Chapter 40: Ask Yourself

Mei Yuanzheng was angry in his heart, and he hated Xue Kui to the core, not only because of the seizure of power, but more importantly, he felt that Xue Kui had ruined his hard work and destroyed this small coal mine full of vitality. I think that at the beginning, I personally reused the knowledgeable Xue Kui, but now that I think about it, I really regret it.

Mei Yuanzheng wanted to deal with Xue Kui, but his rights were not enough, and he had no backstage support, so over the years, he saw Xue Kui's arrogance in his eyes and was angry in his heart, but he could only do well water without river water. But this time is different, the concealment of the incident touched his bottom line, and the death case attracted the attention of the police and the detective agency, especially after communicating with Chen Tianyu, Mei Yuanzheng found that Beiting had the ability and perseverance to deal with it, so he made up his mind to use this incident to destroy Xue Kui's lair in one fell swoop and bring the coal mine back to life.

Gao Kehua lowered his head and fell into contemplation, his heart that had been closed for a long time was slowly touched by Mei Yuanzheng's true feelings.

After that, Mei Yuanzheng said a lot of things, but Gao Kehua couldn't listen to it anymore, and his brain was occupied by many things, such as the scene when he first came to the mine, such as his mother's earnest teaching, such as the oath he once made. But now, it is really a matter of things and people, except for himself who is still working in the coal mine, everything else seems to be undergoing earth-shaking changes.

Gao Kehua didn't know how he got out of Mei Yuanzheng's office, he just slowly descended the stairs, holding the handle with his hand, his body seemed to have no strength, and he needed the help of the handle to stand firmly.

More than ten years ago, the ambitious Gao Kehua and Mei Yuanzheng were still middle-level cadres in the mine, at that time there was only one mine here, and Xue Kui and these people had not yet come, in fact, the veterans of this coal mine were only Gao Kehua and Mei Yuanzheng There were only two people.

Gao Kehua is working hard every day, in order to work, he can even go down the mine hungry, or he can not go home for several days and nights, often late at night, and sleep in the mine. At that time, the coal mine had not yet built an office building, and their office was once just a tent, and the back became a temporary board house, where Gao Kehua often slept without feeling any discomfort.

Through unremitting efforts, Gao Kehua quickly got promoted, married a daughter-in-law, and had children. But all this changed with an unexpected accident, and he didn't want to think about it anymore, so he automatically skipped it in his mind, but since then, Xue Kui has appeared.

Xue Kui is a high-achieving student who graduated from a prestigious university majoring in geology, with outstanding ability and extensive contacts, and his professional knowledge and management ability have won everyone's admiration. At first, Mei Yuanzheng, who was promoted to the mine manager, regarded Xue Kui and Gao Kehua as his right and left hands respectively, and boldly delegated power to them, and Gao Kehua was also using practical actions to repay the trust of the leaders.

But gradually, he discovered that Xue Kui was doing a lot of dirty transactions behind the infinite scenery on the surface. Xue Kui never dared to let the righteous mine manager Mei Yuanzheng know about these things, but he was only in charge of half of the work, and if he wanted to succeed, he had to need the cooperation of the other half, that is, Gao Kehua. Gao Kehua was reluctant to become Xue Kui's accomplice at first, and pointed out several times that his behavior was not only contrary to the trust of the leadership, but also suspected of violating the law and committing crimes. Unexpectedly, Xue Kui didn't eat this set at all, coerced and lured himself, and even the wicked sued first, and turned over some of the unintentional mistakes he had in the procurement accounts, it was because of these small mistakes that Gao Kehua was actually investigated by his superiors, and almost handed over to the police for investigation in the name of dereliction of duty and self-theft, and finally thanks to the help and proof of the mine manager Mei Yuanzheng, Gao Kehua kept his identity and innocence.

However, since then, Gao Kehua, who knew Xue Kui's methods and the toughness of the background, never dared to provoke him again. has no background, and has a wife and children to support, under the dual pressure of material and spiritual, Gao Kehua had to compromise. And Xue Kui seemed to have left the previous contradictions behind him, and tried his best to win himself over, and in the end, Gao Kehua went behind his conscience and assisted Xue Kui to do many things that he despised.

In the process of assisting Xue Kui, Gao Kehua did get many benefits, such as having a lot of improper income, and his wife was also introduced to work in a factory, under the name of an accountant, and he didn't have to go to work every day but could get his salary on time. Gao Kehua knew very well that these were all arranged by Xue Kui, and he didn't know who Xue Kui's backstage was, but he understood very well that this person's black hand was stretched out very long, and he couldn't afford to be guilty in the past, but now that he has taken the benefits of others, he can't get off the thief ship, and he can only go all the way to the dark.

Gradually, Gao Kehua actually got used to this kind of life, his economic conditions improved, he bought a house and a car, and he gradually knew about Xue Kui's affairs, even to the point that he knew how to do it without Xue Kui's greeting. However, every day in the middle of the night, Gao Kehua will feel afraid for a while when he is quiet, and he will always be worried, afraid that one day the East Window incident will be ruined for the rest of his life. Especially after the concealment of the incident was revealed this year, Xue Kui, who controlled the matter, was safe and sound, but he punished the mine manager Mei Yuanzheng who knew nothing, and he was even more worried, feeling that if Xue Kui's ugly deeds were exposed again in the future, he might use himself as a shield.

Just now, Mei Yuanzheng sincerely reminded himself that he suddenly woke up, and he suddenly found that he had gone too far on that road, and there was no way to turn back and walk again. He felt that he was sorry for Mei Yuanzheng's trust, sorry for his old mother's teachings, and even more sorry for his conscience.

Gao Kehua, who had learned from the pain and was depressed, just walked out of the office building, and could no longer bear the sourness of many years, so he squatted on the ground and hugged his head and cried, countless emotions instantly gathered together and exploded in a concentrated manner, which had been accumulated in his heart for several years.

This scene was seen by Fat Sheng, who was secretly surveilling, and he was ordered to monitor the office building, record the travel status of the leaders of the mining area, and the situation of people coming and going. Originally, it was quite calm today, Mei Yuanzheng and others came to work normally, but Xue Kui never appeared, and the workers went to work on time, so no one came in and out of the office building for an hour. At this time, Fat Sheng unexpectedly found that Gao Kehua, the deputy mine manager, was such a big man, after squatting down and crying like a child after moving from inside to the outside of the building with difficulty.
