5: Chapter 5: I dumped you, get as far away from me as possible.

Jinzhu Township Health Center.

Liu Yan is a nurse here.

During their break, a few nurses were chatting together.

"Liu Yan, I heard your boyfriend is in trouble. Everyone is saying he took bribes from someone, and it's quite a significant amount."

"I heard that too. Qin Chuan has been arrested and locked up in the Police Station."

"..."

Truly, good news never leaves the house, while bad news travels a thousand miles. In just a few short hours, even the nurses at the township health center knew about this.

Liu Yan's reaction was rather indifferent.

She basically didn't care whether Qin Chuan lived or died anymore.

In the past, it was because Qin Chuan was handsome and a graduate of Jingcheng University; having such a boyfriend gave her a lot of face.

After she started working, she felt more and more that Qin Chuan was not good enough.

He had no money and no connections. He had been working for nearly three years, yet he was just a regular clerk at the Urban Construction Office, constantly stuck in the same place. At this rate, it would be impossible for him to ever land an official position in his lifetime.

Fortunately, she had already boarded the big ship of Township Head Zhao.

Although Township Head Zhao was already forty-two or forty-three and had a wife and children, he was a Township Head after all, and he was generous with his spending. The LV bag in her hand was a gift from him.

Besides, Township Head Zhao said that in a few months at most, he would divorce his nagging wife and marry her, Liu Yan.

Hmm, I need to go to the Police Station and tell Qin Chuan in person that we are over and we must break up immediately.

Thinking this, she took her LV bag and went out. A while later, she arrived at the Jinzhu Township Police Station and saw Qin Chuan, who was handcuffed to a radiator.

"Qin Chuan, you've made such a huge mistake. I feel ashamed for you. There's no need for us to continue seeing each other. Let's break up, let's break up right now!"

Looking at this woman, Qin Chuan gave a cold laugh.

He really didn't have the slightest bit of affection for her.

The one who had feelings for her was the original owner; he himself only found this woman disgusting.

She had obviously cheated long ago and had been together with Township Head Zhao Yijiang for a while. Last night, they were even having a passionate romp in Room 1208 of the Four Seasons Hotel. Now, she actually had the nerve to stand on the moral high ground, saying he had made a mistake and she felt ashamed, and then wanted to propose a breakup.

Since that was the case, there was no need to give her any face.

Qin Chuan sneered, "Liu Yan, if anyone is going to propose a breakup, it's me. You don't have the qualifications at all. You are dumped right now. Get lost as far as you can!"

Liu Yan's expression changed. She never imagined that Qin Chuan, who had always been meek and obedient in front of her, would dare to act this way.

"You..."

Her chest heaved with anger as she pointed at Qin Chuan, at a loss for words for a moment.

Qin Chuan retorted, "What 'you'? You and Township Head Zhao Yijiang have been together for a long time. You even opened a room at the Four Seasons Hotel last night. Did you think I didn't know?"

"Get lost! I feel disgusted just looking at you now!"

Liu Yan's expression changed again, and she thought to herself, how did he know?

Being exposed for cheating and having opened a room at the Four Seasons Hotel last night was a very shameful matter. Liu Yan didn't have the face to stay any longer, so she left in a huff.

Everything quieted down again.

No one came over, and certainly no one came to interrogate him, until around nine or ten at night.

Finally, there was some movement outside. Someone came and unlocked Qin Chuan's handcuffs and took him to an interrogation room.

The glaring incandescent light shone directly at Qin Chuan, and the investigation team began to interrogate him, keeping at it all night long.

They didn't give him water, didn't give him food, and wouldn't even let him sleep.

Once they noticed Qin Chuan trying to sleep, they would shine the light on him and bang on the table, just to keep him from sleeping.

Even a man of iron couldn't hold up against that. Even with his enhanced physique, after being tormented like this all night, Qin Chuan's mental state was very poor.

He looked terrible, his face pale, his hair messy, and his eyes full of bloodshot veins; it was heartbreaking to look at him.

Without connections or a background, you really are just at the mercy of others.

Qin Chuan thought to himself more than once, 'Damn it, this is a classic hellish start. How can I break through this situation?'

The USB drive he mailed out should reach the person in charge of the Dongzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection by this morning at the latest. This was his only hope for breaking the deadlock.

They kept at it until eight or nine in the morning before this group left, but they left one person to watch Qin Chuan, with the sole purpose of not letting him sleep.

They used this method to torment Qin Chuan.

Fine, if they won't let him sleep, then so be it. He looked terrible on the surface, but in reality, because his physique was stronger than an ordinary person's, staying awake for a few more nights wouldn't be a big problem.

With those people gone and only one person left, things quieted down, and Qin Chuan could finally check the system's updated messages for today.

There were two messages in total.

1. This morning, the investigation team will search your dormitory and find 300,000 in cash. They will use this money to open a case against you.

2. This afternoon, your long-lost biological parents will find you.

Seeing the first message, Qin Chuan cursed in his heart.

'Damn it, this is truly vicious. They're really willing to spend a fortune. This Township Head Zhao Yijiang is trying to drive me to my death; he actually planted 300,000.'

Seeing the second message, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, but it wasn't much.

His long-lost biological parents would come to find him. When they saw him in his current state, what would their reaction be? What was their status? Would they have the ability to help him break this deadlock?

...

Office of the Provincial Party Secretary of Handong Province.

Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong was reviewing a document when his private mobile phone in his pocket rang.

If it were someone within the system, they would generally call the office phone on the desk or the publicly listed mobile number. Those who called his private mobile phone were generally people very close to him.

He picked up the phone and took a look. Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong immediately put down the document in his hand, a hint of gentleness appearing on his face, completely different from his usual stern expression.

If others were nearby, they would surely be shocked; the stern Secretary Qin, known for his authority, actually had such a gentle side.

The call was from his wife, Luo Rong.

Once the call connected, Luo Rong's incredibly excited voice came through, "Old Qin, I have some wonderful news to tell you. We have news about our son! Wuwu..."

On the other end of the line, Luo Rong started crying.

Tears of joy!

Most people only knew that Secretary Qin had a daughter; only a few people knew that Secretary Qin actually had a son as well.

It was just that many years ago, due to an accident, this son had gone missing and had never been found.

Even though he was the Provincial Party Secretary with immense psychological fortitude, at this moment, Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong couldn't control his emotions. He stood up abruptly and said loudly, with immense joy and surprise.

"Wife, is this true!"

He truly couldn't believe it!

For so many years, they had spent a massive amount of manpower and resources, expending a great deal of energy, and there had never been any news. Now, there was actually news of his son.

In his mind, Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong pictured his son at two or three years old. In the drawer of his desk, there was even a yellowed black-and-white photograph.

Whenever he missed his son, he would take it out and look at it.

Son, where are you, and how are you doing...

Finally, there is news of my son!!!
