"I want to ask Uncle Shen, do you still want to take the position of dean of the H City High Court?"
Lin Xiangwan suddenly changed the topic, leaving Shen Congrong at a loss as to how to respond. Moreover, he also found that Lin Xiangwan's entire aura changed as he uttered this unkind question.
One second ago, she was still the girl with melancholy eyes, but at this moment, she was already a powerful opponent at the negotiation table.
She knew she could win, and the understated smile on her lips said it all.
Shen Congrong tapped his forehead with his hand and replied, "Miss Lin, where do you start with this?"
"Uncle Shen, I'm sorry to speak to you in such a tone, but there are some things that cannot be delayed. I want to know if you really care about the position of dean, or are you just like those who seek fame and reputation and only care about the benefits it brings? Give you the power and benefits. Because what I want to say may affect my life. If you are the former type of person, then I can safely tell you everything I know, but if you are the latter type of person …”
Lin Xiangwan paused after saying this, and looked at Shen Congrong with some fun. Shen Congrong felt angry and funny in his heart. It was funny because who did this little girl think she was? How dare she discuss his career with him in such a pretentious manner? But he was angry because, for many years, no one dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.
"Miss Lin should be able to trust my character. If you have anything to say, please tell me directly."
"Believe...belief is too luxurious for me. I have believed in many people, but only a few people have lived up to my belief." Lin Xiangwan's fingers moved back and forth in circles on the teacup, and his fingertips lightly The tea in the cup also trembled with ripples. "But Uncle Shen, I am willing to believe you."
"Because I've been sitting in this position for many years?" Shen Congrong joked, intending to ease the sudden tension in the room.
Lin Xiangwan shook his head, "No, because of your Shen Shijun's father. I believe senior brother, only a good family education can cultivate a person with that kind of character, so I believe you are not a bad person." Lin Xiangwan said and opened the door. He took out a few newspapers from the small bag he carried with him, crossed the large desk, and delivered them to Shen Congrong.
Shen Congrong opened the newspaper and found that it was an old newspaper from a few years ago. The important parts of the newspaper that were highlighted with red pen were all important economic cases that caused a sensation in H City a few years ago.
"Uncle Shen must still remember these cases, right? It's just that there was insufficient evidence at the time, so they were all dropped in the end."
Of course Shen Congrong remembered it. Who could forget the few big mistakes he had made in his life? Because these cases ended without any resolution, the judiciary of City H was humiliated. What does this girl want to do now when she brings these things up? ? He frowned and looked at Lin Xiangwan, "What do you mean..."
"What I mean is, if Uncle Shen is willing, I can help you find all the evidence you need and let you make a good comeback. Of course, if you are unwilling to overturn the case again... then that is another matter."
Lin Xiangwan spoke in an understatement, but to Shen Congrong, this topic sounded extremely heavy. If these cases could be investigated to the bottom, not only would it be a shame, but it would also be beneficial to the entire economic situation of H City. Those hidden in The borers in the dark, if they are not dug out, sooner or later they will swallow up the entire granary.
But just by Lin Xiangwan? In one sentence? He has to go through everything that happened back then? Don’t talk about himself, just talk about the relevant institutions involved. If the final result is still in vain, then How is he going to deal with his people?
"Ms. Lin, it's my honor that you believe in me. Of course, I also want to believe you, but just by your words..."
"I know what you are worried about. Not only the cases a few years ago, but also the recent incidents of Vietnamese violently injuring people in H City. If you want to know the real reason, I can also tell you."
Recently, there have been several violent incidents in the downtown area of H City in which Vietnamese people gathered to fight, smash and rob businesses. Since they are foreigners, how to deal with these people is a headache for the H City authorities. Locking them up is nothing more than a waste of prison resources. and food, but when they were released, the merchants became angry again. Moreover, these people were very violent. A group of people were imprisoned, and the rest ganged up to commit crimes even more arrogantly.
Lin Xiangwan seemed to be determined to make Shen Congrong completely believe in her, so she dropped heavy bombs one after another, leaving Shen Congrong with no chance to refuse.
It's just that it's not a trivial matter to start reversing the case again. Even if Shen Congrong really wants to start, he has to study and discuss with the task force before making a decision. Lin Xiangwan saw that he was thinking about it for a long time and thought that he still didn't trust him. So he said again, "It's right for Uncle Shen to have doubts. After all, it's such a big thing. How about this? I'll tell you what I know first, and you can see if it's worth it, and then you can choose whether to cooperate with me." ."
