The next day, Jiang Dongjin, who had been accompanying them, asked Chen Xing, "Director Chen, are you taking the afternoon flight back to the capital?
Why does Director Jiang care so much about when we will leave? Chen Xing smiled and glanced at Jiang Dongjin.
Director Chen misunderstood. Our university wants to confirm the departure time of Director Chen's group so that we can help you book the tickets. If you are leaving in the afternoon, then we can arrange for someone to buy the tickets now. Otherwise, it will be too late. " Jiang Dongjin smiled. He was ordered by Qin Jianhui to send Chen Xing and his group away as soon as possible. According to the original schedule, Chen Xing and his group should leave in the afternoon. However, Chen Xing didn't mention anything about leaving, so Jiang Dongjin had to take the initiative to ask.
In fact, the one who was really anxious was Qin Jianhui, the Secretary of the University's Party Committee. Qin Jianhui had already contacted the Ministry through his elder brother, who was the main leader of the Provincial Party Committee. He hoped that Chen Xing and his group could leave early. However, Chen Xing's performance really made Qin Jianhui feel uncertain. He saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. With his status, he couldn't drive them away.
We are planning to stay for a few more days to learn more about the teaching situation of Eastern University. If we are leaving, I will inform Director Jiang in advance. Chen Xing smiled faintly. When he said this, Jiang Dongjin's smiling face stiffened for a moment. He turned to look at Chen Xing and smiled awkwardly. For a moment, he was speechless.
After accompanying Chen Xing and his group for lunch, Jiang Dongjin disappeared for a moment. Lin Yupei followed Chen Xing into the room and closed the door. Lin Yupei looked at Chen Xing in confusion. Director Chen decided to stay for a few more days?
Not necessarily for a few more days. He just wanted to scare Jiang Dongjin. I think the people of Eastern University are treating us like a plague. They can't wait to send us away. The more they do this, the more we will have to stay. Chen Xing chuckled. Perhaps, they might be as anxious as ants on a hot pan right now.
I strongly support Director Chen's decision to stay for a few more days. Lin Yupei said with a smile. We were supposed to stay here for two days, but now we decided not to leave. What about the ministry?
I've already reported this to my superiors, and they support me. Chen Xing looked at Lin Yupei and said. I'm sure Dean Lin has seen everything that has happened in the past day. There were three cases of students jumping off a building and a car accident yesterday afternoon. Four lives have been lost. If we just leave like this and turn a blind eye to the happenings in Eastern University, does Dean Lin feel that her conscience will be able to live with it? She's not going to let it happen.
I would like to take revenge. Unfortunately, it's not ancient times and I'm not a chivalrous woman. Otherwise, I would cut off that bastard with a knife. First, I would cut off his family jewels, then slowly torture him. Lin Yupei fiercely made a cutting gesture. Chen Xing was a little dumbfounded. When this woman got angry, she was not a kind person. Married women were much more open with their words than unmarried women. At this moment, Lin Yupei's behavior was more than enough to prove the correctness of these two sentences. In front of a grown man like Chen Xing, Lin Yupei talked about cutting off people's family jewels without even blushing.
If Director Chen wants to stay and manage this matter, I'm very supportive. I believe the others are also very angry about what has happened in Eastern University. However, compared to you, Director Chen, our words carry little weight. We don't have the ability to defend Wang Zheng's justice. Moreover, in the past day or so, the actions of Eastern University have been infuriating. We're not blind. They're obviously spying on us. They're simply looking down on us. So, if Director Chen wants to take the lead in this matter, as long as you give the order, we will do our best to cooperate. This is not only my opinion, but also the opinion of the three of them.
At this time, Lin Yupei represented the other three. The three of them were also in the office. Lin Yupei indeed had the qualifications to make a statement. She also dared to pat her chest and say that she understood all three of them.
Well, since you all have this intention, then let's work together to cooperate. Chen Xing nodded. Right now, he also had to put down some of his guard against Lin Yupei and cooperate with her. It would be very difficult for him to do this alone. Although Chen Xing thought that Lin Yupei's thoughts were too complicated and impossible to guess, this was an external matter, not a matter within the department. Chen Xing was also willing to believe in Lin Yupei for the time being. Thinking about this, Chen Xing said, "Director Lin, do me a favor at noon. I'm going out alone. If Jiang Dongjin follows me, help me stall him."
Where was Director Chen going? Lin Yupei was slightly stunned. She looked at Chen Xing with a puzzled expression.
Going out to take care of some business. Chen Xing did not want to say more.
Since Director Chen has business to take care of, I will do my best to help Director Chen get rid of the people from Eastern University. Lin Yupei nodded and tactfully did not ask any more questions.
