Chapter Fifteen: Two Neuroses

  The sunset fills the sky, and the north wind blows gently, making for a very comfortable dusk.

  The shaded path behind the ward building, Lu Zhong and Liu Baojun strolled and chatted.

  "Director Yu said that we need to find a suitable opportunity, find a suitable position..." Liu Baojun smiled and said, "He's not shirking responsibility, I can tell, he should be able to help arrange something for you."

  Zhang Yuke has left, before leaving he had a chat with Lu Zhong and seemed very concerned about him.

  Just then, Liu Baojun said that Zhang Lao and Zhang Yugong had a very deep relationship. In the chaos, it can even be said that Zhang Lao saved Zhang Yugong's life once. Now that Zhang Lao has spoken out, both emotionally and rationally, Zhang Yugong cannot refuse.

  Moreover, Lu Zhong felt that being able to reuse himself might not be an undesirable outcome for Zhang Yuke, after all, he had also been promoted by him and was considered half a person in his circle.

  It's just that he himself is far from the extent to which he can exert his strength, but the old comrades of the Municipal Commission have spoken out, and this has resulted in a concerted effort, so he can just go with the flow.

  Of course, it's leaving Gu Wei now. The current self will inevitably go to a cold door agency. In fact, the situation may not be better than in Gu Wei, but moving around can often take off the deputy researcher's hat.

  Zhang Yuke left Liu Baojun before he went, also to comfort himself, and hinted that he was still a cadre he valued.

  "In short, don't worry." Liu Baojun patted Lu Zhong's shoulder.

  Lu Zhong smiled and nodded.

  ……

  On Sunday evening, after class, Xiaoli ran to the back door of the classroom to wait for Lu Zhong and asked him to have dinner with her in the cafeteria. She said that there were some pretty girls in her dormitory who wanted to meet him.

  Xiao Lai is also a notable figure in the school, chatting and giggling with Lu Zhong at the back of the classroom, attracting countless envious glances.

  Then, Lu Zhong felt something was off and suddenly turned his head back. Indeed, beside the classroom's back door, a policewoman in a uniform was smiling ambiguously at him. Her slender, olive-green uniform dress, bright red collar badge, and white blouse underneath made her look like a modern-day Hua Mulan, elegant and refined. Underneath the green police uniform, her tall and plump breasts, soft and delicate waistline were all on display. The hem of her skirt revealed her smooth, silk-stockinged legs, which were partially hidden from view. A pair of black, low-heeled leather shoes supported her full yet slender figure, making her look even more charming and lovely, leaving one's imagination running wild.

  The students who had not left the classroom and those passing by in the corridor outside were all secretly sizing up Wei Xiangxiu, and for these students who were oblivious to the world outside their studies, including those in society, the appearance of this uniformed beauty police officer was truly stunning and shocking.

  It is said that on the same night, some boys' dormitories in the school of mechanical and electrical engineering saw a surge in toilet paper usage, and some male students understood for the first time what "five sisters" meant.

  "Find me?" Lu Zhong asked and then knew he had said something unnecessary. He then said to Xiaoli, "It seems that I'll have to treat you next time."

  Xiao Li glanced at the beautiful policewoman who also made her feel inferior, then nodded: "Zhuangzi brother, I'll go first."

  She walked out of the classroom for a long time, but couldn't help turning her head to look at Wei Xiang's beautiful and sexy back, lowered her head to look at her own chest, and suddenly became somewhat insecure.

  "Many people have introduced you to someone, right?" Wei Xiangxiu suddenly asked while sitting in Lu Zhen's small car.

  The sedan drove out of the campus, and Lu Zhong smiled and said: "If you had agreed with me earlier, wouldn't all this have been avoided?"

  "Wei Xiangxiu snapped, 'You wouldn't really marry me anyway. If I had agreed to divorce you for real, you would have run away with your tail between your legs!'"

