After coming out of He Yaozu's office, Luo Yao breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he had not become the acting director, he felt a little disappointed.

Actually, it’s nothing. He knows that his shortcomings and can have his current position, which is no longer something that ordinary people can achieve.

There is no need to be greedy for Shu.

However, he was not without gains. He recommended Huo Tian as deputy director in front of He Yaozu. It would be a pity not to mention such a good opportunity.

He did not have much confidence in whether Mao Zongxiang could keep the agreement. Mao Zongxiang was only appointed as acting director, mainly because the superiors seemed to have a glimmer of hope for Wen Yuqing, hoping that he could change his mind and return to the mountain city.

However, Luo Yao knew very well that not to mention Wen Yuqing himself, his family might not be back.

After all, the acting director is not the full director.

If Mao Zongxiang used this "excusation" to cheat and block his mouth, he would have no choice.

Luo Yao called Huo Tian and told him about Mao Zongxiang's appointment as "acting director".

At the same time, he also called Wang Weijun and asked him to cooperate with Mao Zongxiang's work.

Originally, he wanted to hand over the secretariat directly to Wang Weijun for management, but now it seems that he, the part-time job of the secretary-general of the secretariat, cannot be lost.

This is also a way to check and balance Mao Zongxiang.

...

Zhou Ran stewed some body-tonifying soup and made some food. He went to the hospital early in the morning to visit Yan Feng and Hu Xiaoling and his wife.

Yan Feng recovered very quickly. After all, he was young and used the best medical care. With the restoration of freedom, he reunited with his wife and daughter.

Everything looks good except thinking about my lost son.

Hu Xiaoling's disease is different. She has been sick for some time and has not received good treatment. Although she is out of danger, she is still very weak.

Even now that I have woken up, it is still not very convenient to move, and I need someone to help me get on and off the bed.

Moreover, this disease consumes a lot of energy, and it takes time to make up for it.

After saying some comforting words, of course, the topic is indispensable. Zhou Ran doesn't know much about Luo Yao. He only knows that he is an "anti-Japanese hero" and can speak in front of the director of the Shancheng Police Station. He obviously has a good position and is very powerful.

Also, when he heard that Luo Yao had a daughter, Yan Feng and Hu Xiaoling were also shocked.

Yan Feng and Luo Yao are brothers who sleep in the same bed, and they should be the ones who know him best. According to Luo Nan's age, wouldn't Luo Yao have children when he was in school?

This is not surprising. In this era, when men get married at the age of 18 and women have children at the age of 16, that is all the most common thing.

When it comes to Luo Yao, it is natural to mention Gong Hui. As a woman's intuition, Zhou Ran naturally feels that the relationship between Gong Hui and Luo Yao is not ordinary.

Although Luo Yao explained that Gong Hui was his partner, a woman could see a lot of things when she looked at a man.

For men you like, and for men you don’t like or don’t want to do, the things in your eyes are different.

This is a feeling that cannot be explained clearly in words.

Hu Xiaoling has never seen Gong Hui, so it is difficult to judge. Yan Feng has seen him, but he just didn't pay much attention, but he could also notice that Gong Hui was not obedient to Luo Yao's words to his superiors, and that kind of protection.

It is definitely from the inside.

But he couldn't say what the relationship was. After all, this matter needs to be viewed rationally and objectively.

This is someone else's private life, so I don't care much about it.

"Now, there is a big deal outside because of Yan Feng's incident. Everyone is expressing dissatisfaction and protesting to the authorities for Yan Feng's innocent arrest, false accusation, and severely tortured. Yan Feng, you have become a celebrity." Zhou Ran said to Yan Feng.

"ah?"

"Don't worry, no one knows about your hospitalization here. Luo Yao should have told you not to accept interviews randomly, right?"

"Yeah." Yan Feng nodded.

"He did it right. If you say a wrong sentence now, it will cause a huge uproar to the outside world. Don't talk nonsense." Zhou Ran also reminded, "Don't worry, I can help you convey relevant information. Luo Yao did not forbid me to visit you, which means he will still have a conscience."

"I know, I don't ask for anything else now, I just ask our family of four to be safe and sound." Yan Feng said.

"It's good that you can think so. When this matter is over, you can restore your peaceful life." Zhou Ran nodded, "I won't say anything anymore, I have to leave. Luo Yao also asked me to talk about the matter."

...

"Zhou Ran!"

"Jiang Lin..." Zhou Ran turned around and saw a familiar Lian, and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"It's really you, you finally got it." Jiang Lin ran over excitedly and hugged Zhou Ran, "What are you doing in the hospital? I haven't heard you are sick. Could it be that Yan Feng and his wife are in this hospital?"

"Are you following me?" Zhou Ran's face suddenly changed.

"No, I went to you early in the morning and wanted to talk to you about the registration below. Others don't know your relationship with Yan Feng. This is my exclusive secret!" Jiang Lin said. Gu.

