Chapter 79 Anticipation!

Shengyun Hotel.

This hotel is specifically designated by the Shengyun City government to provide reception services.

The guests of Shengyun Hotel are mostly celebrities from all walks of life in Shengyun City. It is a gathering place for businessmen, officials, celebrities and corporate executives.

At this moment, in a private room on the sixth floor of the Shengyun Hotel.

Wen Zicheng, director of the Construction Bureau, raised his glass, his face flushed and beaming.

"Come on, everyone! A thousand cups are not enough when drinking with close friends, but we've already had our fill today. Let's finish this last one, and we'll meet again next time!"

The other people seated in the private room also raised their glasses.

"Come on! Let's all raise another glass to Director Wen!"

"Thank you, Director Wen, for your continued care and consideration!"

Inside the private room, amidst the clinking of glasses and lively conversation, the atmosphere reached a new level of enthusiasm.

After downing a glass of wine.

Everyone's face was flushed.

After saying a few more polite words, Wen Zicheng...

The banquet thus came to an end.

Wen Zicheng left the private room with two of his capable subordinates.

After arriving downstairs, he got into the back seat of his official car.

The person sitting in the driver's seat was his driver, who was also one of his trusted subordinates at the Industrial and Construction Authority.

At this point, the driver asked respectfully, "Director Wen! Are we going back to your home now, or is there somewhere else to go?"

"Take me to Qingfeng Martial Arts Hall. Let me digest my food in the gravity room first before going back."

"Yes, Director Wen!"

The roar of the car engine began.

Just then, Wen Zicheng felt a vibration in his pocket, followed by the ringing of the phone.

Wen Zicheng took out his phone and looked at it.

It was an unfamiliar number, and the first few digits of the phone number indicated that the caller was using a public phone.

A public phone, calling his work phone?!

Wen Zicheng was puzzled.

He also has a cell phone, which is his own private phone.

Wen Zicheng usually doesn't reject work calls even if they aren't saved in his contacts, because he's worried that the caller might genuinely be dealing with work-related matters.

Or perhaps the call is from a superior he doesn't know, and he might upset the other party if he refuses to answer.

Wen Zicheng slid the answer button, put the phone to his ear, and a hint of impatience appeared between his brows and eyes.

He felt that it was inconsiderate of the person on his work phone to call him at this time, as it was after get off work hours.

"Hello!"

The idiom "温子" is not very polite.

"Is this Director Wen from the Construction and Infrastructure Bureau?"

The voice coming from the phone sounded a bit strange, as if the throat wasn't fully open.

This made Wen Zicheng frown slightly, his expression displeased.

It feels like the other party is playing tricks.

"When you call me, you should introduce yourself first!"

"Director Wen, in Room 301, Building 5, Lijingyuan, Guhe Community, Xingsheng District, there is evidence of crimes committed by Shen Jing, the younger sister of Deputy Mayor Shen Yongli, hidden in a celadon vase in the study!"

"This house is currently uninhabited!"

"Unit 301, Building 5, Lijingyuan, Guhe Community, Xingsheng District! Director Wen, please don't get it wrong!"

Wen Zicheng straightened up instantly from his back in the back seat.

He was about to ask who the other person was when he heard the dial tone indicating the call had been disconnected.

Wen Zicheng held the phone up to his face, his brows furrowed as he stared at the screen showing the other person had hung up.

"Evidence of crimes committed by Shen Yongli's sister, Shen Jing, in Room 301, Building 5, Lijingyuan, Guhe Community, Xingsheng District?!"

"Who is this person? Are they lying to me or is it true?!"

"You have evidence of Shen Jing's crimes but didn't use it yourself, instead calling me to tell me?!"

"Is it because they have a grudge against Shen Yongli's sister and want to use her as a tool to kill her?!"

'

"Are you still trying to stir up trouble between me and Shen Yongli?!"

For a moment, Wen Zicheng was filled with doubts.

Wen Zicheng knew from the fact that the other party was using a public phone that they did not want him to know their identity.

But these words were spoken to him by someone of unknown origin.

Should he believe it or not?!

Based on his intuition, Wen Zicheng believed that what the other party said was true.

Otherwise, even if the other party is just bored and has nothing better to do than lie to him.

And why fabricate a lie about the address where Shen Yongli's sister, Shen Jing, hid evidence of the crime?!

That doesn't make sense!

"Shen Yongli's younger sister..."

"7

I realized it was evidence of Shen Yongli's sister's crimes.

Wen Zicheng made a decision in an instant.

"Xiao Sun! Don't rush to drive!"

"Let me make a phone call first."

The car engine immediately shut down.

Wen Zicheng scrolled through his phone's contacts and found the phone number of Deputy Mayor Gong Zhenhui.

