Chapter 4O7: The Fig Leaf
After a pause, Zheng Zheng said again: "Lao Zhang wanted to push you to the top at that time, but I killed you single-handedly, because Lao Zhang is good, because you can't succeed in the position, you hate me, and you are behind my back, which is also understandable." But your revenge is your revenge, don't talk about Lao Zhang. Even if you ask me 10,000 times, even if it happens 10,000 times, I will do the same thing, answer the same way - I don't feel the slightest bit guilty. β
Looking at Bai Peng, who was uncertain, Zheng Zheng chuckled and said: "Bai Peng, if you want to take revenge, just take revenge, if you want to take the position, go directly to the position, don't use Lao Zhang's affairs as a fig leaf for yourself." Things have come to this point, have I asked you if you feel guilty? I won't ask you if you feel guilty, but if you want to be in a position, you have to admit it, and don't ask me if I feel guilty. β
In Zheng Zheng's opinion, Bai Peng does have sufficient reasons to hate himself, and he also has reasons to do it to himself. However, if it is said that he did it to himself in order to seek justice for Lao Zhang's matter and ask for an explanation, then I am afraid it is worth discussing.
Let's not talk about whether there is any fairness worth discussing about Lao Zhang's matter, just talk about what Bai Peng did. If Bai Peng really wanted to take revenge on Zheng Zheng, it was really just to take a breath in Lao Zhang's matter, then when would he not be able to do it? There was a Wang Kang in the black market who would not cooperate with him and was quite ambitious. If Bai Peng finds a suitable time to make trouble and does not give Zheng Zheng a chance to unite with Wang Kang, he can completely pull a vote from the black market and set up his own door. And Wang Kang sees this opportunity, and it is very likely that he will pull away a vote of people to stand on their own. At that time, Zheng Zheng will be equivalent to a bare-bones commander, so it is not the same as revenge?
Even if Wang Kang did not stand on his own, Zheng Zheng's black market would inevitably be greatly damaged by his vitality. After that, Bai Pengda and Zheng Zheng can sing against each other, and they will be divided into swords and guns.
But he didn't do this, but found Zhong Fei as a backer, and slowly operated while Zheng Zheng was not in China, and when Zheng Zheng returned to China and Zhong Fei could do it, he suddenly exerted his strength, wanting to defeat Zheng Zheng in one fell swoop.
He swallowed his anger for so long, just to take revenge? He would rather not open the black market than wait for such an opportunity, just to give Lao Zhang this breath?
Joke.
To put it bluntly, this is just for one's own selfish desires. Although he kept asking Zheng Zheng if he felt guilty, in Zheng Zheng's opinion, this was just a legitimate excuse for what he had done and put a fig leaf around it.
Zheng Zheng's words pierced Bai Peng's thoughts, but he was not prepared to let Bai Peng go, chuckled, and said, "You should have been thinking about this for a while......, right?" Is it the news that you passed through?"
Bai Peng's face stiffened when he heard this, and he didn't speak.
Looking at Bai Peng's expression, Zheng Zheng understood in his heart, shook his head, and sighed: "I've been thinking about it since that incident is over, what's going on? Why was it cut off? My news is quite tightly controlled, how could the people of Trois-RiviΓ¨res know so quickly? Judging from the speed of their opening, it should have opened immediately after knowing about my treasure hunt, and they didn't wait at all...... If there is no inner ghost in this matter, it is really evil. β
"But at that time, I couldn't be sure who the inner ghost was, so I had to put this matter aside for the time being. I didn't mention it, but I kept it in my heart......"
Speaking of this, Zheng Zheng turned to Zhong Fei and asked with a smile: "At that time, Brother Zhong should have been in contact with Bai Peng, right? That Zhou Qi was really wronged, and he was used as a test stone." β
Zhong Fei smiled and didn't speak.
Even if Zhong Fei didn't say it, Bai Peng didn't say it, but judging from all the things before and after, Zheng Zheng was already able to see ninety percent of the things that mattered to him: he took away the black market that originally belonged to Zhong Fei's apprentice, and Zhong Fei naturally had to take back this face for his apprentice;
Zhong Fei, who knew that the fortress was disintegrated from within, naturally wanted to contact a person with a certain amount of energy in the newly established Zhengzi black market. Wang Kang is not a good choice, he betrayed Bai Peng, and his credibility is not high enough, so in front of Zhong Fei is only Bai Peng, who has just been removed by Zheng Zheng as his right-hand man and merged with the black market. Once the two sides came into contact, they naturally hit it off and reached an alliance.
Later, Zheng Zheng planned a treasure hunt, and this matter naturally could not escape Bai Peng's attention. Bai Peng told Zhong Fei about this, and Zhong Fei told Zhou Qi, a tomb robber who was about to do it in Sanhe City.
