Chapter 456 I must abide by the rules
In the dim light of dawn, the Goldsmith Bay Villa gradually fades away from the haziness of the night and reveals its luxurious outline.
The soft morning light is like a delicate gauze curtain, gently covering the carved beams and painted buildings of the villa, outlining magnificent light and shadow.
Outside the villa, in the carefully trimmed garden, the beautiful flowers are covered with last night's dewdrops, flickering in the dim light, as if telling of last night's tranquility.
In the bedroom, the big white bed looked like a tranquil sea of snow. Mu Xiaoji was lying on it alone with a calm face.
Compared to his haggard appearance yesterday in the prison administration department, he has regained some vitality.
He was breathing evenly, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his eyelids, making it difficult to imagine the ups and downs he had experienced before.
His breathing was even and slow, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his eyelids, making it difficult to imagine the twists and turns he had experienced before.
At this moment, the sudden ringing of the phone was like a sharp blade, instantly breaking the silence.
Mu Xiaoji slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness was still a little fuzzy, and he rolled his eyes in confusion.
But he soon reacted and hurriedly reached out to the bedside table to fumble for his cell phone.
When his eyes focused on the three words "Director Xu" on the screen, he suddenly started to wake up, sat up from the bed in an instant, and quickly answered the phone, his tone full of nervousness and urgency: "Hello, Director Xu, how is the discussion going?"
On the other end of the phone, Director Xu's tone was as cheerful as a bird announcing good news in the morning: "Congratulations, Mu Xiaoji! Your sincerity touched our leaders yesterday.
The leadership mobilized the resources of the G City government departments overnight and launched a special investigation procedure. Through the judicial cooperation network, they worked closely with relevant departments to thoroughly investigate the matter between you and Jiang Hao.
You have done a lot of good deeds since graduation, you have done a lot of good deeds!"
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, a humble smile appeared on his face, and he said on the phone: "These are nothing, they are all within my ability."
Director Xu laughed heartily and joked, "Next time I see you, you can't call me by my name! You have to call me Mr. Mu or Mr. Mu Shanren."
Mu Xiaoji was flattered when he heard this, and said quickly, "No, no, no, Director Xu, please just call me by my name, it's more intimate this way."
"Haha, okay, okay, you are a low-key guy. I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have done great things and are thriving." Director Xu continued with a smile.
Mu Xiaoji frowned slightly and anxiously brought the topic back: "Director Xu, please stop teasing me. Has Jiang Hao been approved to leave the prison to visit his family?"
Director Xu then slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Haha, I was so excited to learn about your deeds over the years that I forgot about the important things.
You can go back today and wait for a phone call. As for Jiang Hao, although he has been approved to leave prison to visit his family, he still needs to handle a series of related matters.
In order to fulfill the old man's dying wish, you will immediately set off to the local jurisdiction and submit a new application for Jiang Hao to leave prison to visit his mother, as well as a copy of the relevant materials for his mother's critical illness certificate, to ensure that he will not be delayed in meeting his mother when he arrives there."
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, he was pleasantly surprised and said with gratitude: "Okay, I'll leave right away. Thank you, Director Xu, for the trouble!"
"Haha, no, no, it's my duty." Director Xu said, and then hung up the phone. After Mu Xiaoji hung up the phone, he hurried into the bathroom and started to wash up.
In the slightly dim and narrow corridor of the urban prison, the cold lights emitted a pale light, which was reflected on the walls and cast distorted shadows.
Two tall police officers, one on the left and one on the right, held Jiang Hao tightly as he walked forward. Jiang Hao's steps were hurried and flustered, and every step was filled with uncontrollable anxiety from deep within his heart.
His lips trembled slightly, his eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness, and his mother's frail face kept appearing in his mind.
From the moment he learned that his mother was critically ill, his heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles. At this moment, he wished he could grow wings and fly to his mother's side.
However, he was eager to go home, and he could not ignore the law. He regretted his past actions, was blinded by greed, and was greedy for temporary benefits, and neglected the hard work of his deceased mother in raising him.
Now, she doesn't even have anyone to serve her. She lies alone and helpless on the cold hospital bed, waiting for her son who is away from home with her life hanging by a thread.
Finally, they arrived at the door of the interview room. One of the police officers stretched out his hand, which was rough and strong due to long-term work, and he skillfully opened the door of the interview room.
Jiang Hao was brought into this slightly cramped room. The air in the room seemed to be frozen, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air.
As soon as Jiang Hao stepped in, he saw the prison warden Chen Hongyu sitting behind a table in the middle of the room.
Warden Chen is a man in his fifties, with a sturdy build. His face carries the majesty that comes with the years, but his eyes reveal a barely perceptible gentleness.
He was wearing a neat uniform, and the logo on his shoulder straps gleamed faintly under the light, highlighting his identity and responsibility.
On his left sat Lin Jianguo, the head of the Penal Execution Section. Lin was in his early 40s, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. His eyes behind the lenses were shrewd and capable. He had been in charge of matters related to the execution of penalties in the prison for a long time and was familiar with every process.
