Chapter 1232

Wang Bowen smoked his cigarette puff by puff, and it was a long while before he spoke.

"You also said that this is no longer just my own business. Even if all the problems are transferred to a scapegoat, it's impossible for all of us on this boat to get off safely, right?"

Cao Jindong tilted his head to look out the car window, then leaned closer to Wang Bowen and said softly.

"When did I say that I would let everyone get off the boat safely?"

Wang Bowen was shocked in his heart, looking at Cao Jindong in horror.

Cao Jindong leaned closer to Wang Bowen again, lowering his voice even more.

"Today's matter was planned and organized, and the conflict was just the fuse created by the mastermind behind the scenes. Its purpose is very likely to ignite your rare earth mine.

And our Ganzhou rare earth problem is too serious; once your place explodes, other places may form a chain reaction. So, someone must come out to take the blame.

And this blame is definitely not something one or two people can bear. So, I don't want to lose my head, so I can only get off the boat secretly; what about you?"

The hand Wang Bowen was using to hold his cigarette suddenly trembled: "I... of course I also want to get off the boat secretly."

"That's right." Cao Jindong's voice was still very light, but it was full of murderous intent: "As long as we can get off the boat, who cares whether others live or die?"

"Gulp!"

Wang Bowen's throat rolled, and the hand holding the cigarette trembled even more violently.

"Can... can we really get... get off the boat safely?"

"I can't guarantee it." Cao Jindong's tone was somewhat suppressed: "But we must fight for it, because if we fight, perhaps we can fight for a way to survive. If we don't fight, we can only sink with them."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Wang Bowen's forehead, and it was a long while before he struggled to say: "Who do you want to transfer the problems to?"

"Zhao Yugang." Cao Jindong said: "He is the mine manager, and those little thugs are all his subordinates. As long as you explain the matter clearly to me, I will very reasonably pin it on his head.

By then, when the city's special investigation team comes down, you just say that Zhao Yugang was managing the rare earth mine, and you only checked the accounts every month; you didn't know anything about other matters.

As for what happened today, you just say you went to the mine to check the accounts, the villagers suddenly came, and a conflict broke out with Zhao Yugang and his subordinates.

Afterwards, you found out that it was Zhao Yugang who embezzled the miners' wages, which is why this conflict was caused..."

Listening to Cao Jindong's words, Wang Bowen's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his hand, which had been trembling the whole time, suddenly had strength.

"Old Cao, you really are a criminal police officer by background; I'm convinced."

Cao Jindong continued: "Also, when the rare earth passed through the inspection station, besides giving Chen Hancheng 500 yuan per truck, were there any other transactions? You must also explain it clearly to me.

Otherwise, once something happens, if he bites you, and I don't know what's going on, then the trouble will be big."

Thinking of Chen Hancheng, Wang Bowen's expression changed again, and he said somewhat uneasily: "He knows quite a bit about my affairs; I'm afraid..."

Cao Jindong comforted him: "As long as you explain it clearly to me, for the rest, just don't admit it; it was all Zhao Yugang doing things in your name."

Wang Bowen thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "You're right, we must fight for it; perhaps there is still a way to survive. If we don't fight, there is only a dead end."

A treacherous smile hooked the corner of Cao Jindong's mouth, but Wang Bowen didn't see it.

A Santana sedan was driving rapidly on the provincial road to Ganzhou, and sitting in the car was Zhao Baoli.

He had called Liu Jing and had been sitting in his office waiting for the city to contact him.

This matter was too big; once the city had a reaction, it would definitely contact him to ask about the situation.

But after waiting for more than an hour, he didn't wait for a call from the city, but actually waited for a call from Cao Jindong.

When he learned the actual situation, his heart was completely panicked, and the city had been silent the whole time.

He understood that something had gone wrong, and the problem was with Liu Jing.

Because he knew that Liu Jing and other city leaders didn't pee in the same pot.

Especially with Li Xingquan, they were harmonious on the surface but discordant in their hearts.

So at first, when he called Liu Jing, he was a little scared in his heart.

But there was no other way; the city leaders he could contact were all away, so he could only contact Liu Jing.

And he had also thought in his heart that since such a big thing had happened, Liu Jing, as a city leader and the fourth-in-command, would definitely notify other leaders at the first opportunity.

But now it seems that the city has been silent the whole time; it must have been suppressed by Liu Jing, which made him hate him so much that he gritted his teeth.

In his view, this was a matter of shared honor and shared loss; Liu Jing could actually do such a thing that harms others without benefiting himself.

So, without any hesitation, he drove directly to the city, and the car was driven so fast it was almost flying.

He didn't slow down even when encountering ditches and bumps, and the car chassis clattered loudly, almost shaking his bones apart.

It was fortunate that this car was famously sturdy; if it were a Japanese car, it would probably have broken down halfway.

The journey that originally took more than two hours was driven by him in just an hour and a half.

He knew they weren't at the city government, so he went directly to the guesthouse, and as soon as he entered, he asked aggressively.

"Why did no one answer when I called the switchboard?"

The two little girls standing at the switchboard just rolled their eyes and ignored him.

This made Zhao Baoli furious; he had called the guesthouse switchboard more than ten times, and no one answered.

But now was not the time to lose his temper with these employees below, and those who could work at the city guesthouse all had some connections behind them.

"Is your manager here?"

One little girl said unpleasantly: "No!"

Zhao Baoli took a deep breath: "I am Dingnan Deputy County Magistrate Zhao Baoli; I have an important matter to find your general manager, contact him for me immediately."

The little girl looked Zhao Baoli up and down: "Identification!"

Zhao Baoli was so angry he gritted his teeth, took out his identification from his pocket, and threw it on the counter.

The little girl picked it up and just took a look: "Our manager is not here, we can't contact him."

"You!" Zhao Baoli's face turned livid: "I really have an important matter; if it's delayed, none of you will have it good."

The little girl was just about to speak when another little girl pulled her: "Our general manager is really not here, but the deputy manager is; I'll go call him for you."

"Okay!" Zhao Baoli nodded: "Go quickly."

This little girl ran off, and soon, a woman in her forties walked over quickly, extending her hand from afar.

"Oh my, Deputy County Magistrate Zhao, why did you run over today? You didn't even call in advance so I could make arrangements."

Zhao Baoli said in a very aggressive tone: "I called, but no one answered at the switchboard, and no one answered in Old Hou's office. I even called your office, but still no one answered."

The woman was stunned: "When did you call?"

Zhao Baoli said: "An hour and a half ago."

The woman said helplessly: "An hour and a half ago, we were having a meeting. You also know that the investment delegation from Xiangjiang has arrived, and our reception task is very heavy.

For these two days, we have meetings every day, and each one lasts two or three hours. Everyone has to participate, even the cleaners, to ensure that not a single problem occurs."
