As a direct leader, Director Zhang's attitude toward the leader was actually worth pondering.
Which deputy leader would be so cold to the leader? Without the slightest respect?
Unless Director Zhang was extremely dissatisfied with the leader, or even hated him.
In fact, Director Zhang really hated the leader in front of him.
Many years ago, they entered the system together and worked together for most of their lives. Over the years, they had been in a competitive relationship. At a certain stage, Director Zhang was even the leader of the leader, Yu Bo. It was a pity that the river flows east for thirty years and then west for thirty years. Things like Fengshui always changed.
Ever since Yu Bo connected with the Yuchi family, his official fate went against the current. Not only did he surpass Director Zhang, but he also took away the position that should have belonged to Director Zhang.
Of course, this was Bureau Chief Zhang's opinion. Even if Yu Bo did not have the support of the Yuchi family, he might not lose to Director Zhang. But there were no ifs in this kind of thing. A loss was a loss, and there were indeed traces of the Yuchi family's manipulation.
It was no wonder that Director Zhang did not have a good impression of the current leader. Moreover, he was blatantly trying to steal someone from the wall.
Yu Bo obviously did not care about Director Zhang's sarcasm. As a winner, he always had to appear magnanimous. He quickly hid his displeasure and nodded faintly. "You go back first."
Like swatting a fly, he calmly drove away Director Zhang.
Bureau Chief Zhang's sarcasm only made Yu Bo a little unhappy. But Yu Bo's attitude instantly stirred up the most primitive anger in Director Zhang's heart.
This was the gap brought about by the level. It was also a big stone that had always been pressing in Director Zhang's heart.
After watching Director Zhang leave the room, Xiao Zheng's eyes fell on Yu Bo's face. But he did not speak, just waiting for the director to continue.
What was the National Security Agency?
It was a unit related to domestic and foreign security issues, under the jurisdiction of the State Council, a ministerial unit.
Although it was not as evil as portrayed in movies and television, the power itself was definitely not small. In the past, Xiao Zheng had dealt with the military and the State Council's Guard Bureau many times. But he had never had anything to do with the National Security Agency. Being targeted this time was really an undeserved disaster.
"Boss Xiao, please take a seat." Yu Bo didn't take advantage of his position to bully others. Of course, the premise was that Xiao Zheng's identity and background meant that Yu Bo would not be too presumptuous.
Even if the other party was a merchant, he was definitely a red-top merchant with a heavy sword. Not to mention a department head like him, even a national leader who was half a rank higher than him might not be able to suppress Xiao Zheng.
This was the confidence that Xiao Zheng, who was not even thirty-five years old, possessed. A big shot who had truly entered the top of the pyramid.
Xiao Zheng sat back on the sofa and looked at Yu Bo with a smile.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move.
This was Xiao Zheng's basic policy.
"I think Boss Xiao already knows the topic of our conversation, right?" Yu Bo said slowly. His face, which had regained its calmness, still revealed a faint coldness.
"I'm not sure." Xiao Zheng shook his head and said calmly. "I was about to sleep at home when I was brought here by Director Yu's men. If there isn't a good explanation — "
"I'll be very unhappy."
It had to be said that Xiao Zheng did not use up all the political resources that he had snatched from the Yuchi family in one go. If he exerted himself, it was not impossible to topple this cold and gloomy director in front of him.
Of course, this matter was very important and required the Hu family's cooperation. It was definitely impossible to rely on him alone as a merchant.
Yu Bo acted as if he did not hear Xiao Zheng's last words of warning and said in a relaxed manner, "I will definitely give Boss Xiao a satisfactory answer."
Then, he changed the topic and asked, "Boss Xiao and Linghu Zhu are good friends. This is something that everyone in the capital knows. Am I right? "
Xiao Zheng did not expect Yu Bo to get straight to the point so quickly. He said slowly, "We did have a good relationship in the past."
"Then why did they turn against each other?" Yu Bo asked.
"What other reason can businessmen turn against each other?" Xiao Zheng did not directly answer and asked a question in return.
"Of course, it was only a matter of profit," Yu Bo said in a relaxed manner. "As far as I know, many businessmen will not only turn against each other for the sake of profit, but they will also play dirty behind the scenes."
"So, this is the reason why Director Yu wants to ask about the bomb." Xiao Zheng did not hide anything and said it in one sentence.
Yu Bo's thoughts were instantly disrupted when he heard that.
He had wanted to gradually find out Xiao Zheng's trump card. But he didn't expect that Xiao Zheng wouldn't give him a chance at all and directly spilled the beans on this matter.
This surprised Yu Bo, and he didn't know how to continue.
But soon, he calmed himself down and continued to ask, "So, is this the cause of Linghu Zhu's death?"
"What do you mean, Director Yu?" Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was a meaningful smile on his lips.
"Linghu Zhu is dead. It happened on the same night as the bomb case. And according to what we know, Linghu Zhu invited Boss Xiao to dinner that night. "Yu Bo looked at Xiao Zheng. "Boss Xiao can't deny this, right?"
"Director Yu, are you saying that I killed him?" Xiao Zheng smiled.
"Is there any other possibility?" Yu Bo pressed on.
"At that time, he wanted to kill me with a bomb." Xiao Zheng frowned slightly and said word by word. "I also know that there is a legal explanation for this. It is self-defense."
This was Xiao Zheng's explanation.
He would not say anything more, nor would he say anything less.
As for how Yu Bo would interpret it, it was his own problem. Xiao Zheng could not control it, and he did not care.
There was no real evidence, and no eyewitness would report him. Moreover, there were no eyewitnesses in the entire incident. Would Tina betray him?
After weighing the pros and cons, Yu Bo fell into deep thought.
He did not expect the conversation to go so smoothly. There was no psychological warfare at all. Xiao Zheng was so innocent that he seemed like a child without any schemes. Whatever Yu Bo asked, he would answer. He did not hide anything, and he even took the initiative to cooperate.
Look at his resolve. There was no need to torture him.
However, Xiao Zheng's actions made the problem even more difficult to deal with.
How should Yu Bo deal with it?
The bomb case could not be pushed to Xiao Zheng.
The murder case. Even if Xiao Zheng accepted everything, no one would be able to provide evidence. It would be difficult to defeat Xiao Zheng using this point.
Moreover, if he really did it, it would completely infuriate Xiao Zheng. The loss outweighed the gain.
Yu Bo pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "Boss Xiao, have some snacks first. I will go and ask for instructions."
Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Zheng's voice sounded behind him. "Say hi for me."
