Fang Zhicheng is gradually breaking down the defenses in Cao Bin's heart. He knows that Cao Bin can't hold on for long. Cao Bin already knows about his actions. If the higher authorities come to investigate, he won't be able to hold on for long.
Now Cao Bin regrets very much why he asked Hansen to drag Fang Zhicheng into the water. Not only did Fang Zhicheng not take the bait, but he also followed the clues and found him.
Fang Zhicheng's guess was correct. Cao Bin had been paying attention to Hansen's every move. He learned that Hansen did not renew the lease of the foot massage shop, and that there was a beautiful blonde girl around him. He had a bad feeling that Hansen might leave China.
Once Hansen left, he would lose his superior and most likely be abandoned. So Cao Bin was more cautious about the matter of Ruibo Technology and wanted to bargain with Hansen.
If Hansen lets him take the position of director of the High-tech Industry Department before leaving, and guarantees that his daughter can successfully obtain French citizenship and will not give up on him, then Cao Bin will hand over the information to Hansen. Cao Bin knows Hansen very well, and this is within his ability.
The biggest obstacle to becoming the director is Fang Zhicheng. Cao Bin thought about using the Silver Age to lure Fang Zhicheng. Cao Bin is actually a good hunter. Each of his plans is clear and can gain the greatest benefits for himself, but unfortunately he met Fang Zhicheng and misjudged Fang Zhicheng's sharp reaction.
First, Fang Zhicheng did not accept Silver Age’s inducement; second, Fang Zhicheng guessed through analysis that Cao Bin was a spy from Silver Age lurking in the National Development and Reform Commission.
Annie would never find Fang Zhicheng inexplicably. This must be someone who gave the Silver Age the corresponding information, which also means that there are people with problems around him, so he wants to start looking from around him.
What can interest Silver Age is the large number of enterprise project books related to the province's high-tech industries in the archives department. With those project books, it is entirely possible to replicate a high-tech enterprise.
So Fang Zhicheng started with Zhu Tieguo. Zhu Tieguo was originally his biggest suspect, but after communicating with Zhu Tieguo, he found that he was a very dull person and the Silver Age would not favor such a person, and then he began to suspect other people.
Zhu Tieguo accidentally revealed that Cao Bin had asked him to take the project book of Ruibo Technology. The evaluation of enterprise project books is generally conducted by experts convened by the government, and few people would study them privately. Fang Zhicheng saw the folds on the project book, confronted Cao Bin face to face, deliberately used provocation, and then found the answer.
For Cao Bin, now he has two options. First, admit the truth, which will ruin his future. However, because he took the initiative to confess, the organization will consider giving him a lighter sentence. Second, continue to conceal the truth. He still has a chance to make a last-ditch effort and escape before the relevant departments investigate him.
Cao Bin chose the second path. He controlled his emotions that were about to collapse and said in a deep voice: "Director Fang, I can only say that you have a very rich imagination. Let's talk again when you are more sober. I don't know anything about the Silver Age. I just want to understand Ruibo Technology. If you doubt me, you can complain to the Discipline Inspection Group. I believe that those who are innocent will be cleared."
After saying this, Cao Bin left the office without hesitation.
Fang Zhicheng frowned. He didn't expect Cao Bin to choose such a tough approach. Is he determined to do this until he reaches the Yellow River
Chapter 0832 A Three-inch Flying Knife
Cao Bin sat at his desk, feeling his heart pounding. He angrily slammed his fist on the table. A pen at hand bounced high due to the vibration, and finally bumped twice and slid to the ground with a "click" sound.
"Fang Zhicheng!" Cao Bin suddenly realized how terrible his new boss was. He had originally planned a conspiracy, but it exposed himself instead. Over the years, Cao Bin had many opportunities to be promoted to director, but because he was afraid that his secrets would be known, he chose to temporarily avoid the limelight, so he had difficulty making any progress in his career.
