The world is like a vast dye vat, containing all of humanity within it. The human heart is inscrutable. It can be very expensive or worth nothing at all.
It seems that Old Zhao is the Black Boss, but he does not embody the darkness that people often associate with that title. Unlike those who appear righteous yet commit heinous acts behind closed doors, he operates in a different manner.
The news of the explosion and fire at Lakeside University quickly spread across the internet, soaring to the top of trending topics. In no time, both the principal and the mayor faced a barrage of criticism from netizens everywhere. Rescue teams and firefighters rushed to the scene at lightning speed after receiving the alert, immediately beginning their efforts to extinguish the flames and save lives. After a thorough search, it was confirmed that no one had died; only a few sustained minor injuries.
In the mayor's office, the mayor was so anxious that he nearly considered jumping out of the window. Suddenly, his phone rang, and he rushed to answer it as if it were a lifeline.
"Hua Baiwei! You finally called! People online are ready to tear me apart! What on earth were you thinking causing such a commotion? Using explosives? If I had known you were going to do this, I would have never agreed!"
"Relax, what’s there to panic about? I told you I’ve got your back."
"You make it sound easy, but how are we going to wrap this up?"
"It's fine. I've arranged for someone to turn themselves in. No one died; just some minor injuries. You can place all the blame on him. Later, just issue a statement saying the culprit has been caught."
"And make sure that person is apprehended quickly. By the way, regarding your son’s situation, I’ll send someone over right away."
Upon hearing about his son, the mayor's demeanor changed instantly; he smiled and eagerly agreed.
No one can resist temptation when it comes to benefits; if they do, it's simply because the offered incentives aren't substantial enough. The higher one climbs in so-called power structures, the more chaotic and corrupt it becomes.
The person Hua Baiwei mentioned soon turned himself in. Within an hour of his confession, the mayor released a statement, and immediately afterward, the principal of Lakeside University issued one as well. It’s likely that only Old Zhao knew why the principal felt compelled to speak out.
The police department also quickly announced the news of the suspect’s confession. With these three joint statements, netizens’ anger subsided within less than half an hour.
While public outrage had calmed down, Ouyang Zhirou, Lin Mu Xi, and Hu Yao were far from placated; their anger only intensified. Ouyang Zhirou had already arrived in the eastern district of the city. The first thing she did upon arrival was storm into a place frequently visited by Ouyang Xiong, bursting through the door and immediately starting to smash things.
"Ouyang Xiong! You don’t care about my life anymore, do you? I almost died at Lakeside University!"
Ouyang Xiong was so startled that the cigar in his hand slipped and fell onto the carpet. He quickly stomped it out and rushed over to Ouyang Zhirou, who was covered in dust. He immediately began to shout.
"Who the hell did this? Who dares to touch my precious daughter? Someone get over here! I swear I'll make them pay!"
Then, he switched to a softer tone, leaning closer to Ouyang Zhirou. "My daughter, who did this to you? Tell Daddy, and I'll make sure you get justice. Was it that little brat Zhao Lun?"
Mentioning Zhao Lun made Ouyang Zhirou clench her fists tightly, her face filled with worry and resentment.
"It was Hua Yu Yan!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Xiong immediately thought of Hua Baiwei, that Hua Diao, the man who could pull strings over the mayor and governor. His status was the highest among their group, commanding an army and a faction that answered only to him.
Of course, Hua Baiwei had his own ambitions; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sitting among them back then, straddling the line between right and wrong.
"Damn that Hua Diao! Just wait for me; I’m going to call for help right now!"
With that, Ouyang Xiong turned and left the room, heading straight into another room where he locked the door and dialed Zhao Changsheng's number.
