Chapter 115: Undercurrent

His tone was understated, but there was a gloom in his eyes.

The person on the other end of the line respectfully answered. He didn't speak anymore and hung up the phone. I stood by the window for a long time, not knowing what I was thinking. He didn't put out the cigarette butt until the light went out in the next window. With a little tiredness between his eyebrows, he unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and headed for the bathroom.

After this incident, the old mansion has been staying here. Someone came over to ask Zhou He's opinion to reinstall the surveillance in the yard, and she acquiesced.

She didn't go out anymore, she stayed in the house. One morning, she turned on her computer as usual, and before she opened her mailbox, she received a news message pushed by a certain website.

The headline on the top is eye-catching, and the bold font reads: Behind a high-ranking official who loves to do public welfare, is there disgraceful corruption and transactions?

Zhou He's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't open the mailbox again, but clicked on the title. This is not the first source, and most of them are screenshots.

Zhou He searched again and found the forum where he posted first.

The post was posted at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and by this time there were more than 10,000 comments. The original author wrote in a questioning tone about the so-called public welfare under Wei Renyi. Some evidence of his bribery was pasted.

Some people below scolded corrupt officials, and some people also talked about the dirty things that were bumped into under Wei Renyi. Some people also say that Wei Renyi has been involved in the underworld, and has always advocated the life of those who follow me, and the death of those who oppose me.

These revelations have undoubtedly pushed the topic to a new level, and the number of views and comments has skyrocketed. There was a time when the website went down because of too much traffic.

Because the post was sent in the early hours of the morning, it has not attracted the attention of the other side. Otherwise, such a post would not have existed for so long, and it would have had such a large number of views and public opinion.

Zhou He knew that this post should have been sent by Cheng Wei's people. It shouldn't be long before the post is deleted, but the more it is deleted at this time, the more it will be without three hundred taels of silver. He won this battle.

It's just that if you suffer such a big loss, the other party will definitely be annoyed and angry. There will be an immediate counterattack.

Zhou He's heart was heavy, and he was not in the mood to translate the manuscript for a while. I was stunned for a while, then I pulled down the comments and looked at them one by one.

As she expected, by nine o'clock, the post was deleted. The more you delete this kind of thing, the more exciting it can be for you. Posts about this started going out on the forums.

The forum was overwhelmed by the pressure from above, and was finally forced to close and could not be opened at all.

But the website couldn't be opened, and netizens went to other websites, and for a while posts about Wei Renyi were flying all over the sky. The speed at which posts are deleted is not at all comparable to the speed at which posts are made.

The corresponding measures were quickly taken over there, and an official website posted an article to refute rumors, saying that the article was pure nonsense. They will hold the rumormongers accountable.

As soon as this measure came out, not only did it fail to suppress public opinion, but it set off another round of climax. At the bottom of the article, some people left messages, asking why they deleted those posts since they were just rumors.

There are more people this time, and it should be in a hurry over there, and now it is said that someone is dominating public opinion, so that everyone should not blindly believe it.

But such responses were of little use, with some commenting sarcastically asking them what they were covering.

It's a lot bigger than you think. In the end, they simply stopped responding, and wanted to downplay the matter in a silent way.

But the matter did not just fade down like this, and someone broke the news again. Wei Renyi's side wanted to downplay this matter in a silent way, but he didn't really care about anything. The revelations are all true, and they are not confident enough to ignore them.

So while not responding, he frantically deleted the post. This move was undoubtedly offensive, and various posts continued.

Mr. Wei didn't show up until all sorts of anonymous reports filled the official mailbox. Under pressure, he stepped forward.

However, he did not come forward to be investigated. Instead, he held a press conference, stood in front of the camera with a frank and upright look, and told the public that he had offended one party's forces because of his official business, so he was smeared like this. But he is self-purifying, and he is not afraid of the other party's rumors.

He obviously wanted to try to save his image, and he was humble and polite. The questions asked by the reporter should have been discussed in advance, and they were all helpful to him to improve his image.

He obviously has an effect in this way, and most people no longer speak fiercely, but no longer make any remarks with the attitude of eating melons and watching the show. Others are questioning why he does not stop for inspection. However, there will be no reply to such topics.

