Chapter 137 Excellent Son
No matter how strongly Chu Yuanchen opposed it, Chu Lingyun insisted on applying to the military academy, which made Chu Yuanchen so angry that he ignored his son for half a year.
Chu Yuanchen said this, not only to make fun of it, but also to take the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction.
"Dad, this is great news. I met an American businessman in Nanjing. He sympathizes with poor Chinese students and wants to invest in building a middle school in China, basically free of charge. After hearing what I said about you, he admired you very much and wants you to be the principal of this new school."
Chu Lingyun knew his father's temper, so he didn't follow his topic and explained the situation directly.
Hearing that an American businessman wanted to invest in building a school, Chu Yuanchen instantly became interested: "Really, that's great. There are many places in Ningcheng that don't have schools. It's really heartbreaking that so many children can't go to school. Building a school will allow many people to learn knowledge. It will be a great deed."
"Dad, Mr. Allen wants to meet with you to discuss the details. Do you and Mom have time to come to Nanjing?"
Chu Lingyun did not tell him that the school was to be built in Chongqing, and that they had to wait until they arrived in Nanjing.
"Sure, your mom and I will go over after we arrange the school matters."
Chu Yuanchen agreed without thinking. As long as it was beneficial to the students, he would be more proactive than anyone else.
"Ling Yun, is this person reliable?" After agreeing, Chu Yuanchen asked belatedly.
"Absolutely reliable. Have you forgotten what I do?"
Chu Lingyun laughed, Chu Yuanchen was slightly startled, then his smile widened. His son now worked in the Military Intelligence Department.
That's the intelligence department. It's very easy for them to find out a person's background.
"Okay, when we get here, please introduce Mr. Allen to us. Lingyun, you have really grown up."
Chu Yuanchen sighed, feeling very pleased that his son took the initiative to fight for the establishment of a school in front of foreigners.
Everything was going according to Chu Lingyun's script. He knew his parents too well. If something like this happened, they would not sit still and would definitely come.
Things are going well at home, and now it all depends on how Smith performs.
Liang Yu and Zhang Acheng spent another two days reading all the files three times, while Chu Lingyun had only read them twice.
Among the hundreds of people to be investigated, they found suspicious points in the files of ten people.
After hearing Chu Lingyun's report, Henian's heart was suddenly filled with shock. Just looking at the files, there were so many people who were worthy of suspicion. Was it really that exaggerated?
If Virgo knew this, I don’t know how furious he would be.
"Chief, this is the situation with ten people."
After Chu Lingyun finished explaining all the issues, He Nian breathed a sigh of relief. They were not big problems, just minor doubts.
This result is not so bad. If there were so many obvious problems in their files, everyone in the Archives Department and the Political Training Department would probably be punished.
"Ling Yun, you're really attentive. You can even find suspicious points in something as insignificant as a name or family background. Not bad, very good."
"Section Chief, I was able to find this out thanks to the help of Liang Yu and Zhang Acheng. They are the best students selected from the police academy and are very capable."
Taking advantage of the opportunity of New Year's greetings and praise, Chu Lingyun asked for credit on behalf of Liang Yu and the others, as they had indeed worked hard these days.
"That's also because you're a good leader."
Henian didn't care. What he wanted was the result. As long as Chu Lingyun could find the traitor, no matter who got the credit, he would just let Chu Lingyun write a report. The director would definitely give him a reward.
"How are you going to investigate next?" Henian asked again.
Chu Lingyun replied, "First, focus on investigating these ten people and find out everything about their past. The Japanese are inherently arrogant and won't easily trust the Chinese, so there's a high possibility that the spy lurking among us is Japanese. If he is Japanese, there must be loopholes in his past. If we find any loopholes, we can identify the real suspect."
He Nian nodded and said, "The idea is feasible. Let's do as you say. Investigate secretly and don't let these people know about the situation. Tell me if you need any support."
"Yes, Chief."
After finishing the report, Chu Lingyun left Henian's office. He planned to let Action Team 1 take full responsibility for the traitor case.
Chu Yuan made great contributions when he arrested Zhu Lihua last time. If he can lead the team to find the real Japanese spy this time, this achievement will be enough for him to be promoted to second lieutenant.
Chu Yuan accepted the task and left with the entire team.
The first action team consisted of forty people, divided into ten groups of four, each investigating the families' hometowns. Chu Lingyun's request was for as much detail as possible, even childhood scars or birthmarks. Anything that could be uncovered had to be investigated.
Two days later, Nanjing Railway Station.
"Yes, brother, brother is here to pick us up."
After getting off the train, Chu Ya looked around curiously. She had never left Ningcheng since she could remember, and this was her first time traveling far away.
As a result, she saw Chu Lingyun coming to the platform to pick them up and shouted excitedly.
"Dad, Mom."
Chu Lingyun walked over and took the wooden boxes they were carrying. Both wooden boxes were old-fashioned. This type of wooden box was not convenient. It could not carry much things and was very heavy.
Unfortunately, the couple was unwilling to replace the suitcase with a more convenient one, thinking that it was fine as long as it could be used. The suitcase was too expensive, and the money saved was enough to help a student with a year's tuition.
"Lingyun, where is Mr. Allen?"
Chu Yuanchen asked as soon as he saw his son. He was very concerned about the school that the American businessman wanted to donate to build.
Chu Lingyun smiled and said, "Dad, Mr. Allen is about to return home and has been very busy recently. I will take you to see him after you have settled in."
"He is going back to his country?" Chu Yuanchen frowned.
"Yes, he has sold his business here and is going back to his country to develop. That's why he wanted to donate to build a school before he left. But don't worry, he will definitely build this school. I will finalize this matter as soon as possible."
Before coming to pick up his parents, Chu Lingyun went to see Smith. The house had already been found, a three-story villa. Smith was very satisfied with the environment of the house.
"You're right, it needs to be done as soon as possible."
Chu Yuanchen nodded vigorously. They were about to leave, and if the school could not be built before leaving, it would be a great loss for many students.
Chu Lingyun took his parents back home. His residence had three rooms, so it was no problem for his parents and sister to live there.
The next morning, Chu Lingyun brought them to Smith.
He originally planned to come back in the afternoon as his parents were exhausted from the journey and he wanted to let them have a good rest. However, the couple was much more anxious than he was and got up early to urge him to contact Smith, so he had to come in the morning.
"Chu, my good friend, it's nice to meet you."
When they arrived here, Smith was already waiting at the door. When he saw Chu Lingyun get out of the car, he immediately opened his arms and gave Chu Lingyun a warm hug.
"You two must be Mr. Chu's parents, right? It's a pleasure to meet you. You have raised a very outstanding son."
After greeting Chu Lingyun, Smith came to Chu Yuanchen and the others with a smile, shook hands with them, and gave Chu Yuanchen a thumbs up.