  Lu Zhong chuckled and asked himself in his heart, "Will I?" But thinking about it, he couldn't even figure out what he was thinking.

  "Where are we going?" Lu Zhong asked after turning onto Xinhua Road.

  Wei Xiangxiu shook her head and said: "I don't know, never mind, let's just find a place to eat, I'll treat."

  "Bad mood, something's wrong?" Although he was a bit dull when it came to emotions, Lu Zhong could tell at a glance whether Wei Xiangxiu was in a good or bad mood.

  "It's nothing." Wei Xiangxiu shook her head.

  "What's going on? Hurry up and say it! I can't stand women who only say half of what they mean, being so affected!" Lu Zhong furrowed his brow.

  Lu Zhong scolded her with one sentence, but Wei Xiangxiu smiled lightly and said: "You, who else do you want to fall in love with? You say it yourself, who can put up with your temper?"

  Lu Zhong furrowed his brow again.

  "Alright, I'll say it, just stop scolding people, my mood is already bad enough!"

  Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel that he was being a bit unreasonable, so he hummed in agreement and swallowed the scolding words that had reached his lips.

  Wei Xiangxiu let out a soft sigh, "You know my uncle, He Daxing, He Laowu? They've always been with my parents-in-law and us. The local authorities were concerned, so they arranged a job for him as a security guard."

  Lu Zhong nodded slightly and said, "I know these things." Lu Zhong also knew that Wei Xiangxiu's two younger brothers had returned to the south, and her hometown of Yuhang Civil Affairs Department had made proper arrangements for them, and had also issued a subsidy for difficulties.

  The propaganda of newspapers nowadays has a great impact, the media is the real king without a crown, of course, it is the uncrowned king that can only be controlled by the official and propagate the main melody.

  Wei Xiangxiu smiled wryly and said: "Lao Wu's leadership is now always harassing me..."

  What the...! Lu Zhong's face turned red with rage, "Damn it, is this old bastard Deng Kuiren? Is he asking to die?!" As the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau in charge of public security, Deng Kuiren was responsible for the Public Security Department, the Joint Defense and Security Team, security guards, and other civilian security organizations.

  Although Deng Kuiwen is the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, to be honest, with Lu Zhong's pride and bias in his past life, he secretly thinks that even if it's a municipal leader, let alone a deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, Lu Zhong may not take them seriously.

  It's not about being a good person or not, but about being a human being or not!

  Lu Zhong's arrogance and pride were deeply buried in the depths of his rationality, but when he heard that Wei Xiangxiu was being harassed, he didn't care about anything else and immediately blew up!

  I'm Lu Zhong's woman, who dares to touch?!

  "This old bastard doesn't want to live anymore!" Lu Zhong is now thinking of ways to get rid of him.

  Wei Xiangxiu was startled by Lu Zhong's sudden outburst of anger, and seeing Lu Zhong's gloomy face, it seemed that he was really planning to get rid of Deng Kuixin. Wei Xiangxiu was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a moment.

  After a while, Wei Xiangxiu stammered: "No, not Deng Ju, the leaders of the Municipal Bureau are still very upright, usually I also can't get in touch with them."

  "Ah?" Lu Zhong was thinking of going to a friend in Beijing, and finding a gunman shouldn't be too hard.

  "Who's that?" Lu Zhong glared at Wei Xiangxiu, "Can't even speak clearly!"

  Wei Xiangxiu pouted and said, "I won't say anything!" She turned her head to look out the car window.

  Lu Zhong scratched his head for a moment, knowing that Wei Xiangxiu was angry with him for scolding her. But how could he coax her? Ah, women are really troublesome.

  After holding back for half a day, Lu Zhong finally stammered: "Alright, I...I was wrong."

  Wei Xiangxiu was so angry, but suddenly heard Huo Tu's stuttering words and couldn't help but burst out laughing. The dark clouds in the sky were swept away, she turned her head and gave Lu Zhong a glance, saying: "Don't come! I don't dare!"

