The Old Friends Club was a teahouse located in the upper reaches of Shen Jiang. There was no disguised mahjong or pai gow, nor any other disguised services, but there was always a good flow of customers. Many successful people over 50 years old liked to have tea and chat with one or two old friends in this place, simply to enjoy the quietness of this place.
It could be said that the people here all wanted to relax physically and mentally. But when Wang Yang stepped into this teahouse, his mood was extremely complicated. It was not easy to get to the position of deputy mayor of Shen Jiang City. Only he himself knew how much pressure there was behind his official career that no one knew about.
Wang Yang had naturally heard about Yonghe's appearance in Shen Jiang. Otherwise, he would not have appeared in the police conference room to meet Ma Zhangbang that day. However, Wang Yang did not expect that Yonghe would take the initiative to contact him and ask him out for a gathering. This was not a good thing for Wang Yang. However, he had to appear in this place, because some relationships could not be changed.
"Mayor Wang, our boss is waiting for you in the room inside." Ah Guang saw Wang Yang appear in the teahouse and immediately went up to him.
Wang Yang glanced at Ah Guang coldly, then walked to a quiet single room in the teahouse without hesitation. He pushed the door and entered. When he saw Yonghe sitting on the sofa and sipping tea, he could not help but feel an inexplicable anger in his heart. "Yonghe! I said a long time ago that I don't care what choice you make, but don't drag me down with you! We are not the same kind of people! "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I say, cousin, as a deputy mayor, you have a different attitude. Are you looking down on ordinary people like us?" Yonghe laughed. He was not angry at all. He pointed to the sofa opposite the tea table and said, "I just feel that we haven't seen each other for a long time. I just happened to pass by Shen Jiang, so I wanted to catch up with you."
"You passed by Shen Jiang? Hmph, don't think that I don't know what you want to do! " Wang Yang said angrily, "There is nothing to talk about between us. I came here just to tell you one thing. If you still care about family, don't drag me down with you!"
Yonghe said with an ugly expression, "Cousin, aren't you hurting our feelings by saying that? When I was young, I grew up following behind you all day long. I still remember what my aunt said very clearly. She said that you are the older brother, so it is natural for you to take care of me, the younger brother. You can't possibly forget what she entrusted you with just because my aunt has passed away, right? "
"You still have the face to say that?" Wang Yang glared and said, "My mother loved you so much at that time, but what did you do? You didn't even come to kowtow when she passed away! "
"Cousin, I have my own difficulties. There will be so many people at that time, and if I appear, it will have a huge impact on your career." Yonghe smiled bitterly. "I'm doing this for your sake, so don't misunderstand me."
Wang Yang was too lazy to argue with him. "If you really care about me, then you shouldn't have asked me out now! He shouldn't have come to Shen River to stir up trouble! Let me tell you, no matter what you do, I won't be able to help you in Shen Jiang. I won't be able to protect you. I've made myself very clear. Think about it carefully. "
Yonghe was stunned. "And then?"
"I have a lot of things to deal with! I don't have time to waste with you here. "Wang Yang said," Listen to my advice, it's best for you to leave Shen Jiang immediately! "
After that, Wang Yang got up and prepared to leave. Yonghe wasn't in a hurry. He continued to pour tea slowly and savor the fragrance of the tea. When Wang Yang opened the door, he said lightly, "Cousin, I heard that my nephew is taking the university entrance exam this year. The quality of education in Shen Jiang University Affiliated High School is so good. Maybe he has a chance to be admitted? He's also in the elite class, so there shouldn't be a problem, right? "
Wang Yang's foot that was about to step out trembled in mid-air.
"Sister-in-law is also doing well recently? I heard that the Environmental Protection Bureau will organize a group of hardworking personnel to travel to Sanya in a few days. I also know a few friends in Sanya. Do you want me to call them and let them treat her well? " Yonghe's face was full of smiles as if he was chatting about some trivial matters. There was no threat at all.
Wang Yang closed the door, turned around, and stared at Yonghe. "You're also a member of the underworld. After such a long time, don't you understand the principle of not harming family members? And that's your sister-in-law and nephew. Do you still have any humanity?! "
Yonghe had an innocent expression. "Cousin, what do you mean? What did I say? I didn't say anything. I'm just reminiscing about old times with you. You don't have to be so hostile to me, right? "
"Reminiscing about old times?" Wang Yang's eyes were about to burst into flames. "Let me tell you, if you want to know something, I really can't help you. First, I'm not in charge of social security at all, and I'm not familiar with the people in the city police station. If you want me to inquire about something, I don't have the ability to do so."
Yonghe saw that Wang Yang had already exposed the window paper, so he didn't beat around the bush. "Cousin, you and I are very clear that it's impossible for me to not attract the attention of the police when I appear in Shen Jiang with my identity. I didn't ask you to help me with anything. For so many years, I've never asked you to do anything against the rules, right? Do you think I'm the kind of person who will drag you down with me? It's because I care about old times, about family, about my aunt's kindness to me, and about how you took care of me when I was a child! "
"Then why did you ask me to come here?!" Wang Yang said agitatedly. "If you really care about these things, then you wouldn't have come to Shen Jiang to disturb my life!"