Then I dialed the number.

the other side.

Tu Yuan, who had already hung up the phone, walked out of the convenience store.

At this moment, he was almost fully armed, wearing a baseball cap and pulling the hood of his sweatshirt over the cap.

After leaving the convenience store, he almost always avoided the surveillance cameras.

Given his status as a police officer, he was very familiar with the surveillance setup in the area.

Soon they arrived at a small alley without surveillance cameras, took off their hats and hoodies, and threw them all behind the wall of the residential area next to the alley.

Continue walking forward to the end, where there is a wall, and the alleyway turns right here.

Tu Yuan did not turn right, but instead climbed over the wall and came to the alley on the other side of the wall.

Then they walked out from the other side of the alley.

He did this because he was worried that Wen Zicheng would investigate who had called him afterward.

To avoid being traced back to himself, he had no choice but to use the counter-surveillance techniques he had learned during his months as a trainee police officer.

Fortunately, he was very familiar with the terrain in this area.

Know where there are many surveillance cameras, where there are few, and where there are no surveillance cameras at all.

In this way, even if Wen Zicheng wanted to investigate afterward, he would probably not be able to find out who made the call.

After leaving the alley, Tu Yuan strolled home at a leisurely pace, as if taking a walk.

I got home and closed the door.

Tu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't know if Wen Zicheng believes what I'm saying."

"However, I made it so clear, and explicitly described that ledger as evidence of Shen Jing's crimes."

"As someone who lost to Shen Yongli in the competition for the deputy mayor's position, there's no reason for him to remain indifferent!"

"In short, I cannot touch the ledgers that Shen Jing has hidden myself; I can only and must rely on others."

"For me, I'll just do my best and leave the rest to fate."

"If Wen Zicheng doesn't take any action, then I will write an anonymous letter to the Municipal Government Office in charge of the city's executive branch, and also to the Bureau of Supervision."

"If I hand them a knife and offer them a deputy mayoral position in the city's central leadership team, there's no reason why no one would be tempted."

.

Tu Yuan thought to himself, then walked to the sofa and sat down.

After calming my mind, I began today's practice.

It was already 9 p.m.

at the same time.

Jiuliju Residential Area, located at the border of Chengyang District and Shizhong District.

The neighborhood isn't exactly new; the exterior wall tiles even look a bit dirty.

Wen Zicheng's official vehicle was parked in the underground garage of Jiuliju residential complex.

The driver, Xiao Sun, was playing on his phone in the driver's seat.

Wen Zicheng then arrived at a house door and, with some caution, knocked on the door.

Soon, the door was opened.

The woman who opened the door was in her early forties, but she looked like she was only in her early thirties.

Moreover, her eyebrows and eyes look somewhat similar to Gong Yuanyuan's, and she has a gentle and dignified temperament, which can be described as extremely charming.

And this woman was none other than Liao Qian, Gong Zhenhui's legal wife.

Wen Zicheng dared not look around. He lowered his eyes slightly and said with an apologetic smile, "Good evening, Madam Gong! I'm so sorry to disturb you so late!"

"Come in quickly! Zhenhui is waiting for you in the study!"

Wen Zicheng walked into the house with a cautious expression.

He knew that Gong Zhenhui had married two other concubines besides Liao Qian.

However, both of his concubines lived in another neighborhood not far from Jiuliju.

Most of the time, Gong Zhenhui would return to the house where his legal wife, Liao Qian, lived after get off work.

Upon entering the room, Wen Zicheng saw an extremely young and beautiful woman stand up from the sofa and greet him.

"Hello, Uncle Wen!"

"Yuanyuan, are you watching TV?"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Wen Zicheng went to his study.

Wen Zicheng entered the study.

Gong Yuanyuan then looked at her mother, a hint of doubt on her face, and asked, "Mom! What brings Uncle Wen to see Dad so late?"

"If it's not something serious, they wouldn't need to come this late, would they?"

Liao Qian smiled and said, "Stop asking about your father's business!"

"You're almost twenty-five now, you should take better care of yourself!"

"I've noticed that Xiao Lu has been contacting you a lot lately, but you haven't been paying much attention to him."

"Tell Mom, do you already have someone you like? Is that why you're ignoring Xiao Lu?"

Gong Yuanyuan was shocked to hear Liao Qian asking about this matter again.

She immediately used her "escape technique," rising with a smile and saying, "Mom! I'm going back to my room first; I still have some work to finish!"

Then she ran straight to her bedroom, leaving behind a fragrant breeze.

Liao Qian watched Gong Yuanyuan's retreating figure and said, "You always avoid me when I ask you this!"

"You're not getting any younger, and if you want to get promoted, how can you do it without a family? If you're not married, people will think you're not mature enough!"

