It was almost noon when Nalan Bingxuan woke up. A desperate phone ringing woke her up from her sleep. She lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed. Her eyes were confused and looked around the room. The phone ringing was still tenacious. She then thought of answering the phone. The call was from Nalan Bingxuan's grandfather Nalan Chuyang, who said that there was an urgent matter and asked Nalan Bingxuan to go back to the old courtyard house in Siheyuan.

Nalan Bingxuan didn't know what his grandfather was talking about. After getting up and washing up, he walked to the hotel lobby and remembered that he didn't know where his car was parked, so he called Yao Ze.

At this time, Yao Ze had just received a call from the Ministry of Agriculture, saying that he was asking Yao Ze to go to the Ministry of Agriculture in the afternoon. As soon as he hung up the phone number of the Minister of Agriculture, Nalan Bingxuan called in. Yao Ze looked at the number and then smiled and answered the channel: "Are you awake?"

Nalan Bingxuan's calm face turned red unnaturally for the first time. It felt that what he did was indeed different from what he usually showed. Yao Ze couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he saw his most vulnerable side. "Well, I'll sleep well." Nalan Bingxuan nodded softly, and then thought about the purpose of calling, and asked: "Where did you park my car last night? I'll use it now."

Yao Ze smiled and said, "In the hotel parking lot, didn't you leave a note for you last night? Didn't you see it?"

Nalan Bing ran away quickly, but didn't notice the notes on the bedside table. She smiled softly and said, "I didn't notice it, thank you last night."

Yao Ze smiled and said, "We are friends, so don't say such words."

Nalan Bingxuan didn't say anything, paused on the phone before saying, "Contact again, I have something to do now..."

After talking to Nalan Bingxuan, Yao Ze walked out of his room and went to the cafeteria stationed in Beijing for dinner. In the past two days, Vice Governor Tang Shunyi always left early and returned late. Yao Ze was puzzled what he was doing. When he met Ruan Keren who looked a little dazed in the hall, she was wearing a well-fitted suit, with long black hair tied high and revealing her snow-white neck. She stood alone in a corner of the hall, holding a cell phone in her hand and looking absent-minded.

Yao Ze walked forward with a smile, shook his hand in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "What do you think? I'm so fascinated?"

Ruan Keren came to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's nothing, Director Yao is here to have a meal, right?"

Yao Ze nodded and said, "Yes, after dinner, I have to go to the Ministry of Agriculture. Minister Xu of the Ministry of Agriculture is invited."

Ruan Keren said with a smile: "Congratulations to Director Yao."

Yao Ze smiled and said, "Oh? Where does this joy come from?"

Ruan Keren smiled and said, "Minister Xu is naturally looking for you for the purpose of rural reform. You don't have to think about it and you may be talking to you about the promotion of rural reform nationwide."

Yao Ze said with a smile: "I hope this is the best."

Ruan Keren said: "Go to have a meal, I will drive you to the afternoon."

"How can you be so embarrassed?"

"It's okay, I'm idle anyway..."

...

When Nalan Bingxuan returned to Siheyuan, he saw a very special red flag car parked outside Siheyuan. Two young soldiers with serious expressions and live ammunition were standing beside him. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised that his grandfather had not come to the guests for a long time.

When he walked into the courtyard, a hearty laughter made Nalan Bingxuan hear the identity of the person, "You old guy, at such a big age, why do you still care about your body so much? You can just work at the same age." The person who came was the old man of the Lin family, Lin Hongde.

Nalan Chuyang and Lin Hongde were sitting on the stone pier in the yard basking in the sun and drinking tea. The two old men in their twilight years had a deep relationship. After hearing Lin Hongde's words, Nalan Chuyang curled his lips and snorted coldly: "You old guy is still alive, so I have to die behind you. I have lost to you all my life. This young man must be better than you."

"Chengchengcheng, I let you not fight with you anymore. You have been fighting for the rest of your life. I am convinced of you." Lin Hongde looked at Nalan Chuyang with a joke and said with a smile: "What an absolute old naughty boy."

Nalan Chuyang curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Isn't that the same thing about you, you are so embarrassed to say to me, you even competed with the woman I liked back then, and almost made me angry and knocked you down with a gun."

"You dared to break me in that era? You even rebelled against you." Lin Hongde glanced at Nalan Chuyang, then picked up the cup and took a sip of tea with a thoughtful expression.

Nalan Chuyang snorted, "At worst, I'll die. At that time, I was young and energetic. You took my woman away. I was so angry that I was so angry that I was so angry that I was not sure."

Lin Hongde shook his head with a wry smile. When Nalan Chuyang looked up and saw Nalan Bingxuan standing at the door, he waved with a smile: "Bingxuan, come quickly, your Grandpa Lin is here to see you."

Nalan Bingxuan nodded, walked over with a smile and greeted Lin Hongde.

Lin Hongde nodded with a smile, looked at Nalan Bingxuan, and sighed: "It's so good. There is no handsome guy in the Nalan family. Why does he look like a fairy when he gives birth to a granddaughter?"

