Official excuse: I was sent to work at the grassroots level for training, and Hou Liangping arrested

Page 192

Lin Yunfei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Dad, I understand. Don't worry too much, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yunfei paced back and forth in the corridor outside the delivery room, glancing at the closed door of the delivery room from time to time, his heart filled with worry and anticipation.

He recalled his childhood sweethearts with Zhao Lan, the bits and pieces of their relationship since they first met, from their initial encounter to their current companionship and the imminent arrival of their child, and his heart was filled with emotion.

After a while, the sound of a baby crying came from the delivery room. Lin Yunfei was immediately energized and rushed to the door of the delivery room.

A moment later, a nurse came out carrying a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and said to Lin Yunfei with a smile, "Congratulations, it's a big, healthy boy. Mother and child are safe and sound."

Lin Yunfei's eyes welled up with tears. He carefully took the child, looking at the wrinkled yet incredibly cute little face, his heart filled with tenderness. He gently said to the child, "From now on, you are Daddy's little darling."

After a while, Zhao Lan was also wheeled out of the delivery room. She looked a little pale, but when she saw Lin Yunfei and the baby, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Lin Yunfei quickly walked to her side and took her hand: "Lanlan, you've worked hard. Our son is very cute."

Zhao Lan smiled weakly: "It's not hard work. Seeing him makes it all worthwhile."

Looking at Zhao Lan and the child, Lin Yunfei secretly vowed to work hard to give them a better life and protect this warm little family.

Half an hour later, Liu Ruyan rushed into the obstetrics and gynecology department, grabbed a nurse at the nurses' station, and urgently asked, "Nurse, I'm asking you, where is my daughter-in-law Zhao Lan? In which ward?"

The nurse looked up and saw a middle-aged woman with an extraordinary demeanor. She quickly smiled and replied, "Are you Ms. Zhao Lan's family member? She's in room 302. She just gave birth, and both mother and child are safe and sound."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. After thanking him repeatedly, she hurriedly rushed to ward 302.

Pushing open the ward door, she immediately saw Zhao Lan lying on the hospital bed and Lin Yunfei holding a child beside her.

"Lanlan, my good daughter-in-law, you've worked so hard!" Liu Ruyan walked quickly to the bedside, gently held Zhao Lan's hand, her eyes full of love and care.

When Zhao Lan saw her mother-in-law arrive, she gave a weak smile: "Mom, you're here... I'm fine. Look, this is your grandson."

As she spoke, she gestured for Lin Yunfei to bring the child to Liu Ruyan to see.

Liu Ruyan carefully took the child, looking at the tiny bundle with its wrinkled little face, her heart filled with love: "Oh my, this little guy is so handsome, just like Yunfei when he was little."

Lin Yunfei smiled and said, "Mom, don't praise him. You'll have to teach him more in the future."

Liu Ruyan held the child, unable to put him down, and kept saying, "Good, good, good, from now on, I, as the grandma, will have to take good care of my grandson."

The family's laughter and joy filled the hospital ward, a scene of warmth and happiness.

At the same time, Zhao Mengsheng, accompanied by four bodyguards, arrived at the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in four Hongqi sedans.

He was overjoyed to learn that his daughter Zhao Lan had given birth to a grandson.

Zhao Mengsheng strode into the hospital, his face beaming with undisguised joy, repeatedly saying, "I'm a grandfather! I'm a grandfather!"

When he arrived at the ward door, he straightened his clothes slightly, then gently knocked on the door. After receiving permission, he pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as he entered, he saw the child being held in Liu Ruyan's arms. His eyes lit up instantly. He took a few steps forward, reached out to touch the child's little face, but was afraid of hurting him, so he moved very gently. He smiled and said to Zhao Lan, "Lanlan, you are truly your father's pride, giving your father such a lovely little grandson."

Zhao Mengsheng turned to Lin Yunfei and said, "Yunfei, thank you for your hard work. You must take good care of Lanlan and the child from now on."

Lin Yunfei nodded quickly: "Dad, don't worry, I definitely will."

Looking at this heartwarming family scene, Zhao Mengsheng felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

Liu Ruyan's face darkened, somewhat displeased: "In-law, is the child all you care about? What about me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, my dear in-laws," Zhao Mengsheng said, regaining his composure and apologizing repeatedly.

Liu Ruyan then smiled and said reproachfully, "Alright, alright, I know you're happy, but this child will have to be pampered by both our families from now on."

