42: The little cotton-padded jacket who tattles

Hearing what Jiang Shenzhi said, Lin Zifeng immediately understood his intentions.

So he patted the other party's shoulder and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You won't regret your current choice.

Otherwise, you'll be buried with certain people.

Take your brothers, find a place to eat, and go back after you've eaten. I'll pretend I never saw you!"

"Thank you, Town Head. I'll remember what you said."

Jiang Shenzhi felt that Lin Zifeng wasn't lying to him. The relationship between Yu Hualin and Jiang Yufei shouldn't be as understated as Yu Hualin claimed.

He knew Yu Hualin's character, so a chill ran down his spine. Watching Lin Zifeng's car continue towards the City Level, he didn't recover for a long time, feeling a shiver of fear.

At this moment, a police officer spoke, "Station Chief, we just let them go. How will you explain this to the Secretary when you go back?"

"Explain what? You two need to remember, we were entrusted by Secretary Hualin to find Committee Member Jiang to understand some things.

We absolutely did not intend to forcibly take Committee Member Jiang away.

Remember this well, or if I'm unlucky, you'll be unlucky too."

Jiang Shenzhi said irritably. The two quickly nodded in agreement. Another police officer asked, "Station Chief, what if the Secretary presses you for answers?"

"Isn't that easy? Just say we didn't catch up.

Let's go, get in the car. It's not far from the county town. Let's find a place to eat before heading back.

When we go back, no matter who asks, just say we were searching for the Town Head's car the whole time, but didn't find it."

Jiang Shenzhi said, walking towards the police car.

The two agreed and got into the car with him.

Just then, Yu Hualin called Jiang Shenzhi and immediately asked, "How is it? Did you find them?"

"Secretary, we chased frantically with our police lights on, even past the county town, but didn't find the Town Head's car.

We're heading towards the City Level now! Why don't you find someone else to look in the county town again?"

With a few words, Jiang Shenzhi fooled Yu Hualin.

Putting down the phone, he couldn't help but think, 'I can't afford to offend you, Yu Hualin, but I also can't disregard my own future because of your recklessness!'

Lin Zifeng is right. I don't have any proper procedures. If I dared to forcibly take away a Party Committee Member, and it was investigated later, I could forget about continuing this job.

You can save it. I'll have lunch in the county town and then go back to report to you.

I don't believe that if I can't catch the person, you can eat me, can you?

Besides, compared to a twenty-four-year-old Town Head, you are already past your prime. Offending such a young Town Head might have even more serious consequences than offending you.

I'd better follow the rules!

Thinking this, Jiang Shenzhi felt that he had made a wise choice just now.

Li Qiang drove fast and steadily, and before eleven o'clock, he drove the car into the urban area of Chunhua City.

Only then did Jiang Yufei breathe a sigh of relief, looking at him gratefully and saying, "Thank you for today, Town Head."

"You don't have to be. Where do you want to go now? Home first? Or..."

He didn't suggest reporting the incident because there were others in the car. Out of consideration for Jiang Yufei's reputation, he didn't ask if she wanted to call the police.

Jiang Yufei understood his meaning, thought for a moment, and said, "Just drop me near the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government."

Lin Zifeng thought she was going to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to report Yu Hualin! So he didn't think much of it, nodded, and said, "Alright! If you need anything from me, you can call me anytime."

"No need, Town Head. You finally decided to go home, and then you ran into my trouble.

This matter was a bit rushed, so I won't entertain you all.

Next time there's an opportunity, I'll definitely make it up to you. Thank you, Town Head, and thank you, Brother Wang and Brother Li."

Jiang Yufei said with an apologetic look.

Wang Zhongyu and Li Qiang quickly said there was no need to be so polite. Lin Zifeng nodded and said, "Your matter is important. Call me anytime if you need anything."

He then lowered his voice and said in Jiang Yufei's ear, "Why don't I go with you to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

"Really no need, Zifeng. I will definitely handle this matter well. There's no need for you to come with me."

Jiang Yufei refused him again, also thinking of him.

Seeing Jiang Yufei's firm attitude, Lin Zifeng didn't insist and had to nod in resignation.

Soon, Li Qiang drove the car near the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

Watching Jiang Yufei walk into the Municipal Party Committee Compound, he finally spoke, "Li Qiang, find a small restaurant. Let's eat before heading back. No need to rush on the way back."

Li Qiang agreed and drove away.

After Jiang Yufei entered the Municipal Party Committee Compound, she didn't go to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection as Lin Zifeng had imagined.

Instead, she walked towards the Municipal Party Committee while taking out her phone to make a call.

Jiang Shiyu, who was in his office discussing work with the Organization Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, Li Xinzhang, saw the name on his private phone's caller ID, quickly picked up the phone, gestured for Li Xinzhang to wait, and then answered the call.

"Oh, what? You're back? You're downstairs? Why didn't you just go home?

You haven't been home for almost three months. Your mom has been longing for you.

What? You want to report on your work to me as a Heping Town Party Committee Member?

Pure nonsense. Wait a moment, I'll have your Brother Zhao come pick you up."

After Jiang Shiyu hung up the phone, he smiled and said to Li Xinzhang, "My wild girl is back. She hasn't been home for almost three months, and as soon as she's back, she wants to report on her work to me."

"Secretary Shi, you should really transfer Yufei to work in the City Level, so you and sister-in-law won't have to worry so much."

Li Xinzhang suggested with a smile.

"Xinzhang, you don't know! Our Yufei looks obedient, but she has a very stubborn personality.

She insists on gaining experience at the grassroots level. If I forcefully intervene, not only will I not gain anything, but I'll also make that girl unhappy.

Let her be! It's also a good thing to gain experience in a difficult place."

Jiang Shiyu said with a face full of smiles.

"Then I won't disturb you and your niece."

Li Xinzhang said, standing up.

Jiang Shiyu saw Li Xinzhang to the door and called out, "Little Zhao." His Secretary, Zhao Hao, quickly walked out from the small office next door.

"Secretary, do you have any instructions?"

"Our Yufei is back. She's downstairs. Go down and bring her up."

Jiang Shiyu said with a smile.

Zhao Hao agreed and quickly walked downstairs.

Back in his office, Jiang Shiyu's mood improved because his Little Padded Jacket was back.

He watered the potted plants while humming a tune.

What he didn't know was that his Little Padded Jacket hadn't returned to see him, but to complain to him.

It wouldn't be long before she made him furious.

A few minutes later, his office door was forcefully pushed open.

He put down the watering can, turned around, and saw his beloved Little Padded Jacket walking quickly towards him.

To his surprise, the usually strong Jiang Yufei, with red eyes, threw herself into his arms.

Zhao Hao, who had followed behind Jiang Yufei but didn't enter, quickly closed the office door.
