Chapter 103: Matters of the Heart
Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders: "Don't think about it! Eight million!"
When Lin Xiaowen heard this number, a row of dense beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he looked at Pang Jindong in horror and helplessness. He said in a trembling voice, "It's too much, I can't take it out......"
"Don't think I don't know what your transportation bureau does!" After a pause, Pang Jindong continued: "Although eight million is a piece of meat for you, it can be exchanged for happiness in the second half of your life, and I personally think it is worth it!"
Lin Xiaowen shook his head and insisted: "It's too much......
Pang Jindong sneered and said, "You are so greedy, you should also come up with some to do good deeds now!"
Lin Xiaowen thought for a while, and asked nervously, "Can you guarantee that I won't be held accountable?"
"I can guarantee that you won't have a problem with what's in the manual! But if you have other handles that fall elsewhere, I can't help it!"
"That's good!" Lin Xiaowen nodded, and reached into the inner pocket of his jacket, but he didn't take it out immediately, but after a long time, he slowly took out another check, and the number on it happened to be three million.
Seeing this scene, Pang Jindong understood that in fact, Lin Xiaowen had already prepared a reserve price of eight million, but he was just holding a bargaining mentality. I was very lucky to say this number, if it was less, it would let Lin Xiaowen pick it up; if it was too much, Lin Xiaowen would be forced to be in a hurry, and the dog might jump off the wall in a hurry.
Pang Jindong put away the check, took out the black manual, found those related to Lin Xiaowen, tore them all down and burned them. Then in front of him, he deleted the video in the USB flash drive.
There are too many people on the Black Paperbook, and they involve different departments, positions, and levels. So although Pang Jindong has read the entire manual, he can't remember it all. In particular, only some people are annotated with detailed information above, and most of the rest are just unfamiliar names for Pang Jindong.
Therefore, when doing this, Pang Jindong paid attention to it, and then he realized that Lin Xiaowen really had a lot of things, but there was only one video.
Lin Xiaowen asked suspiciously: "That's all!"
"Yes!" Pang Jindong smiled and nodded. How did Lin Xiaowen know that Pang Jindong had already backed up the things on the USB flash drive, which made Pang Jindong not worry about the blank check given by Lin Xiaowen.
Lin Xiaowen was still not at ease: "Is there really no one?"
"If something happens to you because of this, shake me out! After receiving your money, we are a community of interests!"
What Pang Jindong said was very reasonable, Lin Xiaowen thought of this and let out a long breath. At that moment, Pang Jindong found that Lin Xiaowen seemed to be a lot younger.
Looking at Lin Xiaowen's appearance, Pang Jindong was moved by compassion and reassured: "You can rest assured that this money will not all fall into my pocket!"
Lin Xiaowen looked at Pang Jindong and asked tentatively: "What do you mean......?"
"I would donate a large part of it to charity. You've been greedy for so many years, and in the end you can do something good for the society, and you can sleep more steadily at night, aren't you?!"
Lin Xiaowen nodded and said, "I've always been worried that you are a person who doesn't eat oil and salt!"
"I'm not so unyielding!" Pang Jindong took out his own cigarette, handed one to Lin Xiaowen, and then continued: "Even if you are corrected, what will be the result? Who can guarantee that all the money will be confiscated from the state treasury? And who can guarantee that the money will not go into the pocket of the next corrupt official? So it is better to take it out directly and do something for Li Min Cangsheng!"
"That's right!"
"I have a question, how did you know that the Black Leather Manual was in my hand?"
"I have a good personal relationship with Hong Yingfeng, but he doesn't know that I also have a relationship with that real estate developer. Lin Xiaowen took two deep breaths, extinguished the cigarette butt, and then immediately got up and said goodbye.
Pang Jindong looked at Lin Xiaowen's distant back, and felt that it was only at this time that the black leather manual brought benefits to him. Counting the long string of zeros after the check number, Pang Jindong couldn't help laughing. But before the check was hot in his hand, Pang Jindong had to put it down and answer Jin Lingling's call.
Jin Lingling asked, "Do you have time at night?" I'll invite you to dinner!"
Jin Lingling often asked Pang Jindong to go out together, but this time, the tone seemed a little strange.
Pang Jindong looked at his watch and said, "It's night now!"
Jin Lingling said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense!
"Good!"
After setting the time and place, Pang Jindong put down the phone, and a sense of foreboding vaguely rose in his heart. Pang Jindong admits that he has always underestimated Jin Lingling's talent in the past, so now he is not sure if she has done something that affects him and he doesn't know.
When Pang Jindong arrived at the hotel, Jin Lingling was already waiting there. Seeing Pang Jindong, he said coldly: "Please take a seat!"
Pang Jindong sat opposite Jin Lingling, and neither of them spoke. Pang Jindong looked at the flowers placed in the middle of the table, while Jin Lingling lowered her head and fiddled with her mobile phone.
After a while, Pang Jindong was the first to break the silence and asked, "You told Shen Jiayao everything about me?"
