Chapter 1197: A Sordid Past!

Chai Zhenkun glared at Li Wenbo with some impatience!

"Stop beating around the bush!

If you have something to say, say it; if you have something to get off your chest, just do it!"

Li Wenbo rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly: "Tang Ye's biggest backer is the new Mayor, Jiang Jing. So, if you want to deal with Tang Ye, you have to start with Jiang Jing!"

Chai Zhenkun questioned him, "I already told you to research whether Jiang Jing had any weaknesses. Why has there been no movement?"

Li Wenbo scratched his head in embarrassment,

"I originally wanted to start with Jiang Jing's brother-in-law. I arranged for a private investigator to follow him for several months and discovered that although this person is very active, he acts with discretion, and the businesses he operates are clean.

He is skilled at leveraging influence and has never let Jiang Jing participate in his own business.

By borrowing the tiger's might, he has obtained many resources..."

Chai Zhenkun said unhappily, "Don't provide so much buildup, get to the point. I want a way to break the deadlock."

Li Wenbo said in a low voice, "When I was investigating him, I discovered that Jiang Jing's current wife has an unknown past."

A look of curiosity appeared in Chai Zhenkun's eyes, "What kind of past?"

Li Wenbo took an envelope out of his briefcase and pulled out some photographs.

Chai Zhenkun took the photos, looked at them for a few moments, and was somewhat surprised, "The woman in these photos is Jiang Jing's current wife; who is the man?"

Li Wenbo said, "The man's name is Chen Xiaoyu, and he is Xie Yina's ex-boyfriend.

Xie Yina knew him when she was in college, and the two dated for several years.

Chen Xiaoyu's father was a civil servant who was arrested a few years ago due to financial problems.

His mother developed depression because of this.

Chen Xiaoyu is currently an unemployed drifter.

Some time ago, Chen Xiaoyu went to Xie Kai's company and was kicked out.

I hired a private investigator to find him.

He produced these photos..."

Chai Zhenkun studied the photos carefully, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth,

"Mayor Jiang has good taste; his little wife has a great figure, fair skin and beauty, and very long legs.

I wonder if he knows that his little wife actually has such a sordid past."

The photos were intimate shots of Chen Xiaoyu and Xie Yina.

In several of the photos, Xie Yina was wearing only a white shirt.

Her skin was faintly visible beneath the thin, translucent clothing.

These photos, placed in 2009, were quite explicit.

"Are these all the photos?" Chai Zhenkun seemed somewhat unsatisfied.

"There are more than just these photos; he claims to have many more private ones. He is very cunning and doesn't intend to hand them all over at once," Li Wenbo explained.

Chai Zhenkun nodded slightly, "Although this kid is a loser, he isn't stupid.

He understands that these photos are the foundation for his comeback.

He wants to use these photos to blackmail Xie Yina into supporting him for the rest of his life."

Li Wenbo nodded, "The Chairman's analysis of human nature is truly thorough!"

Chai Zhenkun was thoughtful, "Are you planning to use Chen Xiaoyu to make a move?"

Li Wenbo nodded slightly, "Chen Xiaoyu is a gambling addict and a drug user who owes a mountain of debt. As long as you use someone like this well, there is nothing they wouldn't dare to do."

Chai Zhenkun approved of Li Wenbo's judgment, "Those who have nothing to lose don't fear those who do. Once a person touches drugs, they have no bottom line. This person can be put to good use. It is worth planning."

A cold glint flashed in Li Wenbo's eyes, "My plan is this: give Chen Xiaoyu some benefits and train him to be an obedient dog. That way, even if the person on the other side is the Mayor, he will pounce without hesitation!"

Chai Zhenkun nodded, "Go and arrange it quickly. If you don't act, fine, but once you decide to strike, it must be ruthless. I want those who oppose me to know what kind of painful price they must pay."

Chai Zhenkun had been trying to whitewash himself for these past few years!

However, this last sentence revealed his true colors.

A ferocity and ruthlessness forged from struggling up from the bottom!!!

Chen Xiaoyu had been staying at a very remote hotel in Xiyang City for several days.

Because he had borrowed from loan sharks, his debt was snowballing.

The debt of two hundred thousand was crushing him, making it hard to breathe.

Unable to pay back the money, he could only hide here and there.

If he hadn't been driven to a dead end, Chen Xiaoyu would never have come to find his ex-girlfriend's brother to help him out of his predicament.

A few days ago, a private investigator found him and indicated that someone was willing to help him, but he needed to provide proof of his relationship with Xie Yina.

Chen Xiaoyu sold some photos to this private investigator.

Chen Xiaoyu knew his behavior was filthy and despicable, but he had no other choice.

Who told Xie Kai to show no regard for their past relationship and kick him out?

Only with money could he survive!

Once the drug addiction flared up, the feeling was worse than death.

Although the private investigator didn't say why he wanted to buy the photos, Chen Xiaoyu knew the person behind it was definitely targeting Xie Yina's husband.

His cell phone rang; Chen Xiaoyu glanced at the number—it was the private investigator calling.

Chen Xiaoyu felt a surge of joy; the other party taking the initiative to find him meant they definitely wanted to obtain more clues.

This way, he could have another source of income.

"Mr. Chen, are you still in Xiyang City?"

"Yes, I am in Xiyang City. Do you still need photos? I have ones that are even more explicit in my hands."

"If you have more photos, I can certainly purchase them at a high price. My employer wants to meet you and have a chat. Where are you? We will come find you."

Chen Xiaoyu was very cunning and would not tell the other party his hiding place.

"How about this, let's meet at the Wutong Tree Cafe in People's Square!"

"Alright, see you there!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaoyu took a few photos out of his bag, stuffed them into an envelope, and then tucked it into his pocket.

Half an hour later, Chen Xiaoyu appeared at People's Square wearing a peaked cap.

Thirty or forty meters away from the cafe, he had a bad premonition and hurriedly turned around to run toward the road.

At this moment, several people rushed out from the front, back, left, and right, surrounding Chen Xiaoyu.

Chen Xiaoyu prepared to resist, but he could not withstand the number of people and was pinned to the ground.

The surrounding crowd was so scared they only dared to stand in the distance and point fingers...

Chen Xiaoyu was shoved into a van, and immediately afterward, someone put a hood over his head.

About half an hour later, he was brought into a factory building; the hood was removed, and he finally saw the people around him clearly.

"Ma Laoda!!!"

Chen Xiaoyu had not expected that his usury creditor had chased him all the way from Hanzhou.

Standing beside Ma Laoda were several people.

One of them was the private investigator he had dealt with.

"You actually betrayed me!"

Chen Xiaoyu panicked at this moment; he realized the private investigator and the creditor were in cahoots.

He had been set up!

Ma Laoda's face was filled with anger; he walked straight toward Chen Xiaoyu, grabbed his hair, and pressed his face into the ground.

"You're pretty good at running, aren't you!"

"Running from Hanzhou all the way to Xiyang!"

"Damn it, you dare not pay back the money you owe me."

"You didn't even bother to ask around who I am!"

"If you can't pay back the money today, I'll chop off one of your hands!"
