Ling Xiao has been stranded in Yanjing for more than five days, and no news has come out. But this in itself is a signal that she is still fighting and still has a chance.
The current situation is actually unfair, the Ling and Xiao families can get in touch with the one above, but the rest of the Fang family cannot.
Feeling helpless, waiting to die.
Xu Tingsheng didn't dare to imagine that he could participate in the competition at Yanjing's level. The only thing he can do now is to hope that through his own efforts, the situation in Yanzhou can be settled as soon as possible.
Once the matter is settled, the possibility of the above person forcibly flipping will be reduced, just reduced, but this is the only thing that can be done at present.
An unexpected news came from Yanjing that Chen Jianxing was leaving Yanjing and returning to Yanzhou.
"It's not right. It doesn't make sense..."
Xu Tingsheng became worried as soon as he received the news. Regardless of whether or not the evidence collection has been completed, Chen Jianxing, as a key figure in a huge official turmoil, should not return to the public eye at this time.
This is tantamount to throwing the most important witness into a suspect's cage, and putting Chen Jianxing on a dry woodpile soaked in oil. Someone is pushing him to die.
"What are they going to do? Is it... going to fall short?"
On the one hand, he was speculating about the meaning behind this incident, and on the other hand, he was worried about Chen Jianxing's personal safety.
Xu Tingsheng waited all night for Chen Jianxing to contact him, and he was also unable to contact him. There is no airport in Yanzhou, so he took Zhong Wusheng and Du Jiang with him early in the morning, and drove two cars to Xihu City Airport to wait.
They waited in the parking lot, as flights from Yanjing landed one after another, Xu Tingsheng's nerves tensed again and again. No matter because of events or people, or because of the lonely and patient mother and daughter who have been waiting, he will keep Chen Jianxing.
Finally, a public phone number appeared on Xu Tingsheng's phone screen.
"It's me." The voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xu Tingsheng heard Chen Jianxing's voice, and asked directly, "Where are you?"
"Inside the airport." Chen Jianxing replied.
"Is there an escort?"
"Someone in Yanjing sent me to the airport to board the plane, but here... no."
"Don't come out. Wait for my arrangement." Xu Tingsheng said decisively.
"I know." Chen Jianxing knew his situation, and there were probably countless pairs of eyes staring at him, waiting for him to leave the airport. There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and Chen Jianxing finally asked, "Are they all right?"
"Don't worry, they are fine and safe." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Thank you. What about future arrangements?"
"They will go to Singapore, house, school... everything is almost arranged."
"Singapore? Very good. There are also many Chinese, and they can easily adapt to work, study, and life. Thank you for being so thoughtful."
"What are you being polite about? Well, you..." Xu Tingsheng didn't know whether to refer to your wife or your ex-wife, and finally he could only say, "She said that she hoped you could forgive her, and said... that she would wait for you to come together."
"No, absolutely not," Chen Jianxing said emotionally, "You let them go first!"
"I mentioned it, I mentioned it several times. But she must wait for you, and she won't leave no matter what. Your daughter misses you very much. She got a certificate at the end of the semester and waited every day. She said she would wait for Dad to come home and give Dad look."
There was no answer on the phone for a long time, followed by a low sobbing sound.
At this moment, listening to Xu Tingsheng's description, Chen Jianxing, who had been thinking of dying for a long time, suddenly wanted to live.
"I..." Chen Jianxing paused and said, "That's great. It's a pity that I..."
Xu Tingsheng knew what Chen Jianxing meant, but he couldn't comfort him. For now, because Chen Jianxing was involved in a political incident of this scale, as a sensitive person, it would be extremely difficult for Chen Jianxing to leave the country with his wife and daughter.
"Let's ensure safety first, and let you reunite. We can't go out for the time being, and we will find a way later..." Xu Tingsheng said, "If you don't have your phone, don't leave it, wait for my arrangement."
Chen Jianxing hesitated for a while and said, "Okay."
Xu Tingsheng finally said in a deep voice, "Trust me, Brother Chen."
The phone hangs up.
…
It is not easy to "receive" Chen Jianxing successfully.
