Chapter 2713: Dignity Is Already Gone

"Found it!" Old Wu came to the desk, picked up the cigarette on it and lit it: "The victim is Liu Yujuan. According to our investigation and visits, after the accident years ago, both her legs were hit by a car..."

Old Wu finished his cigarette, and reported the investigation results: "We were afraid of bringing danger to Liu Yujuan, so we didn't go see her directly."

"Your concern is correct." Yu Xiangjun also picked up a cigarette, lit it, and said thoughtfully: "We have to be cautious, after all, we're dealing with the Yin family. One misstep, and not only Liu Yujuan, but we ourselves will be in danger."

"Director Yu, what should we do next?" Dahuan said with a not-so-good expression: "Although we didn't go to Liu Yujuan's home to check the situation, just thinking about it tells us how hard her life must be."

"Especially seeing her lying on a homemade wooden cart, pushing herself forward bit by bit with her hands on the ground. Seeing her in the trash pile, picking through discarded rotten vegetable leaves, I really want to do something for her, but when I can't do anything, my feelings are hard to describe."

Old Wu sighed, patted Dahuan on the shoulder, but said nothing. Because he also didn't know what to say—the Yin family is such a colossal entity, their shoulders are too narrow; even if the Yin family stretched out a single finger, they could crush us. So we must endure, cannot be careless.

Yu Xiangjun placed the reviewed and selected case files into the safe: "You've been tired these few days, take half a day off to go home and rest. If there's anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Old Wu asked: "Should we interrogate Scarhead?"

"Old Qian has already gone to the detention center, probably coming back soon." Yu Xiangjun stepped toward the door: "You don't need to worry about interrogating Scarhead—go rest first. Tomorrow there might be something more important for you to handle."

Old Wu didn't ask what it was, and followed Yu Xiangjun out of the office with Dahuan: "Director Yu, we're heading back then."

"Go back!" Yu Xiangjun walked toward Huang Senwei's office.

At this moment, Huang Senwei stood by the window holding a teacup, brows slightly furrowed. Although Zhou Andong had agreed to their request to act against the Yin family, using Wang Jianfeng as the breakthrough point, this truly made him uneasy.

Especially since Zhou Andong also said he wanted to draw Wang Jianfeng into the trap, the pressure in his heart was immense. Now Wang Jianfeng has been nominated as Deputy Mayor of Jinmen—though it's an unconventional appointment, he is still a full ministerial-level official.

If their scheme fails and problems arise, given Zhou Andong's current status and position, naturally nothing will happen to him. But this little shrimp following him? He'll definitely be thrown into the pot to stew.

"Pa pa pa..."

Just as Huang Senwei was lost in thought, daydreaming, the office door was lightly knocked, pulling Huang Weiming's thoughts back.

"Come in!"

The office door was pushed open, and Yu Xiangjun walked in: "Director Huang, the victim has been found."

Huang Senwei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anxiety in his heart. Since we've come this far, worrying is useless—we can only grit our teeth and move forward. Because even if he regrets it now, Zhou Andong won't agree.

"Speak!"

Yu Xiangjun summarized the investigation: "What we need to do now is obtain Liu Yujuan's statement without alerting the suspect."

Huang Senwei raised his teacup and took a sip: "Have you ever thought about why Liu Yujuan didn't report the crime back then?"

Yu Xiangjun nodded: "If she had reported it then, she might not be alive today."

"Exactly!" Huang Senwei said softly: "But it also proves she doesn't trust us. Even if we go see her now, she'll likely find it hard to trust us."

Yu Xiangjun frowned: "Then what should we do?"

Huang Senwei slowly turned around, walked to his desk, and sat down: "Go see Zhou Andong. If he's willing to step forward, everything will be easily resolved."

Yu Xiangjun said with difficulty: "Going to him over such a small matter makes us look too incompetent."

Hearing Yu Xiangjun's words, Huang Senwei gave a bitter smile: "When we decided to seek his help, our dignity was already gone."

Yu Xiangjun stared for a moment, then sighed: "Actually, after Wu Min reported to me, my first thought was also Zhou Andong."

Huang Senwei paused, then said: "Since we've chosen to work with Zhou Andong, we shouldn't care about face or pride. As long as we can bring the criminals to justice, losing face is fine."

"I'm going to Jinwan Hotel now." Yu Xiangjun said and walked out: "I need to intercept him—if I'm late and can't catch him, it'll be troublesome."

………………

Jinwan Hotel!

The afternoon forum was just everyone speaking their minds. Lian Zhi seized the opportunity, sitting there boasting for over half an hour without stopping. Zhou Andong listened, growing drowsy, then stood up and left the venue.

"Brother, why did you come out?" Zhou Qianyi was at the door, because the forum's standards were very high, she feared any oversight, so whenever she had a moment, she came to check.

"I'm going to the restroom!" Zhou Andong didn't pause, continuing toward the washroom.

"Old Zhou!" Behind him, Liu Xiangchun shouted.

Zhou Andong stopped and turned around—not just Liu Xiangchun, but also Maxianli and Wang Maogun.

"Why are you guys out too?"

Liu Xiangchun, Maxianli, and Wang Maogun exchanged glances, then all laughed in unison.

"We're going to the restroom." Wang Maogun replied.

"Insincere!" Zhou Andong laughed, pointing at the three of them—this time all four laughed.

"Let's go!" Liu Xiangchun stopped laughing: "Let's go together."

Four people, only Maxianli was actually urinating; Zhou Andong just washed his face at the sink. As for Liu Xiangchun and Wang Maogun, they didn't even go in.

Zhou Andong came out, and Liu Xiangchun handed him a cigarette: "Listening to that Lian Zhi boast, I'm almost asleep."

Zhou Andong took the lighter, lit the cigarette: "The future is indeed the tech era—computers are an unavoidable hurdle. Lenovo is seizing the opportunity."

Liu Xiangchun asked curiously: "Old Zhou, you've recruited so many graduate students and researchers, even many national treasure-level experts—what exactly are you researching?"

"DVD!" Zhou Andong said calmly: "The technical standards of DVD—this concerns whether we can secure a place in the international high-tech arena, so I must give it my all, cannot slack off. Naturally, we recruit as many as we can."

Liu Xiangchun didn't really believe it, but since Zhou Andong said so, he just went along with it.

Several people were chatting idly, east and west, when they saw a middle-aged man in police uniform walk over.

Zhou Andong sighed: "I hid in the restroom, and you still managed to find me."