After this press conference, Wei Renyi did not appear in public again, and continued to work. And those slightly more sensitive posts were gradually deleted. Things are going to fade like that.

This is to be expected, if Wei Renyi is brought down so easily, it is impossible for him to still be at large after doing so many shady things.

Her heart sank. Although this is not a head-to-head confrontation, it can be seen from this incident that Wei Renyi's position is stable. Otherwise, it would be impossible to work as if nothing had happened after such a scandal was exposed. No investigation was conducted.

During this time, Cheng Wei could hardly see anyone. And on the side of the old house, there are no strangers coming over.

Wei Renyi's whitewashing came faster than expected. In mid-October, some media exposed a list of what he had been funding over the years. A long long list of students who are currently funding were also organized to express their gratitude to Wei Renyi in front of the camera. Of course, there is also Wei Renyi's appearance in various public welfare over the years.

and vaguely raised the factional disputes in the past few years, saying that it was another opposing faction that smeared Wei Renyi.

Everyone only saw the appearance, and for a while, public opinion leaned towards Wei Renyi's side. And scolded the person who posted it for having bad intentions. hung up the character of Wei Renyi as a good man.

This blow was a beautiful counterattack on his side, not only did he turn around, but he also successfully opened up his favorability.

Zhou He knew that it was almost impossible to use Internet public opinion to force him to suspend his job and be examined. She wanted to call Xu Yuanning's phone number several times to ask, but in the end she still didn't call.

Because, even if she asked, she couldn't help anything.

At this time, Cheng Wei was also anxious. Li Jing and Luo Wen both arrived in his study, Li Jing's face was gloomy, and he said, "Mr. Cheng, what should I do now?"

No one thought that Wei Renyi would be so shameless, and even transferred this matter to the factional dispute. successfully pulled a wave of favorability for him.

Cheng Wei stretched out his hand to support his eyebrows, and after a while, he asked, "Is there any news from Kyoto?"

Li Jing replied, "Not yet." His fists were clenched tightly, obviously unable to bear it anymore, and said, "You should go up and slaughter Old Dog Wei directly." ”

Cheng Wei raised his head, glanced at him lightly, and said, "Do you think you might be close to him?"

He didn't think about directly assassinating him. There was one time in the beginning, when the security guards around Wei Renyi were far less than now, but it was a failure.

Wei Renyi has done enough bad things, and he has always cherished his life. Let's just say that even if he sleeps, there will be two bodyguards outside his door.

Moreover, he easily does not stay in an unfamiliar place for too long. The places that appear are prepared in advance. It would be easier said than done to assassinate him. There is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Li didn't speak for a while, and after a minute or two, he said: "As long as you open your mouth, I'll try, even if it fails, I will never bother you." ”

There was a look of determination on his face.

Cheng Wei glanced at him lightly, took out a cigarette to light it, and said lightly: "No one knows Wei Renyi better than me, you went over, but you were just making a senseless sacrifice." Don't let me hear that again. ”

Tiredness appeared on his face, and before they could speak, he waved his hand and said, "Go out and rest, and I will call you over if there is something to do." ”

Li Jing and Luo Wen were silent, and only exited the house after a while.

Cheng Wei sat on the sofa and didn't move, and after a while took out a cigarette and smoked it. It's been a while since he's seen Zhou He, and he wants to go over. But I don't know why, but I sat and didn't get up.

Zhou He didn't do anything all day, just sat in front of the computer, watching over and over again the videos of the students who had been organized and sponsored by Wei Renyi to go to school thanks.

She knew that Wei Renyi had made a beautiful turnaround. It will not be easy to bring him down again this time, and there must be current substantial evidence.

When she saw this video, she didn't know why, she inexplicably remembered what Li Peiyuan had said.

Wei Renyi is so bold, this kind of thing is definitely not the first time. He was consciously powerful, and that time he was suppressed again, and he didn't reveal any rumors, so it was impossible for him to be restrained. Even if it is convergence, it will be short-lived. So, there will be victims.

Zhou He watched the video over and over again, and the childish faces in front of her made her heart heavy. She closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

After a long time, she opened her eyes again. looked at the list of children she had printed out and that Wei Renyi had sponsored.

