Three days later, somewhere on the shores of West Lake.

A bright blue sporty Maserati parked in a deserted parking lot.

It was Feng Yiji who was driving, while Zhou Tianyin sat in the co-pilot, took the new mobile phone with an anonymous card, and called Feng Jianxiong.

The reason why it came out was only out of the caution of a person who knows the law - when you use this anonymous card to make a call, it is better not to be in your own home, and not in the place where you often work. Lest any clues be tracked down by someone with a heart in the future.

If it were to be as strict as the CIA or the KGB, the anonymous phone would not even be able to be turned on at home, but would have to be turned on again when it was somewhere.

Therefore, today she took advantage of Feng Yiji's opportunity to go out with something, and volunteered to accompany her best friend, find a place to stop halfway down, play for a while, and make a phone call.

Her tone was a little excited, and a little trembling.

"That...... Xiaoxiong, Director Yu and a few others have really been investigated, but they haven't been completely controlled yet. I listened to your final explanation, but I didn't take the initiative to explain to them, and they still haven't contacted my family. ”

The "final confession" she mentioned was also reminded by Feng Jianxiong when he chatted with her a few days ago.

Originally, Zhou Tianyin thought that she already knew the whole plan, so she reacted a little too aggressively - on Saturday, her mother Murong Ping had already explained a lot of problems to the economic investigation and formed detailed explanation materials. The defence lawyer was also asked to inspect and copy the transcript of the confession for the day.

The next day, after the video on the Internet was discovered, it was actually not too popular at that time - there was some fierce news on the Internet, and it had to go through a period of fermentation before it could make a big fuss, and the process was likely to take three or five days.

And Zhou Tianyin had already done a good job of "If Yu Huiwen or others find out that Murong Ping has reported meritorious service and made trouble", then she prevaricated the rhetoric of "My mother knows that you are going to have an accident, so you will explain the waste utilization, and make a meritorious service in vain".

Even if the other party doesn't believe it, if there is any hostile move towards him in a short period of time, Zhou Tianyin plans to bear it.

However, none of this happened. Whether it is Fan Jian or Yu Huiwen, no one chooses to settle accounts with Zhou Tianyin at the first time.

At this time, Zhou Tianyin knew that he was a little overreacting and had a "persecution delusion".

Feng Jianxiong on the other end of the phone listened to Zhou Tianyin state the ins and outs of the past few days, and then comforted him in a calm tone:

"That's not the end, I told you - the things that your mother explained to the detectives, the investigators are not stupid, in order not to startle the snakes, of course they will not directly announce it to the public. Therefore, even if your mother has made meritorious contributions, Director Fan and Director Yu will not know about her meritorious contributions immediately.

In their eyes, there was a nest case in the bureau, and the culprit was the little Internet celebrity who broke the news, Fan Jian's unclean hands and feet and threw things, and Liu Yan's N station was bold and reckless in reviewing the content.

As for their wariness and antipathy towards your mother, they will not notice it until your mother's case goes to trial in the future and the defense lawyer asserts that she has a mitigating circumstance of 'major meritorious service.'"

At that time, you will let out the rumors again, and use me to learn in advance through a certain N station executive that some information has been leaked, and Ling Tang only rushed to make meritorious contributions for the sake of 'waste utilization'. That hatred value can at least take away seventy or eighty percent, and the little bit of resentment left, with the little energy they themselves have left, what waves can they turn over. ”

Feng Jianxiong's words always sound like a pearl of wisdom.

Zhou Tianyin babbled on and on, but the opposite side was always light and light, as if everything was expected.

It was at this moment that Zhou Tianyin really realized that the man on the other end of the phone, every game of chess, was not needed.

In many chess, it is necessary to take the initiative of the enemy to overreact before it needs to be rushed up.

If the enemy doesn't react to a beating, that's even better.

Those chess pieces placed in positions that are not directly lethal may not need to be used for the rest of their lives.

This is also the reason why in history (from World War I to World War II, excluding contemporary times), the British and American forces attached so much importance to intelligence work, while the German army paid relatively little attention to intelligence work-

The system of the General Staff of the German army is much more detailed than that of Britain and the United States, and the number of backup plans is dozens of times higher. Therefore, when every grassroots general of the German army leads the troops, he is actually prepared for all possible responses when "the enemy will choose various countermeasures".

Now that I've figured out "how do you deal with the left hook, how do you deal with the right hook, straight punch, uppercut, and flirting with the leg...... (On the other hand, the British army is doing everything possible to find out whether the opponent is playing a left hook, and if so, then the staff officers only focus on how to deal with the left hook.) This is also the reason why the front-line officers of the British and American armies are less adaptable. ）

Let the less necessary chess pieces take the initiative to expose, isn't the acting too bad?

That's not the style of the ultimate old yin beep Feng Jianxiong.

"Then in the next step, will we continue to move the enemy and I will not move?" Zhou Tianyin cautiously asked after checking all the details.

Feng Jianxiong made a decision: "Almost, if Yu Huiwen or someone else takes the initiative to come to the door or call you, blame you for sending the materials to Fan Jian in the first place, which indirectly led to the leak." You can fight back a little bit, and then say 'you know before they can do it, so waste it', but don't go into details.

