Chapter 43: Seeking the Skin of the Tiger
The river breeze is slow, but it can't blow away the thousands of sorrows that separate people. No matter how chaotic the world is, no matter how bad life is, it must go on. When night falls, the dim lights are lit up, and all kinds of food stalls, like two long red dragons, line up on both sides of the Yangtze River.
The city, having just rested for a while, began to get busy again.
At a food stall, in an inconspicuous corner, sat a middle-aged man, dressed in casual clothes, with a plain complexion, in front of him, there were several strings of barbecue on the table, and a bottle of beer.
Although he is dressed casually, it can be seen invisibly that this is a figure who has been in a high position for a long time. If you look closely, this person is somewhat similar to Wang Wen.
He is Wang Wen's eldest brother, Wang Lin, who has just escaped from the mental sanatorium. He was waiting for someone, but after a long time, no one came, and he couldn't help frowning.
At this moment, a young man came to the door of the stall, swept his eyes in, and finally his eyes fell on Wang Lin. The young man chuckled, walked over to Wang Lin's place without hurry, and sat down calmly across from him.
"I didn't expect that a dignified department-level cadre would ask a little-known person like me to meet, and what I didn't expect was that in this kind of place, Wang Lin, aren't you afraid of many people?" As soon as the young man sat down, he spoke.
"Barbecue stalls can't talk about things? This kind of place is much safer than those high-end hotels and teahouses, at least there are no monitors, and there is no need to worry about the ears of the partition wall! Wang Lin paused for a moment and stared at the young man opposite, "It's you, Wu Zhiyuan, if you dare to come alone, aren't you afraid that I will set up a pit to kill you?" ”
"Why wouldn't I?" Wu Zhiyuan met his gaze, his eyes sharpened, "If you really want to kill me, we are only a foot away now, I promise, before I can kill me, I will kill you first!" ”
"What a daring!" Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and chuckled.
"How did you know my phone number?"
"You used this mobile phone number to call Zhengyou, on the water side! Forgot? ”
"On the water side!" Wu Zhiyuan muttered, couldn't help but think of Huang Li, was silent for a moment, waved his hand and said, "There is no need to talk nonsense, you asked me to come, what is the matter?" Go ahead! ”
"I want to cooperate with you and deal with Chen Shengtian together!" Wang Lin got straight to the point.
Wu Zhiyuan didn't answer immediately, but turned around and shouted: "Boss, come with two bottles of beer and a plate of fried screws!" Spicy! ”
It wasn't until after the wine and food were served on the table that Wu Zhiyuan picked up a bottle of beer, took a sip, and then said leisurely: "I don't know what we can cooperate with, why should I cooperate with you?" You must know that Wang Zhengyou and I have had conflicts! ”
Wang Lin's eyes narrowed, and then he let go, and said, "Because of this, Chen Shengtian never imagined that we would conspire against him together!" What's more, he has what I want and what you want, we have the same goal, and this is the basis of our cooperation! ”
"Oh? How do you know that Chen Shengtian has what I want? Wu Zhiyuan seemed to be interested all of a sudden.
Wang Lin shook his head slightly, and said, "Ming people don't say secret words, are you not able to come to Yucheng to travel?" I know Liu Fang! ”
"What?" Wu Zhiyuan was really surprised this time.
"Not only do I know her, but I also know that she and a person named Li Feng led someone to take Chen Xi away from Wang Wen, and she also told me where Chen Xi was locked up, and now are you interested in cooperating?" Wang Lin laughed.
"Say it! How to cooperate? Wu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.
Wang Lin picked up the chopsticks, picked up a screw, got up casually, and said slowly: "Before cooperating, I want to confirm one thing first!"
"What's the matter?" Wu Zhiyuan's eyes flickered, and when he heard the news of Chen Xi, he was very excited, but his face did not change.
"I want to know if you killed Cher!" Wang Lin said word by word.
"It's not!" Wu Zhiyuan shook his head, to tell the truth, Mei Xue'er was indeed not killed by him.
"Are you sure?"
"Since you can get Chen Xi's news from Liu Fang, didn't he tell you who killed Mei Xue'er?" Wu Zhiyuan asked rhetorically.
"She said that Chen Shengtian killed the three of Xue'er, I can't believe her, I thought she was using me to help her deal with Chen Shengtian!" Wang Lin said, filled himself with a glass of wine, and drank it all.
"Do you just believe me?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at him with a smile.
Wang Lin smiled but did not speak.
"This is strange, I have seen Liu Fang, I have been following Chen Shengtian, why did he turn his head to deal with Chen Shengtian?" Wu Zhiyuan asked.
"Because during this time, Chen Shengtian was busy going public and always wanted to whitewash himself, Liu Fang knew her situation, she knew too many things about Chen Shengtian, some things, the more she knew, the more dangerous it was, she wanted to run away, so she conspired with me to steal a sum of Chen Shengtian's money." Wang Lin didn't care about the scruples at all, and said frankly directly.
"Then why are you looking for me?" Wu Zhiyuan's eyes became deeper.
