210: Chapter 210 System: Please Don't Shift the Blame

After Zhao Yang finished listening to Minister Cai, he was a bit bewildered: "Minister Cai, are you saying that Chief Prosecutor Ji rolled down the stairs and was seriously injured? How could he be so careless?"

Minister Cai sighed over the phone: "Forget it, you were going to find out sooner or later anyway. Ding Yizhen of Jingzhou City was a corrupt official marked by the Supreme Commission for Discipline Inspection. He was poisoned while being interrogated at the Handong Province Procuratorate. Chief Prosecutor Ji received the news in the middle of the night, got up too quickly, suffered a sudden spike in blood pressure, and fell down the stairs."

Zhao Yang digested this with a strange expression for a moment and asked: "So, is the organization's intention for me to leave for Handong Province immediately?"

Minister Cai said in a deep voice: "Yes. Your temporary appointment will be issued today. Go directly to Handong Province tomorrow; there is no need to return to the Imperial Capital first. As the situation is urgent, your organizational talk will be conducted in Handong Province. Once you arrive in Handong Province, take charge of the Procuratorate's affairs as soon as possible. Prepare yourself mentally; the situation at the Handong Province Procuratorate is very complex. If you need help, call me directly."

"Understood, I will remember that," Zhao Yang said solemnly.

"Also, Prosecutor Qin Wenxuan is in the Imperial Capital now and will find you tonight to discuss the handover of work. Do you understand?"

Zhao Yang's expression turned stern. The so-called work handover must involve special instructions. He immediately said: "I understand."

"Alright, go prepare. Thank you for your hard work this time."

Zhao Yang laughed: "It's all in the service of the people, I'm used to it."

"You brat, are you playing Yin and Yang games with me?"

"I wouldn't dare, heh heh. Minister Cai, please take care of your health. When I have time, I'll go to the Imperial Capital to visit you."

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Yang immediately asked in his consciousness: "System, did you cause Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming's injury?"

[Consultation fee: 1000 emotion points.]

Zhao Yang rolled his eyes: "Deduct it yourself."

[Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming's injury is a chain reaction of the host's actions and has nothing to do with me. Please, host, do not pass the buck.]

"Fine, I believe you."

Zhao Yang suddenly smiled.

He had been anxious about being unable to further intervene in the Handong Province situation, but now, it was perfect; he and Secretary Sha Ruijin would be arriving one after the other.

Subsequently, he used his secure phone to inform the five ladies with whom he had formed bonds. Shortly after, the family video conference for the five of them was connected.

Behind Bai Xiaohe were bubbling flasks; Chen Yan was sitting in her office; Gao Qilan and Huang Yimei appeared on the screen together, with a vast blue ocean behind them—it looked like they were on a beach in Hong Kong. Lin Wanyu was in the villa at Wenhua Jiayuan.

Zhao Yang got straight to the point: "You've all received the news, right? I'm going to Handong Province tomorrow, and I expect to be there for a few years."

Gao Qilan spoke first: "Brother Yang, don't we have two apartments in the Jingzhou Dihao Garden? Later, you and Rose can live in one, and Wanyu can live in the other. When we go over, we'll stay at Wanyu's place."

Although the five women got along well, only one could register with Zhao Yang. This quota naturally fell to Huang Yimei.

Chen Yan's nationality was already America, so it wasn't realistic for her to register with Zhao Yang.

Gao Qilan and Lin Wanyu both held Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passports, which also wasn't quite suitable.

Bai Xiaohe was of impeccable background, but she couldn't leave the laboratory and rarely returned home. If she really registered with Zhao Yang, people would definitely think Zhao Yang's marriage was unhappy and that they were living apart.

The only one left was Huang Yimei. She had won almost every honor possible in the entertainment industry and had started fading from the public eye half a year ago. She held an idle position in the Culture and United Front Work Department, which was perfect for her to be his wife in the public eye.

Bai Xiaohe glanced back at the flasks and said hurriedly: "Brother Yang, send me a message when you arrive in Handong Province to let me know you're safe. My experimental temperature seems to have an issue, so I'm logging off first. You guys talk."

As soon as she finished speaking, her screen went black.

Zhao Yang shook his head inwardly.