At the same time, the Secretary of the University Party Committee, Qin Jianhui, also received a report from Jiang Dongjin. Chen Xing and his team had not left yet. They would stay for a few more days. The specific time of departure had not been set. Among the leaders of Eastern University who knew this news, some were happy while others were worried. Qin Jianhui was so angry that he almost dropped his phone. He angrily slammed the table and cursed. He was more like a street ruffian. He did not have the demeanor of a university professor or the Secretary of the Party Committee.
Those people from the department still haven't left? Xue Ping also frowned. Didn't they say they would leave in the afternoon?
Who knew that they would suddenly not leave. What could they do? They couldn't just chase them away. Qin Jianhui's expression was ugly. Yesterday, he had called his elder brother. He had already informed the relevant leaders of the ministry through the people in the capital. Logically speaking, Chen Xing and his team should have already packed up and left. Why were they still lingering? Did they not inform his elder brother?
Why don't you give him another call and you will know? How would I know? Xue Ping curled his lips. He was not in a good mood. Could it be that the people from the ministry had also suspected Shouzheng?
It would be strange if they did not suspect it. Public opinion could not be controlled no matter how hard they tried. It was more important to prevent the public from talking. We can use our connections to prevent the media from reporting, but we can't stop the netizens from talking. These days, the internet has exploded. Even the car accident yesterday afternoon has been reported on the internet. Do you think we can stop the tens of thousands of people from talking? The people from the ministry are not fools. How can they not see something fishy? Yesterday, Chen Xing had asked in front of Dongjin whether the driver who caused the accident was the same person as Shouzheng. The meaning of his question couldn't be more clear. Qin Jianhui said angrily. Although he was suspicious, this time the people from the ministry were really crazy. Ordinary people would not meddle in other people's business, but they had nothing better to do. They wanted to meddle in this matter. This was not within the scope of the ministry's functions. He didn't know if there was something wrong with these people's brains.
Yes, the most the ministry could do was to guide the teaching work and students' work. When it came to criminal cases, it had nothing to do with them. Why would they stay? Xue Ping said angrily. She wanted to protect her son wholeheartedly. Naturally, she did not want the people from the ministry to meddle in other people's business.
Just now, Dongjin said that Chen Xing said he wanted to stay for a few more days to understand the teaching work. They just randomly found an excuse, and we couldn't say anything. Qin Jianhui said helplessly. Then he wondered whether his elder brother had informed them.
Qin Jianhui and his wife Xue Ping were talking. Chen Xing and Lin Yupei were also discussing what to do later. After they finalized the details, Chen Xing and Lin Yupei stood up and left the room together. As soon as they went outside, Lin Yupei followed Chen Xing to take the elevator downstairs. When they arrived at the lobby of the hotel, they deliberately slowed down their pace. After one or two minutes, Jiang Dongjin caught up with them from behind and said with a smile, "Where are you going, Director Chen and Director Lin? I'll drive you.
We plan to go out for a walk. If Director Jiang is free, you can drive us. " Lin Yupei said with a smile.
"I'm free, of course I'm free. I have to make time to drive Director Chen and Director Lin even if I don't have time." Hearing Lin Yupei's words, Jiang Dongjin smiled so much that his eyes narrowed. He was afraid that Chen Xing and Lin Yupei wouldn't let him follow them. Their cooperation was exactly what Jiang Dongjin wanted. Now, he didn't even need to find an excuse. He glanced at Chen Xing. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't object, Jiang Dongjin felt relieved. He muttered why Chen Xing was so easy to talk to today. Thinking about it, he faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out at the moment.
"Where are Director Chen and Director Lin going?" The car drove out of the school gate. Jiang Dongjin, who was the driver, looked at Chen Xing and Lin Yupei from the rearview mirror. Although it was strange that Chen Xing and Lin Yupei suddenly wanted to go out for a walk, Jiang Dongjin didn't think much about it. If he followed them in person, he wouldn't be afraid of making any mistakes. If anything happened, he could report it to his superior in time.
"Let's go downtown and see if there are any local specialties of Dongjiang and buy some." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"To buy local specialties, go to the biggest department store in the city. They have everything there." Hearing that, Jiang Dongjin said immediately.
"Okay, thank you, Director Jiang." Chen Xing nodded with a smile and looked at Lin Yupei. They exchanged a look and maintained a tacit understanding.
They didn't know where the car was going. Lin Yupei suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot to take something. I have to go back again."
"What did I forget to take?" Chen Xing turned his head and looked at Lin Yupei.
