The two were silent for a long time, but Ouyang Zhenjun opened his mouth first, "I shouldn't have brought you in this matter." ”

Xiao Tian calmly looked at the old man sitting across from him, his face was much less majestic and calm than usual, and more sad and helpless.

"What do you want me to do?"

From the time Xiao Tian came in until now, Ouyang Zhenjun hadn't made much eye contact with him. It was only at this moment that he looked at Xiao Tian with some surprise. He didn't expect Xiao Tian to ask so directly.

"You're so willing to carry this black cauldron so easily, it's not like you I know. ”

Xiao Tian smiled as if he was a little self-deprecating: "What kind of me do you know?"

"At least figure out why you are carrying this black cauldron, at least not easily. ”

Xiao Tian nodded: "Then are you willing to tell me, why do I have to carry this black cauldron?"

Ouyang Zhenjun lowered his head and didn't speak.

Xiao Tian smiled: "Do you feel guilty or regretful?" After pausing for a while, Xiao Tian continued: "I believe that Qingqing told me that you used to be a good official who was honest and served the people. But after a long time, you still change! One wrong step, one wrong step! No matter who you are, you always have to pay the price for making mistakes. ”

Ouyang Zhenjun looked at Xiao Tian again.

Xiao Tian's face was still calm: "One thing you said is right, I won't carry this black cauldron so easily, I have three conditions." ”

Ouyang Zhenjun nodded slightly, as if to say, this is normal.

"What conditions? ”

Xiao Tian stared at Ouyang Zhenjun and said the first condition: "I don't care what method you use, this matter can't affect Yun Tian and anyone around me." The few people who are really responsible for this matter, you can arrest, but that's all. ”

Ouyang Zhenjun refused without hesitation: "Impossible, Yuntian is the developer of Huining Community, since you," after a pause, he continued: "Since this matter is related to you, how can Yuntian not be affected? Who would believe it?"

"You will believe it, I will believe it, Qingqing will believe it! If you insist on the 'impossible' words just said, there will be more people who will believe it! Until someone believes that the person who is really involved in this matter is you, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in charge of the province's economy and urban construction of the province. ”

Xiao Tian's tone was still calm, and even his gaze was calm.

But for people like Ouyang Zhenjun who have seen all kinds of characters and scenes, the most terrifying thing is not thunder, not excited speeches, not weeping, not even intimidation, but precisely this terrible calm.

"Actually, I didn't want to do anything to you. You are the chairman of Yuntian, not the CEO, and you can completely say that you are not clear about the specific implementation of this project. ”

Xiao Tian sneered.

"You mean to let me learn from you, and find a scapegoat to stand in front of me, don't you? I'm afraid you've already chosen for me who will be the scapegoat? But do you think I'll be as shameless as you are?"

There was a faint flash of anger on Ouyang Zhenjun's face, but he didn't have a seizure.

"Good. I promise you, try not to let Yuntian be affected too much because of this matter. ”

Xiao Tian slightly increased his tone, and his speed of speech slowed down a little: "Secretary Ouyang, what I said is that it will not be affected in any way, not that it will not be affected too much. Especially, I don't allow you to touch a single strand of Mingtao's hair!"

Ouyang Zhenjun's brows furrowed: "Your condition is very unrealistic. ”

It was only at this moment that Xiao Tian's eyes showed a hint of sharpness, "Is it realistic to let me carry this black cauldron?" You should know what I am carrying this black cauldron for. ”

Ouyang Zhenjun's eyes were also sharp: "What if, I don't agree?"

Xiao Tian stared at Ouyang Zhenjun and was silent for a long time before he said slowly:

"Do you still remember Chen Hai nine years ago? Do you remember Duan Shaoming and Yuan Ju four years ago? I can let Chen Hai be ruined overnight, I can let Duan Shaoming and Yuan Ju kill each other. Now, if someone has to force me to make a move, I don't care about having another fight with another deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the municipal party committee. ”

Ouyang Zhenjun sat upright in the Taishi chair, with his two hands on the armrests. Hearing Xiao Tian's words, his eyes narrowly dimmed almost imperceptibly.

Nine years ago, Chen Hai's paradise on earth was destroyed overnight, and after that, the city's officialdom was shaken a lot because of it. Four years ago, Duan Shaoming, chairman of the provincial CPPCC, died violently, and the acting director of the municipal public security bureau was sentenced to death for duty-related crimes and intentional homicide. Both of these events have caused strong repercussions in Qiaodong, but not many people know the inside story of this.

Ouyang Zhenjun knew that behind these two things, there was Xiao Tian's shadow. The commander of the provincial military district, Zhan Guoxiong, even took special forces and personally entered the interrogation room where Xiao Tian was being held.

Afterwards, he investigated through various channels and learned that Xiao Tian did have some relationship with a powerful family, but he believed that this relationship would not make the dignified deputy secretary of the provincial party committee have too much jealousy of him. Therefore, he dared to use Yuntian as a scapegoat for this accident.

