Liu Zhonglie leaned back on his chair, a long-lost smile on his old face. He knew very well that if he could take this opportunity to bring down Datang, it would be a decisive blow for Liansheng.

"Li Siwen, it turns out you have today too!".

Liu Zhonglie made a vicious voice.

Hujiang

Li Siwen was taken to a control center in the suburbs. This is where the Hujiang prosecutors detained officials. To put it simply, Li Siwen's current treatment was undoubtedly double-standard.

In the room, there was a black and white TV, a bed, a coffee table, a kettle, and the sheets and mattresses were all military green. Li Siwen had been lying in bed for six or seven hours, and he even had a good sleep.

The door was opened, and five people in uniform walked in, four men and one woman. The last person was holding a tray with four dishes and one soup.

"Mr. Li, are you hungry?" The last person put the tray on the coffee table and said calmly: "You eat something first, and we'll chat while we eat."

"Listening to what you said, I'm really a little hungry." Li Siwen picked up the rice and started eating it, not forgetting to joke: "I have never enjoyed this kind of Shuanggui treatment when I grow up."

"Those who can enjoy this kind of treatment have basically gone in." A middle-aged man wearing a hat smiled and sat on a chair, while several others set up cameras nearby.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Cheng Yuan, director of the Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate. These two are my colleagues, these two staff members of the Hujiang Procuratorate.

Today is May 9, 1996. I am conducting the first interview on behalf of the prosecutor. I hope Mr. Li can cooperate with our work." Cheng Yuan looked at Li Siwen and said.

"Just ask whatever you want, I will definitely cooperate." Li Siwen said while eating, and did not forget to remind: "Next time, the taste of the food can be stronger, it is too bland."

Cheng Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, may I ask how much the Chinese Business Working Group's total public account expenditures were during this trip to the Netherlands?"

"Seventy-nine billion." Li Siwen replied.

"During the business trip, as the team leader, did you engage in extravagant and wasteful behavior, such as choosing a five-star hotel to stay in, or staying in an expensive presidential suite?" the member asked again.

Li Siwen smiled softly: "Director Cheng, let's skip these detailed questions and ask the main ones directly, right?"

"Li Siwen, you just say whatever I ask you, and you are still picky? Do you think we are dealing with violations of regulations? We are dealing with bribery. Let me tell you, you have gone too far this time."

A young man next to Cheng Yuan yelled angrily. His name was Lu Zhimin, and he was the director of the Shanghai Procuratorate. Before he came here, he had received an order from his superiors, and he must not be polite to Li Siwen. This was also the relationship that Chen Liang had smoothed.

"Really?" Li Siwen put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked with a smile.

The corners of Lu Zhimin's eyes twitched. He was very annoyed when he saw Li Siwentian showing no fear and yelled: "Don't you fucking laugh around here. This is the prosecutor's interrogation. Do you think it's just playing house?"

Li Siwen's expression instantly turned cold when he heard this, and he said sternly: "I don't have to laugh and laugh, but please don't talk too much."

Lu Zhimin snorted and said with great disdain: "Li Siwen, who do you think you are? You dare to bargain with me."

"Who am I?" Li Siwen raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I will let you know soon."

After he finished speaking, he lay down directly on the bed, closed his eyes and said: "From now on, I will not answer any of your questions until this self-righteous guy apologizes to me."

The scene fell silent for a moment. Lu Zhimin's eyes were fierce and he said angrily: "Li Siwen, do you really think you can escape punishment without speaking?"

Li Siwen didn't care about the other party at all, and turned his body sideways. Seeing this scene, Lu Zhimin became even more angry: "I think you just need to be dealt with."

With that said, he wanted to step forward and pull Li Siwen up. At this time, Cheng Yuan, who had been silent, immediately stopped him and persuaded him: "Lao Lu, don't be impulsive."

Cheng Yuan glanced at the camera and then said to Li Siwen: "Mr. Li, don't be angry. We are just going through the normal procedures, so we are asking more detailed questions."

"Director Cheng, if you want to make peace, I advise you not to waste your time." Li Siwen dozed off after finishing speaking.

Cheng Yuan had no choice but to drag Lu Zhimin out. In the yard, he said angrily: "Old Lu, why are you competing with him?"

"Director Cheng, you can't blame me for this. Look at his arrogant attitude. I was just being polite." Lu Zhimin said dissatisfied.

"Stop talking about this, you can go in and apologize to him later," Cheng Yuan said.

"I apologize to him? Impossible." Lu Zhimin said with great reluctance: "And it is a certainty that he accepted bribes."

"I said, Lao Lu, you are also a veteran cadre of the prosecution. You should know how to proceed. If Li Siwen's mouth is not pried open, how can we advance our work quickly? Don't you want to send him in? Then

Apologize quickly." What Cheng Yuan said left Lu Zhimin speechless. After weighing the pros and cons, he walked back to the room and said reluctantly: "I'm sorry."

"Didn't your mother tell you to apologize and say you're sorry?" Li Siwen sat up from the bed and stared at Lu Zhimin coldly.

Lu Zhimin gritted his teeth in hatred, but he could only express helplessly again: "I'm sorry."

"Do you know what I am this time?" Li Siwen smiled coldly, like a devil full of evil. This sneer quickly dissipated without a trace. He looked at Cheng Yuan and said, "Cheng Chu

Chief, just ask."

"Excuse me, Mr. Li, what is the total amount of this cooperation with Philips, and what equipment is mainly involved?" Cheng Yuan asked, looking at the text in his hand.

"It's less than US$800 million. The most important thing is to introduce an advanced production line, which costs US$700 million."

Cheng Yuan turned over a page of text: "According to the information provided by the expert group, this production line is worth up to 400 million U.S. dollars. Do you know?"

"Informed."

"Have any colleagues reminded you of this during the negotiation?"

"have."

"Since a colleague reminded you, why do you still insist on introducing this production line at a high price?"

"Because I think this production line is worth $700 million."

Cheng Yuan and several colleagues looked at each other and said in a more serious voice: "Is it worth 700 million US dollars, or have you reached some kind of agreement with Philips' top management?"

"Do you think I'm taking a kickback?" Li Siwen asked calmly, as if he were having a normal conversation.
