It was already six o'clock when Li Tang got home. Hearing the noise, the old man and his wife, who had not slept well since he left, and Song Xiaohui all came out of their respective bedrooms.

Although they knew what was going on, everyone breathed a sigh of relief now that they saw him in person.

Song Xiaohui ignored the fact that her parents-in-law were still present and threw herself into Li Tang's arms and hugged him tightly.

No matter how old-fashioned cadre Mr. Li is, no matter how dedicated he is to serving the public, he finally changed his tune today after seeing his youngest son's life being threatened several times.

"Third brother, I think... if it doesn't work, just resign!"

These words shocked everyone. Even Li’s mother, who had lived together for most of her life, looked at her husband as if she were an alien.

"Old lady, what are you looking at? Can't I care about my son?"

"I find it strange that you can still say something like asking your son to resign."

"Why can't I say it? We can't wait until the future comes out..."

"Bah, bah, bah, shut your crow mouth. There are thirteen people in our family. Hurry up and give me thirteen puffs, and then touch the wood."

"I... bah bah bah bah..."

Look, this is the status of the family. You can do whatever you want. Dad Li doesn't dare to say a word.

"Pfft...hahaha..."

Although it seemed not good to laugh in front of her father-in-law, Song Xiaohui felt that she would definitely suffer internal injuries if she continued to hold it in, so she couldn't help laughing, and even left Li Tang and sat on the sofa, laughing so hard that she couldn't even straighten her back.

In fact, Dad Li has a very good temper. After he finished bahting, he also laughed.

"This old woman, she believes in some things but she doesn't, yet she wants to drag me along with her."

"You're such a damn old man and you don't know what to say. You just say whatever you want." Mother Li also had a smile on her face.

After talking about her wife, Mother Li put away the smile on her face and looked at her youngest son calmly.

"Third son, I won't say anything to ask you to resign. Your dad just said he wanted you to resign. I know that's what he said. No matter what, you have to remember that you have a family, a wife and children. You are responsible for them.”

"I know mom, I will protect myself."

"Well, you are about to turn forty. As the old saying goes, you stand firm at thirty, and don't be confused at forty. At thirty, you stand firm in body and mind. You have indeed stood firm. We all have achieved your achievements. I'm proud of you.

Although you are not yet forty, I believe you should have seen through everything and you should be able to know what is most important. Think about it carefully.

Okay, I'm going to cook, and we'll go back to the factory later. Huihui, will you come back with us? "

Song Xiaohui looked at her husband, she was a little hesitant now.

"Go back, I'm fine. Besides, you guys will be back after just two days. It's not like you stayed for a long time."

"Well, Mom, let me help you. Husband, please go check on the child. It's almost time..."

"Meow……"

Before Song Xiaohui could finish her words, the cat ran out from the crack of their bedroom door and barked.

Yes, the child must have woken up.

When Li Tang went in, Xiao Sanyue was lying on the small bed, dancing and playing with herself. When she heard a noise, she wanted to look towards the door, but as soon as she tried hard, she turned over and climbed over there, and she couldn't see anymore. Now she was unhappy. He started to groan, and when Li Tang went over to turn him over and saw who it was, his legs and arms kicked up even more, and he was still giggling.

He had just experienced something unpleasant in the middle of the night, and now seeing his child's innocent smile, Li Tang felt that his heart was about to melt.

A child's innocent eyes, paired with a clean smile, are truly the most healing medicine in the world.

"Ah...ah..."

Seeing that his father hadn't hugged him for a long time, the little guy screamed twice with some dissatisfaction. Then he pulled Li Tang out of his intoxication. He reached out and hugged him, touched the diaper, um, he was doing it, took off the homemade sleeping bag, and changed it. As soon as she put on her autumn clothes and trousers, and her coat and trousers, she carried him out of the bedroom and headed to the bathroom.

When he came out again, he threw the little guy into the arms of the old man sitting on the sofa, and then he went into the bedroom to pack the clothes he would take back to his hometown, leaving the grandfather and grandson talking to each other, unable to listen to each other. I understand, but I can talk for a long time.

The old man now carries his grandson whenever he can. At first, he didn't dare to carry him outside because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to comfort the child when he cried. But now he is no longer afraid. He will carry him out for a walk at noon, and he is also good at coaxing little Sanyue to sleep. .

But I still didn’t dare to feed or urinate the child. I was worried that my hands would be careless and the child would be uncomfortable.

Anyway, whenever little Sanyue cries, the old man becomes a little at a loss and doesn't know what to do.

Since he had this little grandson, he has indeed changed a lot. When he saw those grandsons before, he would only ask about his studies with a straight face, which made the children not like talking to him. But it is different now. Now, I know how to care about other things.

