he entrance of the tent; the mother sat down on the ground and cried loudly while looking at her child with a pale face.Xiao Yu walked over, placed his medical bag at one corner of the cardboard box,...Chapter 688: Hello Chief
The commander Fang, named Feng Yulong, is the commander of Zhejiang Military Division and a standing committee member of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee. However, due to his military identity, he has always maintained absolute neutrality. Unless it concerns matters related to the troops, he abstains from any other matters. Moreover, apart from official business, there are no further interactions between him and the rest of the standing committee members. Although Wang Jun is also a member of the Provincial Committee, his interaction with this Feng Yulong has not been extensive. Therefore, it piqued his curiosity as to why Commander Feng would visit early in the morning, especially alongside Zhang Yin, the newly appointed leader of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Brigade.
Zhang Yin, although having taken office for some time, had no interaction with Wang Jun beforehand. Now that both came together for a visit, it left him rather puzzled.
After hearing Wang Jun's introduction, the two sitting on the sofa exchanged glances and quickly stood up to shake hands with Xiao Yu and Wang Chengzhi one by one.
Wang Jun was startled when he saw this from his seat and stood up himself. Today's behavior of these two individuals was too peculiar for him.
Earlier, when he introduced these two people to Wang Chengzhi and Xiao Yu, it was purely to expand their social network. He just needed them to nod as a gesture of acknowledgment; however, now they were behaving much more enthusiastically than expected. It's worth noting that when the two first greeted him upon entering, there wasn't such warmth.
Wang Chengzhi felt rather moved seeing these two coming forward to shake his hand. This was not just a handshake but an equal recognition, and even the composed Wang Chengzhi could not remain aloof in this moment.
Generally speaking, officials like Wang Chengzhi from official families should be accustomed to meeting high-ranking officials since their relatives are vice-provincial level officials themselves. However, such an equal treatment was unprecedented for them.
In that instant, Wang Jun's mind raced as he wondered why these two would behave this way. Knowing Commander Feng Yulong for over two years, they never had casual visits before; conversations were strictly professional exchanges. Therefore, their sudden visit must have a reason.
Could it be because of Xiao Yu It was Wang Jun's only guess left.
However, how could Xiao Yu possibly know these people While Xiao Yu is skilled in medicine, there shouldn't be any connection with them!
If not for Xiao Yu, then what reason would they have to visit him Could it purely be out of courtesy He has been in Hangzhou for more than two years, and Commander Feng Yulong never paid a visit. Furthermore, he hadn't heard that Commander Feng had close relations with anyone else either! Moreover, even if there were visits, he should be the one visiting Commander Feng instead of the other way around.
Given these circumstances, Wang Jun was somewhat perplexed. After all, they didn’t have a superior-subordinate relationship; in fact, on the Standing Committee or in terms of power dynamics, Commander Feng Yulong held a higher position than him.
After exchanging greetings, Xiao Yu and Wang Chengzhi also sat down on the sofa.
"Hehe, Secretary Wang, I've heard for a long time that your son is the most low-key young master in all of Zhejiang. Today when I see him, he indeed seems to have already achieved greatness!" After everyone was seated, Zhang Yin smiled and glanced at Wang Chengzhi before addressing Wang Jun.
"Captain Zhang flatters me too much; he's still a young man who needs further refinement!" Hearing Zhang Yin’s words, Wang Jun hurriedly waved his hand while saying.
He was very satisfied with Wang Chengzhi's performance. Over the years, Wang Chengzhi hadn't picked up any of the bad habits that other wealthy heirs had; this was what he liked about him most. Moreover, in official circles, every step could be treacherous. Although power might seem alluring, it could also lead one to corruption.
Therefore, when Wang Chengzhi chose a career as a doctor back then, he did not object. His family had enough money for Wang Chengzhi's needs and there was no need for him to wade into the murky waters of politics. Hence, both he and Liu Suofang were very supportive of their son becoming a doctor.
"Hehe, Secretary Wang is too modest! What I said was the truth; people outside have a high opinion of your son!" Hearing what Wang Jun had to say, Fang Yulong took over the conversation.
“Yes, Old Brother Fang is right!” Zhang Yin nodded in agreement upon hearing this. After speaking, he turned his gaze towards Xiao Yu and said, “Doctor Xiao is truly a model for us! At such an age, he has opened up new horizons for Chinese medicine!”
"That's correct; I am also most admiring of Doctor Xiao’s medical skills. In just a few days at Hangcheng Hospital, he created the reputation of being a miracle doctor! Truly an oddity in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine!" Right after Zhang Yin finished speaking, Fang Yulong quickly took up where he left off.
At this point, Wang Jun finally figured out that these two people had come for Xiao Yu. The compliments they gave to Wang Chengzhi were clearly just formulaic words; while it was not easy to get even such praise from them, compared to the praise for Xiao Yu, it fell far short.
“Could both of their family members need treatment by Doctor Xiao” Wang Jun thought silently. Otherwise, they wouldn't have so highly praised Doctor Xiao’s medical skills.
Fang Yulong and Zhang Yin stayed a little longer before proposing to leave.
