Chapter 493 So This Is Your Secret
When the dean heard Qi Tongwei's words, his eyes began to wander.
He was in an extreme struggle. On the one hand, he knew that the crime he committed was unforgivable; on the other hand, he was unwilling to confess everything so easily.
Qi Tongwei gradually approached the dean, and every step seemed to be stepping on the dean's heart.
Qi Tongwei said: "I advise you to speak out now. The more you speak, the better it will be for your outcome. You have to think it through." His words carried an unquestionable power, as if he was throwing the dean the last straw.
The dean smiled bitterly, a smile full of despair and self-mockery.
He said, "I already know my ending. No matter what, it's death. There's no way you're going to let me, a man with blood on my hands, live." There was a kind of determination in his voice.
He suddenly looked at Qi Tongwei with a firm expression, and there was even a hint of provocation in his eyes: "Even if I don't say it, so what? Can you still pry open my mouth?"
Although his body was still trembling slightly, his stubbornness and resistance remained unchanged.
He was like a trapped beast forced into a desperate situation. Even though he knew he had no chance of winning, he still made a final struggle.
Qi Tongwei felt even angrier when he saw the dean's rebellious look.
He knew that the dean had been blinded by his own sins and distorted ideas and was still trying to resist.
Qi Tongwei said coldly: "Do you think you can escape punishment if you don't say it? You are too naive.
We already have a lot of clues, and we can bring you to justice even without your confession.
However, if you cooperate with the investigation now and confess your crime voluntarily, the judge in court may consider your attitude and give you a lighter sentence.
Don't be stubborn."
After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, a hint of hesitation flashed across the dean's face, but it was quickly replaced by stubbornness.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Humph, a lenient sentence? I don't believe it.
How could you people let someone like me go?
I know what I'm doing, and I won't harbor any more illusions."
Qi Tongwei said: "That makes sense. Then I'll ask your daughter to come over."
His voice was as calm as a bottomless lake, but it made the dean feel as if a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Then Qi Tongwei walked towards the door slowly. His steps seemed ordinary, but every step seemed to step on the dean's heartstrings, filling him with fear.
The dean froze and was unable to move for a moment.
His eyes were wide open, filled with horror and disbelief.
The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but it seemed as if something was stuck in his throat. After a long while, he squeezed out a few words: "Daughter? What daughter? What are you talking about?"
His voice was obviously trembling, and he tried to hide his inner panic by pretending to be stupid.
Qi Tongwei looked at him with a sharp look that seemed to see through everything.
He stopped, turned around and looked at the dean, and said slowly: "Your three-year-old illegitimate daughter was just sent to kindergarten this year. Have you forgotten?"
Every word Qi Tongwei said was like a bombshell, exploding in the dean's ears.
The dean's face turned pale in an instant.
He never imagined that Qi Tongwei even knew his deeply hidden secret.
This illegitimate daughter is a secret that he has always carefully guarded, and it is the thing he least wants to be mentioned in this world.
He originally thought that he had done a perfect job and had placed the child and her mother in a good place, and no one would discover the secret.
The image of that lovely little girl instantly appeared in his mind, her innocent smile, and her childish "Dad".
His heart ached. He knew that if Qi Tongwei really involved this child, he would be in an irretrievable situation.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were full of despair and helplessness.
Qi Tongwei watched the dean's reaction quietly. He knew that he had successfully hit the dean's sore spot.
He wanted to use this method to let the dean understand that he now had nothing to hide. If he still wanted to protect the people he cared about, he had to cooperate with the investigation and tell the whole truth.
In fact, it was easy for him to get information about these people.
Before coming, Qi Tongwei had conducted an in-depth investigation.
He started with the hospital's personnel information, and then dug deeper along the flow of funds and interpersonal relationships.
Soon, he found some clues.
It was about some unusual financial expenditures by the dean, all of which were directed to a specific high-end villa area.
Qi Tongwei continued to follow this clue and found the residential information of an unemployed woman.
This woman's life seems low-key, but it is full of luxury.
