Many people had come.

However, during this time, one person hadn't shown up.

That was Zhong Xiqian.

During this process, Chen Fang had called Zhong Xiqian several times, but every time the reply was that the phone was switched off.

He had been recuperating at home for a whole month.

The wound on his shoulder was nearly healed.

In recent times, Chen Fang had been engaging in rehabilitative training, and after a thorough examination by Yu Zhengchuan, it was also determined that there were no major issues.

The so-called no official duties, no burdens.

During these days away from the official scene,

Chen Fang was rather at leisure.

The first thing he did every morning upon waking up was to follow the progress of the Shendong Group case.

As the investigation of this biggest smuggling case in history deepened,

the official scene in Yong'an Province also experienced an unprecedented major earthquake.

The first to fall was the Political and Legal Committee Secretary Dai Peng.

Following his downfall, a series of key figures in systems such as political and legal affairs, the prosecutor's office, customs, and taxation were also implicated and stepped down, including Zheng Chang, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee of the neighboring province, who was also arrested.

Of course, Zheng Yingdong didn't escape this calamity either.

At the same time,

the massacre of the Fan Family was revisited and unearthed.

According to Zheng Chang's confession, after unsuccessful negotiations with Fan Zhongkuan, he left the Fan residence and called in the "assassin" he had already prepared to kill the entire Fan family.

Years later,

this case was excavated again, causing a tremendous shock.

The story of Fan Xian risking her life to infiltrate the Zheng Family to search for clues over many years was also leaked by someone, sparking discussions over tea and meals among the public.

At that moment,

Fan Xian also became famously associated with this case.

A few days ago,

the City Organization Department made a decision to relieve Fan Xian of her duties as Jinde County Party Secretary, transferring her to Wen'an City to take up the position of Committee Member, Standing Committee Member, and Organization Department Director.

Thus, Fan Xian stepped into a vice-departmental level position of substantial authority.

Secondly, Xu Lianyun's job also saw a minor shift.

Leaving the City Organization Department, she took up the position of District Chief in the Lake City District of Wen'an City.

Another one was Wen Mei.

Wen Mei was promoted up half a level and took up the position of Political Commissar at the Jinde County Public Security Bureau.

She was also the first female political commissar in the history of the Jinde County Public Security Bureau, and at the same time, the youngest political commissar.

Chen Fang knew

these people were not the "masterminds" who had broken the Shendong Group smuggling case. The reason for their promotions was also to silence them so that the issues with Qingquan Villa could be buried forever.

Soon,

time reached New Year's Day.

Chen Fang was cleaning his house in Changming County.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Fang opened the door and was immediately stunned. After a moment of astonishment, he quickly said, "Mr. Qin, what brings you here?"

Standing at the door was none other than Qin Ye.

Behind Qin Ye, dressed in casual clothes, was Qinshi Mingyue.

"What? Not welcome?"

Qin Ye asked with a smile.

Then Chen Fang came back to his senses and said, "What are you saying? Welcome, of course, welcome. Please, come in."

With the help of Mingyue,

the two of them entered.

As soon as Qin Ye walked into the living room, he exclaimed, "Your house is quite big, isn't it? Must have cost quite a bit, right?"

The house in Changming County that Chen Fang occupied had been originally gifted to Qi Kexin by Zhang Cheng.

When Qi Kexin left, she had given it to Chen Fang to live in.

Chen Fang quickly explained, "I don't have a house; this apartment belongs to a friend who is letting me stay here temporarily."

Only then did Qin Ye nod.

After sitting down on the sofa,

Chen Fang quickly started to make tea.

Suddenly, Qinshi Mingyue came over and said, "Let me make the tea, you chat with Grandpa."

"You know how to make tea?"

Chen Fang asked in surprise.

One must know that before Mingyue met Chen Fang, despite being beautiful, she lacked any feminine charm. Not to mention making tea, she wore nothing but military uniforms, but today, she was wearing a very tasteful wool coat and looked beautiful.

Mingyue had yet to reply.

Qin Ye said with a chuckle, "Our Mingyue, ah, has changed a lot since she met you. Not only can she make tea now, but she can also give massages. Now that's what I call a young lady."

"Grandpa, stop teasing me."

Mingyue said playfully.

Her coquettish behavior made Qin Ye even more delighted, finally having a proper "granddaughter."

He asked, "Chen Fang, I want to ask you something, how did you manage to turn our girl into this?"

Upon being asked this,

Chen Fang's mind buzzed.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Looking at Mingyue, who was lowering her head, her face flushed with red.

He surely couldn't tell the old man that on the first day his granddaughter was entrusted to him, he had "executed the law on the spot," could he?

His mind racing,

he said, "Uh... I actually didn't do much. I just took her to experience many things that she never experienced in her childhood. You raised her like a boy, so naturally, she has the character of a boy. If you treat her like a girl, then naturally, she becomes gentle as water."

"Well, I know, we owe Mingyue a lot for her childhood. Let's not talk about that anymore. How about it, have you been feeling bored staying at home recently?"

The topic finally changed.

Chen Fang quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

He quickly said, "It's alright, but living alone, life is still pretty monotonous."

Qin Ye nodded.

He said, "The Shendong Group smuggling case has now been settled. The necessary penalties have been handed down, the needed investigations are complete. Except for someone called Hua Limo who hasn't been caught, everyone else has been dealt with. The next step is the trial, which shouldn't impact you. So this time I'm here to notify you that you can start preparing to work again."

"Work? Where am I working?"

Chen Fang asked.

Qin Ye thought for a moment and said, "You can no longer stay in Ansheng Province, and I won't explain the reasons. However, this is also a blessing in disguise. It's time to step out of this circle and look around. Going elsewhere and growing like a tree before coming back is not too late."

"Are you saying I should leave the province?"

Chen Fang asked.

Qin Ye nodded.

He said, "As the saying goes, 'send Buddha to the west, help people to the end.' I was the one who had you resign initially, so when it comes to your reinstatement, I must also take it seriously. How about Jiangdong Province?"

"Jiangdong Province?"

Chen Fang said, astonished.

Busy at work, Qinshi Mingyue said, "My grandfather had an old subordinate who, after transferring to civilian work, went to Jiangdong Province and is now the Party Secretary of Wulan City."

"You're not going to Wulan City proper but to Guyang City, which is a county-level city under Wulan City."

Qin Ye said.

"What position will I hold?"

Chen Fang asked.

Qin Ye said, "Head of City Organization Department."

Chen Fang had never worked in the Organization Department, but he believed he could fulfill the duties.

After a pause, he said, "Alright, I'll go!"

Qin Ye said with a smiling face, "I knew you would go."

After speaking, he glanced at Qinshi Mingyue.

Mingyue opened the bag she was carrying, took out a document, and said, "Here, this is your transfer order."

Chen Fang was just about to take the transfer order.

Qin Ye said, "Before you go, there's one more thing I need to tell you. The political environment in Jiangdong Province is even more complex than in Ansheng Province. As all your networking has been in Ansheng Province, it means that Jiangdong Province is a completely new environment for you. Don't go there and create trouble because I won't help you if you do. Do you understand?"
