Chapter 161 [Blessings and Misfortunes] (Part 2)
Chapter 161 [Good is the basis of misfortune] (Part 2)
Wei Zhicheng confessed to his crime of corruption and returned all the embezzlement. Despite this, he still could not escape the severe punishment of the law.
Gu Jiatong made a special trip to Beishan Detention Center to visit Wei Zhicheng. After a few days, Wei Zhicheng became much haggard and messy with his hair, and a few fine wrinkles were climbing on his handsome face. A man went from death to life, and then suddenly fell into the abyss from his new life. In such a short time, Wei Zhicheng had completed the whole process of his sadness and joy. It was really a blessing and a blessing. He looked at Gu Jiatong through the glass, trying to make a relaxed expression, but the despair and regret in his heart were still revealed through his melancholy eyes.
Gu Jiatong picked up the phone and tapped the window gently. It took Wei Zhicheng a while to pick up the phone.
"Hey! Zhicheng, are you okay?"
Wei Zhicheng nodded, his eyes slightly red: "I thought I was going to die, and I had to leave something for them so that they could live a good life."
Gu Jiatong didn't say anything. She could understand Wei Zhicheng's motives and original intentions, but no matter what, the money did not belong to him, and he shouldn't have used such means.
Wei Zhicheng said: "I have nothing to be overwhelmed. This life was obtained by luck. I have consulted a lawyer and may be sentenced to more than ten years."
Gu Jiatong said: "You perform well. If you have good performance, you can get a commutation of sentence. Besides, the sentence has not yet been announced, so you may not be so pessimistic."
Wei Zhicheng said: "Jiatong, I'm afraid I can't take care of He Bei anymore. She doesn't know that something happened to me, you..."
Gu Jiatong sighed and said, "You need to say nothing, I understand, I will take care of you on He Bei. When she gives birth to a child, I will arrange a position for her in the company."
"Thank you!" Wei Zhicheng was sincerely moved.
Gu Jiatong comforted him and said, "You are still young and will be released from prison in no time. You still have the opportunity to start a career. I came to see you just to tell you in person, don't be depressed because of this."
Zhang Yang's course at the provincial party school training class was coming to an end. He had already set off to return to Jiangcheng after the course was over, but suddenly he received a call from his godmother Luo Huining, asking him to go to Beijing. Mr. Tianchi suddenly fell ill and Luo Huining wanted Zhang Yang to see the elderly. Zhang Yang would definitely not refuse her request, not to mention that he admired Mr. Tianchi very much. After talking to Gu Jiatong, he bought a ticket to Beijing that day.
When Zhang Yang boarded the plane, he met an acquaintance, who was Liang Chenglong, chairman of Fengyu Group.
Liang Chenglong did not go to Beijing alone, but brought his girlfriend Bai Yan with him.
After meeting, they just greeted each other very politely. When they got off the plane at the airport, Zhang Yang wanted to call him, but Liang Chenglong took the initiative to ask the driver who came to pick him to drive the BMW over and invited him warmly: "Director Zhang, where are you going? I'll give it to you!"
The weather in Beijing in June was already very hot, so Zhang Yang did not refuse and opened the car door and sat in.
Liang Chenglong smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect that we would take a flight."
Zhang Yang looked at Bai Yan beside Liang Chenglong and smiled and said, "Come to Beijing to have fun?"
Liang Chenglong nodded: "It's mainly business and fun. There's nothing fun in Beijing. I have to come here several times a year, and I've traveled everywhere."
The sidekick said, "I haven't been here for many years. This time I must take a good look at the scenic spots and historical sites in Beijing and eat special snacks in Beijing."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I have a good place to tell you when I mention eating. There is a small farmyard in Anzhenmen, which is opened by Chunyang Beijing Office. There are several special dishes that are very good."
Liang Chenglong knew that Zhang Yang had served as the director of Chunyang's Beijing Office. He smiled and said, "If Director Zhang is free, I will invite you there tonight! There is a saying that we can be considered destined to meet an old friend in a foreign land!"
Zhang Yang smiled faintly. He and Liang Chenglong were not considered an old friend. He did not plan to have dinner with Liang Chenglong. He politely declined and said, "I have something to do in the evening. So what, I'll send me to Chunyang Beijing Office first!"
Liang Chenglong did not force him and asked the driver to send him to Chunyang Beijing Office. Zhang Yang had not been to Beijing for more than four months. When he walked into the gate of the Beijing Office, he found that there were a lot of flowers in the yard, which seemed much neat than before. Several offices in Beijing Office were closed, and the staff were enjoying the coolness of the air conditioner.
Zhang Yang came to the director's office and knocked on the door gently. Yu Xiaodong's voice came from inside: "Please come in!"
Zhang Yang pushed the door and walked in.
Yu Xiaodong was staring at the newspaper. Zhang Yang walked in, and she didn't even bother to take a look away from the newspaper: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yang coughed.
Yu Xiaodong then raised her head in surprise. When she saw that it was Zhang Yang, she screamed in surprise and stood up from the chair: "Director Zhang! What wind has blown you?"
