Chapter 945: Detained In School
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Witnessing the current situation, the mention of the upcoming election by Guan Yi caused a sense of unease to settle in Shen Xi’s heart.
She was afraid that the Guan family would get involved in the factional warfare. Although the Guan family had always been caught in such whirlpools, this time, they dared to target Guan Lei directly. Clearly, things were not as simple as they seemed.
Maybe, once Guan Lei was implicated, it wouldn’t just be about him.
Considering Guan Yi t s prominent status as an influential old chief, having a grandson involved in treason would ruin the Guan family’s reputation in Huaguo.
As a pillar of the party, the impeccable reputation of Guan Yi and his numerous disciples would all be criticized.
Shen Xi’s eyes flickered as Meng Yu’s image flashed in her mind. If Meng Yu’s identity were revealed, it might explode along with the current crisis. Issues with personal conduct, having an illegitimate child, and a grandson committing treason would be devastating for Guan Yi.
Knowing Guan Lei, she believed he would never commit treason. Even in the face of death, he wouldn’t admit to something he didn’t do.
so…
Shen Xi’s eyes widened. These people intended to take advantage of Guan Lei’s current injuries to kill him. They hoped Guan Lei would commit suicide out of fear, leaving the matter unclear. This way, Guan Yi would be forced to direct all his attention to clearing his own name in the short term.
This would leave him with no energy to stop another faction from rising to power.
Shen Xi vividly recalled that the year Guan Miao, Guan Lei’s brother, passed
away happened to coincide with an election. The culprit back then was the Gu family.
Albeit somewhat blurry, this memory had remained in her mind due to its limited relevance to Guan Lei. However, the current situation triggered a clear recollection in Shen Xi’s mind.
But the timing was off. Elections occurred every four years, and fourteen years ago was one such election year. However, the current leader had only been in office for two years.
What happened?
Shen Xi was full of questions, and it seemed they had reached a deadlock.
It was clear these people were hesitant to take Guan Yi away, but if they didn’t take Guan Lei today, they would have a hard time explaining themselves.
Xu Hua spoke up, “How about this? Guan Lei is a student of our school. Why don’t we take him back to the school’s detention room? What do you think? The comrades from the National Security Bureau can also have someone guard him, and Old Master Guan, you can find someone to watch over him too. We’ll keep him there until the truth comes out.”
Xu Hua reluctantly proposed this solution. He was indebted to Guan Yi, so this seemed like the best way. It would prevent Guan Lei from falling into the hands of the National Security Bureau.
The situation was chaotic, and no one knew what would happen next. If something happened to Guan Lei, it would be difficult to handle.
However, this decision would bring trouble to the Imperial Capital Military University. If anything happened to Guan Lei in the detention room, the principal and the department head might end up being investigated.
Xu Hua dared not look at Duan Jian, afraid he might be condemned.
The National Security Bureau members knew that with Guan Yi present, they couldn’t take Guan Lei away. They had to compromise, “Then let Principal Duan take good care of him. Of course, we will assist the principal.”
Guan Yi nodded, “Let’s go with that plan. Principal Duan, I entrust my grandson to you.”
At this moment, Duan Jian felt overwhelmed. Bringing Guan Lei back to school was no different from bringing back a ticking time bomb.
However, under the scrutiny of both sides, Duan Jian could only force a smile and say, “Rest assured, both of you. Guan Lei is also a student of our school, and as the principal, I naturally have the responsibility to watch over him until the truth is revealed.’
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei with concern and asked, “What about his injuries? The conditions in the detention room are not suitable for his recovery.”
Though Shen Xi knew this was the best course of action, she was genuinely worried that Guan Lei’s wounds might get infected due to the poor living conditions.
Duan Jian sighed. Since he had taken on this hot potato, he had to handle it properly.
If anything happened to Guan Lei due to an infection, he would offend the Guan family.
“Don’t worry, Miss Shen. There will be medical personnel, and they will provide exclusive care for Guan Lei,” Duan Jian assured..