Zhao Mengsheng smiled and nodded, then took out an exquisite longevity lock from his pocket and gently put it around the child's neck. "This is a gift from your grandfather to his little grandson. May he live a long and peaceful life."

Seeing this, Lin Yunfei and Zhao Lan quickly expressed their gratitude. The atmosphere in the ward became increasingly harmonious, filled with laughter and joy. This little life seemed to have become a bond connecting the two families, bringing their hearts closer together.

At this moment, Lin Yunfei's phone rang again. He glanced at the caller ID; it was his secretary, Liu Can. He frowned slightly, walked out of the ward, and answered the phone: "Liu Can, what is it now?" Secretary Liu Can's voice was urgent: "Governor Lin, Sun Liancheng from Jingzhou has sent another urgent message. Li Dakang's reforms in Guangming District are swift and have already touched some key interest groups."

Lin Yunfei's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "Understood. Continue to keep a close watch and report any suspicious activity immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yunfei returned to the ward. Although he had a smile on his face, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Zhao Lan asked with concern, "Yunfei, is there trouble at work again?"

Lin Yunfei gently stroked her hair and said tenderly, "It's okay, Lanlan. Just focus on your postpartum recovery and take good care of our son. I can handle the work."

However, Lin Yunfei knew in his heart that Li Dakang's series of actions were by no means simple, and the situation in Jingzhou would likely become even more complicated as a result.

His relationship with Li Dakang was complicated, so he had to prepare for the worst.

218. The son was named Lin Weiguo, and Zhong Xiaoai suffered a miscarriage.

218. The son was named Lin Weiguo, and Zhong Xiaoai suffered a miscarriage.

Lin Yunfei successfully became a father, which further strengthened the relationship between the Lin family and the Zhao family in Beijing.

Lin Hu arrived late, being the last to arrive at the PLA General Hospital, where he met his daughter-in-law, Zhao Lan.

"I'm sorry, in-laws."

"I'm sorry, Lanlan, Daddy's late." Lin Hu's eyes were piercing, and a hint of apology showed on his square face.

With tears in her eyes, Zhao Lan replied softly, "Dad, it's alright, it's good that you came."

Lin Hu gripped her hand tightly, secretly vowing to make up for this debt tenfold.

Zhao Mengsheng stood to the side, his eyes slightly red, and handed his swaddled grandson back to Liu Ruyan: "Mother-in-law, please take this for now."

Liu Ruyan carefully took her grandson, her eyes full of love and tenderness, and said softly, "Don't worry, in-law. I will take good care of my grandson."

Lin Hu nodded, then turned his gaze to Lin Yunfei, his tone firm: "Yunfei, from now on you must be more considerate of Lanlan, and you must not bully her, understand?"

"By the way, in-law. The Imperial City Guard has arrested Zhong Xiaoai. She's been detained in the First Detention Center on suspicion of attempted murder..."

Lin Hu snapped out of his daze, looked at Zhao Mengsheng, and began to get down to business.

Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, her expression showing displeasure: "Let's talk outside, not in the ward. A little Zhong Xiaoai is no match for either of our two families."

"Wife, I'm sorry. I know you're upset." Lin Hu said, both amused and exasperated, looking at Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan snorted lightly: "Of course I'm angry. Going to the grassroots level for training is perfectly fine. That's the Lin family's stronghold there. Why insist on going to Handong?"

Lin Hu sighed, "Suhai is good, but there is a wider world in Handong."

"Bullshit! Lin Hu19, my son suffered so much humiliation in Handong."

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, expressing her dissatisfaction, and lowered her voice: "You think I don't know that Li Dakang, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, dismissed Yunfei in order to curry favor with Sha Ruijin's adoptive father?"

Lin Yunfei snapped out of his daze and quickly tried to calm her down: "Mom, calm down. Li Dakang is just a stubborn guy; he always shifts the blame to me when things go wrong. I'm used to it."

"You're used to it? Mom, I can't."

"Who does Li Dakang think he is? Just a mere deputy provincial or ministerial-level official, yet he dares to bully others."

Liu Ruyan grew angrier as she spoke, her eyebrows furrowing as she said in a deep voice, "Yunfei, don't worry, Mom will definitely get justice for you and let Li Dakang know that the Lin family is not to be trifled with."

Seeing this, Lin Hu quickly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Ruyan's hand. "Wife, calm down. We need to discuss this matter carefully and not act impulsively."

Liu Ruyan shook off Lin Hu's hand, "Still want to discuss this further? By the time we finish discussing it further, Yunfei will have to suffer even more injustices."

