Chapter 713 Frustrated
Was it really not arranged by Li Yancheng?
This was the question Qin Zhenye had been pondering all afternoon.

He thought long and hard but still didn't dare tell his father-in-law about Shen Hongyan being beaten, because he couldn't bring himself to say why she was beaten. Of course, he also harbored a sliver of hope.

What if?

Similarly, he did not just sit and wait for his fate, but went to the Beijing Municipal Commission of Supervision after leaving the local police station.

He was reluctant to hand over the case of his wife being beaten to the Public Security Bureau. He believed that if the two women who beat her were indeed arranged by Li Yancheng, no level of the Public Security Bureau would be able to find any problems.

It's not about covering up or anything like that; he thinks it's completely unnecessary. Li Yancheng has worked in the Social Affairs Bureau and the Public Security Bureau, two units that deal with all kinds of criminals, for nearly twenty years. If he needs someone to cover up for him in doing this kind of thing, then he would be a complete failure.

Therefore, he wants to apply for supervision by the supervisory committee.

It wasn't that he trusted the Beijing Municipal Supervisory Commission, but rather that he wanted to make a big fuss about it, so big that no one would dare to cover it up, so big that the case would be scrutinized under a microscope by all parties.

At that time, someone will naturally step forward to supervise him.

……

Is it really just a coincidence?
Li Yancheng spent the entire afternoon pondering this question.

"Jingle Bell"

The ringing of the phone brought Li Yancheng back to his senses. He let out a soft breath and leaned over to answer the phone.

"Hey"

"Director Li, it's me, Lao Xia."

"Director Xia, hello."

The call was from Deputy Director Xia of the Municipal Supervisory Commission.

When he heard that it was him calling, Li Yancheng didn't pay any attention. He had always had a good relationship with Deputy Director Xia, and since Xia was currently dealing with disciplinary cases stemming from the gun theft case, he assumed it was about that matter again, so he greeted him normally.

"Director Li, you know Qin Zhenye, right?"

???

Li Yancheng was slightly taken aback and replied, "I know this person, but I've never dealt with him. What's wrong, Director Xia?"

"Never dealt with them before?"

Li Yancheng frowned; he sensed something was off.

"It's not that we've never had any dealings, his daughter Qin Qing..."

He then recounted what had happened that morning, and as he spoke, he realized why Lao Xia had made that phone call.

"Director Xia, did... Qin Zhenye come to your office to apply for supervision?"

"Hehe, I knew you'd figure it out. That's right, he's only been gone for less than ten minutes. Director Che has given this task to Old Chen."

Just before I called you, Lao Chen had already personally led a team to the Wenchong branch.

The key word is "personally".

Just as Li Yancheng was about to speak, Deputy Director Xia on the other end of the phone didn't give him a chance to speak and continued.

"Director Li, I trust your character, but the problem is that this is just too much of a coincidence."

“I understand what you mean. Not to mention you, I also think it’s too much of a coincidence. I can understand Comrade Qin Zhenye’s feelings. It is perfectly normal for him to apply for supervision by your supervisory committee.”

"Okay, Lao Xia, could you please talk to Director Che and Deputy Director Chen for me? If there's anything they need my cooperation with, I'll definitely do my best to help. Let's try to get this case cleared up. I don't like being suspected."

"Good, it's good that you have this attitude. I will pass on your message to Director Che."

call……

After hanging up the phone, Li Yancheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The storm is coming!
……

"Qin Zhenye has already applied for the supervisory commission to intervene and supervise him."

At the dinner table, Li Yancheng casually spoke to his wife sitting opposite him while eating.

"What, does he suspect that you hired those two people?"

Luo Min, who had just picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, paused, and the food she had just picked up fell back into the plate. She looked up at her husband and asked.

"That's normal. If it were me, I would have doubts too."

Li Yancheng nodded nonchalantly: "After all, the timing of those two women's appearance was just too coincidental. To be honest, wife, when I first heard about it, I really thought it was your arrangement."

"Me? I wouldn't stoop to doing something like that. If I want to deal with her, I'll do it myself. Why would I need to rely on someone else?"

That's true. Li Yancheng believed what his wife said was true; she would never stoop to using such underhanded methods.

