After answering Zhang Guozhong's call, Chen Xing walked out of the department and came to a teahouse deep in an old alley. It seemed to have a long history. It was the first time for Chen Xing to come to this place. The taxi driver was a middle-aged man in his 40s. When they were about to arrive, he smiled and said to Chen Xing that this place could only be known by old Beijing people. Otherwise, people like Chen Xing who had driven taxis for more than 10 years would only be familiar with this place. The new driver was not prepared to find the way.
Chen Xing stepped into the teahouse. When he walked in, he didn't see any customers at all. It didn't seem like it had no business. Zhang Guozhong was drinking tea at a small stone table in the backyard. This was his special place to drink tea. Sometimes, he would meet customers here.
Second Uncle, this teahouse doesn't seem to have any business. Chen Xing walked in and joked with Zhang Guozhong. There was a strange middle-aged man sitting next to Zhang Guozhong. Chen Xing glanced at him and nodded slightly to greet him.
This teahouse was opened to let people have a quiet place to drink tea. If it had been opened to make money, it would have closed down long ago. The middle-aged man responded to Chen Xing with a smile. Although it was the first time for him to meet Chen Xing, he seemed to be familiar with Chen Xing and was very polite.
Chen Xing, this is Xiao Cai. He opened the teahouse. Zhang Guozhong pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced him to Chen Xing.
Director Chen, nice to meet you. I'm Cai Zhiyi. Director Chen, you can call me Xiao Cai. The middle-aged man called Cai Zhiyi nodded to Chen Xing with a smile and glanced at Zhang Guozhong.
Chen Xing didn't know the relationship between Cai Zhiyi and Zhang Guozhong. Hearing Cai Zhiyi's words, he didn't rush to say anything. At this time, Zhang Guozhong smiled and said, "Xiao Cai, you are almost 10 years older than Chen Xing. It's inappropriate for him to call you Xiao Cai. Chen Xing, Xiao Cai is older than you. It's not a bad thing for you to call him Brother Cai.
En, then I'll be indebted to Brother Cai for taking care of me in the future. Chen Xing nodded with a smile. Since Zhang Guozhong had spoken, he didn't need to hesitate anymore. However, he was quite curious about Cai Zhiyi's identity.
Brother Chen Xing, you're flattering me. I don't dare to take care of you. I still want to say that I'll need to rely on Brother Chen Xing's guidance in the future. Cai Zhiyi smiled and waved his hand again and again. He didn't fuss about the address. Since Zhang Guozhong said so, Cai Zhiyi gladly accepted it. It was not in vain for him to run errands for Zhang Guozhong.
Chen Xing smiled and exchanged some pleasantries with Cai Zhiyi. Although he was curious about Cai Zhiyi's identity, he didn't try to sound him out. After taking a sip of tea, Zhang Guozhong brought up the matter of Dongjiang Province. This was also the reason why he asked Chen Xing to come out. "Chen Xing, I got the news from the Public Security Bureau of Dongjiang Province. Heh, now we have the biggest suspect behind the shooting."
"Who is it?" Chen Xing couldn't wait to ask. Just now on the phone, Zhang Guozhong kept him in suspense. That was why Chen Xing rushed over. Until now, he still didn't know who was behind the shooting.
The biggest suspect was Wu Gubo, the president of Dongjiang University. Zhang Guozhong squinted at Chen Xing and was very satisfied with the shocked look on Chen Xing's face. He said with a smile, "Why? You didn't think of it before, did you?"
Chen Xing was in a daze for a long time before he slowly came to himself. He nodded with a wry smile and responded to Zhang Guozhong's words. "I never thought that the biggest suspect would be Wu Gubo. I suspected Qin Shouzheng and Qin Shouzheng's father, Qin Jianhui, but I didn't think that Wu Gubo was the biggest suspect. He always gave me the impression that he was a well-behaved person who didn't like to be in the limelight and kept a low profile. Every time, it was Qin Jianhui, the secretary of the Party Committee of Dongjiang Province, who took the lead. Wu Gubo always seemed to be willing to be a supporting character. I didn't expect that the result of the investigation would be like this. Second Uncle, the Public Security Bureau of Dongjiang Province didn't make a mistake, right?