Lin Yunfei watched his parents arguing for him, feeling both touched and helpless. "Mom and Dad, please stop arguing. I'm fine now, and I've learned a lot from this experience."

Liu Ruyan looked at Lin Yunfei with heartache, "Son, you are always so sensible, but Mom just can't stand seeing you suffer."

Lin Hu patted Liu Ruyan on the shoulder. "Ruyan, Yunfei is right. Although he encountered setbacks during his grassroots training, he also grew. As for Li Dakang, we can't be too hasty. We need to find a suitable time to settle this score with him properly."

After hearing this, Liu Ruyan calmed down a little, but still said angrily, "Fine, I'll listen to you, but this matter can't just be left like this."

Lin Hu nodded, "Don't worry, I won't let Yunfei suffer in vain."

A week later, Zhao Lan passed all her tests and no abnormalities were found, so the doctor agreed to discharge her from the hospital.

A black Hongqi sedan, escorted by four Audi A6s, left the PLA General Hospital in a grand procession.

. . . . . .

Thirty minutes later, a black Hongqi sedan quietly drove into the Beidaihe Nursing Home.

The residents here are all high-ranking officials at the vice-national level.

The car came to a smooth stop, and Lin Hu got out first, carefully helping Zhao Lan, afraid that she might slip or fall. Lin Yunfei followed closely behind, carrying large and small bags of supplements and baby supplies.

Upon entering the nursing home, a solemn and dignified atmosphere immediately struck. The staff members looked at Lin Hu with respect and quickly offered to help him with his belongings.

Lin Hu led his family to a reception room, where several elderly men with white hair but vigorous spirits were already waiting. When they saw Lin Hu and his family, they all showed kind smiles.

"Xiao Lin, your grandson is so adorable. He's definitely a lucky child," an old man said with a smile, his gaze fixed on the baby in the swaddling clothes.

Lin Hu replied with a smile, "Yes, this child has brought a lot of joy to our family. I brought him here today so that all of you old leaders could see him and share in the good fortune."

Another old man nodded: "Yunfei is also a good kid. Although he suffered a bit during his grassroots experience, he has grown very quickly and will surely become a pillar of the country in the future."

Lin Yunfei quickly and modestly replied, "Uncles and elders, you flatter me. I still have a lot to learn."

Zhao Lan smiled gently and greeted the elders. Her gentleness and virtue drew praise from everyone present.

In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, everyone chatted about everyday life and also discussed national affairs.

Lin Hu would occasionally chime in with his own opinions, demonstrating his wisdom and composure as the head of the family.

At this moment, the main character made his appearance. Grandpa Lin Jianguo, wearing reading glasses and leaning on a cane, came over with the help of a guard.

Although Lin Jianguo was advanced in years, his eyes still revealed an undeniable authority. He slowly walked to the center of the reception room, his gaze sweeping over Lin Hu's family before finally settling on the infant in swaddling clothes, a kind smile spreading across his face.

"Lin Hu, you've arrived." Lin Jianguo's voice was a little hoarse, but full of strength. "This child, is he my great-grandson?"

Lin Hu quickly stepped forward, helped Lin Jianguo sit down, and said with a smile, "Dad, that's right. Look, this child looks just like Yunfei when he was little."

Lin Jianguo examined the baby closely, his eyes filled with affection: "Yes, it really does look like him. Our Lin family has gained another new member."

As he spoke, he turned to Lin Yunfei and Zhao Lan and said earnestly, "Yunfei, Lanlan, you are now parents yourselves. You must work even harder to bring honor to your family and contribute to the country."

Lin Yunfei and Zhao Lan nodded quickly, indicating that they would keep their grandfather's teachings in mind.

Lin Jianguo chatted with the elderly men for a few more minutes about everyday matters, then changed the subject to the current political situation and the country's development. His words revealed his deep concern for the nation and his earnest expectations for the future.

"Our country is at a critical stage of development, and each of us must do our part," Lin Jianguo said with a serious and solemn expression. "Yunfei, you have experienced some hardships during your grassroots training, but you have also gained a lot. In the future, you must work even harder and contribute your strength to the country's development."

Lin Yunfei nodded solemnly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I definitely will."

Lin Jianguo asked, "By the way, have you named the child yet?"

Lin Yunfei gave a wry smile and exchanged a glance with Zhao Lan: "Not yet, Grandpa. We're waiting for you to come."