  Actually thinking about Lu Zhong's furious outburst earlier, the violent behavior that didn't even put the municipal leaders in his eyes, all for her sake, although it was quite frightening, yet it also gave one an indescribable feeling of happiness.

  Wei Xiangxiu has been aware of protecting herself since she was a teenager. She has a natural distrust of the outside world and has never known what it means to feel safe.

  And now, this sweet taste is the feeling of being protected by someone?

  Wei Xiangxiu was lost in thought.

  "Alright, hurry up and say it." Lu Zhong urged again, pulling Wei Xiangxiu back from her sweet fantasy to the "cold" reality.

  This guy is absolutely not going to make anyone happy for more than half a minute. Wei Xiangxiu was speechless, but could only continue, "Even Zhang Feng, the captain of the Public Security Bureau's large team and also the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, who always had ill intentions, would chat with me and invite me to dinner several times, which I didn't attend. Now, he's become friends with my little uncle, who is sucking up to him big time! Today, he even invited him to our home for dinner. You say, how can Old Five be such a person? He knows what Zhang Feng means, but for his own sake, he would sell out his own sister!"

  "Never mind, anyway, I won't be able to go home today." Wei Xiangxiu said, her pretty face gradually darkening again. "Let's go eat, my treat, and then watch a movie, we can head back later."

  Lu Zhong furrowed his brow: "Call Zhang Feng, is that right? Just promoted?"

  Lu Zhong also often dealt with the Municipal Public Security Bureau in Guangning, but had never heard of this Zhang Feng.

  According to the document issued by the Municipal Compilation Committee last year, the Public Security Bureau's Governance and Security Department is a deputy department-level unit, with seven sections and one brigade. This brigade is the Governance and Security Brigade, also known as the "Urban Construction Governance and Security Police Brigade", which is a deputy section-level unit.

  Wei Xiangxiu nodded, "It's the new one."

  Lu Zhong hummed and said, "Run to your home? Why hide from him, like this. I'll go with you, we'll eat together with him, I want to see what he's up to!"

  "Ah?" Wei Xiangxiu was startled, with her parents-in-law at home, plus Xiao Shuzi and Zhang Feng, it's already chaotic enough, and now this live bandit wants to join in, that would be more lively than a play.

  However, when she heard Huo Tu's bandits repeatedly calling each other "brother", Wei Xiangxiu felt a strange sensation in her heart.

  Just then, from behind, a car horn suddenly sounded.

  Lu Zhong looked back through the rearview mirror, behind his car was a Crown tightly following, and continuously honking the horn. Needless to say, it must be Huang Zixuan.

  There aren't many sedans on the streets nowadays, it's probably because Huang Zixuan saw his own car and followed it all the way here.

  Lu Zhong didn't bother to argue with him and said to Wei Xiangxiu: "You're from Building 13, Room 501?"

  Wei Xiangxiu wanted to persuade Lu Zhong not to go, but seeing Lu Zhong's frightening expression with a sullen face, she didn't dare to persuade him and could only nod lightly.

  The crown behind suddenly overtook from the left, and ran side by side with Lu Zhong's car. The people in the crown also rolled down the window and shouted loudly: "Hey, Zhongzi! It's me, it's me! Xiao Si'er!"

  Who else could it be but Huang Zixian?

  Lu Zhong instead leaned against the car window, with a belly full of anger, and was too lazy to bother with this second-generation ancestor.

  On the other side, Huang Zixuan was so angry that he punched his car body with his fist and scolded: "Zhengzi, you bastard! You don't recognize me again! Today I'll see how long you can pretend! I don't believe it, this broken car can shake off me?!"

  "Who is this?" Wei Xiangxiu looked at the man who stuck his head out of another sedan in a bewildered manner.

  "It doesn't matter, he's mentally ill." Lu Zhong said with his mouth, and Wei Xiangxiu's evaluation of Huang Zixuan in her heart coincided.
