had to bear leadership responsibility and was sentenced to a party warning...
