(Happy wedding, my youth! I listened to "Those Years" over and over again, with tears streaming down my face. After "Old Boy", there is finally another movie that touched me. Maybe it's not because of the simple or even crude movie itself, but because it belongs to the past of that era)
This was the first time he tried so hard to kill someone!
Wen Liang sat on the sofa, staring blankly at his palms. His finger joints were not thick, but rather delicate and slender. The boy's hands had not yet developed the roughness that is unique to mature men. The lines on his palms were clear, yet revealed a kind of delicate and gentle feeling.
But it is this hand that can change the weather, can be fierce and deadly, can gently caress a girl's cheek, and can also send a person to hell in public!
The five fingers opened slightly, then slowly closed, and the time condensed by light and darkness flowed through the gaps between the fingers. From now on, under the blue sky, there will no longer be that young man named Wenliang, who was dressed in clean clothes and as gentle as jade!
Lingyang No. 1 Detention Center, interrogation room on the first floor.
Zuo Yuxi pushed open the door and saw Zhou Yuanting sitting across the table. He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. His hair, which used to be meticulous, was a little messy, with a lot of white hair. The skin on his face was even more sagging, no longer as majestic as when he was in office. The bags under his eyes caused by lack of sleep and excessive stress made him look like an old man in his seventies. Who would have thought that just a month ago, he was still an energetic and promising mayor
Zhou Yuanting, his energy and spirit are gone!
Hearing the door open, Zhou Yuanting opened his eyes, sat up straight, and forced a smile: "Director Zuo, you're here. I always wanted to sleep but couldn't fall asleep during this period. I didn't expect that after sitting for a while, I felt a little tired..."
Whether he was the deputy mayor in charge of education or later promoted to mayor, Zhou Yuanting always affectionately called Zuo Yuxi "Little Director Zuo". As time passed, one was a guest of honor, and the other was a prisoner. This "Director Zuo" fully expressed the unpredictable world and the vicissitudes of life.
Zuo Yuxi did not respond, pulled out a chair and sat down, and said coldly: "Mayor Zhou, why do you insist on seeing me?"
Zhou Yuanting laughed at himself: "You are still the same, you haven't changed at all!"
He lowered his head and was silent for a moment. When he raised his head again, his eyes were very complicated and he said, "Yuxi, whether you believe it or not, even if Secretary Zuo and I are incompatible, I have never thought of using such means to hurt you!"
Zuo Yuxi's body trembled, and the bare hands hanging by her legs suddenly tightened. This was the first time since that night that she heard about that incident from someone other than Wen Liang. She gritted her teeth slightly, and her cold face became even colder.
"It's a long story," Zhou Yuanting sighed, and said, "At that time..."
At that time, for the position of Lingyang Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Zuo Jing and Fang Mingtang openly tore their faces apart. Fan Heng'an, the biggest source of funds behind Fang Mingtang, became the focus of Zuo Jing's attention. Just looking at Zuo Yuxi, it is clear that Zuo Jing is not a law-abiding and honest person. The bank's collection, industrial and commercial inspections, and tax inspections, a combination of punches, have punished Fan Heng'an half to death. Then the public security, procuratorate and courts came to visit from time to time, and his subordinates arrested batches of people. Even if Fang Mingtang defended him in every possible way, there were too many handles to save him. Later, even the salesmen who had always cooperated closely were scared and changed their partners and abandoned him.
By the time Zuo Jing was successfully appointed as Lingyang, Fan Hengan's industries had been severely affected and were almost on the verge of bankruptcy. If Fang Mingtang could make up for his loss and take over Zuo Jing's position as secretary of the Qingzhou Municipal Party Committee, it would only be a matter of time for Fan Hengan to rise again. However, in the world, there is always a winner and a loser. Not only did Fang Mingtang fail to win Lingyang, but he also came to the end of his road in Qingzhou. He retreated to the second line and lost all his voice.
There are many rumors about the reasons for Fang Mingtang's failure, but the most reliable one is that it involves the factional struggle between Yu Peidong and Wu Wenyue. Fang Mingtang, who belongs to Wu's faction, has never been favored by Yu Peidong, but it is difficult to question him because there is no proper reason. This time, Fang Mingtang moved up and down to compete for the position of Lingyang, and some handles fell into Yu Peidong's hands, so he was easily driven out of office.
But Wu Wenyue was not someone to be trifled with. Losing Fang Mingtang was a minor matter, but Qingzhou could not be lost. After a round of negotiations in the province, Zhou Yuanting from the Wu faction took over the position of mayor, and the two sides barely managed to draw.
For Wu, this confrontation came to an end; for Zuo Fang, one person rose to heaven while the other fell to the ground, and each of them accepted their fate; but there was only one person who could not calmly accept such an ending!
That’s Fan Hengan!
He was born in a humble family. Relying on the trend of the times and his own courage, he worked hard for more than ten years to achieve his current status and become the envied Boss Fan Hengan. If he were to go back to being the little man Fan Hongxing that no one looked up to, he might as well just die!