Zhang Yang sat down opposite her happily: "I said to Sister Yu, can we not be so surprised?"
Yu Xiaodong said with a smile on his face: "I'm happy!" She hurriedly got up to make tea, then pulled out of the refrigerator and handed it to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang opened the coke and drank it: "Sister Yu, I'm going to stay in Beijing for a few days, so I'll be dependent on you!"
Yu Xiaodong smiled and said, "Okay!"
"I'm still sleeping in the room I've gone, and I'm used to it!"
Yu Xiaodong shook his head and said, "This is not true, someone is living in that room!"
Zhang Yang said in surprise: "Is Chunyang here?"
Yu Xiaodong smiled and nodded and said, "Secretary Qin is here. I arrived the day before yesterday. I will attend a meeting and it will probably take a week to leave."
Zhang Yang was really surprised and happy. Unexpectedly, Qin Qing also came to Beijing. He also called Qin Qing two days ago, but he didn't hear her mention about Beijing.
Yu Xiaodong said: "You can live in the next room. By the way, I'll ask them to prepare in advance what to eat at night."
Zhang Yang said: "I still have something to do. I don't know when I can come back at night. Let's do it. Prepare the room for me. I'll come here to stay at night and take my luggage in. Don't tell Secretary Qin about my coming to Beijing."
Yu Xiaodong was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that no one in the Chunyang system knew about the unruly and chaotic relationship between Zhang Yang and Qin Qing. Zhang Yang refused to let him say that, probably because he wanted to give Qin Qing an unexpected surprise, Yu Xiaodong nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Yang took a shower in the room, changed his clothes, and then contacted Luo Huining.
Luo Huining was very happy to hear that he had arrived in Beijing and asked him to go to Mr. Tianchi's residence at the foot of Xiangshan immediately.
Chunyang’s Beijing Office has bought a Santana, but Qin Qing is in Beijing recently, so the car is naturally for her to use. Yu Xiaodong wanted to arrange a vehicle for Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang refused her kindness. After all, she is no longer a staff member of Chunyang County, so there is no reason to take too much advantage.
Zhang Yang took a taxi to Mr. Tianchi's residence and saw a red flag car parked outside the door. He recognized that he was Vice Premier Wen's car from the license plate. Luo Huining had already arrived.
The gate of the courtyard was half open, and Zhang Yang pushed the door open and walked in, but saw Wen Ling standing quietly in the courtyard in a long black dress, looking at the stone carvings embedded on the wall, wondering what she was thinking?
Zhang Yang was still very afraid of this fucking sister, and always felt that there was an indescribable weirdness on her body.
Zhang Yang's footsteps were very light, but Wen Ling noticed his arrival at the first time and quickly turned around. Her skin was still very pale, and she looked a little translucent under the sun. She could clearly see the blue blood vessels on her forehead, her eyebrows were long, her eyes were very big, her lips were not much bloody, her exposed arms and her calves were slender and pale, and her whole body was as delicate as if she could be blown away by the wind at any time.
Zhang Yang smiled and called out politely: "Sister Ling!"
Wen Ling nodded, pointed to the stone carvings on the wall and said, "Have you noticed that these stone carvings are very strange, as if they contain an inexhaustible force?"
Zhang Yang came over curiously, but he didn't see anything special. These stone carvings were collected by Mr. Tianchi in the past, and they were inlaid around the yard wall. He whispered: "Sister Ling also knows calligraphy?"
"I learned some! Mr. Tianchi also gave some advice."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Have you seen Brother Du recently? I haven't contacted him for a long time."
Wen Ling frowned when she heard Zhang Yang mention Du Tianye, and a faint coldness appeared in her bright eyes: "Are you familiar with him?" She held back all the things Zhang Yang wanted to say. It seemed that the relationship between the two was not very smooth, and Zhang Yang was too lazy to care about other people's affairs and said embarrassedly: "Sister Ling, look at you, I'll visit Mr. Tianchi."
Wen Ling said: "He should be nothing big!"
Zhang Yang looked at Wen Ling in surprise. The feeling of this fucking sister was getting stranger.
At this time, Luo Huining walked out of the room and saw Zhang Yang, she greeted her happily: "Zhang Yang, you will be here so soon!"
Zhang Yang called out to his godmother affectionately, and then said, "I have been at Dongjiang Party School these days and participated in the Youth Cadre Training Class. The course has basically ended and I am preparing to return to Jiangcheng. Besides, call me, no matter how big I have to let go of my big things."
This guy's mouth is just good at speaking, and Luo Huining smiled and she whispered: "My teacher has been eating poorly since yesterday morning and has become drowsy. The doctors in the hospital have also come to check it out, but they can't find anything wrong. I can't let you come."
Zhang Yang nodded and followed Luo Huining to Mr. Tianchi's bedroom.
Mr. Tianchi was lying on the recliner, with a black air covering his formerly energetic face. His mind was still clear. Seeing Zhang Yang, he nodded with a smile: "Here you come..."
