That night, Wang Hai and Xie Hongda sat in the "Green Rain Tea House" for more than two hours, analyzing various possible situations and discussing various countermeasures, but none of them made them feel at ease. , feel satisfied.
So, they had no choice but to break up full of anxiety and rush home worriedly. Both of them stayed up all night, feeling oppressed by a heavy premonition of the coming storm...
Like Wang Hai and Xie Hongda, Li Zhi and his son also stayed up all night in the newly cold Li Botang. The two of them sat in the chairman's office of Zhenxing Company, suppressing the panic and fear in their hearts, waiting for Wang Hai and Xie Hongda to give them Call us for support or arrange the next action plan.
However, they waited until seven o'clock in the morning and the two men never called again.
At about a quarter past seven, the head of the company's security department suddenly rushed into the chairman's office and reported stammeringly: "Mr. Li, around three o'clock this morning, the Qingquan Hotel was raided by the county public security bureau. Qingquan Hotel The bathing center and video arcade were all sealed, and dozens of prostitutes, gamblers and girls were taken away at the scene. According to a buddy at the police station, this operation was personally directed by Liang Tanghua, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the provincial police were also present at the scene. Chen Guitian, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Department, is in charge. Moreover, Mr. Zhao from the hotel was also taken away by the Public Security Bureau. Several security personnel sent by our company there are now being interrogated at the Security Brigade of the Public Security Bureau. Mr. Li, you just transferred the funds Go to Qingquan Hotel. Now that such a big thing has happened, you should quickly find a way to settle it. Otherwise, Qingquan Hotel will have to close its doors."
It turns out that since Manager Zhao drove away Tao Yong's brother Tao Qing and Shi Yingkai's aunt and bought back their shares in the hotel, Li Botang invested in the Qingquan Hotel and was preparing to renovate and upgrade the hotel. , I didn’t expect such a big thing to happen suddenly now.
Li Botang knew that once bad luck comes to a person, bad things will happen one after another, so after hearing the security captain's report, he was not very surprised or panicked, and waved his hand to let him go out first. .
Then, he squinted his eyes and thought for a while, raised his head and said to Li Zhi, whose face was a little gray: "Li Zhi, now it's the other party's turn to press us step by step. If what I expected is true, Liang Tanghua raided the Qingquan Hotel, what a crackdown on pornography. The crackdown on gambling, gambling, and drug control are all excuses and covers. Their real purpose is to capture Zhao Xiaolin. On the one hand, they want to avenge Ye Ming, and on the other hand, they also want to get out of Zhao Xiaolin what we agreed with him to destroy him. Ye Ming's plan is to deal with us in a targeted manner. Now it seems that the situation is getting worse and worse.
"I don't have much dealings with Zhao Xiaolin. I have only met and talked with him a few times. Judging from his appearance, he has fleshless cheeks, a sharp chin, a sinister look, and hypocritical words. He is a complete coward. He looks like a human being. When I asked him to come forward to report Ye Ming, it was because he was a villain who was easily tempted and persuaded. But now it seems that my move was a bit miscalculated, because people like him, although it is easy to Although he is tempted, he is also easy to betray us. I estimate that once he comes to the situation this time, without Liang Tanghua and the others using any means, this guy will tell us everything about the plan we agreed with him to bring down Ye Ming. Fortunately, I am still here. He did not disclose to him the involvement of the leaders of the provincial party committee in this matter, otherwise, we would really be killed by this kid,"
At this point, he sighed helplessly and said to himself: "If you fail to defeat the tiger, you will be addicted to it. The day when Ye Ming will take revenge on us is coming soon,"
When Li Zhi heard his father's lament, his heart trembled, and he felt cold sweat breaking out all over his body: When he thought that once he was retaliated by Ye Ming, he would probably lose his fortune and be sentenced to jail for defrauding and evading state taxes. From now on, we have to stay away from the current happy life of indulgence and debauchery. We have to become a pauper with nothing. We have to go to the labor camp to do hard work with the murderers, rapists, and robbers. We have to spend every day in prison with the armed police and After the discipline commanded him to get up on time, go to bed on time, and work on time, there was no more drinking, no singing, and no girls to play with him. He felt a wave of terror and despair in his heart: If he really wanted to live such a life by himself, It's better to stab yourself to death now.
At this time, he began to truly regret: If I had known this, why would I have fought with that boy named Ye? Even if he snatched Chen Yi away and made himself a cuckold, he still had no shortage of women. One more or less Chen Yi doesn't matter to me at all, so why bother to fight for this free time? The worst case scenario is to divorce Chen Yi and let her marry that boy. I will be happy and free, and can continue to live the happy life like before without any worries. After all, I won’t be as frightened and frightened as I am now...
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a strong feeling of regret in his heart, so he raised his head, glanced at his father timidly, and said in a low voice: "Dad, since the situation is like this now, we It's already very difficult to expect those people in the province to turn around. Otherwise, let's make peace with Ye Ming. Anyway, now Chen Yi has disappeared without a trace, and she is pregnant again. You scoundrel, even if I find her, I will never ask her again. Why do we have to fight with him now? I know the temper and character of Ye Ming. If you or I lower our If you make a gesture, say a few nice words to him, or treat him to a meal, shake hands and make peace, and stop fighting like this, maybe we and the company can avoid a lot of trouble..."
"Shut up, you bloodless weakling and prodigal son. You can even say such things. What evil did I, Li Botang, do in my previous life? I gave birth to such a self-contemptuous and shameless beast like you. I have long ago I told you: The hatred of killing your father and the hatred of taking your wife are sworn shames and great humiliations. If you don’t retaliate, you won’t be able to live in this world. You are willing to be a cuckold and a bastard. I can’t afford to lose my old face. , Our Li family cannot tolerate such shame. Even if I go bankrupt, even if I become a beggar, I will still go to the home of the boy named Ye and bite off a few pieces of his flesh before I am willing to accept it. If you continue If you want to bring up the matter of making peace with that boy, I will beat you to death with a stick first, so that you will not be regarded as a living treasure and a living bastard in this world."
Li Zhi saw his father's face was ferocious, his eyes were cracked, as if he wanted to eat him alive, so he shrank back in fear, and no longer dared to say a word.