On the right is Su Qing, deputy chief of the Prison Administration Section. Deputy Chief Su is in her thirties, with neat short hair. Her eyes reveal the delicacy and tenacity unique to women. She has rich experience and unique insights in prison administration.
The two police officers carefully arranged Jiang Hao to sit on the chair opposite. Then, one of the police officers picked up the special lock on the chair and locked Jiang Hao on the chair with a "click".
The sound of the lock was particularly harsh in the silent room, as if it was another reminder of Jiang Hao's freedom.
Warden Chen Hongyu cleared his throat, and his deep, deep voice echoed in the room:
"Jiang Hao, your application to leave prison to visit your mother due to her critical illness has been approved by the prison after careful consideration.
But you have to understand that leaving prison to visit relatives is not arbitrary, and there are strict procedures and disciplinary requirements. "
As he spoke, Section Chief Lin Jianguo picked up a stack of documents that had been prepared on the table, pushed them in front of Jiang Hao, and said seriously:
"First, you have to sign this commitment letter for leaving prison to visit relatives, which clearly stipulates the laws and regulations and behavioral standards that you must abide by during your visit. If you violate them, your family visit qualification will be immediately revoked and you will be severely punished according to law."
Deputy Section Chief Su Qing then added: “Next, we will inform you of the specific itinerary arrangements for visiting relatives.
From the moment you leave prison, every time node and every movement trajectory must be recorded.
We have contacted the local public security agency in your hometown. You must report there as soon as you arrive and accept their supervision and management."
The prison warden Chen Hongyu stared at Jiang Hao and said earnestly, "Jiang Hao, I'm giving you this opportunity to leave prison to visit your mother because I hope you can be filial to her during her last days.
It is also a recognition of your performance in prison reform during this period. But you must not live up to this trust, and must strictly abide by the regulations and return safely. "
Jiang Hao's eyes were red, and he nodded heavily, and said with a choked voice: "Thank you, prison leaders. I will abide by the rules, take good care of my mother, and come back on time."
Afterwards, a police officer handed the documents on the desk to Jiang Hao. Under the police officer's guidance, Jiang Hao began to fill out various procedural forms carefully.
Every stroke was written with extreme solemnity, as if recording the last precious time he had with his mother and his promise to transform his life in the future.
Mu Xiaoji received the approval call from Director Xu, washed up happily, and hurried to the restaurant downstairs.
In the restaurant, Song Shijie and Shen Rou were enjoying a leisurely breakfast with the old lady.
The restaurant was filled with the aroma of food, and the soft morning light shone through the window onto the dining table. Everything seemed so warm.
But the arrival of Mu Xiaoji instantly broke the silence. His unique footsteps, accompanied by the "thump thump" sound of his cane hitting the ground, were quick and powerful as he approached the restaurant quickly.
Song Shijie heard the sound, raised his head, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Son, do you look healthy and energetic today?"
Song Shijie's voice was full of kindness, and he looked at Mu Xiaoji with concern in his eyes.
Mu Xiaoji looked very happy and said very quickly: "Dad, Jiang Hao's application for leaving prison to visit his family has been approved. He will go back to G City after completing some formalities in the afternoon.
Please send a helicopter to take me there. I need to go to the detention center to hand in some documents related to Jiang Hao's visit to his relatives."
Shen Rou saw Mu Xiaoji's anxious look, and her eyes were full of heartache. She quickly got up, walked to the sideboard, and carefully scooped a bowl of white porridge, which was still steaming.
She carried the porridge and walked quickly to Mu Xiaoji, scolding him, "Chenxi, even if you want to leave, you should eat your breakfast!
Oh, with your temper, who can stand you without Cheng Yu's caring care!" Shen Rou's voice was gentle, with a mother's unique nagging and care.
When Mu Xiaoji heard what his mother said, he, who had been as impatient as a wound-up spring, instantly calmed down.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including nostalgia for the past and deep regret.
Over the years, Cheng Yu has taken care of him meticulously. No matter it is the trivial matters in life or accompanying him when he is depressed, Cheng Yu is always silently by his side, giving him the warmest support.
But... Mu Xiaoji felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it. All those beautiful moments that he had once ignored now flooded into his mind like a tide.
The little monster's sunny smile appeared in his mind one by one like a slide show.
Shen Rou saw her son's reaction and instantly realized that she had said the wrong thing. Her heart tightened and she hurriedly pulled Mu Xiaoji to sit down: "I'm sorry, son, I didn't mean to hit you."
Then, she gently put the porridge into his hand, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere with this simple action.
Mu Xiaoji looked at the bowl, his mind racing. He suddenly realized that he had lived in a honeypot for these years, with endless happiness, but because of his own willfulness and lack of appreciation, he had destroyed that precious relationship with his own hands.
His eyes were slightly red, and his hand holding the bowl tightened unconsciously, his heart filled with guilt and longing for Cheng Yu.