"Go to you, don't talk nonsense to me. Wasn't I also a handsome and handsome young man back then?" Nalan Chuyang glared at Lin Hongde, then asked Nalan Bingxuan to sit beside him, poured a cup of tea for Nalan Bingxuan himself, and then said: "You Grandpa Lin has something to ask you. You must tell him the truth about what you know, do you know?"

Nalan Bingxuan roughly guessed Lin Hongde’s purpose, so he nodded and said, “For the sake of Lin Jiyang’s affairs?”

Lin Hongde, who was standing beside him, sighed, his face became heavier, and he said, "Yes, I can't ask you anything about your Uncle Lin Wanshan, I can only ask you."

Nalan Bingxuan frowned slightly and hesitated. Lin Hongde saw the struggle on Nalan Bingxuan's face and smiled and said, "What do you think about it? There is nothing to worry about."

Nalan Bing looked at Lin Hongde and said in a gentle tone: "Grandpa Lin, if this is said from my mouth, it will be a slightest disagreement. So when I went to see you last time, I told you that I asked you to ask Lin Jiyang's second uncle in person because of this."

Lin Hongde said: "Don't worry, I've lived to my seventies. Right and wrong can be distinguished naturally. If you say that, I believe you."

Nalan Bingxuan looked at Nalan Chuyang. Seeing Nalan Chuyang nodding, Nalan Bingxuan bit his lip and began to tell everything he saw back then...

When Lin Wanshan personally pushed Lin Jiyang down from the second floor, Lin Hongde's hand shook, and the cup in his hand slid to the ground, with a crisp sound, and the tea cup and water splashed everywhere.

"This... how is this possible?" Lin Hongde looked at Nalan Bingxuan in surprise. Even the concentration he had cultivated for many years could not bear such a thing and was not moved.

"Everything I said is true. This is what I saw with my own eyes, including Uncle Chen who sent me to the Lin family back then. However, since he returned from the Lin family, he has lost track. Until I found out about his residence a few days ago, it was a pity that the murderer had already killed him one step ahead of me when he found him, so the clue was cut off again."

After hearing Nalan Bingxuan's words, Nalan Chuyang and Lin Hongde were both stunned, as if they had guessed the clues of this matter.

"Old man Lin, why don't you know about this happening in your family?" Nalan Chuyang couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

Lin Hongde came back from his surprise, recalled the events of that year, and sighed: "At that time, my official career was at its peak, I had no time to manage my family's affairs. Basically, I visited all over the world. During the time when my grandson had an accident, I was in the UK for a state visit. I only realized when I came back..." Lin Hongde sighed heavily, "I paid attention to national affairs but ignored too many of my own affairs, which led to the consequences today..."

"How could Wanshan kill his nephew with his own hands? Because he could not have children, he adopted a daughter. It should be treated like a biological son. How could he be cruel to his nephew? This is completely impossible." Lin Hongde murmured to himself.

Nalan Chuyang sighed after hearing this: "Actually, this matter cannot be seen from the surface. Maybe there are some internal factors?"

Lin Hongde nodded after thinking for a moment and said, "It seems that this matter is a bit complicated. The murderer actually risked his life to kill the certification from twenty years ago. This matter is probably not a trivial matter." He looked at Nalan Bingxuan and continued, "Bingxuan, tell me everything you know. I will find out the truth about this matter. Whoever hurts my grandson will definitely make him repay it a hundred times."

...

In the afternoon, Yao Ze arrived at the office building of the Ministry of Agriculture on time. After the car stopped, Yao Ze pushed the door open and smiled at Ruan Keren who was sitting in the driving position and said, "I'm sorry to bother you every time."

Ruan Keren smiled and said, "What's the point? My task is to serve the leaders. Besides, if your agricultural reform plan is promoted nationwide, it will bring glory to the entire province of North China. I will have my meager power in that time."

Yao Ze nodded with a smile: "Yes, there must be."

He walked to the gate of the Ministry of Agriculture and was stopped by the guard. He had no choice but to call Xu Zhuangyan's secretary to pick him up at the door.

Xu Zhuangyan's secretary Zhang Jian is a man in his thirties and wearing glasses. His straight wife and meticulous hairstyle can tell that he is a serious person.

When he saw Yao Ze, he shook hands with Yao Ze enthusiastically and said, "I really didn't expect you to be Director Yao. This age and achievements really make me ashamed. Minister Xu has been praising you all these days, saying that you are young and promising, keeping up with the times, and you are a qualified good cadre. Although you are a little younger, you are no worse than those officials who have been in the officialdom for many years."

Yao Ze followed Secretary Zhang, listened to Secretary Zhang's words and said with a smile: "Minister Xu is really a bit ridiculous. Why do I feel embarrassed to say this? I am not as good as he said."

Zhang Jian smiled and said, "You, don't be humble. I have seen the agricultural reform plan. I really didn't expect it to be the hands of such a young cadre. It's really admirable. If Director Yao doesn't dislike him, I really want to make friends."
