Chapter 007: Zhu Bin's Past
"Who is your Uncle Du!" Before he could finish speaking, Director Du let out an angry roar: "Military academies have strict regulations; no dating is allowed before graduation. You are so audacious that you actually sneak out every night to fool around with a woman three years older than you. You, you are simply beyond redemption...
Deputy Director Du was momentarily taken aback by his attitude. He had approached him out of genuine concern, hoping to rescue the son of an old subordinate from the brink of disaster. To his surprise, the young man responded without a second thought. After pacing back and forth a few steps, Deputy Director Du finally stopped and asked, "Do you know a woman named Liu Xiangxiang?"
This is a student who causes headaches for everyone in the entire school. Undeniably, Zhu Binke has excellent grades and is very intelligent, but perhaps he is just too smart. From the very first day he entered the school, he has been a source of constant trouble, and within a year, he has accumulated three disciplinary actions for various offenses.
... ...
Watching Wu Sangui laugh heartily and face death with indifference, Zhu Bin appeared somewhat bewildered. Is the current self still the same self? Is the current self still the self of that era?
The reason provided by Du Zhengwei at https://mhetushucom.com is quite simple yet very useful: "We cannot let the spirits of the heroes in heaven feel cold; they have left behind such a unique son..."
In 2009, a certain military academy in China
Liu Xiangxiang... Du Zhengwei said in silence: "This afternoon, Liu Xiangxiang's colleague discovered... discovered that she had been murdered in her own home... she had been stabbed more than ten times..."
Xiao Bin, suddenly, Deputy Du stopped shouting and even called out a name that he would only use at home. He said in a low voice: "Xiao Bin, honestly tell Uncle Du, did you spend the night at Liu Xiangxiang's house last night..."
The school leaders are well aware of the situation, yet the parties involved refuse to acknowledge it, leaving them with no recourse... The final outcome is that the female student left the military academy with tears in her eyes
... ...
Zhu Bin's parents, who were also the former subordinates of Commissioner Du, sacrificed their lives during a flood relief operation a few years ago. As a result, Zhu Bin became a descendant of "revolutionary martyrs." In certain places, the descendants of martyrs enjoy some privileges. For instance, despite causing numerous troubles at the military academy, whenever the school convened to discuss his expulsion, Commissioner Du, who felt sorrow for the loss of his old subordinates, always found ways to suppress the decision.
Deputy Du's attitude did not intimidate Zhu Bin at all; instead, it made him feel quite pleased. In the entire military academy, the only one who could sneak out under the very nose of the officer on night duty without being noticed was none other than himself
Upon hearing this news, Zhu Bin's expression instead became calm. He fixed his gaze on Commissioner Du and said, "Uncle Du, please believe me, I can commit any wrongdoing, but I would never kill anyone, especially not a woman I care for. I did not do this!"
It turned out that what the political commissar wanted to ask was this. Zhu Bin let out a sigh of relief and said with a relaxed expression: "I know him, of course I know him, Uncle Du, he is my girlfriend..."
With a loud bang, Zhu Bin felt as if he had been struck by lightning, swaying unsteadily and nearly falling over. He forcefully controlled his emotions, shaking his head repeatedly and saying, "Impossible, impossible. When I left, Xiangxiang, she was still fine... She even asked me to come over tonight to have her specialty ribs..."
At that moment, the office door was opened, and several armed soldiers appeared at the entrance. When they cast their questioning gazes towards Commissioner Du, he struggled to raise his hand, painfully waved at them, and then seemed to age ten years, slumping down into his chair.
"Xiao Song, Xiao Zheng, I am truly sorry to you both. You entrusted Xiao Bin to me, but I failed to fulfill my responsibilities. Now he has met with such a fate, and has gone to the underworld. How can I still have the face to meet you?"
One hundred cavalry of the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, the knights all mounted with a whoosh. Before descending from the city tower, Wu Sangui laughed heartily at Zhu Bin, saying: "Brother, we shall meet again outside the city. This time, we must ensure that those Jurchen dogs are left with nothing, so that the Jurchen dogs can witness the grandeur of the men of the Han!"
"Zhu Bin, do you know why I asked you to come here today?" Remembering Zhu Bin's past misdeeds, Deputy Commissioner Du forcibly suppressed his anger and tried to ask in a calm voice: "Think carefully and answer only when you are clear about it!"
As he mounted the horse and galloped towards the city, Zhu Bin's thoughts suddenly returned to his own era, a time that brought him immense humiliation, transforming him from a carefree youth into a murderer in the blink of an eye
Whenever this statement is made, everyone falls silent
His resolute answer made Deputy Director Du hesitate as well. He walked up to Zhu Bin and patted him firmly on the shoulder: "Xiao Bin, Uncle Du can no longer help you with this matter. Please cooperate well with the investigation. I believe that in the face of the law, whether you are innocent or not will surely come to light."
However, Zhu Bin has truly brought great shame to Deputy Commissioner Du. Aside from the constant stream of various troubles that never seem to cease, the most infuriating aspect is that he continues to be embroiled in scandalous rumors. Most egregiously, there was an incident where it was rumored throughout the military academy that someone had seen Zhu Bin accompanying a female cadet to a private hospital for an abortion. Strangely enough, when the school authorities approached this female cadet for investigation and evidence, she admitted that she had indeed undergone an abortion, but stubbornly refused to acknowledge any relationship with Zhu Bin.
Uncle Du, please rest assured, I will definitely prove my innocence. I swear, I will find the murderer who killed Xiangxiang and avenge her! This was the last sentence Zhu Bin left for Commissioner Du before he was taken away.
Zhu Bin
I don't know. Zhu Bin shook his head decisively.
Watching Zhu Bin being taken away, Deputy Du could no longer contain himself. Two murky old tears streamed down his cheeks. He trembled, murmuring the names of Zhu Bin's parents, constantly blaming himself and saying
to ! ''
Deputy Du silently watched him, and after he paused slightly, he revealed something that made Zhu Bin even more incredulous: "At Liu Xiangxiang's home, the police found your student ID and some evidence that is very unfavorable to you. Now, you have become the prime suspect in the murder of Liu Xiangxiang"
With a stern voice from Political Commissar Du of the military academy, seventeen-year-old military academy cadet Zhu Bin stood up and responded loudly in front of Political Commissar Du
In a military academy where the rules are extremely strict, a single disciplinary action could jeopardize a student's future; however, Zhu Bin's situation is somewhat of an exception.
The sudden shift in Director Du's attitude left Zhu Bin feeling quite unsettled. He paused for a moment before nodding. When he noticed that with his nod, Director Du's expression grew increasingly grim, he faintly sensed that something might be amiss. He tentatively asked, "Uncle Du, what exactly is going on?"
