Chapter 222 [Unfortunate]

Zhang Yang's words contain a very obvious threatening meaning. Of course, Zhou Shuisheng could hear that he was sure that he would be fine. Zhang Yang wanted to eat bad things and wanted to swallow his royal holiday. Zhou Shui was so angry that he almost threw his cup away, but he didn't dare, and finally suppressed his anger. He was not afraid of Zhang Yang. What he was afraid of was Andyon behind Zhang Yang. If Andyon really wanted to deal with him, let alone the palace holiday in mainland China, he might not be able to save all his business in Taiwan. Thinking about his family's lives and the days ahead, Zhou Shuisheng could only choose to surrender. To be precise, he bowed his head to Andyon. Instead of giving him more than five million to be scared, it would be better to honestly transfer the store to Su Xiaohong.

Although Su Xiaohong was confident in Zhang Yang, she didn't expect that Zhou Shuisheng would be so obedient. She transferred the palace holiday to herself as a real five million yuan. In this transfer, Zhou Shuisheng lost at least two million yuan, but there was nothing she could do about it. Andyon had too much deterrent to him. After receiving the notice from Zhou Shuisheng, Su Xiaohong raised five million yuan in just one day. She was afraid that the night would be long and dreams would be too much. After completing the transfer procedures with Zhou Shuisheng, Su Xiaohong felt relieved. Palace holidays can be said to be her first industry. She was the general manager of Jinzun Nightclub, but actually

The boss is Fang Wennan. Even in Old Street 1919, Fang Wennan also owns most of the shares, and she is just responsible for the management. In the past, Su Xiaohong once thought that Fang Wennan was very good to him, but since Fang Wennan pushed her to Hong Weiji without hesitation, Su Xiaohong became suspicious. She became increasingly aware that Fang Wennan had never trusted him, so he was very tight to money. On the surface, it seemed that he had given her a lot of things, but the real benefits were all in his own hands. In other words, as long as Fang Wennan was unhappy, she could let her leave at any time, and Su Xiaohong would have nothing.

Hong Weiji is another kind of person. He is more cruel and selfish than Wennan. Su Xiaohong is just a tool to vent his desires. He will come and go when he calls him. If he comes, it should be easy to deal with the matter of the palace holiday. But due to his own face, he is afraid that others will make any mistakes and is unwilling to do anything. Su Xiaohong's contempt and disgust for Hong Weiji has reached the extreme. With her efforts, Hong Weiji has avoided the difficulty of getting her a loan of three million. With this money, Su Xiaohong can plan her future.

The incident of Su Xiaohong taking down the palace holiday caused a sensation in the entire Jiangcheng business community. Even Fang Wennan only found out after this incident. His first reaction was that he was very angry. He drove to the 1919 bar in the Old Street to find Su Xiaohong, suppressed his anger and asked: "Why don't you discuss such a big thing with me?"

Su Xiaohong said in a cold tone: "Why should I discuss with you? It was my own decision to win the Royal Holiday. I didn't spend a penny on you, so why can't I make the decision by myself?"

Fang Wennan felt an inexplicable anger. He pointed at Su Xiaohong's nose and cursed: "Do you think you have found a backer now and your wings are hard? I tell you, I can take them away if I can give it to you!"

Su Xiaohong sighed and said, "Fang Wennan, what have you given me? Have you taken less from me? After so many years, I have followed you, what else is left besides humiliation? Do you think I have given me enough money, but have you ever thought that money can buy a person's self-esteem?"

Fang Wennan looked at Su Xiaohong coldly. He found that this woman who had always been depressed to him was not easy to deal with. These days, he has been busy with his son's affairs and ignored his attention to Su Xiaohong. Unexpectedly, she was not restless, but after all, it still made some trouble. Fang Wennan was not angry about Su Xiaohong taking down the palace holiday. What he was angry about was that Su Xiaohong was trying to get rid of his restraints and control in this way. He used to think that Su Xiaohong was a vassal of his own and had to rely on himself in everything, but now he found himself wrong. Fang Wennan believed that the reason why Su Xiaohong was able to take down the Royal Holiday was that Hong Weiji was working behind the scenes. This speculation made him feel more and more angry. He whispered: "I really didn't expect that I would let you approach him and let him speak for my son, but you took this opportunity to get benefits for yourself. You disappointed me so much."

