Chapter 689

Wang Zhiguo had never spoken to Liu Dahui in such a heavy tone before.

This was the first time since they had known each other.

And what he said was extremely heavy.

It was practically as if he wanted to peel a layer of skin off Liu Dahui.

Liu Dahui's face turned red and his ears burned; he felt utterly ashamed, and at the same time, a trace of embarrassment and annoyance.

Having the thoughts in that secret corner of his heart exposed so mercilessly by Wang Zhiguo, he was certainly not feeling comfortable.

Wang Zhiguo continued, unceremoniously: "Liu Dahui, the you of today has already lost the most basic principles in certain areas; you have no bottom line left to speak of.

Do you really not know how much this college entrance exam means to the candidates?

Do you really not know how much it means to our country?

Such a fair and just exam has been marred by stinking fish and rotten shrimp, causing the common people to question us.

Even if you didn't participate and were unaware, you are still a sinner!

Because those stinking fish and rotten shrimp did these things under your protection.

If it weren't for you, Liu Dahui, what is she, Zhou Shanshan?

How did she have the ability to get into the education sector, how was she promoted, and how could she possibly have had the opportunity to do such things?"

The more Wang Zhiguo spoke, the angrier and more severe he became.

Over there, Liu Dahui's hands trembled, his face ashen; he wanted to hang up the phone, but his last shred of reason controlled him to grit his teeth and not hang up.

"I know you don't want to hear these words from me now; back then, everything the three of us said to you, you treated as wind passing by your ears.

There is nothing wrong with liking someone, but besides liking someone, you also have to be a human being; you cannot lose the basic bottom line of being a person.

Those candidates who were replaced were basically without power or influence, relying solely on this exam to change their fate.

Yet these stinking fish and rotten shrimp have no humanity to speak of; for their own interests, to arrange jobs for their family members, for money... they really can do anything that is utterly devoid of conscience.

It is simply shameless to the extreme!

Do you have the nerve to come and ask me how to handle it now?

Liu Dahui, if you were an ordinary farmer, I might tell you some things you want to know right now.

But you are not!

I think you have been high and mighty for too long and really don't know what it's like to walk on the road; whatever you want to ask me, I won't tell you now.

If you still want to be a person, calm down and think about this matter properly from beginning to end."

After saying this, Wang Zhiguo, who was actually also feeling very uncomfortable, hung up the phone.

Because he knew that from this moment on, he could no longer walk the same path as Liu Dahui.

Liu Dahui only felt everything go black before his eyes; he stumbled to the sofa and slumped onto it. After a few breaths, he leaned back against the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.

Could he be calm?

He couldn't calm down, because as soon as he calmed down, many things became clear at a glance.

He was not a fool.

Where was there any need for analysis, and no need for others to remind or persuade him; in fact, he understood it all himself.

But what could he do?

If he said now that Zhou Shanshan was wrong, incorrect, a woman with corrupt moral character and no bottom line, a vicious woman who relied on his ability to bully others and almost harmed many young people.

When he said these things, it would prove that he was wrong, that he was wrong from beginning to end.

It would also prove that his parents, colleagues, and comrades-in-arms were all right to scold him.

Everything they said about Zhou Shanshan being bad was also correct.

He had originally wanted to use facts to prove that he was right, and also wanted to use facts to prove that his choice of Zhou Shanshan was not wrong.

But now, the iron-clad facts were laid out before him; Liu Dahui only felt his breathing become labored, and his heart ached with every tug.

So he was just a joke in the eyes of others now, right?

He was a man who had met with retribution.

It was the retribution for being a heartless and ungrateful wretch who abandoned his childhood sweetheart and fiancée.

It fulfilled the words his parents used to scold him; he was just a blind fool.

So what should he do now?

To prove he wasn't wrong, should he walk down this path until it turned dark?

The key was, could he continue down this path?

Zhou Shanshan's matter had caused a huge stir; he had known about it three days ago, but there was no evidence, and Zhou Shanshan was still acting fearless, so he thought it shouldn't be a big problem.

Now thinking about it... the problem was big, it was just that he hadn't dared to think about it in a serious direction at the time.

Or perhaps, just as Wang Zhiguo said, he should completely calm down and sober up, and rationally analyze the impact and consequences caused by Zhou Shanshan's matter.

Once he calmed down like this, he also realized that it was impossible for him to stay out of it.

Liu Dahui's expression changed; he grabbed the clothes beside him and walked quickly toward the door.

Being sought out by others and taking the initiative to confess were two completely different things.

Even if it was after work hours, he had to go out immediately.

He lived in the district government family compound.

Naturally, he lived in the best house here, and when he went out, he encountered his neighbors.

There weren't many colleagues, because almost all of them had tactfully hidden away.

After all, Zhou Shanshan was the wife of the deputy district head and one of the top-ranking women in this compound; how could anyone not know her?

Just a moment ago, Zhou Shanshan had been taken away by the public security bureau, and the entire compound was shocked.

One had to know that this was no small matter.

Some people were secretly happy, thinking Liu Dahui would definitely be implicated. Then his position might not be secure, and perhaps they would have a chance.

Those who had good relations were furious.

They didn't know what was wrong with Liu Dahui; how could he let Zhou Shanshan do such a thing?

The two were husband and wife, together every day; could it be that he hadn't noticed anything at all?

Moreover, Zhou Shanshan had accepted money; it was said she had already accepted over ten thousand.

Then, when Zhou Shanshan spent the money, didn't Liu Dahui notice?

And when Zhou Shanshan arranged jobs for her family, didn't Liu Dahui know either?

This person was furious, but also knew that they had no standing to blame Liu Dahui now; besides, it was only an investigation and no conclusion had been reached yet, so naturally, they couldn't ask these things.

But they didn't want to stand outside and watch the excitement, so they simply stayed in their rooms and didn't come out.

It was just that some of the old men, old women, big brothers, and big sisters who had seen Zhou Shanshan being taken away came out to watch the excitement and deliberately stood by the side of the road, looking in the direction of his house.

Then, seeing him come out, Secretary Sun's mother asked with great concern: "Little Liu, regarding that matter at the Education Bureau, did your Zhou Shanshan participate, or did you take her to understand the situation? Little Liu, this matter is no small matter; I heard it has been reported to the Beijing Education Committee. I think the higher-ups will definitely take it seriously. After all, this is the first exam, so you must take it to heart and treat it as a serious matter."

Beside her, an old man frowned and said: "Little Liu, don't be impulsive at this time; you must trust the leadership, you know?"

Don't look at him as just an ordinary old man; he was a retired old district head.

The two hadn't spoken for a long time.

Although Liu Dahui had only lived in this compound for a few years, his relationship with the retired old district head wasn't very good.

It wasn't that Liu Dahui didn't take the old district head seriously, but because the old district head didn't even bother to acknowledge Liu Dahui when he saw him.
