Chapter 437: Pingliang
In the surveillance video, Geng Feng hesitated a little after hearing You Bo's words before saying, "I haven't found that person yet." β
Later, Lai Xiaohu heard Geng Feng's son Geng Jian's words again, and saw him whisper to Geng Feng: "Dad, let's talk about this matter after we go back." After that, a few people changed the subject, said something inconsequential, and left.
After turning off the video, Lai Xiaohu lay on the bed and thought about what You Bo said about Geng Jian in the last stage, and all the videos and voices monitored this night were useful. But now Lai Xiaohu is a little hesitant in his heart, that is, how to deal with Geng Feng in the future.
If Lai Xiaohu wants to deal with Geng Feng, he will definitely not choose to confront him head-on, what he wants is to grasp the evidence of Geng Feng's illegality through some means, and then coerce Geng Feng to make him give up blackmailing Mao Qingping. However, if you want Geng Feng to comply, this evidence must be strong enough. In Lai Xiaohu's view, the issue of simple bribery is not enough at all. If you want to say that a person like Geng Feng is honest, it is estimated that no one who has had dealings with him will believe him, but now Geng Feng is still good. Everyone knows about Geng Feng's problems in this regard, but no one has ever hit Geng Feng because of this.
If Geng Feng was a young man and he dared to accept so much money, there must be people who didn't deal with him who took the opportunity to attack him. But now that Geng Feng is about to retire, no one wants to fight Geng Feng because of this problem. I have to say that Geng Feng's current state is indeed very wonderful, although his career is hopeless, but he can seem to be afraid to do a lot of things that he didn't dare to do before.
Lai Xiaohu wanted to continue to attack Geng Feng. Then we can only look for those more exciting news, only those more serious problems will drive some people to dare to attack Geng Feng, and only those more serious problems will make Geng Feng feel afraid. However, it is not so easy to find the more serious problem that Geng Feng is hiding. Although Lai Xiaohu can continue to track Geng Feng, whether he can find it depends on luck.
But at present, Lai Xiaohu has found a new way, that is, to start with the people around Geng Feng. Just like the Geng Jian he saw today. As Geng Feng's son, Lai Xiaohu didn't believe that Geng Feng would not care about his son's future or personal safety. Especially for an older person like Geng Feng, he often does not value his net worth and life very seriously, but he regards his descendants as very precious. So Lai Xiaohu wondered if he could find a breakthrough from Geng Jian's body. Among these people around Geng Feng, Lai Xiaohu believes that there are only two people Geng Feng cares about the most. One is his son Geng Jian, and the other is Geng Feng's daughter and Geng Feng's granddaughter.
Geng Feng's granddaughter is probably five or six years old, and it is really a bit embarrassing for Lai Xiaohu to attack such a young girl. But it's much easier to attack Geng Feng. And Lai Xiaohu believes in people like Geng Feng. The son he educated may not be any better, maybe Geng Feng has done no less bad things behind his back than Geng Feng. Especially the matter about Geng Jian that they mentioned before they left tonight, Lai Xiaohu believed that it was definitely not a commendable thing.
As the biggest takeaway of the night, Lai Xiaohu decided to start with the incident they mentioned. But it was the most stubborn and followed Geng Jian's interjection. They detoured to other issues. There is very little mention of the things that Lai Xiaohu cares about. It is indeed a bit too arbitrary to conclude that this is a breakthrough based on just a few sentences.
"Forget it, it's just a few days of delay." After the end, Lai Xiaohu decided, and directly used Geng Jian as a breakthrough. Even if he failed in the end, he would just waste a few more days of his time. Anyway, it is not particularly urgent to solve Geng Feng, there is no difference between a few days early and a few days of play.
Now that it has been decided to start with Geng Jian, the top priority is to figure out everything about Geng Jian. Lai Xiaohu wanted to ask Liu Wei at first, but then he thought that Liu Wei might know about Geng Feng. But for Geng Jian, it is estimated that he will not pay attention to it. After all, Liu Wei is also a person with a certain status and status, and no one will keep it in mind.
