When Lin Yi rushed to Tan's house, Tan Zhongkong had already returned. Only his black Audi A6 was parked in the empty yard. This made Lin Yi's last hope shattered. He was still thinking about whether Tan Xiaojun was himself.
I came home, but Tan Xiaojun’s car was not parked in the yard at the moment.
"I hope the Tian family and his son haven't gone crazy to this extent yet!" Lin Yi paid the taxi fare and walked toward the yard with anxiety.
Tan Zhongkong and Li Sulan were both still at home at this time, but Tan Zhongkong's face was a little ugly, and Li Sulan's face was still covered with tears that had not dried up. She had obviously just cried, and she was still sobbing uncontrollably until now.
.
"Uncle and aunt." Lin Yi greeted politely, but didn't know what to say next.
"Take a seat first." Tan Zhongkong pointed to the empty chair next to him, took a deep breath and said, "Did you know that Xiaojun was kidnapped?"
"I...I haven't gotten the exact information before, but I've already guessed it!" Lin Yi sat down slowly, raised his face and asked, "Did the Tian family and his son do it?"
"I just received a call from Tian Zixiang!" Tan Zhongkong looked at the mobile phone on the table, then looked at Li Sulan and said, "Sulan, you go upstairs to accompany Yaqing, I will talk to Lin Yi about something.
.”
"I'm not going!" Li Sulan, who had never gone against Tan Zhongkong's wishes, had no intention of leaving at this time. She wiped the tears on her face and said, "I'm not going anywhere today. I have to know something about my son."
You can’t deprive me of all the news, and you can’t even try to get me away!”
Tan Zhongkong frowned, and then his expression softened: "Sulan, don't fool around, it won't do anything for you to sit here. Go upstairs and accompany Yaqing. I will do everything possible to rescue Xiaojun."
of!"
"I'm not going!" Li Sulan simply turned her back and went, determined not to leave.
"Do you still want me to drag you up?" Tan Zhongkong slapped the table hard and shouted, "I'll tell you one last time, get out of here!"
Li Sulan finally stood up, turned around, pointed at Tan Zhongkong's nose, and shouted with a cry: "Tan Zhongkong, I don't understand your officialdom, and I don't want to understand, I just want to
My son is just fine. Don't bring your official affairs into the family. If there is anything wrong with Xiaojun, I will never end it with you!"
After saying that, Li Sulan turned around and ran upstairs, leaving behind a mother's bitter back.
Lin Yi was sitting on pins and needles at the moment, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. If he hadn't involved Tan Xiaojun in the first place, there wouldn't be anything like this today. Facing a mother's silent accusation, he really wanted to find a place.
Get in through the cracks.
But the ground is made of cold and hard floor tiles, so tight that there is no crack. Even if there is a crack, he can't get in, because now is not the time to escape from the problem. The most important thing is to find a way to rescue Tan Xiaojun first.
.
"Uncle Tan, what conditions did Tian Zixiang call you just now?" Lin Yi wiped his face, put away his guilt and self-blame, raised his head and asked.
"What other conditions can they put forward?" Tan Zhongkong shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, "They shot Wen Wanqing to death some time ago in order to force the municipal party committee to re-establish them and become the controller of the video game market in Yanhai City.
, but in the end their wishful thinking failed, and now they kidnapped Xiaojun, what else could they do?"
Tan Zhongkong's words made Lin Yi's guilt suddenly rise again. After a long silence, Lin Yi finally said in a deep voice: "Uncle Tan, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me..."
"Stop talking, now is not the time to say such things, and it doesn't make any sense." Tan Zhongkong stretched out his hand to stop Lin Yi from speaking, took a deep breath and said, "The Tian family is just a wolf cub, and I am
As the mayor of Yanhai City, how can I condone traitors? Do I, as a dignified mayor, still have to obey their advice?"
Lin Yi had no choice but to put away his guilt, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Uncle Tan, for the sake of Xiaojun's safety, I suggest you agree to their request first, and I will cooperate and hand over control of the video game market in Yanhai City.
Quan, once they release Xiaojun, it won’t be too late for you to slowly deal with them!”
"If things are really that simple, then why should I be so worried?" Tan Zhongkong sighed, "Although I am the mayor of Yanhai City, I cannot let the municipal committee's resolution be changed overnight. This incident has already reversed
I have repeated it many times. If I tamper with the resolution dictatorially again, I am afraid those old guys on the municipal committee will have something to say. Besides, the Tian family and his son are not fools. They have made such a big mess this time, how could they not have done it?
Backhand?"
"Backhand? What backhand?" Lin Yi asked.
Tan Zhongkong picked up the mobile phone on the table, waved it in front of Lin Yi's eyes and said: "Tian Zixiang made the conditions very clear in the previous phone call to me. In addition to asking me to change the decision and re-
In addition to supporting them, I must also give them a handle to hold on to, so that they can prevent me from retaliating against them in the future."