"Jiang Lin, do you know? I regret telling you about those things now. The city is full of storms. God knows how much trouble it will cause!" Zhou Ran said with a headache.

"If such a big thing is not told to me, it will be exposed sooner or later. Don't worry, if you give me the news, I will not betray you." Jiang Lin said.

"I'm afraid not."

"I really didn't tell anyone. Even our president asked me where the news came from, I didn't say it." Jiang Lin said, "I know, this matter doesn't matter to me. I'm in this industry anyway. You are different. If you are targeted by those people, it will be endless trouble. How could I harm you?"

This is believed. If Jiang Lin really leaked the inside story of her revealing the Yan Feng case, she would have been approached by a "reporter" at this moment, and maybe there would be spies among them.

At that time, she was in high spirits and told Jiang Lin about Yan Feng's incident, hoping that Jiang Lin would use newspaper public opinion to expose this matter, put strong public opinion pressure on these lawless spies to seek justice for Yan Feng's family.

But now public opinion has arisen, but things have become a big deal. When Yan Feng's case comes out, it is like igniting a powder barrel, which instantly ignits all sectors of the mountain city against the spies of the two dynasties, frame them randomly for their own selfish desires, and even act against them. They even have dissatisfaction with the authorities' dictatorship.

All newspapers and magazines began to criticize and criticize the "spy agencies" ruthlessly, and they had the attitude of not abolishing the "two unions".

This is not a good thing, at least for Zhou Ran, not.

"Okay, I have something to do, don't follow me anymore." Zhou Ran was going to Luo Yao's date and couldn't bring Jiang Lin with him.

"Are you going back to school? You just took me a ride. I just happened to return to the office?" Jiang Lin said.

"I won't go back to school." Zhou Ran opened the car door and sat up. He was about to start the car and leave, but Jiang Lin was so busy that he got in.

"Anyway, I'm fine. Wherever you go, where I go." Jiang Lin said with a break.

"Miss Jiang, I'm really worried. Can you call a rickshaw and go back by yourself?" Zhou Ran said patiently.

"Date, aren't you even more that Mr. Guo just broke up? Have you ever had a new goal so soon?" Jiang Lin asked very gossipedly.

"It's not a date, it's a business."

"Then take me with you when you do something, maybe I can give you some advice?"

"Jiang Lin, I don't have time to talk nonsense to you. If you don't get out of the car, I'll get out." Zhou Ran was about to pull the car door.

"Don't, I'll get off the car, it's not okay!" Seeing that Zhou Ran was really angry, Jiang Lin said hurriedly.

Seeing Jiang Lin get out of the car, Zhou Ran started the car and left.

What she didn't expect was that Jiang Lin then got on a rickshaw next to her, told the coachman to chase Zhou Ran's car.

...

In front of Twilight Building, Zhou Ran parked the car on the side of the road. She had just delayed for a few minutes at the entrance of the hospital. In addition, the road was covered in snow and slippery, so she didn't dare to drive too fast.

By the time I arrived at my destination, it was almost ten minutes later than the agreed time.

She hurriedly ran over the cafe in the evening.

Unknown to notice, a rickshaw followed behind him and stopped across the street. A woman wrapped in a headscarf got out of the car.

He looked up at the Twilight Mansion, and a hint of complexity and cowardice appeared in his eyes.

This place seemed to leave her with unpleasant memories, or she had unspeakable complex emotions about this.

After hesitating for a moment, she paid the fare, and she walked over.

During today's meeting, Xin Xiaowu arranged an independent small room for Luo Yao, and he didn't want anyone to know about meeting Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran is likely to leak the news to the source of the newspaper, so he naturally needs to take corresponding protective measures.

"Is it Miss Zhou Ran?"

As soon as Zhou Ran entered the Twilight Cafe, she was recognized by Xin Xiaowu who had been waiting for her and came forward to inquire.

"yes."

"Mr. Luo told me, just come with me." Xin Xiaowu nodded slightly.

"Are you?" Zhou Ran hesitated for a moment. After all, she had never been here and did not know Xin Xiaowu. She was a little wary of strangers.

"Ms. Zhou Ran, don't worry, the industries here belong to Mr. Luo Yao. I am a subordinate of Mr. Luo. I arranged to meet here for confidentiality and safety." Xin Xiaowu explained, "Ms. Hui should have mentioned it to you."

Zhou Ran nodded, then confirmed Xin Xiaowu's identity, followed him through the hall and walked inside.

"Mr. Luo is in the VIP private room, which is specially provided for guests to meet in private." Xin Xiaowu entered Zhou Ran and said to the front of the VIP private room No. 1, "You go in by yourself, I won't disturb you."

Xin Xiaowu turned his head and left.

Zhou Ran calmed down at this time and reached out to knock on the door.

"Please come in!" A familiar voice came out from the door. Zhou Ran pushed open the door without hesitation and walked in.
