He glanced at me, sighed and said: "You... forget it, I won't say anything to you. By the way, what did Xiaojie say to you after she asked you to go out before dinner? This kid
, I don’t want to tell me many things. Feng Xiao, can you tell me?"
I was suddenly in a dilemma: Judging from the tone of Dong Jie's words to me, she didn't seem to tell Lin Yi that she wanted Zhuang Qing to star in the TV series she invested in. This matter is actually relatively easy to understand, after all, it involves Xia Lan
.Some people say that colleagues are enemies, and it seems that Dong Jie has also thought of this.
But now Lin Yi comes to ask me about this matter, which makes me feel embarrassed, because I think it is better for Dong Jie to tell Lin Yi about things like this, and Dong Jie specially called me outside to talk about this.
This thing in itself shows that she doesn't want Lin Yi or Xia Lan to know about it. Or she doesn't want them to know about it for the time being. If I tell this matter, it seems to be a betrayal of Dong Jie's trust in me.
But Lin Yi is asking me now, and I also understand Lin Yi's inner thoughts very well: At that time, he agreed that Dong Jie and I would go out together not because of other reasons, but because he didn't want Dong Jie to be unhappy. But he didn't want me and Dong Jie to go too far.
Recently, this is the truest thought in his heart, which he once clearly told me.
I pondered, and then said: "Uncle Lin, Dong Jie wants me to help her with something, and this matter is related to her work. I have already contacted her on her behalf. You should ask her yourself about this matter."
Well. Uncle Lin, I'm sorry, Dong Jie doesn't seem to have many friends, so I don't want her to distrust me in the future. This matter doesn't need to be kept secret, but if I tell it, it will be different. At least it will make Dong Jie
I feel unhappy.”
He immediately laughed, "That's it. Forget it, don't say it. Actually, I'm just curious enough to ask you this. Feng Xiao, in fact, you have some questions you want to ask me. Don't you?
Don't you deny that I don't know you?
It's okay, you can ask whatever questions you want. Don't worry, I will answer you truthfully. This is to satisfy your curiosity and to let you know me better. On the other hand, I also want to learn from
You have learned some other people's views on me. In the final analysis, you are getting some information. This is fair, right? Feng Xiao, look at me, I have told you the truth, so you should do the same, right?"
I immediately felt: In fact, after what he said so much before, the ultimate goal of going around in such a big circle is still here. From this, it seems that my thoughts before coming here were correct. But his words were very sincere,
And it's very straightforward.
But I still feel a kind of vigilance in my heart, because I know he can't be that simple. What's more, I have experienced so many things, and I have been in the officialdom for a long time.
Maybe it will be as simple as before.
But what he had said had come to this point, and I had no choice but to face it. I had to tentatively ask him the first question, "Uncle Lin, I heard someone saying that Ning Xiangru was actually forced to go abroad by you.
Yes, and some people say that your purpose is to merge her company. Haha! I support what others say, but of course I don’t believe it."
He nodded and said: "Actually, I have long thought that someone would think so. Feng Xiao, let me tell you the truth, merging Ning Xiangru's company is indeed my purpose. After all, her company is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is good.
Several pieces of land in good locations were obtained by her.
This woman is very powerful. After you introduced her to Yang Shuguang, she met the director of the Department of Land and Resources through Yang Shuguang's relationship. This made me feel a lot of pressure. In the final analysis, real estate development relies on bank funds, and
To rely on bank funds, we must obtain valuable land. The rapid expansion of Ning Xiangru's company puts our Jiangnan Group in danger of breaking the capital chain.
However, there is a prerequisite for my annexation of her company, that is, something has happened to her. To be precise, she was involved in Yang Shuguang's accident. On the one hand, I went to save her because of your persuasion. More importantly,
I wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with the director of the Department of Land and Resources. My relationship with this person has never been particularly good.
Feng Xiao, you should have thought that once something happens to Ning Xiangru, the next person most likely to be implicated is the director. Therefore, I can achieve multiple goals with one stone by doing this. Moreover, I promised Ning Xiangru herself
All conditions presented.
This woman is actually very smart. She did not ask me for a price that was too high. On the contrary, the price she proposed was very reasonable. And she also understood that if she continued to stay in the country, she would definitely be involved in a deeper background, so she was still right at the time.
I made a request, that is, I asked me to complete the procedures for her and her family to settle abroad in the shortest possible time, and also asked me to transfer all her assets abroad. I met all of her conditions.
, it was all done for her in a very short period of time. Feng Xiao, do you think I took advantage of the situation?"
I shook my head, "So that's it... Uncle Lin, did your company really have a funding problem? So how did you come up with the money Ning Xiangru requested? I know.
Yes, her company is not worth a little bit of money."
He sighed and said: "Yes. When Shi Yanni divorced me, she took half of my property, and then so many things happened, she asked me for another 100 million in exchange. The company's expansion in recent years has been
It’s too fast. My funds are already very tight... Of course Ning Xiangru wants a lot of money, and it will also cost a lot to transfer her money abroad in a short period of time.
Money, because the country has very strict controls on funds flowing abroad.
So I can only take a variety of methods. Forget it, I won’t tell you the details. After all, those methods are suspected of money laundering. It’s not good for you to know, because you are an official. If someone accuses you of not reporting the knowledge, it will be worse.
