Wang Duo narrowed his eyes. He had been so focused on dealing with Jiang Wanqing that he hadn't expected there to be other variables among the candidates.
"you……"
Such unexpected events are most likely to catch people off guard, and he was no exception.
"You're quite an interesting young man, you've even learned to threaten people. Since you know who I am, you should know I'm not easily intimidated. I don't know if the evidence you have is real or fake. Even if I let you into the research institute, do you think you can convince the public?"
"I don't know whether I'm convincing or not, but I do know that over the years, Director Wang, you've brought in quite a few people who can't win people over. If there are many like that, one more won't make a difference, right? Anyway, everyone's level is about the same."
The stalemate continued. Ji Dagang remained unmoved by either soft or hard tactics. Wang Duo, having just suffered a setback with the law enforcement department, was now consumed by anger and lost control. He suddenly grabbed Ji Dagang by the neck, gritting his teeth and speaking in a vicious tone.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?!"
"Try strangling me. I left some friends outside. If I don't get back safely today, someone will still report you. Chief Wang, since I dared to come to you, I couldn't have come without any backup plan. Don't you understand that?"
Wang Duo was furious. He had no information about this person who had suddenly appeared, nor did he have a foolproof way to deal with him. He really didn't dare to kill him like this.
He gradually loosened his grip, staring hatefully at Ji Dagang.
What do your parents do?
He first needs to figure out if the person in front of him has any connections. If they do, it might be worth doing them a favor and letting himself be safe for the time being. If they don't, he'll appease them today and then crush them later!
"The working class and peasantry."
"Hmph, you do have guts." Wang Duo looked him up and down, his tone sarcastic. "You dared to come to me all by yourself. I respect you as a man. How about this? Forget about getting into any research institute. I'll find you another job. You destroy the evidence, okay?"
He looked at Ji Dagang with a condescending expression, full of disdain, but the other party didn't buy it.
"It's not that great, I just want to get into a research institute."
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! No way!"
"Then I'll force my way through!"
"Young man, I advise you to calm down. Going against me will not end well. Even Professor Lin and Professor Xue's favorite student was defeated by me. Do you think you are better than her?"
"You mean you completely control the exams, that you can let whoever you want in or let whoever you want fail?"
"That's right, that's exactly the point!"
Upon receiving Wang Duo's affirmative and triumphant reply, Ji Dagang couldn't help but clap his hands.
"Wow, you admitted it yourself! You're so amazing, you never thought you'd end up putting yourself in jail one day!"
"What did you say?"
"Have you all heard enough? Come out now. This Director Wang has confessed to everything. That alone is enough to convict him. Take him back and investigate him thoroughly. Maybe we can uncover more. Don't miss this opportunity to earn merit!"
"Who are you talking to!"
Wang Duo looked around, but there were only the two of them in the alley. He even looked up, but there was clearly nothing there!
Before he could even feel happy, several law enforcement officers surrounded him from both sides of the alley.
His eyes widened instantly: "You...you set me up!"
"What a setup to frame you! You're very familiar with this, which is why you can just spout off like that."
Jiang Wanqing then appeared, and together with Cheng Ran, a few words completely swayed Wang Duo to the ground. His eyes were glazed over, and he was still making a last-ditch effort to argue.
"No...you...you're the ones breaking the law! You're using inducement! I'm going to sue you!"
"Oh, then go ahead and sue. Anyway, the evidence is conclusive now. The candidates from previous years have jointly reported you. Director Wang, think carefully about how to clear your name. Of course, such a thing doesn't exist for you."
"Jiang Wanqing! Cheng Ran! You guys... *pfft*"
Enraged, Wang Duo coughed up a mouthful of blood. Law enforcement officers took him away, and he turned to glare at Ji Dagang with resentment.
"You...you just wait! When I get out...I'll definitely not let you get away with this..."
As he passed by Cheng Ran, he heard another piece of terrible news that was enough to kill him.
"Comrade Ji is Chief Ji's son, what do you intend to do about it?"
"What?!"
He was completely bewildered. Not only had this Ji Dagang suddenly appeared to cause him trouble, but he was also the son of a real big shot! Then why did he just say he was from the working class...?
"Goodbye~ Director Wang, farewell! Life inside is quite enjoyable, so be sure to enjoy it to the fullest with your daughter, and never come out to cause trouble again!"
Jiang Wanqing felt a surge of satisfaction as she watched Wang Duo being taken away by law enforcement officers, her anger finally released.
She took a deep breath, looked at Cheng Ran, then at Ji Dagang, and slightly curled the corners of her lips.
"Now it's time to go to the institute and deal with those remaining troublemakers, Comrade Ji. We really need your help this time."
"It is my honor. It is everyone's responsibility to eradicate malignant tumors!"
"Okay, let's go."
The three of them arrived at the research institute together. It was very quiet inside, and even the people who usually liked to gather together to gossip were now feeling uneasy.
Everyone has their own agenda. The news of Wang Yan's arrest has already spread throughout the police station, and with Wang Duo also absent these past two days, everyone is even more frightened.
When Jiang Wanqing entered, everyone looked at her as if they had seen a ghost, and their faces turned extremely ugly.
"Comrade Jiang... Comrade Jiang, why are you back? Shouldn't you be cooperating with the investigation?" someone asked awkwardly.
"The truth has come out. Your Director Wang has been arrested. This time, he's not just cooperating with the investigation; he'll probably face imprisonment."
She uttered those words lightly, and the person who asked the question trembled, dropping a cup. The others lowered their heads, their faces turning ashen.
At this moment, Xiao Wei came out of the office, saw them, and happily walked over.
"Comrade Cheng, Comrade Jiang, you're back. Is something the matter? And who is this...?" She glanced at Ji Dagang and asked.
"Let me introduce you," Cheng Ran said calmly. "This is Chief Ji's son, and also one of the candidates this year. Due to the leak of the exam questions and various unfair practices, he was disqualified. He contributed a lot to exposing the crimes of Wang Duo and his daughter Wang Yan. We've come back to announce something: we've applied to have this year's exam retaken, including those researchers recruited in previous years. Those who pass will stay, and those who fail will leave. If you still have any self-awareness and want to retain some dignity, we suggest you resign. That's all I have to say. If you still don't believe me, you probably want to go in and join your Director Wang!"
"Smack..."
"Bang……"
"Thump..."
This incident caused a huge uproar. Most people were so frightened that they trembled and couldn't hold onto their things. Some even fell to the ground.
