Chapter 506: Chapter 307 Sending off the guest! (First update request for subscription)_2

In the afternoon, Xu Dongcheng had a lengthy discussion with Ding Yue about the development and construction of private universities. Eventually, Principal Xu Dongcheng decided to leave Mist City that afternoon to return to Westlight University.

Upon seeing Principal Xu Dongcheng’s preparations to leave, Ding Yue initially wanted to persuade him to stay a bit longer. However, Principal Xu Dongcheng had his own affairs to handle, so reluctantly, he decided to depart in the afternoon.

Given these circumstances, Ding Yue had no choice but to accompany Principal Xu Dongcheng to the gate of Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Principal Ding, the biggest gain from my participation in the National College Education Innovation Exchange Conference was learning about the essence of our private universities from you. Once I return, it will be time for Westlight University to initiate some changes. I hope I can succeed!"

Xu Dongcheng sincerely approached Ding Yue and shook his hand.

"I wish you success. May our private universities continue to prosper!" Ding Yue also gave his blessings.

Principal Xu Dongcheng is a decent individual. Although his cultural knowledge is somewhat lacking, he is interesting for someone in his forties.

"Also, please send my regards to Mei Jia. Tell her that we at Mist City Arts and Science University are looking forward to her recovery. Not only will we treat her well when she visits, but we will also invite her to enjoy a campus-themed hotpot. We also welcome her to join Mist City Arts and Science University and become a part of us!"

Ding Yue suddenly thought of Xu Dongcheng’s daughter, Xu Meijia, and sent her his blessings for good health.

"Thank you!"

After shaking hands with Ding Yue, Principal Xu Dongcheng patted his hand lightly with his other hand. It seemed like a mix of reluctance and an empathetic connection.

"Goodbye, Principal Ding. I look forward to our next meeting!"

"Goodbye!"

Ding Yue watched as Principal Xu Dongcheng’s vehicle slowly left the campus of Mist City Arts and Science University, joined the public road, and gradually vanished from his sight.

After a while, Ding Yue could not help but sigh silently.

As the principal of a private university, his first friend who was also a principal turned out to be Xu Dongcheng, a man twice his age.

He hoped that Westlight University, under Xu Dongcheng’s leadership, would gradually bounce back, and that his daughter could find a suitable liver donor for her surgery.

"Principal Ding?"

Seeing Ding Yue standing still for a long time, Wen Ruohan gently called out.

However, there was no response from Principal Ding.

Wen Ruohan thought her voice was too quiet and raised her decibel level to call out again, "Principal Ding?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Wen Ruohan calling him, Ding Yue came back to his senses and looked at her.

"Principal Xu’s car has already driven away."

Wen Ruohan reminded him.

"Then let’s go back."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue turned around and headed towards the school, with Wen Ruohan following him.

Ding Yue abruptly turned towards Wen Ruohan and said, "Oh right, notify Director Huang. Let their logistics procurement department actively cooperate with Xiao You’s research team on graphene peel prep. Anything the team needs can be directly purchased by the logistics procurement department. For funds, they can apply from the finance department."

"Okay, Principal Ding, but Director Huang, he..."

"What about Huang?"

At her words, Ding Yue could not help but frown and ask.

"Principal Ding, Director Huang is no longer at school. He and the school’s legal team left for Liu Ping’s hometown this morning."

Wen Ruohan responded.

Oh right!

He had been so busy all day, Ding Yue had almost forgotten.

After providing legal assistance for Liu Ping in the morning, Huang immediately took his team to Liu Ping’s hometown to investigate the situation. They also planned to file an appeal for Liu Ping’s father, all of which required time for a thorough investigation.

"Alright, you can directly find the person in charge of the logistics procurement department then." Ding Yue nodded, instructing Wen Ruohan.

He then pulled out his cellphone and gave Huang a call to inquire about their initial understanding of the situation.

Because Ding Yue also wanted to know what was the exact reason behind why Liu Ping’s father had not been released yet?

"Hey, Huang."

"Yue."

The call connected.

"Have you guys arrived at Liu Ping’s hometown yet?" Ding Yue curiously asked.

"Yep, we got to the county of Liu Ping’s hometown around three this afternoon, and we just tried to understand the situation from relevant departments, but things aren’t progressing smoothly. Many of the staff in these departments are basically avoiding the issue or even refusing to let us know about it."

Huang Youjie briefly explained the situation they had found after arriving at the county of Liu Ping’s hometown.

"How can that be?" Ding Yue wondered.

This case is clearly one that has been vindicated, so why are they still detaining Liu Ping’s father?

Even the staff of the related departments are avoiding the topic?

"I suspect that this issue involves some negligence by the personnel working on the case back then. I’ve looked into it a bit. The person in charge of Liu Ping’s father’s case seems to have been promoted. You get what I mean, right?"

Once Huang Youjie said this, Ding Yue understood immediately.

So that’s how it is.

Of course, this is just a guess by Huang Youjie and Ding Yue. They need to investigate the specific situation before they can tell.

"Why not go to the court?" Ding Yue suggested.

"Yeah, we were thinking the same thing. We’re going to the court to find out more tomorrow. But what if there’s still no news or result? Liu Ping’s father was sentenced to life imprisonment. If this isn’t clarified, it will be difficult for Liu Ping’s father to get out!" Huang Youjie said anxiously.

"What about... further investigations in the city? Or inquiries in the province? Surely, they can’t still hold Liu Ping’s father when the actual suspect has been arrested, right?"

Ding Yue found it hard to believe that this could happen.

Even if similar cases happened on Earth in the past, the wrongly accused were eventually exonerated, right?

"Yue, if all else fails, maybe we should use some public opinion or get some heavy-weight news media involved. Make everyone pay attention to this case." Huang Youjie suggested.

"I see what you mean, but the media... " Ding Yue murmured, then his eyes lit up, "Got it, leave this to me!"

Ding Yue thought that Huang’s suggestion was very useful!

Although their legal team has already gone, without more information or data, no matter how much they know about the law, it will be hard to push things forward!

After all, if the relevant department refuses to produce the required documents and the negligent staff can’t be dealt with, it’s like a dead end.

What Huang just mentioned about getting the media involved could increase the case’s visibility, forcing the relevant department in Liu Ping’s hometown to feel pressured and re-examine the case.

That would clear the deadlock!

"Alright, Yue, I’ll go see what’s happening at the court and the police station tomorrow, and then keep working on this. Regarding the media, can you figure that out?"

"Ok, wait for my word!" Ding Yue agreed.

A moment later, Ding Yue hung up the phone and began to ponder which media outlet to approach.

Should he ask his own journalism students at Mist City Arts and Science University to do it?

Obviously not. They’re still too inexperienced, and this case directly impacts the freedom of Liu Ping’s father, it’s a serious matter.

"Mist City TV?"

Ding Yue immediately thought of Mist City TV, as he was quite familiar with them. He had been interviewed there when he and several professors from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology developed the third-generation dilution semiconductor material technology.

However,

He quickly thought of an even more authoritative media outlet than Mist City TV, and he knew someone there. He figured he could ask if they would be willing to help...
