love of life

Chapter 31 Chapter 31

For the past two days, Gu Ming's mind was all about finding Lin Zexi, and when he thought of the injuries on his body, he couldn't calm down.He scratched his head and glanced at his phone. At nine o'clock in the morning, he hadn't had breakfast yet.His stomach suddenly churned, churning like a drum washing machine, and he remembered the omelette made by Lin Zexi.It was because of that breakfast that the two of them had the following intersections.He happened to pass by a breakfast shop serving egg-filled pancakes. The name of egg-filled pancakes gave him an appetite.He asked for a pancake and ate it while walking aimlessly on the street.Suddenly the phone rang.

Regardless of his oily hands, he reached into his trouser pocket and took out his mobile phone, it turned out to be Tian Yingzhi.He frowned and answered the phone.

"Hello, Gu Ming? You called me in the middle of the night last night. What happened? Did something happen to Zexi?" Tian Yingzhi asked anxiously.

"I haven't contacted him for several days. I'm a little worried, so I want to find someone to ask if he has any acquaintances."

"He... I don't know if he has told you about his past. This child is very poor. He has no relatives and no friends. I met him by chance last year and saw that he was really bad. I want your dad to arrange a job for him." Gu Ming heard Tian Yingzhi talking about this, and felt his emotional ups and downs through the phone.

"That... when did you meet him?" Gu Ming asked.

"When I met him, he was just a freshman. I was his head teacher, and I had a good impression of him. Later, he dropped out of school due to some accidents, and we lost contact. We didn't meet by chance until last year. At that time, our foundation The company wanted to move the office building, so he found a moving company, and he worked for that company. At that time, he was weak, and his complexion was not good. He helped people move things, received money by piece, and the living environment was very poor. I recognized him at a glance. I got out of him and wanted him to help me work, but he always refused, saying that his resume was not good-looking, and he was afraid that it would have a bad impact on the fund. I only found your father later, and you just drove away your father and arranged to pick him up. Your fifth driver, he arranged for him to follow you. I didn't have any hope because you... because you went to the same college he used to go to, I thought he I will try my best to avoid it, but I didn’t expect him to agree. In order to let him be mentally prepared in advance, I also specially described the difficulty of this job. I didn’t expect him to take your photo and readily agreed. The two of you unexpectedly appeared Unexpectedly, it fits well." In the end, Tian Yingzhi felt relieved.

"You really didn't expect that?" Gu Ming asked coldly.

Tian Yingzhi was taken aback by Gu Ming's tone. He originally thought that the barrier between the two had been gradually eliminated. "What?"

"You know Wang Yijie too, right? Do you also think that I look like Wang Yijie? At first you thought he would not agree to the job, not only because my school would bring back his sad memories, but because my face would Make him feel bad. When you said we got along well, did you also think that it was because my face resembled that man that he stayed?" Gu Ming gradually lost control of his emotions as he spoke, with a manic tone stand up.

"You... know Wang Yijie? Then you also know his years..." Tian Yingzhi asked tentatively.

"That's right, I know all about it, only recently."

"Gu Ming, it's not his fault. Although he didn't tell me anything, based on what I know about him, he wouldn't do that kind of thing."

"As his class teacher, why didn't you help him at that time?"

"I... have worked hard, really, Gu Ming, I like being a teacher, I like it from the bottom of my heart. Although I can help more people by doing charity now, I have lost the achievement of teaching and educating people Why do you think I left school? Because your dad’s money made life easier for me? If that’s the case, why didn’t I quit the moment I moved into your house? Six years ago? Because I I believed Lin Zexi’s innocence, so I was accused of covering up and conniving the students to commit murder. At that time, the school leaders came to me and said that the impact of this case was very bad. I also publicly supported the defendant, which made the school very passive. The school will announce the reopening in three days. Except, I hope that I can resign voluntarily to minimize the impact. At that time, I was very disappointed, disappointed with the school and the whole society, and felt powerless. After I was forced to resign, your father encouraged me to set up a foundation to help More helpless people."

"Didn't my dad help you when you resigned? As far as I know, he donates a lot of money to the school every year."