Lai Xiaohu still decided to go to Mao Qingping. If you want to say who is most concerned about the affairs of the Geng family, I am afraid it belongs to Mao Qingping, after finding Mao Qingping the next day, Lai Xiaohu directly asked him about Geng Jian, "Geng Feng's son Geng Jian, how much do you know about his situation?" β
"Except for the fact that I know that Geng Jian works in the government department, I don't know anything else." Mao Qingping thought for a while and said, "By the way, what are you asking Geng Jian for?" Are you going to find a breakthrough from Geng Jian? β
"That's right." Lai Xiaohu nodded and said his plan, "It's difficult to directly find a handle that can make Geng Feng jealous. But we don't have to put Geng Feng to death. Your purpose is nothing more than to get Geng Feng to give up blackmailing you, and we just need to exchange it for someone he cares about. This person is Geng Jian, I don't think Geng Feng will care about his son's life or death. And I now know that something should have happened to this Geng Jian, and now Geng Feng and You Bo are dealing with this matter. β
"That's good. Then I'll go and ask someone about this Geng Jian's situation. After listening to Lai Xiaohu's words, Mao Qingping immediately nodded and said. Compared with Lai Xiaohu, as a businessman who has been in the business city for decades, Mao Qingping's sources are undoubtedly much broader than Lai Xiaohu's. Lai Xiaohu didn't know who to ask if he wanted to inquire about Geng Jian's situation, but Mao Qingping was able to find the direction quickly.
And Mao Qingping's work efficiency is very fast, just out of the phone not long after receiving feedback, after hanging up the phone Mao Qingping said to Lai Xiaohu: "I have a friend who has a lot of dealings with Geng Feng, he told me that Geng Jian is now working in the city * government * government, and it seems that he is working as a secretary in the secretary * secretary * office. β
"Being a secretary?" Lai Xiaohu said: "Who is Zhilu Dao for? β
"I don't know what to do, my friend only knows that." Mao Qingping said.
"Whatever he does." For Lai Xiaohu, knowing the news is enough, "As long as you know where Geng Jian works." β
Knowing where Geng Jian worked, Lai Xiaohu said goodbye to Mao Qingping and drove directly to the parking lot of the municipal government. Lai Xiaohu didn't go out and waited in the car. This is the municipality*. It is impossible for Lai Xiaohu to sneak in directly to find Geng Jian, so the risk is too great, and it is safer to wait for Geng Jian to come out by himself here.
Sure enough, when he got off work at noon, Lai Xiaohu saw Geng Jian. I hurried to the parking lot with a small bag on my own. Geng Jian's car was parked not far from Lai Xiaohu's car, with two cars in between. As soon as he walked to the car door and opened the door, Geng Jian's mobile phone rang. Geng Jian, who was about to get into the car, took out his mobile phone very irritably and answered. Lai Xiaohu, who didn't plan to go down, glanced at his eyes and happened to see that Geng Jian was not locked when he was making a phone call with his back to him. With a move in his heart, he quickly got out of the car, and then walked towards Geng Jian's position.
Walking to Geng Jian's side, Lai Xiaohu held Geng Jian's car door with one hand, and said to Geng Jian: "Hello, may I ask Mr. Geng, right?" β
"You are?" Geng Jian, who was on the phone, glanced at Lai Xiaohu very suspiciously. Then he asked with a little vigilance.
"Oh, I'm a company. I want to find Mayor You to do something but I can't find a way, I heard that Mr. Geng and Mayor You have a good relationship. So you want to invite Mr. Geng to have a meal together? While talking to Geng Jian, Lai Xiaohu quickly put a monitor on Geng Jian's car.
And Geng Jian originally thought that Lai Xiaohu had something to do, but when he heard Lai Xiaohu say that he wanted to ask someone to do something, he immediately said angrily: "Get out of the way." I don't have time to pay attention to you. "Finished. Geng Jian hung up the phone, got into the car directly, closed the door, and quickly left here.
