The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 306 - 304: Timely Rain and Grievances

Ling Chengyan listened with a smile as Wang Liansheng boasted, praising his achievements from the past few days.

"Do you think it’s okay too?" Wang Liansheng, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise, scratched his head with a goofy smile.

Ling Chengyan sincerely nodded in affirmation, patted the textbooks on the table, and said, "I am going to study and will probably fall behind, so get familiar with it in advance. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I can ask you."

Though the words were not particularly gentle, Wang Liansheng was very pleased, even somewhat satisfied, quickly nodding in agreement: "I was also thinking I should find time to study, these books of yours are right on time."

As he spoke, he leaned over, resting one hand on the bed, gently bumped his wife’s forehead and said, "You’re such a timely rain."

Ling Chengyan lowered her eyes, hiding the panic and confusion in them. She slowly lifted her gaze once he had retreated and his warm breath had drifted away, a full smile gradually rising in her eyes: "Mm."

She accepted the compliment, but as for being a timely rain, she’d rather not. That ’timely rain’ from Shuihu Liangshan was nothing but a coward!

The next day, Wang Liansheng brought the evidence he had gathered of Zhou Gongshe’s bribery, misconduct, and favoritism to the office. As soon as he stepped in, he noticed the atmosphere was a bit different from usual. Everyone who saw him gave him an extra glance, and those he knew were particularly enthusiastic in greeting him.

Normally, it wouldn’t take him even two minutes to park his bicycle and get to the office, but today he was delayed for over ten minutes being pulled aside for idle chatter.

It wasn’t that hot yet, but he was sweating by the time he got there.

Entering the office, Liu Yan happened to be walking out with a mop. Upon seeing him, Liu Yan put the mop aside without rinsing it, pulled Wang Liansheng in, and casually closed the office door.

The key thing was, before closing the door, he peeked out to check left and right, looking all secretive. Anyone who didn’t know would think they were secret agents meeting up.

"What’s happening?" Wang Liansheng put down his bag and went to wash his hands at the basin.

Liu Yan and Zhang Changrong, two young colleagues, immediately gathered around, unable to contain their excitement, their faces animated, even the pimple on Zhang Changrong’s nose turned purple from excitement.

"Leader, haven’t you heard?" Zhang Changrong asked in a hush, winking covertly.

Wang Liansheng raised his hand and pushed away Zhang Changrong’s long face, wiping his hands with a towel, turning towards the desk: "If there’s something to say, just say it properly, don’t act weird."

After being pushed away, Zhang Changrong was pretending to be a hurt damsel, expressing his grievance and heartbreak, but Liu Yan eagerly squeezed forward to take the lead.

Liu Yan: "Boss, you haven’t heard yet? Zhou Gongshe from the sanitation department was taken away, just now, several people came, went straight in and put cuffs on Zhou Gongshe... blah blah blah..."

Wang Liansheng was somewhat dumbfounded, holding the thermos but forgetting to pour water, instinctively asking: "How come he was taken away today?"

"Heh, someone like that getting taken away, it was bound to happen sooner or later, wasn’t it?" Zhang Changrong replied eagerly, adding, "Just now I went out to fetch water and deliberately took a turn to listen, there’s all sorts of talk, some say he’s messing around with women, others say he’s taking bribes..."

After talking for quite some time, Zhang Changrong didn’t actually say anything particularly useful.

Liu Yan brushed him aside, grinning: "I have exact news, they say he’s keeping a mistress outside, who even bore him children... two!"

Zhang Changrong widened his mouth in shock: "Raised two? Wow, Zhou Gongshe in that shape, who’d have thought he’s got the stamina for this!"

Liu Yan disdainfully pursed his lips, brushed Zhang Changrong aside again, saying: "Bore two, a pair of twins, two daughters!"

Wang Liansheng wasn’t particularly interested in these rumors anymore. What concerned him was the materials in his pocket, the evidence he had spent days collecting but hadn’t been used yet!

Although it saved him quite a bit of trouble by not having to act, there was a bit of disappointment in not being able to strike when ready.

He turned around, poured water to steady himself, when he turned back again, his thoughts were much calmer: "Alright, you two, be careful these days, don’t go wandering around checking for information."

He had just had a confrontation with Zhou Gongshe a few days ago, and now with Zhou Gongshe arrested, there’d surely be many watching him and his office. If they act too excited jumping around, they might undoubtedly be gossiped about.

Sometimes, human psychology is quite subtle. When opposing parties are evenly matched, right and wrong can still be discerned. However, when one side falls into difficulty, some people choose to selectively forget these, instinctively pitying the fallen.

Although this matter was what Wang Liansheng wanted to tackle, regardless of whether it was him who did it or not, he didn’t want to challenge human hearts. Whether called smooth or protective, he merely wished to live a bit more comfortably, not wanting to be maliciously treated or talked about.

With such stern reprimand, Zhang Changrong and Liu Yan, though young, restrained themselves significantly, whether they understood or not, they were willing to heed Wang Liansheng’s words.

"Pack up, let’s go take a stroll at some schools." Wang Liansheng simply took the two out, avoiding those inquiring eyes, intentional or not.

When Wang Liansheng and the others returned after visiting several schools, it was nearly evening, close to the time to get off work. Liu Yan went out to deliver a document and came back with new news: Zhou Gongshe’s son was also taken away, allegedly for hooliganism and robbery, possibly even more serious than his father’s crimes.

Zhang Changrong immediately chimed in, "Tsk, tsk, lucky he didn’t get caught two years ago."

Two years ago, there was a major crackdown, ’Swift and harsh, catching them all,’ had the Zhou father and son committed their crimes then, they couldn’t have escaped a dire consequence.

As for policy matters, Wang Liansheng knew more than the two. Although it wasn’t as strict as two years ago in terms of severe crackdowns, the principle of ’heavier and faster’ was not entirely negated. Zhou Father and son being caught now meant there was no chance of escape, at least several years behind bars were inevitable.

That night, when Wang Liansheng returned home, there wasn’t much difference, still cheerfully bustling about cooking, watching the two kids do homework, read, and draw until they were asleep. After freshening up, he went into the couple’s bedroom, finally dropping his shoulders, revealing a dejected demeanor.

Ling Chengyan was leaning against the bed, reading. She noticed him coming, scooted inside a bit, looked up at his expression with surprise: "What’s wrong?"

"Honey..." Wang Liansheng didn’t answer but plaintively called, then nestled up, burying his head straight into his wife’s embrace.

"Oh? You..." Ling Chengyan exclaimed in surprise, unable to ask anything, suddenly thought of something and paused her words.

Then, her brows and mouth couldn’t help but curve into a smile, silently laughing.
