In the quiet interrogation room, Chen Xing quietly listened to Li Yong talk about what happened before and after the car accident. At this moment, he didn't ask any more questions. Li Yong had already told Chen Xing how he met Luo Mingkun, and how Luo Mingkun offered to help him solve the problem.
At first, Li Yong didn't suspect anything. He believed and was grateful to Luo Mingkun. Until today, when the matter was exposed on the Internet, Li Yong came to Luo Mingkun to question him. Things were far beyond Li Yong's expectations. Luo Mingkun's different attitude made Li Yong angry. Under the dispute, Luo Mingkun sarcastically told the truth, which made Li Yong feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He didn't expect that he had been set up long ago, and he had been kept in the dark.
It took Li Yong a while to finish telling the whole story. He even talked about his relationship with Zhuang Qingqing, the dancer in the bar. After Li Yong calmed down and thought about it, he also suspected that Zhuang Qingqing had approached him with a purpose from the beginning. When the car accident happened that night, it was Zhuang Qingqing who kept persuading him to escape the scene when no one saw him in the dark.
The room was quiet. After Li Yong finished speaking, he became silent. After telling Chen Xing what he knew and guessed, Li Yong felt relieved. This was also the reason why he asked to see Chen Xing. He didn't want to ask Chen Xing for mercy, but to tell Chen Xing the truth in time. If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't dare to see Chen Xing because he felt guilty. Guilt and remorse made him feel ashamed to face Chen Xing. He had been a driver for Chen Xing for more than a year. He knew that Chen Xing had treated him well, so he didn't have the face to ask Chen Xing to help him avoid punishment.
Whether you killed someone intentionally or negligently, you didn't choose to escape after killing someone. Tonight, you behaved responsibly. After a long silence, Chen Xing stood up and said to Li Yong, "Xiao Li, cooperate with the investigation of the Public Security Bureau. I believe the law will give you a fair punishment."
After saying that, Chen Xing took a deep look at Li Yong, turned around, and left. His heart was full of regret and pain.
After walking out of the interrogation room, Chen Xing saw Yang Hongchao standing in the corridor. Yang Hongchao was smoking a cigarette. Seeing Chen Xing coming out, Yang Hongchao threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it to extinguish it. Then he walked up to him. "Secretary, you're out."
En. Chen Xing nodded indifferently. He thought that Yang Hongchao had been outside just now, so he didn't think too much about it. At this time, he didn't have the mood to think about anything else. He waved to Yang Hongchao and said, "Director Yang, let's leave first. I hope that you can investigate Li Yong's case objectively and impartially. You don't need to consider other factors. I want to see a fair and transparent investigation result."
"Okay, we'll strictly follow your instructions, Secretary Chen." Yang Hongchao said with a serious face.
Chen Xing nodded. Without looking at Yang Hongchao anymore, he walked towards the stairs.
After going downstairs and getting into the car, Chen Xing saw Yang Hongchao still following suit. He waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to send him anymore.
Zhang Yi drove out of the Public Security Bureau. Chen Xing looked at Yang Hongchao from the rearview mirror and pursed his lips slightly. Yang Hongchao really knew how to act in front of him. In this day and age, anyone who could become a cadre could almost win a Best Actor award.
While Chen Xing was cursing Yang Hongchao in his heart, Yang Hongchao watched Chen Xing's car disappear at the entrance. Then he spat on the ground, no longer as polite as before.
"Damn it, Luo Mingkun, this bastard, deserves to die. He can't do anything right, but he's good at spoiling things. He almost ruined everything." Yang Hongchao cursed. When he heard what Li Yong had said to Chen Xing, he wanted to kick the dead Luo Mingkun again. Li Yong had leaked the truth in advance. Fortunately, Luo Mingkun was dead. Otherwise, it would be difficult to remedy the situation now.
After standing there and thinking for a while, Yang Hongchao quickly turned around and walked back. Although Luo Mingkun had died a good death, there were still some things that had to be remedied.
"Brother Zhang, you heard it just now. It's not easy for me to work in Mountain Gaze." In the car, Chen Xing smiled bitterly at Zhang Yi, who had been silent all this while.
"You're being schemed against everywhere. It's really not easy for you to be the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee." Zhang Yi nodded with a smile.
"It's more than not easy. Now it seems that I was transferred to Mountain Gaze purely to take a risk." Chen Xing smiled helplessly.
"Whether it's a risk or not, you have to face it when it happens. This time, it's very complicated. Not only were you schemed against locally, but also the power from the Lin family is stirring up trouble. Anyway, you should listen to Uncle Guohua and take a step back first." Zhang Yi said.
"I know that's all we can do now." Chen Xing said calmly. He could only suppress his unwillingness and anger in his heart.
"What are you going to do about your driver?" Zhang Yi suddenly asked.
"What can I do? I just ordered them to investigate impartially when I left the Public Security Bureau." Chen Xing raised his eyebrows.
"If it's really manslaughter, the sentence will be lighter. Moreover, he didn't run away after the incident and pleaded guilty. These factors can be taken into consideration when sentencing. If you give the court an appropriate hint, it will not be a problem to reduce the sentence by a few years." Zhang Yi glanced at Chen Xing.
"Forget it, I'd better not do this kind of thing. I often say in front of the people that everyone is equal before the law. As a local official, I can't take the lead in violating it." Chen Xing shook his head. "What I can do is to ensure that no one else can interfere with the sentencing of the case so that he can get a fair trial. I believe that as long as what Li Yong said is true, the court will give him an objective and fair sentence."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Maybe by then, I will have already left Mountain Gaze. How could I take it for granted?" Chen Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought that the case would not enter the legal process overnight. His days in Mountain Gaze had already entered the countdown.
"Don't worry. Even if you're not in Mountain Gaze, you can still talk to me. Our Zhang family is not that down." Zhang Yi grinned. "This time, we were caught off guard. Uncle Guo Hua took this step because too many people were watching him. At first glance, it seems that he wants you to make a sacrifice. But in the long run, who knows if it's not a good thing for you? It's a blessing in disguise, isn't it?"
"Brother Zhang, I really didn't realize that you were so good at comforting people." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.
"It's not that I'm comforting you, but it's the truth. No one can predict what will happen in the future. Maybe if you fall today, it will be a blessing in disguise in the future. This kind of thing is hard to say. It's not good to be too smooth." Zhang Yi said seriously.
As they talked, they returned to the guest house. Chen Xing saw that the villa where Xiang Xiurong lived was still lit. He wondered if he should go and sit with Xiang Xiurong now. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a few men guarding the door of his villa. When they saw Chen Xing, they immediately surrounded him.
