628: Chapter 628: Fury!

Aunt Zhou left behind by Xu Qianli had been an old neighbor in the community, and the two families had always had a good relationship.

Especially Aunt Zhou’s only daughter, named Jiang Zihan, whom he had always treated as a sister.

He had just noticed that Aunt Zhou was in trouble, so he deliberately stayed behind with her.

Aunt Zhou’s nose soured, her eyes reddened, and tears fell uncontrollably as she wiped them away, saying, “Zihan, Zihan, she…

wuwuwu…”

Aunt Zhou couldn’t finish her words, she just cried continuously, sobbing loudly.

Chen Wen said, “Let me say it.

Hong Yu, I know you and Zihan have been close since childhood and you’ve always treated her like a sister.

You need to prepare yourself.

Zihan…

she’s gone.”

Boom, Xu Qianli was completely stunned.

What, his sister whom he had treated as such since childhood, always by his side like a little shadow, always sweetly calling him ‘Brother Hong Yu,’ was gone?

How could a living person just be gone?

After a moment of silence, Xu Qianli took a deep breath, “Mom, what on earth happened?

What happened to Sister Zihan?

What does it mean she’s gone?

Was she kidnapped or went missing or something?”

Xu Qianli still clung to some hope, some fantasy, hoping that the so-called ‘gone’ just meant kidnapped or missing.

Chen Wen smiled bitterly and shook her head, “No, she wasn’t kidnapped, nor is she missing; she really is gone.

She was gone early this year.”

Despair!

Suddenly, Xu Qianli felt a tightness in his chest, struggled to breathe, and his body swayed as if to fall.

Luckily, Ding Meixin was beside him, quickly holding him, “Calm down, just calm down!”

Ding Meixin did not know Jiang Zihan, but she could see that Xu Qianli’s feelings for Zihan were very deep, otherwise he wouldn’t have reacted like this.

Finally calming down a bit, Xu Qianli stepped forward and held Aunt Zhou’s arms, “Aunt Zhou, don’t cry anymore.

Tell me, how could Zihan who was so young be gone?”

“Okay, I won’t cry, I won’t cry.

I will tell you everything…”

Aunt Zhou wiped her tears and recounted the whole situation once through.

Earlier this year, Jiang Zihan, who was a senior in college, interned at a quite sizable company in Quyang City.

At that time, Zihan said that this job opportunity was hard to come by, and she would definitely cherish it.

But after working for two days, she looked worried and said she wanted to resign.

The next morning, she went to the company to resign, and soon after Aunt Zhou received the terrible news that she had committed suicide by jumping from a building!

The person in charge of investigating this matter was Zang Guohua, a cousin of Zhao Qiang.

It was ruled a suicide with no evidence of homicide, presumably caused by a depressive episode.

Aunt Zhou refused to believe it, her daughter Jiang Zihan was a bright, cheerful senior in college, never showing signs of depression, and moreover, she was going to resign from the company, so how could she suddenly kill herself without any signs.

Regarding the suicide, Aunt Zhou wouldn’t accept it and insisted on investigating it as a homicide, but unfortunately, she couldn’t provide any evidence and could only seek help from Xu Zhi, a lawyer.

With Xu Zhi’s help, they had already made several discoveries during this time, pointing towards the company CEO Wang Dazheng.

Jiang Zihan might have been driven to her death by him.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t any solid evidence, and the case had been dragging on until now.

Aunt Zhou had almost lost hope, but today she saw a turning point.

Xu Qianli, who had grown up under her watch and had always been close to her daughter Jiang Zihan, had returned and, surprisingly, had become the Deputy County Magistrate.

Moreover, he had connections with the top officials in Quyang City, so she thought of asking Xu Qianli for help.

However, she also knew that the matter was thorny, perhaps affecting Xu Qianli’s future, so she had just held back from speaking up.

Having learned about the situation, Xu Qianli took several deep breaths, trying hard to remain calm and not let anger cloud his mind.

Barely keeping his calm, Xu Qianli looked toward his father Xu Zhi, “Dad, you said the investigation might be linked to that company’s boss Wang Dazheng.

What led you to this conclusion?”

“I used various methods and gathered from many employees of that company that Wang Dazheng had a particular fondness for women, especially young women, more specifically college students.”

“That company consistently recruits female college students as interns, paying no attention to their school ranking or abilities, only caring about their attractiveness.”

“In recent years, at least five female college students from that company have committed suicide by jumping off buildings, and two others have gone missing.”

“Most crucially, before Zihan’s fatal fall, she had been called to Wang Dazheng’s office!”

Xu Zhi listed his findings one by one.

From these, he had inferred that it was very likely Wang Dazheng’s doing.

Xu Qianli said, “With all this evidence, why can’t it be turned into a criminal investigation?”

Xu Zhi replied, “The only reason is someone’s interference.

That person is Zhao Qiang’s uncle Zang Guohua.

He has been suppressing Zihan’s case, claiming my evidence isn’t conclusive and proves nothing, keeping it all buried!”

Xu Qianli clenched his teeth in fury, “So it was that bastard!”

Xu Zhi asked, “Hong Yu, what do you plan to do?

Are you thinking of reaching out to Secretary Ding or Mayor Qin for help, to have them turn this into a criminal case for investigation?”

“That would be too slow, and it would give that Wang Dazheng a chance to eradicate all incriminating evidence!”

“I cannot wait that long; I must act fast to take him down!”

As he spoke, Xu Qianli took out his phone and made a call to Zi Yumo, asking her to immediately assemble some forces and rush to Wangdong Province!

After Xu Qianli finished the call, Xu Zhi said, “Hong Yu, are you sure this is appropriate?

After all, this is Wangdong Province, not Longhai Province.

Deploying police force from Longhai Province here isn’t regular procedure.

If things escalate, you might not only lose your deputy position but could also be expelled from public office.”

Xu Qianli replied, “Dad, I am well aware of the consequences, but I can’t care about that anymore!

I have always treated Zihan as my own sister, and now that someone has killed her, I will never let it go!

I wouldn’t mind losing my job or even my life to avenge her!”

He could no longer suppress his rage; waves of anger shot to his head, and Xu Qianli’s body trembled slightly with every hair on end.

He was truly enraged, completely furious!

In the past, no matter who offended him, he could still maintain a degree of restraint.

But not this time.

He couldn’t control himself, and his entire being was consumed by fury.

Revenge, revenge, as her brother, he would avenge his poor sister Zihan no matter what!

No matter who bullied her, no matter who drove her to death, no matter how powerful or influential, he would slaughter that person!
