Chapter 45

After Zhou Wenwen stayed with Mu Yan for a while, she had to leave for work.

Mu Yan sat beside his mother, feeling a bit bored. He saw a newspaper on the neighboring bed and picked it up to read.

After flipping through it for a while, Mu Yan found two very interesting pieces of news.

One was about the general manager of Huatian Grand Hotel and others, who were charged with embezzlement, bribery, sexual assault of hotel female employees, and providing a venue for prostitution, among other crimes, totaling over ten charges.

Mu Yan knew without thinking that since Zhang Zixuan had an incident at the hotel, the hotel would not have a good time. However, he also understood that since the general manager was caught, he probably did not know much. As for any other secret information, it would not be published in the newspaper.

In addition to this, there was another piece of news about Zhang Huangyan, the newly appointed deputy director of the district bureau. Upon taking office, he launched a vigorous crackdown on criminal organizations, uprooting the Qingfeng Gang, which had been entrenched in the district. He seized over three kilograms of various drugs, as well as several handguns, long knives, and other weapons. The leaders of the Qingfeng Gang, Wu Ming and Wu Qingfeng, were arrested on charges of murder, sexual assault, drug trafficking, kidnapping, and robbery, among others.

Mu Yan clearly remembered that when he saved Chu Qingqing, the little girl said her mother was the vice mayor. Now, the only female vice mayor in Donghai City is Zhang Zixuan, and her nominal husband is indeed from the Chu family. This made Mu Yan believe that Chu Qingqing must be Zixuan's daughter, though Zixuan is only the little girl's stepmother.

The last time they parted, it was a bit rushed, and he didn't ask Zixuan what department she was in charge of. He wasn't sure if the education system was enough, but no matter what, he would definitely make that Fang guy pay a heavy price.

Mu Fangfang woke up just before dusk and saw her son by her bedside.

Seeing her son, Mu Fangfang felt a pang in her heart, and her eyes turned red.

Mu Yan, seeing his mother like this, immediately said, "Mom, don't be sad. Don't worry, I'll handle this. If you like teaching, I'll let you stay at the school. If you don't, you can stay at home or do anything you like."

"Xiaoyan, I like teaching, but I'm more worried about you. Now that I've lost my job, it will be hard for me to help you and Wenwen buy a house. I..."

"Mom, are you worried about our future life? Don't worry, your son is capable! By the way, the company is going to appoint me as a manager soon. My monthly salary will be at least five figures, and with the year-end bonus, I'll earn at least 200,000 to 300,000 a year!" Mu Yan said to comfort his mother.

Mu Fangfang knew her son was comforting her and smiled wisely, "Xiaoyan, I know you're comforting me, but don't say silly things. You've only been at the company for a few days; how could they make you a manager?"

"It's true. The HR manager has already talked to me. I'll be officially appointed by the end of the year!" Mu Yan said seriously.

Mu Yan knew that his mother's fainting was more due to mental stress. Seeing her worry about him and Wenwen, he understood that she was afraid that without an income, their family would not be a match for Wenwen's family.

Seeing Mu Yan speak so convincingly, Mu Fangfang believed him, though she didn't know why her son would be promoted so quickly, she chose to trust him.

With this good news, Mu Fangfang felt much better and smiled faintly, "Well! I was planning that if things got really tough and Wenwen's family looked down on us, I would swallow my pride and ask that ungrateful man for help. I believe you are his son, so he would definitely handle this!"

Although her mother was gentle, she had a stubborn side. After the old man chose a family-arranged marriage and left her, she never accepted any help from him until he got into trouble. This time, for his marriage, she was willing to ask him again, showing that she really had no other choice. It also showed how much she valued Wenwen, as she was determined to have this daughter-in-law.

After staying in the hospital for a night, Mu Fangfang was fine, so Mu Yan sent her home to rest.

After returning home, Mu Fangfang urged her son to stop taking leave since the company valued him so much. Mu Yan couldn't argue with his mother and finally agreed to go back to work.

However, after leaving home, Mu Yan immediately went to the district police station.

Without Zhang Huangyan's phone number, Mu Yan called him at the gate. Upon hearing that Mu Yan had come, Zhang Huangyan immediately sent someone to bring him in. If it weren't for the fact that his presence would cause too much of a stir, he would have welcomed Mu Yan personally.

In the office, Zhang Huangyan sent everyone out, closed the door, and offered Mu Yan a cigarette, lighting it for him before smiling and asking, "Mr. Mu, what brings you here?"

"Oh! There is indeed something, but my identity makes it difficult for me to act, so I'm here to ask for your help!" Mu Yan said.

"Mr. Mu, it's an honor for me to help you!" Zhang Huangyan was excited. After handling matters for Mayor Zhang, his name quickly appeared in the Donghai City newspapers, and he was praised as a model.

Mu Yan sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said, "The two things you did for Zixuan were good, so I came to you. This matter also involves her, but I don't want her to worry, so please don't tell her for now. I'll tell her myself when there's progress."

"Oh! I understand!" Zhang Huangyan immediately nodded in agreement.

"Do you know that Zixuan has a daughter studying at No. 7 High School?" Mu Yan thought that since he had led the raid on the Qingfeng Gang, he should know.

Sure enough, he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he knew, Mu Yan continued, "I have some unverified information that someone might be targeting Qingqing. I want you to send someone to protect her at school. Just at school; others will handle the rest. Also, I suspect there might be issues with the school's leadership, so please investigate thoroughly."

"Oh! Someone dares to target Mayor Zhang's daughter. I will handle this matter properly, and I will investigate the school's leadership thoroughly!" Zhang Huangyan immediately agreed.

"Good. You know my identity is sensitive, so this must be done secretly. If you have any problems or find it difficult, you can tell me, and I'll find someone else," Mu Yan said.

"Mr. Mu, rest assured, I will not disappoint you!" Zhang Huangyan, seeing Mu Yan's words, immediately promised with a thump on his chest.

In the temple, there was an old monk who said to a young monk: Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and in the mountain, there was a temple. In the temple, there was an old monk who said to a young monk: Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and in the mountain, there was a temple. In the temple, there was an old monk who said to a young monk: "If you don't collect the book and don't vote, go and copy the Diamond Sutra a hundred times!"
