Chapter 46 Inquiry and Seal
Chapter 46 Inquiries and Rhetoric
After driving the car into the staff dormitory of a nearby school, Zhao Bingsheng handed over a bottle of mineral water.
Xu Mingyuan did not refuse. He unscrewed the bottle cap and gulped down two mouthfuls.
The mineral water stored at room temperature in winter was icy cold. The moment it drank the water, it calmed down the headache. It took Xu Mingyuan a while to come back to his senses after a shiver.
Zhao Bingsheng got out of the driver's seat, opened the back door and let Xu Mingyuan sit closer to the inside, and then they sat side by side.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Xu Mingyuan spoke first.
"My last name is Zhao, Zhao Bingsheng."
"Hello, Brother Zhao." Xu Mingyuan said.
Zhao Bingsheng briefly introduced himself and explained his purpose. Xu Mingyuan just nodded, indicating that he would tell him everything he knew.
"Do you know why I came to see you?"
Zhao Bingsheng looked at Xu Mingyuan, lowered his head, opened his notebook, and prepared to take notes.
"I know a little bit." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"Yes." Zhao Bingsheng nodded, "Have you read the document?"
"I've seen it..." Xu Mingyuan suddenly realized and quickly explained, "I haven't seen it."
"Haha, whether you have seen it or not, just don't tell anyone about it." Zhao Bingsheng said with a smile.
"That's good. I promise I haven't told anyone about this."
Xu Mingyuan raised his hand as if swearing.
"Where did you get that file bag?" Zhao Bingsheng asked.
"Someone gave it to me."
"who?"
"Who is it? Let me think..." Xu Mingyuan pondered for a moment before saying, "It was quite late at night, and a man wearing a hat was waiting for me on my way home. It wasn't snowing yet, but it was windy. I thought someone was trying to rob me."
"No need to make it so complicated. Do you remember what he looks like? His height, his clothes. Think about these carefully."
Zhao Bingsheng interrupted Xu Mingyuan's useless conversation and got straight to the point.
Duan Jianhe guessed that this was probably done by someone who disliked Chen Xiangshun, most likely an internal staff member, so it would be best to resolve it internally.
"I don't remember much, but I remember that he was wearing a black baseball cap. He was probably a middle-aged man, with a square face and small eyes. I couldn't tell if he was forty or fifty, but he was definitely no more than sixty. He was shorter than me, probably a little over 1.7 meters tall. And what else? Um... not too thin, but not fat either, just a little belly..."
Xu Mingyuan talked about a lot of random things.
Zhao Bingsheng frowned, but still wrote down almost exactly what Xu Mingyuan said.
Xu Mingyuan's description is too general. If you pick up ten middle-aged men on the street, at least three or four of them will fit his description.
"Do you remember anything else? Like scars, tattoos, or something like that."
"He's wearing a cotton jacket, so even if there is one I can't see it, right? Anyway, I don't see any tattoos on his face."
"Ah."
Zhao Bingsheng nodded and wrote down everything he needed to remember.
Since the other party has done such a thorough job, I think even if they find the person Xu Mingyuan mentioned, they may continue to look for him behind the scenes.
"Do you know why he came to you?"
"I know a little bit."
"What do you know?"
"I have a grudge against Chen Xiangli's son, and he must know that, so he stopped me and said that my sister has a classmate named Duan Shihan, and that giving the file bag to her father would solve the problem."
"Hmm? What grudge?"
Zhao Bingsheng became interested.
Xu Mingyuan explained the whole story without making up too much, just embellishing it a little.
"Later, he hired someone to hit me on the back of my head, and I stayed in the hospital for half a month. My girlfriend Lin Jing was also hit by someone he hired, and now she has gone to school in another city. To be honest, I wish he was dead."
Xu Mingyuan's breathing became rapid, and Zhao Bingsheng had already noticed that his body was trembling slightly, and he couldn't tell whether it was out of anger or fear.
"What do you want to do? Calm down."
Zhao Bingsheng frowned.
This bit of momentum was useless in front of Xu Mingyuan, but he still showed signs of gradually calming down.
