Chapter 462 It’s really like that
Seeing Deputy Director Han's shocked expression and Section Chief Han's cold smile, everyone immediately sat up straight. Was this about to be a good show?!
Director Han has given up entirely.
“I’m from a collateral branch of the Han family, not part of the main branch. Many people can guess that my coming to the National Security Bureau was partly due to connections. That’s right, it’s true that Deputy Director Han has been taking care of me! But I’m not capable enough! I’m prone to getting arrogant, so Deputy Director Han quickly gave up on me!”
Everyone then looked at Deputy Director Han, who was holding his phone and rapidly typing under the table! But his face showed a betrayed expression, as if he was unable to vent his anger, and his face was flushed with suppressed rage!
Director Han continued, "I've offended so many people for the sake of the Han family. If I'm abandoned, the consequences are predictable!"
Everyone's eyes flickered, but they remained silent. Lu Shaoxin shook his head, saying, "That's why it's important to stay true to your original aspirations."
"So I became a tool in Deputy Director Han's hand. Whoever he disliked, I would point this knife at them. Perhaps fearing things would escalate, he abandoned me again. I'm not reconciled! In our National Security Bureau, those at the bottom have no power whatsoever, not even as much as ordinary officers in the police station. Only those at the top have privileges! Privileges are truly alluring! They can call a deer a horse, and feel superior to others! I believe everyone here understands what I mean! Hahaha!"
No one in the room spoke.
Director Han continued, “After experiencing the benefits of privilege, how could I possibly let go! I want to climb higher! I want more power! But I’m just a person with no real ability! Even if I work until retirement, I’ll never reach the position of bureau chief! So I started scheming. During holidays and festivals, I would contact Deputy Bureau Chief Han’s wife, Zhang Wen. That woman has a really big appetite! At first, it was tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands, and now, if I just whisper something in her ear, she’ll ask for millions! Over the years, the tributes I’ve given her alone are no less than 100 million!”
Everyone gasped!
Chief Xie angrily asked, "Where did your money come from?!"
Director Han sneered: "Where else could it come from? Some companies have just made a fortune, and then they are falsely accused of harming the country, and their company assets are confiscated. Some of it comes from bribes from others. In short, none of it is clean."
Chief Xie picked up the cup lid and threw it at him: "You bastard! A parasite on the people! And what's going on with Zhou Guyin?"
Director Han didn't wipe the blood from his forehead, but continued with a smile, "Zhang Wen has a younger brother named Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze works in the Ministry of Health, and he's mainly responsible for liaising with Professor Cheng's laboratory. Gu Yin developed a very valuable vaccine, and Zhang Ze and his team wanted to keep it for themselves, but Zhou Gu Yin refused. In the past, researchers without much background would have given up when Zhang Ze approached him, but this time he encountered a formidable opponent. Not only is she Professor Cheng's apprentice, but she's also the granddaughter of a shipping magnate. She doesn't fall for his tricks, so he started making all sorts of underhanded moves. But he couldn't do anything about it; whether it's family or company, Zhou Gu Yin's connections are clean. He couldn't find any dirt on her, so he contacted his sister Zhang Wen. After Zhang Wen found out, she immediately contacted me and asked me to take a telegraph machine to Zhou's factory. She specifically instructed me to completely destroy Zhou's! Oh, by the way, she's the one who gave me that telegraph machine."
"Old Han, what do you have to say?" Director Meng asked in a deep voice, holding his breath.
Deputy Director Han shook his head slightly: "My wife does indeed grant my brother-in-law's every wish, and she's not strict with the household. I have nothing to say about that; let her be as she pleases. As for my promotion of Director Han, I did have a little bit of personal motive. After all, I'm not a saint. Showing favor to a distant relative shouldn't be considered wrong, right? Director Meng also takes good care of Deputy Director Lu, doesn't he? And what Director Han said about being my tool, going wherever I point—that's untrue! I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Director Han interrupted him: "Director Han, I have evidence of our dealings, as well as some transaction evidence."
Deputy Director Han opened his mouth, but in the end he only said, "I believe the organization will clear my name." Then he fell silent.
Chief Xie looked at Director Meng: "This matter is of great importance. I will set up an investigation team to follow up on this matter. Have your people in your bureau cooperate. The Ministry of Health and the Han family should send someone over. Take these two people to the interrogation room." After saying that, he got up and walked towards the door.
Hospital.
As Gu Yin emerged from the examination room, everyone crowded around her. Gu Qinglang looked at the doctor and asked, "Doctor! Is my daughter alright, doctor?"
The doctor took off his mask: "No other nerves were damaged, but he still needs to stay in the hospital for a day to see how things go. He's a bit weak."
Zhou Wansheng immediately nodded: "That's good! That's good!"
Gu Yin was wheeled back to the ward. Seeing the three grown men looking at her with concern, Gu Yin smiled and said, "I'm fine, it just looks serious. Don't worry. By the way, Grandpa, what brings you here? Were you arrested too?"
The old man sat on the edge of the bed and said helplessly, "That's right! But as soon as I got to the door, Chief Xie and those people from the Ministry of Finance arrived, and they had no choice but to let us go."
Gu Qinglang sighed, "This is utterly lawless! With officials like this in power, how much suffering will ordinary people endure! They fabricate evidence to frame people without any proof! Luckily, our family has connections this time; if it were an ordinary person..."
Gu Qinglang didn't say what he meant next, but everyone knew what he meant.
The room fell silent for a moment, then footsteps sounded at the door.
The group looked outside.
When the finance minister caught up, Gu Yin was undergoing a check-up. At the time, they didn't know what was going on and felt a little guilty, so they didn't dare to go forward. After the others came out, he asked the doctor and learned that there was no major problem. He then told his subordinates to quickly buy two fruit baskets before daring to knock on Gu Yin's hospital room.
"Is Zhou alright?" Before Zhou Wansheng could speak, he came in, placed the fruit basket on the table, and then smiled at Gu Yin.
Zhou Wansheng is a good-looking old man, but I never expected his granddaughter to be even more stunning! I heard she's also an exceptionally intelligent child! This unexpected disaster was caused by her intelligence! I envy this old man!
Gu Yin didn't recognize this person, but he was present in the interrogation room earlier.
You can't hit a smiling face, so Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "It's alright, the doctor said I'll be hospitalized for observation for a day. And you are?"
"I am Li Zhetian, the Minister of Finance. You can just call me Grandpa Li!" Minister Li said with a smile as he sat down on the sofa.
"Hmph! How dare you? You still have the nerve to come here?" Zhou Wansheng is annoyed just seeing them! No, he's annoyed just seeing people within the system!
Minister Li peeled an orange and handed it to Zhou Wansheng: "Calm down! You know what kind of people we are, right? We've known each other for so long! The one who did wrong is someone else! You can't pin this on us! That's not fair to us!"
Zhou Wansheng neither took the orange nor made a sound.
Minister Li wasn't angry. He ate the orange himself and then looked at Gu Yin: "Your grandfather is very stubborn. For someone like him to have such a beautiful and intelligent granddaughter like you is truly lucky!"
When Gu Yin saw that her grandfather's expression improved after he finished speaking, it seemed that he was able to let someone into the ward, so this person must get along well with her grandfather.
