As night falls, the lights bloom. The Bund, located on the bank of the Huangpu River, the mother river of Shanghai, is the largest city in the country. In Puxi, the buildings of all nations resemble crystal palaces under the shining of lights; in Pudong, the lights on the oriental pearl ball among the towering clouds are constantly flickering, which looks very dazzling. The surrounding skyscrapers such as the Global Trade Center and Jinmao Tower are constantly changing light. The beautiful lights are shining on the surface of the river like a weaving cruise ship, as if colorful drops of water are so beautiful.
Chen Jin stood lonely on the roof of a high-end apartment building in the North Bund. Today is May 6, 2013, which is also his 40th birthday, but just today, he lost his last property-a luxury apartment of 320 square meters on the top floor of this high-end apartment building.
In this month, he completed a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of millions, went bankrupt, and completely reduced his role as a loser with nothing.
Ten years ago, when he was thirty years old, he set foot on this piece of land called "Adventurer's Paradise" before liberation with more than 10 million funds to join the real estate market. It should be said that he caught up with the best opportunity. In the real estate boom, in just ten years, the original 10 million snowballs swelled to hundreds of millions.
The success of each project is the constant increase in the amount of assets. He got all the things he advertised as successful as the car, the beauties, and the luxurious residences. But the growing real estate bubble will eventually burst one day, just as Chen Jin started to develop an unprecedented huge project, this day has arrived. With the failure of the economic soft landing, the bubble-filled real estate market finally collapsed, and housing prices plummeted. The company went bankrupt and hundreds of millions of assets evaporated instantly. All the property goes to the bank. Chen Jin still owes hundreds of millions of usury to the bank and the underground bank. Apart from jumping off the building, he has no retreat.
Slowly walking to the edge of the roof, a bitter smile appeared on Chen Jin's face. This life is also worthwhile for him, and he has enjoyed everything that should be enjoyed. To say regret, only sorry for the elderly parents who are far away in Chu Province. It is not possible to give the two elders to the end of their retirement life, nor to let the two elders embrace the grandson they dreamed of. Fortunately, the two elders still have their own younger sister and brother-in-law to take care of.
"The one-month nightmare is finally over and everything is free. Mom and Dad, the two elders only treat me as an unfilial son." Chen Jin muttered silently and jumped...
"Chen Jin, I warn you for the last time, be lenient in frankness, strict in resistance, and you will be honest with me about your problems."
In the interrogation room of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Xinmei County Procuratorate, the head of the investigation section of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Tian Huren, slapped the table fiercely, and screamed loudly and loudly to the drowsy young man who was handcuffed to a chair. Shouted. Immediately after that, he turned the table lamp with a power of 100 watts on the table and shot it directly on the young man's face.
It has been two days and nights, and the two groups of men and horses have been taking turns in battle. Until now, Tian Houren couldn't help but run away a bit without prying open the mouth of this young man. We must know that Ding Chunming, deputy secretary of the county party committee and secretary of the county political and legal committee, attached great importance to this case. In the past two days, Secretary Ding has called twice to ask about the progress of the case.
Tian Houren, although his name is Houren, is definitely a black-hearted and poisonous master. There are dozens of corrupt officials in Xinmei, and many of them are department-level cadres. Reluctantly, this small stock-level cadre-the chief of the Infrastructure Construction Section of the Transportation Bureau is like a stone in the pit-smelly and hard, but he refused to explain the report letter about his acceptance of bribes. He was in the bidding for the Shixin Road project. , Vent the bottom of the bid and help Changhua Construction Group win the bid.
No food, no drink, no sleep, two days and two nights. It's rare for Tian Houren to encounter such a stubborn stubbornness, not to mention that the other party is still a young man who has just worked for two years. While being annoyed, he also secretly admired. However, there was tremendous pressure from the leadership, and even his immediate boss, Deputy Attorney General and Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Shen Guoping, personally sat next to him.
Chen Jin woke up in confusion, the dazzling light made him unable to open his eyes at all. He instinctively wanted to raise his hand to block the light, but with a slight movement of his hand, a piercing pain came from both wrists. , I can't lift my hand at all. But the pain made Chen Jin's mind sober.
"Where am I? Why did I wake up again? What was the person saying just now? The voice seems a bit familiar?"
A series of questions appeared in Chen Jin's heart. The pain in the wrist was followed by feelings of cold, hungry, thirsty, and sleepy. He lowered his head and barely opened his eyes, but found that he was wearing an old-fashioned cotton'wool' shirt and trousers, sitting on a chair with his hands behind the chair, and moving slightly, there was a sound of metal collision. Chen Jin realized that he was backcuffed to a chair. All this is so familiar to him, this is an unforgettable memory in his life.
"Chen Jin, we already have sufficient evidence. Don't take any chances."
The familiar voice rang in his ears again, and the light on his face moved away, and Chen Jin slowly raised his head.
