Xu Shixin simply leaned back and sat down on the sofa.
"I've only just taken office, and such a huge commotion has already broken out in Lingnan. Do you think it's just a simple case of the police conducting normal law enforcement and accidentally arresting Xu Jinhan?"
Xu Zhengxi glared at Xu Shixin.
Xu Shixin paused upon hearing this, his expression instantly changing to one of panic:
"you mean?"
He sat up, straightened his back, and stared at his son, seeking an answer.
Xu Zhengxi's expression hardened:
"The police laid out a plan in advance and lay in wait for several days before making the arrest."
"All actions were not reported to the provincial government in advance, which means that there is a higher level remotely directing them."
"More than a hundred people are involved in the case, and more than half of them hold official positions. This is a carefully crafted gift to the newly appointed top leader of Lingnan!"
Xu Shixin was speechless, staring blankly for a long time without being able to utter a word.
He never expected that this earthquake in Lingnan was aimed at his eldest son.
I originally thought that not using money and influence to protect people was a way of helping my eldest son.
Unexpectedly, someone had planted a landmine, waiting for the Xu family to step on it!
"Xu Jinhan is just the beginning."
Xu Zhengxi's face was sinister, his eyes full of warning:
"Your schemes can't be hidden from me, and naturally they can't be hidden from those who are interested."
"The new energy vehicles in Xia City are one thing, but everything else, including these, must be thoroughly cleaned up!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinheng immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet his elder brother's gaze.
"If the Xu family wants to take advantage of my glory, they shouldn't do anything that would give them leverage to bring me down!"
Xu Zhengxi explained everything clearly, word by word, then got up and walked out of the Xu family's old house, not even glancing at the father and son again.
"dad?"
Xu Jinheng lost his mind.
Xu Shixin pursed his lips, his eyes darting around as he considered the matter:
"Do as your older brother says!"
Xu Zhengxi got into the van and was about to close his eyes to rest when he saw Si Kangzhu get out of the passenger seat and ask him if he could sit in the back.
Xu Zhengxi nodded in agreement.
Si Kangzhu got into the car, instructed the driver to start the car, and then raised the partition.
"Young Master, Pei XX is looking for you."
With permission, Si Kangzhu took out her dedicated phone and connected to Pei Li's video call.
"Uncle."
Xu Zhengxi remained calm and composed.
"Has the matter with the Xu family been resolved?"
Pei Li's expression remained calm as usual.
Xu Zhengxi: "It's been taken care of."
Pei Li continued:
"This time it looks like they're targeting you, but actually it's to put pressure on the Pei family."
Xu Zhengxi was slightly surprised. He had thought that someone was dissatisfied with the speed of his promotion, but he did not expect it to be a struggle between upper-level factions.
"Zhengxi, you need to understand that in H country, the ruling class does not commit illegal or criminal acts, only political struggles."
"This is just the beginning; the situation will not be stable from now on."
"Jiang XX's current power requires cooperation in a stable manner."
Pei Libo's calm face held an unquestionable command.
Xu Zhengxi remained silent until Pei Li hung up the video call.
The Jiang family...
He stared out the car window, his emotions unreadable.
Xu Zhengxi returned to the Xu residence and did not find Xu Zhe sleeping in the master bedroom.
So he went to the next bedroom to find her.
Sure enough, as soon as I opened the door, I saw her rosy-cheeked sleeping face buried in the pillow.
The nightgown hung high on her legs, revealing her fair skin that felt cool to the touch.
Xu Zhengxi pulled the thin blanket over her.
If you take a closer sniff, you can smell not only her scent but also the aroma of wine in the room.
He approached her delicate pink lips, his breath carrying the scent of alcohol.
Xu Zhengxi frowned.
I saw her drinking in the garden last night, but I was too eager to relieve myself to ask her anything.
Why are you drinking again today?
He questioned Butler Zhou and learned that Xu Zhe had been in Beidu for only a few days, and had gone to Liang Shile's club. When he returned, he started drinking.
Xu Zhengxi pinched the bridge of his nose. He had never felt so tired from dealing with various matters from morning till night.
My uncle's words echoed in my ears again.
In the imperial court, there is no right or wrong, only the victor and the vanquished.
The Jiang family wants to see me, but...
Xu Zhengxi sighed softly and went back to her room to take a shower.
He was going out early the next morning, and not wanting to disturb Xu Zhe, he went to sleep in his own bedroom.
At three in the morning, Xu Zhe opened his eyes to find himself all alone.
She was stunned for a long time.
Finally, I turned over and forced myself to sleep.
After returning from Beidu, Xu Zhengxi was even busier than before, leaving early and returning late every day.
Xu Zhe wanted to wait for him to come back, but he would always wait until he fell asleep without seeing him.
Before we knew it, it was time to register for the new school term.
Xu Zhe prepared her enrollment documents and had the driver take her from the Xu residence to the nearest bus stop.
Then take a bus to Nancheng University.
Once inside the school gates, Xu Zhe's gloomy heart began to brighten.
Within the lush, green campus stand buildings of historical significance.
The huge lake on campus is like a smooth mirror, soothing the dryness of early autumn.
The air was warm and cool.
Xu Zhe recalled Qin Yuyang's words: Nancheng University is known as the most beautiful campus.
She couldn't resist taking a few photos and sending them to Qin Yuyang.
Qin Yuyang quickly replied with several pictures.
Xu Zhe clicked on it, and it showed the campus of Beidu University.
The vermilion walls and green tiles of Beidu University and the Nanyang-style architecture of Nancheng University are completely different styles.
Xu Zhe chatted with Qin Yuyang for a while longer before continuing on to the freshman registration area.
The senior students who greeted us were very welcoming, and the enrollment procedures were completed quickly. Next, we were able to move our belongings to the dormitory.
"Hey, where's your luggage?"
The senior student who greeted her noticed that she didn't have a handbag with her and assumed that she had left her large items somewhere.
"I didn't bring any luggage today."
Xu Zhe thought he was just there to complete some formalities, but he didn't expect to have to move his things into the dormitory.
Senior student: "......"
"Then you should go straight to the dorm."
The senior student pointed to the dormitory building across the street.
Xu Zhe walked over and immediately became interested in the three-story old-style dormitory building in front of him.
The original white exterior walls are mottled and dark, and the Nanyang-style facade lines outline the entire building in an intricate and exquisite way.
She climbed the ladder and found room 202.
As soon as I pushed open the dormitory door, I froze on the spot.
"Excuse me." Xu Zhe quickly apologized when he saw the person sitting in the room, "I went to the wrong dormitory building."
Xu Zhe closed the door and went downstairs.
I checked the building number.
"That's right?!"
She went upstairs again.