Jin Lingling nodded: "Sister Yaoyao cares about you very much!"
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything else about registering Dongyao Company to buy land, such as your past experience. ”
"Looks like you still have reservations!"
"Of course!" Jin Lingling put away her mobile phone, raised her head to look at Pang Jindong, and said, "Because these things are very important, I have no right to say it without your permission!"
"I don't think you have the right to say anything about the land!"
"I'm kind. Jin Lingling pursed her lips and continued: "I don't know why, Sister Yaoyao cares about you very much, but she has a deep misunderstanding about you. ”
Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter if she misunderstands me or not!"
"Do you really think so?" Jin Lingling picked up the water cup in front of her and took a sip of water, but her eyes were always staring at Pang Jindong.
"Why don't I think so?"
"Actually, I really hope that you and Sister Yaoyao can be happy!"
Pang Jindong looked at Jin Lingling and asked strangely, "When did you start being an old man under the moon?"
"I hope you don't always pretend that you have nothing to do with Sister Yaoyao. I know the relationship between you and Sister Yaoyao, I know that the two of you grew up together, I know that her father is your godfather, and I know that after you went abroad, you lost contact......"
Pang Jindong took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but when he heard Jin Lingling's words, he paused at that time. After being stunned for a while, Pang Jindong took the cigarette off his mouth and asked thoughtfully, "It's all Shen Jiayao who sued you, right?"
"I think that if Sister Yaoyao knew about your mercenary life and how much you have suffered abroad, she would not have such a prejudice against you. Why don't you explain?"
"A fierce life doesn't need to be explained!" After a pause, Pang Jindong asked: "You should have heard of this famous saying, right?"
Jin Lingling nodded and laughed, and the atmosphere between the two eased.
Pang Jindong said again: "A qiē go with the flow. If she had believed me, she wouldn't have cared about false appearances. If she doesn't want to believe me, even if I call myself a fairy, she'll think I'm from hell. ”
"You are indeed from hell!"
"To be precise, my body came from hell......"
Pang Jindong's words were interrupted by a pleasant ringtone, and someone called Jin Lingling.
Jin Lingling picked up the phone and said, "Hello!"
"Hello Lingling, I'm Uncle Chen. The samples you gave me have already been tested. Most of the upper layers are garbage, and the bottom ones are animal bones. However, because it has been corroded by strong acids, it is not possible to determine whether it is human or not. ”
Jin Lingling looked at Pang Jindong, and said to the phone with a calm face: "Got it, thank you." With that, he hung up.
"You're very busy!" Pang Jindong asked lightly.
"The forensic center called. Today a corpse was found in the suburbs, corroded by a person with strong acid, and we wondered if we could find useful clues through guò identification. Jin Lingling threw her phone into her bag and pretended to be casual. But her eyes were staring at Pang Jindong, trying to find something from Pang Jindong's facial expression.
"Oh!" Pang Jindong just nodded, and it had nothing to do with him. Even though Jin Lingling had keen observation, she couldn't find anything unusual in Pang Jindong's expression. Pang Jindong's composure is not only because of his good psychological qualities, but also because Jin Lingling said four very important words - "a corpse".
Jin Lingling asked a little impatiently, "Don't you want to know what happened?"
"I'm still too busy with my own affairs, so I don't have the leisure to care about your police work!" Pang Jindong said, smiling teasingly.
Jin Lingling was disappointed, but continued the topic unrelentingly: "Once we find evidence, we will arrest the murderer immediately." ”
"Yes!" Pang Jindong lit a cigarette for himself and took a leisurely puff.
Pang Jindong's expression was still so calm, and Jin Lingling couldn't find any clues that could be used. But even if she found it, Jin Lingling didn't know what she should do next, so Pang Jindong's expression gave Jin Lingling a kind of comfort, so that she could believe that she had misunderstood Pang Jindong. Jin Lingling said: "But evidence is in front of the law, and if there is not enough evidence to support it, even if you know that this person is the murderer, you will be helpless against him." ”
"When you had no evidence, you still had to accuse me of hooliganism!"
"Legally you are not a hooligan, but morally you are!"
"How dare you be with me a scoundrel!"
Jin Lingling ignored Pang Jindong's words, and said with a pun: "It's the same for other crimes, when the law can't punish it, you can only ...... in the court of morality."
Under Jin Lingling's repeated pressure, Pang Jindong finally couldn't avoid this topic. Pang Jindong interrupted Jin Lingling's words: "I think that there is no fixed standard for the so-called morality, and your morality may be different from my morality." The same is true of the law, some acts that do not violate the criminal law in our country will have to go to jail in country M. Can you say which law is necessarily right? More importantly, the law is not omnipotent, so in many cases it needs to be supplemented by other means. ”
"The so-called dark justice?"
"Yes!"
"Have you ever done this justice?"
"I don't have to answer you!"
"I can't deny it, in fact, what you said is also very reasonable!"
"It's best that you can think so!" Pang Jindong nodded, took the menu and said, "Order food!"