If they don't even hold you accountable for 'indirectly causing the leak', you won't say anything and hold it until the court opens to defend yourself." ”

Zhou Tianyin silently wrote it down, was silent for a while, and sighed and asked, "Anyway, this time it's thanks to you." What do you think, how much light is my mother's sentence?"

Feng Jianxiong had already calculated this account, so he didn't have to think about it: "In her case, she could have been sentenced to less than 5 years, and the amount of money involved was okay, and it was possible for four or five years."

Commutation of sentences for major meritorious service is generally not commuted for less than 3 years in this sentence, and the maximum reduction is 1 year if the sentence is commuted. If it is less than 5 years, there are indeed many reports, and it will be reduced by two years at most. The best situation that can be expected at the moment is that she will be sentenced to 4 minus 2, and finally sit for two years to come out, and it is impossible to be less. ”

"Thank you. Zhou Tianyin suddenly choked up, and I don't know if it was because he had passed a hurdle, or if the three views of life had collapsed a lot, "After such an experience, I have also seen through a lot." Hehe......"

……

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tianyin and Feng Yiji got out of the car together and found a nearby café to settle for lunch.

On the south bank of Xizi Lake, near the Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts, there are many petty bourgeois cafes and bars, all of which are quiet and quiet places for art students to enjoy life.

The original purpose of Feng Yiji's going out today was just to go to a nearby high-end private hospital for a physical examination - Feng Jianxiong said that he would contact her for a kidney replacement next year, so that she could do the relevant physical examination and recuperation.

Although he already has a younger brother who is worth more than 100 million yuan (if the valuation of the investment project is exposed), it is said that the year-end bonus is no longer a problem. But Feng Yiji still retains the integrity of the beginning and the end, and wants to officially resign from PwC after finishing this year.

It's just that because she no longer thinks about promotion and performance, Feng Yiji can live a little easier. I was able to rest on time on weekends and take occasional time off.

And Zhou Tianyin happened to go out to contact Feng Jianxiong anonymously, and the recent busy work has finally come to an end, so he needs to relax and relax, so he came out with his hardcore girlfriend by the way.

The Maserati car was also newly bought by Feng Yiji.

Zhou Tianyin has not bought a luxury car yet, she is not a materialistic person, and recently there has been an accident at home, and it is impossible to go extravagant.

Feng Yiji didn't even eat anything too salty or drink coffee because she wanted to nourish her kidneys recently, and her eating habits became lighter, but she developed a temperament to eat French food. She ordered a glass of hot milk, some light salad, grilled salmon steak, and Zhou Tianyin didn't bother to toss, just like what she ordered.

The drink came up quickly, Feng Yiji took a sip of hot milk, and said with concern: "Auntie's case, you don't need to change lawyers to appear in court, right?"

Zhou Tianyin smiled reluctantly: "No, Xiaoxiong is also busy, is his kung fu outside the court." Everything that needs to be done has been done, and everything that should have been prepared has been prepared. We have a clear conscience, and we are not pursuing a defense of innocence, but just a light meritorious crime. ”

Let Feng Jianxiong stay away on the surface, not only to protect the Zhou family, but also to protect Feng Jianxiong.

The two chatted casually, and Zhou Tianyin also analyzed his recent mental journey with his girlfriend, and the main course was almost up.

Feng Yiji's heart was as careful as a hair, and while cutting the salmon steak, she asked keenly: "Tianyin, now that the matter is now, do you still want to find a good official or scholar who is 'virtuous and respected' to be your future husband?"

Zhou Tianyin's face turned red and he took a sip: "What do you say, I never thought that I had to find such a boyfriend, I never thought about it." ”

Feng Yiji chased after him: "It's not interesting, I don't know you yet?" Then I'll put it another way-Originally, if Xiaoxiong was willing to chase you as his girlfriend, did you fantasize about transforming him into a kind of celebrity scholar who 'stands up for virtue and is admired'?"

This question was asked too bluntly, and it was so specific, Zhou Tianyin was in a panic, and he found that he couldn't avoid it at all.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Feng Yiji for a moment, but found that the other party was staring at her without blinking, as if she was a little weak and lied, and she would be seen through.

"Think...... Have you thought about it......" Zhou Tianyin was forced to look at him and collapsed a little, and completely poured out, "Xiaoxiong is indeed a near-perfect boyfriend candidate, I originally thought that he was almost cruel to me, and he was unwilling to make even a little change for love, and would rather give Tian Haimo a chance than give me a chance......"

Zhou Tianyin's heart was in turmoil, and he sobbed silently as he spoke.

Feng Yiji was also choked, but she had insisted on saying it thoroughly: "But now it seems that Xiaoxiong is right." Because he had long expected that he would not make any concessions or compromises on the issue of principle with regard to his own three views for you. And your Virgo perfectionist personality won't make any compromises in principle for him – right?"

"No, I won't compromise for him, I think what is good and what is bad, I can't change just because I have a boyfriend. However, my life experience will teach me to see all hypocrisy, which is another matter. It's not the same thing for me to see through it, to teach me from him, to force me to change my ways!" Zhou Tianyin said stubbornly.
