"Sister Yihan, four cups of iced American style." The boy who came to the store carrying a heavy schoolbag found a table to put down his schoolbag, and immediately went to the bar with several classmates and ordered a few cups of coffee.
"Okay." Chen Yihan yawned and couldn't help but ask: "Do you really think the Ice American Style tastes good? Won't it be too bitter to drink?"
Hearing Li Zhihan's question, the boy said with a grimace: "Who would think this kind of thing tastes good? It's not just for refreshing yourself. I'm so sleepy every morning. If I don't drink a cup of American wine, I'll wake up and fall asleep if I learn." ”
"That's right, Sister Yihan, you don't know that we are now taking online classes, and the teacher's lectures are so hypnotic that I feel like falling asleep when I listen to his lectures." Another boy also echoed.
Chen Yihan raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? I heard that those who get sleepy when listening to lectures are essentially bad students. You don't come here to study every day just for psychological comfort, right?"
Several boys were stunned, looked at each other, and then quickly retorted: "Sister Yihan, we are serious foreign language students in Jiangning, how can we be scumbags!"
Jiangning Foreign Languages is a top high school in Jiangbei Province and even in the country. The admission rate of 985 can reach more than 80% every year. Therefore, students who attend Jiangning Foreign Languages School are somewhat proud of themselves.
"Okay, hurry up and study. I'm going to make coffee for you." Chen Yihan smiled and dismissed the children casually.
Several days have passed since the last heavy rainstorm, and Jiangning City has already returned to its original living conditions. Even on the day after the heavy rain, no one mentioned the five-day disaster again. , as if those five days did not exist and were completely erased from people's memories.
Although Chen Yihan didn't know exactly what happened in the past few days, judging from the fact that she was the only one who still remembered the disaster, there was a high probability that this incident was also related to Mr. Zhang upstairs.
Four cups of iced Americano were quickly prepared. Before I knew it, I had been staying in this shop for a month or two, and I became more and more skilled at making coffee.
Although I still occasionally think of the life I lived with my husband and daughter in that villa, maybe it’s because I feel like I’m cultivating my mind in the days I live now, so gradually I no longer have such a strong attachment to that life. I thought, as if I could live a happy life by myself.
Even when I sometimes see these high school children studying, I can’t help but think that my daughter and husband should have already arrived in a distant foreign country by this time, right?
I don’t know how the school affairs are going, and whether my daughter’s house and daily necessities have been purchased there.
But soon Chen Yihan smiled bitterly and shook his head, getting rid of these messy thoughts from his mind.
Now that I have made the decision to leave my family, I can no longer be bothered by these things, otherwise I will be unable to leave for the rest of my life.
Chen Yihan sighed quietly, walked to the door of the store, and squinted at the rising sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning.
In the days after the heavy rain, two major events occurred in Jiangning City that shocked the city.
The first thing is that Jiangning University announced that the new contractor of the school’s restaurant will be the city’s Laolang Group. At the handover ceremony of the school’s restaurant, Li Hanmin, an old and highly respected professor in the school, did not know what he was doing and stood up openly. In front of the cameras of the city TV station and other media, he publicly admitted that the reason why Laolang Group won the bid was because he took advantage of his position and let several school leaders in the school, who were also his former students, choose Laolang Group through backstage operations.
Li Hanmin's sudden speech, and also in such a public place, immediately caught everyone present off guard, especially Chen Hao from Laolang Group and the president of Jiangning University. A bunch of thoughts appeared in their minds at the same time. .
One reason is that because Li Hanmin did this, the plan he had planned for a long time would most likely come to naught. Originally, Li Hanmin had already bypassed the president of Jiang University when he did this. After all, there were more important things to do. , my mind will not be focused on such trivial matters.
But today, in public places and in front of the media, even if the principal doesn't care, he must do something to deal with the unexpected situation in front of him.
In this case, nine times out of ten, you will push yourself out.
On the other side, the principal of Jiang University didn't look very good at this time, and his smile became stiff.
He knew that in this matter, the people below must have some unclear activities. However, this kind of thing is very common in every school. Anyway, as long as the school receives the money and takes advantage, it is not given to anyone.
But this Li Hanmin didn't know why he suddenly had a seizure, and he insisted that Chen Hao won the bid because of his own connections. This would be a big loss to the school's reputation and image.
Especially now that it's June, and the college entrance examination will be completed next month. It might have an impact on the school's enrollment. If the students all apply to other schools in the province, then the principals of the other side will not be able to do it every day. Arrogant in front of himself.
But now that Li Hanmin has said it, he has to quickly think of some way to restore the school's reputation. After all, since he has become the principal, he is here to turn the tide.
Just as the two people's brains were racing, Li Hanmin said something again that made the leaders at the scene directly order the media to cut off the live broadcast.
"Thirty years ago, I actually killed Mr. Ji Zhongji."
