Chapter 43: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
The river breeze is gentle, but it cannot blow away the people's sorrows. No matter how chaotic the world is or how bad life is, what should continue must continue. As night falls, dim lights are on, and various snack stalls are like two long red dragons, covering the banks of the Yangtze River.
This city has just rested for a while and started to get busy again.
At a food stall, in an inconspicuous corner, a middle-aged man was sitting. He was dressed in casual clothes and his face was plain. In front of him, there were a few barbecue skewers on the table and a bottle of beer.
Although he was dressed casually, it could be seen from the invisible that this was a person who had been in a high position for a long time. If you look closely, this person is somewhat similar to Wang Wen.
He was Wang Wen's elder brother, Wang Lin, who had just escaped from the mental sanitation home. He was waiting for someone, but after a long time, no one came, he couldn't help but frown.
Just then, a young man came to the door of the stall, glanced in, and finally his eyes fell on Wang Lin. Qing Young smiled and walked towards Wang Lin's position without any haste, and sat down opposite him.
"I didn't expect that a department-level cadre would meet a little person like me who was unknown. What I didn't expect was that Wang Lin, wouldn't you be afraid of being too many people?" The young man said as soon as he sat down.
"The barbecue stalls can't talk about things? This kind of place is much safer than those high-end hotels and teahouses. At least there is no monitor, let alone worry about the partition walls!" Wang Lin paused and stared at the young man opposite, "It's you, Wu Zhiyuan, if you dare to come alone, aren't you afraid that I will set up a trap to kill you?"
"Why don't I dare?" Wu Zhiyuan faced his gaze and his eyes became sharper. "If you really want to kill me, the distance we are now is only ten feet away. I promise that I will kill you before others kill me!"
"So brave!" Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and chuckled.
"How did you know my cell phone number?"
"You have called your friend with this mobile phone number, and you have forgotten it?"
"On the side of the water!" Wu Zhiyuan murmured, and couldn't help but think of Huang Li, and was silent for a moment, waved his hand, "No need to say more nonsense. If you ask me to come, what's the matter? Tell me!"
"I want to cooperate with you and deal with Chen Shengtian together!" Wang Lin said straight to the point.
Wu Zhiyuan did not answer immediately, but turned around and shouted: "Boss, come two bottles of beer and a plate of stir-fry screws! It's spicy!"
It was not until the food and drinks were served on the table that Wu Zhiyuan picked up a bottle of beer and took a sip, and then he spoke slowly: "I don't know what we can cooperate with, why should I cooperate with you? It is important to know that I have had conflicts with Wang Zhengyou!"
Wang Lin narrowed his eyes and then let go, saying, "It's because of this that Chen Shengtian would never have thought that we would conspire to deal with him together! More importantly, he has what I want and what you want. Our goals are the same, which is the basis for our cooperation!"
"Oh? How did you know that Chen Shengtian has what I want?" Wu Zhiyuan seemed to be interested in it all at once.
Wang Lin shook his head slightly and said, "If you don't say secret words, are you here to travel to Yucheng? I know Liu Fang!"
"What?" Wu Zhiyuan was really surprised this time.
"Not only do I know her, I also know that it was her and a man named Li Feng who took Chen Xi away from Wang Wen. She also told me where Chen Xi was locked up and are you interested in cooperating now?" Wang Lin laughed.
"Tell me! How to cooperate?" Wu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.
Wang Lin picked up the chopsticks, picked up a screw, started to carelessly, and spoke slowly: "Before cooperation, I want to make sure something first!"
"What's the matter?" Wu Zhiyuan's eyes flashed. When he heard the news about Chen Xi, he was very excited, but his face remained unchanged.
"I want to know if Xue'er was killed by you!" Wang Lin said word by word.
"No!" Wu Zhiyuan shook his head. To be honest, Mei Xueer was indeed not killed by him.
"Are you sure?"
"Since you can get news from Liu Fang about Chen Xi, hasn't he told you who killed Mei Xueer?" Wu Zhiyuan asked back.
"She said that Chen Shengtian killed Xueer and the other two, but I couldn't trust her. I thought she was using me to help her deal with Chen Shengtian!" Wang Lin said, filling himself with a glass of wine and drinking it all in one go.
"Do you just believe me?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at him with a smile.
Wang Lin smiled but said nothing.
"This is strange. I have seen Liu Fang, who has been following Chen Shengtian, why did he turn around to deal with Chen Shengtian?" Wu Zhiyuan asked.
"Because of this period of time, Chen Shengtian has been busy going public and has always wanted to whitewash himself. Liu Fang knows her situation well. She knows that Chen Shengtian has too many things. Some things are the more dangerous they know. If she wants to run away, she conspires with me to steal a sum of money from Chen Shengtian." Wang Lin admitted frankly without any scruples.
"Then why are you looking for me?" Wu Zhiyuan's eyes became deeper.
"Because Liu Fang is dead!" Wang Lin poured himself a glass of wine again and drank it all in one sip. "If you want to find Chen Xi, you must cooperate with me! Although I am a little down and out now, I have been in politics for many years and still have some connections. Otherwise, how would I know that Liu Fang is dead? I can provide you with information!"