After Geng Jian left, he left Lai Xiaohu staring viciously at his distant car shadow in the spot, "Hmph, sooner or later, you will know what is going on." "When has Lai Xiaohu been scolded like this, it is strange that he can not be angry after listening to Geng Jian's words at that time. It's just that considering that the overall situation should be the most important, I put up with it for the time being. However, through Geng Jian's actions just now, Lai Xiaohu also verified one thing again, that is, this Geng Jian is definitely not a good person.
Chong Geng Jian has such a bad temper. With such a high-minded attitude, Lai Xiaohu didn't believe that Geng Jian was a good gentleman. If Geng Jian's family is ordinary. Such a temper may just be a small mistake, but Geng Jian has a good family background, there is a powerful father in the family, such a family background coupled with such a hot temper and a high-minded attitude, I don't know how many evil things have been done behind the scenes.
When Geng Jian's car was about to leave the parking lot, Lai Xiaohu also reacted and hurriedly got into the car and followed. With the monitoring equipment, Lai Xiaohu doesn't have to follow Geng Jian all the time, this time he has kept a distance of dozens of meters from Geng Jian, although the distance is very far, but he doesn't have to worry about losing it.
followed Geng Jian and Lai Xiaohu to a primary school at noon, where Geng Jian's daughter went to school. At noon, Geng Jian accompanied his daughter and his wife who came later to have a meal together, in order to avoid being discovered by Geng Jian, Lai Xiaohu never got out of the car, but used his free time to have no fast food.
After eating, Geng Jian's wife was responsible for sending her daughter back to school, while Geng Jian himself went back to work. However, on the way back, Lai Xiaohu heard the content of a call from Geng Jian through the listening device placed on Geng Jian's car.
At that time, Geng Jian should have been in a very bad mood when he saw this call, and the first thing he said after answering it was directly shouted: "Pingliang, you are still finished." You said 500,000 and I've already given you 500,000. Now you didn't give me the evidence, but asked me for five million? You're kidding me, aren't you? Do you believe that I killed you? β
"Believe, how can you not believe." The same young voice on the other end of the phone said, "How dare I not believe what you Geng Dagongzi said." But it's because I believe you can do this kind of thing that I asked you for the five million. You give me five million, and I give you something, and then you and I owe each other, and I will never appear in front of you again. β
"You want to run?" When Geng Jian heard this, he asked directly, and quickly changed his words, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else." β
"No, no, no, I didn't misunderstand." The voice over there was not in a hurry, "Do you think I will go back honestly?" Obviously, he didn't think that Geng Jian would let him go, so he directly planned to get the money and ran away.
"Geng Jian, I'll give you a day to think about it. Call me when you've thought about it, and we'll discuss the details of the deal. But if you're not willing to spend money on it, I'm sure someone will be interested in those things. "Finished. I hung up the phone over there. And then there was a burst of cursing in the car, and it was obvious that our eldest son Geng was angry.
After a while, Geng Jian took out his mobile phone and made a call to Geng Feng. "Dad, that Pingliang has changed his mind, and he now wants five million. What to do? β
"What to do, what to do, what do you say," Geng Feng immediately lost his temper when he heard this, "Of course it's for him." Or wait for him to make those things public? β
"But I'm always worried that he won't be satisfied when he gets the money, and if he asks for more when the time comes, we'll be in even more trouble. And although he said that he would call things out when he got the money. But who knows if he did move those things? After all, he had seen those things, so it was a hidden danger after all. β
Geng Feng was silent on the other side of the phone for a while, and then said, "Don't be reckless in this matter. Come back in the evening to discuss it. β
After hanging up the phone with Geng Feng, Geng Jian became honest. After watching Geng Jian go back to work. Lai Xiaohu also drove away from there temporarily.
On the way back, Lai Xiaohu thought about what he had heard before, and now Lai Xiaohu could finally confirm his previous guess. It should be that person named Pingliang who has something that is very threatening to Geng Jian in his hand, and then the other party took this thing and asked Geng Jian for 500,000. At that time, the two parties should have agreed to pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other.