The list is long, all of them are children from poor mountainous areas. There are them everywhere. And with this list alone, nothing can be seen. She watched it for a while, and then searched for news about Wei Renyi's visit to the place from the evening. He would put it on that list whenever and wherever he went.

After the operation, her body was not as good as before, and she only did a quarter of what she did in the early hours of the morning. Feeling a little dizzy in front of her, she stopped. I went downstairs and made a glass of sugar and boiled water to drink.

No matter how anxious she is, she can't rush it. She slowed down for a while, went upstairs and didn't continue, turned off the computer and lay on the bed.

She had a lot on her mind, but she was still too tired, and she fell asleep in a daze after not long after she collapsed on the bed.

It took Zhou He two days to sort out Wei Renyi's itinerary. There are mostly a few sentences on the Internet, and some of them she found out after looking for old newspapers.

For the past two days, she has locked herself in her room. When the aunt asked, she excused herself by saying that she had a manuscript to rush.

sorted out the things, she originally wanted to call Cheng Wei to come and get them. I took out my phone but paused.

Cheng Wei is now a thorn in Wei Renyi's side, and he must be staring at him tightly. It was obviously inconvenient for him to act.

Zhou He put his phone aside and looked at the address on the list again. She lost her mind when she looked at it, and sat still in a daze.

The scheduled follow-up was next week, and she went for the follow-up the next day. She is in good health, and she recovers very quickly. The doctor asked her if she had any headaches recently and if there was anything uncomfortable.

Zhou He, except that his body is still relatively weak and his hands and feet are still not as sensitive as before, he has almost recovered. The doctor did not prescribe any further medicine, just let her recuperate.

Zhou He thanked the doctor and went home.

She went over to review before the time for the re-examination arrived, and Cheng Wei naturally knew about it. When he returned, he was already in the house.

Zhou He was stunned when he saw him. He walked quickly to her, looked at her with deep eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou He shook his head and said, "There's nothing uncomfortable, just go over and ask the doctor." After a slight pause, she lowered her head and said, "It's boring to stay here every day, and I plan to go out and live for a while." ”

Her body had just gotten up, and Cheng Wei didn't expect her to go out. I couldn't help but be stunned for a while. Then I remembered that she had been staying in the yard since the yellow hair appeared, and the atmosphere was not easy. He was silent for a moment before asking, "Where are ......you going?"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou He, she looked up at him and said, "No need, I'll just go over by myself." ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't look at Cheng Wei, and walked directly to the house.

Cheng Wei stood in the courtyard outside for a long time, not knowing when he left.

Zhou He thought that he would not come over, but who knew that in the evening, he came over again and said, "Your current body, whether it is your Senior Brother Xu or your little uncle will not be at ease when you go out." I'll arrange for someone to send you over, and they won't disturb your recuperation. ”

Zhou Yi didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he lowered his head and said, "No need, I know my own body." I'm going to recuperate, and nothing will happen. ”

Cheng Wei obviously came prepared, wanted to touch the cigarette, but stopped his movements, and said: "You know the current situation, that group of people are crazy......

He didn't say anything about this, but Zhou He knew what he meant. She smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Cheng is too worried. I'm not a kid and I'll be safe. Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and then said: "In the past few years abroad, the security over there has not been very good, don't I come here too? ”

Her tone was rusty and cold.

Cheng Wei's body stiffened slightly, but in the end he took a step back and said, "With your current physical condition, I have consulted a doctor, and it is not recommended to go out alone." He paused slightly, and shouted outside, "Yanxu, come in." ”

Zhou He didn't expect him to bring someone over, and when he looked back at the courtyard, he saw a little girl in her early twenties with short hair and sportswear walking in.

She looked taciturn, stopped a few steps away, and called out respectfully, "Miss Zhou." ”

Before Zhou He could react, Cheng Wei said: "During this time, Yan Xu will follow." I'm not going to let anyone else follow. When your health is better, I won't ask you where you want to go in the future. ”

His tone was low, obviously compromising after compromise.

Zhou He knew that since he had already arranged it, he would not allow her to change it. She fell silent and did not speak.

Cheng Wei really didn't allow her to refuse, and then said: "From today on, Yan Xu will always follow you." I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou He to speak, and walked outside. Leave Zhou He and the little girl in the courtyard.