Whether it was for the final purpose of killing the key witnesses, seeking a reversal, or pure hatred and revenge, there were more than one group of people secretly preparing to prevent Chen Jianxing from leaving safely and living.
They may be the relatives, friends and allies of those officials who were pulled down by Chen Jianxing and imprisoned, and are "struggling desperately", or their black and white interests; they may also be Ling and Xiao; they may even stand A power struggle at a higher level is something that Xu Tingsheng can't predict.
The place to do it will not be in the airport, so "pick up" itself is not the key point, the key point is that Xu Tingsheng must ensure that Chen Jianxing will not be followed. He wanted Chen Jianxing to disappear without a trace.
Xu Tingsheng knew that someone must be watching him.
He brought two people and drove two cars. The two cars will appear outside the airport exit at the same time for a while, and then "pick people up" and leave.
But none of them will really take Chen Jianxing away.
In the parking lot, there were two other cars with out-of-province license plates parked last night.
These two cars will appear at the airport exit mixed with the traffic after the first two cars leave, and then "pick people up" and leave. Xu Tingsheng, Zhong Wusheng, and Du Jiang will appear in these two cars respectively...
However, there will still be no Chen Jianxing on these two cars.
The one who will really take Chen Jianxing away is Wang Xiao, the least visible among the three tigers of the Xu family. He will lead Chen Jianxing around the airport to stun the people who are watching him, and then find a place to hide in the airport and change his clothes.
After the first four cars took away the first wave of stalkers and the second wave of reserve personnel who were not easily dispatched, they would follow the next wave of people... and appear at the taxi pick-up point.
There they would board one of the more modest Westlake City taxis.
This is a contest that is secret, but in fact both sides are well aware of it.
False and real, even if the first two cars have clear goals, knowing that they are unlikely to actually pick up people, even if they are not sure about Chen Jianxing's whereabouts, the other party has to follow.
It is the last two cars that can really take away most of the opponent's attention, because they will be discovered "with great difficulty", and then they will inevitably be focused on.
Once smart people prove their smartness and find the feeling of "it's true, but unfortunately I discovered it...", the adrenaline will rise, and they will enter a time period when their defenses are the weakest and their thinking loopholes are the greatest.
Then, what surprised the other party most, Chen Jianxing and Wang Xiao would leave by taxi within this time period.
Xu Tingsheng finally confirmed the personnel arrangement and process, and the time to cooperate...
After dialing the phone and confirming that it was Chen Jianxing's voice, Xu Tingsheng said, "The next flight will come out in about ten minutes. You go back and squeeze in... Then someone will give you a Nokia 1100. You go with him. I will contact you."
Chen Jianxing said, "Okay."
A group of vehicles left the parking lot and another group came in. The two cars of Xu Tingsheng and the others changed places and people.
A plane landed, and soon, passengers with luggage poured out densely.
Chen Jianxing left suddenly and merged into the flow of people in reverse.
Wang Xiao, one of the passengers on the plane, stuffed a Nokia 1100 into Chen Jianxing's hand.
The two quickly disappeared in the chaotic flow of people.
"Look, or not?" The follower lost his target and asked for instructions.
The people above hesitated for a moment, instead of looking for a needle in a haystack and playing hide-and-seek... "Keep an eye on every exit."
Order issued.
The first and second cars went into action, received people, and took away the first batch of about seven cars.
When Chen Jianxing changed clothes, he said the first sentence to Wang Xiao who met him for the first time: "Thank you."
Wang Xiao said, "You're welcome. We're just doing things according to the young master's orders."
Chen Jianxing hesitated for a moment and said, "You are from the Xu family, have you met my wife and daughter?"
Wang Xiao nodded and said, "Your daughter is very cute. I also have a daughter, who is a few years older than yours, and her mother. I send money to them regularly, but I don't see them very often."
"Why?"
"I have committed a lot of things before, I have been in prison, and I have enemies. I am afraid of implicating them. Moreover, we in this business, whether we consider ourselves or our boss, are most afraid of being caught, such as the fatal weakness of family members. "Wang Xiao forced a smile and said: "It's for them. At least they are living a prosperous, peaceful and normal life now... My daughter has good grades."
