Wu Gubo left. Hearing the sound of the door closing, Sun Zhangsheng and the other two walked out from behind the screen. It turned out that it was indeed a false alarm tonight. Sun Zhangsheng waved to his two subordinates behind him. They had nothing to do.
"Director Chen let him go just like that?" Sun Zhangsheng said to Chen Xing after his two subordinates left the room.
"If I don't let him go, do I have to tie him up and send him to the Public Security Bureau?" Chen Xing turned his head and glanced at Sun Zhangsheng. The conversation with Wu Gubo just now made Chen Xing feel uneasy. In fact, if Wu Gubo really chose to abscond, perhaps Chen Xing would be more willing to see that result.
Sun Zhangsheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "That's right. That's the matter of the Public Security Bureau of Dongjiang Province. It has nothing to do with us. But President Wu is really a man of character. He dares to take responsibility for what he has done." Sun Zhangsheng had heard their conversation from behind the screen. Sun Zhangsheng really admired Wu Gubo, who he had never met before. A scholar daring to do such a thing, that kind of courage was not something an ordinary person could have.
"Dare to take responsibility for what he has done?" Chen Xing smiled. If the Public Security Bureau did not find out that Wu Gubo was involved, Wu Gubo might not have taken the initiative to admit it. No one wanted to be a fool. But even so, Chen Xing did not dislike Wu Gubo. Perhaps Wu Gubo was destined to be a sad person, but he also deserved Chen Xing's respect. Compared with people like Qin Jianhui, Wu Gubo was thousands of times more noble. But he ended up like this. Chen Xing could not tell how he felt in his heart. "Power is right. This society really forces people to scheme for power."
"Alas, I don't know much about Dongjiang University, and I don't know what has happened. But tonight, President Wu's sincere words still made me admire him." Sun Zhangsheng shook his head and smiled. He also noticed that Chen Xing seemed to have conflicting opinions about Wu Gubo, so he could only make such an evaluation.
Sun Zhangsheng turned around, walked to the window, and looked down. Actually, if this President Wu had chosen to flee abroad after the shooting incident, it would have been very easy. At that time, no one suspected him. If he wanted to leave, he could do so with just a word. Unfortunately, he didn't leave. Now, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't. Now that he was going to be judged by the law, he didn't know if he regretted it or not.
If he regretted it, perhaps he wouldn't have chosen to do so in the first place. Chen Xing shook his head. Based on the conversation between the two of them, Chen Xing could sense Wu Gubo's indignation and rage, not regret. It was likely that the other party had made up his mind to do this. There was not the slightest hint of regret.
Huh? So fast? Sun Zhangsheng was surprised. He stared downstairs with bright eyes, then turned around and said to Chen Xing, "Director Chen, those people downstairs should be from the Public Security Bureau of Dongjiang Province."
Hearing that, Chen Xing was stunned. He quickly walked to the window and looked down. Wu Gubo, who had just walked out of the hotel, was stopped by a few people. They were all wearing big caps, and there was no doubt that they were the police. If they were not from the capital, they were obviously from the Dongjiang Province.
If they were really from the Public Security Bureau of Dongjiang Province, it would be really fast. Chen Xing sighed. Seeing that Wu Gubo was about to be taken away by the police, Chen Xing felt sad for him. He had lost the rest of his life.
"Just now, I heard from President Wu that he took the initiative to call the Dongjiang police when he was about to reach the capital in the afternoon, which was equivalent to exposing his own whereabouts. If the Dongjiang police received the call in the afternoon and rushed to the capital, it would not be strange for them to appear in the capital at this time. Moreover, they found the address so accurately in such a short time. Sun Zhangsheng said.
"Just now, I forgot to ask him about the specific situation of the shooting. Although he was the mastermind, there must be someone who carried out the shooting. The news I received was that the police couldn't find the person who shot at me. The police's judgment was that it was likely to be a killer with rich experience in anti-reconnaissance. I don't know where Wu Gubo found this person." Chen Xing frowned for a moment.
If it was an assassin hired by him, it would be useless to ask him. The assassin would disappear after finishing his job. Even if Wu Gubo provided some clues, I was afraid that the police wouldn't be able to find him. Sun Zhangsheng shook his head. Speaking of this, he had the right to speak. As he spoke, Sun Zhangsheng exclaimed in surprise again. Why did those policemen bring Wu Gubo into the hotel again?
Really? Chen Xing looked downstairs again. Indeed, they were walking into the hotel.
I'm afraid they are coming to our room. Sun Zhangsheng thought for a while and soon got the answer. As an experienced police officer, he understood how the police handled cases. The moment they caught the suspect, the police couldn't just leave. They had to know who the suspect had met, where he had been to, and whether there were other accomplices. These were all things that the police had to pay attention to.
