Night fell. After the busy day, it was time for the nightlife. During the evening banquet, Secretary Qin Jianhui didn't show up. Instead, Principal Wu Gubo was there. Wu Gubo also mentioned to Chen Xing about the car accident that happened in the afternoon. After the student was sent to the hospital, he died. When Wu Gubo mentioned the incident, his face was solemn and sorrowful. However, he didn't mention the driver who ran away after hitting the student.
I've asked the lady who was with the driver. Is the Shouzheng she mentioned the same person as Secretary Qin's son? Chen Xing looked at Wu Gubo. In the afternoon, he went to the hospital to visit the student's family. Then, he was busy waiting for the autopsy results. Chen Xing had almost forgotten about this matter. If the first three cases were related to Qin Jianhui's son, Qin Shouzheng, and the car accident this afternoon, that would be four lives. All of them were in the prime of their youth. Chen Xing's heart was heavy. This also strengthened Chen Xing's determination to get to the bottom of this matter. The lives of the students couldn't be wasted.
Secretary Qin's son was indeed called Shouzheng, but could it be the same name? When Wu Gubo heard Chen Xing's straightforward question, a trace of astonishment flashed through his eyes. He shook his head.
There were many people with the same name in the world, but this incident happened at the entrance of Eastern University. Secretary Qin's son was called Shouzheng. It was too much of a coincidence to say that they had the same name. Chen Xing smiled faintly and glanced at Wu Gubo. President Wu, why don't you call Secretary Qin's son over? Then, everything will be clear.
Director Chen, I really don't have Secretary Qin's son's phone number. I'm afraid I'll have to call Secretary Qin to find out. Wu Gubo smiled without batting an eyelid. Why don't I get someone to call and ask?
Chen Xing looked at Wu Gubo with a smile and nodded. Alright, I'm also very curious about Secretary Qin's son. It would be best if I could meet him tonight. Thank you, President Wu.
Wu Gubo was momentarily stunned. His eyes swept across Chen Xing's face. He didn't expect Chen Xing to be so direct. What he said just now was just an excuse. Any normal person could tell. In Wu Gubo's opinion, Chen Xing wouldn't ask any more questions. Who knew Chen Xing would take such an unusual path?
Director Jiang, contact Secretary Qin and ask for Shouzheng's whereabouts. Wu Gubo kicked the ball to Jiang Dongjin. In fact, Jiang Dongjin definitely had Qin Shouzheng's phone number. Except for Chen Xing's subordinates, everyone in Eastern University knew that Jiang Dongjin, the director of the school's Party Committee Office, was promoted directly from Qin Jianhui's office. He was regarded as Qin Jianhui's number one confidant. Some people who couldn't stand Jiang Dongjin's flattery would privately refer to him as Qin Jianhui's henchman and the Qin family's nanny. This was because Jiang Dongjin would take care of everything in the Qin family. Jiang Dongjin even took care of the trivial matters of daily life. He was truly meticulous in everything and served the Qin family very well.
Alright, I'll make a call and ask. Jiang Dongjin nodded, stood up, and walked out of the door.
As soon as Jiang Dongjin left, Wu Gubo smiled and toasted Chen Xing. His words were nothing more than thanking the leader of the ministry for his concern and attention to Eastern University. As for the rest, Wu Gubo didn't mention anything else. The atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange. The Audi that Qin Shouzheng drove was no stranger to the teachers of Eastern University. Many of them were certain that the driver who caused the accident was Qin Shouzheng, but everyone maintained a tacit understanding and pretended not to know anything.
Chen Xing's straightforward question tonight surprised not only the people of Eastern University, but also Lin Yupei and several other people from the ministry who came with Chen Xing. Although they came here in the name of the ministry to inspect and guide, this was, after all, Eastern University's territory. Chen Xing directly pointed out whether the driver who caused the accident was the son of Eastern University's Party Committee Secretary, Qin Jianhui. These words would obviously arouse hostility. Fortunately, Qin Jianhui wasn't present, otherwise the atmosphere would only be more awkward.
After about a few minutes, Jiang Dongjin walked in. Jiang Dongjin said to Chen Xing, "Director Chen, what a coincidence. I just called Secretary Qin and found out that his son went to a university in another province for an exchange study yesterday. He wasn't at home at all. Now the matter couldn't be any clearer. The driver who caused the accident couldn't be the same person as Secretary Qin's son."
