"It's absolutely true! Just now, when I finished my call and was about to return, some students leaving the cafeteria gave me a brief account of Pan Yang's performance in school. According to his classmates, Pan Yang is an architecture student, but since the start of the semester, he's only attended classes a handful of times, which doesn't match his college entrance exam results. Over time, two theories have circulated around the school: one is that Pan Yang got his score by taking the exam for someone else, and the other is that Pan Yang is impersonating someone else."
"Anything else?"
"Yes, students said Pan Yang's father was good friends with Vice President Qin Tianxiang, and that his father had a vested interest in Zhou Minggui, the director of the Academic Affairs Office."
"Logically, this kind of thing should be done in secret. How did the students know about it?"
"It's said that they were caught by the student union. The details are unclear, but we only know that the student later voluntarily dropped out of school."
"Okay, I get it! Which departments have you contacted?"
"I called Deputy Commander Ma of the Jingzhou Military Region and the Retired Cadres Office. After discussing the situation with my classmates, I contacted the bureau and explained the situation to them. The bureau told me that they would contact the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the Education Bureau."
"Okay, then wait!"
While Xu Jianguo and others were staying in the cafeteria waiting for someone to come and deal with the matter, Ma Guoliang was roaring in an office at the Jingzhou Military Region Headquarters.
The two people standing in front of him and being scolded were the director of the military district’s patrol department and the director of the retired cadres office.
"Two cadres who have been retired for several years can still mobilize people from your patrol department? Come on, Qian Guoqiang, tell me who gave them the power?!"
"Commander, I, I..."
"Think it over first!" Ma Guoliang cursed again, then looked at another person.
"Huang Biao, tell me, what are the basic responsibilities of the Retired Cadres Office? With the rank of Wei Dayong and Luo Ming, can they just arbitrarily mobilize military vehicles? They're old and confused, and as the office director, don't you understand?"
Huang Biao opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain. As the director of the Office of Retired Cadres, his usual job responsibility was to coordinate the support work of the major retirement homes in Jingzhou. To put it bluntly, he was responsible for taking care of the food, clothing, and shelter of these elderly people, which was equivalent to the logistics department of a large military region.
Judging from the ranks of Pan Dayong and Luo Ming before they retired, they were not even qualified to live in a stand-alone general's building and could only live in a three-story tube building. They had no right to use military vehicles to handle personal matters.
Of course, if they need to be sent to the hospital for medical treatment due to physical reasons, they only need to make a phone call to the logistics department of the retirement home and it can be arranged immediately.
But in a situation like today, it was obviously an overstepping of authority, and Zhang Biao had not expected that he had only given them a little face, but these two old men would cause him such a big trouble.
"You two have nothing to say?"
"Commander, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to redeem myself and redeem myself. I'll go and bring those bastards back right now!"
"Commander, calm down. Today's incident was indeed my fault. I didn't expect them to..."
Ma Guoliang waved his hand, clearly not wanting to hear what the two were saying. He continued, "Right now, immediately, take your people to Jingzhou University, bring them back, and lock them up in the solitary confinement room. The issues concerning Pan Dayong and Luo Ming will be handled by the Military Region's Administrative Office. If this fails, I'll skin you alive!"
When Qian Guoqiang and Huang Biao heard this, they were immediately shocked and quickly stood at attention and saluted, saying, "Yes, we guarantee to complete the mission!"
"Get out!" Ma Guoliang cursed.
The two men walked out of the office quickly as if they had been pardoned. In the communication room at the entrance of the headquarters, they each made a phone call and waited for more than ten minutes, and then five jeeps arrived.
After the two got in the car, the jeep drove quickly towards the gate.
Back at the Security Bureau compound, the people from the Political Department became nervous immediately after receiving a call from Liu Yang and hearing that it involved Major General Xu Jianguo.
The person who answered the phone recorded the details of what happened and then reported the situation to his superior.
Afterwards, the director of the Political Department, Zhong Weimin, called the deputy director Wan Chongshan, and then Old Man Wang contacted the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Discipline Inspection Commission, as well as several departments such as education and public security.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of people from all sides rushed to Jingzhou University.
Thanks to the fact that the road conditions in Jingzhou City were relatively acceptable in the early 1970s, and there were very few cars on the road, it only took more than 20 minutes for people from various departments to rush to Jingzhou University.
At this time, the gatekeeper was looking at the scene in front of him with a confused look on his face. More than 20 cars of various types surrounded the gate.
Just as he was stunned, a cadre got off the nearest military vehicle. It was Qian Guoqiang, director of the Inspection Department of the Jingzhou Military Region.
After showing his ID to the gatekeeper, he asked about the location of the fourth canteen.
It was not until then that the uncle vaguely guessed something. He quickly lifted the barrier and told Qian Guoqiang the location of the cafeteria.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't leave his post without permission, the gatekeeper would have gotten in the car himself to show them the way.
A large number of vehicles poured into Jingzhou University, which immediately attracted the attention of teachers and students in the school. When everyone found that these cars were heading towards the fourth cafeteria near the Law School, they immediately thought of something.
Afterwards, the news spread like a tide in the campus. Some students who did not have classes in the afternoon immediately put down their books, ran out of the dormitory wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, and ran towards the fourth cafeteria in twos and threes.
"Squeak! Click!"
Accompanied by the sounds of sudden brakes, vehicles driven by various departments stopped outside the fourth canteen. After the sounds of car doors opening and closing one after another, dozens of people poured into the canteen.
The three leaders were Xiong Qingshan, director of the Political Department of the Jingzhou Military Region, He Jinming, director of the First Supervision Office of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Ai Guochang, head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.
Following behind them were Qian Guoqiang, Huang Biao and others, as well as people from the Jingzhou City Education Bureau and Public Security Bureau.
In addition to these people, a well-informed vice president of Jingzhou University made several consecutive phone calls, found the president who went to the Ministry of Education to attend a meeting, and gave a concise report on what he had learned.
The old principal, who was over 60 years old, almost fainted when he heard this. After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly left the Ministry of Education and rushed to the school with his secretary.