As soon as Li Hanmin said these words, the city officials who had come to support him quickly motioned to the media to turn off the live broadcast.
Several leaders looked at each other in confusion. It took a while before they realized who Ji Zhong was talking about.
The case that seemed a bit bizarre thirty years ago has once again resurfaced in front of the world.
The previous president of Jiangning University was Mr. Ji Zhongji, who was recognized by the education community as having both ability and political integrity. He was the only one at that time who could be called "Mr."
As luck would have it, it was also because of the outsourcing of the school restaurant that he used his position to seek personal gain for his brother-in-law's Lexiang Restaurant, allowing him to obtain the right to operate the restaurant.
Because of this incident, Li Chenglong, the vice principal in charge of catering in the school, resented it. Finally, on an extremely ordinary night, Li Chenglong got drunk and killed Mr. Ji.
This incident was a major event that shocked the whole country at the time. There was even an order from the capital to deal with the matter seriously. Even though Mr. Ji's family was later willing to forgive, Li Chenglong was still sentenced to death.
Moreover, this incident also had a considerable impact on Jiangsu University. If this incident had not caused the Ministry of Education to be dissatisfied with the school, Jiangsu University might have been the number one university in the country by now.
This celebration ceremony was forcibly terminated due to Li Hanmin's self-report, and Chen Hao's winning bid was announced by the school to be temporarily canceled until the health and safety of Laolang Catering and other aspects were investigated.
Li Hanmin was taken away by the public security organs for review on the spot, and the incident quickly spread to the ears of the provincial party committee leaders.
Because this incident has been going on for so long, many people may not remember who Ji Zhong is now.
Therefore, the leaders of the provincial party committee did a good job in controlling the spread of this matter within the province.
But despite this, the above still gave instructions to investigate this matter thoroughly, and the situation of the year when the case was closed without any clarity could not happen again.
In the Public Security Bureau, before the public security organs could interrogate him, Li Hanmin himself explained what happened that night.
Thirty years ago, because he owed Chen Hao a loan shark, he promised Chen Hao to help him obtain the right to operate the school restaurant. Later, when Chen Hao failed to win the bid and forced himself to pay back the money, he was rescued by Mr. Ji, and finally, when he repaid a favor with a grudge, why was he so drunk? After killing Mr. Ji, his uncle, Vice Principal Li Chenglong, couldn't bear to see his lineage cut off and volunteered to take the blame for him. He has been filled with guilt for so many years. After this series of events, Li Hanmin and Li Hanmin He explained all the details clearly, and even mentioned that Chen Hao was still opening a casino to lend money.
After recording the criminal facts of Li Hanmin, the police immediately sent people to investigate and collect evidence. Today's investigation technology, coupled with modern advanced technology, is much better than thirty years ago.
Many things that seemed impossible back then are now commonplace.
Coupled with Li Hanmin's cooperation, the police had complete evidence in less than a week, proving the authenticity of Li Hanmin's account.
As for the matters related to Chen Hao mentioned by Li Hanmin, the police did not investigate Chen Hao due to insufficient evidence.
But this is also expected. Based on Li Hanmin's words alone and Chen Hao's status in the city, the police can't do anything to him for the time being, so they simply ignore him.
After the investigation was completed, although this case was already thirty years ago, the provincial party committee decided to prosecute directly by the prosecutors, sentenced Li Hanmin to death, and went to express condolences to Li Chenglong’s wife and daughter. The police also The judge expressed his sincere apology to Li Chenglong’s family.
Although Li Chenglong took over the matter on his own initiative, as the police they did not investigate the facts clearly and should bear some responsibility.
As compensation, the government expressed its willingness to bear the treatment costs for Li Chenglong's family until he recovers and is discharged.
As for the huge debt owed by Li Hanmin, because he made the matter so big, he had no choice but to let it go.
After this incident was over, all parties involved breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing that this case, which was somewhat unclear at the beginning, had now come to an end.
But the day after Li Hanmin was sentenced to death, another major event happened in Jiangning City, and this time it involved people from the city to the province, including officials at all levels and bosses of major companies. Some were pulled overboard.
Even the capital did not allow the province to intervene and personally sent a task force to Jiangning City, and also deployed a company of troops from the nearby military region to protect the safety of the task force.
This behavior also made Jiangbei Province and Jiangning City a little nervous. This clearly shows that they no longer trust the people in their own provinces, thinking that the province may have been eroded by Chen Hao from top to bottom.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. The top leaders of the province and city had changed several times, but they didn't know who was related to Chen Hao until they left.
After Li Hanmin was sentenced to death, everyone just regarded the matter as a topic of conversation after dinner. After mentioning it, no one continued to talk about it. After all, the people of that era had nothing to do with the young people of today.
And at about nine o'clock that night, an account nicknamed Han posted a message on major platforms such as Douyin and Weibo.