Yonghe didn't speak. He waited until Wang Yang calmed down before saying, "Cousin, if I could, I wouldn't want to either. But I'm different from you. You're a national civil servant. You have a lot of power in your hands, and you don't have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of your life. Usually, you can get things that ordinary people can't get with just a word or a red mark. I'm also a human, and I have to earn money to live. You can't just watch me starve to death … "
"Starve to death? Do you think I don't know how much money you have?! Do you think I don't know about all the profiteering you've done? " Wang Yang said, "Yonghe, if you really treat me as your cousin, then listen to my advice and retire early. You can choose to go to Canada, Australia, or Europe or America. If you want to immigrate to any country, I can help you think of a way."
"Cousin, you really take care of me. Hahaha, after sending me away, you don't have to worry about me troubling you anymore?" Yonghe said, "Alright, I know your thoughts better than anyone else! But let me tell you, I, Yonghe, am not someone who's willing to be mediocre. Since I came to find you today, I must have something to ask of you. "
Wang Yang took a deep breath. "Alright, alright. Tell me, what do you want?"
Yonghe said calmly, "Cousin, don't be so nervous. You think I'm a bad person. Actually, I'm not disloyal to you. You just need to reveal some information to me, and I'll give you ten million. This money should be enough for my nephew to study abroad after he graduates from university, right? "
Wang Yang pulled a long face. "How much discipline do you want me to commit before you're willing to pay so much money? Yonghe, let me tell you, the higher-ups are investigating the officials for bribery and dereliction of duty. I definitely won't take the risk because of this. "
"Cousin, can you not speak in a bureaucratic tone in front of me? Do you think I don't know what kind of morals you officials have? I've interacted with many leaders, big and small. I know what kind of morals you have! " Yonghe spat. "I won't waste so much time with you. I want to know a person's background. Think of a way to help me find out."
"Who?" Wang Yang was stunned.
"That Young Master Xu who has the ability to get Ye Fala out of prison!" Yonghe said. "I want to know the background of this person."
Wang Yang was stunned. "Get Ye Fala out of prison?! Who did you hear that from? How is that possible?! Ye Fala is a felon. It's already a good result that she wasn't sentenced to death. Get out? How is that possible?! Let me tell you, you're the same as her. If you're caught, you can forget about getting out for the rest of your life. Don't think of so many crooked ideas! "
"Shut up!" Yonghe sternly interrupted Wang Yang's reprimand. "After so many years, you should understand me. I never speak without evidence. Ye Fala was released. I saw it with my own eyes! Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to find you. You have to tell me the identity of that Young Master Xu! "
Wang Yang was very surprised. "That's impossible!"
"Don't tell me it's impossible!" Yonghe sneered. "If he has the ability, he must have bribed all of your connections. No matter what, you're a dignified deputy mayor of Shen Jiang. If you say you don't know, do you think I'm a primary school student? Cousin, although I'm not smart and I'm not good at studying, I'm not stupid at all. "
Wang Yang's mind buzzed. He suddenly thought of what happened at the police station that day …
"I said, I really don't know." Wang Yang said. "If you saw it with your own eyes, it can only mean that Ye Fala's backer is indeed very capable. How could such a person look up to a mere deputy mayor like me? Even if someone knew about this and did something, it must be the secretary's doing … Yonghe, you better not cause trouble for me. "
Yonghe smiled. "Cousin, I said, I didn't come to Shen Jiang to cause trouble for you. I came to give you money. No matter what, I'll give you time to find out. You have to help me. "
Wang Yang stared at Yonghe. Yonghe didn't look away at all. The two of them stared at each other for a full minute.
In the end, Wang Yang gave in. Yong He was his cousin, and he had watched Yong He grow up. He knew better than anyone what kind of person Yong He was. Yong He was a person who would be ruthless to achieve his own goals.
"I … I'll do my best." Wang Yang let out a long sigh of relief.
Yonghe wasn't satisfied with this answer. "I don't want you to do your best. Cousin, I want you to be sure, certain, and certain. You'll definitely do it for me, right? Hehehe, if you don't know anything and can't speak to the secretary … You might as well go to the prison where Ye Fala is locked up and take a look. I believe that a divisional level warden will definitely be respectful to you, right? "
Wang Yang was completely immersed in his thoughts. Yonghe's pressure made him unable to breathe.
"Cousin, it's settled then. I'll call my friends in Sanya later. When sister-in-law goes, they must treat her well." Yonghe smiled slightly. "As for what level of treatment it is, it depends on your performance. Hahaha, you definitely want sister-in-law to have an unforgettable journey, right? "
Wang Yang clenched his fists tightly. "Yonghe, if you dare to touch my family, I will definitely not forgive you!"