That's exactly right. They clearly have the strength to push forward easily, but they insist on taking a roundabout and circuitous route. What else could that be but a sign of being crazy?

Li Yancheng felt somewhat ashamed. After learning the news that morning, he had suspected his wife, thinking that she had arranged it. Now it seemed that the two women were not arranged by her after all.

"hey-hey"

He smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, honey. When Zhihai told me this morning, my first thought was that you made it."

"Humph"

Luo Min rolled her eyes at her man, a gesture that exuded charm.

"Don't you think about it? Where am I supposed to get those photos in such a short time?"

"You're right, I didn't think of that at the time, but it's no wonder people suspect me, it's just..."

“I understand what you mean,” Luo Min interrupted her man before he could finish speaking.

"Dacheng, do you think it's possible that this was indeed done on purpose? Or to put it another way, it's true that Shen Hongyan's private life is chaotic, but the timing of these two women's appearance was manipulated."

Born into the Luo family and married to Li Yancheng for many years, she had seen far too many of these unsavory and shameful things.

"It's hard to say right now."

Li Yancheng picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and after swallowing it, he continued, "I also hope that this matter can be simple and just a matter of lifestyle, but if someone deliberately arranged it, hehe, I definitely won't let him get away with it."

"Would you like to have a chat with Old Shen?"

"No need," Li Yancheng shook his head without hesitation and said, "I believe that Elder Shen must have his own judgment on this matter. If I take the initiative to call him, I will be at a disadvantage."

These old comrades have seen it all, so how could they easily fall into a trap?

He wasn't wrong. Apart from a fleeting thought of Li Yancheng when he first heard the news of his daughter being beaten, Comrade Shen quickly realized something was wrong.

It wasn't that he trusted Li Yancheng that much, but rather that he knew Li Yancheng couldn't possibly be that stupid. If he were truly that foolish, he wouldn't have survived the past few years, much less risen to his current position. "Bang...bang...bang..."

Old Master Shen sat alone in his study, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest of his chair.

His daughter's indiscretions made him feel utterly ashamed, but now was not the time to think about her; he needed to figure out what was behind the incident.

If it were really just what everyone sees, frankly, it wouldn't matter. After all, the deed has already happened, and he can't disown his daughter, nor can his son-in-law divorce her because of it.

The only things we need to consider now are minimizing the impact and finding out if there are any other underlying factors.

His son-in-law went directly to the Municipal Supervisory Commission without consulting him, which made him angry, but he could understand it. However, he was more disappointed than angry.

If you don't think things through carefully when you encounter a problem, and you rush to publicize it, you may seem to be getting the supervisory committee to do oversight, but in fact you are also putting yourself in a situation where you have no way out.

Soon, Old Master Shen shook his head again, putting aside what his daughter and son-in-law had done, and began to ponder the issues behind his daughter being beaten today.

If today's events are not simply a matter of lifestyle, then what exactly do the people who are manipulating all of this want to achieve?
After thinking for a while, Old Master Shen reached over, grabbed the phone on the table, and dialed a number.

"Xiao Liao, it's me."

……

Are you not busy right now?

……

"I'm glad I didn't bother you. I just wanted to ask you about something."

……

"Hey, hey, it's like this, do you know..."

Before long, after getting the answer he wanted, Grandpa Shen hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he let out a long sigh of relief, sat there pondering for a while, then opened a drawer and took out a notebook with phone numbers. After carefully flipping through a few pages, he picked up the phone again and dialed.

"Yan Cheng, it's me, Lao Shen."

"Uncle Shen, hello. I apologize in advance. Comrade Shen Hongyan may have suffered an undeserved misfortune this time."

Grandpa Shen made this call to Li Yancheng. He felt that he had found the key to the problem, so he wanted to communicate with him. However, he did not expect that Li Yancheng would immediately put the matter into the open and also pointed out that he might be implicated.

The words coming through the receiver startled Comrade Shen slightly.

"No, no, no, Yan Cheng, you're wrong. How can you say that Hong Yan suffered an undeserved disaster? Alas, what a misfortune for the family! I, Old Shen, have lived an honest and upright life, how could I have raised such a daughter and granddaughter?"

