Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: Old Tricks Repeated 14

Speaking of this, Chen Yun was indignant. “Such a degenerate of society—it’s bewildering. Five years ago, he suddenly transformed and became Luo Ying, using Luo Ying’s identity to join the military. Outwardly, he claimed he was off in another city making a fortune. Not a single person who knew him was aware that he’d enlisted.”

“Swapping identities, exchanging Luo Ying’s file photo for his own—such actions aren’t something a small-time thug could accomplish on his own. This indicates someone was helping Luo Jinsheng,” Xing Ye said.

He Teng nodded, agreeing with Xing Ye’s assessment, but there was something he couldn’t understand. “Given someone with Luo Jinsheng’s character, military pay isn’t high, there are no perks, constant limitations, and the need to endure rigorous training… Why would someone like Luo Jinsheng, a thug, go to such great lengths to join the military?”

“I haven’t finished yet.” Chen Yun called out to both Xing Ye and He Teng before continuing slowly, “It’s said that Luo Ying’s transfer from Y City to the capital’s military unit was orchestrated by the Gu Family.”

This left Xing Ye and He Teng stunned. They simultaneously asked, “The Gu Family?”

Chen Yun nodded. “Exactly! The Gu Family! Now let me ask you—should we summon Principal Gu for questioning?”

Without waiting for Xing Ye and He Teng to respond, Chen Yun directly made the decision. “Of course we should! We should make a grand show of inviting Principal Gu to cooperate with the questioning. Imagine this: right now, Gu En has become a fugitive, and Gu En, no matter what, was once the adopted daughter of the Gu Family. If I, as the bureau chief, personally call upon Principal Gu for cooperation with the investigation, even just hinting publicly that the Gu Family is under investigation—do you think the capital would immediately descend into chaos?”

Needless to say, it would definitely stir up immense disorder.

“Be cautious in how you act. Don’t let the Gu Family catch hold of anything against you,” Xing Ye warned.

Chen Yun nodded. “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I’ll make sure the Gu Family knows exactly who’s behind this but can’t provide any evidence to prove it—it’ll infuriate them! These kinds of tricks, the Gu Family often plays them. Who knows? It’s possible that Gu En picked up her skills straight from them.”

Chen Yun didn’t go all out, leading a large group of people to formally invite Gu Hengyuan. After all, Gu Hengyuan’s status was well-established, and it wasn’t up to Chen Yun to just take him away for questioning.

However, Chen Yun was shrewd enough to leak the news, claiming that Gu Hengyuan was being investigated for abuse of power and would undergo questioning. Then, he ensured journalists captured a few photographs of him seeking Gu Hengyuan out—this alone was more than sufficient.

Gu Hengyuan himself hadn’t anticipated that Chen Yun’s investigation into the murder of a soldier would eventually land on him. Though he knew that Chen Yun’s intentions were far from good, he still chose to meet Chen Yun in his own office.

“I wonder what Chief Chen has come to investigate about me during your busy schedule?” Gu Hengyuan gestured for him to sit, signaling for his staff to leave the room before directly asking. He was currently at his busiest, with preparations for the upcoming military parade.

Chen Yun didn’t waste any words. He immediately laid out the findings before Gu Hengyuan and said, “The murdered soldier, Luo Ying, stole another person’s identity to enlist. His real identity is Luo Jinsheng, a habitual criminal. Our investigation revealed that Luo Ying’s transfer from Y City to the capital military unit was ordered by you, Principal Gu. I’m wondering whether you were aware that Luo Ying wasn’t truly Luo Ying, but rather Luo Jinsheng? What’s the reason, Principal Gu, for transferring an impostor soldier into the capital’s military unit?”
