In the Wei Manor in the south of the city, the housekeeper, whose face was still injured, walked through the corridors hung with famous paintings, stepped on the thick carpet and came to the door of a study.
The servant guarding the door pushed open one of the doors and whispered: "Steward An, the master is waiting for you."
Butler An straightened his clothes, carefully walked into the elegantly decorated study, and bowed to an old man sitting there who was reading a newspaper, "Master."
Wei Hang is already an old man of nearly ninety years old, but he is well-maintained and still has thick and neatly combed black hair, with only a slight frost on his temples.
There is no sign of sagging skin on his face, and his chin has a neatly trimmed short beard. He is thin and energetic. He looks to be in his forties or fifties at most. The medicines provided by Central City all year round ensure that he is in good health. state.
There was no emotion or anger on his face, and there was no hint that a young son had just died. He slowly put the newspaper down and looked up.
"He's back. Is Xiaojun's body coming back?"
Butler An lowered his head and said: "The Esoteric Cult Bureau said that the cause of death is still under investigation and the body needs to be kept with them for a while."
"That's it." Weihang said slowly, "Then just leave it with them for a few days. When this matter is over, they will send the person back intact."
Butler An raised his head and said uneasily, "Master, the matter of double teaching may not be easy to handle."
Wei Hang said slowly: "Yes, since it's touched your hands, it's not so easy to clean them off."
In the incident of the abandoned factory area, the biggest problem lies in the secret ritual.
The Dashun Republic of China government is very sensitive to cult rituals, so the Esoteric Cult Examination Bureau has a lot of power and independent funding. In addition, there is basically no interaction with other departments, so it is difficult to be affected.
If this matter is confirmed and we dig deeper, there will be too much to do. The higher-ups may even use this matter to break the inherent pattern that Yangzhi City has maintained for many years and loosen the high dam they have built. .
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and it was summer, but he felt a bit cold. He said, "Old An, did you open the window a little too wide?"
Butler An hurriedly said: "Master, I will close it right now."
"Hey, don't be in a hurry to close it. The room is stuffy. It's good to have some air now and then."
"Yes, sir."
Weihang said slowly: "Have you been asked to investigate clearly?"
Butler An hurriedly took two steps forward, respectfully placed a document under his arm on the table, and said, "Master, they are all here, but... we can't find out the situation of Chen Chuan's parents."
"Can't find it?"
"His father is not a native of Yangzhi City, and his mother left Yangzhi in her early years, but later she fostered her son in his sister's home. The situation is completely blank."
"Well, forget it if you can't find it. These are not important." Weihang doesn't care about this, as long as he makes sure that there is no background behind him.
"But we found something worth noting." Butler An walked up, pulled a document out of the portfolio, and handed it over.
Weihang took it over, then took a pair of glasses from Butler An and put them on. He read the contents on them carefully and his expression became solemn.
"The young lady of the Meng family has a good relationship with this Chen Chuan?"
"Yes, it is said that everyone in the school knows it. Miss Meng did not deny it. She even wanted to take him with her when she went to Central City, but he refused. Even so, she still gave him a name card before leaving. This is Many people have witnessed it with their own eyes and can confirm that the news is true.”
Weihang thought deeply for a while and said slowly: "This student must die, otherwise we people will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Yangzhi in the future, and the high dam will collapse."
He could see clearly that the key now was Chen Chuan. As the only surviving party in the old factory incident and the focus of the conflict, he was also an important witness. Only by killing him could things go their way. Only by arranging according to your wishes can you prevent the Esoteric Cult Review Bureau from continuing to investigate further.
He looked at the swaying branches outside and said, "If something happens to the Meng family, I will entrust people from Molan Company to come forward and make peace. They will not embarrass us because of a dead person."
He glanced at the clock at this time. There were still five minutes left before seven o'clock. He closed his eyes and leaned on the back seat, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed. Butler An did not dare to disturb him and stood there with his hands hanging down.
Five minutes passed, and just as the clock started to ring, a servant outside said, "Sir, the guest is here."
Wei Hang opened his eyes and said, "Lao An, my legs and feet are not good, please go and greet me."
Butler An said yes, turned around and went out. After a while, a young man wearing a company uniform was brought in. After Wei Hang saw him, he took a cane and slowly stood up from the chair.
The young man came to him, smiled and said, "Hello Mr. Wei, Director Luo asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."
Weihang said: "Thank you for your greetings, please take a seat."
The young man came to the side and sat down, keeping a smile on his face, "Mr. Wei, Director Luo said that he has deep sympathy for your youngest son and other victims."
Weihang bowed.
The young man continued: "Director Luo said that he heard the partners' demands, and he promised to help you tide over the difficulties this time."
The expression on Weihang's face relaxed a little, and he said politely: "Please thank Director Luo for me. We will cooperate with your company to put pressure on the Government Affairs Department at the next Government Affairs Department meeting and achieve your company's requirements."
The man smiled and said: "Mr. Wei, the company thanks you for your efforts. The supervisor said that he will be there in person tomorrow. Well, the supervisor is still waiting for my news, so I will leave first." With that, he stood got up.
Wei Hang also stood up on crutches, "Please tell Director Luo that Wei's Consortium is his forever friend and partner."
"I will tell you on your behalf, Mr. Wei, please stay."
"Lao An, see the guests off for me."
