Chapter 39: News Report
Inside the Public Security Bureau, Wang Guodong was leisurely reading the day's newspapers at his desk. He had maintained the habit of reading the Youth Daily, Urban Report, and Youth Daily every day, and his secretary would place the current newspapers on his desk every morning.
Wang Guodong started with the Youth Daily, followed by the Province's Urban Report, and finally the city's Youth Daily. He mainly skimmed through major domestic and international events as well as local news, particularly focusing on inspections by leaders at various levels, including details like name arrangements, which often released political signals. The accompanying images in the newspapers featuring leaders and their entourage were also noteworthy.
Wang Guodong meticulously focused on the newspaper, feeling pleased with the current favorable situation. Suddenly, a prominent headline caught his attention. As he read on, his brows gradually furrowed.
The glaring black headline read: "Violent Evictions in Beilan County; Public Security Leaders Act as Protectors of Evil Forces."
Wang Guodong put down the newspaper, a shadow crossing his face. He picked up the black telephone on his desk and said, "Zhou, come to my office." Almost immediately after he hung up, there was a knock at the door. Wang Guodong said, "Come in!"
The door opened, and a man in his thirties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a blue shirt, and black trousers entered respectfully and said, "Director, you called for me?"
"Yes." The director nodded and pointed to the chair that Liu Xiaolong had moved earlier. "Sit down."
The young man with gold-rimmed glasses sat down; he was Zhou Guanghai, Wang Guodong's secretary. When Wang Guodong served as Director at the local level, Zhou Guanghai was his capable assistant; their cooperation was quite seamless. As the saying goes, when one person rises to power, others benefit; when Wang Guodong advanced in rank, Zhou Guanghai was also promoted to work at the county bureau.
Wang Guodong pointed at the newspaper on the table, his index finger resting on the headline. "Take a look at this."
"This is a familiar 'chronic ailment' for today's Chinese people..."
After reading the report, sweat beads formed on Zhou Guanghai's forehead and trickled down to his neck. He exclaimed in shock, "Director, this must be someone maliciously spreading rumors to tarnish our bureau's image and disrupt our normal operations. There might even be people trying to take advantage of this situation."
Wang Guodong nodded in satisfaction, sinking back into his chair and revealing his protruding belly. He waved his hand dismissively. "You handle this matter."
"Understood," Zhou Guanghai replied with a bow. Having followed Wang Guodong for many years and weathered numerous storms together, he quickly grasped Wang Guodong's intent and immediately stood up to take his leave.
"Ah! That Comrade Feng is quite useful; he still has a strong sense of party loyalty!" Wang Guodong suddenly remarked. Zhou Guanghai was taken aback for a moment and then said, "I'll keep an eye on it." He left the room. He didn't understand why the director suddenly mentioned Feng Wei; in his impression, Feng Wei was rather inconspicuous. However, some matters do not require understanding; when the leader gives instructions, one simply follows them.
After Zhou Guanghai left, Wang Guodong immediately took out his phone and called his wife. Once the call connected, Wang Guodong spoke directly and seriously, "You keep an eye on Xiao Long; make sure he doesn't get into any trouble recently."
"What happened? It's so early in the morning," came a sleepy voice from the other end.
"What happened? It's a big deal..." Wang Guodong explained the situation to his wife and concluded, "Your brother listens to you the most; you need to manage him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble."
"Alright, I got it. It's not the first time this has happened. I have a plan; I'll remind Xiao Long about it. By the way, are you coming home tonight?"
Wang Guodong hesitated for a moment and replied, "No, I have something to take care of."
The tone on the other end turned cold: "That's just an excuse. You're going to see that vixen again, aren't you?"
"Wang Hui!" Wang Guodong's tone suddenly became serious. "This kind of thing cannot be taken lightly! You need to understand that issues of conduct are very serious; if even you think like this, something will happen sooner or later."
"Alright, alright, I was just joking!" The woman referred to as Wang Hui suddenly softened her tone. "You need to be careful; someone is targeting you."
"I know. Let's leave it at that for now. Please inform Xiao Long promptly; I'm hanging up." Wang Guodong said.
"Wait, what about our son's study abroad situation?"
Mentioning their son made Wang Guodong's tone gentler: "Don't worry; I'm handling it. How could I not care about our son?" He chuckled lightly.
After finishing the call with his wife Wang Hui, Wang Guodong dialed another number. "Hello, darling!" came a sweet voice from the other end.
"Wen, do you miss me?" Wang Guodong's tone was incredibly gentle, as if he were coaxing a child.
"Of course. You left in such a hurry this morning. Is everything okay?"
Wang Guodong felt warmth in his heart and replied, "It's fine, everything is good."
"Then will you come tonight?" Wen asked tentatively.
"Of course, make sure to clean up and wait for me. Your husband is quite tired and needs to relax," Wang Guodong laughed heartily. In front of Wen, Wang Guodong could temporarily cast aside all worldly matters—there were no hierarchies, no flattery, no scheming, and even no family disputes at home. With Wen, Wang Guodong felt an unprecedented sense of ease; this girl had rejuvenated him.
"Oh, you're so bad!" Wen said shyly, her sweet voice transmitted through the line made Wang Guodong shiver with excitement.
Wen was someone Wang Guodong met after being injured during a mission. At that time, Wen had just graduated from nursing school and was working at the hospital, where she was assigned to take care of Wang Guodong. After his injury, Wang Guodong was restricted and had a fiery temper, causing many nurses to shy away from him.
Just when the hospital was in a dilemma, the inexperienced Wen mustered up her courage and volunteered to care for the injured Wang Guodong. The hospital staff, desperate for a solution, gave her countless reminders on how to handle him. Everyone doubted Wen's capabilities; after all, what could a fresh graduate do? Surprisingly, Wang Guodong did not lash out at Wen like he had with others.
With her gentle and meticulous nature, Wen soothed Wang Guodong's restless heart. It took just one glance for Wang Guodong to fall in love with her. He pursued her relentlessly, and the naive Wen quickly fell into his embrace under his calculated advances. The two became inseparable, living together while avoiding the prying eyes of society. Of course, everything was done in secret.