"Women's trouble is that they have to have a few days every month. I forgot to change it just now." Lin Yupei smiled and spoke very naturally. Jiang Dongjin, who was driving in the front, felt that something was amiss. He thought that this Director Lin was really bold and unrestrained in her speech. However, he also understood that Lin Yupei had forgotten to change her sanitary pads.
"I really have to go back to get it. How about this, Director Jiang, please drive Director Lin back." Chen Xing said.
"It's no trouble. It's very fast. I'll make a U-turn now." Jiang Dongjin said with a smile. Anyway, his task was to follow them. He had plenty of time to play with them.
"Wait, I'll get off first. Director Jiang, please drive Director Lin back. I'll wait for you in the city." Chen Xing said.
"Chen … Director Chen wants to get off first?" Jiang Dongjin was a little confused. "Director Chen, it won't take us long to drive back. Director Chen, you don't have to get off the car."
"It's okay. Director Jiang, please drive Director Lin back first. I'll take a taxi to the city." Chen Xing waved his hand and asked Jiang Dongjin to stop the car by the roadside. Then he got off the car.
Jiang Dongjin realized that something was wrong. He was about to get off the car to persuade Chen Xing to get in. Lin Yupei, who was in the back seat, said, "Director Jiang, please drive me back first. Since Director Chen wants to go, let him go."
But … Jiang Dongjin's mouth was agape, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say. He couldn't say that he couldn't let Chen Xing out of his sight. At this moment, Lin Yupei also urged Jiang Dongjin to drive back.
Looking at Chen Xing, who had gotten off the car, and Lin Yupei, who kept urging him to drive, Jiang Dongjin turned his head and hurriedly said to Chen Xing, "Director Chen, you're the leader. It's not appropriate to ask you to take a taxi. How about this, we wait. I'll call a car to send Director Lin back, and I'll drive Director Chen to the city."
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. Director Jiang, please send Director Lin back first. Okay, Director Jiang, please go back first. Don't let me wait too long in the city." Chen Xing smiled. Looking at Jiang Dongjin, who was sweating anxiously, Chen Xing's face was full of smiles. The reason why he didn't let Lin Yupei delay Jiang Dongjin at the hotel, but chose to catch Jiang Dongjin off guard halfway, was so that Jiang Dongjin couldn't react in time. Otherwise, if Jiang Dongjin was delayed at the hotel, the others would catch up in time. Who knew how many people Eastern University had sent to watch them?
In the end, Jiang Dongjin reluctantly drove Lin Yupei back. Looking at Chen Xing, who was getting farther and farther behind, and then looking at Lin Yupei in the back seat, Jiang Dongjin completely understood why Chen Xing and Lin Yupei were so cooperative just now. When he said he would drive the two, Lin Yupei nodded and agreed, and Chen Xing also didn't object.
Yesterday, Chen Xing more or less expressed disgust at him for following so closely. Today, however, it was different. Jiang Dongjin now knew the clues, but it was already too late. In front of Lin Yupei, he couldn't take out his phone to make a call, and Chen Xing, who had disappeared from his rearview mirror, also didn't know where the car had gone. Jiang Dongjin's heart was in a panic, but he couldn't say anything.
Chen Xing took a taxi and went straight to the city, completely shaking off Jiang Dongjin. Chen Xing was in a good mood and didn't pay attention to the back anymore. In his view, there was a black car following Chen Xing's taxi unhurriedly. In a certain office of Eastern University, a man who received a phone call to understand the situation said bluntly, "Even God wants to help me. Qin Jianhui and his son can be said to have provoked the wrath of the Heavens and the resentment of the people."
Chen Xing arrived at the city. After looking for a while, he finally found a coffee shop called "Left Bank Coffee". Chen Xing walked into the coffee shop and found the female student who chatted with him last night in a small open room.
"Chen … Brother Chen, you're here." As soon as the female student saw Chen Xing, she quickly stood up. She was quite nervous. Now that she knew Chen Xing's true identity and was face to face with him, she couldn't keep her calm as before.
"Well, sit down. In order to see you today, I spent a lot of effort to shake off the tail behind me." Chen Xing joked, "If you can't give me something that satisfies me, I'll settle accounts with you."
"Brother Chen, look, on this piece of white cloth, Qin Shouzheng's crimes are written. There are also many of our students' handprints covered with blood." As soon as the female student sat down, she took out a piece of white cloth from her bag and solemnly presented it in front of Chen Xing. She spent more than a day to find someone to sign it.
"Letter of blood?" Chen Xing was stunned. Looking at the bright red handprints, his face also became serious.
"Sort of. Those handprints were left by every student who participated in the crime by biting their fingers and covering it with their own blood." The female student murmured in a low voice. Her eyes were already wet.