"Because Liu Fang is dead!" Wang Lin poured himself a full glass of wine again, and drank it all in one gulp, "If you want to find Chen Xi, you must cooperate with me!" Although I am a little downtrod now, I have been in politics for many years, and I still have some connections, otherwise how would I know that Liu Fang is dead? I can give you information! ”
"And what do you need me to do?" Wu Zhiyuan leaned back in his chair and said lazily.
"I want Chen Shengtian's blood debt to be repaid!" Wang Lin gritted his teeth, and his face instantly became gloomy, "Xue'er can't die in vain, my son Zhengyou can't die in vain!" Although Wang Wen is a bastard, he is my own brother, and he can't die in vain! ”
"There are so many women in the world, why are you in love with a brother's woman?" Wu Zhiyuan glanced at him deeply and thought to himself.
"You're so unfair!" Wu Zhiyuan reopened a bottle of beer, took a sip, and then said solemnly, "You are using me as a gunman, I just want to save people, but you want me to kill people, our vested interests are not equal, how can we talk about cooperation?" I'm working hard with Chen Shengtian, but you're hiding in the shadows and watching the excitement comfortably, it's not good! ”
"Huh!" Wang Lin sneered, "I look up to you and think you are good, so I sincerely came to you to cooperate." But you always beat around the bush and have unequal vested interests? I know how important Chen Xi is to you, and I know even more that the day you find her later, the more dangerous she will be. And I, the gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, I can slowly deal with Chen Shengtian, whose needs are more urgent? ”
"Don't forget you're a fugitive now!" Wu Zhiyuan sneered, "You colluded with Liu Fang to steal Chen Shengtian's money, she wants to run away, don't you want to?" How do you run without money? You came to Yucheng, not only to take revenge, but more importantly, you are trusting the relationship and want to fly away! Where to fly? Of course, it's abroad, and there is no place for you as a political prisoner at home! ”
"So, you don't want to talk?" Wang Lin fluttered, stood up, and stared straight at Wu Zhiyuan.
"It's not that you can't talk about it!" Wu Zhiyuan was unmoved, and said lightly, "However, the money you stole from Chen Shengtian will score half of me." When it's done, it's not just you going to run away, I'm too! ”
"What a lion's mouth!" Wang Lin's face was as gloomy as water, "Since you know that I have connections to help me flee abroad, you should also know that I naturally have the ability to entrust someone to do tricks on the exchange and hinder the listing of Shengtian Group!" All of this costs money! ”
"What does it have to do with me whether he goes public or not?"
"Irrelevant? If he goes public, with Chen Shengtian's character, he will clean up all the stains, including your lovely Chen Xi girl! Do you think he'll keep a * by his side after he succeeds? Wang Lin said meaningfully, "What's more, what do you think he is doing to arrest Chen Xi?" I heard that that girl is very good-looking, and trading power and sex is Chen Shengtian's usual trick, you should know what this means! ”
"You're coming to talk to me with sincerity?" Wu Zhiyuan also stood up and said in a low voice.
After being silent for a long time, Wang Lin suddenly laughed: "The money can be given to you, but not half, but tenth, one million, this is sincere enough!"
"Good!" Wu Zhiyuan thought for a while and nodded, "Then we decided like this, the specific details will be discussed another day, you have to tell me now, where is Chen Xi being held?" ”
"In the eastern suburbs ten kilometers away from Yucheng, there is an artificial lake there, you will know as soon as you go, but I have to state first, the source is Liu Fang, I am not sure if the girl is there, how to do it, you can do it yourself." Wang Lin blurted out, he knew that Wu Zhiyuan would ask sooner or later.
Wu Zhiyuan nodded and stopped talking.
"When the money is discussed in detail another day, I'll send it over!" Wang Lin stretched out his right hand and said with a smile, "Happy cooperation!" ”
"Happy working together!"
After Wu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he left in a hurry, at this moment, his mind was full of Chen Xi's shadow. He knew that cooperating with Wang Lin was tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, and he didn't want to bargain with Wang Lin just now, he wanted to test the depth of this person, however, this person was cunning and cunning, he couldn't test anything, he wasn't sure if Chen Xi's news was true, but even if it was a trap, even if it was a tiger's den in Longtan, he had to go! Wang Lin is right, the longer the time drags on, the more dangerous Chen Xi becomes! Wu Zhiyuan had no choice.
However, as soon as he walked to the door of the stall, his phone vibrated a little, he stopped, turned on his phone, and there was a short message:
"There are always a thousand tastes in the world. Perhaps you have experienced the cruelty of life. Maybe you have not been favored by fate, but you must choose kindness, please be gentle with the world.
Yuan'er, you have to remember that no matter what you do, never lose yourself! Take good care of yourself outside, your father and I, wait for you to take Xiaoxi home together! Treasure! ”
This is a message from Yang Qianmei, Wu Zhiyuan knows that she is worried about herself.
"Aunt Mei, don't worry, I will definitely take Xiaoxi home!" Wu Zhiyuan clenched his fists, "The eastern suburbs of Yucheng?" Xiaoxi, you wait for me! I'm here to pick you up! ”
Wu Zhiyuan puffed up his chest, like a lone wolf, and his tall figure flashed in front of Wang Lin's eyes and disappeared into the vast night......