If your words were heard by the leaders of the Provincial Department of Dongjiang Province, they would be angry with you. This is the result of their investigation after investing a lot of manpower and material resources. Do you think it's fake? Zhang Guozhong shook his head and smiled.
After all, the Qin family was powerful in Dongjiang Province. Qin Jianhui was the leader of Dongjiang University, and he had a brother who was the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. It was not impossible for them to deliberately frame someone and put the crime on someone else. So, you can't blame me for doubting the authenticity of this result. Chen Xing smiled helplessly. He really didn't want to believe that the biggest suspect was Wu Gubo. He didn't have any conflicts with Wu Gubo, and they didn't even have any contact before. Chen Xing really couldn't accept the result that Wu Gubo would order someone to shoot him. If Zhang Guozhong said that the biggest suspect was the father and son of the Qin family, Chen Xing would feel that it was more reasonable.
However, this was not the case. There were so many people watching this matter. So what if Qin Jiande was the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee? If he dared to order the public security personnel to point at a deer as a horse and turn black and white upside down, hmph, his position as the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee would come to an end, unless he really didn't want to be in this position. This matter was personally supervised by the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Duan Guorong. If Qin Jiande wanted to challenge Duan Guorong's authority, he had to weigh his own weight first. Even if Duan Guorong wasn't close to the Zhang family, he wouldn't dare to evade us on this matter. He had to give us an explanation. Zhang Guozhong snorted coldly, full of dominance. This was the confidence that the Zhang family should have.
After all, Qin Jiande was Qin Shouzheng's uncle. Who knew if he would take the risk out of desperation? Chen Xing knitted his eyebrows.
Take the risk out of desperation? Zhang Guozhong sneered. "Chen Xing, you are still too inexperienced. Do you think that compared with your personal political future, kinship is nothing?" The officialdom was a dog-eat-dog place. Qin Jiande had gone through a lot of hard work to get to where he was today. It would be strange if he would take the risk for the so-called kinship. As long as he could keep his position, he would sacrifice whatever he could. In front of the official hat, kinship could only stand aside. This was the cruel political reality.
Listening to Zhang Guozhong's words, Chen Xing could not help but fall silent. Zhang Guozhong was right. Politics was cruel. Those who could climb up step by step in this cruel environment were not ordinary people. The higher they climbed, the more they would be attached to the power in their hands. Moreover, as they stayed in the system for a long time, they would understand more of the dark side of the system. Often, human nature would become indifferent. Perhaps kinship was just a feeling that could be used at any time to sacrifice for one's own future. For the benefit of the country, ancient emperors could use their own daughters as a bargaining chip. It was the same in modern times. In fact, the officialdom had not changed since ancient times. The cruel environment and dark means were just derivatives brought by the pursuit of power.
Chen Xing didn't know what kind of person Qin Jiande was, but at least Chen Xing knew that he was a person who valued kinship. At least, if he had to choose between power and kinship, Chen Xing would prefer the latter. However, the longer he stayed in the officialdom, the more Chen Xing didn't know if he would change. Compared to Qin Jiande, who had been immersed in the officialdom for most of his life, Chen Xing was just at the beginning.
Wu Gubo is the biggest suspect behind the shooting. This is really unexpected. Until now, I still can't figure out why he wanted to kill me. Shouldn't the public security organs pay attention to the criminal's motive when handling cases? What reason does Wu Gubo have to instruct someone to kill me? What about the motive? Chen Xing looked at Zhang Guozhong. He should be able to get a lot of inside information from the Public Security Bureau of Dongjiang Province.
Heh, the motive really has nothing to do with you. Speaking of which, you're just a little unlucky. If it was another deputy director who went down, the one who would be shot would be the other deputy director. In short, no matter who led the team, they would probably be shot. Zhang Guozhong's smile was a little strange. After hearing the case analysis from the Dongjiang Provincial Department, Zhang Guozhong felt that Chen Xing was too unlucky.
What's going on? Second Uncle, don't keep me guessing. Chen Xing smiled bitterly.