Su Xiaohong said angrily: "Fang Wennan, you disappointed me. I am not as despicable as you imagined. Hong Weiji is not willing to contribute to you at all. You only think of your son in your heart. Have you ever thought about me? I am your woman, and you just send me like a gift? Have you ever thought about my feelings?"

Fang Wennan sneered, he shook his head and left two words coldly: "Bitch!" He turned around and walked out of Su Xiaohong's office.

Su Xiaohong looked at Fang Wennan's back with red eyes. She forced herself to prevent tears from falling. She swore that she would not cry for this man from today. Her cell phone suddenly rang. When she turned on the phone, Hong Weiji's low voice came: "I'm in the old place, come!"

Su Xiaohong roared like an angry female leopard: "Don't look for me again, I don't want to see you!" She raised her phone and threw it hard to the ground. The phone fell on the hard ground. Su Xiaohong raised her head, her eyes full of stubbornness and strength. She walked out of the old street step by step. She wanted to cut off her ties with Fang Wennan, and she wanted to find herself. It was drizzling in the sky outside, and the bluestone pavement of the old street was washed clean. Su Xiaohong did not hold an umbrella. She took a deep breath of wet air, bowed down to remove her shoes and socks, and walked slowly along the bluestone pavement with barefoots. The soles of her feet felt cool and hard. For the first time, she had a feeling of being down-to-earth. Maybe everything would get better. Su Xiaohong looked at the gloomy sky, as if she saw hope...

Fang Wennan did not see hope. Every time he went to see his son, he always felt that his son had lost weight. Holding his son's hand, Fang Wennan felt a pain like a knife from the bottom of his heart. These days, he tried his best to use all his relationships, but the fact of his son's crime was placed there, and the lawyer also said that there was no way to exempt him from punishment.

Fang Haitao's body was trembling, and he said tremblingly: "Dad... save me quickly... I can't continue here, really can't..."

Fang Wennan smiled, trying to use this method to comfort his son's heart: "Haitao, don't worry, dad is thinking of a solution, and there will be a solution soon!"

Fang Haitao burst into tears: "Dad, I can't hold on anymore, I really can't hold on anymore. If I continue to stay in this place, I will die, I will really die!"

When Fang Wennan heard his son say this, he felt extremely sad. He nodded with emphasis: "Don't worry, dad will find a way, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

Fang Haitao left crying. It seemed that this prison life had a huge destruction from physical to mentality. Fang Wennan went to Beishan Detention Center to visit his younger brother Fang Wendong. Fang Wendong took all the responsibility in the Emperor's Prosperous Fire.

Fang Wennan was full of apology to his younger brother. Fang Wendong was very open-minded about this matter. He comforted Fang Wennan and said, "Brother, are you worried about Haitao's affairs?"

Fang Wennan sighed and said, "You are there!"

"I'm fine. I went out a few months later. I have calmly considered the days I came in. In fact, we are too indulgent to Haitao, and have never cared about him. We only care about making money, so we have put him on the evil path. My uncle loves him so much. I am afraid that some things will let you know, you will hit him, so I hide many things from you. Now think about it, I was the one who harmed him!"

Fang Wennan shook his head: "What does it have to do with you if you are not raising a godfather?"

Fang Wendong said: "Brother, have you actually thought that Haitao's imprisonment this time is not a bad thing. It can help him quit drug addiction and give him a profound lesson."

"I just went to see him. He lost a lot of weight and kept telling me that he was going to die, and my heart was broken..." Fang Wennan couldn't continue.

Fang Wendong said: "A person has to take responsibility if he makes a mistake. If he can escape the blame this time, he will still dare to do bad things in the future!"

Fang Wennan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not easy to escape from the blame? Although there is insufficient evidence for drug trafficking, both the charges of drug use have been established. Moreover, he was identified as one of the suspects for Director Tian's assassination. I have great skills and cannot acquit him!"

Fang Wendong advised: "I know I can't do it, so why bother to force me?"

"He is my son. If I don't do my best, how can I be willing?" Fang Wennan said, closing his eyes hard: "I suddenly realized that money cannot bring people true happiness!"

