After Xu Wenlong listened to Zhou Jiuhua's headless words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, raised his head and looked at him stupidly......

Zhou Jiuhua smiled and said in a nonchalant tone: "Let me tell you, I turned out to be the president of a branch of a bank in inland provinces......"

"And now?" Xu Wenlong couldn't wait to ask, feeling a faint trace of anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.

"Now," Zhou Jiuhua shrugged and said, "Don't do it, hang up the seal and leave, and go to the United States to create a new and beautiful life." ”

"Quit? Why? Xu Wenlong was taken aback, "Do you have a U.S. green card?" Have you found a new job in the U.S.? Why did the president, who everyone admires, choose to leave his hometown and go to the United States to develop? ”

"You don't understand this?" Zhou Jiuhua looked at Xu Wenlong with strange eyes, and after being sure that he was not cheating, he bluntly told him, "I can't do it, you know, run away, let's go away, if you don't leave, you can only wait for the detention and imprisonment, right?" Therefore, you can only leave the United States without knowing it with a pre-applied U.S. green card and the funds at your disposal in the bank. ”

When Xu Wenlong heard this, he couldn't help but stand up, pointed at Zhou Jiuhua and said sharply, "You...... You're calling it a runaway with money! This is...... This is not allowed by the law of the land! You...... Aren't you afraid that I'll report you right away? I have a friend in the National War! Feel free to contact him! ”

"Why are you so excited?" Zhou Jiuhua glanced at Xu Wenlong with a smile, shook his head and said indifferently, "Okay, I admit that I am a corrupt official who fled with money, and I also know that this is not allowed by national law." But now that I have the courage to tell you, I must have an excellent plan to deal with it, so I am not afraid of anyone reporting me. After all, I'm on the high seas, and the relevant departments can't reach me. What's more, as soon as the ship arrived in Hawaii, I would simply change my name and surname and hide it, so that even if you have the ability to penetrate the world, you won't be able to find me. ”

Xu Wenlong thought about it, Jiuhua has been familiar with officialdom for a long time this week, and he must have figured out the procedures of the relevant departments, and he must have absolute confidence and certainty before he dares to reveal his secret plan. Otherwise, he would never have taken the risk of exposing himself and thus pushed himself into a situation from which he could never recover. Thinking of this, he changed his tone and said to Zhou Jiuhua patiently: "I know that you have carefully designed your own escape route, and I also know that you must have taken a lot of public money, which should ensure that you and your wife will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." But have you ever considered how much damage you will cause to the country and the people if you leave like this? And how much impact will it have on society as a whole? What's more, what about your children, parents and other relatives, do you just leave them alone? And how can you bear it? Therefore, I still advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, return to China as soon as possible, and turn yourself in, so as to strive for leniency from the government! ”

Zhou Jiuhua waved his hand and replied with a relaxed face: "Let me tell you the truth, my parents have passed away a long time ago, and my children have also moved abroad, including my wife. As for which country I live in, I don't want to disclose this, and I don't dare to disclose it, I hope you don't mind, Manager Xu. And as you just mentioned, my escape will cause huge losses to the country and will have a bad impact on society, and I admit that I am deeply guilty. But who made me degenerate from a positive, diligent person into a corrupt and corrupt person who did not want to make progress and indulged in enjoyment? Who made me give up family warmth and family fun to this road of no return? And not yet some defects in this country, caused by some officials! It's not that some of the customs of this society are forced by some stereotypes! So, please don't blame me, and don't despise me, in some ways, I'm actually a real victim! ”

"You ......" Xu Wenlong's face sank, and Zhou Jiuhua said angrily, "You have an extreme personality, poor self-control, you can't withstand the temptation around you, and you will indulge yourself and be willing to fall when you have the slightest opportunity, and you will eventually fall to this point." Now that I don't want to repent and make amends, but instead blame this country and society, it is really unreasonable and incredible. ”

Zhou Jiuhua smiled, looked directly at Xu Wenlong and said mockingly: "Manager Xu should have been a student who only read sage books not long ago, or a soldier who was isolated from the world and trained wholeheartedly. ”

When Xu Wenlong heard this, he couldn't help but be puzzled and said, "What do you mean by this?" I am indeed a recent military man. ”

"That's right!" Zhou Jiuhua replied proudly, "Because only these two kinds of people are separated from society, they are simple-minded, and they are completely ignorant of the filth of the official field and the dirtiness of the world, so they are full of beautiful longing for this world." But the reality is cruel, and one day you will be hit on the head, bleeding and scarred. ”

