Chapter 142 3 Master, are you okay?
Although Wang Kui hadn't finished speaking, Zhang Guohua had keenly caught the key words "Old Chief Duan". With years of experience and insight into the situation, he had already made a rough guess in his mind, so he hurriedly called out in a respectful tone: "Third Master."
"Yeah." Duan Yuchen's response was as calm as water, as if without any emotional fluctuations.
At this time, the guard came over with a steady pace, holding a cup of steaming hot tea on a tray. Wang Kui stepped forward and respectfully took the cup of tea from the guard, carefully brought it to Duan Yuchen, bowed slightly and said, "Third Master, please have some tea."
"Yeah." Duan Yuchen nodded expressionlessly, took the teacup and said no more. After a short silence, he suddenly asked, "How is Mu Kaiyuan's case going now?"
Wang Kui quickly straightened up and answered in a serious tone, "We have collected all the evidence and evidence, and we can basically determine the facts of the case and determine the sentence." After a pause, he continued, "Third Master, do you want to know the details of the case and related details?"
"Speak!" Duan Yuchen spoke sparingly and gave instructions clearly and concisely.
After getting the permission, Wang Kui did not dare to neglect it. He told Duan Yuchen clearly and logically. First, he mentioned the surveillance video of Mu Kaiyuan and Lu Jinghai dining together, and analyzed the possible doubts and important information frame by frame; then, he repeated Lu Jinghai's confession to Duan Yuchen word by word and in detail. Not only that, Wang Kui also added some new findings during the investigation. For example, through in-depth visits and investigation and evidence collection, they found that the living standard of Mu Kaiyuan's family was obviously beyond the scope of ordinary civil servants' families... Finally, Wang Kui bowed again and asked: "Third Master, how do you think this matter should be handled most appropriately?"
"Mu Kaiyuan is a civil servant after all. He has a heavy responsibility. Every decision and every action he takes is related to the interests of the people and social justice. So when handling cases involving him, we must be extremely cautious. It was too hasty to close the case in one day. We must never let go of any bad guy who breaks the law, but at the same time we must ensure that we do not wrongly accuse any good official who is dedicated to the public and has made outstanding contributions to the country." Duan Yuchen said solemnly. These words sounded particularly solemn when he spoke, and people couldn't help but look at him sideways.
After hearing this, Wang Kui nodded hurriedly and said, "Third Master, what you said makes a lot of sense! It should be so."
At this moment, Duan Yuchen suddenly turned his head, his eyes fell directly on Qiao Jingyu, and asked, "Miss Qiao just said that she could find evidence in 3 days to prove that someone deliberately framed Mu Kaiyuan, is that right?"
Qiao Jingyu was slightly startled when she heard this, and was secretly surprised that Duan Yuchen had the same opinion as her, thinking that there was an unknown inside story behind Mu Kaiyuan's case. What made her even more happy was that Duan Yuchen seemed willing to give her enough time to find out the truth.
Qiao Jingyu quickly came to her senses, nodded vigorously, and replied, "Yes."
Seeing this, Duan Yuchen nodded slightly to show his approval, and then said: "Okay, then I will give you three days to investigate this matter thoroughly. But let me be frank, if you can't produce strong evidence after three days, then Mu Kaiyuan's case will have to be closed. I hope you can make good use of these three days and find evidence to clear Mu Kaiyuan's name."
"No, I strongly disagree." Zhang Guohua was so anxious that his face flushed when he heard this. He interrupted Duan Yuchen without hesitation. He straightened his back and said with a righteous face: "Who can guarantee that there will be no unexpected situation in these short three days? At present, this matter is only in the stage of internal investigation. If it is spread out rashly, the consequences will be disastrous! This will not only cause great damage to the reputation of our army, but also make the majority of the people mistakenly believe that there are serious corruption problems in state institutions, and then lose confidence and trust in our entire country. Such a heavy responsibility is not something that a young girl who has not experienced much of the world can bear? Moreover, as far as I know, Mu Kaiyuan's family has always lived a luxurious and extravagant lifestyle."
Seeing this, Feng Bo's face instantly darkened. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Secretary Zhang, please be aware of your identity. The Third Master is talking to Miss Qiao at the moment. Please don't interrupt at will." This sentence sounds polite, but the meaning contained in it is obvious - you have no right to speak here, so don't talk too much.
However, Duan Yuchen was not affected by the words of Zhang Guohua and Feng Bo. He remained calm and responded in a light tone: "If she can't bear this responsibility, then adding me, I wonder if that will be enough? I didn't expect that now a secretary is in charge of the army." Although his tone was calm, the cold and sharp aura emanating from him was like a substance, which made people feel an irresistible sense of oppression.
“Even if Mu Kaiyuan lives an extravagant life, it’s because he has the capital. Everyone in the Mu Group knows that they are one Mu.” Duan Yuchen said and took a sip of tea.
Zhang Guohua's face turned pale. Although he had worked with Mu Kaiyuan for many years, he didn't know the relationship between Mu Kaiyuan and the Mu Group. He looked up at Wang Kui's warning eyes and realized that he was too impatient just now. Then he forced a smile and said, "I said too much. Please forgive me, Third Master."
Wang Kui noticed Duan Yuchen's displeasure, and then said, "We'll discuss Mu Kaiyuan's matter in three days."
Even though Zhang Guohua was reluctant, he didn't dare to say no.
After things were settled, Qiao Jingyu and Song Yang left. Wang Kui hadn't seen Duan Yuchen for three or four years, so he started chatting with Duan Yuchen about family matters.
Feng Bo noticed that Duan Yuchen had been frowning since the moment he entered the army. When he was chatting with Wang Kui, he would rub his eyebrows with his fingers from time to time. During the chat, Duan Yuchen just responded perfunctorily, while Wang Kui was the only one who kept talking enthusiastically.
After a while, Feng Bo saw that Wang Kui didn't seem to want to stop, so he found an excuse to interrupt, "Staff Officer Wang, the Third Master still has some private matters to deal with in Haicheng, and has a dinner appointment. It's almost time now, you see..."
"Master San, you have an appointment?" Wang Kui said apologetically, "Master San, I'm so sorry, I thought you would have dinner in the army!"
Wang Kui accompanied Duan Yuchen to the gate and did not leave until Duan Yuchen's car disappeared from his sight.
In the car, Feng Bo glanced at Duan Yuchen through the rearview mirror. He saw him leaning against the seat with his eyes closed, his brows still slightly furrowed. His calm face seemed more melancholy than usual. He pursed his thin lips slightly, revealing a sense of forbearance. "Third Master, are you okay?"
