Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Game (4)

Secretary Wen leaned back in his chair and thought about these things, thinking about some of the subsequent layouts, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

Since the public security system is already monolithic, it can only bypass this body, and only the Standing Committee can change the resolutions that have already been formed by the powerful organs.

He asked himself whether it was right to protect Liu in this way, and he had no answer, but seeing his daughter standing anxiously in front of him and begging bitterly, and watching the photo of his daughter holding his wife and secretly crying, Secretary Wen felt that no matter what the final outcome was, it was worth it for him to do this.

He cherishes the father-daughter relationship that has finally warmed up, and envies the warm family feelings of Liu's family, maybe he is not a qualified politician by doing this, but in doing so, for Wen Xiuyi, he is definitely a qualified father, and for Liu, he is definitely a qualified elder.

Of course, there are many things that he can't let Liu do according to his feelings, and he will also have his arrangements

The night was already very deep, and there were dogs barking in the quiet village, and I don't know which door opened to start the silence too much, causing a dog to bark, and it was heard far away in the quiet night.

People in the countryside rest early at night, and there are few lights in the villages.

The hour hand was already pointing to ten o'clock, and the lights of the room were still on, not only in the house, but also in the hall and in the wings, all the lights that could be turned on were on.

Liu sat quietly on an old-fashioned sofa by himself, looking at a gilded bronze Buddha in the northwest corner of the room.

The ash in the furnace has been accumulated, and only a short wooden thread of the three incense sticks that have been burned out is still standing there, and the Buddha who stumbles and stumbles on the lotus petal pinched the Dharma seal with his hand on the top of his head, and his narrow eyes squinted slightly at the world, so that Liu Ji couldn't help but sigh.

Zheng Shaoxin belonged to the great evil generation in his heart, but he didn't expect his elderly mother to be a devout believer.

Zheng Shaoxin used various means to grab a lot of wealth, but he didn't expect his mother to remain poor, gave up the wealth in the city, and has been living alone in the ancestral house, eating fast every day, and reciting Buddha sincerely.

The word to give up is a bit inaccurate, to be exact, that she never had it.

The file bag that Tian Yongjun handed to him contained all the information about Zheng Shaoxin, from his upbringing to his family background, his preferences, and the network of connections he could explore.

Ryu was most impressed by his mother.

His mother is about sixty years old, his father is a gambler, he ran away from home to avoid debts when he was young, and he has not been heard from since, and the burden of raising a child has fallen on his mother.

When he was young, Zheng Shaoxin did not study very well, and he spent eight years of reform, and it was when Zheng Shaoxin was imprisoned in the juvenile detention center that his mother began to believe in Buddhism, and became more and more pious over time, which is breathtaking.

When he entered the juvenile detention center when he was less than 16 years old, he was charged with intentional injury, the cause was his mother, and there is no case file to verify the specific cause, but everyone knows that the scar on his face was left at that time, and he almost died, supposedly to block the kitchen knife that slashed at his mother.

After Zheng Shaoxin was released from prison, he began to emerge, gathering some labor reform personnel who had met in the juvenile detention center and prison to mingle with the society, first occupying the fruit wholesale market to buy and sell, then developing to the vegetable market, and then controlling the shuttle bus route, gathering some ill-gotten gains, and then gradually developing to collect protection fees in shops in the main urban area, and secretly verifying that there were also opening casinos, collecting debts and raising oil and water for others, and even extortion, in short, he basically did all the bad things he could think of.

Slowly he became richer and richer, bought a property in the city, and bought a car, but everything he did did not escape his mother's eyes, so the mother resolutely did not accept everything Zheng Shaoxin bought for her, insisted on living in the old house, and used his small income to help the neighbors, and the reputation in his hometown was very good.

Zheng Shaoxin is known to many people in the village in the society, although his character evaluation is very low, many people still give a thumbs up to his filial piety.

His mother insisted on not going to the city, Zheng Shaoxin had no choice, but he would go home twice a week to visit his mother, although his mother's attitude towards him was very cold, but he never changed the routine of going home, and every time he went home, he would buy a lot of rare things for his mother.

The villagers said that although his mother never stayed once, he still insisted on bringing it back, and as long as Zheng Shaoxin caught up with the work at home, he must have done it himself, including changing tiles and repairing walls, and never faked his hands to others.

In Zheng Shaoxin's heart, his mother is bigger than the sky

Liu Ji recalled these materials in his heart, and was a little embarrassed. He unbuttoned his thickly wrapped long-sleeved shirt and wiped a handful of sweat from his face.

Bowing his head and touching his bulging upper body, Liu was relatively steady.

When people are born, they are not divided into good and evil, the environment and experience can change a person, but it is difficult to change a person's filial piety, and there will be things in the hearts of bad people who are concerned and cannot be parted, such as Zheng Shaoxin, his biggest part is his mother.

