Reborn as a Noble's Son

At this moment, Dong Wan and Yang Anna were sitting on the sofa in Nie Zhenbang’s house. Naturally, the nanny was busy in the kitchen.

Watching the scene on TV, Dong Wan began to comment, “Zhenbang, it seems that Fan Changsheng is expressing dissatisfaction with you through this opportunity.”

“Sister Wan, what even if he is? There are no valid reasons for Fan Changsheng to find fault with Zhenbang. He’s only looking for a pretext. I suspect his objective is still the position of Executive Deputy Director,” Anna also commented.

Both women had grown up within such political families. Although they had not entered the official career, they still understood very well under the influence of their surroundings.

Nie Zhenbang did not say a word, a faint smile on his face. Indeed, as Anna put it, Fan Changsheng’s purpose for visiting the Municipal Public Security Bureau and giving a speech was not to criticize Chen Le. As the common saying goes, “flies do not bite seamless eggs.” And, ironically, Chen Le could be considered flawless. So, it was clearly unrealistic to bring down Chen Le just by a single research trip and speech. In fact, Fan Changsheng’s purpose was to use the Executive Deputy Director’s position as an excuse.

In the TV footage, it was very obvious that while Fan Changsheng greeted the other deputy directors in a formal manner, he was particularly warm towards Luo Jiahua. Fan Changsheng was doing this to boost Luo Jiahua’s standing. After all, among the several deputy directors of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Luo Jiahua was the youngest. So, this required a bit more effort from Fan Changsheng.

However, Nie Zhenbang sniffed at this. Although promoting Luo Jiahua was not an easy task for a Municipal Party Committee Secretary, it was also not a very difficult one.

Guicheng District

A white minivan was parked roadside at the entrance of the Spinning Factory. Recently, this van had become a frequent visitor here, sometimes even taking passengers.

At this moment, it was a little past eight in the evening, and suddenly, lights illuminated the factory area. Seeing this, the two young men in the van immediately straightened up.

“Finally, the opportunity arrives. We have been waiting for almost a month, and finally, the wait ends,” one of the young men said excitedly, clenching his fist.

Indeed, these people were the ones Chen Le had assigned to monitor Wu Aijun, the factory director. As soon as the young man finished speaking, the driver, calmly, lit a cigarette and turned to the young man beside him, “Dai, check the records. How many times has Wu Aijun’s car come out at night?”

Surveillance was not just a simple ‘watch’. A detailed record of Wu Aijun’s habits had to be maintained. Once Wu Aijun’s actions exceeded these records, it would be considered abnormal.

The young man referred to as Dai immediately took out a notebook, glanced at it under the dim street lamp, and said, “Brother Wen, this is the second time. The first time was twenty days ago. On that occasion, Wu Aijun had gone to Huang Junshan’s house. Do you think Wu Aijun will go to Huang Junshan’s house this time?”

Brother Wen took a deep drag from his cigarette. The car wasn’t very well lit, but the glowing end of the cigarette stood out. He murmured, “From the time we’ve been tasked with surveillance, within the span of thirty-five days, Wu Aijun has mostly stayed either at his home or the factory and rarely gone out. However, from the information we have acquired, Wu Aijun doesn’t have a clean lifestyle. He had once had a big fight with his wife in the factory. It seems he can’t bear it any longer.”

As he said this, Brother Wen also showed a bit of excitement. He said in a low voice, “Dai, get ready. Even the sliest fox can’t escape the hunter’s shotgun.”

As he spoke, Wu Aijun’s official car, a brand-new Audi A6 from last year, slowly drove out of the factory gate. The Audi A6 model was supposed to be introduced only after 1999. But due to changes in circumstances, Audi was no longer the only dominant car manufacturer in the country, and the contracts between domestic firms and international corporations were significantly different than before. The Audi A6, internally coded as C5, was imported directly after its release last year. The lowest-priced variant also reached the level of 400,000.

“Damn, what a vampire. The workers of the Spinning Factory have to be frugal even when buying vegetables. Many of them even pick up discarded vegetable leaves at the market. But this bastard, he gets a new high-end car that came out just last year. Even not many in the city have it, but he does.” Watching the taillights of the Audi A6, Dai on the passenger seat couldn’t help cursing in disdain.