"That's when you reached this state. In the past, you often told me that there was nothing in this world that could not be done without money!"

Fang Wennan's voice was weak and weak: "Su Xiaohong took down the palace holiday, I want...she left me..."

Fang Wendong was stunned for a moment. He finally understood why his elder brother seemed so decadent. Su Xiaohong chose to leave at such a critical moment, which was a serious blow to him. Fang Wendong had never had any good feelings for Su Xiaohong. In the past, the elder brother believed too much about this woman. Even in Shengshi Group, Su Xiaohong's status had surpassed him. But to be fair, Fang Wendong also admitted that Su Xiaohong was very social and had her own style in business operations. Such women would not be satisfied with the status quo. Once her wings were hard, she would definitely fly away. Fang Wendong looked at the elder brother with a lonely expression, and didn't know how to persuade him for a moment. In the end, he formed a sentence: "Brother, I believe everything will pass!"

Fang Wennan's misfortune did not pass by Fang Wendong's words. At noon the next day, he received the bad news of his son's death. Fang Haitao was dead. During the meal, the criminals had a collective fight. In the chaos, Fang Haitao was stabbed by someone with a sharp weapon on his liver. When he found out, he had already suffered internal bleeding and shock. He died on the way to the hospital for emergency treatment. When Fang Wennan learned about this news, he was convening the board of directors of Shengshi Group. He said with a mute expression: "My son is dead!"

All the directors were stunned.

Fang Wennan repeated the second sentence as he woke up from his dream: "My son is dead!" Then his tears fell down. The dignified seven-foot man cried loudly in front of so many people. He walked out of the office crying and repeated: "My son is dead, they said my son is dead..."

Rong Pengfei was also shocked by the news. He immediately made a decision to ask the task force to rush to the scene to investigate the case and deal with the relevant responsible persons in the detention center. It is no small matter to have a violent murder in the detention center. He faced the first severe challenge after he came to power.

Fang Haitao's identity is quite special. Not only is he the son of Fang Wennan, the richest man in Jiangcheng, he is also the main suspect in Tian Qinglong's assassination case a while ago. When Rong Pengfei arrived in Jiangcheng, he specifically explained to the detention center to focus on Fang Haitao. Unexpectedly, something happened finally. Rong Pengfei really couldn't figure out what kind of person hated Fang Wennan to such an extent that after his son was imprisoned, he would kill Fang Haitao and kill Fang Haitao? Such a trick was so cruel.

Jiang Liang, deputy head of the task force, quickly reported the on-site investigation. Because the situation was too chaotic at the time, no one noticed who assassinated Fang Haitao. Now he has controlled all the main criminals involved in the fight. During the further investigation of the case, Jiang Liang raised a suspicious thing. During the fight, Fang Haitao did not participate in any party, which means he was just a bystander.

Rong Pengfei said angrily: "This matter must be planned. The real purpose of both parties in the fight is to attract the attention of the prison guards and other prisoners. Someone took the opportunity to attack Fang Haitao! Interrogate those prisoners well for me, and even if they dig three feet into the ground, they would dig out the murderer for me!"

Rong Pengfei hung up the phone angrily. Dong Dezhi, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, knocked on the door and walked into his office. Because another case occurred in Jiangcheng, Dong Dezhi's face was not good-looking. He whispered: "I just received another report call, saying that Director Tian was stabbed by Fang Haitao!"

Rong Pengfei said: "Director Dong, you are responsible for the technical department. You don't have to report to me about tracking the phone. What I want to hear is the result!"

Dong Dezhi said: "Rong Bureau, the person who makes anonymous calls is very cunning. He is very familiar with our tracking technology."

Rong Pengfei put on a police cap and said to Dong Dezhi: "I want to go out, you can take charge in the bureau!"

The place where Rong Pengfei went was in the morgue. The forensic doctor had already done an autopsy and his family had also identified the body. Rong Pengfei was not concerned about the results of the autopsy. The person he really wanted to meet was Fang Wennan.

After signing, Fang Wennan left the morgue. He stood in the courtyard and smoked silently. The rain in the afternoon became much heavier, and his clothes were all covered, but Fang Wennan was not aware of it.

