Chapter 2382 - 2382: Departure

It turns out that this time Liu Zhizhong really needs to recall carefully.

Because this truly involves a murder case, Lu Liang is dead!

Lu Liang?

Yes, Xiong Wenwu's nephew-in-law, the wealthy young man who once pursued Gu Yan for several years, the heir of the Lu Group in the Provincial City.

Although the Lu family is involved in the murder case, it isn't very closely related to Lu Liang.

However, a few days ago, Lu Liang died, found naked in the backseat of his own car, quite undignified.

Moreover, inside the car, there were many traces of male genetic material.

The police's inference is: death by murder, because Lu Liang was killed by having his neck twisted.

But how is this matter related to Liu Zhizhong?

There's no way around it, the preliminary guess is that it was done by Lu Liang's enemies, so anyone who had grudges with him must undergo investigation.

Several of Lu Liang's cronies naturally had a strong impression of Liu Zhizhong and wanted to disgust him a bit, which is how Liu Zhizhong got involved.

Without choice, Liu Zhizhong also had to go to the Provincial Department to undergo investigation, providing evidence of his alibi, sigh~~

Of course, he explained how the enmity with Lu Liang arose, the whole story and so on.

After finishing his statement, the Provincial Department also needed to find Gu Yan for inquiry and cross-examination, so Liu Zhizhong had to stay at the designated hotel until his innocence could be proved.

This wasn't considered a restriction of Liu Zhizhong's personal freedom but rather asking him to cooperate with the investigation, and for every day he stayed, Liu Zhizhong was given a compensation of 320 yuan; meanwhile, apart from not being able to leave on his own, communication facilities were open, and because his beard had grown, he could even shop online for a new razor, ordered one day, delivered the next!

Three days later, Liu Zhizhong was able, at last, to prove his innocence and his irrelevance to Lu Liang's murder case, and was released.

Of course, upon his return, staff from the Provincial Department accompanied him right back to the school.

At this moment, Liu Zhizhong was feeling truly frustrated. Wasn't his reputation likely ruined in this training class? What should he do in the future? The situation might be more severe, right?

Upon returning, it was late afternoon, and the classmates from the class were out on a field trip, leaving him alone in the Party School quite speechless. Because at this point, it was impossible for him to run and catch up with the class group alone!

Liu Zhizhong returned to the dormitory for a shower, then prepared to go downstairs, drive to see Wang Chenglong to play some bowling, and talk about his recent unfortunate events.

But who could have known when he had just arrived downstairs and hadn't reached his car yet, the deputy principal in charge of academic affairs at the Party School came right over and stopped him.

Liu Zhizhong was quite courteous, nodded with a polite smile, and said, "Principal Lan, do you have business with me?"

Principal Lan nodded, pulling Liu Zhizhong aside, somewhat helplessly said, "Comrade Liu Zhizhong, we all know you're an outstanding young cadre. But due to the recent events, and because you've fallen behind in your training tasks, the school has decided that you will no longer continue with your studies and training. From now on, please pack your luggage and return to your original unit! Alas..."

Liu Zhizhong was shocked momentarily but quickly regained composure.

His mental resilience was incredibly strong.

Though he anticipated recent events were unfavorable to his training, he hadn't expected them to be this unfavorable.

Going to the Party School in the Provincial City for a six-month full-time training program was a rare opportunity for each young cadre, preparing for promotion.

But for someone like him, now canceled mid-training, returned to his original unit, this poses major issues for his future prospects, doesn't it?

But at this point, facing Principal Lan's direct notice, Liu Zhizhong had no room for rebuttal or appeal, so he nodded, "Okay, Principal Lan, Liu Zhizhong unconditionally accepts the organization's arrangements and decisions."

"Ah, that's good. You go ahead and pack your luggage then; leave the school today!"

Liu Zhizhong didn't anticipate such immediate expulsion!

But he didn't get angry, simply nodded and said, "Okay, Principal Lan, I'll go back to the dormitory and pack quickly. Can I have fifteen minutes?"

"No worries, take within an hour."

After saying this, Principal Lan shook his head, sighed softly, patted Liu Zhizhong's shoulder, and then turned and left.

Liu Zhizhong could feel that the other was quite helpless, quite regretful.

But at this moment, yielding to the decision was the best expression of attitude.

Liu Zhizhong returned upstairs immediately to pack his luggage.

At that moment, he considered calling Wang Chenglong, hoping the Wang family could help extend his stay.

However, in a flash of thought, Liu Zhizhong rejected this idea.

Currently, the events surrounding himself really didn't necessitate staying here, right?

If he stayed forcefully, wouldn't that cause trouble for the Wang family?

Even clearly proclaiming, I'm Liu Zhizhong, with solid connections, insisting on staying here?

Leave without creating any trouble for anyone, now that's true stature!

Simultaneously, Zhang Xiaoyang has been tormenting me legitimately; now, with me returning to the Southeast, can he still bother me?

So, Liu Zhizhong felt going back was quite alright.

He swiftly packed his luggage, then checked the messages in the class group.

Oh my...

While packing just now, his phone was ringing non-stop, he hadn't had time to check, now looking, ha...

He was leaving school today, returning to his original unit at Dongnan City Culture and Tourism Bureau, this news was announced by Zhang Xiaoyang.

Whole class didn't know what to say, hardly anyone responded.

Most was Lu Jie saying: Zhizhong, goodbye, the road ahead is long!

A few people agreed, then there was nothing more.

Zhang Xiaoyang certainly was thrilled, because Liu Zhizhong's current situation was what he desired.

But outwardly, he remained sincere and said, "Alas... unexpectedly, Comrade Zhizhong leaves us in such a way. However, the Organizational decision and school's execution are beyond our control. As national cadres, obedience is our duty! May Comrade Zhizhong not carry ideological burdens, return to his unit, continue working hard, improve understanding, enhance thought, push ahead diligently, and opportunities will come again."

Followed naturally by a string of brief affirmations, and so it continued.

Everyone knew Zhang Xiaoyang was being polite, and he knew he was being polite, but such politeness truly needed this courtesy.

Upon reading these messages, Liu Zhizhong smiled lightly, ultimately replied to the group: Thanks everyone, wish you all the best, graduate with success, goodbye!

After sending out the message, he decisively left the group...
