Xiang Yuxi then spoke up,
"It cost 250,000,"
When this number was mentioned, the other girls in the dorm were immediately stunned.
They knew the necklace was expensive, but they didn't expect it to be this expensive.
One of the sisters immediately said,
"Mingcheng is so good to you!"
Xiang Yuxi then said,
"I really liked this necklace; I fell in love with it at first sight."
But when I asked the price, it was too expensive, so I didn't really want it. However, Wu Mingcheng insisted on buying it for me, so I had no choice but to accept it.
The girls in the dorm said enviously.
"Mingcheng is so handsome, is this what they call boyfriend material? I want a boyfriend like him too!"
On this side, after Chief Ma of the Chaoyang District Branch brought back Guo Ge, the nouveau riche, and his gang...
The nouveau riche was handcuffed to a chair in the interrogation room, completely oblivious to the gravity of the situation.
He looked at Old Ma across from him with a forced smile and said,
"Director Ma, what are you doing? We've known each other for years, haven't we? Why don't you release me first?"
At this moment, Old Ma shook his head at him and then said seriously,
"Mr. Guo, I know you have connections with many leaders in our district."
However, this time I really can't let you go. I can only say that you've offended someone you shouldn't have.
I reckon no matter who you ask, they can't save you. You'd better watch yourself."
Upon hearing Old Ma's words, he immediately thought of the young couple from earlier.
He then asked curiously,
"Director Ma, could it be that young man from earlier? Just who is he?"
Seeing that the nouveau riche had figured out the key point, Old Ma raised a finger and pointed to the ceiling.
"You're really unlucky to have run into him. Don't be fooled by his unassuming clothes."
"They come from a powerful political family in the capital, with impeccable political credentials. How could someone like you possibly afford to offend them?"
The nouveau riche panicked upon hearing this and quickly said...
"Director Ma, we have a pretty good relationship, and I've been giving our police station a lot of bribes lately. You absolutely have to save my life this time!"
Old Ma sighed and said,
"Old Guo, you have to understand, it's not that I don't want to save you, the key is that I really can't do anything about it."
Upon hearing Old Ma's words, the nouveau riche felt utterly dejected and slumped into his chair.
At this point, considering their past relationship, Old Ma decided to give him a chance, and then said,
"Old Guo, don't say I, Old Ma, am heartless. I'm in a difficult position too."
Well then, I can only do my best to give you a chance to use your connections, and I'll also point you in the right direction.
"As long as you can find connections with core members of the famous Huaxing Club in the capital, then you're saved."
As he spoke, Old Ma took the nouveau riche's phone out of his pocket and placed it in front of him, then sat back down.
The nouveau riche's hope was instantly rekindled, and he gave Old Ma a grateful look.
Then, he quickly picked up the phone and called his mistress.
As a result, the nouveau riche made more than a dozen phone calls, but his mistress didn't answer any of them.
It turns out that after the nouveau riche got into trouble, his mistress had already absconded with his money and left the capital with her young lover.
Old Ma from across the street then walked over and took the phone from the nouveau riche's hand.
Then, he said aloud,
"Old Guo, nothing is ever-changing. It seems you can't escape this calamity." (5.6)
You've had your share of glory, so your trip wasn't in vain. Be content.
The nouveau riche slumped into his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.
At this point, he had no hope left and could only accept his fate.
Old Ma watched this scene, sighed, and shook his head gently. "It's all fate," he thought.
Their investigation revealed that the nouveau riche were not exactly clean people to begin with.
Issues such as unpaid wages for migrant workers and deaths due to inadequate safety measures at construction sites frequently occurred at his site, but he forcefully suppressed them all.
After this incident with Wu Mingcheng, it became even more impossible to conceal.
Chapter 169 The Hotshot
The following day, the Chaoyang District Branch of the Beijing Municipal Police Bureau issued a notice to the public.
––––Announcement on the dismantling of a criminal gang––––––
Thanks to the tireless efforts of all officers at the Chaoyang District Branch of the Beijing Municipal Police Bureau, a criminal gang led by Guo, chairman of Beijing Hongchang Construction Co., Ltd., was busted.
Guo was convicted of organizing and leading a criminal organization, intentional injury, obstructing official business, illegal business operations, tax evasion, bribery, and other crimes.
All key suspects within the gang were arrested and brought to justice yesterday by the Chaoyang District Branch of the Public Security Bureau.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
After returning home, Wu Mingcheng began writing his graduation thesis based on the firsthand data and information he had gathered during the investigation.
This was naturally a piece of cake for Wu Mingcheng, who had already published numerous papers in many authoritative journals.
After determining the overall structure and content of the paper, he began to consider some feasible policies and measures, and started to organize the specific content of the paper.
With graduation fast approaching, Wu Mingcheng has been spending most of his time working on his thesis.
Xiang Yuxi knew that Wu Mingcheng was busy with his thesis, and she also needed to write her own graduation thesis.
So the two of them didn't have much time to go out on dates, and when they were together, they mostly ate at the cafeteria.
About a week later, the paper was nearly complete in Wu Mingcheng's hands.
Wu Mingcheng printed out his thesis from the computer and took it to his advisor, Professor Wang Jiancheng.
Professor Wang Jiancheng was very satisfied after reading this paper.
He nodded repeatedly in praise.
"Yes, that's fine. With your current level, you don't need to show me this paper at all."
This paper could be published directly; at least from my perspective, I don't see any problems with it.
Wu Mingcheng then said,
"Teacher, please don't say that. You guided me a lot at the beginning,"
Professor Wang Jiancheng was very pleased with Wu Mingcheng's statement. His student had always been mentally sound and very mature, so he didn't need to worry about him.
He went on to say,
"I don't think there's anything that needs to be changed. You can just wait for your graduation defense."
After receiving his teacher's affirmation, Wu Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Professor Wang Jiancheng spoke up at this moment.
"By the way, Mingcheng, I need to tell you that you need to prepare well for this defense."
It is estimated that some relevant leaders from the Narcotics Control Bureau of the Ministry of Police will attend.
Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng nodded and said,
"Okay, teacher, I understand."
Meanwhile, in the principal's office inside the school's administration building,
The principal is currently on the phone with the head of the 13th Bureau of the State Security Bureau of China.
The principal said helplessly.
"Old Cai, Old Wu from the 10th Bureau of your Security Bureau just called me, and I just hung up. Now you're calling again."
"It's Director Cai from the 13th Bureau who spoke up."
"Wow, Old Wu's nose is really sharp; he managed to get there before me!"
Isn't this a once-in-a-century talent? Who wouldn't be itching to get their hands on one?
"With this kid coming to our side, the technical capabilities of our 13th Bureau will at least double."
The principal nodded and said,
"A talent like Mingcheng is indeed rare, but there is only one Wu Mingcheng."
"With so many of you coming to me, I can't do anything about it. I can't just break it down into pieces and give it to you all, can I?"