Seeing that he had successfully shifted the topic to his side, Xu Mingyuan explained, "I have thought it through now. I still have a younger sister to take care of, and my father got into trouble because of my medical expenses. I will take the college entrance examination soon, so there is no need to gamble my life." Seeing Xu Mingyuan's sincere attitude, Zhao Bingsheng nodded and said, "Well, no matter what you do, you can't commit a crime. Why didn't you call the police at the time?"
Hearing this, Xu Mingyuan looked at him doubtfully: "He is Chen Xiangli's son, do you think it will be useful?"
"As long as there is evidence, the law will not favor anyone."
Zhao Bingsheng also understood what Xu Mingyuan meant. The Chen family had been deeply rooted in Nanxi City for more than 20 years, and ordinary students really had no way to deal with them.
I was thinking about the truthfulness of Xu Mingyuan's words. If it was true, should someone be assigned to do it?
"Oh, someone is here to check on Chen Xiangshun."
Seeing that he was in deep thought, Xu Mingyuan suddenly said this.
"Hmm...Hmm? Don't make blind guesses as a student like you."
Zhao Bingsheng glanced at him in thought, but didn't care.
"Okay, I won't say it anymore."
Zhao Bingsheng still needs to hone his aura, as it is of no use in front of Xu Mingyuan, but he still showed the sincerity that a student should have.
But Zhao Bingsheng didn't notice that Xu Mingyuan's slightly raised mouth corners quickly retracted.
He finally got the information he wanted. He had no channels to learn about these things, so he was waiting for this call, but he didn't expect to have to wait for half a month.
"Someone will investigate the situation you described. If you have evidence, you can call me."
Zhao Bingsheng also knew that this questioning would definitely not yield any results, so he put away his notebook.
"Okay, I won't bother Brother Zhao anymore."
"Well, do you want me to take you there?"
"No, it's not far from here. I can walk there in a few steps."
The two opened the car door and went their separate ways.
Seeing Xu Mingyuan running towards the Internet cafe, Zhao Bingsheng shook his head.
After encountering such a misfortune, he still had the mind to play games online. It seems that this kid will have no future.
Xu Mingyuan looked back at Kaiyuan's car and laughed.
The curtain will eventually be raised, and it will depend on who can grab the most sumptuous piece of meat at the table.
It's the end of the year and every company should settle its final payment.
At this critical time, it is unknown how much money Xiangli Group has to fill this hole.
But one thing is certain: the opponents will definitely not sit idly by. The entrepreneurs who have emerged from the reform and opening up will not be as merciful as Xu Mingyuan.
Xu Mingyuan was in a good mood. He ran to the Internet cafe, took a bite of the cold egg pancake, chewed it, and swallowed it.
"Li Cheng, stop killing monsters. What era is it now? Are you still killing legendaries? Hurry up and build a house."
"Wait, I'll be done soon... Damn, Weizi turned off my phone again!"
"Is there anyone playing Sand City 2 in the internet cafe? Let's start!"
Xu Mingyuan called a few classmates and also invited some strangers in the Internet cafe to play games together.
In a good mood, he ordered two drinks and asked everyone he knew or didn't know, as long as they were playing together, to come and get some water.
Even though Xu Mingyuan hasn't played Internet games for a long time, he is much better than those high school students who only come to the Internet cafe a few times a week.
Although we are not as good as the old hands who stay in the Internet cafe all day, everyone tacitly formed a new team after playing a few games. The game was quite fun with each team going back and forth.
After having dinner together in the evening, Xu Mingyuan returned home leisurely.
I didn't use the phone, I just opened the chat window of Li Yunfeng on QQ.
xmy: Have someone send it to the address I sent you tomorrow by express. One letter will be sent to each address every other day. Five letters will be enough.
Drop drop drop.
Not long after, the dialog box lit up.
Li Yunfeng: Okay, then I’ll change the place every time I post.
xmy: There is no need to go through so much trouble. No one will specifically check this thing. Just don’t involve the lightning software.
Xu Mingyuan gave a few more instructions and then turned off the computer and went offline.
The next step is to muddy the waters so that everyone can fish according to their own abilities.