"You...what handle do you have?"
"Haha... Regardless of whether he is a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman, how many people who can climb to a certain position have a clean foundation?" Tan Zhongkong shook his head and smiled, "They asked me to give me a share that is enough to bring me down.
The criminal evidence was handed over to them in exchange for Xiaojun. In this way, even if they let Xiaojun go, they still have the bargaining chip to blackmail me!"
Lin Yi suddenly didn't know how to respond. After all, this matter related to Tan Xiaojun's life and Tan Zhongkong's lifelong career. What is more important between the two and how to choose can only be decided by Tan Zhongkong himself. He is an outsider.
It was really inconvenient to interrupt, so I just asked tentatively: "Uncle Tan, what are you going to do...?"
"Compared with sons and official titles, of course sons are more important!" Tan Zhongkong made the choice without hesitation, then looked at Lin Yi and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, they designated the delivery
My candidate for criminal evidence is you!"
"Me?" Lin Yi pointed to the tip of his nose and asked, "You mean, they want me to be an errand boy and hand over your criminal evidence to them?"
"That's right." Tan Zhongkong nodded heavily, "Lin Yi, I have to tell you the truth, the reason why they let you be this errand boy is because they definitely want to take the opportunity to get rid of you so that their Tian family can regain control of the tobacco industry.
The Haishi video game market has cleared the obstacles!”
"I know!" Lin Yi nodded calmly, "Have you made your choice?"
"I should be the one asking you if you have made a choice?" Tan Zhongkong asked.
"I will cooperate with your choice!"
…
Lin Yi was afraid of seeing Li Sulan crying, so he didn't go upstairs to see Tan Yaqing before leaving. After coming out of Tan's house, he didn't go back to Lily Garden immediately, but took a taxi and ran straight north.
He went to the police station and called Ye Xiaoxiao at the door of the police station.
"Hey, you, the new generation of video game tycoon in Yanhai City, why are you calling and harassing me if you are not busy cleaning up your place?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked unfriendlyly as soon as he answered the phone.
"Report the crime!" Lin Yi briefly stated the purpose of his call.
"Report a crime?" Ye Xiaoxiao was obviously stunned, and suddenly seemed a little impatient, "Please, brother, if you want to report a crime, please call our dedicated reporting phone number. Why are you calling my personal mobile phone?"
"Then you mean, if I don't report the crime, I can call your personal mobile phone?" Lin Yi teased with a smirk.
"Do you dare not to be so boring? You are so idle all day long, but I am very busy at work, okay?" Ye Xiaoxiao said and was about to hang up the phone.
"Don't hang up the phone yet, I really have something important to see you!" Lin Yi didn't dare to joke anymore, and said quickly, "I'm at the door of your police station now. You come out first, and I'll give you the details when we meet.
explain!"
Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to refuse, but secretly muttered in his heart: "If you tell me to come out, then you will come out. How shameless will that sister be?"
But she heard Lin Yi's tone of voice as if he wasn't joking, and this guy must have been very busy during this period. How could he have the leisure to come to the door of their police station to joke with her?
So after thinking for a while, Ye Xiaoxiao agreed: "You'd better give me a super strong reason later. If you let me know that you are teasing me, I will definitely let you
nice!"
"Guaranteed to be super powerful!"
Ten minutes later, Ye Xiaoxiao, wearing a police uniform, appeared at the door of the Beimen Police Station. When he saw Lin Yi squatting on the roadside smoking, looking like a complete gangster, he walked over and kicked Lin Yi in the butt.
On the screen, he put on a cold attitude of keeping away from strangers and strangers: "Hey, tell me something if you have something to say!"
"Have you ever greeted me like this?" Lin Yi glared at Ye Xiaoxiao angrily, pinched off the cigarette in his hand, patted his butt and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's find a quiet place."
"Is there anything that cannot be said under the majestic and solemn national emblem, and we have to go elsewhere?" Ye Xiaoxiao raised his finger and pointed at the Shuoshuo national emblem at the door of the Beimen Police Station, and suddenly frowned cautiously, "You don't want to use it?
This is such a bad trick to trick me into going out on a date with you, right?"
"I'll date your sister!" Lin Yi was really shocked by Ye Xiaoxiao's super imagination. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Sister, I really don't know where you get such strong self-confidence?
"
"You are the eldest sister. I have been deceived too much by the young people in our institute who used various tricks to cheat on dates. It is an instinctive stress reaction!" Ye Xiaoxiao glared at Lin Yi angrily and shook his head.
Asked, "Then why are you looking for me today? If you don't tell me one, two, three, four, five, six, you won't let me go with you!"
"I told you, I'm here to report a case today...a kidnapping case!"
