Chapter 842: Arson Will Burn Oneself (Part 3)

your grandfather and that old geezer from the Si Kong family hadn't been sworn brothers, the Si Kong family wouldn't have what they have today." 。Xu Chu seemed to be in a spacious room, his words echo..."Xiang Ting, believe me, I can take care of you!" Ye Fan extended his hand and gently wiped the tears from her face.

"But Li Xiangting pushed her away, and said stubbornly, “I don't need you to worry about me, I can take care of myself. Besides, you're still my student! If we're talking about taking care of someone, it should be me taking care of you!”

Ye Fan was speechless. How come all the girls nowadays were so proud In Li Xiangting, he seemed to see the shadow of Murong Xue, that beautiful girl who was also unwilling to lower her noble head easily. Yet, she had given him her whole heart, and he could only choose to leave silently...

Ye Fan's heart was filled with a mix of emotions at that moment.

Ye Fan had no choice but to change the subject. "By the way, Xiang Ting, how come school suddenly changed principals And what about all these personnel changes Putting a teaching teacher in charge of files That's not reasonable at all!"

"Hey, please call me Teacher Li!" Li Xiangting said to Ye Fan coquettishly.

"Oh, it's Teacher Li... But, Hsiang-Ting is more approachable. Anyway, you'll fall for me eventually..."

Li Xiangting: "..."

Ye Fan learned from Li Xiangting's conversation that the former principal of Linhai University had actually done a very good job. For decades, he had been diligent and conscientious in his work, just waiting to retire and enjoy his old age.

But for some reason, ever since the transition of power in Kyoto ended, not only did all the members of the various units on the coast move around, but even the departments changed their main people responsible. As for the president of Liming University, because of the organization's requirements, a capable, thoughtful, and experienced person was sent to manage it again, which is this Du Zilong.

It is said that he has a close relationship with the current leading figure in Linhai City. It was this leading figure who ensured his admission to Linhai University, bypassing the Ministry of Education's process. The Ministry of Education only received the news after Du Zilin arrived at Linhai University, which was highly irregular. However, since higher authorities had already spoken and a formal written document was issued, the Ministry of Education had no choice but to accept it.

After arriving at Linhai University, Du Zilong's first act was to make personnel adjustments. He transferred Li Xiating to the archives department. Other related personnel were moved less significantly.

When Ye Fan heard this, his brows furrowed. Could it be that Du Zilong was specifically targeting Li Xianting Was his main purpose to drive her out

Is this Du Zilong's own meaning, or the meaning of the person behind him Could it be related to Li Shujing Ye Fan felt it was necessary to investigate further, and by chance, he could use Du Zilong as a lead.

At school, besides the change of principal, there's one more thing worth mentioning: the selection of the head of the teaching department. Initially, Head Wang Qin had been promoted to be the vice-principal. However, since Du Zilong arrived, Wang Qin has returned to her position as head of the teaching department. Although she still holds the title of vice-principal, she's primarily responsible for the work of the teaching department and there hasn't been any real change.

This left her feeling confused. Generally speaking, once a promotion was confirmed, it wouldn't be reversed unless there was a serious mistake. But Wang Qin was different. Before she even had the chance to exercise her powers as vice principal, they stripped her of the position. After all that preparation, she was still stuck in her role as head of the teaching department.

She had once gone to the principal to talk, but the principal just dismissed her with a 'This is the school council's decision,' and sent her back. In reality, everyone knew that this was Principal Du intentionally targeting Wang Qin. Or perhaps, in this school, Principal Du wanted to cultivate his own people. He wanted to have absolute control over the school. However, no one dared to speak out because everyone knew that Principal Du had someone backing him up!

As Li Xiangting spoke, her voice trembled with righteous indignation. The more she talked, the more agitated she became. When she reached a particularly poignant point, she would clench her tiny fist and swing it wildly as if Du Zilin were standing right before her. She desperately wished to punch that old bald man to death.

Ye Fan frowned and thought for a moment, saying: "That is to say, this Du Zilong didn't come to power through normal procedures"

"Definitely not, he must have bribed everyone up and down the ranks, otherwise, with his character, he wouldn't be able to get to this position!" Thinking of that bald bastard's ugly face, Li Xiangting couldn't help but feel a surge of anger again.

"Who is the current secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Linhai City" Ye Fan asked.

"His name is Wang Qiuyang, he seems to be from Beijing," Li Xiangting said. She seemed quite familiar with this person who had taken over her father's position.

From Beijing Looks like you have a big background, Ye Fan thought to himself, as if he had figured something out.

Suddenly, he asked again, "What about Lieutenant Colonel Luo Chao Wasn't he the most likely to take over your father's position before What happened to him"

“Him” Li Xiangting said with some resentment, “It seems that Mayor Luo has been constantly targeted by Secretary Wang because of their disagreements on policy. Now I hear that Mayor Luo hasn't left the house for a long time and is effectively under house arrest, deprived of his freedom.”

Ye Fan was startled. As a deputy mayor, how could someone restrict his movements

"Hurry, tell me what happened! How could such an upright mayor like Mayor Luo be restricted from his freedom"

Li Xiangting shook her head and said, "I don't know the specifics. I heard it was the city Discipline Inspection Commission that received a report from the public, so they formed a temporary investigation team to look into his criminal evidence, but it seems there has been no progress."

"To restrict someone's personal freedom without any progress in the investigation Do they intend to wait until they find evidence of Mayor Luo's crimes before releasing him" Ye Fan sneered repeatedly.

I don't know about that, they've always been quite low-key.

"Perhaps it was around that time that Wang Qiuyang took advantage of Mayor Luo's inspection to come to Linhai and become the secretary, right" Ye Fan already had a clear picture in his mind. Wang Qiuyang and Du Zilin could be drawn as a line, and Wang Qiuyang and the Yan family Probably also a line.

If that's really the case, then it seems that both Wang Qiuyang targeting Luo Chao and Du Zilin against Li Xiangting were coming for him. In other words, he had implicated them, but he just didn't know it yet.

Ye Fan suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. How dare someone attack the people around him Unforgivable!

A murderous glint flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, Wang Qiuyang had to be eliminated. As for Du Zilong, he could just use him to test Wang Qiuyang's power in Linhai...

After hearing Ye Fan's question, Li Xiangting interjected: "I don't know about that. Before, our Li family and the Luo family were considered good friends. After something happened to the Luo family, I reached out to some old contacts, but they all treated me with distance and wouldn't tell me anything. Some of them even advised me not to get involved and told me to leave Linhai as soon as possible to avoid getting burned." He continued, "Saying that it's a bottle of wine worth ten million is indeed exaggerating, and I believe no one would buy it. But if I tell you about its other value, I believe you wouldn't think it'...
