49: Chen Yuqing is pregnant
As for the position of County Party Committee Secretary-General, it would wait until Wan Guoliang took office, at which point suitable personnel would be selected in Yushu County and reported to the Municipal Party Committee for a final decision.
This was a deliberate move to help Wan Guoliang quickly establish a firm foothold in Yushu County and carry out work in all aspects, leaving him some leeway.
That evening, Lin Zifeng, who had been staying at home, received a call from Wang Zhongyu.
On the phone, Wang Zhongyu told him that Yu Hualin might be in trouble.
Because Yu Hualin's wife had gone to Heping Town yesterday afternoon, claiming that Yu Guodong had lost contact.
There were rumors that Yu Hualin's wife had also been taken away by the relevant departments today.
Upon hearing Wang Zhongyu's report, Lin Zifeng felt a stir in his heart. He didn't say anything to Wang Zhongyu, just instructed him to pick him up early the next morning for work, and to neither spread nor believe rumors, before hanging up the phone.
Just as he was about to call Jiang Yufei to confirm his suspicions, her call came through first.
He answered the phone immediately and said, "Yufei, has everything been resolved?"
"Yes, Zifeng. I have received reliable information that that animal Yu Hualin has already been arrested."
"Moreover, it has implicated a number of people, some from our Heping Town and some from the county level."
"Some black sheep have been rooted out; isn't it very gratifying?"
Jiang Yufei's voice was full of joy.
Hearing Jiang Yufei's account, Lin Zifeng associated it with many things and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He asked with some excitement, "Yufei, how did you manage that? It's incredible!"
"Zifeng, my affair was just a catalyst. The relevant departments in the City Level had long noticed certain people and matters in our Yushu County."
"I just happened to be there at the right time, and I was quite lucky. This is the net of justice, wide-meshed but letting nothing through."
Jiang Yufei did not tell the truth.
"It seems that the saying 'evil cannot prevail over good' still stands the test!"
He said happily.
Subsequently, the two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.
Lin Zifeng knew that although Jiang Yufei did not say it explicitly, he was certain that among the people from the county who had been implicated, Yu Guodong must be one of them.
With Yu Guodong's downfall, he felt that the mountain that had been pressing down on him had suddenly disappeared, making him feel incredibly relaxed, and he hummed a little tune in his Bedroom.
Meanwhile, in the provincial capital hundreds of kilometers away, Chen Yuqing was staring blankly at the two lines displayed in her hand, her mind wandering.
A week ago, her 'relative' that arrived on time every month had not arrived as scheduled, and for the past few days, she couldn't help but feel nauseous whenever she smelled cooking fumes.
So she had a terrible suspicion and secretly went to buy a pregnancy test, but she didn't expect the result to be the same as she had guessed, which made her panic for a moment, and she didn't know what to do.
Just then, Chen Yuxi knocked on the door and pushed it open from the outside. Chen Yuqing, who was lost in thought, didn't notice Chen Yuxi walking into the room at all.
When the curious Chen Yuxi came behind her and saw her staring unblinkingly at the object in her hand, she opened her eyes wide in surprise and subconsciously said, "Sister, are you pregnant?"
Chen Yuqing was startled, quickly clutched the pregnancy test in her hand, turned around, and said angrily, "You dead girl, why didn't you knock on the door?"
"Sister, I did knock before coming in. You were just too lost in your thoughts to hear it."
"By the way, don't change the subject. The thing you were holding just now was a pregnancy test, right? And I saw it, it was two lines."
"Don't think I don't recognize it and try to fool me with excuses!"
As she spoke, she stared closely at Chen Yuqing's hand holding the pregnancy test.
"Keep your voice down, don't let Mom and Dad hear."
Chen Yuqing looked nervous.
"Fine, I'll keep my voice down, okay? I'm just so surprised. Sister, how did you suddenly get pregnant?"
"Could it be Lin Zifeng's? Or someone else?"
Facing her curious younger sister, she subconsciously said, "Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
"I am a proponent of non-marriage. Except for that one accident, I haven't had close contact with any other man."
Since she had already been discovered by her younger sister, she felt there was no need to hide it.
After all, she still needed her younger sister to cover for her in front of her parents!
"So, you really are pregnant with Lin Zifeng's child?"
She nodded helplessly, "Who knew that one accident would be so accurate?"
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
"Then what are you planning to do, Sister? Are you going to get rid of it, or are you planning to keep it secretly?"
"My mind is in a mess right now; I have no idea what to do!"
Hearing the two options asked by her younger sister, she subconsciously looked at her lower abdomen. She was somewhat reluctant to get rid of it.
Seeing her sister's expression, Chen Yuxi spoke again, "Sister, regardless of anything else, this is a little life. It would be a pity to get rid of it."
"Didn't you plan never to get married? This can be considered a gift from heaven! Just keep it and have it secretly!"
"If you never get married, having a child by your side will save you from being lonely in your old age."
Hearing her sister's persuasion, her heart stirred, and she said, "Yuxi, I will consider this matter carefully before making a prudent decision."
"You must keep this secret for me; you absolutely cannot let Mom and Dad know."
"Don't worry, Sister. I will keep this secret for you. No matter what choice you make, I will support you and will always be on your side."
Chen Yuxi said solemnly.
"Thank you, Yuxi. My brain is a bit messy right now. Go back to your room and rest! You have to go to school tomorrow!"
"Let me have some peace and quiet; I need to think about what to do next."
"Okay, Sister. Get some good rest! If you have anything in the future, you can tell me, and we sisters will share it together."
After saying this, she turned and walked outside.
Watching her sister's back, Chen Yuqing felt a sense of relief, thinking silently to herself that her sister had really grown up.
Chen Yuqing then lay on the bed, her hands constantly stroking her lower abdomen, and Lin Zifeng's handsome and refined face couldn't help but appear in her mind.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "The child I have with you will surely be very cute and beautiful!"
She now had an urge in her heart to give birth to this child.
Thinking of this, she picked up the phone placed to the side and, as if possessed, called Lin Zifeng.
