"don't want!"
Ji Su, who had been standing outside the door, turned around and witnessed this thrilling scene. His heart stopped beating in an instant, and his brain felt dizzy. He subconsciously rushed inside, but was pulled back by Chang Cheng from behind. Wen Liang had just given him a death order, no matter what happened, he had to stay by Ji Su's side. Thinking about it now, he was probably prepared for Gu Wenyuan, so he didn't expect this boss who was best at digging holes and burying people to have any accidents. With his skills, it was more than enough to deal with ten Gu Wenyuans.
However, Liu Tianlai was not as calm as Chang Cheng. Seeing the gleaming tip of the knife stabbing towards Wen Liang's chest, he was immediately frightened out of his wits. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. While shouting "Stop it!", he leaped over, but he was standing far away and it was too late.
"Murder, murder..."
A sneer flashed across Wen Liang's eyes, and he staggered back two steps in panic, his feet unstable, his body leaning back, as if he was about to fall to the ground in the next moment. His right hand seemed to grab randomly in the air, but it just happened to pinch Gu Wenyuan's wrist holding the knife, and his fingertips suddenly exerted force on the pulse gate, and lightly snatched the knife away. Then he swung it in front of him twice without any rules, and the sharp long knife just passed through Gu Wenyuan's handsome face, and his feet flew up at the same time, kicking him hard in the vital part of his lower body.
A shrill scream and two figures falling backwards, mixed with the flashing of swords and splattering blood, outlined a cruel picture of youth, as if writing the final period for all the entanglements of past and present lives!
Bang, bang!
The two men hit the ground with their backs almost at the same time. Wen Liang was still shouting in horror that he had killed someone, but the murderer Gu Wenyuan curled up like a shrimp, covering his right face with both hands, his legs tightly closed, blood gushing out from between his fingers, and his whole body twisted in pain.
All this happened in a flash. From an outsider's perspective, it seemed that Gu Wenyuan suddenly broke free from Wen Liang's restraints and stabbed Wen Liang with a knife, clearly intending to kill him. Wen Liang was in a panic and couldn't dodge in time. In the process of falling backwards, he somehow kicked Gu Wenyuan and wounded him with a knife. It was really a stroke of luck for Wen Liang.
"Master Wen, Master Wen, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Liu Tianlai arrived at this time and hurriedly helped Wen Liang up, checking him up to make sure he was not injured. Wen Liang was breathing heavily and looked frightened. He said, "No, it's okay, don't worry..."
Liu Tianlai breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and shouted angrily, "What the hell are you standing there for? Cuff them all, cuff them all!"
The police officers also reacted. They first subdued Gu Wenyuan who was lying on the ground wailing, and then handcuffed Bai Huan, Mu Shanshan and others with their hands behind their backs, and took them to the police cars outside one by one.
"Director Liu, this guy can't walk. I think he's seriously injured. What should we do?"
Two policemen were trying to pull Gu Wenyuan up from the ground, one on each side. However, the usually arrogant Mr. Gu now had blood all over his face, and was crying and shouting. From his eye socket to the corner of his lips, one could see a deep knife wound with flesh and blood protruding outwards. His body was wriggling like a maggot, and the tragic scene was unbearable to watch.
"Call an ambulance. Even a scumbag should have his rights!"
Wen Liang took a last look at Gu Wenyuan. This knife and kick first destroyed his face and then cut off his roots. It was far more cruel than killing him. From now on, this person will become the past, completely disappearing from his sight, no longer worthy of any attention!
When she walked out of the door, Ji Su could no longer hold back her tears. She burst into tears and threw herself into Wen Liang's arms, hugging his waist tightly, and sobbed uncontrollably.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Wen Liang comforted Ji Su softly, but his eyes were looking at the cold moon hanging high in the sky through the night sky. He had thought about how to defeat Gu Wenyuan many times in his previous life, but when the moment came, he did not feel much satisfaction in his heart. He was so calm that even he found it strange.
Perhaps after living a second life, having experienced too many things and standing at a higher level, the entanglement with Gu Wenyuan is more like a childhood memory. Defeating him and beating him is just a habitual task that must be completed, and is no longer a goal and desire in life.
