Chapter 430

~7 min read 1,392 words

Yuan Zhongjie picked up a cigarette and lit it, then tossed both the lighter and the cigarettes to Feng Xingping, softening his tone as he spoke.

"Comrade Xingping, you are also a veteran of the discipline inspection commission. There are some things I don't need to say much about; you should know what to do."

Yuan Zhongjie brought the ashtray in front of him and flicked the ash.

"We have worked together for so many years; I am very pained that you have run into trouble. The reason I didn't have the investigation team come to you directly, but instead called you to my office,

is firstly to spare your face, and secondly to help you. After all, your problems haven't reached the point of no return yet."

Feng Xingping's hand holding the lighter and the cigarette had been trembling slightly; if one didn't look closely, it wouldn't be noticeable.

The higher-ups were going to move against Gong Jimin; this was something he wouldn't even dare to dream of.

He tried his best to conceal the fear in his heart. After a good while, he controlled his trembling hand, silently lit the cigarette, and puffed away, one drag after another, struggling violently.

Yuan Zhongjie was not in a hurry and waited very patiently.

I don't know how much time passed, but Feng Xingping gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

"Three years ago, in the Wang Xizheng corruption case, his family members, through me, sent Gong Jimin US dollars, a pair of jade bracelets, and a gold necklace..."

Feng Xingping knew what Yuan Zhongjie wanted, or rather, what the higher-ups wanted. Since he had started, he had no more reservations.

"This investigation targeting the Jiangzhou Winery is actually Qin Changzhi wanting to reap the rewards; the goal is the Jiangzhou City Complex project. But to get this project, one must acquire Tenglong Real Estate, now Yuxi Real Estate.

But to take down Yuxi Real Estate, Zhou Andong is the biggest obstacle; he must be eliminated.

And Gong Jimin's participation in this matter was to pave the way for his son. The city complex project is a big piece of fat meat; as long as you touch it, your hands will be covered in oil, and you won't have to worry about food or drink for the rest of your life..."

At first, Feng Xingping would ponder for a moment after saying a few sentences, but later he spoke more and more fluently, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, unable to stop.

Yuan Zhongjie was recording it himself, but in his heart, he was thinking about Gong Jimin; truly, cleverness is undone by cleverness.

If it weren't for him using his son's serious injury as an excuse to stay away from the center of the vortex, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to break through here with Feng Xingping.

It is estimated that this case would have ended with Jiang Huaicheng. Jian Zhengxue and Liao Qingsheng would never have let him continue.

The conversation lasted for about two hours, and Yuan Zhongjie wrote down the materials.

"Sign it!"

Feng Xingping took the pen, signed his name on every page, and finally pressed his thumbprint.

Yuan Zhongjie said: "For these two days, continue to go to work and do what you should do. If Gong Jimin looks for you, don't give yourself away."

"I understand!" Feng Xingping nodded.

"Alright then, you go back."

Yuan Zhongjie tidied up the materials, and after Feng Xingping left, he also left the office.

Liao Qingsheng was looking at a document. Hearing the knock on the door, he shouted without even raising his head.

"Come in!"

Yuan Zhongjie pushed the door open and entered. Seeing Liao Qingsheng reading a document, he walked quietly to the sofa and sat down.

After more than ten minutes, Liao Qingsheng closed the document, looked up, and was very surprised to see it was Yuan Zhongjie.

"So fast!"

Yuan Zhongjie placed the materials on the desk: "Feng Xingping is a veteran of the discipline inspection commission and knows the stakes involved. After I found him, he only struggled for a moment before confessing everything."

Liao Qingsheng opened it, and the more he read, the uglier his expression became. He wanted to suppress the anger in his heart, but he couldn't, and he slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"Shocking, truly shocking. Gong Jimin has actually fallen to such a degree; he deserves no pity."

After finishing, he stood up and walked out: "You go back first, I'm going to No. 1 Courtyard."

Jian Zhengxue saw Liao Qingsheng, whose face was livid, enter the office and said with a smile.

"Looking at your expression, it shouldn't be anything good."

Liao Qingsheng slapped the materials in front of Jian Zhengxue: "Take a look at this. After you finish reading, let's see if you can still laugh."

Jian Zhengxue took one look and indeed couldn't laugh anymore. He stood up and put on his coat: "To avoid complications, I'm going to Jingcheng right now to submit the materials."

Liao Qingsheng asked: "How are you going?"

Jian Zhengxue walked out with the materials: "Driving!"

"…………"

At Beijing Normal University, Zhou Andong had filled his stomach at the cafeteria and was then dragged by Liu Rui and Ma Xiaotong to stroll around the campus for a long time.

They wanted to invite Zhou Andong to watch a movie in the evening, but Zhou Andong refused.

"Two beauties, thank you for your warm hospitality. I'll come find you to play again when I have time."

Liu Rui and Ma Xiaotong were still reluctant: "We'll see you to the main gate."

Jiang Yuyue said with dissatisfaction: "You two have had enough. He's been monopolized by you for the whole afternoon; can you let him be with me for a while?"

Ma Xiaotong giggled: "Alright, alright, for the remaining time, we'll leave him to you."

Jiang Yuyue rolled her eyes and pulled Zhou Andong away.

Zhou Andong also breathed a sigh of relief: "These two roommates of yours are too enthusiastic."

Jiang Yuyue said with a smile: "I think you enjoyed it quite a bit."

Zhou Andong looked back at Ma Xiaotong and Liu Rui, who were chatting and laughing with Tang Lin.

"Enjoyed it? Is your understanding of the word 'enjoy' biased?

You are a university student, and a top student at Beijing Normal University at that. After graduation, you are going to teach and educate people; you mustn't mislead the youth."

"Stop spouting nonsense!" Jiang Yuyue said: "Have you prepared the money?"

"Prepared it." Zhou Andong took a card out of his pocket, "Coming here this time was just to bring you money."

Jiang Yuyue's face blossomed with a smile, and she snatched it away: "Two hundred thousand?"

"Right!" Zhou Andong took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it.

"Password!"

"123456!"

"Today is a good day, the things I wish for can all come true..."

Jiang Yuyue jumped around happily, just like a little child.

"Brother-in-law, are the promotional songs for your winery, 'Cheers Friend' and 'Blue and White Porcelain', written by you?"

Zhou Andong said: "Didn't you see? The lyricist and composer is named Lei Feng."

Jiang Yuyue didn't believe it: "I want the copyright to these two songs."

"That's no problem!" Zhou Andong waved his hand grandly, "Take them and use them."

Jiang Yuyue's mouth curled into a beautiful arc: "That Lei Feng won't come looking for trouble with me, will he?"

Zhou Andong said: "With me around, he wouldn't dare."

Talking, laughing, and joking, they arrived at the main gate, and Zhou Andong and Tang Lin got into the car.

Jiang Yuyue asked: "When are you going back to Jiangzhou?"

Zhou Andong said: "At the end of the month. There are some things at the winery to handle, and I'll come back afterward."

"Got it!" Jiang Yuyue waved her hand, "Go!"

"Cousin!" Ma Xiaotong said: "You must come over to play when you have time."

"Definitely!" Zhou Andong waved his hand with a smile.

Tang Lin started the car: "Going back to the hospital now?"

Zhou Andong said: "Go to the mall. Buy a wheelchair for my old man. When his body is a bit better, I'll push him out for a walk and let him soak up the sun."
