#69 - Chapter 69: Killing and Heartbreaking
“I have no objection.” Mei Wenhua instantly appeared older, lowering his head and replying softly.
“Good! Take him away.” Team Leader Pang ordered the police standing on both sides.
The temporary headquarters of the resettlement center was an emergency response team composed of multiple departments, including public security, administration, justice, health, and civil affairs.
The purpose of this was to streamline processes and improve mobility.
Combined with the new 《Special Period National Emergency Management Plan》 temporary regulations issued by the council after the virus outbreak, each resettlement center could have extremely high law enforcement power while complying with relevant regulations.
For some extremely harmful situations, especially those that endanger national security, leak state secrets, threaten the safety of others' lives, or disrupt social order, the temporary headquarters has the right to deprive them of the right to judicial proceedings if the evidence is conclusive.
Without trial or conviction, direct execution by firing squad is permitted.
As Mei Wenhua was being led out of the office, he faced Dongfang Chen, who was standing behind.
Dongfang Chen spoke:
“Mei Wenhua, let me tell you one more thing before you die.
Actually, I haven't caught those three enforcers yet.” Dongfang Chen said with a smile.
He was truly malicious, not only killing but also crushing his spirit.
“What? You dare to trick me, you brat!”
Mei Wenhua's arms were pinned back by two policemen, his hands handcuffed behind him.
Although he was angry, he couldn't struggle.
“What trickery?
I'm just giving you a free lesson.
Remember not to trust anyone in your next life.” Dongfang Chen laughed.
“Good! Good! Good!
I never thought that Mei Wenhua, who was wise all his life, would capsize in a gutter.
Hahaha!” Mei Wenhua shouted as he was taken away.
Soon after, a gunshot rang out, and Mei Wenhua died.
“This young brother, your name is Niu Xingwang, right?
You are young, but your skills are not small.
Mei Wenhua is no ordinary person, yet he fell into your hands.
But young man, you still need to understand how to walk the right path.” Team Leader Pang advised, as if speaking from the perspective of an elder.
“Thank you for your concern, Team Leader Pang.
It's already very late, so I'll go back first if there's nothing else.” Dongfang Chen said.
“Alright!” Team Leader Pang nodded, watching him respond, as if he was thinking about something.
Walking out of the command post, Shen Wengang and Luo Er were already waiting in a corner not far away.
“Brother Dongfang, you are so amazing!
You fooled Mei Wenhua so thoroughly.” Luo Er said, going up to Dongfang Chen as he came out.
Shen Wengang had already told Luo Er about the scene that had just happened, and Luo Er's eyes widened.
Dongfang Chen, posing as Niu Xingwang, had actually tricked Mei Wenhua to death.
He probably wouldn't know who really tricked him even in death.
“Boss, I still don't understand.
How did you know that the Red Clothes Sect was related to Mei Wenhua?” Shen Wengang asked.
“I don't know!” Dongfang Chen said.
“Ah? Then what you just did…?” Shen Wengang was very surprised.
“I just bluffed him.
If he admitted it, then there was a connection.
If he didn't admit it, then there wasn't.
It's that simple.” Dongfang Chen said as he walked.
“Amazing!” Shen Wengang exclaimed.
With his straightforward personality, he really couldn't have come up with such a cunning trick, no, such a clever trick.
The three of them had only taken a few steps when they were stopped by a woman.
“What are you doing?” Shen Wengang quickly stepped in front of her when he saw her.
The young woman had obviously cried.
Seeing Shen Wengang blocking her way, she stopped and bowed deeply.
Shen Wengang was at a loss and looked back at Dongfang Chen.
Dongfang Chen nodded, signaling him to stand aside.
“Madam, what is this…?” Dongfang Chen stepped forward and asked curiously.
Rong Qingyi had also seen him, she was Mei Wenhua's secretary.
When he first arrived at Mei Wenhua's place, he even ordered her to make tea.
“What you don't know is that Mei Wenhua is actually my enemy.” Rong Qingyi said.
“Oh? What's going on?” Dongfang Chen asked.
“I have a younger sister named Gu Qingyue…” Thereupon, Rong Qingyi told them about a past event of her own.
It turned out that Rong Qingyi's real name was Gu Qingyi, and she had a younger sister named Gu Qingyue.
Mei Wenhua's son, Mei Xiangnan, met her sister, who had just graduated from college, by chance and began to pester her.
During a dinner, Mei Xiangnan drugged Gu Qingyue's water and raped her while she was unconscious, and he also took a video.
After waking up, Gu Qingyue had a mental breakdown and attempted suicide several times, but was stopped by her family.
Her parents were outraged and went to reason with Mei Xiangnan, but to no avail.
Both parents fell ill and never recovered.
A few months later, Gu Qingyue received a message from Mei Xiangnan, which was the video he had recorded earlier.
He demanded to meet her, otherwise he would post the video online.
Gu Qingyue couldn't bear the torment any longer and jumped from the building, ending her life at the young age of 23.
Soon after, her parents also passed away in grief.
Suddenly, a good family was left with only her.
After taking care of her family's affairs, Gu Qingyi changed her name to Rong Qingyi and applied for a job at Mei Wenhua's company.