But before she could finish speaking, Gong Yuanyuan had already disappeared from sight.

"This girl... she's really a handful."

Liao Qian muttered something softly, but didn't press Gong Yuanyuan for more information.

Inside the study at this moment.

Wen Zicheng sat in the chair, carefully observing the changes in Gong Zhenhui's expression.

He has already reported the contents of that mysterious phone call to Gong Zhenhui.

Gong Zhenhui's appearance gives people a sense of humility, and his overall impression is that of a scholar with a refined air, as well as an indescribable sense of authority.

This blend of qualities makes it almost immediately apparent that Gong Zhenhui holds a distinguished position.

At this moment, Gong Zhenhui was wearing casual clothes, holding a book in his hand, his gaze focused and calm.

Wen Zicheng didn't dare to make too much noise, even his breathing.

For a moment, the room became quiet.

After a few minutes, Wen Zicheng could no longer contain himself.

I was just about to ask Gong Zhenhui for his opinion.

Gong Zhenhui's voice rang out.

"Director Wen, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Gong Zhenhui's voice sounded very calm and steady.

"This... Gong Shizhi, I think this kind of thing might be maliciously fabricated and instigated by the other party in an attempt to affect the stability of our own internal team."

"But I'm afraid that if what they said is true, and it involves illegal or criminal activities, what if we just sit idly by?"

'

As Wen Zicheng spoke, his eyes were secretly observing and interpreting the situation.

Ding Xigong Zhenhui's expression was as calm as still water, making it impossible for him to grasp any of his thoughts.

"Since it involves illegal and criminal activities, why do they never choose to call the police or the public security bureau, but instead call you, the director of the vegetable and construction bureau?"

"Haven't you ever considered why this is?"

Wen Zicheng was slightly taken aback; he had naturally considered it.

He understood that the reason Gong Zhenhui said that was also to say that this trick of using someone else to do one's dirty work was so obvious.

Wen Zicheng even approached Gong Zhenhui, clearly indicating his willingness to be the scapegoat.

For a moment, Wen Zicheng thought that Gong Zhenhui was blaming him for getting involved because of his own selfish interests.

Wen Zicheng felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

"Gong Shizhi, then...then I..."

At this moment, Gong Zhenhui interrupted Wen Zicheng directly.

"Alright! Director Wen, I don't want to say any more."

"Since it involves illegal and criminal activities, we, as federal government officials, cannot turn a blind eye or take it lightly."

"Acting within the bounds of federal law is D!"

"Go call Director Chen Lei of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and ask him to send someone to investigate."

"I only have the character '桐菜' (Tung Cai), meaning 'rule of law' and 'administration according to law'!"

Upon hearing Gong Zhenhui's words, Wen Zicheng was overjoyed.

He quickly replied, "I understand, Master Gong!"

"Then I won't bother you any longer. You should get some rest!"

Go!

That night, several police officers arrived at Lijingyuan in Gucong Village, Xingsheng District.

These people were all police officers from the city's public security bureau.

Shen Jingjing's account book, which was hidden in the vase, was found.

The officers conducting the investigation all changed their expressions after seeing the results.

He immediately took the account book and rushed back to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Meanwhile, Tu Yuan cultivated until 3 a.m. that night.

[Thirteenth Edition Body Tempering Method: 91/100 (Transformation into a Martial Artist)]

Tu Yuan felt the burgeoning desire for a breakthrough surging within his body.

Bright eyes.

"As expected! Once your cultivation progress reaches ninety percent, this feeling of wanting to break through the bottleneck will appear!"

"If we follow the Federation's ranking system, I'd already be considered a peak-level martial artist!"

"I will attempt a breakthrough within three days!"

After checking the progress, Tu Yuan went straight to take a shower and go to sleep.

the next morning.

Tu Yuan checked the intelligence as usual.

At 9:13 AM today, the Shengyun City Public Security Bureau contacted the Donghua Prefecture City Public Security Bureau, requesting their assistance in apprehending criminal suspect Shen Jing.

I saw this intelligence.

Tu Yuan was startled!

"Wen Zicheng made his move?!"

"Looks like I made the right choice in contacting him; he's genuinely unhappy with Shen Yongli!"

"Otherwise, Ding wouldn't have been able to move so quickly!"

"However, it's only Shen Jing who was arrested; it's unclear whether Shen Yongli has been implicated."

"Even if not, Shen Jing's arrest by the Public Security Bureau, as Shen Yongli's younger sister, will definitely have a very negative impact on Shen Yongli!"

"It even greatly influenced Shen Xin."

"And all I need to do is observe and wait for things to unfold."

Thinking of this, Tu Yuan suddenly felt a sense of anticipation, wondering what Shen Xin's expression would be after he learned about the dish.