This is the night of the second day that Liu Relative came out of the criminal police team, and he has not been there for the past two days, and has been stationed in this village, chatting with the neighbors during the day, and sitting alone in this empty house at night for a long time.

He was waiting for someone, waiting for someone he thought would be destined to return.

This is Zheng Shaoxin's ancestral home, the old house where his mother has always lived.

The weather in summer is fickle, one moment the sun can be shining, the next can be a heavy downpour, the next moment there is a moon in the sky, the next moment can be dark clouds, and then heavy rain.

The rain came very quickly, and there was a wind, and the wind blew the raindrops into the room with the windows open.

Ryu got up and closed the back window, which was facing the backyard.

A flash of lightning pierced the dark rainy night, and then there was a deafening thunder, and Liu stood in the low window, his slightly haggard face reflected in the glass, and under the lightning-lit backyard window, there was a face.

A face with a scar.

Ryu stopped holding the window sash for two seconds, then nodded slightly at the black figure standing in the rain.

"Sit inside, it's raining outside."

The voice was natural, without the slightest tremor, nodding and greeting like a friend.

The door of the hall was pushed open, and a cold wind accompanied the soaked figure into the room, and the hair clung to the sides of the face, making the scar in the middle even more hideous.

At the moment of entering, Zheng Shaoxin turned around and closed the door.

With a click, it's locked.

Then he turned around and faced Liu Opposite, his hands clenched

"You're back."

Liu stood next to the window, his face unchanged.

"You're here."

Zheng Shaoxin stood next to the door, his face already calm.

The rain fell to the ground along Zheng Shaoxin's clothes, he wiped the rain from his face, took off his shirt, and then he gently put his clothes on the hanger at the door.

He deliberately avoided the dark blue shirt that his mother hung there, and carefully took him off and put him on the sofa, as if he was afraid that the rain on his body would wet his clothes.

He wears light-colored trousers with a dagger pinned to a dark belt.

The blade of the dagger was exposed, glistening coldly in the light.

"Where's my mom?"

Zheng Shaoxin seems to have become very calm.

"I want to talk to you."

Liu sat on the sofa, and the two were less than two meters apart.

"I ask you what about my mother?!"

Zheng Shaoxin's voice suddenly rose an octave, his face changed suddenly, he suddenly pulled out the dagger pinned to his waist, and pointed straight at Liu Xiang's face.

"Liu Relative, I know the purpose of your coming to my house, aren't you waiting for me? I'm here, don't embarrass my mother! ”

The wind and rain outside the house were rapid, and the temperature in the house plummeted sharply from the moment Zheng Shaoxin took out the dagger, like ice.

Liu Zheng raised his head and looked at Zheng Shaoxin's somewhat deformed face, his eyes were fearless.

"Can we sit down and talk?"

Zheng Shaoxin didn't pay attention to Liu Relative's proposal at all, he stared at the young man's naΓ―ve face tightly, he could even see the fine fluff on the young man's face at such a close distance, it was hard for him to imagine that such a child of your age could face himself so calmly, a villain who was fierce in both face and reputation.

Liu stood up and gently put his hands behind his back, his words were still calm, but the hands behind his back were already trembling.

Who said that Liu was relatively not afraid, he was afraid of death in his heart now, but he had to make himself appear calm.

"Zheng Shaoxin, I admire your filial piety, you can put yourself in danger for your mother, but I don't admire your inability to judge the situation, you are a fool!"

Liu's voice is not high, and his stature is not high, but the momentum in his language makes him look down on Zheng Shaoxin as if he was standing on a high place, with a majesty that is not angry but mighty.

"You guessed right, I was waiting for you, and you asked right, your mother is in my hands!"

Zheng Shaoxin's eyes froze, he took a step forward, walked in front of Liu Zhao, and put the dagger directly against Liu Zhao's neck, and the slightest coolness made the cold hairs on the young man's neck stand up.

"Don't leave it to chance, you may not know that I really killed someone."

Zheng Shaoxin said in a gloomy tone: "In my eyes now, it doesn't matter if I kill one more or ten!" ”

"So, if you want to talk to me, it's okay, it's better not to threaten my mother, let's talk, we have to talk like a man, it's useless to do those actions, besides, I don't think you dare to do anything to my mother!"

Liu smiled indifferently, he looked at Zheng Shaoxin's eyes and said, "What do you think I picked up your mother for?" ”

"It's just trying to lure me out, what else can you think?"

Zheng Shaoxin's dagger never left Liu Zhao's neck, he sneered at Liu Zhao, "I think you may have thought of something wrong, at this time I think you are more useful than my mother!" ”