Trouble. In short, I am worthy of her Ning Xiangru in this matter, and your face is actually involved in this matter. Now, my five-star hotel and several other properties of mine have been mortgaged to the bank.
Only then did we get the money Ning Xiangru asked for."
Of course, the things he talked about about Shi Yanni’s exchange with him also included things about my child. Although he didn’t say it out loud, I already understood it completely. I said to him sincerely: “Thank you, Uncle Lin.
You have done so much for me, but I am doubting you. I feel very ashamed of this."
He waved his hand at me and said: "In the final analysis, this is due to the lack of communication between us. Feng Xiao, I am very nostalgic for old relationships, so I don't want any estrangement between us. Today I want to be sincere with you."
This is also the purpose of our conversation. In fact, I also know that you may be greatly influenced by Tong Yao. I have also understood for a long time that Tong Yao has been doubting me. When she introduced Tong Yangxi to my company through you, she came to work in our company.
In fact, her purpose was already very clear from the beginning. Although I, Lin Yi, have many shortcomings, I will not do anything illegal. But what I can't understand is why this Tong Yao always doubts me.
?”
I was speechless for a moment.
He was looking at me, "Feng Xiao, actually you are also doubting me, right? Including the matter of Tong Yangxi, and the recent matter of Shi Yanni being wanted by the police. Do you think those things that happened in the past should have something to do with me?
no?"
He actually forced me to the point where I had to say something, so I could no longer avoid or hide. I nodded, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Shi is your ex-wife after all, and Shangguanqin is your secretary. There are some things that you can't
It’s impossible to say that you know nothing at all, right?”
He nodded and said: "Yes. The police think so too. They told me this when they summoned me for investigation. But I really don't know. At least I didn't know anything before those things happened. It's just that
I had to do something for them afterwards.
A company as big as Jiangnan Group has been my life's work. Shi Yanni is my wife. She has shared the joys and sorrows with me for so many years. How can such feelings be completely erased at once? I divorced her. Among the reasons
It also has something to do with the fact that she did something I didn't know about, and it was completely illegal.
So I directly had a showdown with her at that time. I told her that if we didn't divorce, my company and myself might be implicated one day. Feng Xiao, actually, I have divorced her before.
I didn’t tell you the truth. I told you that Shi Yanni divorced me because she was angry after something like that happened to Doudou and me. This is not the case. In fact, I had already reached a verbal agreement with Shi Yanni before I dated Doudou.
agreement.
But no one can fathom a woman’s thoughts, but she later regretted it, which is why she did so many things.”
I felt that there were many loopholes in his words, so I tentatively asked him again, "Uncle Lin, you said that what happened to Tong Yangxi was actually done by Aunt Shi? She also did the opium farm behind your back.
Something to do?”
He nodded.
I couldn't help but ask: "But why? Why would she do such things?"
He was silent for a moment, and after a while he sighed and said: "She has intermittent mental illness. Whenever she has an attack, she will have hallucinations. Before she recognized Xiaonan, she had always regarded Shangguanqin as her daughter.
Already.
I remember that the first time she met Shangguanqin, she happened to be ill. As a result, she hugged Shangguanqin and cried, and kept calling her daughter's childhood name. Shangguanqin was very embarrassed at the time, and later I told Shi Yanni about her condition.
Maybe she and Shangguan Qin were moved by Shi Yanni? Anyway, privately, the two of them recognized each other as mother and daughter.
In fact, I can't understand the things Shi Yanni did. As a mentally ill person, who can understand her heart? The last time she took the risk again and came back to take away your child, it wasn't because she abandoned her when she was a child.
What about the sequelae after having children?
There is also the matter of Tong Yangxi. In fact, I also very much suspect that Shangguanqin did it. Shangguanqin is already dead, and the police are already suspecting that Shi Yanni instigated Doudou’s death. I can’t let the police increase their suspicion of Shi Yanni.
, so I had to do some remedial work for her. The police still don’t know that Shi Yanni suffers from intermittent mental illness. I am Shi Yanni’s former husband and her guardian. If the police know something
If Shi Yanni did it, I am jointly and severally responsible.
So I do some things to protect myself. Feng Xiao, you will never understand me as Shi Yanni’s husband, and you will never know the pain in my heart. Maybe you will think that there is a lot in what I just said.
The loopholes, even logically, cannot stand scrutiny, but I tell you, this is the fact.
Of course, maybe I shouldn't tell you these things. After all, it's not good for you if you know. I have only one purpose, and that is to hope that you can believe me. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but in my heart
I really hope you can believe me. For people like me, nothing is more important now than those close to me believing in me. You think so?"
He is right. There are indeed many loopholes in his words, and some things do not stand up to logical scrutiny. But what he said next is even more correct: it doesn't actually matter whether I believe him or not.
But he told me all this, maybe he really needed someone to understand his current situation. What's more, the police released him after questioning him, which shows that the police did not have any evidence to prove that he had committed a crime.
.And to me, this is the most important thing.
I said: "Uncle Lin, what did you just say to me? I don't seem to remember. I think you are sitting here drinking tea and chatting with me at this time, which explains everything.
But Uncle Lin, have you ever thought about it? Since you are now facing suspicion from the police, why haven’t you thought about living abroad like Ning Xiangru? After all, it’s not easy to live under suspicion by the police like now? "
But he was shaking his head and sighing at the same time. (To be continued)
