After splitting up, Zhao Sen hurriedly looked for a reason to leave. Not to mention the fact he had spent a few thousand yuan for the meal, it had become an apology on a certain level. He seldom encountered such incidents that made him lose his face. There was a rage in his stomach. If he were to stay longer, he would probably suffer from internal injuries.

“Are you going to let this matter slip just like that?” Wei Hei asked.

“Forget it. He’s just making money and running errands,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

The key thing was that Zhao Sen had yet to cause any harm to Wang Yao’s family.

Seeking revenge for the smallest grievance was not the way to do it, nor did it match Wang Yao’s character.

“Anyway, Zhao Sen’s body isn’t in very good condition,” Wang Yao said.

“Huh? Really? He drank quite coolly just now.”

“It’s quite cool, but that’s just the appearance. If this continues, he’ll vomit blood within two months,” Wang Yao answered.

Wang Yao had paid a little attention to Zhao Sen from the time he saw him. Wang Yao discovered that he had hidden illnesses in his body that were quite serious.

“Oh?” Song Hu, who did not leave, looked at the young man in front of him with a strange look.

Song Hu had vaguely discovered a problem when Wang Yao came in with Wei Hai. He realized that Director Wei seemed to care a lot about this young man and had much respect for him. This showed that the identity of this young man was not ordinary.

Wang Yao turned around and said to Song Hu, “Thank you, Brother Hu.”

“I don’t deserve it,” Song Hu hurriedly replied. “Dr. Wang, if you need any help in the future, just let me know.”

Song Hu still had to depend on Wei Hai to earn a living. He had to be extra careful for now.

The three of them talked while going downstairs. They happened to meet someone who was walking toward them.

“Hello, Dr. Wang,” the person took the initiative to greet Wang Yao.

“Hello, Secretary Li.” Wang Yao greeted him with a smile.

Wang Yao had met him a few times. He was the secretary of the Municipal Party Secretary, Yang Haichuan.

“Who’s this?” Wei Hai did not know Secretary Li, but Song Hu had seen him before.

“Are you here for a meal?” Secretary Li asked Wang Yao.

“Yes, we’ve eaten.”

After a few words of courtesy, they went their separate ways.

“Who was that?” Song Hu asked, although he knew the answer.

“He’s Secretary Li. He works in the Municipal Party,” Wang Yao replied.

Sure enough, it’s him!

“Municipal Party?” Wei Hai was startled. “You know all sorts of people.”

“I’ve seen him a few times only,” Wang Yao responded truthfully.

After that, he bade Wei Hai and Song Hu goodbye. He then drove back to Lianshan County.

“Director Wei, Secretary Li is the secretary of the Municipal Party Secretary.”

“Municipal Party Secretary?” Wei Hai was startled.

“Yes.”

“Oh,” Wei Hai responded calmly.

Eh, that was the Municipal Party Secretary. Why is your expression so composed? Song Hu was surprised on the inside. Could it be that he had known about it in advance?

Wei Hai did not know about the relationship between Wang Yao and the Municipal Party Secretary. However, he knew that Wang Yao had gone to Jing some time ago to treat the illness of a mogul. The Municipal Party Secretary of a city was incomparable to a mogul.

After having a few words with Song Hu, Wei Hai made a move to leave.

Next, he had to wait for the news from He Qisheng’s side.

…

When Wang Yao returned home in the afternoon, he unexpectedly discovered that his sister was back.

“What’s going on? Is your unit on a break?”

“Nothing. I suddenly received a notice to go to Ji for training,” Wang Ru replied.

“Ji? When?” Wang Yao could not help but give it a second thought. At this time, it was Ji out of all places.

“I’m going on Friday.”

“Is anyone else from your unit going as well?”

“It’s just me,” Wang Ru responded.

“Have you agreed?”

“No. I even specifically inquired about it. I’m the only one from Haiqu. I think this is a bit strange, but I’ve called the provincial office. The provincial Agriculture Department did organize a training course, but most of the people are transferred from places like Ji and Dao,” Wang Ru replied. This was also the reason why she did not agree immediately.

Do the gods bless her so much that they named her as the one they wanted?

