Chapter 178: An Irresistible Temptation
"Well, how?"
"You know what I'm looking for you......"
Zhang Ruiming sneered and said lightly: "I guessed that you would definitely come to me, but I thought you would come to me in person, but I didn't expect you to just make a phone call, it seems that my importance in your heart is still not enough." ”
"How can there be~ Senior brother, if you are willing to see me, I will rush over and meet you immediately. ”
"No, I don't appreciate it. Zhang Ruiming immediately remembered that back then, in the "drug runway" case of the fourth middle school, he was also invited by this beautiful and ruthless junior sister to meet Chen Zhijun, but he was framed and almost lost his job.
"Senior brother, I just hope to communicate with your prosecutor again, and we hope to ...... about your arrest of my client. ”
Zhang Ruiming hurriedly interrupted her, and at the same time turned on the recording button of the mobile phone, and said: "I don't know where you got this news from, but I sincerely admire you, I thought that you would talk to me after Wang Yingying was arrested, or at least after the police announced the arrest warrant, but I didn't expect that you were so well-informed, where did you get the news?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Liao Cai's chuckle came: "Senior brother, didn't you reveal the news to me yesterday that you were going to arrest my client today?
Damn! I can't get this woman at all!
Zhang Ruiming gave up the idea of talking to Liao Cai, anyway, these are all trivial battles, and it is not interesting to tug of war with her on these small things, he is ready to hang up the phone.
"It's nothing, I'll hang up. ”
"Wait a minute, senior brother, if your prosecutor is sincere, I am willing to persuade my client to turn himself in, as long as you promise a few points: first, do not disclose the news to the media, affect the IPO of Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical, and secondly, immediately go through the bail process, do not hinder it, and let my client go home on the same day." ”
These words aroused Zhang Ruiming's interest, and Wang Yingying's mentality was seen from Liao Cai's conditions, he was really unwilling to give up everything he had now, since there was an opportunity, then take the opportunity to lower the price first and break through the other party's bottom line of negotiation.
He deliberately was silent for a while, and asked in an aggressive tone: "Heh, do you think that our judicial organs are buying vegetables in the vegetable market!? I can bargain with you here!? Convey a word to Wang Yingying for me, the law enforcement power given to us by the people is not for you to buy and sell wantonly!"
After saying that, he swiped and hung up the phone.
Zhang Ruiming hung up the phone, but he was not in a hurry to go back to the classroom, he stood in the corridor, looking at the statue of the great man in the party school square downstairs, the great man raised his right hand, held a few books in his left hand, and looked solemn, leading the times.
What was he waiting for.
After a minute, sure enough, Liao Cai called again.
"Okay, let's add a little more condition, our client is willing to surrender and confess, and fulfill the cost of repairing the water quality of the Jingsha River in advance, without delay, but your prosecutor can't prosecute him as the main culprit, and we will also strive for a closed trial on the grounds that it involves trade secrets, but I hope your prosecutor won't get in the way......"
Liao Cai saw that Zhang Ruiming did not answer, and continued: "...... How, you have won the case, the water quality has been restored, and our client has been punished by him, so that this case is a perfect ending, what are you not satisfied with?"
Zhang Ruiming held the phone and was silent for a moment, "It's not enough, the people have not been educated as they should be, I want Wang Yingying to publicly apologize to all the citizens, and let tens of millions of people in Tianjin and Hong Kong know that the damage to the public welfare will be punished fairly." ”
As soon as Liao Cai heard this, he immediately replied: "This is absolutely not good! You know that Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical is now in the most sensitive period of IPO, after all, Wang Yingying was also your Zhang family's personal friend, you know that if Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical fails this IPO, he will have no place to turn over, why do you want to do this!?"
"This case has now become a big uproar, and the common people are not at ease to drink tap water every day, you tell me, if we come to a "closed trial" now, the people will agree? When something happens, who do you think can afford it? Moreover, there must be someone who stands up and takes responsibility for this matter, and if he does not stand up for the hero, who will stand up?"
