Ji Zheng tilted his head back slightly, not flinching under Wen Liang's gaze, and sneered, "Little classmate, don't be so self-righteous. Last night's conversation came out of his mouth and entered my ears. Do you know what we talked about?"
Wen Liang laughed loudly, retracted his forward leaning body, walked from behind the table to Ji Zheng's side, and patted him on the shoulder gently: "I was not sure at first, but seeing you deny it so quickly, I am convinced of my judgment. Director Ji, let's not beat around the bush. You and I know exactly what conditions Mu Zechen gave you. Instead of wasting time on talking, you might as well think about it carefully. Do you want to exchange your daughter's happiness for a simple freedom, or do you want to cooperate with me, walk out of here openly, and pursue the future that is within your reach?"
Ji Zheng remained silent. He was not sure where Wen Liang's confidence came from. After all, what happened yesterday would never be spread. But it was undeniable that after these few brief encounters, he no longer dared to look down on Wen Liang.
Heroes have always emerged from youth!
"Who are you?" Ji Zheng felt frustrated. In just two days, his confidence was shattered by two men in different ways. But this does not mean that his ability is inferior to Mu Zechen and Wen Liang. It can only be said that in this game that requires courage, boldness, strength, background, network and confidence, he has too few chips in his hand.
Wen Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My name is Wen Liang, and I'm Ji Su's classmate. Uncle Ji, nice to meet you."
The change from Director Ji to Uncle Ji may seem like just two words, but the intrigues during that time have cost them countless efforts. Ji Zheng looked at Wen Liang's innocent face and asked in a deep voice, "I don't understand. Mu Zechen came to help me, so he had a good reason. What about you? What do you want me to do? Don't use Director Zuo's trick to fool me. There is no such thing as a fool.
For a free lunch, the benefits and risks must always be proportional. We are all smart people, so let's stop talking nonsense."
As soon as these words came out, it showed that Ji Zheng had a real intention to cooperate. Wen Liang clapped his hands, making a crisp sound: "Great! What I want you to do is not as difficult as you think. Maybe you will be happy to hear it - how about we work together to overthrow Yuan Dazhu?"
Ji Zheng did not show any surprise, but frowned and carefully observed Wen Liang's expression. Unfortunately, this boy was like a sculpture carved out of ice, and it was impossible to touch his true heart from the outside. Ji Zheng rarely had this feeling towards people. Even when facing Mu Zechen, his intentions, his requests, and even the conditions he wanted to offer were all within the scope of Ji Zheng's guess. But the boy in front of him was different. Which of his words was true, which was false, and which actions had deep meanings were all unpredictable and untraceable.
Overthrow Yuan Dazhu
No matter how you look at it, this condition is only beneficial to me. Did Wen Liang and Zuo Yuxi rush here overnight just to rescue me, and then bully Yuan Dazhu to avenge themselves
There may be Lei Fengs in this world, but the man and woman in front of them are definitely not good people. Ji Zheng had too little information to make a decision. He pondered for a moment and said, "It's very difficult to bring down Yuan Dazhu! You must be aware of the current situation in the city. Zhou Yuanting will never let Yuan Dazhu get into trouble at this time. He is fully responsible for the negotiations with Fan Hengan. Director Zuo, Wen... Wen Liang, it's not that I don't believe in your abilities. If you want to deal with Yuan Dazhu, I will follow your lead without hesitation. However, he is now involved in Zhou Yuanting's overall layout, just like he has obtained a death-free certificate. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to bring him down!"
Wen Liang smiled slightly, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, and whispered: "How about getting rid of Zhou Yuanting as well?"
After so much preparation, this sentence was the basis of all his plans and the biggest challenge in persuading Ji Zheng. So from the moment he entered the door, Wen Liang was like a hypnotist, guiding him step by step, from easy to difficult, and building the steps step by step to here, reducing the possibility of Ji Zheng retreating in fear as soon as he heard it to the lowest level.
This was the best Wen Liang could do within the limited time. But what he didn't expect was that Ji Zheng, who always kept his emotions to himself and was unfathomable, was still shocked on the spot, staring at Wen Liang in amazement, unable to utter a word.
The room suddenly became extremely cold, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it could break the wings of a flying goose. After a long time, Ji Zheng's hoarse voice sounded: "Are you serious?"
Wen Liang asked back, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Ji Zheng suddenly started coughing violently, as if his lungs were about to burst if he wasn't careful. "Director Zuo, what do you say?"
"His words are my words!" Zuo Yuxi is undoubtedly the best partner for a supporting role. Her light tone and cold appearance can inexplicably put enormous pressure on the other party.