Cao Bin knew the complexity of the struggle in the officialdom. If there was a conflict of interest, and he was competing with others for the position of director, it would mean that every word and action would fall into the eyes of his competitors, and secrets would be difficult to keep. Until the previous director left, Cao Bin thought his chance had come, because after years of accumulation, Cao Bin had become the oldest director of the Development and Reform Commission, and he should have been the director. Unexpectedly, Fang Zhicheng appeared, and he was so young, so Cao Bin was not convinced.
From Hansen's many actions, he analyzed the signal that Hansen was about to leave China. As an informant, without his protection, his future situation would be extremely difficult.
Cao Bin took out a mobile phone from the drawer. This phone looked very old and was obviously different from today's large-screen smartphones. It could only dial one number, which was Hansen's phone.
Hansen answered the phone and said, "Cao, I just want to see you."
Cao Bin said in a deep voice: "See you at the old place."
Hansen raised his eyebrows and said, "OK!"
Cao Bin hurried out of the office and drove to the suburbs instead of the foot massage shop. The old place was a code name, referring to a place that was not often seen, but a place the two had agreed to meet in case of any particularly important matters.
Cao Bin first came to a shabby-looking building in a rural suburb. He took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. A musty smell emanated from inside, which made him cough for a long time. Cao Bin took out the tissue he had prepared in advance and wiped it on two chairs. The tissue was gray and black. No one had been here for a long time. The dirty paper was crumpled into a ball and rolled into a corner.
Ten minutes later, there was a noise outside and the tall Hansen, wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses, walked in slowly.
Hansen changed his usual calm tone and asked in a deep voice: "Cao, what's going on?"
Cao Bin took out the memory card from his briefcase and whispered, "Hansen, I've been exposed. Fang Zhicheng knows my identity and also knows that you need the project information of Ruibo Technology."
Hansen's eyes fell on the memory card, and he said calmly, "Cao, don't worry, give me the memory card, and then I will protect you. If you want, I can send you to France right now, and the government will protect you."
Cao Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Are you asking me to give up everything?"
Hansen sighed and said, "Cao, please believe me. If your identity is exposed, everything you have now will come to naught. So the right way should be to leave China with me. Your daughter is in France now. Wait for you to go abroad first. I will find a way to send your wife to France later."
Cao Bin sighed and said hesitantly, "Do we really want to leave this place?"
Hansen showed impatience on his face. He walked closer to Cao Bin, then took the memory card in his hand and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was the memory card he gave to Cao Bin, he showed a relieved look on his face and said, "Cao, we have cooperated for many years. I am still very grateful to you. Now make a choice. First, leave China; second, disappear from this world."
After saying this, Hansen took out the pistol from his waist and skillfully pressed the safety catch.
Cao Bin's face turned gloomy, but at the same time he seemed to have known this for a long time. He smiled bitterly and said, "You finally chose to attack me."
Hansen shrugged and said, "I'm helping you make the decision."
Cao Bin showed contempt in his eyes and said, "Are you sure that the memory card has what you want? You gave me two memory cards in the first place."
Hansen showed a look of surprise, slowly lowered his arm holding the pistol, and whispered, "I didn't expect you to be so cunning."
Cao Bin sighed and said, "If I hadn't been more careful, I would have been dead."
Hansen spread his hands, showing his usual gentlemanly smile, and said, "Cao, my ally. The current atmosphere is a bit too bad. Give me the memory card. If you want to live in China, I can find a way to change your identity information."
Cao Bin sighed and asked, "Where is my daughter?"
Hansen laughed and said, "As long as she doesn't leave France, the government will give her special treatment. She will graduate next year, and I plan to introduce her to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Cao Bing was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Hansen, I have made a decision. I can give you the memory card, and I will not hide my name. I will explain my mistakes to the organization..."
Hansen was slightly stunned, with a look of astonishment on his face. He said, "Are you crazy? In any country, if you confess your actions, it would be a crime of espionage and you would be brought to a military court."