However, after the man named Pingliang got the money, he changed his mind, maybe he felt that Geng Jian would not let go of himself if he did this, so he felt that it was dangerous to continue to stay in Shangdu, and he planned to ask Geng Jian for another five million, and then run away after getting the money.
And the Geng family was going to spend money in the face of Pingliang's coercion, but Geng Jian himself was worried that Pingliang would backtrack. So in order to solve the problem once and for all, he already has a plan to do it in his heart.
This is a problem that Lai Xiaohu has learned about temporarily. But what he was most interested in was who that flat beam was? And what exactly is it in his hand? And the matter between Geng Jian and that Pingliang Lai Xiaohu was not interested, he wanted to get the thing in Pingliang's hand.
"The top priority is to find out who Pingliang is first." Lai Xiaohu thought in his heart.
Lai Xiaohu called and asked Mao Qingping, and he didn't know who this person named Pingliang was, so Lai Xiaohu had no choice but to ask Liu Wei for help.
Liu Wei didn't know anything Pingliang, but he could use his relationship to let people help Lai Xiaohu check, and a few hours later, Lai Xiaohu received a call from Liu Wei, "The investigation is clear, that Pingliang also works in the Shangdu Municipal Government, and he is still a colleague with Geng Jian." β
"Colleague relationships?" Lai Xiaohu laughed directly, this relationship is really messy enough.
At the same time, Liu Wei's news to Lai Xiaohu also includes Pingliang's family situation. This Pingliang is an orphan who was abandoned by his parents when he was a child, and later lived in an orphanage for a while before Pingliang was adopted by his family. The family was not young when they adopted Pingliang, the man was almost fifty years old, and the woman was in her early forties.
Pingliang has been living in this family since then, but his adoptive father died of illness when he was in high school. When I used to see my adoptive father, the family's money had been almost spent, so since then, the family's life has been described as barely enough, starving to death, but it is definitely not good.
When he was in high school, Pingliang studied better, and he was admitted to a good university in college. After graduating from university, Ping Liang was admitted to the civil service, which is his current job, working in the municipal * government with Geng Jian.
After becoming a civil servant, the life of the Ping family was much better, but half a year ago, Pingliang's adoptive mother also fell ill, and this illness disrupted Pingliang's normal life.
Pingliang's adoptive mother was in her sixties at this time, and it was normal for her to be sick, but this time she had a more serious illness, heart disease. Ping's mother was old, and at this time the heart attack was more serious, and she had to undergo surgery. If it was a terminal illness, maybe Pingliang would not take the risk, but heart disease can be treated, and in Pingliang's opinion, he must cure his mother no matter what.
However, Pingliang is more filial, he did not dislike the other party because he was not his biological mother, but attached great importance to the other party's nurturing grace back then. So since his mother was hospitalized, Pingliang has been raising arrears for his mother's treatment.
How did Pingliang's money come from, Lai Xiaohu could already guess in his heart at this time. However, what is more embarrassing is that although Pingliang got the money, his mother did not cure it. In the end, the operation failed, and Ping's mother, who had raised Pingliang for more than 20 years, also died on the operating table.
Lai Xiaohu guessed that Ping Liang might have wanted to get the money for the continuation of the operation through Geng Jian at the beginning, and then after the operation was successful, he would make a deal with the other party to give things to the other party.
However, with the failure of the operation and the death of his mother, Pingliang's own brain began to calm down. Without the ties of his family, he must think about his future. It was at this time that he suddenly realized that he had been too naΓ―ve before. As Geng Jian's colleague, Ping Liang should know Geng Jian's personality very well, and he suddenly realized that what he did might have brought him death. Ping Liang didn't dare to risk testing Geng Jian's conscience, so he could only choose the safest way and run away. However, before running away, Pingliang also had to get a sum of money for future expenses.
These are all Lai Xiaohu's own guesses, but he thinks these should be closer to the truth.
"Pingliang, I'm here." Lai Xiaohu thought in his heart. (To be continued......)