"China has always been based on officials. Which entrepreneur dares to fight against the officials? The Xu family has not been powerful here for three or two years. What can he do? In fact, the school had warned me several times in advance at that time, and I just didn't give up. , They had no choice but to force me to resign. There was nothing they could do, it was all caused by this society." Tian Yingzhi's words were full of inextricable helplessness.

Gu Ming was silent, he completely changed his view of Tian Yingzhi.It was the first time for the two to have such an in-depth conversation, and Gu Ming, who was really truthful, felt a little embarrassed. "It's because of the power of the Xu family that I'm worried. In fact, Lin Zexi had been beaten several times before he disappeared. I always suspected that Xu Zhengwen found someone to do it. Maybe his disappearance is also related to him. Think about it Is there any way to find Lin Zexi?"

"You mean that Xu Zhengwen and Lin Zexi have had an affair recently? Then don't worry, Lin Zexi is not in Xu Zhengwen's hands, so he should not be in danger."

"Why are you so sure?" Tian Yingzhi's tone was firm and Gu Ming was suspicious.

"You don't know, Xu Zhengwen has been secretly investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. It is said that it has been double-guided for more than ten days. If Lin Zexi disappeared after that, it is very likely that he was taken by the Commission for Discipline Inspection to assist in the investigation."

"Discipline inspection committee? How did you investigate for so many days?" Gu Ming was dubious.

"The Commission for Discipline Inspection must have discovered something about Lin Zexi's case. It is said that Xu Zhengwen has been secretly observing Xu Zhengwen for several years. It is not surprising that something happened at this time."

"Then... can I go see him now?"

"I can see you if you are taken away by the police, but there is nothing you can do if you are taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. You can only wait and come back after asking."

Gu Ming was silent on the phone for a while, and Tian Yingzhi continued: "Come back and sit down when you have time. Your father is only your son. He is also old and misses you a lot."

In normal times, Gu Ming would have gone back angrily, but today he was silent for a while and hung up the phone.

The Commission for Discipline Inspection, at this time, an institution that he had no contact with at all, only appeared in political textbooks.He always thought they were living in a distant conference room, but he didn't expect to appear beside him and help him solve the most difficult problems.Is he a bit too lucky?

Gu Ming's phone rang again, and it was from Liu Xin.

"Master Gu, you have no idea where Lin Zexi is right now. Let me tell you, this news is so explosive. I'll be the first to tell you about the headlines. Isn't that interesting?" Liu Xin couldn't hide his excitement Emotions, pitches were an octave higher than usual.

"He was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection." Gu Ming said calmly.

"What?" Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "How do you know? I'll go, then my money—you know it, forget it, I will sell this news quickly, and I will definitely make a lot of money. "Liu Xin's loss lasted for just a second, and then he immediately discovered a new business opportunity.With such an important figure down, some families are happy and some are sad, those who are ready to run away, those who are ready to be promoted, and those who are ready to stand in line again, it's time to get active.

"I'll give you the money as usual, and you tell me his exact location."

"The bases of the Commission for Discipline Inspection are all open secrets. This information is not worth that much money, not to mention that you are a regular customer, so you can't be so unkind. If you really want to know, I will charge you 5000. I will check it in these two days. Everything that arrives will be given to you.”

"Okay, tell me where he is first, and I'll transfer the money to you after I hang up the phone."

"It's in the clean government education base newly built by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, next to the ecological park in the eastern suburbs, you can find it with navigation, and I will send the location to your mobile phone later." Liu Xin just hung up the phone after Gu Ming finished speaking, faster than him. People who want to sell information have to worry.

Gu Ming opened Baidu Maps, entered the Integrity Education Base, and the address popped up. The distance is 20 kilometers, and it took 40 minutes to drive there.Without hesitation, Gu Ming took the car keys and drove towards the destination.He himself didn't know where to go and what to do, he knew he couldn't get in, and it was impossible to understand the situation inside, but he just wanted to go there and get closer to him.

An hour later, Gu Ming arrived. He parked his car in the parking lot at the side entrance of the ecological park opposite, and looked towards the entrance of the base across a two-way four-lane road.An armed police box was set up at the gate of the base, and a young armed policeman stood guard there.Next to the sentry box, there are a few large red characters - Integrity Education Base.The car gate at the gate was tightly closed, and the surrounding walls were more than two meters high, and the electric grid was pulled on it.Looking in through the car gate, there is a two-way, two-lane road that zigzags inward, and disappears into the dense bushes on both sides of the road after tens of meters.In the distance, a small off-white high-rise building protrudes from the highest point of the tree canopy. The color of the building is as tense as the surrounding scenery.