Hearing them say goodbye, the confusion on Wang Jun's face deepened. If these two were here for medical treatment by Xiao Yu, why did they not mention it at all If they weren't seeking help from him, then what was their purpose in coming
Wang Jun escorted them out of the villa with a puzzled mind.
"Secretary Wang, please take care of us in the future!"
"Yes, Secretary Wang, we hope to receive your support and guidance in the future!"
Outside the gate of the villa, Fang Yulong and Zhang Yin shook hands with Wang Jun one by one before saying.
"Haha, Commander Fang, Captain Zhang is too polite. It should be I who needs their care!" Upon hearing their words, Wang Jun chuckled and said.
The two stood outside for a moment in hesitation, then turned to Wang Jun and said, "Secretary Wang, may we ask you to step aside We need to talk with Master Xiao about something."
They had come specifically for Xiao Yu and were looking for an opportunity to speak privately with him all along. However, they never got the chance. If they didn't act now, it would be a wasted trip today. Therefore, they could only ask Wang Jun to leave.
Hearing Fang Yulong's words, Wang Jun was alarmed and thought to himself that these two were indeed here for Xiao Yu.
Wang Chengzhi glanced at the two in puzzlement but was stopped from speaking by Xiao Yu. The two obviously had something important to discuss with him, though what it was exactly, Xiao Yu didn't know. But he guessed it wouldn't be anything bad; otherwise, they wouldn't have been so polite and paid a visit.
"Commander, I am Zhang Yin from the Thirteenth Bureau of Zhejiang Province, reporting to you!" After Wang Jun's family returned to the villa, Zhang Yin snapped to attention with a salute toward Xiao Yu.
"Commander! I am Fang Yulong reporting in as well!" Seeing Zhang Yin saluting, Fang Yulong quickly followed suit.
Even though Fang Yulong was a major general and served as the head of his region, he was still somewhat junior to the Thirteenth Bureau. The military rank of people from the Thirteenth Bureau might not be higher than him, but their authority could surpass his in certain situations, especially after hearing about some things related to Xiao Yu.
"Have we met before" Puzzled by their words, Xiao Yu asked.
"Yes, Commander. I previously saw you at the Song family's residence in Beijing and was on another boat with you last night, so I knew you had arrived in Hangzhou," Zhang Yin respectfully replied to Xiao Yu's question.
When Xiao Yu heard what he said, he immediately understood. Originally, when the other party said that he was from Department Thirteen, he thought it might be because he had been seen in the capital city; no one else knew his identity.
Hence, upon hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded, and everything made sense at that moment.
It turned out that last night, on another river pavilion boat, there were only those two people: Zhang Yin and Fang Yulong. They could be considered comrades from the same unit, with a fairly good relationship in the past. Therefore, after Zhang Yin took office, Fang Yulong arranged a welcome banquet for him at a pavilion boat on West Lake.
When Zhang Yin saw Xiao Yu last night, he felt familiar and only later, upon hearing Xiao Yu's name, did he dare to confirm it.
It turned out that when the Old Grandpa Song celebrated his birthday, Zhang Yin had seen Xiao Yu. Moreover, his father was a direct descendant of Elderly Grandpa Song, so during the time at the Song family mansion, Xiao Yu’s every move was within his sight. Although he didn’t know much about Xiao Yu's identity, he still knew some things. Therefore, when he found out last night that Xiao Yu was staying with Wang Jun, he came over with Fang Yulong.
Moreover, throughout the entire night last night, Zhang Yin had thoroughly checked the other people involved. If Xiao Yu were to suffer any injustice and he witnessed it without taking any action, his father would probably scold him senseless upon learning about it.
"Comrade, do you have anything else for me" Seeing Xiao Yu nod, Zhang Yin asked politely again.
“Hmm... Since you saw what happened last night, then help me resolve the matter cleanly from last night and don't let them hurt my few friends!” After hearing Zhang Yin's words, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment before saying to them.
Xiao Yu knew that he couldn’t stay in Hangzhou for long. If he left, the other party might send martial artists again, and Guo Liang and Zhang Qiuzhan might encounter something. With Department Thirteen taking care of things, even if he returned to the deep sea area, he would still feel at ease.
"This... Comrade, your other two friends are fine, but regarding the Wang family, with Governor Wu around, we may find it difficult to deal with any actions taken against the Wang family within a reasonable range. After all, when one reaches the position of Zhejiang’s governor, Department Thirteen finds it hard to oversee everything."
After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Zhang Yin thought for a moment and said with some difficulty.
The businesspeople were fine, but if he promised Xiao Yu, he needed to do his best. However, now that Governor Wu was about to take office, after taking office, any actions taken by them would require reporting. After all, the authority of Department Thirteen was already quite substantial.
Therefore, their limitation was that for officials above the rank of Minister, they needed to report and only conduct investigations upon receiving orders from either the headquarters of Department Thirteen or Zhong Yang.s. But since his Master had just returned to the capital city and they only recently met, it wouldn't be right to ask him for a large sum of money out of the blue.If this only made people look down on...
