Only then did I feel nervous. I immediately stopped him and said, "Wait a minute!"
He turned around and looked at me provocatively. I said to him coldly: "I'm warning you, from now on, whether it's me or my family, if we are harmed in any way, I will take the first step."
The suspect is you!
Just take care of yourself. I would like to advise you once again, don't play with fire. It will be very dangerous. Not only will you be put in jail, but it will also harm your children for life."
He said "hum" and went out.
But at this time, I didn't feel relieved at all. Instead, I felt a little regretful - how could I remind him of what he said just now? What if he really hurt my mother and child?
The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel.
After a while, I called Ruan Jie and said, "He's gone. He said he came to borrow money from me, but later it turned into a naked extortion. But I took the opportunity to tell him hard."
Dun. Ruan Jie, tell me, is he the kind of person who can do anything for money?"
She said: "How could this happen? Now he is really crazy. I don't know what kind of person he has become now, and I don't understand him anymore."
I said: "He still threatened me when he left, but I believe he will not do anything to me because he dare not. You and I are both single, and it is useless for him to threaten me with our relationship now.
Maybe he didn't think of this before he came to my place today. But I feel a little uneasy now, and I'm worried that he will hurt my family."
She immediately asked me: "Then what are you going to do?"
I did not answer her question, but immediately asked her: "Ruan Jie, will you move into my house today?"
She replied: "The transfer procedures have not been completed yet. It will take two days."
I said: "Well, you send your child to Zhenzhen's place in the evening. We will talk about this matter slowly after we meet. I have a party tonight. You go to my house and wait for me. After my party is over,
Come right over."
She seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Okay."
In the evening, we received a deputy director of the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs. He was a specially invited guest from the Civil Affairs Bureau. Because we are now asking for help from them, the deputy mayor in charge asked me to attend the reception dinner tonight.
It just seems like the specifications are higher.
Of course I understood the importance of this matter, so I agreed without hesitation. Although I did have something on my mind today, I felt that I should still focus on work.
Before eating, the deputy mayor in charge quietly said to me: "Mayor Feng, we may have to prepare a red envelope for the deputy director."
Of course I understood what he meant. If it was just a red envelope, he wouldn't come to ask me for advice. He could make the final decision on a matter of several thousand dollars. What he was talking about was actually a kickback.
In other words, if the province agrees to allocate a sum of funds to us, we should give the relevant leaders a sum of money to express our gratitude. This is an open secret.
I thought about it and said, "You can do whatever you want. But hasn't the money been transferred to our account yet?"
He said: "He already gave a verbal reply at the symposium in the afternoon, saying that the province agreed in principle with the instructions in our last application report. The next step is to transfer the money.
This is a rule. If we don't do that, then the money may never be transferred to our account. At that time, the superiors will definitely use various reasons to excuse the matter. Everyone knows this kind of thing
bright."
I nodded, "You can figure it out."
I only drank a small amount of wine in the evening, and the deputy director also drank less. In fact, as an official, drinking is an indispensable skill, but everyone depends on the occasion. If you are not particularly good,
When friends are together, they generally don’t drink a lot of wine. Wine is just a medium for communicating with each other and maintaining the atmosphere of the wine table.
The Civil Affairs Department also arranged activities for the deputy director in the evening. The so-called activities were singing and so on. Of course, such an arrangement would not cross the bottom line. At most, it would be to ask lesbians from several units to accompany him and sing.
Or dance or something.
I guess this is because the Department of Civil Affairs deliberately kept the deputy director because they couldn't give cash directly to people. They had to wait until the bank opened tomorrow before they could apply for a bank card and give it to the deputy director.
When I left, I wanted to explain something to the deputy director, "Sorry, I have a meeting tonight. Thank you for your strong support for our work in Shangjiang City..."
He said some polite words to me.
In fact, he knew very well that as the mayor here, it was already a high standard for me to come and have dinner with him, and if I also went to have fun with him, he would be uncomfortable.