Xu Wenlong frowned and argued: "Not necessarily, this world is already very beautiful!" ”

"That's because you are among the upper class, admired by thousands of people, and have strong monetary capital and social connections, so you can do things smoothly and unimpeded. Sometimes even a look and a movement can solve the goals that the people at the bottom can't reach when they fight for their lives, and of course they think that the world is very cute and beautiful! ”

Xu Wenlong was silent, and only after a long time shook his head and said lightly: "I'm just a poor boy who came out of a ravine, and I am not as beautiful as you say, and I am not as beautiful as you say. ”

"What? Are you just a poor mountain boy? Zhou Jiuhua's eyes widened, and he looked at Xu Wenlong with a sparkling gaze, "Did you say something wrong?" Or did I hear it wrong? You have no background, no backers, and no strong family background, but how did you get started? But how did you get on this cruise ship? Did you win hundreds of millions of scratch lots? Or are the mountains in front of your house and behind your house made of gold? It can't be smuggling, drug trafficking, and abduction of women. ”

Xu Wenlong couldn't help but look at Zhou Jiuhua with tears and laughter, but he really didn't know how to answer his question.

"Isn't it convenient to say? Then let's stop there. Zhou Jiuhua saw that Xu Wenlong wanted to speak and stopped, hesitating, so he narrowed his eyes and smiled as if he was smart, "However, are you interested in hearing my story?" ”

"Let's say, if you're idle anyway, it's just a side dish

bar. Xu Wenlong glanced at Zhou Jiuhua, nodded and said casually. Ever since he learned his secret, Xu Wenlong has been thinking about what to do with it? After all, he is a fugitive from the state and an enemy of society, and everyone has the responsibility and obligation to help arrest him, and it is impossible to watch him flee with money and get away with it. But what to do? Imprison him on the spot? I am not a law enforcement officer, so I don't have this right. What about talking to the captain? That's the same as not saying it, after all, it has nothing to do with him. It seems that there is only one step at a time, depending on the situation.

"Yes, it's idle anyway, it's better to chat and relieve boredom." Zhou Jiuhua lowered his head and took a sip of wine, his face slowly became solemn, and his thoughts seemed to return to the distant world, "Once upon a time, I was actually a hot-blooded young man with ideals and ambitions, with a beautiful vision and yearning for the future, and I was full of ambition to devote myself to this society. Especially after I entered the banking system, I secretly vowed that I must rely on my own ability and ability, and I must rely on my own momentum and enterprising spirit to create a world of my own and contribute my due strength to the development of the motherland and the progress of society. ”

Xu Wenlong nodded slightly, sat down gently, and listened carefully to Zhou Jiuhua's story.

However, the ideal is very plump and beautiful, but the reality is very helpless and ruthless, which is simply disappointing. Because in the days to come, no matter how hard I worked hard and how well I completed my tasks and goals, I always did not get the appreciation and trust of the relevant leaders, and I couldn't even get a single one, let alone the bonuses and benefits I deserved, which was directly several grades lower than others, a difference of two or three times. However, some colleagues who are usually unscrupulous and do not work hard are evaluated every year, and the bonuses and benefits are doubled or even tripled or quadruple. I was so puzzled and depressed that I didn't know what was wrong. Until one day at a dinner party at work, a slippery colleague drank too much and spit out the truth after drinking. This made me wake up and suddenly open up, and unexpectedly found the crux of the problem. So on the evening after the dismissal, I gritted my teeth and took out 10,000 yuan in cash, (that's my salary for a whole year!) He took advantage of the moonlight to knock on the door of the bank director's house like a thief. The moment the director opened the door, I will never forget his look of surprise with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open. It wasn't until I shoved the stack of cash into his hand, hunched over and told him with sincere fear, and asked the director to take care of me, that he welcomed me into the living room with great enthusiasm......"

Xu Wenlong sighed, frowned and criticized Zhou Jiuhua: "Your director is indeed very bad, but it is only an isolated phenomenon, not all leaders are like him." If you had been as diligent and enthusiastic as you had been at that time, I believe that you would have met Bole who appreciated you, and you would not have ......."