Zhang Ruiming's voice was sincere and sincere, it is true that the case has reached the point of no return, and now it is impossible to cover this lid and block the mouths of tens of millions of people.
"Zhang Ruiming, let me remind you, what you want to kill now is your father's best friend, the elders who have cared for you since childhood, can't you miss a little old love!?"
"Then let me ask you, even if I really agreed to your conditions in full for the sake of the old relationship, and even persuaded us to agree to the prosecution, but when it really comes to the day when I am held accountable by the above and the people poke my backbone, what should I do?
Hearing the resoluteness in Zhang Ruiming's words, Liao Cai, who had retreated to the bottom line, had no way back, she could only fight hard, since it was not possible to come soft, then come to the hard one.
Liao Cai asked coldly, "You mean there is no room for maneuver?"
Zhang Ruiming thought for a moment and replied in an extremely serious tone: "I can't back down on the two points of public trial and public apology." ”
Silence, the silence before the storm, like a dull summer afternoon, you can feel the sticky glue in the air in your nose, which makes people oppressively breathless.
Zhang Ruiming felt a hint of coolness.
The rain was falling.
"Zhang Jian, since you are determined to go to war, I hope you remember to bring one more thing. ”
"What......?"
After a snort, Liao Cai's voice wrapped around Zhang Ruiming's neck and the back of his head like a poisonous snake.
"Keep a coffin for yourself. ”
After this sentence, there is a half-ring of silence.
Zhang Ruiming hadn't been directly threatened like this for a long time, and it was still from the mouth of his former junior sister, the anger was only for a moment, and it made him sigh more.
"Heh, are you threatening me now? It's okay, what you say and do today, I will submit it to the Bureau of Justice and the Bar Association. ”
"Haha, I'm so scared, that's really scary......" Liao Cai's laughter came from the other end of the phone, and Zhang Ruiming's heart was numb when he listened.
The cold and beautiful man smiled, restrained his smile, and then sighed again, and said in a faint whisper: "...... Okay, brother, since we can't talk about it, let's see you in court, but please remember, I can be sure that this case will be the biggest crisis you have ever faced in your life...... When you understand, don't blame me when the day comes. ”
"I'll wait......" Zhang Ruiming finished speaking and hung up the phone directly.
…………
After the last class of training in the party school, it was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ruiming was dressed in the afterglow of the sunset, and rushed home, today is the day of his daughter's holiday, usually his father Zhang Qingcang is responsible for picking up Xuanxuan to and from class, he should take his daughter home today. Thinking that he would be able to see his daughter soon, this made Zhang Ruiming feel the taste of spring in his heart.
The front lawn of the villa is in front of him, Zhang Ruiming saw his father Zhang Qingcang's A8 parked at the door, although the two fathers and sons have not seen each other for a long time since the last quarrel, it seems that today it seems that there is a daughter at home, maybe they can get back together.
Zhang Ruiming cleaned up his mood, walked into the hallway, and when he took off his shoes, he found that in addition to his father's leather shoes and Xuanxuan's small shoes on the shoe cabinet, there was another man's shoes, the size of which obviously did not match that of the Zhang family's father and son.
"Who's coming?"
Zhang Ruiming had doubts in his heart, and his nerves involuntarily tensed, but at this time, there was a sound of his daughter's laughter and frolicking in the living room, which made people feel a little reassured.
"Xuanxuan~" Zhang Ruiming shouted his daughter's name as he walked inside.
"Dad~Dad" A cute figure rushed over like a bear at this time, and jumped into Zhang Ruiming's arms with a "bang".
teasing his daughter's little face, seeing the little girl with bright teeth and bright eyes, Zhang Ruiming felt that his heart was about to melt.
"Good daughter, who did you play with just now?" Zhang Ruiming asked as he walked inside while holding his daughter.
"With Grandpa Hero~"
Daughter Xuanxuan smiled innocently, after speaking, she turned around and walked by herself, she ran to the floor of the living room, Wang Yingying was sitting in the middle of a pile of blocks, with toys in front of him to build a small "castle", and Zhang Qingcang was sitting on the sofa, both of them looked at Xuanxuan with a kind smile, the picture is quite warm, Zhang Ruiming simply has an illusion, the Wang Zong, who is worth hundreds of millions in front of him, is still the best friend of the Zhang family, and everything before has not happened, today is just an ordinary weekend.