"Hello sir!" Zhang Yang showed great respect to this calligraphy master. He washed his hands and began to check for Mr. Tianchi. What made Zhang Yang strange was that judging from Mr. Tianchi's pulse and symptoms, he must have been poisoned, but after carefully examining his body, he did not find any wounds. Zhang Yang said: "Is there any abnormality in his diet these days?"
Mr. Tianchi shook his head and said, "My diet has always been regular and light, and it is all Wu Ma's responsibility. There should be no problem!"
Zhang Yang got up and walked out the door. Luo Huining followed and said softly: "Zhang Yang, how about it?"
Zhang Yang whispered, "I want to go to the kitchen to have a look!" He came to the kitchen, and Wu Ma, who was responsible for taking care of Mr. Tianchi's daily life, was preparing supper there. Wu Ma has been taking care of Mr. Tianchi for more than ten years, so people can certainly be trusted. Zhang Yang mainly asked what he had eaten in the past two days, and Wu Ma told the situation carefully.
Nothing was noticed from what Wu Ma said. Zhang Yang looked in the kitchen again, with thick eyebrows frowned, and Mr. Tianchi's symptoms were poisoning. Since the dietary factors were basically discharged and the possibility of bitten poisonous insects was eliminated, then there was only one possibility that poisonous gas was inhaled.
Luo Huining saw him searching and was also a little curious and asked in a low voice: "Do you suspect that sir is poisoned?"
Zhang Yang said: "What did Mr. Tianchi do before feeling uncomfortable?"
Luo Huining had not answered yet, and Wu Ma said, "He is practicing boxing!"
Zhang Yang's eyes lit up. Mr. Tianchi's Tai Chi was perfect. This time every morning was his time to practice: "Where should I practice boxing?"
Wu Ma pointed to the southeast corner of the yard: "We have been there recently!"
Zhang Yang walked slowly over. He checked very carefully and searched one by one in the places where Mr. Tianchi often practiced martial arts. Luo Huining didn't understand what Zhang Yang was doing. He shook his head and came to his daughter's side. However, he found Wen Ling's bright eyes looking at Zhang Yang coldly. Luo Huining reached out to pull his daughter's arm, but Wen Ling suddenly dodged away and said coldly: "Don't touch me!"
Luo Huining's daughter's cold attitude made Luo Huining feel sad. Since Wen Ling woke up, her whole body seemed to have completely changed. Even when facing her mother, she did not have any warmth. Although Luo Huining seemed to be nothing on the surface, she didn't know how many tears shed for this behind her back.
Zhang Yang finally discovered something. He found a bouquet of lilac flowers in the flowers around Mr. Tianchi’s practice place. He frowned, looked at the flowers carefully, and broke the branches and leaves. He saw a silver trace below. Although he was a distance, he still smelled the fishy smell. Zhang Yang held his breath, pulled out the silver needle from the needle box, picked a little, and then touched the silver needle on the purple petals. A strange scene appeared. The purple flower instantly changed its color, from purple to red, then from red to pink, and the pink gradually faded, and finally became completely white.
Luo Huining and Wen Ling both saw this amazing scene. Luo Huining exclaimed and wanted to step forward.
Zhang Yang made a gesture to stop them from coming. He searched the grass for a while before he stood up and returned to Luo Huining and said, "Mr. Tianchi was indeed poisoned. This plant is called Mir. Flowers are toxic. The fragrance of flowers is toxic. Every morning to morning is the time when the toxicity is strongest. Mr. Tianchi practices at this time, so he inhales more poisonous gas."
Luo Huining said in surprise: "There is such a thing, but how could such a poisonous flower be there?"
Zhang Yang smiled indifferently and said, "This kind of poisonous flower is rare, but the flower is poisonous, and the antidote is its rhizome!" He went to take a flower shovel and carefully dug up the mirage flower with its roots. The flowers and plants looked very small, but the rhizomes were very large. Zhang Yang took out the rhizomes and handed it to Wu Ma, asking her to use a juicer to juice the rhizomes and then took it to Mr. Tianchi.
Wen Ling looked at everything Zhang Yang did coldly and suddenly asked, "How could this flower grow here?"
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "According to some of the information I have read in the book, there are often poisonous insects where the mirage flowers grow, but I just checked around and there were no traces of poisonous insects appearing."
Wenling yawned: "I'm a little tired, mom, when will we go back?"
Luo Huining said: "You ask Xiao Chen to send you back first, and I will stay and take care of the sir."
Wen Ling nodded and turned around and left. She didn't even say hello to Zhang Yang when she left.
Luo Huining looked at her back and couldn't help but sigh. Since her daughter woke up, she not only did not feel intimate, but felt that the distance between them became increasingly distant. Zhang Yang had already noticed what she was thinking from Luo Huining's expression and comforted softly: "Godmom, time will change everything."
Luo Huining said sadly: "I have been waiting for ten years, and I have been waiting for a daughter who has become a stranger. I don't know how long it will take to wait before she will return to me."
Zhang Yang pondered for a while before saying, "Does Sister Ling often come here recently?"