Lin Xiangwan said and handed over another folded note. Shen Congrong unfolded the note and found a series of strange combinations of numbers and letters written on it.
"This is the ship number, and there is still time to arrive at the port. If Uncle Shen can take the time to send someone to check this cargo ship, he should gain a lot."
"You mean there are smuggled goods on the ship?" Shen Congrong's back straightened immediately, and his voice rose several levels.
Lin Xiangwan smiled calmly and said, "Smugglers... or smuggled goods, who knows, Uncle Shen will go and take a look, and it will be clear to you."
If the government people were to investigate this kind of information themselves, they might not be able to find it even if they searched for the rest of the world, but she gave it to him easily. Shen Congrong took a deep breath and sat back in his chair again. , "Ms. Lin, you provided me with such news...what do you want?"
Lin Xiangwan turned to look out the window. The weather outside was fine and the autumn air was crisp. It was a good day for the whole family to go out. "As an ordinary citizen of H City, I just want to do my best for municipal construction."
"Miss Lin... now is not a good time to joke." Shen Congrong replied with a wry smile. If he really thought that Lin Xiangwan was just trying to be a good citizen by throwing these heavy bombs, then his years of work in the city would have been in vain. " The city will give some monetary rewards to citizens who provide important evidence, but the amount of money will not be too much..."
Shen Congrong speculated and said, in exchange for Lin Xiangwan's smile, "Money is nothing more than an external possession to me. If I really want money, I will never choose such a troublesome and dangerous way. I want Of...only Uncle Shen can provide me..."
Shen Congrong raised his eyebrows, waiting for Lin Xiangwan to speak again, "I want 24-hour witness protection."
"Oh, this is not difficult. If Miss Lin really provides very important evidence, we will definitely take relevant protective measures for you."
"It's wrong, not to me, but to my son. I want you to provide him with witness protection until he reaches the age of 18." Lin Xiangwan said word by word, "He is only four years old now. I What I want is a 14-year witness protection. Even if one day I am no longer with him, I hope you can keep your promise and not let anyone, including his immediate family members, get close to him until he reaches adulthood. He, Uncle Shen, can you do it?"
Shen Congrong felt a huge pressure. This pressure did not come from other people, but from the girl who was facing him and was younger than his son. She entrusted her only child to him, and she was taking care of him. Trade your future and life with him.
"Ms. Lin... this matter is of great importance. I suggest you think carefully. Providing witness protection can only protect your son's life from threats and violations, but the growth of a child requires more than just Only then, you are the most important to him."
"Do you think I don't understand this? If I had the choice, how could I give him to others?" Lin Xiangwan replied indifferently, with no trace of emotion on her face. She closed her purse and got out of the chair. He stood up. "Uncle Shen, what I want to say has been made clear. Now it's time for you to make a decision. I hope that while I trust you, you can also trust me, because if we can cooperate, it will be great for us. There are benefits to both. I know you are busy with work, so I won’t bother you."
After Lin Xiangwan finished speaking, she was about to leave. Shen Congrong stood up and stopped her, "If I really promise you...Shen Shijun will hate me."
Lin Xiangwan trembled when she heard his words. She did not look back, but replied softly, "Senior brother will not hate you. No child will hate his parents. If he must hate...then he will hate you too." I."
If you have too many debts, don’t worry about them. If you have too many lice, don’t bite them. If you have more people who hate me, it’s not too much, and if you have one less person, it’s not too little.
Compared to him never forgetting me, I would rather he hate me.
Hate me and then forget about me.
Lin Xiangwan left Shen Congrong's office and instead of going back to Chu's house, she went back to her previous house.
The door was wide open, and chaotic footsteps came from the room.
Lin Xiangwan opened the door and saw Xu Yunqi packing up things.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time. When they saw each other, they were stunned. Lin Xiangwan covered her heart and said, "I thought someone was robbing my house, why is it you?"
Xu Yunqi pointed to a pile of packed things on the ground and said, "There are still a few pieces of clothing that have not been taken away. I borrowed a car from my friends today and took them away together. You just happened to be back, and I will give you the key to the house."
Lin Xiangwan nodded and told him to just put the key on the table. She turned around and walked into the room. After taking only two steps, she suddenly felt her wrist tighten.
Xu Yunqi grabbed her from behind and said to her, "Are you doing something dangerous?"
