Chapter 1650: Reaching a Consensus
"I'm very sorry!" Zhao Desan shook his head in refusal and said calmly: "To ensure you don't play any tricks, this cannot be turned off!" In fact, this mobile phone of Zhao Desan's could only take pictures and did not have a video recording function, and the resolution was very poor. In the dim light of the warehouse, even if a photo were taken, one wouldn't be able to see clearly that the person was Xia Jian. He did this just to give Xia Jian a psychological blow, making him feel timid and fearful toward him!
Xia Jian felt very uncomfortable inside. He had never been threatened so nakedly before, but at this moment, he had no other way, so he pondered for a long time and said in a low voice: "What exactly do you want to say to me? Is it about the Zheng Jie matter?"
Zhao Desan maintained a mysterious and unfathomable appearance, smiling as he said: "Section Chief Xia, let's speak plainly. Actually, you and I originally had no grudges. At the unit, we climb up based on ability, and occasional conflicts of interest are normal. But you have harbored hatred for every one of my women. Zheng Jie was dismissed because you fanned the flames in front of Deputy Director He. And there's Section Chief Lan—don't think that just because I'm no longer staying on the second floor, you can play tricks now and try to undermine Section Chief Lan. Actually, I know that there must be someone's instructions behind this, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have the dog-guts to provoke Section Chief Lan. It just so happens that today I have some evidence here of you forcing women while doing evil. Believe it or not, I have decided to go against that someone! I hope you can answer a few questions for me honestly, and I can let you go. If you don't cooperate, then after that someone is driven out of office in the future, you probably won't fare much better..."
"You... are you speaking the truth? What evidence do you have?" Hearing this, Xia Jian panicked. He had indeed done some petty, villainous deeds in private, especially cheating outside while Ah Fang was pregnant, which Zhao Desan had bumped into once, making him feel very uneasy.
Although Zhao Desan was actually bluffing him, every word of Zhao Desan's made Xia Jian sense something. If it were truly as Zhao Desan said, he must have grasped some of his weaknesses, which made Xia Jian very worried.
"Section Chief Xia, I've said what I have to say. Time is short, and I don't want us to fall out right now. You decide for yourself!" Zhao Desan said steadily.
The more Xia Jian listened, the colder his heart felt. Since Zhao Desan had the guts to kidnap him and even threatened him, it was enough to show that his words had high credibility, plus he had a strong backing. Xia Jian hesitated, not knowing if he needed to submit to the other party. If he didn't bow his head now, he was afraid he wouldn't have any good fruit to eat...
"You... can you really guarantee that after I answer your questions, you won't deal with me anymore in the future?" Xia Jian asked hesitantly.
Zhao Desan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Of course, provided that you don't come to provoke me first, and also Section Chief Lan!"
"Fine!" Xia Jian gritted his teeth fiercely. The situation was stronger than the person; under these circumstances, he had no choice but to choose to cooperate with Zhao Desan. He nodded and said: "Ask away, as long as I know, I will tell you. But you must also guarantee that today's matter will not be leaked!" Xia Jian began to negotiate terms.
Zhao Desan revealed a victorious smile and nodded: "No problem. So, have we reached a consensus?"
Xia Jian wore a bitter smile and nodded helplessly...
After coming out of the warehouse, Zhao Desan kept smiling, occasionally even laughing out loud. Today's unexpected harvest was actually even greater than he had imagined.
Xia Jian was actually a guy who was fierce in appearance but weak in reality. After receiving a few threats from him, he answered every question truthfully. It seems he had overestimated him too much. Zhao Desan's sinister nature had truly frightened him; let alone retaliation, he was probably afraid he wouldn't have time to curry favor. With Xia Jian, this hidden enemy, gone, it naturally relieved Zhao Desan of a worry, and he didn't need to worry about Zheng Jie and Lan Mei anymore.
Things were indeed as expected. The reason Xia Jian dealt with him and Zheng Jie was, in fact, besides He Liping's intentions, also under the instructions and orders of Zheng Tulu. Xia Jian himself didn't have much of a grudge against Zheng Jie; he was just afraid she would snatch his work and status. Nothing else counted for much. What surprised Zhao Desan the most was that Xia Jian actually promised in person that as long as Zhao Desan didn't deal with him in the future, he could secretly help Zhao Desan deal with He Liping and Zheng Tulu together. And this was exactly what Zhao Desan had hoped for, so how could he not stop laughing?
After reaching a crucial agreement with Xia Jian, Zhao Desan readily let go of Xia Jian and that peach-blossom-eyed woman. The peach-blossom-eyed woman was so scared she almost peed herself. She scrambled to put on her clothes and kept promising Zhao Desan that she would absolutely not tell anyone about today's events and their conversation. With Xia Jian as a 'witness', Zhao Desan trusted the peach-blossom-eyed woman's words quite a bit. A commoner wouldn't dare to truly force and kidnap a woman, so Zhao Desan was also very ready to let the peach-blossom-eyed woman leave. However, before she left, out of curiosity, he asked about the secret between the peach-blossom-eyed woman and Xia Jian once more, which counted as having a certain understanding of the peach-blossom-eyed woman. Knowing she was in the business of solid wood or something similar, which might have some connection to building materials, she could be of help. Before letting her go, Zhao Desan specially kept her phone number.