"Really? What a coincidence!" Chen Xing glanced at Jiang Dongjin. His eyes slowly swept from Jiang Dongjin to the faces of the others. Chen Xing could see that although the expressions on everyone's faces were calm, there was a faint strangeness in their eyes.
"Well, I also just found out. Otherwise, at noon, Director Chen, when you asked me if the driver who caused the accident was the same person as Secretary Qin's son, I would have denied it long ago." Jiang Dongjin nodded and smiled, trying to look as natural as possible. As for the real thoughts in his heart, only Jiang Dongjin himself knew. Even Jiang Dongjin himself, when he heard Qin Jianhui's words just now, he couldn't help but think, "F * ck, very f * cked up."
Qin Jianhui's instructions were like an order to Jiang Dongjin. At this moment, Jiang Dongjin could only lie with his eyes open. Whether Chen Xing suspected him or not was none of his business. Jiang Dongjin only knew that he had to do as he was told.
The banquet didn't end until nearly eight o 'clock. Wu Gubo and Chen Xing chatted for a while and then left. The others also left in a hurry. It seemed that they didn't want to have too much contact with Chen Xing and his colleagues. Only Jiang Dongjin stayed.
After returning to his room, Chen Xing stretched his arms. The pain from his arms and back reminded Chen Xing that he hadn't applied medicine today. Picking up the bottle of medicine for external use from the table, Chen Xing took off his shirt and walked into the bathroom with his upper body bare. He applied the medicine in front of the mirror. It was okay to apply some medicine on his arms, but it was a bit difficult to reach his back.
"Director Chen, do you want me to help you?" Just as Chen Xing was trying hard to apply medicine on his back in front of the mirror, a voice coming from the bathroom door startled Chen Xing.
"Why are you walking so quietly? Are you trying to scare me to death?" Chen Xing looked at Lin Yupei, who suddenly stood at the door like a ghost, and subconsciously rolled his eyes. After saying this, Chen Xing suddenly remembered that his door was closed. He stared at Lin Yupei. "How did you come in? Wasn't my door closed?
Your door was closed, but it wasn't closed tightly. I pushed it and came in. " Lin Yupei's beautiful eyes wandered as she stared fixedly at Chen Xing's bare upper body. When she saw the scars on Chen Xing's back, Lin Yupei felt a little distressed. Who was the one who beat him up last night? The blow was too heavy. Why was Eastern University in such a mess? How could a student dare to beat up a leader from the department?
This was called the unpredictable wind and clouds in the sky, and people had their ups and downs. Who knew that even going out for a walk would cause bad luck? Chen Xing smiled, but his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. "Didn't I close the door just now?"
"Director Chen, let me help you." Lin Yupei smiled and walked in without waiting for Chen Xing's answer. Chen Xing's well-defined muscles made Lin Yupei's eyes slightly brighten.
"No need. Director Lin, what's the matter?" Seeing Lin Yupei walk straight in, Chen Xing simply stopped applying medicine and walked out. He took his shirt and put it on, looking at Lin Yupei.
"It's nothing. I just feel that the behavior of the people of Eastern University tonight is quite strange. It feels like we are being played like monkeys." Lin Yupei's eyes turned, and she walked lightly to the table next to Chen Xing.
"Director Lin, what do you think?" Chen Xing looked at Lin Yupei.
"I just think that your guess, Director Chen, should be right. The driver who caused the accident may really be the son of Qin Jianhui. I think the people of Eastern University are actually aware of this, but they dare not say it. Only we are hiding it." Lin Yupei smiled.
"It's normal that they don't tell us. It's abnormal if they tell us." Chen Xing frowned. "The people of Eastern University may be eager for us to leave as soon as possible. When I came back from the hospital in the evening, I received a call from the leader of the Ministry. He said that Eastern University had protested to our Ministry through the leader of Dongjiang Province, saying that we had interfered in the school's internal affairs."
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Yupei's small mouth opened in surprise.
"This kind of thing can't be faked. It means that our staying here is a hindrance to someone. They don't want us to stay." A cold light flashed in Chen Xing's eyes. It's only been a week since school started. Including this afternoon's car accident, Eastern University has had four student homicide cases in a row. Not to say that there will be no repeat cases in the future, but it can be said to be unprecedented.