Seeing Zhang Ruiming arrive, the smile on Wang Yingying's face gradually dimmed.
Zhang Ruiming's face was also gloomy, he didn't know why Wang Yingying, who should have been arrested, appeared in his house, but now he has to take care of his daughter Xuanxuan's feelings, and he can't have a seizure for the time being, he shouted upstairs to Sister Xiaomei, who was cleaning, and asked the nanny to take Xuanxuan to hug, and the adults in the family have something to talk about.
But Xuanxuan is not happy to live or die, Wang Yingying is very good at teasing children, lifting high, riding on the head to ride a cow, flying a plane, and doing a rocker, every time Xuanxuan sees Wang Yingying, she will play crazy, two people, an old and a young, the old is an old naughty boy, and the little one is a little elf. It's hard to separate the two.
"Dad, I don't~ I want to play with the hero grandpa! wow~"
Seeing that his daughter Xuanxuan suddenly cried, Zhang Ruiming was at a loss when he stood still, and it was useless to comfort him.
In the end, Wang Yingying was half-kneeling, patting Xuanxuan's little head with his hand, and comforted: "Xuanxuan baby, grandpa and your father are finished chatting about business, I will play with you immediately, okay, will I take you to the ocean ball playground at night?"
“…… Good. Xuanxuan was willing to obediently go upstairs with Sister Xiaomei, and before leaving, she didn't forget to make a strange face to Zhang Ruiming and said: "Stinky dad, make my mother angry, and don't let grandpa play with me." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruiming could only shake his head bitterly.
When Sister Xiaomei brought Xuanxuan up, there were only three people left in the living room, as if the air conditioner was turned on, and the whole atmosphere instantly became piercing.
"You shouldn't be here. "The first to speak was Zhang Ruiming, he was the owner of this place, and he couldn't understand why a criminal suspect who was about to be arrested, a suspect who had been sent to court by his own hands, dared to appear in his home so openly.
"Then where should I be?" Wang Yingying smiled, his expression still with the joy he had just accompanied Xuanxuan.
Zhang Ruiming twisted his neck, his tone was fierce, and he said in a deep voice: "This is my home......"
Without waiting for Zhang Ruiming to finish speaking, Zhang Qingcang interrupted him first: "Then should I remind you that my name is still written on the real estate certificate of this villa, and I haven't been angry with you yet." You haven't inherited my inheritance yet. ”
"Heh......" Seeing that his father was still on Wang Yingying's side, Zhang Ruiming shook his head helplessly and said, "...... Dad, you used to be a prosecutor, I don't believe you need me to remind you of the constitutive elements of the crime of harboring and abetting. ”
When Zhang Ruiming said this, he took two steps forward, his expression was serious, and he stared straight at his father, as if he had grown up in an instant, and he was no longer the child in Zhang Qingcang's heart, and he explained the position of the prosecutor in his own way.
In the face of his son's strength, Zhang Qingcang snorted, "The crime of harboring and harboring refers to the act of providing a hiding place and property for a person who knows that he is a crime, helping him to escape, or giving false evidence to cover up." "I'm not helping my old friend escape and hide, I'm taking him to you openly, trying to communicate with you and talk about the conditions for surrendering. ”
"Do you think it's interesting to talk about that?...... Besides, it's me and him, I hope dad ...... You don't want to mix it up anymore. Zhang Ruiming tried to change his tone and persuaded his father not to get involved.
"I'm here for him......" Zhang Qingcang wanted to say something, but Wang Yingying patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, Lao Zhang, you rest, I have a good talk with my nephew, it's all a family, why bother." ”
Zhang Qingcang got up annoyed and took out a cigarette from his pocket.
"Okay, I'll go outside and smoke a cigarette, something calls me. With that, he got up and walked out.
