<h4>Chapter 353: Chapter 352: The Meticulous Su Li</h4>


    Deng Wencheng, "Su Province, Donghai City, currently serving as the Secretary of the Donghai City Political and Legal Affairs Commission."


    Upon hearing this,


    Xu Wendong felt a deep sense of helplessness.


    If Liu Yongjun held a position in the province’s officialdom, it would be fine; as long as he made a call to Su Li’s father, he could definitely investigate Liu Yongjun thoroughly.


    But the problem was,


    Liu Yongjun had already gone to Su Province.


    Although it was a neighboring province, it was still out of his reach.


    "Are you sure Liu Yongjun is the mastermind behind that case?" Xu Wendong asked unwillingly.


    Deng Wencheng said, "We don’t have direct evidence that Liu Yongjun is the mastermind behind that case, but his former driver is now the head of the personnel department in the Education Bureau."


    Xu Wendong fell silent.


    A driver couldn’t have the power to alter someone else’s grades; most likely, Liu Yongjun’s driver was just a scapegoat.


    Deng Wencheng sighed lightly, "Wendong, that’s just how it is; even when some peoplemit a crime, they still manage to stay out of it, and we can’t find anything against them!"


    "Let me think about it!"


    Xu Wendong felt powerless. He really wanted to bring Liu Yongjun to justice; it was the only way to do right by those forty-seven underprivileged students.


    But now he felt a bit at a loss.


    After hanging up the phone,


    Xu Wendong returned to Xiao Ruyan’s room.


    At this time, the woman had already fallen asleep in bed; after all, she was really exhausted today.


    Xu Wendong gently kissed her forehead, covered her with a nket, and then tiptoed out.


    Afterwards,


    Xu Wendong went back to Su Li’s ce.


    By this time, Su Li had already showered and was waiting for Xu Wendong in a ck slip dress. Although Xu Wendong adjusted his state of mind to wholeheartedly be with Su Li,


    afterwards, Su Li still asked, "Did something happen? Why do you seem distracted?"


    "Really?" Xu Wendong didn’t want his emotions to affect the women around him, only wanting to bring them happiness.


    "Yes!" Su Li said, "When we were together before, you would always ask me to change positions several times, but this time, not once."


    Xu Wendong forced a smile, surprised that Su Li noticed his distraction in such details. He no longer hid his feelings and told Su Li about Nie Xiaoyu and others’ grades being altered and their fate changed.


    Su Li sighed softly, "I heard about this from the news; the impact was extremely adverse."


    "It even drew significant attention from the education department."


    "Although those forty-seven students will be re-examined and all involved have been arrested, the damage to those students is immense."


    "As for Liu Yongjun..."


    "Just pretend he has nothing to do with the case!"


    Su Li was part of the system, and having grown up in a family within the system, she saw some things more clearly than Xu Wendong.


    Xu Wendong asked, "Is there really no way to bring Liu Yongjun to justice?"


    Su Li gave her opinion, "Unless you enter the Su Province officialdom to find evidence of Liu Yongjun’s crimes, there’s no other way."


    Xu Wendong sighed secretly.


    Liu Yongjun was now the Secretary of the Donghai City Political and Legal Affairs Commission in Su Province, holding a high position. Even if he entered the Su Province officialdom, how long would it take to reach that level???


    Moreover, he was a cultivator.


    His goal was cultivation, to be stronger, seek revenge for his father, and find his mother’s whereabouts.


    How could he have the mind to mess with officialdom?


    The night was deep.


    Xu Wendongy in bed holding Su Li but couldn’t sleep.


    His heart was in chaos.


    Firstly, because of the Liu Yongjun case.


    Also, because Elder Qin had mentioned the Power of the Nation’s Fate. He did indeed gain some power before, but if it couldn’t be continued, it would directly affect his future opportunities.


    But,


    figuring out how to gain the Power of the Nation’s Fate stumped him.


    After all, the Nation’s Fate was intangible and elusive; he had gained it before only because Elder Qin spent decadesying out a strategy that ultimately benefited him.


    ------


    The next day.


    Before dawn, Xu Wendong returned to his ce, washed up, changed into formal clothes, and then returned to the vigemittee.


    The purpose ofing here was to attend the road-opening ceremony.


    Yes,


    The road in Qingshan Vige had beenpleted yesterday, and today the opening ceremony would be held. Even Li Zhenfeng was expected toe in person.


    Of course, Huang Ruirui would alsoe, as her agreement with Qingshan Vige was to pay the 30 millionnd contract fee directly after the road opened.


    This day was destined to be special for Qingshan Vige. All the vigers came dressed up to the vige entrance, beating gongs and drums to wee the city leaders to inspect the work.


    In addition, many firecrackers were prepared.


    Rather than saying they weed the city leaders, it was more urate to say they weed Huang Ruirui, the "God of Wealth." After all, thirty million was no small amount for Qingshan Vige.


    At nine in the morning,


    five Toyota Coasters slowly drove over, followed by some private cars and a news interview vehicle from the television station.


    The road-opening ceremony officially began.


    The vigers drummed and set off firecrackers, celebrating this grand event and weing the city leaders.


    Xu Wendong leisurely sat on the side, smoking a cigarette. His eyes scanned the crowd, trying to spot Xu Fan, as he hadn’t seen this leading figure of Qingyuan Television Station for a long time and missed her.


    Unfortunately,


    he didn’t see Xu Fan in the crowd; it was a new face conducting the interviews.


    "What’s going on, why didn’t Xu Fane?" Xu Wendong felt a bit displeased. Although he and Xu Fan were just ordinary friends, he missed her a lot.


    Without thinking too much, he took out his phone and called Xu Fan’s number, only to receive a "the number you have dialed is not in service" message.


    ???


    Xu Wendong was bewildered, unable to figure out what was happening.


    Of course,


    most of all, he felt disappointed.


    He hadn’t expected Xu Fan to change her number without notifying him.


    Was their friendship so fragile?


    He strode towards the news interview vehicle and asked a director of the television station, "Hey brother, can you tell me why Xu Fan isn’t here?"


    The director recognized Xu Wendong since he previously partnered with Xu Fan, and Xu Fan often encountered Xu Wendong during her assignments.


    "Xiao Xu resigned."


    Xu Wendong was full of surprise, "Huh? Resigned? When did that happen? Why did she resign? Do you know where she is now?"


    The middle-aged man smiled, "Xiao Xu was never one of us; she only worked at the television station to gain experience. Isn’t resigning perfectly normal?"


    "As for where she is now, I don’t know; I only know she’s from Su Province and has probably returned home now!"


    The sense of loss in Xu Wendong’s heart intensified.


    He regarded Xu Fan as a close friend, but clearly, she hadn’t kept him in her heart.


    She left without even saying goodbye.


    Clearly, in Xu Fan’s life, he was just an extra, A, B, C, and D...


    Just when Xu Wendong was feeling disheartened, Li Zhenfeng finished his interview and walked over to him.


    And the moment he saw Li Zhenfeng, goosebumps rose all over Xu Wendong, "How does he have the Power of the Nation’s Fate on him?"