Zhou Jiuhua shook his head, opened a pair of confused and empty eyes, and said to himself: "Since then, the director's attitude towards me has taken a 180-degree turn. No longer looked at me coldly, no longer looked at me as nothing, the title of 'advanced worker' soon came to pass, and his own interests were preserved, even slightly more than ordinary colleagues. I tasted the sweetness, and naturally I didn't forget the people who dug the wells, so I didn't work very actively and peacefully, and turned to all kinds of flattery, all kinds of blowing and beating, all kinds of hollowing out the flattery, and all kinds of tributes for the New Year's holidays...... The so-called pay will be rewarded, and labor will be fruitful. After many years, I have gained a lot, made a lot of gains, my salary and benefits have been improved all the way, and my position has been rising steadily, and finally I have climbed to the position of president of a prefecture-level bank. The position is higher, the power is greater, and there are more people asking for me, and it is my turn to enjoy. So I went in and out of high-end restaurants during the day, I couldn't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and at night, I wandered the top clubs, and the beauty ring was endless. As for the tribute, not to mention, the level is higher, the hand is more generous, the large denomination, the big hand, the gold, silver jewelry, the strange calligraphy and painting, it is simply dazzling, dizzying, the heart is full of joy, the whole body is comfortable......"

"It stands to reason that I have gotten to this point on my own, and I should have kept to myself and devoted myself to pleasure. But I was not satisfied, I was not carried away by the temporary victory, I had greater ambitions, higher goals. As the book says, life never ends, and there is no end to fighting. A prefecture-level governor can indulge in such a luxurious life, but what if he mixes with a provincial-level governor? What about national governors? My God, wouldn't that be like an emperor! ”

"After some deliberation, I got to work, and I knew the road with ease. First deliberately befriended the superior leaders, tried their best to do what they liked, and then bombed them with heavy money, took turns to attack, and finally looked forward to the arrival of the promotion success. Then what I never expected was that I spent a lot of money for several years like this, almost all the previous bribes were folded in, and even public funds were used, but there was no movement at all, not even a small wave, and there was no intention of promoting me at all. It's strange, why didn't the tricks that had been tried and tested in the past work? Could it be that the water and soil are not adapted, and there is repulsion? Or is the bomb being dropped too weak? Of course, I will not be discouraged, let alone back down, so I adjusted my strategy and continued to attack. In order to ensure the effect, I frantically raised funds, no longer took into account the reserve and decency, and directly changed from passive bribery in the past to blatant bribery, and did not reach the corresponding amount of money and never gave convenience, and even secretly set up stumbling and obstructing in every way. At the same time, it was not until the national agriculture and forestry subsidy fund was used that a huge amount of cash of tens of millions of yuan was finally raised, and it was handed over to the two key deputy leaders of the headquarters bank in a specific way......"

"Then it's another bamboo basket to draw water." Xu Wenlong, who was shocked and stunned when he heard it, couldn't help but mock, "And you can't afford to pay back this huge amount of money, and you're afraid of the East Window incident, so you have to run away from the wilderness." ”

Zhou Jiuhua smiled bitterly, shook his head lightly and said, "On the contrary, I succeeded this time!" ”

"What? You've made it! Xu Wenlong's eyes widened and he looked at Zhou Jiuhua in horror.

"Yes, I made it! , crisp and neat, perfect goal! Zhou Jiuhua's tone was soft, and his face was calm, as if he was telling a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

"Oh my God, this

…… How is this possible......" Xu Wenlong sighed again and again, and shouted, "Okay, since your dream has come true, God has fulfilled your wish, but why do you have to give up everything and run away with your life?" Isn't that surprising? ”

"It's not surprising at all, it all makes sense."

"Why? How do you say that? ”

"What else can I say?" Zhou Jiuhua lowered his head and took a sip of wine, sighed with a bitter face and said, "Because I'm scared, I'm really scared!" Although there are delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, I eat like cotton wool, and although I am accompanied by beautiful women every night, I can't sleep all night. After all, there are too many debts and too big a hole in funds. In particular, the misappropriation of agriculture and forestry funds may be exposed at any time. And once exposed, cold shackles and dark prisons await me......"

Xu Wenlong smiled and nodded, "I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place?" ”

Zhou Jiuhua glanced at Xu Wenlong gloomily, wrinkled his eyebrows and continued: "In the days when I was the governor of the provincial bank, I had almost no fun at all, and I almost fell into purgatory. All we have to do every day is to frantically solicit bribes, frantically sell officials, frantically dismantle and fill holes, and cope with inspections by superiors. However, it is still difficult to smooth out that account, and it is even far from it, and it is useless at all, what should I do? Less than a year has passed since I was so frightened, and I really can't go on. Especially after seeing the first director of the head office for taking bribes, he was taken away for investigation in full view. I was completely scared, completely panicked. I was restless in my sleep, I had nightmares, and I was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, inspired by an anti-corruption TV series, I found a way out of the difficult situation that is not the way to solve the problem. So I immediately seized the time to take action, quietly moved my wife and children overseas, continued to use my power to embezzle bank funds, laundered through a series of methods, and then remitted them to my wife and children's accounts in batches, thus solving their daily needs. In the end, I found another appropriate opportunity, and finally boarded this cruise ship through a well-designed route, without doing anything, and transferred a new rural construction fund without doing anything......