The young man left the study, walked all the way out of the manor villa, and came to a car parked outside. He opened the door and got in. He said respectfully to a figure sitting there in the back seat: "Supervisor, Guard." Hangzhou agreed and they will cooperate with our company in the future.”
The figure said: "The death of Weihang's son is really a good thing. The company's demands that have been unable to be promoted for a long time may be achieved this time."
The young man said: "As long as these two pieces of the puzzle are put together, the company's layout in Yangzhi will be completed."
"It's not that simple. In the case of water affairs, 'Canghong Tiancan' is a national enterprise. It is difficult to open its mouth, so we can only take it slowly. On the other hand, in the case of private security, we can take this opportunity to exclude Wu Yi. "He gestured, "Let's drive."
The car started and then drove out of the Wei Manor slowly.
In Quanzhou District, within the headquarters of the Patrol Bureau, Chen Chuan was sitting in the middle of a spacious room, holding a book in his hand and reading through it.
Nominally he was taken away and controlled by the patrol bureau, but in reality he was under heavy protection. Three meals a day were delivered by dedicated personnel. There was no shortage of various facilities here, and the conditions were much better than those in the school dormitories.
There was a knock on the door. He raised his head and said, "Please come in."
After the door opened, Gao Ming walked in from the outside. He looked around, walked over, and said with a smile: "It seems that the conditions here are good, but cousin, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for a few days."
Chen Chuan put the book in his hand aside, "Is there any news?"
Gao Ming came to sit down opposite Chen Chuan and said, "I already knew before I came here that there will be an internal sentencing meeting in the name of the Government Affairs Department tomorrow, mainly to discuss how to convict my cousin."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Did you alert the Government Affairs Office?"
"Yes, I heard that many members of the Advisory Council will be present this time. Those powerful families see clearly that if they want to deal with you cousin through legal procedures, then they must suppress those who support you behind the scenes. Those people or forces include Wu Yi, the Patrol Bureau, and the Esoteric Cult Review Bureau.
But there is no way these departments can be allowed to be suppressed, so this time most of the forces in Yangzhi City will be passively or actively involved in this matter, and no one wants to retreat. "
Because the window he was facing at this moment, Gao Ming's glasses had very bright reflections, he smiled and said:
"Each of them will have their own interests and demands, and it is usually not up to us to decide what happens next. My cousin is the center of this incident, but he will also be a marginalized figure, because no matter what you say, what you do will What, it seems that it has become insignificant and useless in this game of power."
Chen Chuan said slowly: "No, it's still useful."
Gao Ming smiled and said: "Yes, it's useful, so next...
The two discussed for a long time, and Gao Ming went back to make preparations.
After he left, Chen Chuanze returned to the desk, picked up the book and continued reading. His state seemed very relaxed, even more relaxed than in Wuyi Academy.
Shortly after dinner in the evening, Guan Yuming came over. He asked his deputy to go out. After the door was closed, he sat down and asked: "Student Chen, how are you? Are you still adaptable here?"
Chen Chuan said with a smile: "Thank you to the customs bureau for taking care of me. The conditions here are good. It feels like I am back at home. I have two more bowls of rice."
Guan Yuming laughed, then looked a little solemn and said, "You are right to say that. The patrol bureau is your home. Well, your cousin should have told you what will happen tomorrow?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
Guan Yuming said: "Don't think too much about tomorrow. The patrol bureau will stand behind you, but you can't overestimate the limits of some people. There is no need to be afraid of those enemies on the surface. They are always visible to you." Wherever you go, what you need to be wary of is the invisible."
Chen Chuan said seriously: "Thank you Guanju, I know."
Guan Yuming said: "Okay." He stood up again and said solemnly: "Go to bed early today and have a good rest so that you can have the energy to deal with it tomorrow. As long as you don't let go, the Patrol Bureau will support you in this matter."
You to the end. "
Chen Chuan thanked him and stood up to see Guan Yuming out.
At this moment, outside, the inspectors under the General Administration were also discussing this matter.
"Well done, Xiao Chuan. He killed hundreds of them by himself. I heard they were all powerful men. It was so damn exciting!"
"Fuck, our kids from the patrol bureau are still capable!"
"What does it say above, do you want to protect your biography?"
"What I didn't say is that I can't protect my own people. How can I still obey others in the future? Can the patrol bureau still stand and talk when they go out? Not to mention that we are taking advantage of it this time!"
At this time, in the family area of the patrol bureau, Nian Fuli also returned home from the police station. Yu Wan immediately came up and said worriedly: "How is Chan'er? I heard that he will go to the court tomorrow?"
Nian Fuli looked very relaxed and said, "It's okay. The bureau will protect him this time. Gao Ming is with him. Gao Ming is a very smart kid. He should be fine. Don't worry."
Yu Wan sighed and said, "The second sister was like this back then. She did a lot of things quietly. I was afraid that Chan'er would follow the same path as the second sister."
Nian Fuli waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry too much. Just sleep peacefully. We will know the result after tomorrow. There is Wu Yi Academy behind Xiao Chuan. Whatever happens, it will be fine."
"Um."
Yu Wan was comforted, and Nian Fuli went to the yard outside to smoke alone. His expression changed from the relaxed look before, and his brows frowned.
This time, nearly dozens of powerful disciples died under Chen Chuan's knife. Although the evidence now shows that these people were illegally armed and even held secret religious rituals. These are beneficial to Chen Chuan, but this matter may not be the same. It's not that easy to uncover.
He thought silently, "About this...it seems like I have to send a telegram to Qian'er."