It is indeed a bit shocking. Lin Yupei nodded in agreement. The meaning in her words also had a hidden meaning. If they were all related to Qin Jianhui, the son of the Eastern University's Party Secretary, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was shocking.
In the dead of night, in a detached villa in the Eastern University's faculty dormitory area, a man stood in front of the window on the second floor, quietly lighting a cigarette and talking to someone on the phone.
"Today, I have done as you said. The timing was just right. That Chen Xing also bumped into it. I think the effect you requested should be met." On the other end of the phone, it was obviously a young woman's voice.
"Well, I know about this matter. I can see it from Chen Xing's performance last night. Hey, not bad. Chen Xing directly asked me by name. If Qin Jianhui was present, I wonder what kind of expression he would have. The effect was better than I expected. I didn't expect that this Chen Xing really didn't look like an ordinary official. Tonight, he really surprised me. But this is also good. His personality just happened to be helpful in this matter. If it was someone else, I'm afraid that they would really not care about it and just pat their butts and leave. Speaking of which, Chen Xing can be considered a person who dares to take action. Nowadays, there aren't many officials like him."
"I say, you plotted against Qin Jianhui behind his back. Aren't you afraid that he will find out and settle the score with you? He has a big brother who is the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. As for you, you don't have such a solid background. I'm afraid that before you can bring down Qin Jianhui, you will fall first. "
If Qin Jianhui continued like this, sooner or later, this school would be filled with foul air. Others could endure it, but I couldn't. As long as I still had a breath in me, I wouldn't give up. I swore to fight against this evil trend. This time, a few students jumped off the building, which strengthened my resolve. Qin Jianhui blindly allowed his ignorant and incompetent son to run amok in the school. This time, a few students jumped off the building. Next time, who knew what would happen. I couldn't tolerate this kind of thing happening again. Although my methods were dishonorable, I didn't let down my conscience.
"Sigh, you have to know that because of your plan, a student died today. That student was also innocent. This afternoon was an accident.
I didn't expect that he would bump into someone. I can only say that Qin Shouzheng, that bastard, has lost his humanity. I can only say that I'm deeply sorry for that student's death. It was completely an accident in my plan. I could only shift Chen Xing's attention to Qin Shouzheng. I didn't want anyone to die, especially an innocent young life. To be honest, I feel very sad. I don't want to see a student die in vain. This school has had too many accidents. "
"I don't know how many arrangements you have made at the same time, but I think if you want to attract Chen Xing's attention, it seems that you don't have to do this." The woman said.
"You don't know that Qin Jianhui's confidant, Jiang Dongjin, almost never leaves Chen Xing's side. While monitoring Chen Xing, he is also monitoring other people in the school. If someone contacts Chen Xing alone, it can't escape Jiang Dongjin's eyes. Don't look down on Qin Jianhui. He has many eyes and ears, not just Jiang Dongjin."
"Don't you have Chen Xing's phone number? Why don't you call Chen Xing directly?"
"No, this method must not be used. I can't let myself be exposed. Moreover, before I thoroughly understand Chen Xing, all the plans can only be carried out in secret. Otherwise, it is very likely that I will lose my life."
"Okay.
Let's do it this way. I don't want to say anything more about your matter, but after this matter, we are even. No one owes the other. "
"Actually, it's fine if you choose not to help me now. You don't owe me anything. You are an extraordinary woman, and I still admire you."
"Oh, you, a famous professor and scholar, admire me, a prostitute who didn't graduate from high school?" The woman laughed self-mockingly. Her voice couldn't be more sarcastic. "Don't flatter me. I have never thought that I am noble. I only have one request for you. Help me take care of my sister at school."
"Yes, the little girl is in her third year, right? Hehe, I have been paying attention to her. Her academic performance is not bad. If she wants to go to graduate school, I will help her arrange it. In the future, if she wants to stay in school to teach, it is also not a problem. I will arrange it well."
"Okay, thank you. Let's do it this way. Qin Shouzheng drove over to pick me up. I will hang up first. I will act according to your arrangements. I just hope that you don't regret it."
"Beep", the phone was hung up.
