Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 128 Hidden Secrets

On the way back, Shen Jiaojiao didn't fall asleep at all. She just kept thinking about things. Her cell phone rang. She opened it and saw it was a message from her good friend Fang Zhi. It contained a web link and a voice message. Shen Jiaojiao clicked it and heard her say: There's a shocking case in your hometown.

Shen Jiaojiao clicked on it and found out that a pillar of the old river bridge in D County had fallen into disrepair and was chiseled away in preparation for a new one. However, a dead body was found inside the concrete pier. It was reported in the news, but there was no further information.

Shen Jiaojiao had a bad feeling and quickly called Lu Shize, who had obviously seen the news as well.

"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. I will ask someone to clarify."

Because her uncle mentioned before that it was very likely that her parents’ previous accidents were not accidents...but they were both working in infrastructure, and when she saw the concrete piers, she couldn’t help but think more.

After a few more soothing words from the other end, Shen Jiaojiao quickly said, "Uncle, if, I mean if...it brings you danger, I'd rather not know the truth. I don't want to know at all!"

She didn't want her uncle to be in danger in order to find out the 'truth' of that year. She didn't want that. He was just an innocent man.

Just reading the descriptions in the news, you can tell how terrifying it is. What if he is really involved in what happened back then, and he is dead, but buried in cement and hidden for so many years? Then the person behind this must be very powerful and cruel.

"Don't be afraid, listen to me, that bridge pier is at least thirty years old, so it should have nothing to do with what happened back then."

"Really? Does it really not matter?" Shen Jiaojiao asked anxiously.

"Well, I know a little more information... You can also check that bridge, it was built more than 30 years ago. It's okay if you call me, you see, I told you, now you don't have to worry, be good, have a good rest, you have classes later."

After comforting Shen Jiaojiao, Lu Shize hung up the phone. Special Assistant Chen handed over the tablet, "Sir, this cement block was made extra later.

However, this information has not yet been made public and is confidential, and the task force is still investigating."

This bridge was renovated more than 30 years ago, and the piers are naturally the same, but here, there is an extra cement pier in the water... The people who repaired the old pillars this time found this piece and found it strange. They checked all the documents and didn't see any markings. Why would there be an extra piece here...

So much cement was used, and it was under water, very hidden, and next to the original bridge piers, so it didn't take up much space. During previous surveys, no one had paid special attention to it...

The more they thought about it, the more they felt something was amiss. Since it wasn't an overt addition to the government's plan, it was likely stolen by someone else, hiding some secret...

While the technical team was demolishing the old one, they also chiseled out the extra piece. Sure enough, there was a secret inside, and there was actually a corpse inside.

They reported the case immediately and everything went according to normal procedures. They kept it confidential. This was not the original pier, but was just next to it. The whole thing was not made public. It was all underwater and ordinary people could not know about it. It could be considered that the Urban Construction Bureau completed the work meticulously and made a contribution...

"Well, try to follow up and see if the cement pillar they are talking about was built around 14 years ago or less... If so, it may be related to what we are investigating... However, don't alert the enemy. If there is really a connection, there must be someone who is more nervous than us."

"Yes".

What surprised Shen Jiaojiao was that she hurriedly ran downstairs to the teaching building, but before she went upstairs, her grandmother from her hometown called and she hurriedly picked up the phone.

"Jiaojiao, you are..."

"Grandma, I have to rush to class. It's only a few minutes away. What's going on?"

Grandma Shen saw the news, not from the Internet, but from the county TV station at home. The discovery of a body from a bridge pier was a major event that shocked the entire county.

"Okay, kid, go to class quickly."

Shen Jiao waited for the elevator and pressed the floor button, "Grandma, is there anything wrong? There is no rush in these few minutes, just tell me directly."

"No, I'm fine, I just wanted to call you."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't quite understand, "Is it really okay? Grandma Lu is back today, she should have told you."

"Yes, she did. We talked on the phone this morning. It's really okay. Jiaojiao, you should study."