But no matter what, it is an explanation to my previous life. Only after letting go of all this can I start the real journey of this life!
Municipal Party Committee Building.
Wen Huaiming sat in his office, drinking tea one cup after another, and kept looking at his watch. The ticking sound of the hour hand had never made him feel so irritated, and it had never crawled so slowly like a snail. Wen Liang's incoherent words made him very uneasy. Even Bai Wei, who came to report on her work, was scolded. Those on duty at night knew that the secretary-general was in a bad mood today, and even walked much more lightly when passing by his office. Now that the reforms led by Wen Huaiming have begun to bear fruit, he has money and people in his hands, and his authority has soared. Although he is still ranked at the bottom of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, his words carry more weight day by day.
The ringing of the landline phone broke the silence in the room. Wen Huaiming exhaled lightly, picked up the receiver and said, "Hello!"
"Dad, I'm recording my statement at the Public Security Bureau. Liu Tianlai will go with you to report the situation to Secretary Xu..."
"What happened?"
A gentle laugh came from the other end: "It's a small matter. I just dealt with Gu Wenyuan. But you have to be careful that Gu Shitong doesn't go crazy. You and Secretary Xu should be mentally prepared..."
Wen Huaiming's heart skipped a beat. If Wen Liang was so serious about this matter, it must be very serious. He said, "Tell me clearly, what happened?"
"Don't get excited. Are you afraid that I will kill him? Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I just got a little disfigured. Besides, I can't be a man anymore in this life!"
"… "
"Dad, Dad, are you still there?"
"... Uh, wait a minute, I'll go to the police station right away!"
Wen Huaiming woke up with a start, hung up the phone and walked out of the office quickly. A staff member happened to pass by and asked with a smile: "Is the Secretary General gone?"
Wen Huaiming ignored him, hurried downstairs, called the driver and went straight to the Public Security Bureau.
Gu Shitong only has this one son. If it is really as Wen Liang said, how can he let it go? How much more trouble will he cause and how many people will be trapped in it
However, Wen Huaiming believed that Wen Liang must have enough reasons. He trusted his son and had enough confidence to face the coming storm!
Mu Zechen was working overtime at the company when he received the call. He could hardly believe his ears: Gu Wenyuan was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital. The cause and extent of the injury were unknown? He repeated it several times before accepting this fact, but he did not dare to call Gu Shitong. He rushed out of the office in a hurry, startling the secretary sitting at the door. He stood up hurriedly and stared at the usually calm boss running away.
Mu Zechen led his men to the Municipal People's Hospital as quickly as possible. Six police officers stood at the door of the emergency room, blocking him from entering. Mu Zechen was furious. He didn't take the policemen seriously at all. He waved his hand and rushed forward. A loud shout came from the side of the corridor: "What are you doing? Are you attacking the police?"
The person who came over was Geng Chao. Liu Tianlai would be in charge of the overall situation in the Municipal Bureau, so this place would be handed over to him to take care of. Before he came, he gave a strict order that no one was allowed to approach Gu Wenyuan, especially Mu Zechen.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Mu? Why are you here?"
Mu Zechen was in no mood to waste his time with Geng Chao, so he said, "Director Geng, I won't ask you why Wen Yuan became like this. Now I just want to go in and see him. If you still give me face, don't block my way."
Geng Chao said in embarrassment: "Boss Mu, it's not that I don't want you to come in. The doctor said that it's an emergency and no one is allowed to come in. If you rush in and disturb the doctor, it may have a negative impact on Gu Wenyuan's treatment. Listen to my brother and wait outside. I'll let you see him sooner or later!"
When Mu Zechen heard the words "emergency rescue", his eyes went dark, his legs went weak, his throat felt dry and his mouth was astringent. He even had difficulty speaking, so he said, "Geng Chao, get out of the way!"
Geng Chao shook his head and said sarcastically, "Boss Mu, don't mention that he needs emergency treatment now. Even if he is fine, he is still a criminal suspect. You can't just see him whenever you want!"
Mu Zechen was a tyrant after all. He knew that tonight's incident would never end peacefully. His expression became extremely gloomy and he said coldly, "You are shameless. I'll see who dares to stop me!"
