"I haven't done anything wrong!"
But on the other side.
Zhao Donglai ignored him completely and left the station with Chen Yanshi.

And on the other side.
Beijing.
A black sedan with license plate number 京A·00005 arrived in Beijing amidst a large number of vehicles.
The back seat of the vehicle.
Mu Chen leaned back in his comfortable chair.
Close your eyes and rest your mind.
In order to present a satisfactory report to the President, Mu Chen devoted a great deal of effort to compiling all the results into a single report.
But just as Mu Chen arrived in the capital.
A phone call came through.
"Xiao Chen, the Commander-in-Chief has been very busy lately, but he values meeting with you very much."
"I deliberately turned down some less important things."
"Your meeting with the President is tentatively scheduled for three days from now. In the meantime, you can enjoy yourself and explore the capital."
"Speaking of which, every time you come to the capital, it's always in a rush. You come and leave immediately, without having time to see anything."
"My secretary will take care of all your affairs in the capital."
Mu Chen sat in the back seat.
nodded.
He said, "It just so happens that I haven't visited Elder Zhao in a long time."
"I still have to go see them this time I'm in Beijing."
On the other end of the phone.
A hearty laugh rang out, and someone said, "You brat, aren't you going to start calling me father-in-law?"
"They had their daughter late in life, and they cherish this precious daughter very much."
"But you managed to steal it away."
"If you dare to start something and then abandon it, you'll be in big trouble."
"I think once you've finished with your business there, you should come to the capital and have a proper wedding. I'll be your witness!"
The "Old Zhao" that Mu Chen mentioned was none other than Zhao Mengsheng, who had already retired!
Zhao Mengsheng was born in the 1950s and is now in his sixties or seventies. In order to make room for younger cadres, the cadre system is being upgraded.
He retired a few years ago.
Although he has retired, his prestige remains undiminished, and he is still a pivotal figure among the higher-ups.
"Just wait a little longer..."
"The current situation is that they are using soft knives to bleed us, but we will tell them."
"They can't control us, whether they use force or soft tactics!"
Mu Chen's tone was heavy.
The person on the other end of the phone also let out a heavy sigh.
"The problem needs to be solved."
"But we can't rush it, we have to do it one at a time."
"be prepared."
"The organization has come to test you!"
Mu Chen looked serious.
nodded.
They exchanged a few more words and then hung up the phone.
And at the same time.
The vehicle has arrived at its destination, the Beijing International Hotel.
The vehicle came to a steady stop.
Mu Chen got out of the car, and outside the car, two familiar figures appeared in front of him.
It was Zhao Zisheng and Zhao Ziqing, a brother and sister!
Although they had gone to Handong with Mu Chen before, Mu Chen was busy with other matters and didn't have much time.
So Zhao Zisheng and Zhao Ziqing returned to the capital.
"You've finally arrived!"
"It's far from Handong to the capital!"
"You have no idea, my Ziqing has been waiting anxiously for this for ages!"
"If you don't come soon, she'll turn into a statue waiting for her husband!"
Zhao Zisheng joked.
Hearing Zhao Zisheng say this, Zhao Ziqing blushed and glared at him fiercely.
Then he looked at Mu Chen.
His eyes were full of tenderness.
After Mu Chen got out of the car, his expression changed from serious to lighthearted.
"Oh, right."
"Haven't you resolved things in Handong yet?"
"Why did you suddenly return to the capital?"
Zhao Zisheng was curious about what could possibly make Mu Chen ignore the affairs of Handong.
Did you make a special trip back to Beijing?
P.S.: I was going to finish writing Chapter 3 but then realized I wasn't happy with the plot, so I had to start over. Please look forward to it!
Chapter 158 Listen up! My dad is Li Shanhe!
This must be a very important matter!
Otherwise, Mu Chen would never have run around so easily. As someone who knew a little bit about it, Zhao Zisheng knew that the task given to Mu Chen by his superiors was very important!
The current state of Handong is far from meeting the requirements assigned to Mu Chen by his superiors!
So Mu Chen is probably alright.
They certainly won't return to the capital.
Could it be that something went wrong over there?
Zhao Zisheng suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at Mu Chen with some worry.
But on the other side.
Mu Chen noticed Zhao Zisheng's worry, but simply smiled calmly.
He said, "I can't tell you why I'm going back to the capital. If you find out, you'll be in big trouble."
"But don't worry."
"The matter is indeed important, but it's not a bad thing."
"I should be going back to Handong in a few days."
Hearing Mu Chen say that.
Zhao Ziqing and Zhao Zisheng were finally relieved.
"That's good."
"Let's go, tonight is your welcome dinner."
"Let me show you some authentic Beijing cuisine!"
Zhao Zisheng led the way in high spirits.
Mu Chen, standing behind, twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Zhao Ziqing, and asked with great confusion, "If I remember correctly..."
"In Beijing, the words 'authentic' and 'delicious' don't really go together, do they?"
If you want something authentic, it has to be fermented mung bean juice.