So as soon as Zhou Yuanting came to power, based on the understanding that people in the same camp are brothers, Fan Hengan began to plan to take advantage of the general trend of state-owned enterprise reform and take over the Qinghua Factory by swallowing the bigger one with the help of the small one. He would then use the huge and good assets of the Qinghua Factory to withdraw a large amount of cash from the bank, and then use the chicken to lay eggs and transfuse blood to revitalize his own enterprises.
This was a brilliant plan. Zuo Jing was gone, Xu Fuyan was regarded as a secretary by the public, and Qingzhou was Zhou Yuanting's Qingzhou, so it would not be difficult to implement. But what Fan Hengan did not expect was that Zhou Yuanting actually rejected this proposal!
Zhou Yuanting was able to defeat Bai Changqian, the most capable general under Fang Mingtang, and successfully take over the position of mayor. He was naturally very cunning. He had long seen that Fan Hengan was now like a hungry wolf, and his greed was too ugly. He actually wanted to take over a state-owned factory with assets of hundreds of millions without spending a penny. If he continued to entangle with him, something big would happen sooner or later, so he rejected Fan's proposal outright.
But after all, the relationship between them is too deep, and he cannot offend Fan Hengan too much. He still promised to help raise some funds through other channels and let him make long-term plans.
For Zhou Yuanting, seeking stability is the top priority at the moment, but Fan Hengan obviously has no such intention. He was born a scoundrel, ruthless and cruel, and he felt that he had fallen into such a predicament today purely because of Fang Mingtang and Zhou Yuanting, so his anger naturally grew stronger.
So he took the risk on that summer night in July. Firstly, it was to vent his anger and let out the frustration he had endured from Zuo Jing. Secondly, and more importantly, it was to drag Zhou Yuanting into the water!
That night, when Zuo Yuxi was experiencing the biggest crisis in his life, Zhou Yuanting also met Fan Hengan in a secret private room. Fan Hengan told Zhou Yuanting without reservation what would happen to Zuo Yuxi after leaving his dinner party. Unless he agreed to promote the proposal to acquire the Qinghua Plant, once the news leaked out, with Zuo Jing's personality and current power, he, Fan, would certainly die, but Zhou Yuanting's fate would not be much better!
Zhou Yuanting didn't expect Fan Hengan to be so cruel. Looking at his gloomy and cold smile, he immediately lost his composure.
Zhou Yuanting paused as he spoke to Zuo Yuxi. Fan Hengan's words from that night resurfaced in his mind:
"Old Zhou, if you hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure, but you don't have to worry..."
"I had someone take her picture. With the picture in hand, I don't think she, a woman, would dare to say anything. Maybe even Zuo Jing wouldn't dare to say anything..."
"Don't worry, I just picked up a random gangster on the street. He has no relatives or friends, and only a sister in Guanshan. I sent someone to capture him. After the mission is accomplished, I will make him disappear. I guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
The temperature that day was as hot as it had been since midsummer. Listening to Fan Hengan's words, Zhou Yuanting's heart went cold, but at that time, he had no other choice!
After explaining the whole story, Zhou Yuanting said, "But I still say that if it's my fault, I admit it. If it's not my fault, I admit it too. But there is only one thing I must make clear to you - although I, Zhou Yuanting, have let down the country and the people of Qingzhou, and have committed unforgivable crimes, I will not use such cruel means on a woman for my own political purposes."
He stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked out the door. His upright figure became a little hunched. "That's all I have to say. Goodbye, Director Zuo." He paused, then smiled bitterly and said, "No need to say goodbye. Say hello to Secretary Zuo for me."
When he opened the door and prepared to go out, Zuo Yuxi's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Why are you telling me this now?"
"The reason why I chose to tell you when everything is settled is that I don't want you to think that I am using this matter to pretend to be pitiful and seek leniency from you." At this moment, Zhou Yuanting regained his usual domineering and calmness, and chuckled: "Now that the sentence has been sentenced, the sentence has been decided. I tell you this just to put myself at ease!"
Zuo Yuxi sat alone in the interrogation room for a long time. When he walked out again, he had let go of his hatred for Zhou Yuanting. Instead, he had an uncontrollable desire to die alone!
What is the madman who created all this doing now
Should I continue to live happily, waiting for a chance to escape? Or should I grin and laugh at my own powerlessness and ridiculousness in the face of reality
Zuo Yuxi bit her lower lip with her white teeth, her eyes filled with deep hatred. She stepped hard on the accelerator, and the Toyota roared into the winter streets, causing pedestrians on the road to scream.
At the same time, Qingzhou Detention Center.
Lin Zhen's car stopped. Zeng Yinquan had already led all the police officers waiting at the door. He ran over and opened the car door, saying with a smile, "Welcome Director Lin to guide our work!"
Lin Zhen was familiar with him, and he scolded him with a smile: "Don't do these empty things. Today I am the guest and I will follow your arrangements."
