Chapter 189: Cheng Zhanjun's Three Fires

~7 min read 1,321 words

A new official takes three fires, but it had been more than half a year since he took office, and Cheng Zhanjun hadn't burned his first fire yet. Especially his literary image had a strong deceptive quality, making many people think that Cheng Zhanjun was a Confucian official who would absolutely not forcefully burn any three fires.

Therefore, some people began to stir, and even disobeyed Cheng Zhanjun, especially the heads of various departments. At the beginning, they were still disciplined, but now they didn't put him in their eyes at all.

Cheng Zhanjun held a teacup and stood by the office window, a faint smile appearing on his face: "You kid, you really are my lucky star. I was just getting sleepy, and you handed me a pillow.

This time, not only will I bite a piece of meat off the Tong family, but I will also scrape the bones and heal the wounds for Jiangzhou, cleaning up all the toxic tumors that suck the blood of the common people."

"Slurp!" Cheng Zhanjun took a sip of hot tea, "However, whether all this can be realized depends on your kid's ability."

At the detention center, Yan Shi, this idiot, had been holding on, waiting for his Brother Long to save him.

Just last night, he finally saw the Brother Long he had been thinking about, but it was different from what he thought—he was also wearing a prison uniform and then lived in the same big room as him.

What made him even more unable to accept was that as soon as he said hello, he was scolded by Zhao Jianlong, and he didn't sleep well all night, shrinking in the corner and looking at Zhao Jianlong with grievance.

There were sixteen people living in the cell, with two large *kang* beds in the north and south, eight on each side. At night, there were people snoring, talking in their sleep, grinding their teeth, and farting. This night was truly a torture for Zhao Jianlong.

In the morning, Zhao Jianlong got up with dark circles under his eyes, and someone brought new toothbrushes and towels. This bunch of guys were almost all locals, and no one didn't know Zhao Jianlong's name, and no one thought that Zhao Jianlong would stay here for too long. If they didn't take advantage of this rare opportunity to flatter him, they wouldn't be able to see him in the future.

After washing up and eating breakfast, not long after returning to the cell, the iron door was opened with a *clatter*, and a guard appeared at the door: "Zhao Jianlong, come out, someone wants to see you."

Zhao Jianlong was stunned, stood up and came to the door, and the guard put handcuffs on him with a *click*: "Let's go!"

In the meeting room, because Dai Hongwei had greeted them, the guard sent Zhao Jianlong into the meeting room and went out.

After Zhao Jianlong entered, seeing it was Zhou Andong, his face turned gloomy, and he said through gritted teeth: "What are you here for?"

Zhou Andong grinned: "To save you."

"Save me?" Zhao Jianlong sneered, "Do you think I will believe you?"

Zhou Andong shrugged: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. You just need to understand that you are doomed this time, and I am the only one who can let you escape death."

Zhao Jianlong looked at Zhou Andong coldly. If eyes could kill, Zhou Andong would have turned into ashes by now.

"Don't look at me with those eyes." Zhou Andong said: "Actually, Huo Xing has already run away with the money, and there is only more than one million left in your company account."

"Impossible!" Zhao Jianlong roared.

"Bang!" The guard pushed the door open abruptly, "What's going on?"

Zhou Andong waved his hand with a smile: "It's okay, something happened, President Zhao couldn't accept it, and his emotions were a bit unstable. I'll persuade him and it will be fine."

The guard said to Zhao Jianlong: "Talk properly, don't shout."

Zhao Jianlong gritted his teeth and said in a suppressed voice: "Don't lie to me. Huo Xing is my best brother, he absolutely couldn't have run away with the money."

Zhou Andong smiled: "In this world, even children raised by oneself might be fake, so what is impossible? And when they interrogate you, the police will definitely tell you, and then you will know whether I lied to you or not."

"So what?" Zhao Jianlong still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. The Bodhisattvas he had worshipped for so many years weren't worshipped in vain and would definitely exert their power.

Zhou Andong continued: "We didn't have any deep hatred, why make it a life-and-death situation, right?"

Zhao Jianlong stared at Zhou Andong. After ten seconds, he closed his eyes and ignored Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong didn't care: "And don't hope that the Bodhisattvas you worship can save you, because they are already unable to save themselves."

Zhao Jianlong opened his eyes abruptly: "What do you mean?"

"Literal meaning." Zhou Andong said: "Do you think that if they took something they shouldn't have, they can sit in that position forever? This time, a big shot wants to use your case to operate on them."

Zhao Jianlong's face turned pale, without a drop of blood. If what Zhou Andong said was true, he really had no way out.

But Zhou Andong was too cunning, and he didn't quite believe it, but he had to compromise, because cooperating with Zhou Andong was his only chance to escape death.

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Jianlong. This time Zhao Jianlong didn't refuse, and then Zhou Andong lit it for him, and then lit one for himself.

"I can acquire your Tenglong company, including that piece of land, plus your personal assets. Repaying the loan should not be a big problem, and your life will naturally be saved."

Zhao Jianlong was moved and asked: "State your conditions."

Zhou Andong said: "In the fake liquor case, Tong Huaiyu is the mastermind. As long as you bite him out, it will be fine."

Hearing the name Tong Huaiyu, Zhao Jianlong looked at Zhou Andong with some disbelief: "You know Tong Huaiyu?"

Zhou Andong said: "If I didn't even know who the opponent was, the one wearing handcuffs now should be me."

Zhao Jianlong suddenly laughed: "It seems I really underestimated you. It's just that letting me bite out Tong Huaiyu is equivalent to admitting that the fake liquor case is related to me. Isn't that also a dead end?"

Zhou Andong said: "You don't know Tong Huaiyu's true background yet, so I'll tell you, he is Tong Zheng's grandson."

"Tong Zheng?" Zhao Jianlong frowned, "Who is that?"

Zhou Andong shook his head helplessly: "Haven't you seen him in the news and newspapers?"

When he said this, Zhao Jianlong widened his eyes: "You mean, that Tong Zheng?"

"Of course!" Zhou Andong said: "Who do you think I'm talking about? So, as long as you bite Tong Huaiyu and sit him down as the mastermind of the fake liquor case, the Tong family will definitely intervene."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong took a drag of his cigarette: "With the Tong family intervening, Tong Huaiyu, the mastermind, will naturally be fine. How could you, an accomplice, be sentenced heavily?"

Zhao Jianlong was moved, but he was really afraid that Zhou Andong was lying to him: "Since you know that biting out Tong Huaiyu won't hurt him at all, why are you putting in so much effort?"

"Do you know what the relationship between me and Tong Huaiyu is?" Before Zhao Jianlong could ask, Zhou Andong said coldly: "We are rivals in love. So, if I can't kill him, I have to disgust him to death, otherwise I can't get this breath out." ===== CHAPTER 190 =====