For example, this year Li Qing's son Taotao did not do well in the college entrance examination and decided to repeat his studies for another year. When he came over to play during the summer vacation, he didn't even ask about his studies. It was already like that. The child himself was uncomfortable enough. It's just to relax. If you ask again, wouldn't it be just to rub salt into the wound? It's impossible to say hello. It's better to let the fun be happy, take off the burden and go back to the battle lightly.

He has changed, and the children like to talk to him and talk about some interesting things when they see him. The old man feels that this is really better than before.

……

After finishing breakfast and packing up, Li Tang called Guo Dacheng and asked him to drive over in the commercial vehicle parked at the company and take them back to the fertilizer factory. At eight o'clock, the home, which was originally full of laughter, There was only one person and one cat left.

He was not in a hurry to go to the company. He sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. He gently stroked the cat crawling on his lap with one hand and thought seriously about some issues. In the misty smoke, his slightly narrowed eyes flashed from time to time. A cold glow passed.

Again, he could only be a thief for a thousand days, but he could not prevent a thief for a thousand days. He had had enough of being provoked and assassinated over and over again.

It's better if it's just for him, but what if it's for your family?

At this moment, he didn't know that the four people who were arrested had indeed planned to attack his family. But last night, due to luck, Xiao Sanyue fell asleep while eating, so the family did not go out for a walk. Otherwise, it’s hard to say what the situation will be like now.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Meow"

"Who?"

"Third son, it's me!"

"Here you go, sister!"

"I just saw what uncle, aunt, and Xiaohui were doing in the car with their children?"

The visitor is Du Juan from the opposite door.

"Come in, sister, they have gone back to the factory. Brother Quanfu's father is gone. My father goes back to take a look."

"What? Quanfu? Cai Quanfu's father? Uncle Cai is not here?"

"Yes, it's Uncle Cai." Li Tang nodded.

"No, I have the impression that Uncle Cai is in good health. Why...so sudden?" After hearing the affirmative reply, Du Juan's face was full of surprise.

"Oh, I don't know the specific situation. I just know that I went out for a walk after breakfast in the morning. I fell down on the stairs. When someone found out, my body was cold. I heard that the police are still investigating. What happened? I fell down accidentally or something."

"Oh... what is all this! By the way, Sanzi, let's not mention this for now. I heard your brother-in-law said that you came back from outside before six o'clock this morning. What happened? What happened in the company? Already?"

"Ah? Brother-in-law, has he seen me?"

"Well, he happened to get up to go to the bathroom at that time. He heard the sound of a car outside, so he took a look at the window and found that Huzi was driving you back. He saw that you had already come back, so he didn't call. I just remembered to tell you before I went out."

There was such a big commotion in the early morning. Whether it was the guest house or the person on duty at the company, everyone knew a lot. It must be impossible to keep it secret. Li Tang briefly explained the matter.

Du Juan's face was filled with anger when he heard this: "This is not over yet. It's happened several times. Third son, it's not a problem to keep doing this. Isn't there any good solution from above?"

"What can be done?" Li Tang smiled bitterly, shook his head, spread his hands and said, "You can't let me live in a vacuum, right? Besides, the superiors have actually given me a way. I have been specially allowed to carry a gun with me and return it." It can be equipped with security guards, which is not something I can enjoy at my level. If there is any other way, I can’t even think of what else to do.”

Du Juan was also silent for a while. Indeed, you can't be kept in captivity and lose your freedom. That would be safer, but what's the point?

"Then... Sanzi, I think you should also consider the safety of Huihui and the child."

"That's right!" Li Tang nodded: "I was thinking about this issue just now. I plan to find the female security guard from Qiaomu to be responsible for protecting Huihui and the child in the future."

"This is a good idea. During Huihui's pregnancy, I think the two girls were well taken care of and they were specially trained."

"Jingle Bell……"

Hearing the phone ringing, Du Juan turned her head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already eight fifteen.

"You answer the phone, I'll go to the unit first."

"Okay, I guess it's the leader of the province. The news about what happened in the early morning should have been spread around."

As he spoke, Li Tang reached out and picked up the phone receiver.

"I am Li Tang!"

"Comrade Li Tang, I am Yao Liangzhong."

"Hello, Leader Liangzhong, are you concerned about what happened in the early morning?" "Yes, I just heard that such a serious thing happened, but you didn't tell me anything."

"Originally, I was planning to report to you when I arrived at work, but I forgot that you go to work at eight o'clock."

"I mean in the early morning."

