Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 150 Having Breakfast

"Whether Zhou Yang is involved or not, we can investigate separately. For now, let’s vote on the proposal for Zhou Yang to serve as Police Chief," Leng Junsheng directly interrupted Hao Dong’s speech, not giving others the chance to discuss Zhou Yang. If Lin Feng was the one who did this, it couldn’t be possible that he left any loopholes. Let them investigate if they want, as they won’t find any issues with Zhou Yang anyway. It’s better to pass the proposal for Zhou Yang to serve as Police Chief immediately than to waste time."

"I agree with the Mayor’s view. Comrade Zhou Yang’s capabilities are very strong on their own, and with the direction of public opinion this time, it makes perfect sense for Comrade Zhou Yang to take over Comrade Liu Jilong’s duties," Xu Mingtao immediately seconded Mayor Leng’s statement upon hearing it. Everything from yesterday flashed before his eyes – Mayor Leng was clearly supporting Zhou Yang’s ascent to power!

"I also agree with the Mayor’s view. Comrade Zhou Yang is the most suitable candidate to take over as Police Chief!" Chen Guoli firmly supported Leng Junsheng. As a staunch member of Leng Junsheng’s camp, he unconditionally backed all of Leng Junsheng’s decisions.

"I agree as well."

"Agree."

...

The thirteen standing committee members again unanimously approved Leng Junsheng’s proposal with nine votes!

"Well then, let’s conclude today’s meeting. Report to the higher-level party organizations to remove all of Comrade Liu Jilong’s positions, and for Zhou Yang to take over as Police Chief! Now, Comrade Liu Jilong should make a public self-criticism and apologize immediately!" Although Feng Luping was extremely reluctant, he had no choice, as he had been sidelined at the committee meeting; no one supported anything he wanted to do. This time, he had truly lost disastrously. It seemed he had no other option but to seek help from higher up!

"Meeting adjourned!" Feng Luping said helplessly. This situation was something he had never dreamed of. Now that Leng Junsheng had revealed his trump card, what path should he take in the future?

Upon hearing Feng Luping say this, Leng Junsheng was the first to leave the conference room. The other standing committee members followed suit, leaving the room one by one after Leng Junsheng, leaving only four people who were allied with the Liu Family’s influence behind in the vast conference room – it was too desolate!

In the end, Feng Luping also gave a shake of his hand, signaling for the others to go, and let himself calm down. He needed to organize his thoughts on how to proceed. Otherwise, he would always remain under Leng Junsheng’s shadow, never able to raise his head...

When Leng Junsheng arrived at the door of his own office, he unexpectedly saw Zhou Yang and gestured for him to come into the office for a talk.

"Was all this morning’s work done by Lin Feng?" Leng Junsheng directly asked Zhou Yang. Although he could guess it was Lin Feng’s doing, he still wanted to get a definite answer from Zhou Yang. If it really was confirmed that Lin Feng did it himself, then thinking of him as just a genius was an understatement. Such meticulous planning... This was not simply the idea of a genius.

Coming up with such a complex scheme – just how did his brain work? If Lin Feng were to enter politics, I’m sure no one could outplay him. Everything was calculated so precisely by him. With such planning ability, he was simply a natural-born leader!

Now, it’s just very strange, how many more cards does Lin Feng have up his sleeve that haven’t been revealed, and how many unknown abilities!

"Of course, it’s him – who else could it be!" Zhou Yang answered Mayor Leng directly, feeling more and more fortunate to have encountered Lin Feng. He hadn’t expected that a phone call from his older brother Wang Anjun would change his career path so drastically, something he’d never even dreamed of!

After hearing Zhou Yang’s words, Leng Junsheng fell silent again, lost in thought about Lin Feng.

Just what kind of person was Lin Feng, after all? I had not failed to investigate, but the information available revealed only that Lin Feng was once a notorious playboy who disappeared for five years. His parents had sold their original business to search for him, and he had only returned to Tianhai a few months ago, now working under Leng Mei as a French teacher.

But that made it even more mysterious. A once notorious playboy had disappeared for five years and somehow learned a foreign language skill that even Meimei greatly admired, and had reached a level in Chinese medicine akin to Uncle Chen’s national skill. Moreover, now he had this superhuman control. How is one to understand this? No one can understand it!

What exactly happened to Lin Feng during those five years to cause such a drastic change?

...

General Hospital of the Military Region, Inpatient Department.

Lin Yiwen and Zhang Lan went early in the morning with fruits and gifts to visit Lin Dongchen. Lin Feng had told them last night when he got home that Lin Dongchen had been beaten up and hospitalized, which gave them quite a scare. They were from the same village and wanted to go check on him upon knowing the situation, so the two decided to visit first thing in the morning.

After inquiring along the way, they found Lin Dongchen’s ward. As soon as they entered the room, both were startled by the scene before them – was this really Lin Dongchen? Apart from his face, his whole body was bandaged up like a mummy; the injuries seemed too severe. Who could have dealt such a heavy blow?

