Redemption from the Abyss: The School Beauty Insists on Pulling Me Out of the Mire

"Bang!"

Director Gao strode in with two provincial discipline inspection officers.

He took three steps at a time and walked directly to Xie Wang.

"Click".

Director Gao personally brought the key and unlocked the silver bracelet on Xie Wang's wrist.

"Xie, you've been frightened!" Director Gao grabbed Xie Wang's hand, his tone as gentle and kind as a spring breeze.

"It's our provincial department's inadequate supervision that caused you such great injustice. We will absolutely not tolerate this!"

"Director Gao, you're too kind." Xie Wang rubbed his wrist, stood up, his expression remaining as steady as ever, and even gave a five-star review.

"I wasn't wronged. This interrogation chair is quite ergonomic and comfortable to sit in."

Director Gao's lips twitched, thinking to himself that this little brat really had a big heart.

After comforting Xie Wang, Director Gao turned around.

When his gaze swept towards Zhang Jianguo.

"Zhang Jianguo! You have some nerve!"

Director Gao pointed at Zhang Jianguo's nose, spitting almost onto his face:

"Without any solid evidence and bypassing all normal procedures, they dared to forcibly detain a high school student who was preparing for exams! This matter has alarmed the highest levels of government in Beijing. Your good days are over!"

Zhang Jianguo's face turned ashen.

"Men, strip him of his police uniform!"

Director Gao waved his hand, and the discipline inspection officers behind him immediately pounced on him like wolves.

"Go inside and reflect on your actions. Tell me clearly in detail who instructed you to arrest people indiscriminately."

……

When Xie Wang followed Director Gao out of the branch office lobby, the sunlight outside was blinding.

"You scoundrel!!!"

Lu Wen gave him a tight bear hug. "I thought I'd only be able to bring you '53' (a popular Chinese study guide) and prison food at the police station from now on."

Xie Wang pushed Lu Wen's flamboyant head away with a look of disgust.

Then he turned his head and looked at Su Qinghe, who was standing to the side.

Although the girl's eyes still held a trace of lingering tension, seeing him walk out unharmed finally eased her tense shoulders.

Xie Wang stepped forward, pulled Su Qinghe into his arms, and gave him a gentle hug.

It was during this tender moment that the air was thick with a sour, pungent smell.

A microphone, oblivious to everything, was poked under Xie Wang's chin.

"Hello, Xie! I'm Ye Wei, a reporter from Jiangcheng News!"

With the fearlessness of a newborn calf, Ye Wei's eyes shone brightly as she loudly asked the camera:

"As an innocent high school student who has just been falsely accused, what would you like to say to the netizens?"

Xie Wang glanced at the camera shoved in his face, his expression instantly switching to that of an innocent high school senior:

"I'm just an ordinary senior high school student. My biggest worry every day is memorizing vocabulary words."

"I hope that the bosses of certain large corporations will stop using the 'hundreds of billions' label to increase my extracurricular burden. Instead of wasting time making up stories, they should donate more money to mountainous areas."

After saying that, he waved to the camera and said, "That's enough, I have to go back to school to eat in the cafeteria."

……

at the same time.

Gu Nan had just attended the launch ceremony of a 10 billion yuan project two days ago.

This is the time when we are full of vigor and high spirits.

"Mr. Gu..." The secretary entered the room.

"Something's happened! Director Zhang's side has fallen. People from the provincial department parachuted in and released Xie Wang. Zhang Jianguo was taken away on the spot by the Discipline Inspection Commission!"

Gu Nan frowned slightly, and his hand holding the wine glass paused for a moment.

But there was little panic on his face; he even gave a contemptuous sneer.

"What's the panic? So what if he's caught? I still have the video of his son doing drugs and speeding. Even if Zhang Jianguo had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to implicate me after he goes to jail."

"No, Mr. Gu... the point isn't Zhang Jianguo..."

The secretary handed over a tablet computer with both hands.

"See for yourself!"

On the screen was footage of Ye Wei shoving the microphone right in Xie Wang's face during an interview.

At first, Gu Nan just thought that the high school student on the screen, wearing a school uniform and spouting nonsense, was really annoying and deserved a beating.

But as the camera inadvertently panned, Gu Nan glanced at the backdrop behind Xie Wang.

What did he see?

...That provincial department director, Gao, who even his own father, Gu Tianlong, had to make an appointment half a month in advance to see him.

He was standing next to the high school student with a kind expression on his face!

"Gu Tianlong, oh Gu Tianlong..." Gu Nan's pride and self-restraint vanished completely.

He stared at the screen through gritted teeth, then suddenly broke down completely, pointing at the ceiling and cursing his own father, who was far away at headquarters:

"Gu Tianlong, you son of a bitch..."

……

the other side.

At the entrance of the police station, Xie Wang and Su Qinghe said goodbye to Lu Wen.

"Wangzi, call me anytime if you need anything!" Lu Wen returned to the company.

Xie Wang and Su Qinghe got into the back seat of the black Maybach.

Xie Wang took out his phone, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Kang Ping:

[X: Uncle Kang, thanks. I give Apocalypse's after-sales service a five-star rating.]

[Kang Ping: You brat, you made me miss drinking the Da Hong Pao tea I just brewed! Go study for your college entrance exam!]

Xie Wang chuckled softly and put his phone away.

Then he turned his head and looked at Su Qinghe, who was replying to messages on his phone.

"Teacher Su," Xie Wang said in a low voice.

"Please thank Auntie for me."

Su Qinghe pushed up his glasses, looked at the receding scenery outside the window, and said, trying to appear calm:

"My mother said that as the future... important business partner of the Su family, we can't let outsiders bully us. This is to protect the reputation of Su Capital, so don't be too touched."

Xie Wang looked at her slightly flushed profile, and a smile was almost impossible to suppress:

"Oh, just a business partner? I thought Auntie was feeling sorry for her future son-in-law."

"Xie Wang! If you keep talking nonsense, not only will there be no chicken legs for lunch, I'll throw away all the ribs too!"

……

12:15 PM.

It was the time when the canteen of Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School was bustling with activity.

Xie Wang and Su Qinghe walked into the cafeteria side by side.

Pushing through the crowded throng, Xie Wang immediately spotted four people sitting in prime window seats.

Lin Lu, Xu You, Shen Hao, Lu Yi.

The four guys were already sitting in a neat row.

On the opposite side of the table were two clean stainless steel plates.

The plate was filled with not only white rice, but also a plate of bright red and tempting sweet and sour pork ribs, and an extremely large fried chicken leg.

"Brother Wang! God Su! Over here!"

Shen Hao stood up and waved, "Come and eat! I risked my life to snatch the last serving of ribs from Auntie's hands!"

Lu Yi added quietly:

"As the ancients said, those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune. This piece of pork rib is your blessing."

Xie Wang and Su Qinghe exchanged a glance, a relaxed smile appearing in their eyes.

They walked over, pulled out chairs, and sat down amidst the chatter of their friends.

The warm winter sun outside the window shone through the glass and onto the plates, giving them a glossy sheen.

Xie Wang picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, stuffed it into his mouth, and sighed contentedly.

Forget about Tianlong Group, the food in the cafeteria is still the best.