It had been so many years, and she was still the same. He always felt that in Bai Xiaohe's heart, flasks and beakers were much more important than him.

Chen Yan covered her mouth and smiled: "A-Yang, do you need me to go to Handong Province?"

"Not for now. You should finish up the work at the research center for Xiaohe first," Zhao Yang said.

"In that case..." Chen Yan showed an apologetic expression, "I'm logging off too. Xiaohe just messaged me to go over."

Zhao Yang helplessly put his hand to his forehead: "Go ahead, go ahead."

Only four people were left in the video conference. Huang Yimei spoke up: "Brother Yang, should I return to Shanghai overnight and accompany you there tomorrow?"

"No need to rush," Zhao Yang said, "Wanyu, you don't need to rush to follow me either. Properly organize the things at home before moving. This time, we'll be staying for at least a few years."

"Okay, Brother Yang," Lin Wanyu smiled.

"Also, Xiao Lan," Zhao Yang continued, "there's no need for Qilan Investment to make a move for now. After all, my appointment is as Chief Prosecutor of the Procuratorate, and I don't handle investment promotion."

Gao Qilan suddenly thought of something and covered her mouth, smiling: "Brother Yang, you're about to be at the deputy provincial level, right?"

"Hmm, I suppose so," Zhao Yang said.

Gao Qilan patted Huang Yimei on the shoulder: "Did you hear that, Rose? You're about to be the wife of a provincial-level official."

Huang Yimei laughed: "Aren't we all? Wait a few years until your ID issues are resolved, and we can take turns being this wife. How about we rotate every five years in alphabetical order?"

Zhao Yang hurriedly waved his hand to stop this somewhat dangerous topic.

They exchanged a few more intimate family words before ending the short video conference.

Subsequently, Zhao Yang called in Hu Yifei.

She was now the Deputy Division Chief of the First Division under the Third Branch.

"Chief Prosecutor Zhao, did you call for me?" Hu Yifei stood straight in front of Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang smiled: "No need to be so formal. Yifei, I want to ask you a personal question—how is your relationship with Zeng Xiaoxian?"

Hu Yifei was stunned: "Chief Prosecutor, why are you asking about this?"

"I'm about to go to Handong Province to work," Zhao Yang said, "If you want to take on more responsibility, you can come to Handong Province."

"I'll go with you," Hu Yifei said without hesitation.

"Don't you want to consider it?" Zhao Yang was a bit puzzled, "Actually, if you don't go, by the end of next year at the latest, Prosecutor Qin will naturally promote you to the rank of Division Chief. If you go to Handong Province, you and Zeng Xiaoxian..."

"Brother Yang, take a look at this." Hu Yifei took out her phone, opened Weibo, and handed it over, "This was posted by Nuolan. You've heard of her, right? Zeng Xiaoxian's partner."

Hu Yifei was using a Red Bean large-screen phone, which had a very high screen resolution.

It read on that Weibo post: "Heaven makes you wait so that you can meet the right person. Happiness at this moment, blessed by God, grateful. @Zeng Xiaoxian V."

The attached image showed two hands tightly clasped together, and below it was Zeng Xiaoxian's like.

Zhao Yang felt like everything went black before his eyes.

"Damn it!"

The scene of bringing Zeng Xiaoxian back with Hu Yifei was still vivid in his memory, and Hu Yifei hadn't dated anyone in these years, so how could this Zeng Xiaoxian still not escape the BOSS Nuolan?

This damn Zeng Xiaoxian, I really want to beat him until he can't take care of himself!

For a moment, Zhao Yang had the urge to feed the Xian-Fei romance to the dogs.

He calmed down for a moment and said: "Yifei, are you thinking of leaving here because of relationship issues?"

Hu Yifei shook her head: "Brother Yang, I believe that if it's mine, it's destined to be mine. Even if I'm not here, he will take the initiative to find me. If it's not mine, then it's destined not to be, and even if we see each other every day, he will run off to somewhere else. I'm telling you this just to let you know—don't consider the matter between me and Zeng Xiaoxian; just consider the issue from the perspective of my career development."

Zhao Yang looked at her stubborn expression and nodded: "Okay. By next month at the latest, I'll have you transferred over. Be careful to keep it confidential."

Hu Yifei said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Yang."

Thank you for the gifts, foster fathers.