There was a hint of warmth and pride in Wang Xiao's eyes.
Xu Tingsheng will never know what Wang Xiao said, why he said it, and who made him say it. Because the person who did this had no malice towards him, let alone want him to know.
Chen Jianxing's complexion changed, his most fragile nerve was affected.
"My wife and daughter, are they... Are they in Libei now?" Chen Jianxing asked nervously.
Wang Xiao shook his head, "At the beginning. Then..."
Chen Jianxing immediately asked, "What happened afterwards?"
"You should know that there are a lot of people who want you to shut up." Wang Xiao looked at him and said, "If you can't move you before, it is the best way to threaten you by controlling them. So, after several times After that, Libei is also not safe... The Xu family is not what others think it is."
Chen Jianxing's entire expression froze.
"Don't worry, they are safe now, and they can leave at any time. They are..." Wang Xiao stopped, looked around, and then said, "Let's not talk about it here, anyway, you will see it later."
Chen Jianxing nodded slowly, but did not speak.
The second batch of two cars. Zhong Wusheng has one, Xu Tingsheng and Du Jiang have one...
Everything works as expected.
Zhong Wusheng took a group of people away.
Xu Tingsheng and Du Jiang were driving on the airport expressway, with a lot of cars behind them.
Xu Tingsheng was in a good mood.
The phone comes in.
"Are you in the car?" Xu Tingsheng asked Wang Xiao.
"I got separated from Chen Jianxing." Wang Xiao said.
"..." Xu Tingsheng froze for a moment, and said in the next moment, "Look... look for... forget it, you don't need to look for it."
Xu Tingsheng saw Chen Jianxing. Looking down from the airport elevated, Chen Jianxing was walking on the road not far below. Cars came and went, he walked on the road at a leisurely pace... very conspicuous.
Du Jiang, who was driving beside him, also saw it. He turned his head and glanced at Xu Tingsheng, hesitated to speak, and immediately turned back, returning to indifference and calm.
Xu Tingsheng quickly dialed the mobile phone number he had just asked Wang Xiao to give to Chen Jianxing.
The phone connects.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing?" Xu Tingsheng was a little angry.
"I... Tingsheng, thank you, I'm sorry. I decided not to go with you." Chen Jianxing said.
"What nonsense, I put so much effort into it, what do you mean?" Xu Tingsheng cursed.
"Don't worry, just listen to me."
Chen Jianxing was still walking on the road at a leisurely pace. He stopped and asked a passer-by for a cigarette, then continued walking, continuing to say:
"Actually, from the time I received the notice to return to Yanzhou yesterday, until the plane landed today, I felt that I would definitely die. I knew this very well... In fact, I am not afraid of death. The people above are playing games, and I am a Gun, luckily, someone happens to be willing to use it, and it can be regarded as helping me to fulfill my wish.
When I was in Yanjing, I met several officials who were arrested in Yanzhou and identified them face to face. Among them is that person. They were trembling and crying, their faces were covered with tears and snot, their big bellies were soaked in sweat, and their shirts were all yellow... I'm used to seeing them behave politely and domineeringly on stage, you can't imagine their ugly appearance. I look up to them...
I laughed till I cried in front of them. I secretly told him, hahahaha, I finally fucking killed you guys, didn’t you think so
Ting Sheng, to be honest, I am already very satisfied.
Now that the person who uses me has the upper hand in the situation, he may want to throw me out to appease the other party's anger and give an explanation, or he may have other intentions... I can't speculate on this, just think about it. In short, in fact, I have no use. "
Xu Tingsheng said: "I'm not discussing with you now whether you are still useful. What I'm telling you is that your wife and daughter are waiting for you."
Chen Jianxing said: "I know. Actually, thirty minutes ago, when you told me that they were waiting for me, I really wanted to live again. I wanted to see them, and then, as you said, wait until that day and start over .I trust you."