The theme of the news is that Chen Hao, the chairman of Laolang Group, has teamed up with the underground gang force Zhao Laosan in recent years to open a large underground casino in Jiangning City to provide entertainment for some prominent figures in Jiangning City.
These people include some provincial and municipal government officials, as well as executives of some listed companies in the city, and they have spent a lot of money there.
This message described in detail how Chen Hao and Zhao Laosan deceived people into gambling in the casino, and then used back-end manipulation to make these people not only borrow all their assets, but also owe huge sums. of debt.
Chen Hao took this opportunity to lend usury to these people and agreed on high interest rates that they could not afford.
If they do not agree to Chen Hao's request, these people will be locked up in the casino and subjected to inhuman torture.
How have these high-ranking big shots ever suffered such a crime? After a few days, they succumbed obediently and were forced to sign a loan sharking agreement. In the end, the handle fell into the hands of Chen Hao. From now on, they can only follow Chen Hao's instructions and work for him. work.
Those government officials were also controlled by Chen Hao using the same method. Among them was Li Guangsheng, deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. His son worked as an undercover agent in Zhao Laosan's casino. In order to provide intelligence to the police, he He was hacked to death in a sewer pipe, but he didn't expect that he finally handed the information into the hands of his biological father. He thought he was the only person he could trust, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be the most hidden person in the city public security bureau. It's a pity that he didn't know until his death that all the hard work he had done over the years was in vain.
In addition to those big shots, there are many ordinary people who have never talked about Chen Hao's vicious hands. Perhaps they believe that mosquito legs are also meat. Even if ordinary people only have tens of thousands of yuan in savings, Chen Hao and Zhao Laosan will kill them. All the money goes into the casino.
Ordinary people couldn't afford the sky-high usury loans. In the end, after Zhao Laosan kept coming to the house to pester him, he was forced to commit suicide in various ways, causing his family to be destroyed.
And Zhao Laosan is still not satisfied even after reaching this point, forcing their wives, children, or parents to continue to pay off gambling debts, whether by selling houses or various methods, until he finds his next target. Until these people lose interest.
Among them, this account focused on Zhao Quan’s family. The whole family was forced to death by Zhao Laosan. Zhao Quan also went crazy later and is still living in Jiangning Mental Hospital. The nurse said that he now feels sick when he sees meat. , even if he is mentally disturbed now, the sequelae left by what happened back then will still follow him for the rest of his life.
In addition to these text descriptions, this account also attached more than a dozen videos of various sizes. The contents of the videos were all about the crazy things Chen Hao and Zhao Laosan did inside and outside the casino.
From the perspective of the video, it can be seen that all of these videos are secretly filmed by insiders while doing these things. Although the angles are different, fortunately, the picture quality and sound of the videos are very clear, especially Zhao Laosan and Chen Hao's face and the orders they gave were also clearly recorded, allowing everyone on the Internet to see the true faces of Chen Hao and Zhao Laosan.
With the rapid development of the Internet, this article caused an uproar on the Internet less than a minute after it was published. Not only in Jiangbei Province, but all netizens across the country saw this article that shocked the whole country through Douyin and Weibo. .
Many people thought that this article would be deleted immediately by various platforms. After all, this is not only a big scandal, but also mentions too many government officials, and they all name them. This is an unfortunate thing for the country. Suitable for public matters.
But what surprised everyone was that five or six hours after it was published, this article was still at the top of the hot search lists on various platforms. Even until the morning of the next day, you could still find this article immediately when you opened these software. The article, and even some news media, seeing the lack of official action, began to blatantly forward and report on it, raising the popularity of this article to a new level again.
Everyone is waiting for the official response. Some bold self-media have begun to manually access Aite’s official Weibo or Douyin accounts, and some media have begun to report on the official’s inaction.
While everyone was waiting, this account posted a second article about the illegal behavior of Chen Hao and Zhao Laosan. Compared with the previous one, this one had a bigger message, and the anger of the people was instantly pushed to the top. climax.
In the video of the new article, Chen Hao, Zhao Laosan and several senior officials from Jiangning City are sitting at a large round table. Next to each of them is an underage girl who is about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed as a maid. Pretend to be there to pour wine for a few people while they are having dinner.
After these people finished eating, they made a gesture and the girls skillfully got under the table. This kind of action that did not require verbal communication was enough to show that this was not the first time.
Maybe everyone wouldn't be so angry if it were just other women found in the video, but all the girls in the video were underage girls. The animalistic behavior of these people completely angered the crowd.
Before the official could respond, tens of thousands of angry people from all over the country spontaneously came to Jiangning City and blocked the downstairs of Chen Hao's Laolang Building, blocking all exits of the Laolang Building. Even if a mosquito wants to fly out, it will be discovered immediately.
Ordinary employees in Chen Hao's company also learned the true inside story of the company because of these two articles, and left the company one after another. Only Chen Hao and a few senior executives of the company were left to close the door of the company and stayed for several days. Don't dare to go out.
