Chapter 226 He Anning

ll... nothing is absolute.”The reproachful look made Wang Zheng's heart tremble. However, for such a profound question, he really couldn't give an answer.Fated to meet but not meant to be together It...Chapter 226 He Anning

He Yan's family life after marriage was simple and happy.

His wife didn't have a busy job. She would come home from work every day to wash clothes, cook meals, and wait for He Yan to return. Of course, He Yan rarely returned on time due to the many unforeseen circumstances at the State Security Department that required his personal direction.

However, unless He Yan didn’t come back to sleep at all, no matter how late it was, his wife would always wait for him before going to bed. This gave He Yan, who had been used to living alone, a warm expectation in his heart every day, no matter how tired or late he was; among the myriad lights of this capital city, there was one light that belonged solely to him.

For He Yan now, "home" wasn't just a single character or a simple symbol but an actual shelter, a place where he could look forward to every day and relax his mind daily.

After returning home from work with a tired body and seeing the steaming hot meals, his heart would always feel warm. Whenever that delicate hand warmed up by gently massaging He Yan's neck and shoulders, He Yan would turn around and clasp this pair of delicate hands in his large ones tightly.

"Actually, getting married is really quite good," said He Yan.

(Aunt Xiao Mu, thank you.)

Seeing the look in He Yan's eyes, Wang Zheng couldn't help but smile slightly: "There will be a time when I have to visit and taste my sister-in-law's cooking. It's hard to imagine what kind of virtuous woman could make this spy chief want to get married."

He Yan laughed and said, "You'd better not try it now; I don't dare let my wife cook anymore. Anyone who dares to ask her to do any work will have me to deal with."

Wang Zheng was taken aback: "What's going on"

Li Xiaoxiao spat out a rabbit bone and said, "Brother Zheng, when did you become so dense Can't you tell that my sister-in-law is pregnant! The boss is about to be a father!"

"Is it true" Wang Zheng asked excitedly.

He Yan held up two fingers: "It's just been two months."

"Impressive!" said Wang Zheng, very happy. "When the baby comes, I want to be the godfather!"

"No way, I'm afraid you might corrupt him," He Yan said cheerfully.

"It doesn't matter, I'll just adopt him as a godson." After Wang Zheng said this, he asked again: "Wait, what son or daughter Do you even know the gender"

"No idea."

"Have you thought of a name yet"

"That's such a distant matter, I haven't given it any thought yet."

Wang Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "I've already picked a name. Would you like to hear it"

"What is the name" He Yan asked with interest.

"Peace, or rather, He Ping'an," Wang Zheng calmly replied. "It can be used regardless of gender. May they live their entire lives in peace and contentment."

He Yan thought about the name for a moment and then said: "True peace comes from within; it's an excellent name. Let's use this one."

"Brothers, let's toast to this name," Little Li raised his glass and uncommonly spoke seriously.

"To He Ping'an!"

The three glasses clinked together.

Only people like He Yan and Wang Zheng who had spent their lives fighting and living on the edge could truly understand what "peace" meant. They wished for their children to be ordinary folks, needing neither high status nor outstanding achievements; they just wanted them to live a peaceful life. To those who have weathered great storms, nothing is more precious or rare than this wish.

"Oh right, I caused such chaos at the State Security Bureau's Eleventh Division, how are you going to clean up after me" Wang Zheng couldn't help but ask as he recalled the door with eleven bullet holes from the Eleventh Division.

"Just deal with it casually," He Yan frowned when reminded of this. "Tao Tangtian abused his power for personal gain, and I haven't held him accountable yet. How could he dare to say anything"

"But you said you'd put those agents under house arrest for three days. Do you really mean it" Wang Zheng expressed some concern. "Using such heavy-handed methods right off the bat might alienate people, don't you think"

"It's fine. I want to completely revamp the Eleventh Bureau. Over these years, Tao Tangtian has been stationed here, leaving a strong personal imprint on this place. My first task is to remove that imprint; otherwise, management will be difficult in the future and work won't proceed smoothly."

Pausing for a moment, He Yan continued: "In times of chaos, severe measures must be taken, which is exactly what I mean."

Wang Zheng sighed, "You politicians are really calculating. It's just unfortunate for the agents at the Eleventh Bureau. The one with the code name Swallow, I was actually planning to introduce her to you, but who knew that you're already about to have a child."

"Currently, I don't want to find a female agent; no matter how good an agent is, she can never compare to your sister-in-law," He Yan said with a smile. "Swallow seems quite promising, like a fiery little girl—why don’t you go and court her"

Wang Zheng also pursed his lips: "She's not my type."

