When Yu Bo asked Xiao Zheng out for breakfast the next morning, Xiao Zheng had already eaten a box of instant noodles. He even added a country bumpkin's braised egg.
Yu Bo had no choice but to go straight to the point and talk to Xiao Zheng.
"Bureau Chief Yu sure has a lot of free time. You actually have time to talk to me early in the morning. "Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and drank the iced coffee in his cup.
"I have a mission. I can't do anything about it." Yu Bo smiled. The fight between the two of them last night faded away and they chatted peacefully.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Then, how do you plan to start today?"
"It's the same topic from yesterday. I hope Boss Xiao can answer it directly. "Yu Bo said lightly.
"Didn't I already answer it yesterday?" Xiao Zheng asked. "I don't think I hid anything from you, right?"
"That's far from enough." Yu Bo shook his head. "I need to know the details of Linghu Zhu's death."
"I can't say for sure." Xiao Zheng shook his head.
"Is it hard to say, or is Boss Xiao hiding something?" Yu Bo asked with a smile.
Everyone knew that Linghu Zhu's death was related to Xiao Zheng. Did Xiao Zheng do it himself or did he send someone to do it? Xiao Zheng was the only one who knew.
Whether he did it himself or sent someone to do it, as long as Xiao Zheng was willing to talk about the details, Yu Bo would be able to use it against him. If he didn't talk about it, he would be even more suspicious.
This was the theory that Yu Bo concluded last night. It was a bombshell.
"I'm not sure about the details." Tina killed Linghu Zhu. Of course, Xiao Zheng wouldn't betray Tina.
"Look, Boss Xiao still refuses to cooperate." Yu Bo said in a relaxed manner. It was as if victory was already in his grasp.
"Then, can I ask Bureau Chief Yu a question?" Xiao Zheng said with his eyes narrowed.
"Go ahead." Yu Bo smiled. "As long as I know, I will tell you everything."
"Since Bureau Chief Yu became the leader, how many benefits did you transfer to the Yuchi family? Or to put it bluntly, have you ever been an errand boy for the Yuchi family? "Xiao Zheng said word by word.
After he finished, Yu Bo's face turned ugly.
He didn't expect Xiao Zheng to be so bold as to openly expose the unspoken rules of the government. Moreover, his target was the Yuchi family.
Did he really think that with the support of the Hu Clan, he could be fearless and bite people like a mad dog?
"Mr. Xiao, do you know what you are talking about?" Director Yu's face darkened.
"I'm exposing your crimes," Xiao Zheng said slowly. "Unfortunately, Director Yu does not intend to cooperate."
"But, Bureau Chief Yu does not want to cooperate." Yu squinted his eyes.
There was a killing intent in Yu's Yu. Let's see if you've had any dealings with the Yuchi family in recent years, "Xiao Zheng said slowly.
"Did Boss Xiao find out anything?" Yu Bo asked coldly.
"The results are pretty good. Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "We have evidence of Director Yu's violation of the rules and regulations. "Bureau Chief Yu, you see, if you want to punish someone, how can you not have evidence? Do you have mine? If you have something, then show it as soon as possible. Otherwise, I was afraid that you wouldn't have the chance to investigate me, so I went in first. "
Yu Bo was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Boss Xiao, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
"I thought you were a brainless 50-year-old boy." Xiao Zheng shrugged. Then he smoked a cigarette and drank coffee. His demeanor was as calm as the wind and clouds.
Was he trying to scare Chief Yu?
No.
With Siyan and his group of brothers around, they would not be able to escape. It was not difficult to find out the facts of Director Yu's crimes. What's more, with Bureau Chief Zhang providing clues, it would be easier for Xiao Zheng to investigate.
Why wasn't he in a hurry to talk? Why did he choose to sleep here?
He was brewing a piece of good news that was beneficial to him and extremely unfavorable to the director.
Now that he had grasped Director Yu's fatal crimes, he really wanted to know how Director Yu and the Yuchi family planned to proceed.
Would they sacrifice themselves indiscriminately, or would they sacrifice their pawns to protect their chariot?
No matter what the result was, for Xiao Zheng, he had won the first battle. And unsurprisingly, Bureau Chief Zhang's defection had also paid off.
After Yu Bo stepped down, Bureau Chief Zhang might not be able to take his place. But with the political resources in Xiao Zheng's hands, the Yuchi family had no reason to refuse.
In this way, not only did Xiao Zheng not suffer any losses in this battle. On the contrary, he had gained the loyalty of a general.
In Siyan's investigation, Bureau Chief Zhang had relied on genuine ability and knowledge the entire way. It was just that at this position, without a strong enough background, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to climb up again.
And Xiao Zheng was an excellent opportunity for him. Once he was caught, he would soar. If he missed it, he would be mediocre.
In addition, it was worth mentioning that the political resources paid by the Yuchi family for the Yuchi Palace had long been controlled by the Hu family. It wasn't that the Yuchi family couldn't deny the debt if they turned hostile now.
Therefore, Xiao Zheng had no misgivings. He only needed to think of how to fight this battle.
It looked like this was a struggle between Xiao Zheng and the Yuchi family. But in reality, this was still a contest between the Yuchi family and the Hu family. He was only targeted by the Yuchi family and forced to be involved.
After listening to Xiao Zheng's explanation, Yu Bo didn't even finish a cup of coffee before quickly leaving the room.
It looked like he was going to report to the Yuchi family again.
This time, Xiao Zheng waited for a full half hour. Yu Bo then returned to the room.
It was different from last night when he came back with a relaxed face. Yu Bo's expression was ugly to the extreme. And full of discouragement.
It was very clear that Xiao Zheng's words had sounded the alarm bells for his opponents. So that they didn't dare to act recklessly.
"Boss Xiao, you can leave first. We will ask for your cooperation at any time in the follow-up investigation, "Yu Bo said very discontentedly.
He didn't want to let Xiao Zheng go just like that.
But after the information he gathered just now, he could basically confirm that Xiao Zheng did indeed have evidence against him.
And after getting the permission from the Yuchi family, he had no choice but to let Xiao Zheng go first.
He was very clear that letting Xiao Zheng stay would be extremely disadvantageous to him. And letting him go would also be very embarrassing for him.
But there was no other way. He didn't want to have a life and death struggle for the time being. And he didn't want to ruin the future of the Yuchi family's struggle.
"Go?" Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows. "Director Yu plans to let me go?"
"It's only temporary," Yu Bo said stubbornly. "If necessary, Boss Xiao will be asked to come back at any time to cooperate with the investigation."
These words were just to make himself look a bit more presentable. It basically had no practical meaning.
"Director Yu, have you thought it through?" Xiao Zheng didn't have the slightest bit of pride. Instead, he said with a smile. "I'm just afraid that Director Yu will regret letting me go."
"Why would I regret?" Yu Bo faintly felt uneasy.
"Because I've already submitted the evidence to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. If nothing unexpected happens, before lunch today, the comrades from the Commission for Discipline Inspection will come to talk to you. "Xiao Zheng said with narrowed eyes. His face was expressionless.
His first move was a killing move.