“They named you as the one they wanted?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s weird. Have you been in contact with any high-ranking government officials lately?”

“No. The highest-ranking officer whom I’ve been in contact with is the chief of our department. Is he capable of doing this?”

“Definitely not.”

“Do you think I should go?”

“Wait. I’ll ask someone to inquire about it.”

Wang Yao then gave He Qisheng a call and explained the situation. He Qisheng said that he would return Wang Yao’s call that day.

“My friend will get back to me soon.”

He Qisheng called near evening.

“There’s such a training course in the provincial office. Haiqu has three slots. Your sister’s name was not included originally. Someone added it at the last minute.”

“Who?”

“The chief of the Agriculture Department in charge of the training.”

“Did someone notify him?” Wang Yao asked quickly.

“There was.”

“Who is it?”

“Li Yaosheng.”

“What’s his relationship with Li Shaoyang?”

“He’s Li Shaoyang’s father.”

Wang Yao laughed.

After seeing Wang Yao coming out from the room, Wang Ru hurriedly asked, “How is it?”

“This is a trap. You’re being used as a bait.”

“To lure you?”

“Yes.” Wang Yao nodded.

“What should I do then?”

“Reject it.”

If it was in Haiqu, Wang Yao could turn the tables around. However, it was in Ji. He had no reliable external assistance to rely on. Ji was the Li family’s territory. He could not let his sister be exposed to any danger, even if it was just a possibility.

“Okay. Who did you offend?” Wang Ru asked.

“A scum.”

“A scum? Didn’t you teach him a lesson?”

“I’m too soft-hearted,” Wang Yao sighed softly.

“Employ brutal tactics with a heart of gold,” Wang Ru said in apparent seriousness while making a fist.

Wang Yao was quite surprised and exclaimed, “Wow, I really can’t tell!”

“Okay, I’m not going to chat with you. Get ready to eat.”

Wang Yao was also thinking about the matter while he was eating. There were obviously enmity and malice between Wang Yao and the Li family. The Li family would not give up just like this. Although Wang Yao was in Haiqu, which was beyond the Li family’s reach, as the saying went, it was easy to dodge an open spear thrust, but it was difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. The Li family might be coming up with some evil ideas. Wang Yao was considering if he should take the initiative to make a move.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing. I’ll teach the scum a lesson thoroughly and solve this problem,” Wang Yao replied bluntly.

“Don’t do anything illegal.”

“Don’t worry. I know.”

After lunch, Wang Yao left his house and went up Nanshan Hill.

It was already near the end of the heat. Moreover, it had rained several times in a row in the past few days, so the weather was cool.

Sitting in the courtyard with the dog by his side, Wang Yao looked at the sky.

“San Xian, if someone keeps trying to frame you, what should you do?”

Woof, woof. San Xian gnashed his teeth.

“Bite him? Yes. Let him be hurt and let him be afraid,” Wang Yao said calmly.

“Being in a high position in the Health Bureau, he must be hiding something shady,” Wang Yao mumbled softly to himself.

Li Shaoyang alone could not create a storm. It was his family who gave him such an ability. It was his father.

I’ll start with him!

…

In the Agriculture Department in Lianshan County.

“What? You’re not going?” The higher-up in the department was surprised. It was a golden opportunity to go to Ji. One might only be able to come across this opportunity once in a few years. The higher-ups even personally appointed her this time, yet she rejected it.

“Yes. I have some personal matters. The training will take more than 10 days. It’s better to give this opportunity to someone who’s more capable,” Wang Ru said in an upright manner.

“Alright. You can leave.”

“Thank you, Chief.”

The old chief waved his hand.

…

In Ji.

“What? She rejected?”

“Yes. She said that she has some personal matters.”

“What a coincidence. Could it be that she has heard some rumors?”

“It’s impossible. This is Ji, not City. Moreover, Lao Sun was the only one who knew about this, and I’ve exhorted him. He still thinks Wang Ru is our relative.”

“Forget it. Put this matter aside for now,” Li Yaosheng said.

“Are we going to let this matter slip just like that?” Li Shaoyang was not happy. He had just managed to think of a way.