On the one hand, he had to see Gu Wenyuan with his own eyes. Only by seeing his injuries with his own eyes would he have the courage to make a detailed report to Gu Shitong; on the other hand, he had to know what had happened before the police transferred Gu Wenyuan to another detention center. Only by knowing the ins and outs of the matter could he make corresponding arrangements.
As soon as he took a step forward, a gun was pointed at his forehead. Geng Chao said expressionlessly: "I'm warning you, if you dare to take another step forward, don't blame me for shooting!"
Geng Chao knew that this time he had completely broken off relations with the Gu family. As Liu Tianlai's direct descendant, he chose to follow Liu Tianlai's footsteps without any hesitation.
Since you are tough, be tough to the end!
Mu Zechen's men were used to such scenes, and were not afraid of the pistols. They all surrounded Geng Chao, staring at him with fierce eyes. Seeing this, several other police officers also quickly pulled out their guns, and the atmosphere of the standoff became extremely tense.
"You dare to shoot?"
Mu Zechen's tone was full of disdain. Geng Chao's palms were sweating, but his face remained calm. He said, "This is not the first time I've fired a gun, and it won't be the last. Mr. Mu is a smart man. Do you want to gamble with your life?"
It was only then that Mu Zechen realized that he had always underestimated Geng Chao. This director of the West City Branch had risen through the ranks to become the executive deputy director of the Municipal Bureau because of his affinity with Liu Tianlai. The outside world viewed him as a dog raised by Liu Tianlai that would bite wherever Liu Tianlai pointed at it, but they overlooked the fact that this dog itself had the ability to bite.
At this moment, the door of the emergency room opened and the doctor came out. He was so scared by the scene outside that he took two steps back. Mu Zechen didn't care about the gunshot on his forehead and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is the patient?"
"The face was stitched, and the bleeding has stopped. There may be scars in the future, but it's not a big deal..." The doctor sighed and said, "It's just that the lower body was severely injured. I'm afraid it won't work..."
Mu Zechen was relieved after hearing the first part, but then he became worried again. He asked, "What does 'no' mean?"
The doctor had recovered by now. With so many policemen around, there was nothing to be afraid of. His face froze and he said, "No, it's no good. A man can't have sex down there. What else can that mean?"
Mu Zechen seemed to hear a thunderclap in his ears, and could even imagine the rage that would erupt when Gu Shitong heard the bad news. He grabbed the doctor's hand and said, "Doctor, tell me, is there any possibility of recovery for a condition like his?"
The doctor was very unhappy, but seeing that Geng Chao remained silent, he still replied: "Based on my experience, there should be no hope. Of course, our medical facilities and technical level are limited. If we go to a large hospital in Beijing or Shanghai or go abroad, there may be hope of recovery!"
"Yes, yes!"
Mu Zechen was a little incoherent and said, "Transfer to another hospital, transfer to another hospital quickly!"
"But let me be frank. His condition is very serious and he must undergo surgery immediately. If you force him to be transferred to another hospital, we will not be responsible for any consequences!"
Seeing Mu Zechen's lost soul, Geng Chao secretly shook his head. It was said that this President Mu was so great, but he was so at a loss when faced with a problem. It was really disappointing to meet him in person. He didn't know that the reason why Mu Zechen lost his composure was not Gu Wenyuan's injury, but the powerlessness and fear of facing Gu Shitong's anger. Qi Shu's previous experience had a greater impact on him than he imagined.
"Boss Mu, you can't make up your mind either. Why don't you ask someone who can make a decision for advice? Also, I've said before that Gu Wenyuan is a criminal suspect now. All his actions must be approved by the bureau. I've been ordered to stay in the hospital. It's no use for you to make things difficult for me!"
Mu Zechen knew that now was not the time to be anxious. What Geng Chao said made sense. Arguing with him here would only be a waste of time. Every extra second wasted would delay Gu Wenyuan by one second. He turned around and walked outside and called Gu Shitong!
This night kept many people awake again!
