Countless spotlights flashed, accompanied by the sound of snapping photos one after another. The scene was very lively and had been surrounded by media reporters.
Zhang Wenhai lowered his head and sat on the sofa with a pale face. Beside him sat his wife, Wang Yan, who also lowered her head.
"Mr. Zhang, why did you suddenly call for a press conference?"
"Is there more conclusive evidence to prove that Tong Wenbin took bribes?"
Zhang Wenhai suddenly raised his head and looked at the camera. He said anxiously, "Tong Wenbin didn't bribe me. He is honest and didn't take my money at all. He didn't know when I put the card in his bag. After he knew, he immediately returned the card to me."
The scene became silent in an instant. After a short silence, there was an uproar.
"You mean to say that you have wronged Tong Wenbin?"
"You repeatedly refuted your testimony. Which one is true and which one is false?"
"How can you deceive the public like this?"
"Can you still believe what you said?"
"Did Tong Wenbin's family bribe you behind his back, so you retracted his testimony?"
Zhang Wenhai knew that since the press conference had been held, there was no turning back. He said seriously, "Tong Wenbin's family didn't bribe me. The reason why I retracted my testimony and framed Tong Wenbin was because I received a bribe from Du Guohua. And the person who really accepted my bribe was Du Guohua. In the end, I got the project. It was Du Guohua who told me the base price."
The scene fell into a dead silence again. Soon, there was an uproar again.
"Du Guohua has always been an upright person. Why did you drag him into this?"
"Are you trying to drag the national officials into this?"
"Du Guohua and Tong Wenbin are best friends and colleagues. Why would he frame his friend?"
"You are obviously sowing discord."
"I didn't sowing discord. What I said is the truth." Zhang Wenhai tried his best to refute, "The army is about to elect a Secretary-General, and Tong Wenbin and Du Guohua are the most likely candidates for the position. In order to get rid of his dissidents, Du Guohua secretly wrote a report letter and pushed all the blame on Tong Wenbin.
When it happened, I panicked. Bribery was also a crime. Moreover, Tong Wenbin didn't take my money, so I told him the truth.
But yesterday morning, Du Guohua's butler came to me and asked me to cooperate with them to pull Tong Wenbin down. They promised me that after I was released from prison, I would be in charge of all the projects in the army. They also promised that this matter would only be solved within the army and would never be exposed. It would not affect my reputation, and my company would not be affected.
My bribery had been reported. No matter who the bribe was, I couldn't escape the punishment of the law. Since framing Tong Wenbin could be exchanged for wealth and glory for the rest of my life, I was blinded by greed. I agreed to their request and retracted my confession to frame Tong Wenbin.
However, Du Guohua went back on his words. He was afraid that things would change, so he exposed Tong Wenbin's matter. He wanted to use the pressure of public opinion to close the case as soon as possible.
After being exposed, my life and company were greatly affected. I also deeply realized how big of a mistake I had made. I blamed myself for being greedy. Everything that I had suffered was my own doing.