Rong Pengfei's police car stopped beside him, and the car window slowly fell down. Rong Pengfei looked at the richest man in Jiangcheng sympathetically. The grief of losing his son in middle age was obviously huge. He whispered: "Mr. Fang! Can you talk to you?"

Fang Wennan's eyes were a little dull. He looked at Rong Pengfei and nodded.

Rong Pengfei got out of the car and rejected the umbrella in the driver's hand. He stood with Fang Wennan in the rain and whispered: "Sad to be ashamed of the changes!"

Fang Wennan's lips twitched: "My son is dead... he died in your detention center!"

Rong Pengfei could understand Fang Wennan's mood at this moment. He realized that Fang Wennan was venting his anger on the policemen, and he whispered: "No one wants this to happen. Please believe me. All of us policemen are trying their best to find the murderer. I want to know if you have any enemies?"

"A lot!" Fang Wennan said this and walked towards his Lincoln car.

Until he saw Fang Wennan's back disappearing in the storm, Rong Pengfei returned to the car, and the driver Xiao Liu said, "Director Rong, phone number!"

Rong Pengfei picked up his cell phone and called Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang also heard about Fang Haitao's death, but he was not sure about this matter, and it was not convenient for him to call Fang Wennan. After considering it, he would call Rong Pengfei to confirm.

After Rong Pengfei gave a positive answer, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh. Although he didn't like Fang Haitao, such an ending was too tragic for a young man. Fang Wennan has indeed been in trouble recently. Zhang Yang has his opinion on this. He believes that Fang Haitao's death is definitely not an accident, and someone is targeting Fang Wennan.

Rong Pengfei said: "Zhang Yang, you have a good relationship with Fang Wennan. Do you know what enemies he has?"

"How can people in the business world have no enemies? Especially successful businessmen like Fang Wennan!"

Rong Pengfei obviously had no interest in speculation without evidence. He was in a heavy mood now. After talking to Zhang Yang for a few words, he hung up the phone.

Zhang Yang's heart also became heavy because of Fang Haitao's affairs. The reason why Fang Haitao's case was delayed was because he was a major suspect in the assassination case of Tian Qinglong. So far, the two suspects in the Tian Qinglong case, Hei Ba and Fang Haitao, have both died. If these two things were taken alone, Tian Qinglong and Fang Wennan have had bad luck recently. If Tian Qinglong did not happen to meet him, they should have died. In comparison, Fang Haitao did not have such a good life. For some reason, Zhang Yang suddenly remembered Gu Jiatong. He shivered for no reason, picked up the phone and called Gu Jiatong.

Gu Jiatong's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Zhang Yang! Is there anything wrong?"

Zhang Yang felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, I just want to ask how you are doing in Beijing?"

Gu Jiatong laughed: "Very good, I'll have dinner with your godmother at noon!"

"How is Mingjian?"

"It's much better. I went to see him yesterday. My mental state has basically returned to normal and I have gained a lot of weight. This time I should be able to successfully quit drug addiction."

"The weather is getting colder, please pay more attention to your health!"

"I know, Zhang Yang, why did you suddenly become so considerate today?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I have always been considerate of you!" Zhang Yang did not tell Gu Jiatong about Fang Haitao's death. He did not want to cause any shadow to Gu Jiatong, but he always felt that these frequent things that happened recently had almost happened around him, and seemed to have some relationship with him. He and Tian Qinglong were friends for ages, and he and Fang Wennan were career partners. The reason why he said this was because his relationship with Fang Wennan was a combination of interests. Fang Wennan was a smart person, and it was because he saw his ability that he interacted with him. But Zhang Yang admired Fang Wennan's courage and vision and expressed deep sympathy for his current situation.

Zhang Yang hung up the phone, but he was still a little worried. He called Xing Chaohui specifically and asked Xing Chaohui to help him protect Gu Jiatong. Xing Chaohui almost fainted when he heard his request. This guy was no longer treating himself as an outsider and actually asked himself, a senior official of the National Security Bureau, to act as a bodyguard for his woman.

Zhang Yang's reasons are also very good. He suspected that someone was dealing with him recently, which was related to the disclosure of his identity by Guoan. Xing Chaohui was confused by him and could only nod and agree. However, this was not an official promise. He was just as a friend, he would help take care of Gu Jiatong.