"Dongchen, what on earth happened? We didn’t believe it when Lin Feng told us that you were hospitalized yesterday!" Lin Yiwen was the first to ask. He simply couldn’t fathom how Lin Dongchen could have been beaten to such an extent; by the looks of it, it was already quite fortunate that he was alive.

"Yes, how could the injury be so severe? Who could be so heartless to strike with such ferocity?" Zhang Lan was truly startled when she saw Lin Dongchen’s condition. It was far too serious—it looked like he would need quite some time to recover!

"Yiwen, sister-in-law, you’re here! Please, have a seat!" Liu Li was filled with surprise upon the arrival of the Lin Yiwen couple, having not expected them to be the first to visit her husband. What was going on, and why them? Regardless, they had come to see her husband, and it was only right and proper to welcome them warmly. She hurried to invite Lin Yiwen and his wife to sit down and talk.

"Yiwen, sister-in-law!" Lin Dongchen truly hadn’t expected the first people to visit him would be the Lin Yiwen couple. Back in Lin Yiwen’s own home, how he and his wife had treated them... Now, thinking about it made his own face burn with shame. Yet today, knowing he was in trouble, they rushed over to see him. This was the difference between people!

Upon this reflection, Lin Dongchen’s eyes couldn’t help but moisten. He had not expected the Lin Yiwen couple to be so magnanimous. He had been so excessive in the past, and it was only because of this accident that he had come to see things more clearly. Only now did he understand who were true relatives, and what it meant to be a decent person.

"Please tell us, how is Dongchen now, and what exactly happened?" Lin Yiwen and Zhang Lan were anxious about Lin Dongchen’s physical condition and even more eager to know the reason behind his battered state.

"Dongchen’s condition is stable now, he just needs rest. As for the reason he was beaten, let me explain..." Liu Li recounted the incident that led to Lin Dongchen’s beating through tears, and by the end, she was sobbing uncontrollably.

"Ah, so that’s what happened!" After hearing Liu Li’s account, Lin Yiwen was immensely relieved about Lin Dongchen’s actions. A man might be forgiven for being somewhat self-serving, but if he fails in his duty as a father, he doesn’t deserve the title. Fortunately, Lin Dongchen stood up when it mattered, fulfilling his responsibility as a father. That made him still a good father, and it was comforting to know that Lin Jie had such a father. In today’s world, there were far too many people willing to sacrifice their children for personal gain, but not Lin Dongchen, and that was truly commendable.

Even if such a person was opportunistic, he was definitely not a bad person, because these actions are deeply ingrained, impossible to erase!

"There’s no need to be sad, things will get better!" Zhang Lan also held Liu Li’s hand, consoling her. There was no helping such events, but it was a relief that Lin Dongchen’s life was not in danger; otherwise, what would happen to Liu Li and Lin Jie!

"Liu Li, quick... get them some water to drink." After hearing their conversation, Lin Dongchen immediately asked his wife to pour water for the Lin Yiwen couple. They couldn’t let their guests go thirsty!

"Oh, right! I was so caught up talking that I forgot to offer you water!" Liu Li, upon her husband’s reminder, also realized her oversight and quickly got up to busy herself with pouring water.

"No need, we are not thirsty. Don’t be so formal."

"Just rest, please. You’d better save your energy to take care of Dongchen. We are fine."

"How can that be? You are guests after all."

"How long did the doctor say Dongchen’s recovery will take?"

"We don’t know yet! Probably about two months, or so they said, depending on how his recovery progresses."

"How is the situation with the company?"

...

Seeing the Lin Yiwen couple, the Lin Dongchen couple was also very happy. It was a pleasure for both families to chat together, even if the conversation was simple.

While they were chatting, Lin Jie came in with breakfast from outside.

"Mom and Dad, it’s time for breakfast!" Lin Jie called out to her parents to eat as soon as she entered, and upon seeing Lin Yiwen and his wife, she was so surprised she didn’t know what to say.

"Uncle, auntie, why are you here? When did you arrive? Have you eaten?" Lin Jie, filled with joy, approached Zhang Lan and took her hand, asking softly. However, she hadn’t noticed her own appearance; since Lin Dongchen’s accident, she hadn’t rested, her hair was disheveled, her eyes red—clear signs of severe lack of rest, a very haggard look.

"We haven’t been here long. Last night, Lin Feng told us your dad had been hospitalized, so your uncle and I came early in the morning to check on you. Look at you, such a mess," Zhang Lan said, holding Lin Jie’s hand and feeling relieved looking at her disheveled appearance. She knew without asking that this state was a result of staying by her father’s side, that such a beautiful girl had become like this. She’s truly a caring and kind-hearted girl; whoever marries her will be incredibly lucky.

"Lin Jie, ask your parents to eat. We’ve already eaten before coming. Don’t worry about us," Lin Yiwen said, happy to see Lin Jie so kind and sensible. The girl had been pretty since she was young and had grown up even more beautiful. Now seeing her so kindhearted, he wondered who would marry her in the future! If possible, having her as his daughter-in-law would be wonderful. With these thoughts, he grew even more fond of Lin Jie.
