Viper was sitting in the Land Rover. When he saw the man rushing towards Wen Liang, it was too late. He rushed over at this moment, his palms covered with cold sweat. He immediately stood in front of Wen Liang, a cold light flashed between his fingers.
Wen Liang glared at him coldly, then Dushe put his hand back in his arms, lowered his head and walked away.
"Director Yao, why don't you introduce who this is?"
The man took advantage of Yao Shang's distraction and broke free. He hid aside with his hands covering his ears, and shouted in dissatisfaction: "We agreed not to pull my ears, but you still pulled them. This is not fair! And you, what are you looking at? Haven't you seen a wife beating her husband? If you keep looking, I'll take you to the police station and lock you up for thirty-three days!"
Yao Shang said angrily: "Are you still talking nonsense?"
Fortunately, Wen Liang was very patient and smiled, "Of course I have seen wives beat their husbands, but this is the first time that a husband has been beaten to such an extent that he cried and screamed."
"Hey, you're such a rude person!" The man rolled up his sleeves and walked over, waving his hand to slap Wen Liang in the face: "You dare to make fun of my grandfather? Are you asking for a slap?"
Yao Shang's face immediately changed. Before he could stop her, Wen Liang suddenly grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm behind his back. He kicked the man lightly in the knee and he fell to his knees. This little grappling move was learned from Xu Yao. It was indeed a must-have trick for fighting and stepping on people. Wen Liang raised his hand, exerted a little force, and said with a smile: "Not only am I rude, but I am also rude with my hands. Who is asking for a beating now?"
The man fell to the ground in pain, his face touching the ground, his mouth full of ashes. He lost his previous arrogance and wailed at the top of his voice: "Sister, save me, save me quickly."
Wen Liang had long guessed that this guy would not be Yao Shang's husband. Given Yao Shang's personality, even if her husband was useless, she would not pull his ears in front of outsiders to embarrass him. So he kicked him on the butt and said teasingly, "Ha, didn't you call me wife just now? How come you're sister now?"
Yao Shang's face turned red with anger, and she said angrily: "I don't have a brother like you. I will tell your brother-in-law today to send you back to Huaitong!"
Shi Ruyang said with a sad face: "Sister, I was wrong. I just wanted to play a joke on this brother. Please ask him to let me go. Brother, you are awesome. Xiao Chang, I am convinced. I am really convinced."
An old man with eyelids so loose that they are almost touching his cheekbones, his face is sallow and he looks listless. He is so weak that he can be knocked over by a little finger. It is obvious that this is due to some kind of entertainment that he watches too frequently. He even shamelessly calls himself Xiao Chang Xiao Chang. What a funny guy!
Wen Liang felt a sour stomach and let go of his hand. The man hurriedly got up and hid behind Yao Shang. He smiled flatteringly, "Sister, I finally got out of Huaitong. Can you please have mercy and not send me back?"
Yao Shang obviously had no way to deal with this funny guy, and angrily scolded him, "Get lost!"
Shi Ruyang laughed along, gambled briskly, and turned the car around and drove away!
Yao Shang was so angry about this farce that her body was trembling slightly. It took her a while to calm down. She looked at Wen Liang with some embarrassment and said, "Boss Wen, I'm sorry for making a fool of myself."
"It's okay. Who was that just now?"
Yao Shang sighed, and her teeth itched with hatred when she mentioned Shi Ruyang: "My uncle was nearly fifty years old when he got this precious baby. He was spoiled since he was a child. Huaitong made the family in chaos, so I found a way to bring him here to drive for my wife. I thought he would be more obedient after seeing the world, but he is still so outspoken and has the character of a gangster!"
Wen Liang was surprised and said, "Is he really your brother? My wife and husband are joking. I thought it was just a friend playing a joke. Uh, how old is he this year?"
"It's only twenty after March..."
Wen Liang was really speechless. What kind of brutal life experience could turn a young man of only twenty into the appearance of a thirty-year-old man!
After saying goodbye to Yao Shang and watching her return to the county party committee compound, Wen Liang thought for a moment, waved over Dushe, and whispered, "Go find Shi Ruyang and find out his background."
The slender eyes hidden under the hat of Viper suddenly flashed a cold light, and he nodded and turned to leave. Wen Liang called him again and reminded him: "Remember, this is Wu Jiang, just try to get his words out, don't cause me any trouble!"
Dushe had been wearing a hat and had just stayed aside, so Shi Ruyang probably didn't see his face clearly. Once he changed his clothes and took off his hat, he would be like a stranger. These were all tricks that gangsters were good at. Wen Liang didn't worry about any mistakes. The only thing he could worry about was that Dushe was too cruel. If he didn't explain clearly, he might tie up Shi Ruyang and beat him up.
Wen Liang returned to the company. An Baoqing and others had been waiting for a long time. When they heard him say that Fu Minzhi had agreed to fully support the cooperative plan, they were all delighted. The four of them held a short meeting to discuss the next steps and publicity strategies. After finishing these important matters, Ye Zhiwei was about to prepare for dinner. Wen Liang had not had a sip of water or a bite of food since he arrived in Wujiang in the morning. Unexpectedly, Wen Liang waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then changed the subject and turned to An Baoqing and said:
"Brother Jiu, although the matter of the tea garden has been basically resolved, Wujiang is not as peaceful as it seems..."