"Boss, you are just joking. To put it bluntly, in the early morning, the police came and arrested a few suspects. They were just in our guest house. I woke you up and reported it at that time. It was a bit of a fuss."

"You comrade! Let's do this. I have half an hour to spare from nine-thirty to ten o'clock today. Come over and let's talk."

"Good leadership!"

Yao Liangzhong's phone call seemed to open Pandora's box. For the next half hour, Li Tang sat there and kept answering the phone until people in the province who were qualified to know his home phone number called him one by one. Then it stopped.

It was almost nine o'clock at this time. Seeing this, he was not going to go to the work. He planned to go directly to the provincial capital later, so he called Liu Xiaoqiang and the secretary's office respectively, then packed up and went out. I boarded the car that was already waiting in front of the building.

"Huzi, go to the provincial capital."

"Okay third brother!"

When the car drove out of the family compound, Pang Hu glanced at the rearview mirror, pursed his lips, thought for a while and said, "Third brother, how about I select a few more people from the security department to train alone."

"Huh?" Li Tang, who was looking out of the car window, was a little overwhelmed by Pang Hu's rambling words. He looked back at the rearview mirror and asked, "Why are you training alone?"

"Follow you. Dacheng and I work shifts. We are following you alone. Our strength is still a bit weak. Like the four who were arrested in the early morning. If they really attack in the street, even if Dacheng and I are here , it’s probably also dangerous.”

"If they really dared to commit murder on the street, they would not have come to the provincial capital for half a month without taking action, only to be caught by us. None of these people are determined to die."

Indeed, if these people were really dead soldiers, the grass on their graves would be several feet tall, and they would still be alive today.

"But you can train a few more people. When you get back, say hello to Lao Huang and pick out a few who you think have good foundations to practice with."

"Okay, third brother, should I leave it to my sister-in-law..."

"What do you think of those female security guards over at Qiaomu?"

"Are you talking about the two who drove my sister-in-law during her pregnancy?"

"Um"

"I have practiced Sanda, and my legs and feet are just fine, but you should also know that if something really happens, good legs and feet won't solve any problems. After all, the things that happened around you these few times, those people were armed with guns. "

"There's no way I can equip them with guns, right?"

"How about recruiting them to our company."

Pang Hu means to recruit those female security guards to work in the Security Department. Because Qinshan Pharmaceutical has a relatively high level of confidentiality, after special approval from above, the Security Department has guns, and these security personnel of the Security Department are also provided by the provincial department. The issued gun license requires a certain amount of training every year and an assessment. If the person fails the assessment, the gun license will be revoked.

Recruit those female security guards to the company. After receiving training and passing the assessment, they can hold guns, so that they can better protect Song Xiaohui when they follow her in the future.

But this is equivalent to using it as a public tool for private use.

Li Tang was able to have full-time security around him because his superiors had specially approved it for his personal safety. His wife did not enjoy this treatment.

But what Pang Hu said is indeed reasonable. If something really happens and the security around him is unarmed, it will actually be the same whether there is this person or not, it is just one more person who will die.

But if he really reported it through normal channels and waited for approval from above, even if his father-in-law was the top leader, it would be impossible for him to get the approval. There are rules for everything.

He still doesn't know that the excuse for his superiors to arrange for someone to accompany his wife has already been found out by the police.

By the time he came out of Yao Liangzhong's place in the provincial capital and went to his father-in-law's place in another compound, it was already eleven o'clock.

"The city bureau's preliminary interrogation of the suspects has concluded. Director Xiong has come over to report to the leader. The leader just told you to go in as soon as you come over."

As soon as they arrived outside the small building where Song's father's office was located, Hu Jiannong greeted him.

"Is there a result so soon?" After hearing him say that the interrogation was concluded, Li Tang, who raised his legs to go up the steps, paused in his movements.

"I don't know the specifics. I just listened to it when I was pouring tea for Director Xiong."

"Okay, thank you, Hu Chu."

"You're welcome."

Quickly walking up the steps, Li Tang was about to enter the small building when he suddenly stopped again, turned to look at Hu Jiannong who was walking next to him and asked, "Has Hu Chu ever thought about staying with me for two years?"

Hu Jiannong has been with Dad Song for a long time. It has been more than seven years since he was the deputy leader, then the leader, and now the director. He is now the director of the Secretariat Division of the General Office here, enjoying the pleasure of being a deputy director. Bureau level treatment.

It’s not a problem if you have to do this kind of waiting work for a long time. It’s better to go out and exercise. And Father Song will retire after finishing this term at most. Even if he doesn’t officially retire, he will still be a representative of the higher authorities. I will become a chairman, and I will definitely not take him with me again.