After Gu Ming parked the car, he kept looking towards the gate. Two hours passed, only two black cars with official vehicles sprayed on their bodies drove out, and there was no other movement.

Lin Zexi, who was sitting alone in the conversation room, felt physically and mentally exhausted.That day, he sneaked away while Gu Ming was busy in the kitchen, and originally planned to apply to Team Liu to go out and then take the train to the next city to escape.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the community, he was blocked by three strong men in casual clothes.His heart sank at the time, thinking that Xu Zhengwen sent someone to trouble him. He subconsciously wanted to escape, but was surrounded by three people. One of them took out a red-headed document and said to him: "Hello, we are the Commission for Discipline Inspection." Yes, I would like to ask you to come with us." Lin Zexi didn't know how he got involved with the Commission for Discipline Inspection, so he was forced into the car by three and a half people and came to this base in the suburbs.Then he was brought into the conversation and began seven or eight hours of questioning.Only then did he know that Xu Zhengwen was under shuanggui, and these people came to ask him about the case back then.Generally speaking, these people's attitudes are quite polite, but they just keep asking him to recall and repeatedly describe the details of the case.Six years have passed, and he has no clear impression of many things for a long time, but they still ask him to keep recalling them, and then ask him questions from various angles and aspects. This group of people asks and changes, and they are all similar questions , made him exhausted.He didn't know how long he stayed there, but he vaguely remembered that he was arranged to sleep in the hotel room next to him a dozen times. Based on three meals a day, he probably stayed there for eleven or twelve days.

Lin Zexi sat alone in the conversation room, looking a little dazed.At this time, a familiar young man walked in with a cup of tea and a stack of materials.He put the tea in front of him, sat down on the chair opposite him, and spread out the notebook in front of him.

"I've told you everything I remember, and you've asked me countless times, and my mind has started to get confused." Lin Zexi complained with a tired face.

"Comrade Lin Zexi, thank you for your cooperation in the past few days. These are the manuscripts compiled based on your dictation in the past few days. Please take a look. If there is no problem, please sign on each page for confirmation. After the end, you will You can leave." The young man said politely.

When Lin Zexi heard the word "Leave", she immediately regained her energy.He picked up the document on the table and looked at the ten lines at a glance, and signed his name on it.He didn't care whether there were any problems with the materials, and he couldn't even remember what he said when he was extremely nervous and exhausted.But he's telling the truth, so he doesn't have to worry about logic or inconsistencies.He just wants to get out of this place now, he desperately needs sunshine and fresh air.The inquiries these days reminded him of his time in prison, and he really felt that his spirit was about to collapse.

"I'm done signing." Lin Zexi put the pen on the table and said bluntly.

"Okay, I'll take you out now." The young man took him down the elevator to the first floor, and retrieved his cell phone from the front desk and handed it to him. "In addition, please keep your phone open at all times recently. If we have any questions, please cooperate with our work. Also, please don't leave this city recently. We will officially inform you when the case is over. You can go now. There are buses leading to the city at the gate, every half an hour."

"Okay." Lin Zexi replied blankly, he didn't even bother to turn on the phone, so he stuffed it in his pocket and walked towards the door.After walking out of the building, the bright sunlight made him unable to open his eyes.The sun was just above his head at this moment, and he also felt a little hungry, and it happened to be lunch time.He quickened his pace and walked towards the gate. When he passed the sentry box, he was nervous for fear of being stopped.The person in the duty room took the initiative to help him open the iron gate for pedestrians. He nodded slightly and walked out of the gate quickly.Hearing the sound of the iron gate closing behind him, his heart relaxed. He stood on the sidewalk and took a few deep breaths of air. He smelled the smell of freedom, and suddenly felt relieved.

He looked up and looked around for the bus stop sign, when suddenly a black car drove towards him and stopped in front of him.

"Master, do you want to go to Changgang Road?" Lin Zexi put his palm on his forehead to block the scorching sun, and asked through the rolled down car window.

At this time, I only heard a familiar voice saying: "No, this car is only going to Muyun Community."