Shen Jiaojiao got out of the elevator and walked towards the classroom. She confirmed again. Her grandmother still said there was nothing else, so she said, "Okay, I'll hang up. I'll call you in the evening."

However, just as she was about to hang up, grandma seemed to suddenly think of something and hurriedly asked, "You have bodyguards protecting you when you go in and out, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" After saying that, Shen Jiaojiao realized that it might be about the news.

"Grandma, have you seen the news? Don't be afraid."

"Well, don't be afraid, as long as you are fine," grandma hung up the phone in a hurry.

In fact, the first time she saw the news, she thought of what happened that year. She vaguely knew that there must be some hidden story.

So, Lu Shize asked his mother to help with the adoption procedures and bring the child to City A. She agreed. On the one hand, he had a huge debt and was afraid that it would affect Jiaojiao's growth. On the other hand, he was afraid that there would be subsequent dangers. It would always be good to have more people around to protect her.

Lu Shize, she can trust him.

After school, Shen Jiaojiao went to the milk tea shop first. He Li had already left. A new store manager was appointed and a new employee code of conduct was written. Shen Jiaojiao took a look and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. Please take care of this here."

Shen Jiaojiao went to the photo studio again. There were not many people coming in and out, so she checked the store a little faster. When she finished, it was already dark and Grandma Lu called.

"Jiaojiao, didn't you say you came to bother me? Are you after school? I'll send you the address, come over."

After giving the address to the driver, Shen Jiaojiao arrived at almost 7:30. The two hadn't gotten together like this for a long time, and they even took their grandmother to see a movie together.

Chen Beicai came out with the drinks when he heard someone calling his number tag, "I'm coming, I'm coming."

The person over there was still urging, "Hurry up."

Chen Bei quickly washed his hands and ran to the private room they had designated. He opened the door and the foreman inside pointed and said, "That young man has asked for your service."

Chen Bei looked up, the lights in the box were dim and he couldn't see clearly. He walked closer and saw a strange face. He squatted down and said, "Sir, what kind of wine would you like? I'll pour it for you."

Gu Sheng smiled, took a puff of his cigarette, and blew a smoke ring towards his face.

"It is said that when you drink here, you get a commission based on how much you drink?"

Chen Bei frowned and held back his choking, "Yes."

Gu Sheng nodded, handed the cigarette to his assistant to crush, and took the bottle of wine on the table, "How about this? How much can you earn?"

Chen Bei took a quick look and said, "This is the most expensive one, and the commission is 100."

"The most expensive? You only took a hundred? If it's one hundred, isn't that a lot for you?"

Chen Bei didn't respond, just pursed his lips and looked at him.

Gu Sheng raised his hand and waved it, and the young men nearby quickly turned off the karaoke music. The room became quiet, with only the lights flickering.

The foreman also bent down quickly and said, "It's quite a lot. Boss, how do you want to play it? He... will cooperate with you in pouring the wine."

As long as it's not excessive, no one can resist money.

Gu Sheng ordered some wine on the table, "I'll treat you to a drink. After you finish one bottle, I'll pay the bill and you'll get 100 as commission, and your store will also make money... Drink the second bottle, I'll pay the bill again, and then I'll give you another 2 separately. Then for the third bottle, I'll give you an extra 100... and the fourth bottle..."

Chen Bei was so scared that he quickly looked at the foreman, who came over and said, "Oh, boss, you really overestimate him, he..."

"You have no right to speak," a young man next to him interrupted.

Another young man chimed in, "If you are partial and don't let him drink, and want to affect the store's sales, then go call your manager!"

"No, no," the foreman said, shaking his hands in fear. "I'm not worried that he can't drink it. I'm... not worried about what might happen."

Gu Sheng then looked at him calmly, "Are you afraid of something happening?"

The foreman didn't dare to say anything else. After all, Chen Bei didn't seem to be very reluctant, so there was no need for him to force himself to take the lead just for the so-called friendship.

He roughly knew that Chen Bei was short of money.

Chen Bei shook hands. After that incident, he didn't know whether Lu Shize would still sponsor the school's scholarship for the next semester. Even if he did, he would definitely not get a share.