Li Tang is inviting him now, so that he can work as a vice president in the company for two years, so that he can fulfill the deputy director-level treatment he originally enjoyed. Then when he goes back to work, he can directly go to the city government to work as a leader, or go to another province. Being the top leader in a bureau-level enterprise is indeed a good path.

"Uh... Director Li, I haven't considered this issue yet. Everything is subject to the leadership's arrangements."

"Well..." Li Tang nodded: "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, he turned around and continued walking into the building. Hu Jiannong, who was two steps behind, had a flush of excitement on his face and shook his right hand unconsciously.

Why has he followed Father Song steadily for so many years? Isn't it just to fight for a future?

After following the leader for so many years, he is also very clear about Li Tang's status in the leader's heart. He is not just a son-in-law, but also an important helper for the leader in his upward journey. Without this help, he might not have been able to hold the position of deputy secretary-general back then. I have to work directly until I retire.

Since Li Tang was able to bring up that idea to him just now, according to his estimation, if nothing else happens, it might not be long before he takes action.

He was just thinking wildly until he entered the solemn office. He gave up all the distracting thoughts in his mind, refilled his head, and then left.

……

In the office, after Hu Jiannong exited, Director Xiong looked at Li Tang and said, "You came just in time. I am reporting to the director that I may need to send additional security forces to your lover, Comrade Song Xiaohui, in the future."

Li Tang, who had just sat down, was stunned when he heard this. He turned to look at his father-in-law who was sitting there as heavy as water, and then looked at Director Xiong.

"What do you mean, Director Minghua?"

"It means literally. After a surprise interrogation in the morning at the city bureau, one of the four suspects has already spoken. In the past half month, they have roughly figured out the pattern of your activities. According to their plan, they were originally preparing After dinner last night, you and Comrade Song Xiaohui took action when you took your children out for a walk on the street. I don't know why you didn't go out last night, so their plan failed.

You should have seen when you checked the surveillance of the guest house at that time that the four of them did not go back until after ten o'clock in the evening, and they were waiting at the door of your family home.

The four of them were divided into two groups, two were waiting at the gate of the family courtyard, and the other two were at Shilipu. The original plan was to wait for you to come out, and then they would attack and injure others, or forcibly abduct your family of three. I will deal with you on the road, then go directly to Shilipu to throw away the car, switch to the unknown car driven by the other two people and run away. "

To be honest, Li Tang's shirt under his work clothes was already soaked with cold sweat.

He really wanted to run to the fertilizer factory now, hug his son and kiss him hard. If the little guy hadn't suddenly changed his schedule last night, the family of three would have gone out for a walk after dinner. Then maybe... …

He no longer dared to think about the consequences.

"Uh..." Li Tang opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly found that his throat was as dry as if he hadn't drank water for several days. He quickly picked up the tea that Hu Jiannong had just made for him, not caring whether it was hot or not. It was hot, and I drank a few big sips, and then I felt that my throat felt better.

"Dad..." He didn't care that he was in the office and there were outsiders present, so he just called him as he was at home.

"I...regardless of whether the province approves it this time, I will send people around Huihui to protect her and her children. I am also an ordinary person, not a saint. I don't have any lofty ideals. I can't sacrifice my family." Come and fulfill my own affairs, no matter what, I will send people around Huihui to protect her, and bring guns to protect her.

If the province or higher authorities do not agree, then I will resign. I am not doing this to threaten anyone, but I cannot risk the lives of my wife and my son, or the humanity of those people. "

When he said this, Li Tang's voice was not loud, almost like mumbling to himself. If it weren't for the silence in the office, Father Song and Director Xiong might not be able to hear clearly.

He was really scared. Although he had been shot twice in Qinshan before, once Pang Hu was injured and once his cheek was scratched, he also felt scared, but it was just scared, but what happened just now?

When he listened to Director Xiong's story just now, he actually felt his stomach spasming and had an urge to vomit. He knew very well that this was a feedback from his body to his brain when he was extremely scared.

Li Tang picked up the tea cup again and took a sip. After suppressing the feeling of wanting to vomit, Li Tang raised his head and looked at his father-in-law.

Seeing him looking over, Song's father tapped his left hand on the desk: "You don't have to look at me. Huihui is your wife and my daughter. I will definitely not see anything happen to you in the future." If she wants to go to school or go out for something, you should send someone to protect her first, and then when the case is almost settled, I will report to the higher authorities and ask for policies."

"Huh..." Hearing this, Li Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then Director Xiong spoke.

"Director, it's up to me to make this report. After all, it's my job."

Father Song looked deeply at Xiong Minghua, pondered for a moment, and nodded gently.

"Alright!"