Ji Zheng suddenly realized that everything was just a cover-up. These two people came here just for Zhou Yuanting. When he thought of this, he felt a chill in his heart, but he kept saying the word "difficult" three times: "Difficult, difficult, difficult! I just said that it's difficult to even bring down Yuan Dazhu, let alone Zhou Yuanting?"
Zuo Yuxi couldn't help but ask: "Since you understand this, why did you conspire with He Xiaobo to get Yuan Dazhu?" In the public security system, with Liu Tianlai's identity, it would be a piece of cake for him to know the ins and outs of Ji Zheng's coming in.
Ji Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Even you know about it... I just drank too much that day and mentioned a few things to He Xiaobo. I had collected some evidence of Yuan Dazhu's crimes on weekdays, and once the opportunity came, I would gather some people to jointly sue him. Unexpectedly, he sold me out the moment he turned around... My friend, haha!"
"Since there is evidence, then..."
Ji Zheng interrupted Zuo Yuxi and said resolutely: "It's impossible! The evidence I got is just that Yuan Dazhu intercepted three months' salary to do business. This matter can't hurt him at all. As long as the money is recorded before the investigation, at most he will be given a party warning. If you have such a big idea just for this little thing in my hand, I have to say from my heart, this is a way to death!"
"What if it's not just these?" Wen Liang suddenly interrupted.
"Well, what do you mean?"
Wen Liang had a strange expression on his face and said, "Uncle Ji, you know much more about the seriousness of the problems at the Qinghua Plant than an outsider like me. Did Yuan Dazhu just withhold wages? From 1989 to the present, he used foreign investment and the development of external markets to transfer huge amounts of embezzled funds. The 75 acres of land of the former ion membrane caustic soda plant was mortgaged to the bank last year and then transferred to Yongan Real Estate Development Company through auction. The auction price was more than 5 million yuan lower than the normal market price. Where did the money go? And..."
Ji Zheng had been sitting there in a daze since Wen Liang mentioned "foreign investment". At this point, he could no longer hold back and stood up, pointing at Wen Liang and trembling, "Who are you?"
The chair flipped backwards with a loud thud as Ji Zheng asked in surprise.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that Director Ji has spent so much effort over the years collecting this evidence, isn't it just to dig out these termites that have eroded state-owned assets one by one and expose them to the world one day, to eliminate the harm for the people? But you can't do such a big thing alone, and I," Wen Liang stood up and said in an extremely sincere tone, "can help you!"
Countless voices rang in Ji Zheng's mind, and countless thoughts turned around in his heart. This was the most secret secret he had buried deep in his heart, a secret that even his wife and daughter didn't know. Yuan Dazhu and Mu Zechen all thought that Ji Zheng was just resentful of being marginalized, and wanted to find a little handle to deal with the leader. But all these secrets were set up by Wen Liang layer by layer, and he was pressed step by step, and he was stripped of everything.
Is he cheating? Or is he confident? Is he an enemy or a friend
Ji Zheng looked at the young man with a complicated expression and hesitation in his eyes.
Seeing that Ji Zheng still wanted to fight back, Wen Liang let out a cold smile, "Director Ji, nothing in this world can be hidden in darkness forever. If I know it, others can know it too. By then, the best outcome Director Ji can hope for is to spend the rest of his life in a cold and damp little black kiln. If you're not careful, whether you can keep this good life or not depends on God's mood."
This blatant threat made Ji Zheng realize that he actually had no other choice. From the moment Wen Liang came in, his ultimate goal was to force himself into this situation and then he could only choose to surrender.
"I'll join you!" Ji Zheng slammed his fist on the table. He always made people feel gloomy, but suddenly he became so bold. Wen Liang and Zuo Yuxi couldn't help but look at him sideways.
Decisive and ruthless, this is the common evaluation of Ji Zheng by Wen Liang and Mu Zechen!
Wen Liang laughed loudly, walked up to Ji Zheng, shook his hand vigorously and said, "We have common enemies and common interests. Uncle Ji, you will soon find that the decision you make tonight will be the wisest one in your life!"
Ji Zheng asked the question again: "Wen Liang, who are you? You have to understand that even if you have what I have, even if Director Zuo's father is working hard at the top, it is still far from enough to deal with Zhou Yuanting!" But this time, his tone was full of respect, and he no longer dared to show any contempt.
"I am Wen Liang, and I have a father. Maybe you have heard of him. His name is Wen Huaiming!"
Ji Zheng was very smart. He understood from this sentence where Wen Liang's confidence came from. Wen Huaiming was Xu Fuyan's first confidant. Who in Qingzhou didn't know him? He was originally worried. How could Zuo Yuxi overthrow Zhou Yuanting? But now with Xu Fuyan, all this was not a problem. He vaguely remembered the first sentence Zuo Yuxi said when he saw her:
I want to give Director Ji a bright future and great wealth!
