Chapter 149 Giving Up in the End
"You..." Cai Zhengjie pressed his hand to his chest, his heart aching with anger: "You're so vicious!"
Chen Wei chuckled coldly, sat back down opposite him, took out a cigarette, lit it, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke that shot straight towards Cai Zhengjie across the table.
"I'm poisonous?"
Ha ha……
We're the same, okay?
Uncle.
I remember you saying that the path to officialdom is a mix of flowers and thorns.
Instead of making him an official, you should make him a teacher.
But do you know what he really wants is to be an official? He wants to be a high-ranking official like you.
But you are selfish, you are weak.
You were afraid that Cai Lei wouldn't be up to the task, afraid that something would happen to him, and worried that he would bring trouble to you, so you stifled his dream.
You suppress him at every turn, you kill his spirit, you are more ruthless than me.
So, we're the same.
You can't blame me.
Accept reality.
Either you lose your son, your family, and the reputation you've carefully cultivated;
"Or, listen to me and cooperate with our family. From now on, we'll be the ones calling the shots in Meihua City—your son can continue being a teacher, and no one will know what he did in the past."
Struggle is not a dinner party.
It has always been a matter of drawing blood.
Either you die or I die.
Cai Zhengjie realized this long ago, so he always played the role of a nice guy.
In the past, Chen Tiecai had been very cautious, planting his cronies in various departments. He realized that Chen Tiecai would definitely cause trouble in the future.
He thought that as long as he didn't make an enemy of him, he could leave safely, and once his term was up, he could just pack up and leave, finally landing peacefully in the position of municipal party secretary.
Unexpectedly, the changing situation in the remote town of Yuanshan County led to turmoil in the political arena of Meihua City.
The personnel of Yuanshan County have long been deeply intertwined with various relationships in Meihua City.
Because of Dawei's rise to power, a storm was brewing. In order to prevent the ship from sinking, Chen Tiecai eventually turned the tables on Cai Zhengjie and forcibly dragged him onto the ship.
At this moment, Cai Zhengjie felt immense regret.
We should have been tougher from the start, confronted Chen Tiecai head-on, and brought him under control.
His amiable nature and his role as a nice guy not only harmed the ecology of Meihua City, but also backfired on his own family.
The Chen family has come knocking on our door.
"You make it sound so easy. How can you guarantee that Cai Lei's actions won't be discovered?"
By asking this question, Tsai Cheng-chieh had already made his choice.
He began to consider the risks and benefits of cooperating with the Chen family.
"Even if we find out, no one dares to say a word. If anyone does, I'll kill them."
Chen Wei said calmly.
Cai Zhengjie frowned slightly, gleaning a lot of information from the other person's words.
First of all, Chen Wei is capable of killing.
Secondly, the mastermind behind the attack on Chen Dawei is likely Chen Wei himself.
Finally, there was a threatening undertone in Chen Wei's words: if he could kill others, he could kill Cai Zhengjie's family as well.
See the picture poorly.
"Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the provincial authorities?"
Do you really think no one can control you?
Threatening a municipal party secretary and harming my family—you've got some nerve!
Chen Wei suddenly burst into wild laughter.
"Fortune favors the bold, old man."
Cai Zhengjie was speechless, but Chen Wei was determined to go all out.
To give up entirely.
An attitude of "if we're going to die, we'll all die together."
The two men have completely different ways of thinking, and he doesn't think he can educate Chen Wei and make him turn over a new leaf.
Cai Zhengjie waved his hand, telling Chen Wei to leave quickly, as he didn't want to see him.
"No rush, I have something else to do. I'll leave as soon as we're done talking."
"Speak quickly if you have something to say."
Chen Wei began to make his move.
He went to great lengths to frame Cai Lei, all to force Cai Zhengjie to comply.
Now that the objective has been achieved, it's natural to have Cai Zhengjie do something.
Otherwise, all the previous work would have been wasted.
"Call the deputy head of the investigation team in Yuanshan County and tell him to close the case as soon as possible and stop pursuing Lin Wangyou relentlessly."
I heard that Lin Wangyou has taken the blame for framing Qiao Yong.
He even admitted to being tortured and forced to confess to Chen Dawei.
He is a responsible comrade.
The head of the investigation team, Lao Zhao, mentioned to the city several times that he was preparing to close the case.
The deputy team leader is your person, and the deputy team leader insists on continuing the investigation.
What else do you want to investigate?
Do we really have to tear down the sky in Meihua City?
Lin Wangyou has confessed and accepted punishment.
What else do you want?
That's enough, bring the people back.
This investigation team was established at the initiative of Cai Zhengjie. At the time, Lin Wangyou's case was making headlines and was receiving high attention from the province.
I had hoped to take this opportunity to see if I could change the landscape of Yuanshan County.
Now, we have no choice but to stop.
"I see."
Cai Zhengjie gave in, and Chen Wei picked up a lighter and cigarettes and left with a flourish.
……
Yuanshan County Party Committee Guesthouse.
The deputy head of the investigation team took the initiative to find Lao Zhao, the head of the investigation team.
After discussing it, the two decided to end their investigation into Lin Wangyou.
The two agreed to go see County Party Secretary Zhou Xiangzhang together the next day to discuss the matter, and then they could return to the city to report to the Municipal Party Committee.
at this time.
After the deputy team leader left.
Old Zhao arrived alone at the door of Lin Wangyou's room.
With a single glance, he dismissed the investigation team members on duty at the door, then opened the door and entered Lin Wangyou's room.
There was also a comrade on duty inside the room, watching Lin Wangyou closely.
"Team Leader Zhao."
"Okay, you can go out now."
The person on duty inside also went out.
This was against regulations; during the investigation, Lin Wangyou was not allowed to contact people alone.
Now that the team leader and deputy team leader have reached an understanding, and Cai Zhengjie and Chen Tiecai have also reached a reconciliation, it will be much easier for them, the executors, to communicate.
With just one sentence from Team Leader Zhao, the rules ceased to exist.
When Lin Wangyou saw Team Leader Zhao's calm yet slightly relaxed face, his heart tightened, realizing that his final moments were approaching.
"Boss..." He tried to sit up in bed, but it was difficult; he had been disciplined quite a bit these past few days.
Team Leader Zhao sat down with a smile and placed his hand on Lin Wangyou's shoulder.
"Old Lin, just lie down and relax."
I'm here to deliver a message to you.
Your case will be closed tomorrow.
The investigation team will not interrogate you anymore.
Next, the case will be transferred to the procuratorate, and then we will wait for the public prosecution hearing.
Your actions don't warrant execution.
Try to get leniency if you show a good attitude in admitting your guilt.
As is customary, courts tend to show some consideration for officials when sentencing them.
The mayor will also help you smooth things over, don't worry.
The sword hanging over his head was finally about to fall, but Lin Wangyou felt no relief, only endless disappointment.
In the end, he shouldered it all.
Deep down, I felt somewhat resentful.
"Could you arrange for me to meet my family?"
"It's definitely not possible now. After the verdict is handed down and the person is in prison, then you can see them."
"But I want to see him."
He needed to make sure that his family was safe and sound, and that Zhou Xiangzhang had kept his promise and taken good care of his family.
