Chapter 57: Father and Son

  Wang Weiye saw that Yao Xinmin had misunderstood the situation, so he quickly told him: "It's not Zhao Long's godfather who sent him, but another one of my godfathers. Uncle Yao, don't ask too many questions, it won't do you any good even if you do. I think before you came up here, you must have told my dad, right? Then just wait until my dad comes and you can ask him about it. If he can tell you, then you'll know."

  Wang Weiye didn't want to waste his breath on his stepfather, so he quickly changed the subject and told Yao Xinmin everything that had happened today. Just as Wang Weiye was speaking, he heard his mother's voice downstairs, and he frowned, saying to Sima Youlan: "Youlan, hurry up and go down to intercept my mom, don't let her come up, she'll be scared when she sees the dead person."

  Simayoulan heard Wang Weiye say that his mother-in-law had arrived, and she hurriedly ran downstairs. As soon as she saw her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Simayoulan blocked Liu Dongmei and Ya Qin, and hastily said to Wang He: "Dad, you quickly go up and persuade Wei Ye a few words, he is now angry and wants to kill people, I have persuaded him for half a day, and now Uncle Yao is talking to him upstairs."

  Wang He's heart skipped a beat when he heard Sima Youlan's words. As long as Xiao San was fine, the problem could be solved, but he also understood that his family's precious son could get away with anything except losing face. Especially now that he had such a terrifying document in hand, if he were to fly into a rage and kill someone, it would be difficult to handle. Wang He couldn't afford to chat with Sima Youlan anymore, so he lightly patted her shoulder and said, "You take care of your mom and sister downstairs, I'll go talk to Xiao San." After speaking, Wang He quickly headed upstairs.

  Wang He walked upstairs without being intercepted by the guards, and as soon as he entered the hall, he smelled blood. Wang He furrowed his brow and walked towards Yao Xinmin and Wang Weiye.

  Wang Weiye saw his old man coming, so he quickly introduced Tan Long, who was in charge of guarding him, to his father: "Dad, you're here. Let me introduce you to this first. This is Commander Tan Long of the Central Guard Unit. They were all sent by my godfather to protect me."

  "Hello, sir! My name is Tan Long." Although Tan Long had a special status, he didn't dare show any disrespect to the local authorities.

  "Hello! Comrade Tan Long. You've all worked hard, and it seems that this son of mine is not very considerate, so please take good care of him from now on."

  "Yes, Commander, protecting you is our duty." Tan Long replied loudly to Wang He's words.

  Wang He took a glance at the corpse that had not been removed yet, and then said to Yao Xinmin: "You go find an office, I'll talk there."

  "Yes, Old Chief." Yao Xinmin did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Wang He, he knew the old chief's temper very well.

  In an office, Wang He was smoking and pacing back and forth. To get to the bottom of things, he stopped in his tracks and asked with a very serious face: "Which one of you two can tell me why such a severe thing happened?"

  "Old chief, it's like this, ……"

  After listening to Yao Xinmin's report, Wang He now really wants to scold those incompetent and useless bastards. But for now, he can only endure it, trying his best to downplay the matter, making a big deal out of nothing. If this were to be handed over to the military court, there is a possibility that it would be defined as a political issue.

  Now Wang He is neither sitting nor standing. If he didn't know what kind of person Wang Weiye's godfather was, he wouldn't be so anxious and flustered. In order not to let the situation escalate, Wang He very patiently asked Wang Weiye: "Little San, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

  Seeing his old man kick the ball to him, Wang Weiye, who is not a thrifty lamp either, immediately kicked the ball back. He said: "Dad, then how should we deal with this matter?"

  Wang He saw Wang Weiye kicking the problem back again, and he was so angry in his heart. He thought to himself, "You think I don't want to say anything? Those people from the guard team, who recognizes him as the boss? Now if I had the final say, would I still need to discuss with this little rabbit?"

  Now Wang He was really out of options, such a big incident had occurred, and as the provincial political and legal committee secretary, he couldn't afford to slack off at this critical moment. The problem had to be solved perfectly. Although Wang Weiye was his son, his current identity was no longer that of an ordinary citizen. In order not to implicate the provincial and municipal leadership, Wang He thought for a moment and said: "Little San, do you think this is okay? Today's shooting incident, let's just say it was a fight that got out of hand and someone accidentally fired a shot. Let's downplay the whole thing and make it seem like no big deal. And those few people outside, can you not have the security guards from the Security Guard Unit take them away to the military court, but instead have them handed over to us locally, and we'll handle it?"

