Gu Jingran nodded.
"Of course, anyone involved will be subject to investigation."
According to Gu Jingran, when the Discipline Inspection Commission found Commander Zhang, he seemed to have anticipated all of this and was unusually calm, only looking guilty.
He sighed deeply, “In my life, what gunfire haven’t I seen, what danger haven’t I experienced? What have I risked my life for? Isn’t it to pull the people out of their misery and let them live a good life? I never imagined that my children and grandchildren would do something that would harm the interests of the people. I failed to educate them properly. I have let down the Party and the country’s years of cultivation!”
Hearing Commander Zhang's words, Ye Linchen felt a chill run down his spine.
She always felt that there were several layers of meaning hidden in those words.
"He's playing the emotional card," Ye Linchen said softly.
Gu Jingran nodded, agreeing with her view: "Yes, on the one hand, he wants to tell everyone that he has made great contributions to the country and hopes that the organization can take pity on him and give him a lenient punishment; on the other hand, he is also trying to distance himself from the situation and say that he was unaware of his children's and grandchildren's illegal behavior and that it was all their own fault."
He chuckled lightly, "The Discipline Inspection Commission won't turn a blind eye to his words. As long as he has done something illegal or disorderly, he will be severely punished by law, no matter how high his merits are."
Ye Linchen thought of Liu Ping, who had been killed by Zhang Tingting, and sighed deeply.
"Liu Ping has finally been exonerated, and her parents and family must be happy for her."
Gu Jingran looked at her with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"Actually, Liu Ping's situation is very similar to yours."
Gu Jingran then told Ye Linchen about Liu Ping's situation.
Liu Ping's mother died when she was young, and her father remarried soon after.
With a stepmother comes a stepfather, and Liu Ping's life became very difficult. Before long, her father sent her to her grandmother's house in the countryside.
He was not brought back to the city until just before the college entrance examination.
Her relationship with her father was distant and polite.
Living at home, they seem more like tenants than father and daughter.
Because Liu Ping spoke with a heavy rural accent, her classmates laughed at her when she arrived at school.
Zhang Tingting, in particular, called her a country bumpkin and tried every possible way to humiliate her.
Liu Ping was a stubborn girl who refused to bow down and admit defeat to Zhang Tingting.
She gritted her teeth and studied hard, wanting to prove herself with her grades.
Zhang Tingting then bullied her even more, trying to make her feel ashamed at school.
After Liu Ping's incident, her family only made a token fuss and did not actively pursue the truth.
Moreover, the Zhang family gave them a sum of money, enough for them to live a good life for several years, so they were even less willing to pursue the matter.
This is one of the reasons why the Zhang family was able to easily resolve this matter back then.
“When the Discipline Inspection Commission went to investigate this time, they were unwilling to cooperate, fearing that they would have to give back the benefits they had already received.”
Ye Linchen felt a tightness in his chest and was extremely uncomfortable.
Liu Ping's situation was even worse than hers, and she faced even stronger bullying forces, yet she was so brave and never compromised.
She asked angrily, "Will Liu Ping's family be punished for accepting benefits from the Zhang family?"
"Of course. The Discipline Inspection Commission has already obtained relevant evidence and will handle the matter according to law. Not only them, but also the school and the relevant police station will be investigated to see if they committed any dereliction of duty in handling Liu Ping's case, and whether they accepted any benefits from the Zhang family. If it is found that they did have problems, they will also have to bear the corresponding responsibilities!"
Ye Linchen let out a long sigh of relief, the frustration in his heart vanishing completely.
Great! Finally, we can avenge Liu Ping!
Those who bullied her will eventually receive the punishment they deserve!
This can be considered a belated justice for her!
As they were talking, the waiter brought the dishes to the table, and the aroma was irresistible.
The steamed ribbonfish, glistening with an enticing sheen, is arranged on a plate, while the silverfish and scrambled eggs are golden in color and exude a wonderful aroma.
The spicy and fragrant dry pot mixed fish from Linjiang is especially irresistible.
Ye Linchen picked up a piece of ribbonfish, carefully removed the bones, and put it in her mouth. The tender fish meat melted on her tongue, making her squint her eyes and reveal a satisfied smile.
Gu Jingran looked at her, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
The two enjoyed the delicious river delicacies while admiring the river view outside the window.
The river surface shimmered, reflecting the color of the sky, and fishing boats occasionally sailed by in the distance, leaving long trails in their wake.
The constant river breeze ruffled Ye Linchen's hair, prompting her to reach out and gather it.
Seeing this, Gu Jingran asked considerately, "Are you cold? Should we close the window a little?"
Ye Linchen shook his head: "No need, the breeze feels just right."
The two sat facing each other, eating quietly, exchanging a few words occasionally, their eyes and brows full of smiles.
Although they haven't officially declared their relationship, they can both sense each other's feelings.
After finishing his meal, Gu Jingran took out a small dark blue box.
Ye Linchen looked at it curiously: "What is this?"
Gu Jingran smiled at her, opened the box, and inside lay a delicate women's watch.
The silver dial gleamed under the light.
Gu Jingran pushed the box over: "I saw it when I was on a business trip in Shenzhen. I thought it would look great on you, so I thought I'd buy it for you."
Ye Linchen was startled and quickly waved his hand, "This...this gift is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Ye Linchen really liked the watch, but given her relationship with Gu Jingran, it wasn't appropriate for her to accept such an expensive gift.
Gu Jingran insisted, "This watch is nothing special in Shenzhen. You have classes every day, and a watch will make it easier to tell the time."