"Have you been found out by others?" Chen Xing took the piece of white cloth covered with bright red handprints. Although it was as light as a feather, it felt as heavy as a thousand catties in his hand.
"No, these students are all trustworthy. I'm not the only one doing this. There are also a few students who know the inside story and have a sense of justice who are also helping. We're doing it very secretly. We're looking for people one by one. We won't leak it out. If it's really leaked out, I won't be able to sit in front of you now, Brother Huang. Maybe I'll also be persecuted." The female student laughed at herself.
"It's not as serious as you think. Don't give yourself any pressure." Chen Xing shook his head and said, "You have to believe in the righteousness of heaven and earth. Those who do evil will receive the retribution they deserve. If you can't trust the government, there's still the law. If you can't even trust the law, you should believe that some people with a conscience will stand up for you."
"Yes, I believe in you. Brother Chen, you are an official with a conscience." The female student wiped her tears and smiled firmly. "As long as Brother Chen is willing to take care of it, I believe that the bad guys will receive the retribution they deserve."
"I will take care of it. This letter of blood is a heavy responsibility. Those who dare to stand up and sign it are all good students." Chen Xing nodded. Actually, he wanted to say that this letter of blood couldn't be used as evidence. However, he couldn't say that. A thin piece of white cloth condensed the students' righteousness and courage. It was the students' hope. He couldn't destroy the students' hope.
"I'll pass on Brother Chen's praise to them." For the first time, the female student smiled from the bottom of her heart. "If there's a need for us to stand up and testify, we're all willing to do so."
"Aren't you afraid of being expelled from the university?" Chen Xing looked at the other party in surprise. No matter what, Qin Jianhui was the secretary of the Party Committee of Eastern University. If these students dared to do this, there was a great possibility that they would be punished later.
"Don't be afraid. I believe that the law doesn't punish the majority." The female student smiled playfully.
"The law doesn't punish the majority." Chen Xing softly repeated this sentence. He smiled and nodded. The students' courage was commendable, but they were relatively simple. Chen Xing seemed to see his younger self.
"Director Jiang, are those people leaving in the afternoon?" In the Eastern University Hotel, Jiang Dongjin waited downstairs for Lin Yupei to go up to pick up her things. Then, he called Qin Jianhui to report the situation. Chen Xing's behavior today was very abnormal. He didn't know what he was going to do. Jiang Dongjin could only tell Qin Jianhui. Just after he hung up the phone with Qin Jianhui, his son, Qin Shouzheng, called and asked about Chen Xing's group.
"Shouzheng, things have changed. Director Chen and his group won't leave for the time being. And today …" Jiang Dongjin told Qin Shouzheng about what happened just now. He was worried that Director Chen would stay to investigate this matter. If that happened, you'd be in big trouble.
"F * ck, when can the people in the department investigate cases? Is that Director Chen sick? Why does he keep staring at me? Did I steal his wife or something? Is it interesting for him to make life difficult for me?" After listening to Jiang Dongjin's detailed explanation, Qin Shouzheng was so angry that he scolded loudly.
"Tut, Shouzheng, it's useless for you to scold here. Seriously, don't go back to school these few days, in case you get into trouble again. I believe Secretary Qin will handle it in school." Jiang Dongjin moved the phone away from his ear. After Qin Shouzheng finished scolding, he put the phone back to his ear. He didn't have a good impression of Qin Shouzheng, but he was Qin Jianhui's son, so he had to serve him carefully.
"That's it. I'll curse that Chen Xing's ancestors for eighteen generations." Qin Shouzheng cursed and hung up the phone. Then, he dialed another number. "Feng Xuan, have you done what you said last night? Didn't you arrange someone to teach that Chen Xing a lesson? Have you found someone?
Have you found someone? Why? Shouzheng, are you telling me not to do it? " The woman on the other side of the phone laughed.
"No, it's good that you have found someone. Teach that Chen Xing a lesson. Also, don't let the cat out of the bag. Don't let him suspect me. As for the rest, you can do whatever you want." Qin Shouzheng said angrily.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll definitely teach him a lesson. Anyway, it's you who asked me to do whatever I want." The woman emphasized the word "lesson", and the smile on her face was very strange. If Qin Shouzheng saw it, he would probably be terrified.
Time passed quietly. When Lin Yupei came out of the room and went to the city in Jiang Dongjin's car again, Chen Xing and the female student also walked out of the café.
If there was anything, they could contact each other by phone. It would be more troublesome to meet like this. Chen Xing said to the female student while walking.
"Today, I mainly want to give this to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you … Ah …"