After that, Wang Di and others received the news and notified Zheng Zheng, and Zheng Zheng rushed to Sanhe City. Bai Peng, who handled a fake ID card for Zheng Zheng, told Zhong Fei about this matter, but Zhong Fei didn't remind Zhou Qi, but just became a spectator on the side, watching Zheng Zheng and the test stone he prepared for Zheng Zheng, what kind of victory or defeat would be.
It can be said that Zheng Zheng's calculations and various means in that incident were all seen by Zhong Fei at all. After a period of time, Zhong Fei could make a whole set of plans for Zheng Zheng's way of doing things, and when he felt that he had learned enough about Zheng Zheng, he proposed to share the matter with Zheng Zheng.
It's just that the timing is not good, Zheng Zheng had an accident when he was in the Zheng family, and he had to go abroad. If Zhong Fei joined Bai Peng at this time, Zheng Zheng would not have the slightest chance to resist. It's just that out of Zhong Fei's thoughts-maybe he wants to make Zheng Zheng's defeat even more powerless, and wants Zheng Zheng to see the mansion betray his relatives with his own eyes-so Zhong Fei nodded and agreed to Zheng Zheng, agreeing not to attack Zheng Zheng's foundation before Zheng Zheng returns to China.
But how can this kind of God-given opportunity be so simply let go?
So before Zheng Zheng returned to China after going abroad, Bai Peng had already begun to integrate the black market with the help of Zhong Fei's name. With Zhong Fei standing behind Bai Peng, Wang Kang had no other choice but to cooperate with Bai Peng.
And when Bai Peng controlled the black market, Liu Yuanshu and his party caught up with Wang Kang's line again. Wang Kang, who knew the news from them that Zheng Zheng had returned to China, told Bai Peng and Zhong Fei the news.
Zhong Fei would not do it before he got a definite result, so Wang Kang sent the plan of "closing the store and forcing people" at this time, and Bai Peng found someone in the official face to "notify" Gu Xuan, forcing Zheng Zheng to show up.
And after Zheng Zheng appeared, this matter can be said to be basically a sure thing. Next, just find Zheng Zheng, have a good "chat" with him, make him aware of his current situation, and let him voluntarily or involuntarily hand over the position of the black market leader.
Zheng Zheng naturally didn't know about these details, but he knew what things were like in general, and that was enough.
And Zheng Zheng didn't wait for them to find him and stood up first, definitely not for the sake of a momentary tongue. He saw a glimmer of life in this desperate situation that seemed to be a place of death, and although he was not completely sure, Zheng Zheng was still willing to take a gamble.
If he wins the bet, Zheng Zheng will be able to solve these bad things today; if he loses the bet, Zheng Zheng will have to leave the market miserably and continue to operate in another place. But if you don't even have the courage to gamble, Zheng Zheng is just a quiet ending, compared to losing the bet, it is just a little more secure for personal safety.
Zheng Zheng is really not an adventurous person, and he does not like to gamble. For his part, he prefers to take everything into his hands and then do it slowly, step by step, without any surprises.
However, when there was no other choice but to gamble, Zheng Zheng did not lack the courage to let go of the gamble.
"You know this now, it's a little late, right?" Bai Peng looked at Zheng Zheng and said coldly: "You know this now, what's the use?"
Zheng Zheng spread his hands with an indifferent face, and said: "It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, the important thing is that it solves a mystery in my heart, and this is very important." Okay, that's all that has been said and there's nothing more to say, so ...... then"
Zheng Zheng looked at Zhong Fei and said, "Next, it's time for us to talk about business, right?"
Zhong Fei looked at Zheng Zheng with some surprise and asked, "Do you think there is anything else to talk about?"
Zheng Zheng took a cigarette in his mouth, borrowed a fire from Wang Kang not far away, took a puff of the cigarette and said, "Hmm...... I think there's a lot to talk about. β
Zhong Fei shook his head amusedly, and said, "You don't have any capital to talk about conditions now, do you?" Zheng Zheng...... It's almost, and now the scene isn't particularly ugly, and I'm saving face for you. β
Zheng Zheng also shook his head and smiled, but did not speak, but took out a small folding knife from his pocket.
Seeing him take out such a small folding knife, Bai Peng's face changed, and he didn't know what Zheng Zheng was going to do. Although this small folding knife does not seem to be lethal, if it really stabs a person and stabs it in the right place, it is not a difficult thing to take a person's life.
Seeing this, Zheng Zheng smiled kindly at Bai Pengting, and then picked up the apples in the fruit bowl on the table, and began to peel the apples little by little.
While peeling the apple, Zheng Zheng said: "There are a lot of things that you know, and I also know a rough idea. Now, I'm going to tell you something you don't know. β
After speaking, Zheng Zheng also looked up at everyone, and seeing that everyone had no intention of objecting, Zheng Zheng continued to lower his head and peel the apple, and said lightly: "The reason why I am in a hurry to go abroad is because something happened in China during the Chinese New Year, and I have to go abroad to find someone to help solve it...... Do you know why?"