"Then what do you need me to do?" Wu Zhiyuan leaned against the chair and said lazily.
"I want Chen Shengtian to pay for his blood debt!" Wang Lin gritted his teeth, and his face suddenly became gloomy. "Xue'er can't die in vain, my son's friend can't die in vain! Although Wang Wen is a bastard, he is my brother and cannot die in vain!"
"There are so many women in the world, why do you fall in love with a brother's woman?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at him deeply and thought to himself.
"You are unfair!" Wu Zhiyuan opened a bottle of beer again, took a sip, and then said solemnly, "You are treating me as a gun. I just want to save people, but you want me to kill people. Our vested interests are not equal. How to talk about cooperation? I am fighting with Chen Shengtian, but you are hiding in the dark and watching the fun with ease. This is not good!"
"Haha!" Wang Lin sneered, "I respect you and think you are good at it, so I sincerely come to you to cooperate with you. But you always beat around the bush, and the vested interests are not equal? I know how important Chen Xi is to you, and I know better. If you find her one day later, she will be more dangerous. And I, a gentleman, is not too late for ten years, and I can slowly deal with Chen Shengtian. Who has the more urgent needs?"
"Don't forget that you are a fugitive now!" Wu Zhiyuan sneered, "You colluded with Liu Fang to steal Chen Shengtian's money. She wanted to run away. Don't you want to? Why don't you run away without money? You come to Yucheng not just to take revenge, but more importantly, you are relying on your relationship and want to fly far away! Where can you fly? Of course, it's abroad. A political prisoner like you no longer has your place in China!"
"So, are you unwilling to talk?" Wang Lin fluttered, stood up, and stared at Wu Zhiyuan.
"It's not impossible to talk about it!" Wu Zhiyuan said lightly, "But, the money you stolen from Chen Shengtian will score half of me. After the matter is done, not only will you run away, but I will do it too!"
"It's such a big lion!" Wang Lin's face was gloomy, "Since you know that I have a connection to help me escape abroad, you should also know that I naturally have the ability to tamper with someone in the exchange to prevent Shengtian Group from going public! All of this requires money!"
"What does it have to do with me whether he goes public or not?"
"I don't care? If he goes public, with Chen Shengtian's personality, he will clean up all the stains, including your cute girl Chen Xi! Do you think he will keep a * by his side after he succeeds?" Wang Lin said meaningfully, "And what, what do you think he will do to capture Chen Xi? I heard that the girl looks charming and sex trading is Chen Shengtian's usual trick. You should know what this means!"
"Are you coming to talk to me with sincerity?" Wu Zhiyuan also stood up and shouted in a low voice.
After a while of silence, Wang Lin suddenly laughed: "You can give the money to you, but not half, but one tenth, one million, that's sincere enough!"
"Okay!" Wu Zhiyuan thought for a while and nodded, "Then we decided on the specific details. Let's talk about them a little later. You have to tell me where Chen Xi is locked up?"
"There is an artificial lake in the eastern suburbs ten kilometers away from Yucheng. You will know it once you go, but I have to declare first that the news comes from Liu Fang. I am not sure if the girl is there, and you can do it yourself." Wang Lin blurted out, he knew that Wu Zhiyuan would ask sooner or later.
Wu Zhiyuan nodded and stopped talking.
"I'll send the money here when I'm talking about it in detail another day!" Wang Lin stretched out his right hand and smiled, "Happy cooperation!"
“Happy cooperation!”
After Wu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he hurriedly left. At this moment, his mind was full of Chen Xi's shadow. He knew that cooperating with Wang Lin was tantamount to seeking a slut with a tiger. He just didn't want to bargain with Wang Lin, he wanted to test the depth of this person. However, this person was cunning and he couldn't test anything. He was not sure whether Chen Xi's news was true, but even if it was a trap, even if it was a dragon's and tiger's den, he had to go! Wang Lin said right, the longer the time delayed, the more dangerous Chen Xi! Wu Zhiyuan had no choice.
However, as soon as he walked to the door of the stall, his phone vibrated, he stopped, turned on his phone, and there was a text message:
"There are always a variety of things in the world. Maybe you have a deep understanding of the cruelty of life. Maybe you have never been treated well by fate, but you must choose kindness. Please treat this world gently.
Yuan'er, you must remember that no matter what you have done, never lose yourself! Take good care of yourself outside, your father and I will wait for you to take Xiaoxi home together! Take care of us!"
This is a message sent by Yang Qianmei. Wu Zhiyuan knew that she was worried about herself.
"Don't worry, Aunt Mei, I will definitely take Xiaoxi home!" Wu Zhiyuan clenched his fists, "Is it the eastern suburbs of Yucheng? Xiaoxi, wait for me! I'll pick you up home!"
Wu Zhiyuan raised his chest, like a lonely wolf, his tall figure flashed before Wang Lin's eyes and disappeared into the vast night...