The two people sitting across from each other are in their forties. One is fat, wearing glasses, smoking while squinting his eyes to observe himself. The other was staring at himself with an angry face. Although this memory has been a long time ago, Chen Jin recognized these two faces at a glance.
"Shen Guoping! Tian Houren!"
Chen Jin screamed suddenly.
"Chen Jin, be honest." Tian Houren patted the table again angrily, and roared.
Tian Huren's roar pulled Chen Jin back to reality. Looking at the two people on the opposite side, Chen Jin's brain buzzed as if he had been struck by lightning. He sat on the chair in a daze and did not move again. This was an unforgettable experience in Chen Jin's memory, and it was this experience that completely changed his life.
Cross! It must have been through. I went back sixteen years ago all at once. The Anti-Corruption Bureau, this is the interrogation room of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. It was here that I was interrogated for two days and two nights. In the end, I couldn't bear it before I truthfully confessed the problem. Not only was I double-opened, but also my benefactor Wang Peilin was hurt. He went to jail.
Shen Guoping used his eyes to stop Tian Huren's recurrence, and comforted Chen Jin in a soft voice: "Xiao Chen, don't have any ideological worries. If you know your mistakes, you can change your comrade to be a good comrade. Just explain the problem clearly. After going out, you can still behave upright."
After Shen Guoping finished speaking, seeing Chen Jin still showing no reaction, a faint "color" flashed across his face, and then he continued earnestly: "Xiao Chen, you have to think carefully. The Shixin Road project is a county. For the key projects in Li and even the city, a project worth more than 100 million yuan, there is a problem in the bidding work, which is not something you can afford. Of course, we also believe that this is not your responsibility alone, is it someone instructed? Do you do this? Don't be stupid. You are still young, a party member, a college student, and a great future. Don't ruin your future."
Shixin Road Project? Someone instructed? I didn't want to lead the county magistrate Wang Peilin from myself. A bitter smile appeared on Chen Jin's face. He was bankrupt and wanted to seek relief, but he traveled to sixteen years ago. Do he have to experience the eternal pain in his heart again
Chen Jin's chaotic thoughts slowly calmed down, and he needed time to sort out his thoughts.
"Shen Jian, can you give me a cigarette?" After two days and nights of silence, Chen Jin finally took the initiative to speak for the first time.
Shen Guoping's eyes suddenly brightened. Judging from his 20-year procuratorial work experience, Chen Jin suddenly proposed to smoke at this time. This is a sign that his psychological defense is about to collapse and he is ready to begin to confess. A knowing smile appeared on his face, and he exchanged glances with Tian Houren on the side. He picked up a box of Chinese cigarettes on the table, stood up and walked to Chen Jin's face, and pulled out a cigarette and stuffed it into Chen Jin. In his mouth, and personally lit a cigarette for him.
The weather in Xinmei at the beginning of March was still very cold, wearing a thin cotton "wool" shirt and pants, plus not having been in water for two days and two nights, Chen Jin had a feeling of hunger and cold.
Taking a deep breath of cigarette, nicotine burrowed into the lungs along the respiratory tract, and the wilting spirit suddenly lifted. With a cigarette in his mouth, Chen Jin looked up at Shen Guoping, who was standing in front of him, and shook his handcuffed hands.
Seeing Chen Jin's performance, Shen Guoping was even more sure that he was about to get the desired result, and the smile on his face became even worse. He waved his hand to the bailiff standing behind Chen Jin and opened the handcuffs.
The time of handcuffing was too long. When the handcuffs were opened, the numb arms fell down suddenly, as if they did not belong to him. I moved a little, and glanced at the wrist that had gradually recovered some consciousness. There were already two deep blood marks on the wrist.
Chen Jin raised his trembling hand, clamped the cigarette in his mouth, flicked the ashes, and squinted his eyes and said: "Shenzhen, I need time to rest. It's best to return my clothes to me. , Give me something to eat and drink, and then let me sleep."
Hearing Chen Jin's request, the smile on Shen Guoping's face instantly solidified. Seeing Chen Jin's calm expression, he began to doubt his previous judgment. Isn't this young man playing tricks anymore
"Chen Jin, you don't want to be an inch. Tell you, our patience is limited. You don't "force" me to take measures against you." Tian Houren, who was preparing to record, heard Chen Jin's request and raised his head to sneer at Chen Jin. .
Chen Jin didn't pay attention to Tian Houren. At this time, Tian Houren was just a mad dog in his eyes. He still calmly looked at each other with Shen Guoping and didn't speak.
Shen Guoping stared at Chen Jin's eyes, his gaze gradually became severe, but it was a pity that he could not find anything in Chen Jin's eyes. The young man's eyes were like a deep water, which made him unable to see through.
"Okay!" Shen Guoping took a deep breath and finally nodded: "I promise you. However, I can only give you one hour at most. After an hour, I hope you won't let me down again."
Shen Guoping's last sentence was full of threats. The corners of Chen Jin's mouth were slightly upward, and he nodded towards Shen Guoping.