Zeng Yinquan glanced at the people behind him, and his implication was nothing more than: See, I have a special relationship with Director Lin. Whether you accept it or not, you better behave yourself!
He had also recently discovered signs of instability in the detention center, so he followed the advice of Deputy Director Meng Zhijie and invited Lin Zhen to come for an inspection and give him some support - Lin Zhen had been busy stabilizing the situation in the Municipal Bureau during this period, and although he had removed Liu Tianlai's confidants as soon as possible, this was the first time he had come to the detention center in person.
Lin Zhen walked into the detention center with a large crowd of people following him, and began his first inspection since taking office. Tao Ling, the most beautiful female police officer in the detention center, guided everyone to visit the different areas, and explained to Lin Zhen the functions of each department and the achievements made in recent years. She was a new wife, still immature, and gradually charming. Her eyebrows and eyes were full of love, her waist was slender, her hips were round, and her figure was swaying when she walked. Her dignified uniform gave off a sense of temptation. In addition, she was eloquent, capable and heroic, which was very much to Lin Zhen's liking.
This alone shows that there is a reason why Zeng Yinquan can win Lin Zhen's favor. During the tour, Lin Zhen nodded and smiled from time to time, and even joked with Tao Ling, which made Zeng Yinquan and others laugh. After the main tour was over, Zeng Yinquan winked at Ma Yiming, who immediately came over and said with a smile: "Director Lin, the station would like to invite you to give a legal education speech to the detainees. Zeng criticized us for not providing adequate legal education to the detainees, which did not have an immediate and shocking effect. I heard that you were in charge of legal education work in Guanshan, can you..."
"Okay, Old Ma, you are confronting me in person and launching a surprise attack. Do you want to make me suffer?" Lin Zhen pointed at him and laughed.
"I dare not, I dare not. It's just that I have read your article published in the People's Public Security before. In it, you mentioned the key points and difficulties of the guard work, especially the 'three-part theory' you proposed when talking about standardized management, namely 'separate custody, separate management, and separate education', which caused such a big response. If I can't hear your speech in person today, it will be a great loss for our station..."
This flattery was smooth and smooth, showing great skill, but flattering the leader of the leader is like slapping the leader in the face. Zeng Yinquan frowned slightly and had to be more careful with Ma Yiming in the future. Lin Zhen laughed: "I am not prepared at all, but since the comrades in the institute mentioned it, I will reluctantly talk about it. If it is not good, please criticize and correct me!"
Inviting the leader to speak was actually expected. Although it was not clearly stated in the itinerary, everyone was in the system, so how could they not join in the fun? There was an immediate applause. Zeng Yinquan gave instructions to keep Tao Ling and another deputy director Meng Zhijie, and the others, including Ma Yiming, were arranged to collect the prisoners.
This time, Lin Zhen sighed inwardly. No wonder Zeng Yinquan couldn't control the detention center. His future was over. Poor Zeng Yinquan, the director of the detention center, didn't know that he had been sentenced to death by his superiors. He happily invited Lin Zhen to his office for tea and rest.
Many times, success, failure, honor and disgrace all happen in a blink of an eye!
All the detainees were quickly gathered in the exercise yard and lined up in rows. Lin Zhen walked to the temporary rostrum and immediately saw Fan Hengan sitting in the front row on the left.
He has met Fan Hengan more than once!
In Qingzhou, there are only a dozen or so people who are influential enough, and Fan Hengan is definitely one of them. Lin Zhen was transferred from Guanshan to Qingzhou to take up a temporary post, and he was not close to all parties, so naturally he was not familiar with Fan Hengan. But whether it was what he saw with his own eyes or what he heard, Lin Zhen would never forget how arrogant, powerful, and domineering this man was.
Such a person could only stand in the audience, waiting to listen to his speech. At this moment, Lin Zhen's vanity and satisfaction even exceeded the pleasure he felt when he rode on Fan Mingzhu's flawless body last night!
(Sufficient text)
(Okay, I made a mistake. I was supposed to write 8,000 words today, and the whole book would reach 1.1 million words. After pushing Zuo Meimei and echoing the layout at the beginning, according to the outline, the first stage would be successfully concluded, but...)
(I’m afraid of everything, but it’s not a matter of time. Looking at my update time today, you can tell that it’s possible to write another 4,000 words. It’s just because I watched a movie today. As I said at the beginning, I listened to Those Years over and over again, and tears streamed down my face. If I were to write about sex scenes in this state, I’m sure you won’t like it, so don’t watch it tonight. I hope you’ll take the time to watch the movie. Apart from the movie itself, you will see the word youth)
(In addition, I will update Jiubadao’s Peking University speech in the works related section. I will not talk about the speech itself, but just treat it as a self-narrative article about the girl we chased together in those years. I was really moved)
(I am not a person who is easily moved. My wife cried when she watched Jinling. I just think it is indeed the best movie Zhang made since he was alive, but it is not enough to move me.)