Fang Wennan went to the old house in the south of the city. Before he became rich, the family lived here. Now the house has been vacant for many years. When he opened the gate of the courtyard, the courtyard was covered with weeds, and the eaves of the roof were covered with moss. Fang Wennan slowly walked into the courtyard. He remembered the scene of the family having fun in the past. The old locust tree in the courtyard was still there. The scene of him playing around the old locust tree with his son seemed to be right in front of him, but now things have changed. The rain has stopped, and the stone bench in the courtyard is still wet. Fang Wennan sat down on the stone bench, fumbled out a cigarette from his arms, and lit it with his hands trembling. Although it was only a few hours, he seemed to have grown old in his teens, and the wrinkles on his forehead became deeper, like a knife cutting an axe. He smoked the cigarette with all his strength.

The sound of high heels hitting the ground sounded in his ears. Su Xiaohong's steps were slow and heavy. After hearing the news of Fang Haitao's death, she suddenly felt a little regretful. The disgust and contempt of Fang Wennan disappeared in an instant. She still had feelings for Fang Wennan. At this time, what Fang Wennan needed most was comfort. Su Xiaohong called his phone and found that he had turned off. Then she went to him everywhere. Finally, she remembered that Fang Wennan still had such a place. When people were in pain, they often recalled the past. Fang Wennan had brought her here at the low point of his career, but now, when Fang Wennan was in the most painful time, he came to his former residence again.

Su Xiaohong has never seen Fang Wennan so decadent. Even when his business was at its lowest point, he was still full of energy and fighting spirit, but now Fang Wennan has been completely defeated by the cruel reality.

"Wennan..."

Fang Wennan raised his head, and there were no tears in his eyes, and there were bloodshot red: "Are you here? Come and see my joke?"

Su Xiaohong shook her head: "Don't do this!"

"I don't need your sympathy, get out of here! Get out of here!" Fang Wennan shouted.

Su Xiaohong bit her lip hard, holding back the tears and did not fall. She finally turned around and left the courtyard. Night fell, and the autumn wind was getting colder. Only Fang Wennan's lonely figure sat quietly in the courtyard, so lonely and so desolate...

Fang Wennan soon understood the true meaning of misfortune. At around 5 p.m. on the day his son died, an accident occurred in the Qiangwei River section of the Third Ring East Road, which had been opened to traffic. Just three days after opening to traffic, a collapse occurred on the Qiangwei River Bridge. Two cars fell from the collapsed bridge deck into the water, causing one person to die and three people to be injured.

This accident shocked the leadership of Jiangcheng. Li Changyu, who was in charge of the Third Ring Road Project, rushed to the construction site immediately. If such a thing happened, he would definitely be responsible. Li Changyu was thinking about the four words "defense will not go singularly". Many ordinary people came to the scene and pointed at the collapsed bridge.

Some ordinary people said: "The Happiness Bridge was built in more than six years, but it has not collapsed for thirty years. The new bridge collapsed in just three days after it was opened to traffic!"

"It's not just cutting corners!"

"The government is irresponsible to the tofu project now, and it is all about repairing these tofu project!"

"What do you think of us ordinary people as? Disregard human lives!"

The onlookers became more and more angry as they spoke. When Li Changyu brought the cadres in charge to the scene, the crowd whispered insults from time to time.

Li Changyu's face was tense, his heart was as heavy as lead. Looking at the broken bridge and the firefighters fighting in the mud, how could the scene in front of him not make the people feel heartbroken and not be scolded? He began to reflect on himself. Perhaps the first thing he considered was not the official position, but to do good things for the people and the country steadily.

After learning about the situation on the scene, Li Changyu came aside. Soon, the director of the Transportation Bureau, Gu Xin, came to him. From Gu Xin's pale face, he could see that he was very scared. He was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Third Ring Road Project and the on-site commander. He had realized that the nature of this matter was extremely serious, and he might not even be able to keep the black veil on his head.

Gu Xin said in a trepidated manner: "The cause of the accident is still under investigation..."

Li Changyu looked at him coldly: "Investigation? The bridge that had just been built for three days collapsed. This is a naked slap in the face. What else can I investigate? No one of the persons responsible for the accident can escape!"
To be continued...