However, Xiao Tian in front of him dared to say that he wanted to fight with him as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, this kind of courage is by no means something ordinary people can have. Moreover, he said it so confidently.

Based on Ouyang Zhenjun's experience, he didn't think that Xiao Tian's confidence was pretended. For a moment, he was a little unsure of his own judgment.

His right hand shook the armrest of the Taishi chair slightly hard: "You threaten me?"

Xiao Tian smiled indifferently: "I never threaten people. I only do what I think I have to do. ”

Ouyang Zhenjun stared at Xiao Tian for a long time, and then nodded slightly: "Okay, I can let this matter not implicate Yun Tian and the people around you." ”

"The second condition: I will not deny all the accusations, but I will never admit it voluntarily. Find the charges and evidence yourself, and don't expect me to cooperate with you in this disgusting game. Keeping silent about this matter is already my biggest concession. ”

Ouyang Zhenjun didn't think much about this condition, and agreed very happily: "Okay!"

"One last condition: when this term expires, you will take your own free time. If I sacrifice myself just to let a person who is not worthy of sitting in an official position continue to enter the house, then I don't want to say I'm sorry Qingqing, even myself, I'm sorry. ”

Secretary Ouyang closed his eyes, he was thinking and weighing. After a long time, he nodded: "I promise you." ”

Ouyang Zhenjun agreed to the three conditions, and Xiao Tian suddenly laughed: "I'm curious, how much can make a dignified deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the municipal party committee of the provincial capital city throw away his dignity like this!"

Ouyang Zhenjun lowered his head and did not respond to Xiao Tian's words.

Xiao Tian got up from his chair and said a word to Ouyang Zhenjun before turning to leave.

"Don't think that if you arrest me, everything will be fine. If you don't obey any of the three, I'll break my silence! Even if I'm in prison, I'll be ready to make a big wave that scares you if I want to. ”

After speaking, Xiao Tian left quickly.

While Xiao Tian was negotiating with Ouyang Zhenjun, Qiu Yan was sitting in the hall of his villa.

He had been waiting for Xiao Tian's call. But a whole day passed, and Xiao Tian never called him. He was sure that Xiao Tian would definitely look for him, so after dealing with the company, he didn't go anywhere, just waited for Xiao Tian in his villa.

Qiu Yan felt a little strange, why was his villa not being monitored, didn't those who wanted to arrest Xiao Tian know Xiao Tian's relationship with him?

"Waiting for me?"

As soon as Qiu Yan turned around, he saw Xiao Tian standing less than two meters behind him, looking at him with a smile.

Qiu Yan was angry when he saw it: "It's a big night, can't you say hello first when you come to the door?

When Xiao Tian heard Qiu Yan say this, he actually laughed even more happily.

"Your house is the same as mine, I come to my own house, do you want to say hello? What time is it? If you don't laugh, do I still cry? When I cry, will you comfort me?"

Qiu Yan shook his head in frustration: "How can I have a bad friend like you?"

Xiao Tian walked over and hugged Qiu Yan's shoulder: "Friends are friends! In short, whether you are a close friend or a friend in this life, my Xiao Tian and you Qiu Yan are just wasted!"

Qiu Yan waved his hand and pulled Xiao Tian's wolf claws off his shoulder: "If you have something to say, don't move your hands and feet." Say, how do you want to break the game?"

Xiao Tiancai didn't care about Qiu Yan's disgust, the wolf claws were lifted, and soon climbed on Qiu Yan's shoulders again: "I don't want to break the game." ”

Qiu Yan didn't wave Xiao Tian's claws again this time. He looked at Xiao Tian with some confusion, "You don't want to break the game, what do you mean?"

Xiao Tian didn't smile anymore, put his arm around Qiu Yan's shoulder, and the two sat down on the sofa together.

After sitting down, Xiao Tian leaned forward slightly, his hands and elbows resting on his thighs, as if thinking about how to tell Qiu Yan about his decision.

"Qiu Yan, I won't break this game, I will keep silent about this matter. ”

Qiu Yan's heart sank slightly: "What happened! Why did you do this?"

Xiao Tian sat up straighter, "Two years ago, Qingqing was diagnosed with terminal cancer. ”

Calm as Qiu Yan, he was actually stunned, "How can this be? she is still so young!" But it didn't take long for him to get out of the shock, "So, are you going to repay Ouyang Qing's love with silence?"

Xiao Tian's waist bent down again, and his elbows rested on his thighs again.

"That's all I can do for her now. I couldn't let her suffer from cancer cells in her hospital bed, and I had to choose between my father and me. So, let me make this choice.

Moreover, Caiyue has been away for a whole year. Over the course of the year, I've thought about it a lot. Although I don't want to admit it, in Caiyue's mind, you and I are indeed irreplaceable people. And I really can't give her the happiness she needs. You're the man who can really make her happy!"