The villa she lives in is one of the high-end villas. The surrounding environment is beautiful and quiet, as if it is a small world isolated from the world.
The luxury car that often picked her up also caught Qi Tongwei's attention. After some investigation, he found out that the car actually belonged to a shareholder of the hospital.
Qi Tongwei connected these clues together and had a rough guess in his mind.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he knew that he had discovered a major secret of the dean.
The dean was still pretending to be calm in front of Qi Tongwei. He didn't know that Qi Tongwei had already grasped his fatal handle.
Qi Tongwei looked at the dean and said slowly, "Haven't you always protected him well?"
The dean's face suddenly turned pale and bloodless, as if his soul had suddenly been sucked out.
His eyes widened, filled with horror and disbelief.
"But you still have to be careful."
Qi Tongwei continued, each word like a sharp knife piercing the dean's heart. "A woman without a job living in a luxury villa complex, and the luxury car she's often picked up and dropped off in belongs to a shareholder of your hospital. Anyone with a little attention would know the whole story."
The dean's expression changed like a palette.
First it was pale, then it turned red due to extreme tension and fear, and then turned to blue-gray.
His lips trembled slightly. He wanted to say something, but it seemed as if something was choking his throat and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.
Qi Tongwei added: "Besides, you probably didn't want to hide it."
When the dean heard this, he felt as if he had been stripped naked and stood in front of everyone, feeling extremely embarrassed.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead and slid down his cheeks.
He never expected that something he thought was flawless would be discovered so easily by Qi Tongwei.
In fact, this dean is really smart.
Shortly after he performed surgery on the director's mother-in-law, he keenly sensed that something was wrong, and an ominous premonition hung over him like a shadow.
He knew very well that what he was involved in was fraught with danger and that every step he took could be disastrous.
So he began to plan carefully to find a way out for his family.
He first arranged for his wife and children to go abroad.
It was a seemingly ordinary day but full of farewells. People were coming and going in the airport. My wife and children were dragging their suitcases with reluctance and worry on their faces.
The dean stood in front of them, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including fear of the impending danger and guilt towards his family.
"When you get there, be sure to take good care of yourself and your children."
The dean's voice was a little hoarse, and he held his wife's hand tightly, as if he would lose them if he let go.
Tears welled up in his wife's eyes. She nodded and said, "You have to be careful too. If things really don't work out, just forget about what's going on here and come reunite with us."
The dean smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew that he was already deeply involved in it and it would be difficult to get out of it.
After sending his wife and children abroad, the dean did not let down his guard.
He set about transferring the assets, a complex and risky process.
He took advantage of his position in the hospital and cleverly transferred part of the funds to secret accounts abroad through seemingly legal means such as medical equipment procurement and scientific research project cooperation.
Every flow of funds was carefully designed by him, and those numbers were like chips that could save his life in his eyes.
However, this illegitimate daughter was born long before the incident happened.
She was like an unexpected existence, but for some unknown reason, the dean chose to keep her by his side.
Maybe it was because of his preference for her, or maybe he wanted to keep a piece of warmth that belonged to him in this world full of danger and conspiracy.
The dean gave this illegitimate daughter the best resources, allowing her to live in a high-end villa area and enjoy superior living conditions.
He arranged the best school for her and hired the best tutor for her.
When he looked at the little girl, his eyes were always filled with tenderness, which was a bit of comfort for him in the darkness.
However, he never expected that this illegitimate daughter would now become a handle for Qi Tongwei to use.
He originally thought that his plan was flawless, but he didn't expect that Qi Tongwei was like a keen hunter and easily discovered the secret he hid in the dark.
The dean was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Qi Tongwei didn't rush to ask him questions. He just looked at the dean quietly, with an unfathomable depth in his eyes.
The dean knelt on the ground, as if the whole world had collapsed. He kept thinking in his mind what to do next.
After a long time, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and suddenly said, "I only know a man named A'long. I don't know his specific name. He's not very old, but he's very powerful."
The dean's voice trembled a little, as if he was recalling something terrible.
Qi Tongwei's heart moved and he immediately thought of Long Can.