Sun Zhangsheng's guess was right. In just two or three minutes, someone knocked on the door again. Sun Zhangsheng went to open the door. Chen Xing looked in the direction of the door. Who else could it be other than Wu Gubo standing at the door? There were also four police officers staring at the opened door with vigilance. They rushed in. Fortunately, Sun Zhangsheng was experienced. As soon as the door opened, Sun Zhangsheng took a big step back. Otherwise, he would have been knocked down by the police.
Don't get excited. I'm also a police officer. At this time, Sun Zhangsheng was still in the mood to joke and tease the police officers. Sun Zhangsheng quickly showed his identity. Otherwise, he would be taken down as a suspect first.
After Sun Zhangsheng showed his identity, the other two police officers who were about to rush towards Chen Xing also stopped and looked at Sun Zhangsheng suspiciously. It wasn't until they confirmed that Sun Zhangsheng's ID was real and that he was the director of a branch office that the police officers came to their senses. They hurriedly stopped their aggressive posture of subduing the suspect.
I told you that I just came to apologize to Director Chen in person. Do you believe me now? Wu Gubo shook his head and smiled bitterly. When he was downstairs, he was stopped by a few police officers from the Dongjiang Provincial Department who had just arrived. These people asked him who he was meeting at the hotel and which room he went to. Wu Gubo answered truthfully. Since he didn't plan to escape, he didn't want to hide anything. Meeting Chen Xing was not something that could be shameful. Wu Gubo naturally told them everything. Unfortunately, no one believed him when he told the truth.
These police officers from the Dongjiang Provincial Department had never seen Chen Xing before. On the night that Chen Xing was injured, he returned to the capital with Zhang Guozhong and the others on a military plane to recuperate at the General Military Medical Hospital. Other than the leader who was in the ward that day, these ordinary police officers didn't see Chen Xing. As a result, when they rushed in, they had to subdue the people inside before questioning them to prevent any danger. Thus, when they saw Chen Xing, they also didn't recognize him.
Sun Zhangsheng was the director of the Public Security Bureau. The other unfamiliar face was obviously the Director Chen who was shot. The few police officers greeted Sun Zhangsheng and Chen Xing with fear and trepidation. However, their eyes were filled with confusion. Their gazes swept from Wu Gubo to Chen Xing. These police officers were a little confused. Wasn't it Chen Xing who was ordered by Wu Gubo to shoot him? Why did these two people meet each other out of nowhere? There were so many strange things these days. When enemies met, they could still act as if nothing had happened …
President Wu, I want to ask you one last question. Was he the assassin you hired or …? Do you still have any clues? While Wu Gubo came in again, Chen Xing asked the question that he had forgotten to ask just now.
Wu Gubo, who didn't expect Chen Xing to suddenly ask this question, was slightly stunned. His expression changed slightly. Wu Gubo shook his head. That was a gunman I hired. I was introduced to him by a mysterious middleman on the Internet. We only contacted each other on the Internet. After we made a plan and completed the task, he disappeared. I couldn't find him even if I wanted to.
Is that so? Chen Xing glanced at Wu Gubo and was somewhat disappointed.
In the end, the policemen left with Wu Gubo. After making such a mistake, the policemen from the Dongjiang Provincial Department didn't dare to stay in the room any longer. They didn't dare to ask Chen Xing and Sun Zhangsheng what they talked about when they met Wu Gubo. Although they didn't believe that Wu Gubo would go through all the trouble to avoid the investigation of the Dongjiang Provincial Police and come to the capital just to apologize to Chen Xing, they couldn't ask about the identities of the two people in front of them.
My intuition tells me that Wu Gubo is very likely to be lying just now. I observed him. When he spoke, his eyes avoided eye contact. Sun Zhangsheng said to Chen Xing.
Forget it. Even if he lied, let him be. Maybe he knows the person Wu Gubo hired, but he doesn't want to implicate the other party. I don't want to interrogate him. Chen Xing shook his head and said.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Sun Zhangsheng nodded with a smile and didn't say anything else. He looked at the time and said with a smile, "It's not even eight o 'clock yet. What else does Director Chen plan to do tonight?"
Just as Wu Gubo and the policemen from the Dongjiang Provincial Department walked to the lobby of the hotel, a few people walked in from outside the hotel. Among them were two very attractive and beautiful women. A man was even fawning over one of the women. "Boss Lin, this is your first time attending a charity banquet in China, right? We have invited many celebrities from the entertainment circle. Nowadays, domestic artists are also trying their best to follow the example of foreigners and be enthusiastic about charity."
"I hope it's not just superficial." The woman who was called Boss Lin smiled. She was Lin Qing, the Deputy General Manager of the Greater China Area of Gray Company. The man next to her was Kong Yuxuan. Lin Qing's eyes slightly froze.
Kong Yuxuan also saw the people coming and gave Lin Qing a warning look. Lin Qing just smiled calmly. She glanced at Wu Gubo and the others who were walking toward them. The smile on Lin Qing's face had already returned to normal. The eye contact between her and Kong Yuxuan only happened for a moment. The people around them didn't notice it.
