Chapter 208: Chapter 0208: Eager to Act

Chu Feng pulled out his phone and noticing it was Ye Bingxin calling, he apologized to He Zhen and the other person, then walked to one side to answer the call.

"Sister Police Flower, calling me today couldn’t be because you want to take me out for a meal as thanks, right? I’ve got plenty of time." Chu Feng said with easy banter.

From the other end, Ye Bingxin said, "That’s not it. Chu Feng, Director Pei has been called to the Provincial Department for questioning, and it might have to do with me."

After hearing that, Chu Feng also furrowed his brows and asked, "What happened?"

Ye Bingxin said, "After the last incident, I was reinstated to my original position. However, because of this, Director Pei might have offended Du Liqun and his son. I heard from a friend in the city bureau today that Director Pei has already been called to the Provincial Department for two days now, and it seems he may face suspension."

Chu Feng, after hearing Ye Bingxin’s words, darkened in expression and said, "Those two really have the gall to act so recklessly. I’ll handle this matter; you don’t need to worry."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Feng returned to the room and said, "Elder Brother, Brother He, I’ve got something urgent to attend to at the province, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to join you for dinner tonight."

He Zhen asked, "What’s going on?"

Chu Feng answered, "Brother He, I can handle this matter by myself. After all, it’s somewhat due to me that this situation has arisen."

He Zhen’s expression turned serious as he said, "By saying that, you’re not treating me as a brother."

Gu Zhong also said, "Little Brother, if you have any problems, just let us know. Although I’m a doctor, I might be able to help somehow."

With Gu Zhong and He Zhen insisting like that, Chu Feng couldn’t refuse and promptly told them the details of the situation.

After Chu Feng finished explaining, both He Zhen and Gu Zhong had very ugly expressions on their faces.

"Scoundrels! Absolute scoundrels! Such people are unfit to serve as public servants—they’re nothing but parasites of the people. Brother Chu, let me handle this for you. You saved this old man’s life and helped your Jianguo solve a case. I can’t just stand by and do nothing; this time, I must help," He Zhen said firmly.

Gu Zhong added, "Old Man, are you trying to compete with me? I’ve just acknowledged this junior brother today, and you won’t even give me this chance?"

If outsiders heard this conversation, it would surely astonish them and make their jaws drop.

Because what the two elders were arguing over was not just any issue, but who would step forward to deal with a deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department with the rank of a regular bureau leader.

Such a status is usually only looked up to by ordinary people, but in the eyes of the two elders, it was no different than dealing with a child.

"Old Man, let me take care of this one, and I will step back in the future if any other matters arise. I owe Little Friend Chu too much; I can’t fail to repay him," He Zhen said with utmost seriousness.

However, just at that moment, Gu Zhong’s phone also began to ring.

Gu Zhong took out the phone, glanced at it, and answered the call.

The call was from the current Director of the Provincial Hospital, who was also at the departmental level.

After connecting the call, Kang Zhehan, the Director of the Provincial Hospital, respectfully said, "Master, I have a complicated case here, and I’m hoping you can help out this one time."

Gu Zhong asked, "What case?"

Kang Zhehan said, "Master, it’s like this—the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, Director Du’s child, has somehow broken his finger..."

Before Kang Zhehan could finish, Gu Zhong cut him off mid-sentence and said, "I won’t treat him. Moreover, if you intend to treat him, then from now on, don’t say that you’re my disciple. If he is at the hospital right now, immediately kick him out. Our hospital won’t treat such scum."

Kang Zhehan hadn’t expected that before he could even finish speaking, he’d be refused by his master with such words.

"Teacher, that’s Director Du’s..."

Gu Zhong snorted coldly and said, "I don’t care whether he’s a director or not. If you still want to be my student, do as I say. If you don’t, from now on, we’ll sever our ties as master and disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Kang Zhehan hurriedly said, "Teacher, please calm your anger. I will have someone remove him immediately."

Gu Zhong’s medical skill was not the only eminent aspect of his identity, which was also extremely special. Even though Gu Zhong had retired, his influence within the Huaxia Medical Industry was not diminished in the slightest.

Moreover, Gu Zhong was the chairman of Huaxia’s special medical committee, a position that granted direct access to national leaders. Many of those he had saved on the battlefield were now high-ranking officials. Even so, they had to treat Gu Zhong with the utmost courtesy when they saw him.

It could be said that Kang Zhehan’s position as the director was not solely due to his own medical skills; a large part of it was due to Gu Zhong’s influence.

Without the title of being a disciple of his master, everything Kang Zhehan had might well be at risk of being lost.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhong looked triumphantly at He Zhen and said, "Old Man, this time I’ve got the upper hand. You should rest well. Leave the rest to me."

He Zhen looked at Gu Zhong and replied, "You think you’re the only one capable? Watch me."

After speaking, He Zhen took out his phone and made a call.

The call connected quickly. The Secretary of the Provincial Committee, Meng Hao, who was in a meeting at the Provincial Government’s No. 1 office, frowned upon seeing his secretary with his phone and said, "I’ve said that I won’t take any calls while I’m in a meeting."

Meng Hao’s secretary softly said, "Secretary, it’s a call from Elder He."

Upon hearing this, Meng Hao quickly said, "Everyone, please continue the discussion we were having."

After that, Meng Hao quickly went outside and answered the call, respectfully saying, "Master, what do you need from your student?"

He Zhen, with a serious expression, said, "Little Meng, do you still remember what I taught you about the way of the official?"

Meng Hao, not knowing why He Zhen was asking this but still responding respectfully, said, "Of course, student remembers. Teacher taught the student that as an official, one must always hold the greater good of the nation and the people at heart. Always remember that we are servants of the people. Always remember that we serve the people and the country. I dare not forget the lessons you taught, Teacher."

He Zhen said, "It seems you do remember. Since you do, how can you explain such an incident happening under your administration?"

Meng Hao trembled upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, "Teacher, your student is unaware of what has happened. Please enlighten me."

Meng Hao was not only He Zhen’s student but also his old subordinate, having once been a clerk under He Zhen. Meng Hao’s smooth career path had a lot to do with He Zhen.

For Meng Hao, He Zhen was a teacher and a father figure worthy of his utmost respect.

He Zhen promptly recounted the situation to Meng Hao.

After listening, Meng Hao’s face turned as somber as still water, and he said, "Teacher, rest assured, I will handle this matter with justice. I will give Teacher a satisfactory answer."

He Zhen said, "This isn’t just about giving me an answer, but giving the people an answer!"

Meng Hao said, "Student will remember that."

After hanging up the call, Meng Hao regained his authoritative demeanor as the Secretary of the Provincial Committee, then pushed open the doors of the meeting room and strode in.

Seeing Meng Hao’s expression, everyone below instantly understood that something significant was about to happen.
