Chapter 2199
Looking at Hu Tao's appearance, Zhao Desan felt that he was actually a person without any scheming. However, just when Hu Tao said "not refuse even if he has to die," Zhao Desan's mind turned, and he couldn't help but think to himself: Why not take advantage of Hu Tao's need for help today and deliberately let him help him investigate Li Fang's background, letting him mess up his own position? Damn it, he was only worried, but he forgot this ready-made winning treasure.
Thinking of this, Zhao Desan sighed slightly, smiled, and said, "Brother, what you just said is true?"
"How can there be a fake? Your brother absolutely says one thing and means another, and does what he says." Hu Tao patted his chest and said. Zhao Desan could agree to help him, and Hu Tao naturally showed a look of returning the favor. Whether he could do it was one thing, but he must not be soft on his mouth.
Zhao Desan hesitated. He had to know that if he made this move, once Hu Tao was double-dealing, wouldn't he be played by this guy in the palm of his hand? But now Zhao Desan could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. So he said to Hu Tao, "Brother, your little brother happens to have a tricky matter to ask for help now. I don't know if you are willing to help with this favor?"
Seeing that Zhao Desan also had something to ask of him, Hu Tao didn't think as much as others, thinking that Zhao Desan was making a deal with him. Instead, he happily patted his chest and said, "Brother, your business is my business. Tell me, what is the matter? As long as your brother is here, there is nothing that cannot be solved."
Looking at Hu Tao's posture of bragging without blinking, Zhao Desan couldn't help but want to tease him, so he smiled evilly and said, "Then I can say it?"
"Say it, say it quickly, brother. Your brother doesn't dare to say anything else to you, but in Xijing City, I'm afraid there is nothing your brother cannot settle." Hu Tao was still full of pride, feeling that he had done projects in Xijing for so many years, and had known many leaders, big and small, and had relationships with people in other industries.
Zhao Desan raised his body, reached out and patted Hu Tao's shoulder, and said, "Brother, your little brother's business is to let you settle that Zheng Ru." At this time, Zhao Desan changed his mind temporarily, thinking why not take this opportunity to let Hu Tao vent his anger for Zheng Zheng Tulu's daughter for himself! Anyway, he didn't like Zheng Ru, so he was too lazy to care who got with her!
"What?" Hu Tao seemed to have not heard Zhao Desan's meaning clearly for a moment, widened his eyes, and was stunned.
Zhao Desan was afraid that he didn't understand, so he increased his tone and repeated, "My meaning is to let you settle Zheng Ru yourself. As the saying goes, you have to stuff the trouble you caused yourself." While speaking, Zhao Desan's eyes kept staring at Hu Tao's eyes. From Hu Tao's eyes, Zhao Desan could see a look of despair flashing away.
After a moment of silence, Hu Tao seemed to have come back to his senses, furrowed his brows, and said to Zhao Desan, "Brother, you can't do this. Your brother came to ask you for help sincerely. You can't take your brother for fun." Don't say, Hu Tao was still an old Jianghu. After coming back to his senses, he asked Zhao Desan with words.
Zhao Desan laughed "hehe," patted Hu Tao's shoulder, and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you. But brother, looking at your expression, it seems like Zheng Ru is really powerful, scaring you like this. I'm afraid you were scared enough!"
"That's not it. You don't know, such a woman who is rare in a hundred years, who you like and who makes you afraid, I met." Hu Tao pouted and sighed.
Zhao Desan's heart was excited for a moment, and he chased and asked, "Then tell me how she makes you like her?"
"Hi, don't say that. Of course, it's the woman's skill in bed. Really, don't say, Zheng Ru's skills are not possessed by ordinary women. If you just talk about that thing, that is also a rare strange woman."
"Brother, I don't understand this. As the saying goes, 'if you get something, you must lose something.' Since you have already got Zheng Ru in bed, it is always worth losing some other things." Zhao Desan was asking Hu Tao sincerely this time. He was wondering in his heart, Zheng Ru just looked beautiful and had a good figure, what else was special? Could it be because she was Zheng Zheng Tulu's daughter? Hearing Hu Tao say this, Zhao Desan seemed to have moved that mind to Zheng Ru again. His heart was itchy, and he couldn't help thinking: It seems I have to try it one day.
"Sigh, alright, don't say these things. In short, you just help your brother with this favor. There are some things that cannot be said clearly. It is not too late to tell you in detail when there is a suitable opportunity later." Hu Tao seemed to be in a low mood, but he seemed to have thought of something, changed the topic, and asked, "Right, brother, you just said you had something to find me, it shouldn't be a joke, right?"