The case wasn't very complicated. Wu Gubo just wanted to target Qin Jianhui and his son. However, he didn't have the ability to do so, so he could only rely on external forces to make the higher-ups pay attention to the situation at Dongjiang University. And this external force was nothing more than injuring a leader of a ministry. Only then could it cause a big enough reaction. Wu Gubo chose to use the shooting method. Obviously, he had made up his mind to wipe out the Qin family's father and son. As for you, you just happened to be there. If it were someone else, they would also be shot.
Then how did the public security department find out about Wu Gubo? The anonymous letter sent to the hospital that day pointed to Qin Shouzheng. The public security department really had some ability to find out about Wu Gubo in the end. Chen Xing smiled. Now he had slowly accepted the fact that Wu Gubo was the mastermind behind the scenes.
You're underestimating the ability of the public security department. In our country, although the departments are bloated, there are many institutions, and the efficiency is low, which is often criticized. But if the whole national machinery is activated, the efficiency is first-class. No matter how powerful an individual is, he is nothing in front of the powerful national machinery. Since the local public security department of Dongjiang Province is determined to investigate this matter, they will certainly go all out. It's not difficult to find Wu Gubo. However, the killer who shot at you might not be so easy to find. That person disappeared on the same day, and he has a strong anti-detection ability. All the clues that could be traced to him have been cut off. Zhang Guozhong frowned slightly.
They could already find Wu Gubo, but there was no information about the killer at all? Chen Xing was puzzled.
The information provided by Qin Shouzheng was that he only wanted a woman named Lan Yue to teach you a lesson. In the end, when he heard that you were shot, he went to look for the woman named Lan Yue, but she had already disappeared. The Public Security Bureau suspected that Lan Yue was the killer who fired the shot, but there was no conclusive evidence. The most important thing now was to find Lan Yue. Zhang Guozhong smiled and shook his head. We don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Let the public security department worry about it.
The name Lan Yue was a woman? Chen Xing was greatly surprised.
She was a woman, but she was not that simple. Oh, I've said too much. I'm thirsty. As soon as Zhang Guozhong finished speaking, Cai Zhiyi, who was next to him, hurriedly poured a cup of tea for him.
Chen Xing did not ask any more questions. Just as Zhang Guozhong said, it was not their turn to worry about it. It was the public security department's job to catch the criminal. They only needed to wait for the people of Dongjiang Province to give them an explanation. It was useless to worry about it.
While Chen Xing and Zhang Guozhong were drinking tea and chatting in this quiet courtyard, in the general manager's office on the second floor of Yuxuan Styling Club, Kong Yuxuan had just returned from outside. There was already someone sitting in her office. Kong Yuxuan handed an envelope to the woman. This is your new identification. From now on, your name is not Lan Yue, but Lin Qing, Jenny.
Lin is your English name. Your new identity is a Chinese-American born and raised in the United States. You will be the deputy general manager of Gray Company in the Greater China Region. Remember, you are a person who loves charity and is keen to attend all kinds of charity banquets. When you return to your homeland, you will also be active in all kinds of charity events.
Heh, the organization has made a very thorough arrangement this time. They even planned in advance what I would do. Lan Yue took the envelope from Kong Yuxuan. Inside the envelope were all the identification documents for her new identity. Without a doubt, these documents were all legal and valid. Lan Yue did not doubt the organization's ability at all.
You have made a big mess this time and almost ruined the organization's big plan. If the others were to be exposed because of this, would you be able to bear the responsibility? Kong Yuxuan glared at Lan Yue angrily. Speaking of this, she was still angry. If I could make the decision to deal with you, I would want to shoot you dead.
Sister Kong, calm down. I have already cleaned up all the traces. I don't believe that the public security department has the ability to track down the clues. After all, we were taught by the most famous investigation experts in the world. In terms of anti-investigation ability, those public security departments can't even catch up to us. Lan Yue chuckled. Her words showed her great confidence. When she took out the new identification documents, Lan Yue laughed even more happily. Sister Kong, you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Finally, you used my current face to help me get the identification documents. Otherwise, I would have to go through more trouble.
I didn't help you with the identification documents. It was done by the organization. The organization has a record of your faces. Kong Yuxuan replied coldly. It seemed that she was very angry.