At this time, in the living room of Zhang's villa, only two people were left who were facing each other.
Wang Yingying fiddled with the tea set in front of him freely, he first added a cup of tea to himself, brushed a cup, passed the water twice, poured in the emerald green fragrant tea, and pushed the tea in front of Zhang Ruiming, all as if he was at home.
Zhang Ruiming didn't even look at the teacup in front of him, he sat straight on the side seat of his sofa, trying to take back the initiative of the head of the family.
"It's wrong for you to come here. ”
"Oh?"
"You know, I'm not a person who will bend the law for personal gain, from the very beginning, you should clearly understand this, the current situation, it can be said that you caused yourself, you think you ran to my office, relying on the friendship with my family for all these years. Am I going to let you go?......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Ruiming shook his head, as if he was feeling sorry for Wang Yingying.
"You underestimated me, you underestimated the dignity and oath of our prosecutors, and you also underestimated the people of Tianjin and Hong Kong, do you think that no one will know about these hurtful things you have done? ”
When Zhang Ruiming spoke, Wang Yingying didn't say a word, silently tasting the authentic West Lake Biluochun in front of him, and said lightly for a long time: "This pot of tea is the best Longjing last year, only with the fragrance of beans and no astringency of grass." The temperature of the fire is just right, and the temperature does not explode, so it is rare to be so clear and green. I received ten cakes at that time, eight of which were given to some important friends, knowing that your father loves tea, the last two cakes were given to him, and I didn't keep any of them, so I could only occasionally go to your house to rub this authentic Longjing ......"
Wang Yingying put down the teacup and his expression became gloomy: "I know that I am in a catastrophe today, and I may not be able to get out if I go in, but I think that in the end, I can also taste this wonderful cup of tea." ”
Seeing the emotion of what Wang Yingying said, with a hero's end of decadence, Zhang Ruiming felt a little uncomfortable, he sat down and picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
Well, it's really different, although I don't know much about the tea ceremony, but Zhang Ruiming also understands that this bowl of tea soup is yellow and green, the taste is fresh, sweet, pure, and has both a few flavors, it is worthy of the authentic West Lake Longjing, which is an extraordinary product, compared to the ones I usually drink is simply mouthwash.
Seeing that Zhang Ruiming finished taking a sip, the anger in his expression had faded a little, and he was closing his eyebrows. Wang Yingying took the opportunity to say: "It's strange to say, Ruiming, you usually stay at home by yourself for so long, don't you know that you still have this wonderful treasure at home?"
Although Wang Yingying asked strangely, Zhang Ruiming could only say: "I don't usually drink tea, and besides, this is also what you gave to my father, what does it have to do with me." ”
"I know, during this time, you haven't been very comfortable, this ...... I have heard of the discord between you and your wife. I'm thinking, Ruiming, you really don't know how happy you used to be, your father has been sheltering you from the wind and rain, the family is also happy, food and clothing are worry-free, these seemingly ordinary days for you, every day is actually precious, just like this cake of the best authentic West Lake Longjing, it is placed in the locker of your home, you have not paid attention, but it does not mean that it is not there. ”
Seeing that Wang Yingying forcibly connected the two and wanted to brainwash himself, Zhang Ruiming sneered and said: "Heh, Mr. Wang, don't go around, here and there, I am not the young man who was swayed by you at will in the "Yunyun Pavilion" and respected you as an example. I am here to talk to you today as a prosecutor and advise you to turn yourself in as soon as possible and strive for leniency, which is the right way. ”
Zhang Ruiming's tone slowed down a lot when he said this, he really wanted to persuade Wang Yingying to turn back, but how could the rebellious billionaire in front of him be defeated so easily.
"You haven't heard me finish yet, Zhang Ruiming, I'm providing you with an opportunity, I know that your family is now torn apart because of this case, and your father is separated from your wife. I also want to apologize, express my apologies, I was thinking, since you must arrest me, then you can, I will give it up. And once I'm going in, I'll have to leave part of my property in my name to someone close to me for safekeeping and tending, and your father is my best friend......"