First, when Xu Fuyan was listening to Liu Tianlai's report, he received a call from Gu Shitong, who asked him to immediately transfer Gu Wenyuan to a large hospital in Beijing for treatment. Qingzhou Airport had arranged a special plane and was just waiting for the Public Security Bureau to release him. After consulting Wen Huaiming, Liu Tianlai and the hospital, Xu Fuyan rejected Gu Shitong's request on the grounds that Gu Wenyuan was suspected of kidnapping, rape, murder and other serious criminal cases, and that there was a high risk of him escaping during the transfer to Beijing, and that the local hospital was fully capable of treating him.
Next was Ji Zheng. After learning that Ji Su almost got into trouble, he immediately called He Xihua to express his strong indignation and determination to get to the bottom of the matter. He Xihua also felt that the fault was with Gu Fang this time. He was so lawless at such a young age, and he would be worse off when he grew up. So when Gu Shitong was frustrated by Xu Fuyan and called He Xihua for help, He Xihua did not answer the phone.
He Xihua and Gu Shitong had a very close relationship, but because of the unpleasant things about Xinxing Factory, some problems arose. Later, Ji Zheng took over the hot potato of Xinxing Factory and brought it back to life through a series of drastic reforms. The Huaihe River management project also helped the PAM Technology Research Institute to gain a lot of attention, which earned He Xihua, who had started the research institute, a lot of face in front of the central leadership.
Ji Zheng was usually a very good person. They would meet up with He Xihua every now and then for a drink, and He Xihua never had to worry about him at all. Compared with the two, this senior executive was already giving face to Gu Shitong by not helping either of them.
After rejecting Gu Shitong, Xu Fuyan did not dare to neglect to contact Yin Qingquan, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Yin Qingquan was furious about such a vicious case happening among young boys and girls, especially when he heard that Gu Wenyuan had committed the crime in front of the police, he was so arrogant and rampant that he immediately gave instructions to transfer experts from Guanshan to Qingzhou for consultation and treatment of Gu Wenyuan; on the other hand, he should step up the investigation of the case and obtain evidence, and the law must not be disregarded because of the privileges of some people.
Yin Qingquan's words reached Wen Liang's ears. He was drinking tea in Director Liu Tianlai's office. Liu Tianlai smiled and said, "I didn't expect Secretary Yin to be such a righteous person..."
Is Yin Qingquan really so righteous? Of course, there are some factors, but more of them involve conflicts of interest. In the political structure of Jiangdong Province, Yu Peidong has always been the only one who controls the ups and downs and honors and disgraces of everyone; Wu Wenyue is the second oldest, and he has gathered a group of people around him, sometimes competing with Yu Peidong and sometimes cooperating with him, but cooperation is the main thing; Yin Qingquan is the third oldest, and he unites around Yu Peidong. He doesn't talk much and is not high-profile, but sometimes he follows Yu Peidong's wishes and fights with Wu Wenyue. His fighting power is quite amazing. It is rumored that he also has supporters in Beijing, so no one dares to ignore his existence, and naturally he has also won over some people to follow him, Xu Fuyan is one of them.
These three parties can basically decide all the affairs of Jiangdong Province. If you want to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, you can't be related to any of them. If a smart and far-sighted businessman wants to stay in the Republic for a long time, the first thing he must learn is not to take sides. You can get involved in officialdom, but never get involved in politics. Unfortunately, many people don't understand this until they are imprisoned and their families are broken up.
The amazing thing about Gu Shitong is that he has good relations with the three parties, which is something that even Wen Liang can't compare to. Wen Liang has good relations with Yu Peidong and Yin Qingquan, but he offended Wu Wenyue badly, while Gu Shitong can move freely between the three parties, which is one of the reasons why Minghua Group has been able to grow to such a level in ten years.
But with the J faction being purged last year, Wu Wenyue secretly tried to test Yu Peidong, and Gu Shitong might have been trapped in the situation and helped a little behind the scenes, but it did not touch Yu Peidong's bottom line, so he was not pursued afterwards. But Wen Liang clashed with Gu Shitong several times, and Yu Peidong slightly sided with Wen Liang, which was considered a warning to him.
But for Yin Qingquan, Gu Shitong's action was a dangerous signal! (To be continued)