The little girl did not speak, but stood upright.

Since Cheng Wei had ordered, it was impossible for her to leave. Zhou He was silent for a moment, but finally said, "Come in." ”

Yan promised yes and followed her into the house.

She didn't sit down when she entered the room, she just stood straight.

Zhou He was a little helpless and said, "You can do it yourself." Don't feel uncomfortable. ”

Yan Xu agreed, paused, and said, "I can do anything, Miss Zhou, please tell me if there is anything you need to do." ”

She is completely a tendon.

Zhou He said: "There is nothing to do here, the food is cooked by the aunt." There's a room upstairs, and if you want to rest, I'll take you up. ”

Yan Xu said no, walked to the sofa and sat down with his back straight.

So sitting dry is boring, Zhou He turned on the TV for her, gave her the remote control, and then went upstairs.

She didn't expect Cheng Wei to let people join her at all, originally there was no fixed place, but now she had to settle on the place. In the evening, I simply packed my luggage and asked if there was anything to pack.

Yan Xu replied that he did not. All her belongings are in her simple backpack.

Zhou He didn't bring much stuff, he brought simple medicine and a change of clothes, and nothing else.

Yan Xu was a little surprised that she only brought simple luggage, but she didn't say anything.

Zhou He went to the city next door, and the two did not take a plane, but took a train. Yan Xu said that there was silence all the way. Zhou He didn't speak, just kept looking out the window.

Cheng Wei should have been advised, and her care for Zhou He can be called meticulous. The water she drinks is always lukewarm, and she will quietly prepare everything she wants to do in advance.

Let her take care of herself as a little girl, Zhou He is not careful. Let her rest on her own, and leave her alone. Words and promises are silent, and they are still doing what they should do.

The neighbouring city is not far away, but it is only six hours away. Zhou He had already booked the hotel, and took a taxi to the hotel after getting off the train.

In the past, she didn't think that she was tired after sitting in the car for so long. When he arrived at the hotel, he said to Yan Xu: "You can go wherever you want, and I won't go out." ”

If she doesn't go out, Yan Xu will naturally not go out. Tell Zhou He that she has been in the next room and that she needs to be called if there is anything she needs.

Zhou He was very tired, nodded perfunctorily, and went into the room to rest.

She slept in the evening, opened her eyes and took her phone to check the time, then sat up, got up and went to wash.

Yan Xu didn't know if she had eaten at this time, she originally wanted to call her, but she hesitated a little to dispel this idea.

She originally thought that she would not find out if she went out like this, but who knew that as soon as she opened the door and went out, Yan Xu walked out of the next room and said, "Miss Zhou, what do you want to eat, if you don't want to leave, you can also eat in the hotel, they have a lot of specialties here." ”

I don't know how she knew she came out, the biggest possibility is that she kept looking out from the room. Such a boring thing is obviously not easy for a young girl

Zhou He tried his best to make a calm appearance and said, "You can eat anything." ”

The two still didn't go out in the end, and had dinner in the hotel. As I said, the specialties here are good.

After eating, she asked Zhou He if he wanted to go out for a walk. Zhou He said no.

Yan Xu asked her about tomorrow's arrangements and asked if she wanted to call a good car. Rest here tonight, Ming'er is going to the attraction.

At her young age, she arranges things unequivocally. Zhou He didn't want to delay the time here, so he said that he would go to the scenic spot after breakfast early.

Yan Xu agreed, watched her enter the room, and then entered the room.

I slept during the day, and I couldn't sleep when I was lying in bed. She took out the notebook she had brought with her, opened it and looked at the things she had organized.

She looked at it over and over again, and when her eyes were tired, she turned off the computer. Then I stood by the window and looked at the night scene outside.

Before she came here, she planned to avoid talking at the hotel. But now it seems that Yan Xu is very vigilant, and it is not easy to get rid of her. I can only wait until the attraction to make plans.

She was a little agitated, turned to face the room, closed her eyes and leaned against the window.

It was cold on the glass window, and my mind was much clearer at night. She stood for a moment, took out the list again, studied it carefully, and did not fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

She didn't sleep well in a strange place, and woke up early the next day. When she got up, she was already up, still coming out of the next room when she opened the door. Accompanied her to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast.