  Yao Xinmin listened to the old captain on the side, and he felt inexplicable that he was so calm and peaceful in discussing with Wang Weiye. Such a big shooting incident, how could Wang Weiye take charge? Yao Xinmin now has a little confusion, not understanding why the old captain wants to do this.

  When Wang Wei heard his father's words, he felt a lump in his throat. Since his father had already said so, Wang Wei just borrowed his courage and didn't dare to stand up and oppose him. Wang Wei smiled wryly and said: "Dad, I don't have any opinions, and we can also not pursue this matter. But Tan Dage and the others are not from our department, whether he will listen to me is another story. Why don't I call him over and you talk to him again? Do you think that's okay?"

  Wang He nodded and said: "Then you go out and invite Tang Yinglong over, I'll have a good talk with him."

  Wang He thought to himself, as long as you agree to this, little rascal, everything will be easy. Seeing Wang Weiye leave, Wang He's face sank and he slapped Yao Xinmin on the head, saying: "You, you scoundrel, how did you educate them? Today it was just a small matter, if it were anyone else, your city public security bureau would have been exposed. The provincial and municipal leaders would have to eat with you. If this were in the army, I would have already thrown you out, you can't even manage your subordinates, what use are you?"

  Yao Xinmin stood there, motionless and silent, listening to the old leader's scolding. He knew that this time the old leader was really angry, having worked by his side for over thirty years, the old leader had never hit him before. But he just couldn't understand who Sanzi's godfather was, someone who could mobilize the Central Guard Regiment. Yao Xinmin finally couldn't hold it in and asked: "Old Leader, what about Sanzi..."

  Before Yao Xinmin could ask further, Wang He immediately stopped Yao's questioning. He scolded in a low voice: "You don't ask what you should ask, and you ask what you shouldn't ask. Your brain must have been eaten by dogs. Do you still need to ask? Can ordinary people mobilize the Central Guard Regiment? Now shut your mouth for me and just listen."

  Just as Wang He was scolding Yao Xinmin in a low voice, Wang Weiye and Tan Long walked in. On the way, Wang Weiye had already simply told Tan Long what his father meant.

  Tan Long walked up to Wang He and said, "Secretary Wang, the leader has already told me your thoughts. I can leave those people here for you to handle locally. However, there is one thing I need to clarify with Secretary Wang: the person I shot was beating the leader at the time, and I opened fire according to regulations. I will clearly explain this in my report. Your local authorities should also submit a handling report to the relevant departments as soon as possible for filing."

  Seeing Tan Long giving face, Wang Wei Ye patted Tan Long's shoulder and said: "Brother Tan, thank you. There's nothing for us to do here anymore, tell my brother to drive my car over, you guys should go to my house to stay instead, no need to hide and sneak around. My godfather is really something, why didn't he tell me about it? You say if I had killed you, wouldn't that be unjust?"

  Tan Long has now really learned the way this little leader speaks, it's simply whatever comes to mind. Tan Long looked at Wang Weiye and said with great embarrassment: "Leader, I don't like this protection method either, the difficulty is just too great. But Leader, you never consider your own safety, walking all over the city. The deputy mayor said that it must not affect your normal life. That's why the deputy mayor didn't notify the leader."

  Wang Wei looked at Tan Long strangely and said, "Forget it, doesn't this affect your life? These past two days you've been following me, I thought it was He Jianglong coming to bother me. I'm so annoyed, waiting for you on the left and right, not making a move. Now just follow me openly, I'm really scared."

  After chatting and laughing with Tang Long, Wang Weiye said to Wang He, "Dad, is there anything else we need to do here? If not, I'll head back home with Mom."

  Wang He couldn't wait for Wang Weiye to leave now, and as soon as he heard that he was going to leave, Wang He immediately waved his hand at Wang Weiye and said: "It's indeed inconvenient for you to be here. Why don't you go home with your mother now? If there's anything, I'll call home."

  When he saw Wang Weiye walk out of the room, Wang He's heart finally fell to the ground, and he let out a long sigh, his spirit also relaxing.

  But Yao Xinmin saw the old chief let Wang Weiye go like this, he was very puzzled in his heart, which was completely inconsistent with the old chief's consistent principle. Yao Xinmin asked: "Old chief, how many godfathers does Little San have? But..."

  Wang He had been looking at Yao Xinmin like this, not knowing what the old subordinate wanted to say. Wang He waved his hand and said: "Xinmin, what do you want to say with your murmurs? If there's something urgent, speak up quickly; if not, there are still things outside waiting for you to handle."

  The old chief looked a bit anxious and angry, Yao Xinmin hastily said: "Old chief, I just knew about this thing too, it's about Xiaosan."