After listening to this, An Baoqing frowned and said, "Is the news reliable? Yao Shang is just a deputy director of the county party committee office, how could he know such inside information? Old Ye and Old Fan have been interacting with the city leaders recently, but they have never heard any rumors!"
"It is precisely because of this secrecy that it means that there is at least a 90% chance that Fu Minzhi will seek the position of deputy mayor!" Wen Liang rubbed his brow with his fingers. In the domestic environment, businessmen who do not understand politics will either not live long or die quickly. There is absolutely no other choice. He stood up and said, "I'm afraid Yao Shang's background is not simple. She must have a source of information. Since someone wants to drag us into a game where they set the rules, we can't just sit and wait for death. How about this, you go to Wuzhou in person, let Fan Bo go with you, and ask the leaders who have a say in the city for information. Ye Zhiwei stays here, I have something else for you to do."
The reason why An Baoqing was asked to do it personally was naturally because he was not confident in Fan Bo's ability to communicate with people above and below him. After the two of them left, Wen Liang asked, "Boss Ye, how much do you know about Yao Shang?"
Ye Zhiwei said respectfully, "Not much. I met her two or three times when I went to the county to do business. I didn't say as much as President Wen did to her today. She should be a very quiet person!"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here, so why call me President Wen? My name is President Wen, but it's fake. After these trivial matters are resolved, Biluochun will still rely on you to be the boss."
"Same, if you hadn't come here, this would have been..."
"Let's not talk about this anymore!" Wen Liang pointed at him and joked, "Compared to Zhao Xiaoquan from Xiting, your level of flattery is far inferior, Old Ye."
Thinking of the wretched and weird Mayor Zhao, they both laughed out loud.
"You go, no matter what method you use, you must find out Yao Shang's details! The most important thing is to find out her husband's background, family background, and resume before he was transferred to Wujiang. Do you understand?"
Ye Zhiwei nodded, and the moment he pushed the door open, he saw Wen Liang closing his eyes with a tired look on his face. He quickly closed the door quietly, and at the same time asked someone to guard the door and not let anyone in to disturb him.
In the evening, Dushe was the first to come back, followed by Ye Zhiwei a little later. They each reported their findings.
Shi Ruyang is indeed Yao Shang's cousin. His hometown is Huaitong. According to his own words, he should be a street thug, not at the same level as people like Dushe. Yao Shang's lover is Wei Yan, about 28 years old, currently a senior official of the Wujiang County Youth League. However, he was transferred to Wujiang to work in October 1995, and Yao Shang followed him and arranged to work in the county party committee office. In view of Shi Ruyang's incompetence in his hometown, Yao Shang brought him to Wujiang, and he is currently driving for Wei Yan.
This part has been verified, indicating that Yao Shang did not lie. Wen Liang asked: "What is Wei Yan's background, and what unit did he work in before?"
Ye Zhiwei was confused and said, "This is the weird part. Although Wei Yan only came to Wujiang last year, more than two months have passed, and no one knows anything about his background except that he was parachuted in from the Huaitong Youth League Municipal Committee... Isn't it said that there is no privacy in the officialdom?"
Wen Liang smiled slightly and said, "There is no privacy in the officialdom. It's just that the person who gave you the information is not of a high enough rank. Maybe Fu Minzhi knows Wei Yan's background."
Wei Yan was only 28 years old when he got to a high-ranking position in a county. It was not slow, but it was not fast either. According to general estimates, even if he had a backer, he was not that powerful. This was also the reason why Fu Minzhi dared to set his sights on Yao Shang.
But the problem is, the confidence revealed in Yao Shang's words, as well as the disdain with which she mentioned Fu Minzhi, made Wen Liang feel that she must have the confidence.
The investigations by Viper and Ye Zhiwei also confirmed this - it was precisely because Wei Yan's background was too strong that no useful information could be found!
but…
Wen Liang's eyes focused, and he suddenly thought of another possibility. What if Yao Shang had been pretending from the beginning to the end, deliberately using words to guide Wen Liang to think in this direction, but at the right time revealed the news that Fu Minzhi and others were fighting over Biluochun, and then used Wen Liang's hand to embarrass or get rid of Fu Minzhi to help herself get out of this situation...
Given her position and beauty, it was not surprising that she could hear such inside information by chance. Moreover, Shi Ruyang's appearance was simply too coincidental!
From the first time they met, there was an ambiguous closeness, an unobstructed charm, and just the right amount of weakness. Thinking about it now, what was it that made a well-married young woman who was unanimously considered dignified and beautiful by everyone look at Uncle Wen differently
Is it just because of what she said: When I first saw you, I felt that you were a different person...
Women are born to be movie queens.
Men who believe what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears are idiots!
And Wen Liang is definitely not an idiot!