Li Yancheng, on the other end of the phone, twitched at the corner of his mouth. He didn't reply, wanting to see what else this old comrade Shen could say.

Grandpa Shen didn't dwell on whether his family was fortunate or unfortunate. After complaining a bit about his daughter and granddaughter, he said...

"Yan Cheng, from what you're saying, it seems you also think that the beating of Hong Yan was very likely aimed at you?"

"It's only possible, maybe it's just... cough cough..."

Li Yancheng couldn't continue talking about what was going to happen next, so he could only vaguely gloss over the matter.

"However, in any case, I will urge the Wenchong branch to investigate this matter as soon as possible, and if necessary, I will have headquarters send experts over to provide guidance."

He didn't mention sending someone from the headquarters, just to make a gesture of showing that he wouldn't interfere with the investigation.

"That's perfect. Didn't Comrade Zhenye also ask the Supervisory Commission to oversee this case? I believe the final investigation results shouldn't be affected by any 'human factors'."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Shen on the other end of the phone blushed and almost blurted out, "What a misfortune for the family!"

My granddaughter just made such a huge mess and we don't even know what the final outcome will be. Then my daughter has done this shameful thing. And then my son-in-law went and applied for supervision from the supervisory committee. Does he want everyone to know that he, Old Shen, has raised a "good daughter"?

It's fortunate that Mr. Shen is in relatively good health; otherwise, if three things happened in one day, someone with poor health would have ended up in the hospital.

“Yan Cheng, Zhenye's vision is still too narrow. He has been working in local areas for many years and has not been able to develop a broader perspective. I…”

Before Old Master Shen could finish speaking, Li Yancheng interrupted him.

"Comrade Zhenye's reaction is normal. After all... I can understand. In fact, even if he didn't ask the supervisory committee to supervise him, I would have asked the procuratorate to exercise its power of case supervision. I am also worried that others will smear me."

"Let's not talk about that. If there are any new developments in the case, I will keep you informed to the best of my ability, within the bounds of the law. Also, I heard that Comrade Hongyan's injuries are quite serious. If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask."

Li Yancheng is a member of the expert group of the Health Bureau and has been teaching at the General Hospital for many years. Not to mention Beijing, there is no hospital at the city level or above in the whole country that does not have his students.

Even if he doesn't take action, he can summon several industry experts with just a casual phone call.

Shen Hongyan's injuries today were all visceral, but there were no problems with her internal organs. She doesn't need any specialists; a regular surgeon would suffice.

The reason those two women beat her so badly today was mainly because they caught her off guard.

She didn't know the Li Xiao'e sisters. After hearing the knock, she went to open the door and saw two women standing there asking her if her name was Shen Hongyan. Without any suspicion, she nodded in agreement.

Seeing her nod, Li Xiao'e raised her hand and hit her. She was holding a brick in her hand, and the brick hit Shen Hongyan squarely in the nose.

The stinging sensation of her nose being hit was indescribable; it completely stunned her.

If she hadn't been hit directly in the nose, and had actually fought back and forth with those two women, Li Xiao'e and her sister would never have been able to beat her so badly and escape unscathed.

Upon hearing Li Yancheng mention his daughter's injuries, Old Master Shen's brows twitched involuntarily.

Although he didn't go to the hospital, he knew quite well that although his daughter had already regained consciousness, she had been in a daze because she had suffered a concussion from being hit on the head and had vomited several times after regaining consciousness.

He wanted to go to the hospital to get checked out, but he felt it was too embarrassing.

"Thank you, Yan Cheng. I'll contact you if I need anything."

"You're welcome. Uncle Shen, is there anything else?"

"Uh...that's all. Yan Cheng, please take good care of the case. If there are any other reasons, I hope you won't hide them from me."

"Don't worry about that, I'll hang up now, Uncle Shen."

"it is good"

After hanging up the phone, Comrade Shen raised his hand to rub his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

It's really frustrating.

……

On the other side, Li Yancheng smiled and put down the receiver.

"Let's go for a walk, honey."

"What did Old Master Shen say?" Luo Min asked curiously, seeing the smile on her husband's face.