In the end, Zhou Jiuhua's emotions became excited, his face was flushed, his breathing was short, his hands were swaying wildly, he looked directly at Xu Wenlong and said angrily: "Now you tell me, who forced me to enjoy corruption and depravity?" Who made me desperate to flee to another country? Not the leaders in question? Not yet those flawed systems? Although I did cause some losses and harm to the country, can I blame me? Who should I blame? ”

Xu Wenlong looked at Zhou Jiuhua with sympathetic and pitiful eyes, and said in a calm and powerful tone: "Who is to blame? Isn't it your own fault? Blame yourself for being weak-willed, unstable in your position, blaming yourself for greedy for pleasure and losing yourself. Otherwise, how could there be such an embarrassing situation and an embarrassing end? So I hope you don't have any intentions, let alone any luck, the only way out is to return to China and turn yourself in, and the best outcome is to make up for your sins with practical actions! ”

Zhou Jiuhua was silent after hearing this, and said with a smile after a while: "I will consider your suggestion, but there is almost no possibility of adopting it." After all, my plan was perfect, and I didn't have to worry about being arrested. Think about it, who would give up the days of being at ease abroad and stupidly run back to China to be judged? Who would give up foreign wine, food and beautiful women, and be willing to endure the lonely and painful prison life? Unless the head is not normal! By the way, in fact, from the moment I boarded this cruise ship, I had already stated my plans to the relevant leaders, and even clearly told them that I had taken some of the public funds and left them. So you don't have to work to report me, and even if you denounce it, it's basically equal to zero. ”

"Are you really that sure? Haven't you heard of the saying 'if you're not careful, you lose everything'? Xu Wenlong saw that Zhou Jiuhua looked full of confidence, and he couldn't help but make a mistake in his heart, and when it came to this, he really didn't know what to do with him.

Zhou Jiuhua grinned, held his head high and said proudly: "Then you might as well ask Manager Xu to give it a try!" ”

"Naturally, I can't just watch you get away with it." Although Xu Wenlong's words are sharp, he actually has no bottom in his heart, after all, Zhou Jiuhua, as the governor of the provincial bank, has great power and a wide range of channels, and it is indeed not a difficult thing to make up his mind to run away, but it is still necessary to intimidate and dissuade, "Besides, even if you escape and live a comfortable life, can you live with your conscience in this life?" Can you eat well and sleep? ”

"This is even more worrying about the manager, now there are many seniors who have made an excellent example, carefully arranged, with money to slip away, life can be comfortable and comfortable, every day to spend all day and drink, there is nothing to do!" Zhou Jiuhua drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, staggered up and said, "Thank you Manager Xu for the wine, and thank you Manager Xu for condescending to chat with me and say goodbye." If you have the opportunity to reply, I hope that Manager Xu will be drunk at that time! ”

"That's not necessary!" Xu Wenlong was in a complicated mood, depressed, and didn't say anything to keep it, so he stood up and sent Zhou Jiuhua out of the living room. When he went out, he asked intentionally or unintentionally, "That Zhu Hong should be your lover." ”

Zhou Jiuhua said with a "snort" in his mouth, waved his hands and said with disdain on his face: "Do you mean that little slut of water-based poplars?" It's just a temporary toy. Fucking attracts butterflies everywhere, flattering and foolish, and thinks I'm a fool and doesn't know about her dirty behavior. Once I settled down, she knew what regret was. ”

Although Xu Wenlong didn't have a good impression of Zhu Hong, he saw that Zhou Jiuhua's words were not good and there was a faint murderous intention, so he asked in surprise: "What do you want?" Is it hard to think ......?"

Zhou Jiuhua smiled, pretending to be casual and said, "I didn't think about anything!" In short, I won't really be good to her. Didn't she ask me to buy French fashion last time? Counterfeit goods, although the workmanship is more fine, ordinary people can not see the authenticity, but it is only more than 10,000 yuan. Okay, I'm leaving, please stay and talk about it when I have time. ”

"No more!" Xu Wenlong silently looked at Zhou Jiuhua who was staggering away, and his heart was full of flavors for a while, which was indescribable.
