Chapter 499: Improper Transaction

Under a cloudless sky,

a black sedan drove into a clubhouse.

Stepping out, Zhang Cheng, wearing a suit, couldn't help but loosen his tie and say, "Is it necessary to be this serious, Ma Xidao?"

"I'm sorry, Prosecutor. This person really is my senior, so I wanted to ask you to give him a chance!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Ma Xidao couldn't help but explain.

Hearing Ma Xidao say this, Zhang Cheng also asked curiously, "Does he have no 'roots' and no 'foundation'?"

"Yes, Prosecutor!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ma Xidao hurriedly nodded.

Because what Zhang Cheng said meant that the other party was neither a graduate of a prestigious school nor someone with a background.

"Hahaha, since it's your first time asking me for a favor, of course I'll help you!"

Patting Ma Xidao on the shoulder, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Walking into the clubhouse, Zhang Cheng saw at a glance that the other party had clearly put in effort.

However, Zhang Cheng was very tolerant toward "his own people"; even if they had no money or power, he was willing to support them!

"Hello, Prosecutor Zhang, I am Cui Zheji!"

Standing up, Cui Zheji hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands.

【Improper Transaction!】

Looking at Cui Zheji before him, Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Sit down first. Since you are Xidao's senior, you are naturally one of us. I don't know what favor you want me to do this time?"

Looking at Cui Zheji, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"Ma Xidao, could you go out for a moment?"

Looking at Ma Xidao beside him, Cui Zheji couldn't help but feel bitter.

"No problem, Senior, I'll go out and see if the food is ready!"

Understanding Cui Zheji's words, Ma Xidao turned and left.

However, at the moment he looked back, Ma Xidao looked at Zhang Cheng, bowed, and said, "I'm troubling you, Prosecutor!"

"It's no trouble, we're all our own people!"

Speaking with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng looked at Cui Zheji and said, "Speak!"

"That... do you know Prosecutor Zhu Yang?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Cui Zheji couldn't help but speak up.

"You're talking about that recent case, right?"

Looking at Cui Zheji, Zhang Cheng's mind immediately recalled the recent events.

"That's right, that case. However, it seems I've had some conflicts with Prosecutor Zhu Yang!"

Speaking obscurely, Cui Zheji stepped forward, picked up a wine glass, and helped Zhang Cheng pour wine.

Because he knew that the conflict between him and Zhu Yang was irreconcilable.

Moreover, Zhang Xijiu, who had been holding his weakness, was also a big trouble he needed to solve.

Back when he learned that Ma Xidao had entered the Prosecutor's Office, Cui Zheji had always been envious; after all, his luck was too good.

Even if he became a police officer again in the future, Ma Xidao would be able to go further and faster than others, the reason being that he had a "foundation" behind him!

"I remember that case was already solved, wasn't it?"

Looking at Cui Zheji, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but inquire.

"There's a small problem currently, which is that Prosecutor Zhu Yang doesn't intend to sign the indictment!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Cui Zheji explained.

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng also understood where the problem lay.

It was likely that Cui Zheji had moved one of Zhu Yang's people and was now being throttled by the other party.

However, Cui Zheji was also smart; he didn't beg Zhu Yang for mercy, otherwise, he would have become a hunting dog on a leash!

This case was caused by the "bullying" of a young girl; after all, there had been too many similar cases, and the public was outraged, so they had to find a way to deal with it.

Cui Zheji, who had no roots and no foundation, became the best pawn.

However, they never expected that Cui Zheji, as an old criminal investigator, would actually catch the real culprit while looking for an "actor."

That was Dong Shi, whom they had treated as an "actor"!

But the problem was that Zhang Xijiu used this to threaten Cui Zheji, wanting him to find a way to help him deal with his competitor, Chairman Jin.

And who was the person behind Chairman Jin? It was Zhu Yang!

That was how the conflict between the two sides arose!

Listening to Cui Zheji's explanation, Zhang Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, I'll make a call for you!"

Taking out his phone, Zhang Cheng turned on the speakerphone.

Before long, after a familiar voice came through the phone, Cui Zheji was dumbfounded, because wasn't this Zhu Yang?

"Hello, Zhu Yang, where are you?" Speaking calmly, Zhang Cheng inquired.

"Senior? I'm at home. Is something the matter?"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Zhu Yang became curious.

"Come over here. I'm out drinking, and I'll help you meet a new friend while I'm at it!"

Speaking with a smile, Zhang Cheng picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it in one gulp.

"Okay, Senior, I'll be right there!"

Hanging up the phone, Zhu Yang couldn't help but frown, because he and Zhang Cheng didn't seem to have any dealings.

However, it was precisely because of this that Zhu Yang had to go.

Because his father-in-law, who was a chaebol, was a person in the Far East Group's camp!

After all, one could offend anyone, but one couldn't offend one's superiors; Zhu Yang was very clear about that!

After telling his wife, Zhu Yang left and called his father-in-law on the way.

Upon learning that his son-in-law was going to see Zhang Cheng, the father-in-law warned, "Chairman Zhang's temper isn't very good, you must not provoke him, understand?"

"Yes, Father, I understand!"

Hearing his father-in-law's words, Zhu Yang nodded very obediently.

Half an hour later, Zhu Yang arrived at the clubhouse.

When he pushed open the door, he was dumbfounded, because Cui Zheji was sitting right there.

Seeing Zhu Yang arrive, Cui Zheji was also somewhat surprised.

Because he hadn't expected Zhu Yang to really come, and he had arrived within half an hour.

"Come, sit!"

Signaling to the seat beside him, Zhang Cheng looked at Zhu Yang.

"Yes, Senior!"

Obediently coming to Zhang Cheng's side, Zhu Yang looked at Cui Zheji and said, "I really didn't expect that we were all our own people, Officer Cui!"

"Yes, Prosecutor Zhu!"

Hearing Zhu Yang say this as soon as he opened his mouth, Cui Zheji immediately understood that the other party wanted to be on good terms with him.

Looking at someone who had looked down on him so much in the past, now speaking like this, Cui Zheji felt as if he had drunk a bottle of iced black tea in the scorching summer!

"I don't care what conflicts you had in the past, but from now on, you can stop, understand?"

Looking at the two with a smile, Zhang Cheng picked up the wine pot on the table and said, "No problem, right?"

"No problem, Senior!" Zhu Yang!

"Yes, Prosecutor Zhang!" Cui Zheji!

Helping the two pour wine, Zhang Cheng continued, "I remember the culprit is Dong Shi, right? You sign the indictment, and that guy is the real culprit!"

"What? Senior!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Zhu Yang couldn't help but be surprised.

"I've read the case file; that guy is indeed the real culprit. We just need to wait for the inspection report to come out. Even if he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, the mistakes he made will never disappear!"

Looking at the two seriously, Zhang Cheng's words undoubtedly confirmed something.

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Cui Zheji was stunned on the spot.

Because he hadn't expected Zhang Cheng's influence to be so powerful, capable of overturning everything!

Zhang Cheng: Can I tell you that I've seen the movie?

Cui Zheji:

"By the way, handle the Zhang Xijiu matter. He actually threatened our colleague so blatantly!"

Patting Zhu Yang on the shoulder, Zhang Cheng was undoubtedly giving both sides a way out.

And just as Zhu Yang nodded in agreement, Zhang Cheng said, "If there's anything inconvenient for Cui Zheji, ask Chairman Jin to help take care of it, understand?"

"Okay, Senior, I understand!"

Nodding, Zhu Yang hurriedly became serious.
