Three months passed quickly. On the way back from work, I dropped Secretary Lu off at his villa and said to the driver, " Xiao Zhu, later you can take Xiao Hu back." Then I said to Xiao Hu, "Xiao Hu, make sure to handle the formalities in the next couple of days." Then I joked, "From now on, the three of us will be an iron triangle."
I went to the family compound of the Market Supervision Bureau to retrieve my personal belongings. There were many people who had seen big scenes and big events in the compound, but the appearance of the number one car from the provincial committee was definitely a big deal.
" Xiao Zhu " got out of the car first to help me open the door, and then put his hand on my head, saying, "Hu, take it easy!"
Although I am not the director yet, it's only a matter of time, because the secretary of the provincial committee's secretary usually also serves as the director of the comprehensive office, and the value of this director position is very high.
The people watching the show all around dropped their eyes to the ground. They were all gangsters, so who could not tell who was better? Xiao Cui saw it, but didn't dare to come up to say hello. Instead, he took a deep look at Secretary Lu's car and hurried home. He must have tipped off Jiang Xiaoli. Since I officially started working, I have received more calls, from leaders of prefectures and cities, leaders of provincial units, and from elementary school, junior high school, and high school classmates in my hometown Annam, relatives from the same village, and relatives who are far away... I am polite to everyone who calls, but no matter if they want to come to my house to sit or have dinner, I politely and firmly refuse: "I'm really sorry, time doesn't allow!" For those few people I am particularly close to, I solemnly tell them: "I'll arrange it when I get back!"
Going upstairs to knock on the door, Jiang Xiaoli hesitated. Tears still lingered in her eyes, pretending to be pitiful and miserable.
Only after losing it did I realize what is most precious. If we were still husband and wife now, even if it's just in name and our hearts are not in sync, she would still have the support she needs. But now, she's like a rat crossing the street, openly pointed at and talked about in this compound.
During this time, her family members have been calling me one after another, but I have not answered any of their calls.
Xiao Zhu Help me carry these things. We need to go downstairs together. Jiang Xiaoli is holding onto me and won't let go, saying, "Ruoyun, let's remarry for Yingying! In the future, I promise I will be a good mother and a good wife!"
Xiao Zhu says, "Hugo, I'm going downstairs first, you should hurry too."
I know, this brother is afraid I'll soften at the critical moment.
I teased Jiang Xiaoli: "Isn't he already divorced? You two can openly be together now. When are you getting married?"
She stopped me and said, "Right now, you are the only one in my eyes!"
Damn, she still thinks I'm a fool.
I got up to leave, and Jiang Xiaoli stopped me again: "Name your price. I'll agree to any amount. We don't have to remarry, just get him reinstated!"
I suppressed my anger and said, "Don't you think it's an insult to me to discuss terms for another man in front of me? Don't you find it ridiculous?"
Jiang Xiaoli remained unfazed: "We'll compensate you. I've saved over 500,000 over the years. If he adds another 500,000, as long as you say you won't let the Commission for Discipline Inspection and supervisory department investigate further, and then let him return to work, all 1 million is yours!"

I accompanied Secretary Lu on a research trip to Mingyang City, and Sister Hua called: "Xiao Hu, I'm coming to pick up Yingying, the teacher said she was taken away by her mother!"
Before I could react, a text message flashed on my phone: "Our daughter is in our hands. As long as you agree to the conditions I mentioned last time, I will give you 1 million, and return your daughter to you. Otherwise, you will never see her again!" Xiao Zhu saw my face change and asked with concern, "Hugo, what happened?"
Secretary Lu, who was sitting in the back seat, woke up and looked at me, then took the phone from my hand. "Report the case, call Cheng Shi directly..." Secretary Lu returned the phone to me and said coldly. Cheng Shi is the chief of the public security department. Before I rushed back to Jiangcheng from Mingyang, Chief Cheng personally called me: "Director Hu, the case has been solved, it's about the child..."
"What happened to my daughter?" I exclaimed.
Director Cheng sighed, "They say a tiger does not eat its cubs, but they used tape to tie up the child and didn't give her anything to eat or drink... The child is too young, and was frightened. When we found her, she had already fainted. But don't worry, she's in the hospital now. Her grandmother and Director Hua are with her. The doctor said there are no major physical issues, but she may have suffered some mental trauma..."
I asked coldly, "What about that couple?"
"Jiang... The person surnamed Jiang confessed that everything was the idea of the person surnamed Cheng, and it was also the person surnamed Cheng who took the child away and sent him to another place alone..." Director Cheng said, "But the person surnamed Cheng denies it. He says that everything was done by the person surnamed Jiang alone, and the two almost got into a fight."
"Thank you, Director Cheng. Handle it according to the procedure," I said, feeling completely drained, and hung up the phone.
My mother is waiting in the special care ward at the Provincial People's Hospital.
Yingying is awake, but her eyes are lifeless. Even when her grandmother talks to her, she seems absent-minded. When I entered the room, she just slightly twitched her mouth, but didn't smile. My heart ached. I tried to cheer up my daughter, but she remained listless.
I'm looking for the attending doctor, and the attending doctor helplessly said, "Hu, the child's condition is due to psychological factors, which is beyond the scope of our routine treatment." I thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, I just want to ask if we can go home for recuperation in this situation?" The doctor agreed, "The child's physical functions are all fine. After going back, as long as she is accompanied by someone she is willing to accept, she will get better over time." At five ten in the afternoon, the door of the ward was pushed open. Before I could turn around to see who it was, Yingying struggled to sit up, stretched out her arms, and called out, "Aunt Hua, why did you come so late? I've missed you!"
Sister Hua put down the fruits she was carrying and walked over with her hands outstretched, saying, "Auntie, didn't you want to buy Yingying some of her favorite fruits... I'm sorry for making Yingying wait!"
Xiao Zhu was driving, my mother was sitting in the passenger seat, and Sister Hua and I sandwiched Yingying in the middle. Yingying chattered and laughed all the way, and I saw my mother wiping away tears gently.
