Chapter 154 Questioning the Village Chief

Everything Chen Daqiang said was true. The village chief had always had a good relationship with Chen Daqiang over the years, and his family even gave him a set of pig offal when they slaughtered a pig.

"I want to tell you the truth today. Did you withhold Su Ying's admission letter?"

The village chief quickly shook his head.

"No"

Su Ying and the others didn't believe this answer. According to the original owner's memory, she had checked her admission letter. If she wanted to change her name, the village chief would definitely know.

"Are you sure? If you lie to me today and I find out, we won't be friends anymore."

Chen Daqiang's words were sonorous and powerful, but they actually sounded very uncomfortable to the village chief.

He looked at Chen Daqiang, thought for a moment, and advised him.

"Da Qiang, I didn't lie. I really didn't deduct any points. Besides, Su Ying is still young. She can definitely take the exam again next year and go to college next year. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the exam is in November. It's not long before then. It's just the difference between a year in the morning and a year in the evening."

After hearing what the village chief said, the Chen family finally confirmed that Su Ying had indeed passed the exam.

Su Ying was also holding her breath, she looked at the village chief and asked.

"Then can you tell me who took my acceptance letter? Who used it to go to college?"

The village chief lowered his head, and with a slightly trembling hand he reached for the cigarette on the table, lit one, and took a few deep puffs.

"Su Ying, don't ask me about this anymore. I know you're very angry and uncomfortable, but these are people you can't afford to offend. Just quietly take the exam for another year. I'm sure you'll be able to leave this year."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Daqiang again with a serious expression.

"You can't afford to offend them. I know you Chen brothers are quite powerful in Shangyang Village. Most people have to give you face, but this is a county matter. You can't interfere. Daqiang, I didn't tell you for your sake. Don't pursue it. So, I'll pay for half of Su Ying's tuition this year. Is that okay with you?"

Chen Daqiang slammed the chopsticks in his hand hard on the table.

"Damn it, tell me, how much did you sell Su Ying's notice for?"

Chen Daqiang also walked in at this time, and he saw a chopstick flying straight towards him. He quickly turned his head to avoid it, and looked at Chen Daqiang in shock.

"Brother, are you trying to stab me to death?"

Chen Daqiang ignored him and just stared at the village chief, as if he was going to fight with him.

The village chief frowned, his face looking unhappy. He took two deep puffs of his cigarette.

"Chen Daqiang, I swear to God, I really didn't take a penny. He didn't ask me about this matter, he just informed me."

"Who did it go through? Where was the notice withheld? The Education Bureau? Or was it withheld at the county level?"

Gu Jinghong suddenly spoke.

He had a low voice, a stern look in his eyes, and a cold and sharp aura emanated from his entire body.

The village chief often went to the county for meetings, but he had never felt such an aura from the county secretary. He stared at Gu Jinghong and asked.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Su Ying's husband. Seeing that you seem to have a good relationship with your uncle, I'll tell you the truth. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter who is involved, they will not be able to escape. Think about it before answering my questions."

The village chief's eyes flickered, and he looked at Chen Daqiang and asked.

Chen Daqiang snorted.

"Su Ying's lover is from the capital and used to live in the compound. You should tell us everything you know sooner rather than later. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape later."

The village chief was shocked and stood up from the stool. He took two steps back to keep a distance from Gu Jinghong.

A large compound in the capital? That must be the son of an official.

He asked again as if to confirm.

"What do your parents do?"

Gu Jinghong frowned and said in a deep voice.

"You don't know these things. There are a lot of tricks going on in your county. If I investigate, I'm afraid you won't get what they promised you before."

The village chief was already in a state of confusion when he first arrived, but after being frightened by Gu Jinghong, he finally gave in.

He guzzled a few glasses of white wine and then said...

"It really didn't pass through my hands. The admission letter never reached the village. It was intercepted when it was in the county. They just needed my help to change the name and set up the file. I just found out that Su Ying passed the exam, but I didn't dare to object. Being a village chief is not easy for me. Daqiang, can you understand my difficulties? How can an arm twist a thigh?"