As for scholarships, whether national or municipal, his grades are not outstanding enough. This school is full of talented people. Although he works hard, he is only slightly above the middle level. No matter how the scholarship is distributed, it may not be his turn.

Chen Bei looked at the wine. In fact, in KTV places, the alcohol content of the wine is generally average, and the quantity is also acceptable. It is a thin bottle, and he should be able to drink a bottle.

However, after he drank the bottle, he felt a little dizzy. Gu Sheng was not in a hurry and asked him to open another bottle.

Chen Bei slowed down and heard Gu Sheng say with a smile, "You earned 100 from the last bottle. After drinking this bottle, you will get an extra 100 yuan in addition to the commission." As he said that, he took a picture of 100 yuan and put it on the table.

Chen Bei gritted his teeth and drank another bottle.

Then, Gu Sheng put two more 100-yuan bills on the table and said, "Here, for the third bottle, in addition to the commission, I will give you an extra 3 yuan."

The foreman hurriedly bowed to Gu Sheng and said, "Mr. Gu, you've spent a lot of money..." Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and the other party immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything more, nor daring to persuade him to stop.

Chen Bei's head was already dizzy, but if he drank another bottle, he would get another 300. He understood that the other party was using tiered prices to lure him in little by little, but... the money was indeed real.

"Okay, I'll drink it."

After Chen Bei drank the third bottle, he felt dizzy and had to hold on to the coffee table to avoid falling down.

Gu Sheng smiled and put another 300 on the table, "Fun..." A young man next to him quickly joined in, "Then have another bottle."

Just one bottle, we're having a blast."

Of course Chen Bei wanted to quit while he was ahead and drink three bottles to get a total of 3. However, several young masters and their followers came over at once.

Chen Bei took a look and smiled bitterly. This was deliberately directed at him.

"Is this really the last bottle?"

Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "...of course."

The people led by Gu Sheng surrounded Chen Bei. If he didn't say anything, he really felt that they were going to beat him, but Chen Bei knew that if they wanted to beat him, they would find an alley or something like that.

So, it won’t be here, nor now, but if I don’t drink, I will definitely not be able to go back safely tonight.

Chen Bei had no choice but to pick up the fourth bottle of wine. The alcohol was rising strongly. He shook his head and drank one sip after another. After a while, he felt numb.

As soon as Chen Bei finished drinking, he fell straight down. Gu Sheng quickly stood up, fearing that he would dirty his shoes. Then, he picked up the 600 cash on the table and threw it on Chen Bei.

"Did you get it?"

Another young man replied with a smile, "Don't worry, we have captured everything, starting from the first bottle."

Gu Sheng then looked back at Chen Bei. "The commission for 4 bottles is 400. Here's 600 in cash. I'm not kidding you, am I?"

Seeing the man pretending to be dead, Gu Sheng deliberately kicked him and said, "Don't worry, we live in a society ruled by law. I can't do anything to you... Chen Bei, don't harass Shen Jiaojiao in the future."

The assistant next to him helped to pick up his coat. The foreman next to him had already realized that this was a deliberate attempt to make trouble and did not dare to help Chen Bei.

Chen Bei had a splitting headache and murmured in a trance, "Shen... Jiao... Jiao..."

A young man nearby came over and squatted beside him, "Yeah, is Shen Jiaojiao someone you can dream of?

4 bottles of wine today, not a punishment...

Who asked Mr. Lu to be so generous and let us come to you to bring you warmth? You kid made 1000 yuan in one go, yuan, yuan, yuan, yuan."

Several people left. Gu Sheng looked down on Chen Bei, and finally found out where he worked part-time, so he brought his followers with him.

The alcohol in the karaoke bar is not that expensive, so a commission of 100 is reasonable.

But punishment is punishment, and in the end, a group of people just said a few words and successfully put all the blame on Lu Shize. This is really satisfying.

Chen Bei, if you hate it, then do something quickly?

Remember, you have to deal with Lu Shize... I'm waiting to see what happens.

As for me, I'm just here 'on orders', this matter has nothing to do with me.