"and you… "
"I can't turn back. It's too late, it's too late. First, it's too difficult for me to live. You know this. Too many people need my death to be an end. You must protect me, it will only make you worse Passive. Second, really today I will go back with you and reunite with them... Maybe they will never be able to live a peaceful and normal life. It is better to use my death to explain the hatred and anger of those people. Plus you I believe those people will be willing to give up their arrangements and protection, so that they can live a good life after they get there."
"Bullshit, these things, have you asked the two of them? Are they willing?"
"They are willing, but I am not." Chen Jianxing smiled awkwardly and said, "Tingsheng, you are still young and have never experienced marriage or family, so you don't understand. There are some things that you can't get through. If you ask me now, let me Re-election, would I be willing to pay such a high price to kill those bastards? I will tell you, I will still go. If I don’t go, I will have to commit suicide. I am a man!"
Xu Tingsheng was speechless.
Chen Jianxing continued: "Maybe when I go back with you today, the moment we meet, the three of us will hold each other and cry, express our feelings to each other, and feel that there is nothing in the world that cannot be forgiven. But in the future, there are still decades of uneasiness waiting for us. The most normal The days of today are actually the scariest. No matter what we think at this moment, the future will return to reality.
The reality is that in those long days, those things she did are still in my heart and I can't forget them. I would torture her without knowing it. Even if I just occasionally give a cold face, she will be overly sensitive. And what I did to them cruelly will not be forgotten. Both she and I have to live carefully every day, because if we are not careful, we will hurt each other. And my daughter, she's going to grow up and feel that vibe and remember when she hugged my leg and cried and I had to go. Maybe one day we'll fear each other and hate each other...
This home is completely ruined and there is no going back, no matter whose fault it is, no matter how hard we try. Days like that... actually have no future. "
"So you escaped?"
"Well. Anyway, add it all up and I've decided to come here. That way they can live their lives, she's young, and their daughter is lovely and smart. They'll have a future. That way, they might be sad for a while, but In the future, they won't have to face the past because of me. I think they will remember more about me, and the good days they had before, and they will forgive and relax. How good it is... "
"You... can you think about it again. I'll think of a way..." Xu Tingsheng said.
"No."
Chen Jianxing changed his mood and said:
"By the way, Ting Sheng, I just realized that my death actually has two sides. Those people must think that my death is beneficial to them and relieves their hatred, but in fact... I am alive, and I can't provide any new evidence. .And if my death is used well, it may conversely crucify those people.
Politics has always been a fight between gods and ghosts. The people above consider the overall situation in everything. When they weigh something and feel that it is more cost-effective to give up, they will not have any reluctance or hesitation, let alone stubborn resistance.
do you understand me? From the first time we met, you are a person who knows how to use public opinion... just don't put yourself out there. "
Xu Tingsheng still can't adapt to facing a person's life and death decision at such close range, especially at this moment, Chen Jianxing has deep affection for his family, and has calm and even extremely cold thinking, as if what he is discussing is not his own life or death at all.
This is a man who is too stubborn, when the vice president said to him in the car: The day before the wedding, your wife was still in my bed... for you. He might as well die.
Shaking his head, he looked back at Chen Jianxing along the road.
A van with unclear license plates approached him from behind at an unusual speed.
"Brother Chen, run." Xu Tingsheng shouted.
Chen Jianxing didn't look back, smiled, and said loudly: "Tingsheng, tell her for me to let her take her daughter to live a good life, and then find a good person. Tell her, she is a good woman. Tell her, if life I can do it all over again, I will still go to that place, waiting to meet her... But I will no longer play tricks on my self-esteem, and I will not drag her down to break up because I feel that I am not worthy of her... I will be cheeky and beg her to tell me Go to my small remote county town. We live a normal life and support each other until we grow old. I understand, two acres of thin land can also have black hair and white hair... "
The van made a sharp right turn and onto the sidewalk...
…
On the way back to Yanzhou, Xu Tingsheng heard the car radio broadcast:
A car accident occurred near Airport Avenue in Xihu City. A van hit and ran away. A passerby was crushed again after being hit and died on the spot... At present, the traffic police department is trying its best to hunt down the vehicle that caused the accident.