After handling Xia Jian, Zhao Desan finally let out a long sigh of relief. From now on, he wouldn't have to fear being backstabbed by villains. But the role Zheng Tulu played in these matters made Zhao Desan very indignant, especially when thinking about how Zheng Jie had been taken by him in vain. Zhao Desan felt he couldn't swallow this bad breath. Since he had already handled Xia Jian, that dog-son, today, he wanted to have a double happiness and take the opportunity to avenge Zheng Jie for the violation of her body. Just before getting off work in the afternoon, Zhao Desan received news that the old guy was going to attend a social engagement in the evening, so he decided to postpone the meeting with Yingying for a while and take advantage of this opportunity to have a double happiness, going to Zheng Tulu's home to vent on his wife, Ma Lili.
Before the woman left, she looked at Zhao Desan gratefully with those soul-stealing peach-blossom eyes, which made Zhao Desan's heart start to harbor some little schemes: could he develop something with this woman who liked to cheat on her husband behind his back? However, thinking of the fiery intensity she had with Xia Jian, the interest Zhao Desan had raised dissipated quite a bit...
Taking advantage of the opportunity while Zheng Tulu went to a social engagement after work, Zhao Desan felt it was time to proceed with the next step of his revenge plan.
Zheng Tulu's home was in a high-end residential area on the outskirts of the city. Zhao Desan had been there a few times before. After getting off work, he politely declined Jia Wanli's 'good intentions' and rushed to Zheng Tulu's home by taxi without stopping. When going to Zheng Tulu's home, Zhao Desan had already made the worst preparations, thinking that if Zheng Tulu suddenly returned, he would just have a showdown with the old bald donkey, and the two would go against each other from then on. However, even so, Zhao Desan felt there was nothing to fear; at least he had Su Qing backing him, and the old guy would definitely not talk about his wife having an affair with him.
The residential area where Zheng Tulu lived was all high-end housing, and the occupancy rate was very low, so there were only a few households in one building, and they were all rich people who rarely went out, which made Zhao Desan feel much more relaxed. He went straight to Zheng Tulu's door and knocked on the main gate.
A moment later, the door was opened. It wasn't Zheng Tulu's wife, Ma Lili, who opened the door, but a woman of about thirty or forty.
Although the woman was already vaguely a bit plump, her appearance was still extremely sexy and elegant. Looking at her noble expression and exquisite, sexy attire, she had quite a bit of the temperament of a rich lady. If he wasn't mistaken, she should be some relative or friend of Ma Lili's. Zhao Desan secretly marveled. Don't look at Zheng Tulu himself as nothing special, but his wife Ma Lili was a genuine beauty. Although she was a bit older, it was exactly the moment when a woman had the most mature charm. And women who associated with such women generally wouldn't be bad either; the woman in front of him was an example. Although her appearance couldn't compare to Zheng Jie and Lan Mei, she had her own merits in terms of temperament, which stirred ripples in Zhao Desan's heart...
"Who are you looking for?" Seeing a strange man, the plump woman was clearly somewhat guarded, standing at the gate and looking vigilantly at the handsome young man in front of her, asking.
Zhao Desan smiled very politely and said: "Hello, my name is Zhao Desan. I am the Deputy Section Chief of the Planning Section of the Provincial Construction Committee. I am a subordinate of Director Zheng. Who are you? May I ask if Director Zheng has returned home?"
The plump woman in front of him felt a little more at ease after hearing Zhao Desan's answer, and she also smiled politely and said: "My cousin-in-law hasn't returned home yet. Deputy Section Chief Liu, right? Please come in, sit for a while. My sister is in the bathroom, wait a moment!"
Wow! So it's Ma Lili's sister. No wonder her beauty is extraordinary. Zhao Desan naturally wouldn't decline. Ma Lili's sister being so sexy and moving indeed surprised him quite a bit. Spending a while alone with such a plump woman wouldn't be bad either, Zhao Desan thought to himself. After exchanging a few polite words, he followed Ma Lili's sister into the door...
"Brother Liu, do you work at the Provincial Construction Committee? Why haven't I heard my brother-in-law mention you?" Ma Lili's sister smiled as she poured water for Zhao Desan, seemingly asking about Zhao Desan's background and intentions casually. As for what she was thinking specifically, Zhao Desan naturally had no way of knowing. While taking the tea she offered and saying thank you, he used the corner of his eye to look directly at the bathroom. In the frosted glass door, there was a vague figure sitting on the toilet; it should be Ma Lili.
Zhao Desan was also a veteran of the battlefield, and dealing with these official wives wasn't his first time. Saying only thirty percent of the truth when meeting people wasn't necessarily right, but he would never be careless. Ma Lili's sister might be testing him. Zhao Desan naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to tell her everything. He took the teacup and said thank you, and inadvertently his fingers touched her palm; it was soft, slippery, and a bit cold. This kind of woman might have some gynecological problems. Could it be caused by this woman's abnormal marital life?
"Hehe, actually, I haven't been transferred to the Provincial Construction Committee for long. I used to work in Yuyang City. After coming to the Provincial Construction Committee, I became Director Zheng's subordinate. He has taken good care of me, so I came to pay a visit today while I had some free time. Sister-in-law, I've forgotten your surname?" Zhao Desan answered a small part of the other party's questions in a moderate tone. These words were basically the truth and wouldn't cause him much impact.