After leaving the restaurant, I asked Xiao Sui to drive to the provincial capital.
When I was downstairs in the community, I could already see the light from the window of my house above. After knocking on the door, Ruan Jie quickly came and opened the door for me.
She looked a little less haggard in front of me. It was probably because her child returned to her that her mental state changed like this.
She said to me: "You're here so early? I'll get some water for you. You can take a bath first."
I shook my head and said, "Let's talk later. Let's talk about things first."
She said: "I have made tea for you. You can drink some water first."
At this time, I clearly felt that she had a flattering attitude toward me.
I took a sip of the tea she made for me, and then said to her softly: "Ruan Jie, don't be like this. This matter is not your fault, and you have no responsibility."
She shook her head slightly and said: "How come I don't have any responsibility? It was a mistake for me to marry him in the first place, and now my weakness is even more of a mistake. But I can only choose this way, I have no other choice.
Method."
I said: "I understand you. But Ruan Jie, this is not a solution to the problem. Now I think more and more that you shouldn't do this. After I met this person today, my opinion became more and more determined."
Already.
Ruan Jie, to be honest, I didn’t expect your ex-husband to look so handsome, and what I can’t understand even more is how a man like him could do such a thing? I was on my way to the provincial capital just now
I have been thinking about this issue and now I seem to understand it somewhat.
I think he has always thought that he is very good in his heart, so he is unwilling to do things that others think are normal. And I think his thinking must be deeply ingrained and difficult to change.
Therefore, in such a situation, a person like him may be able to do anything. Ruan Jie, like you, I value my family more than myself, so I don’t want something to happen
It will really happen.
Especially now that I've realized that something like that is very likely to happen."
She asked me: "Then what are you going to do?"
Yes, what should I do? In fact, this is something that has always made me hesitate. Because of this, I must talk to Ruan Jie alone tonight about this matter.
Today, when Ruan Jie's ex-husband came to my office, I have been thinking about this problem. Then I suddenly thought of a way, because I found that what happened this time was almost the same as something I had encountered before.
of.
Tang Zi's husband once threatened me like this. But at that time, I didn't have as many worries as I do now.
Therefore, I think the best way to deal with such people is to treat them like last time. That way is more effective than sending them to jail.
If we report the case now, on the one hand, it will involve a lot of people, which will not be good for Ruan Jie or Secretary Leng. It will definitely have some impact on me. The time is getting closer and closer to the official election of the National People's Congress as the mayor.
It's been a long time, and I don't want anything to happen that damages my prestige.
But this matter must be approved by Ruan Jie, or I must convince her before implementing my idea. This is not only a kind of respect for her, but also because I don’t want her to have any doubts about this matter.
I became hostile. Anyway, she and her ex-husband once had real feelings, and she still can't completely forget him.
Although she told me that she was so intolerable because of the guilt in her heart, I knew very well that this was just one aspect of her heart, and perhaps more of an excuse to deceive herself.
.
I looked at her, "Ruan Jie, have you ever thought about it? If he keeps going like this, he will go to jail one day, because such money is so easy to come by, so once he gets the benefits, he will never be able to keep it.
Now I am sure that since he came to me today, it is very likely that he has gone to find someone else and got what he wanted. He did not get it from me today. This is mainly because I am not afraid of him.
Threatening, because he can't threaten me at all.
If you and him have not divorced and I have my own marriage, then the situation will be completely different.
Think about it, if one day he really goes to jail for blackmail, then some people will definitely be implicated, and you will be implicated directly. And your children.
.Ruan Jie, think about it, if he really goes to jail, how much of a shadow will it have on your children in the future? This may ruin your children's lives.
I have studied psychology and I know very well how much influence parents have on their children's lives. Low self-esteem can lead to abnormal psychology and even extreme behavior. This is the most common problem for children after accidents in many families.
.”
She kept listening when I said this, and her face became paler and paler. When I finished speaking, she asked me: "Then what do you think I should do?" (To be continued)