"Big chest on a youthful face is right up my alley!" Li Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke out; the other two men simultaneously smacked him on the back of the head.

"But Tao Tangtian won't let this go easily," Wang Zheng said. "I can tell that he's very ambitious and unwilling, and after I crippled one of his legs, he must be extremely resentful and will definitely take it out on you as the acting deputy minister."

"He does indeed have a strong background, but as long as this fellow is under me, I'll deal with him," He Yan said confidently.

"Don't let your guard down; it's not pleasant to be targeted by someone who wants revenge," Wang Zheng said worriedly. "Tao Tangtian really isn't an easy person to handle, and the other side of the fence, Xu Shuliang needs to be dealt with as well; that old man is truly deserving of death."

...

Might have been because of the Same Song Concert, Capital Normal University was quite lively. There were lights everywhere, and students' faces were filled with joy and ease.

A university is a university, an ivory tower that everyone yearns for.

Walking through the campus was an odd combination: a rather handsome man, a middle-aged uncle who looked serious yet firm, and another boyish young man who seemed somewhat lecherous with small eyes constantly sneaking glances at pretty women. This peculiar group was certainly eye-catching on campus.

Especially He Yan; his natural aura of authority exuded from the core of his being, making him a focal point wherever he went. Giggling female students never imagined that this seemingly manly uncle could possibly become one of China's youngest ministerial officials.

The concert was held on the sports field, and an hour before it started, there were already crowds everywhere. Among these students were many star chasers; to see so many stars up close was indeed a rare experience for them. Moreover, seeing the super popular new celebrity in the entertainment industry and Capital Normal University's campus beauty Liu Xuan tonight made many single male bachelors and wealthy singles bring flowers and hold signs, hoping to get a glimpse of this goddess.

Walking around the campus, Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental. Each time he came to this school, nothing good seemed to happen. Many things changed because of him, and even here, a student had permanently lost their right to live due to him.

However, Wang Zheng felt no regret about Zhu Feng's death. The path one takes in life is chosen by oneself; if you don't take responsibility for others' lives, then someday someone else won't take responsibility for yours either. Over the years, Wang Zheng had seen too many such incidents and done plenty of heroic deeds to punish evil. To him, shooting a male student who had committed numerous wrongdoings with his rifle was not even worth mentioning.

Perhaps because they were in the middle of rehearsals, Liu Xuan's phone kept going unanswered. Wang Zheng looked at the crowded stadium and realized that if he watched from afar, he wouldn't be able to see the actors clearly when the performance started.

Tugging He Yan and Li Xiaoxiao through the crowd to get backstage, they were stopped by a staff member with an ID badge.

Since the concert was being held at Capital Normal University, most of the staff members were students from the Student Council. The temporary backstage area was where many stars got dressed up and made up for their performances; several big-name TV celebrities were inside too. It wouldn't be allowed for non-staff to enter.

"This is the performance backstage area. No unauthorized personnel allowed!" This student held his ground, looking as if no one could pass him.

“Why do you speak so rudely” Li Xiaoxiao was instantly irritated: "What do you mean by 'unauthorized personnel' Say it again!”

The student sneered and looked sideways at Li Xiaoxiao, regarding this man in a yellow work uniform with glasses and a lecherous expression as even more of a low-life than himself. College students often had an air of pride when dealing with people from society, especially construction workers; this student was no exception.

However, how could this slightly worldly student have imagined that the person in front of him wearing tattered clothes and looking about his age would actually be one of China's top ten rich playboys

The likes of Wang Xiaofei and the other three young men from Beijing were completely outshone by super-rich playboys like Su Tianran, Li Tianshu, and Li Xiaoxiao.

“I’ve already made myself clear: no unauthorized personnel allowed!” The student had an air of arrogance that suggested he was a small but not insignificant leader within the Student Council. "No unauthorized personnel! Can't you understand"

"I’m going in anyway, see if you can stop me," Li Xiaoxiao said and tried to push past him.

“You stinky construction worker, what’s with this attitude” The student sneered at him. "Go cool off somewhere else; this place isn’t for someone like you."

"What's wrong with me being a construction worker" Li Xiaoxiao bent down to look around as he said: "Today I'm going to find a brick and teach you a lesson so that you can learn your place."

“Hello, we are here to see Liu Xuan,” Wang Zheng stepped forward at this point, smiled slightly, and said: “She asked us to come. We are all her friends.”

The student sized Wang Zheng up from head to toe, then sneered sideways as he replied, "Friends If you're friends with Liu Xuan, then Liu Xuan is my girlfriend! her personal garden and all villagers as servants, unable to tolerate anyone else stirring up trouble there. How could a servant rise above the master!"Big cousin, you have to take the side of my bro...