Zhao Desan nodded, sighed "ai," and said, "Brother, I think you can definitely do this thing."
"Hmm, then tell me quickly, as long as it is something I can do, I will definitely do it for you with 100% strength." Hu Tao seemed very serious this time, no longer bragging about himself like just now.
"That's good, but I'll say it first. If you can help with this matter, help. If you can't, don't force it. But there is one point you must do, that is, you must keep it secret. No matter if you can help me or not, keep it secret." Zhao Desan said with extra caution.
"Brother Liu, don't worry. I don't have any other skills, but I can still do the point of being loyal." Hu Tao said very seriously.
Seeing Hu Tao's sincere attitude, Zhao Desan didn't hesitate anymore, bit his lip, and said, "I think you have been doing projects for so many years, and your relationship with Director Zheng should be extraordinary. Now Director Zheng is a bit against me. I want to ask you, brother, to pave the way for me, so that Director Zheng will no longer compete with me." Zhao Desan mentioned Zheng Zheng Tulu because he wanted to test Hu Tao, to see if Zheng Zheng Tulu, this old guy, had anything to do with the wage-chasing incident. The black hand behind this matter had always been what Zhao Desan wanted to find out, but he didn't know who was playing tricks behind his back after thinking about it, so let's test them one by one.
Hearing Zhao Desan mention Zheng Zheng Tulu, a strange look flashed in Hu Tao's eyes, and then he pretended to be very puzzled and asked, "Why is Director Zheng competing with you?"
"Hehe, don't ask about this. But I can tell you clearly that I don't have any grudge against Director Zheng. I think it's just that he is a bit narrow-minded about some things." Zhao Desan said cleverly.
A strange look flashed across Hu Tao's face, and then his brows were furrowed like a pleated skirt. He made a bitter face and said to Zhao Desan, "Brother, no matter what you and Director Zheng have a grudge for, I'm afraid I really can't help you with this favor!"
Zhao Desan nodded and chuckled, expressing understanding, and said, "Since brother can't help with this favor, then your little brother won't force it."
Hu Tao looked at Zhao Desan apologetically and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry. It's not that your brother won't help you, it's just... it's just that your brother is not that familiar with your Director Zheng, not as you think."
Since a frontal attack wouldn't work, let's have a side attack. Thinking of this, Zhao Desan had another plan, and then pretended to have thought of something suddenly, and said to Hu Tao, "Right, brother, your little brother has one more thing. I think you, brother, can definitely help your little brother with this thing."
Seeing that Zhao Desan had other things to ask of him, Hu Tao looked at him very sincerely and asked, "Brother, what else is there? Tell me."
Zhao Desan went straight to the point. He furrowed his brows and said slowly, "Brother, you have been doing projects for so many years, and you should know the labor market of the construction industry in Xijing City very well. I want you to help me investigate a person. This should be a piece of cake for you, brother." Speaking of this, Zhao Desan paused.
Hearing that the thing Zhao Desan asked him to do was within his scope of expertise, Hu Tao immediately patted his chest and said confidently, "Brother, tell me, which person? Tell me the name, and I will arrange for someone to find out her background with one phone call!"
"Brother, the person I want you to help me investigate is a woman. Her name is..."
"... Li Fang." Zhao Desan paused for a moment and reported Li Fang's name.
Hearing Li Fang's name, Hu Tao's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and then he seemed a bit panicked and uneasy, not expressing his position for a long time.
Seeing Hu Tao's terrified and uneasy appearance, Zhao Desan stared at his eyes with a strange look, and then asked with a "hehe" smile, "Why doesn't brother speak? Is there any difficulty?"
Hu Tao looked at Zhao Desan with an extremely awkward expression. Seeing his look, he seemed to understand why he suddenly wanted him to investigate Li Fang at this time. He thought he should know some truth.
Just when he was hesitant and uneasy, not knowing how to pick up Zhao Desan's words, Zhao Desan took out his mobile phone, found the MMS that Han Wu had sent him before, stretched the phone screen to Hu Tao, deliberately let him look at this MMS, and said, "Brother, I mainly want you to help me investigate who the man with Li Fang is."
After seeing the photo on Zhao Desan's phone screen, Hu Tao immediately widened his eyes, and his face turned pale. He clearly saw that the man holding Li Fang in the photo was himself. After seeing this secretly taken photo, Hu Tao completely understood. It seemed that Zhao Desan came prepared and wanted to use this Zheng Ru matter to make a deal with him. And since he had already discovered the relationship between Li Fang and himself, it was enough to show that his investigation into the wage-chasing incident was close to the truth.
