Huang Zeke glared at Wu Liangmin in disgust. He took out an envelope from his briefcase and held it in his hand. However, he didn't rush to hand it to Wu Liangmin. Instead, he pointed at Lu Tao and said, "First, tell Division Chief Lu why did your wife and child run away? Where are they living now? Why don't you go find them? "
Wu Liangmin stared at the envelope with greedy eyes and muttered, "How would I know where they are? It's not my fault, why would I go find them? Mayor Huang, I haven't eaten in two days, please give me the money. I need to go to the grocery store to buy something to fill my stomach. I'm so hungry right now I'm dizzy! "
Huang Zeke hit the nail on the head and said, "I'm afraid you're not dizzy from hunger, but from gambling! Let me ask you, if you don't have money to eat, then how do you have money to buy alcohol? People like you don't deserve the government's help! "
Wu Liangmin hurriedly explained, "Mayor Huang, I got all my alcohol on credit. I still owe the shop more than a hundred dollars for the alcohol. If you don't believe me, you can ask Auntie Yuan at the shop. If I tell a lie, I'll be struck to death by lightning!"
Huang Zeke handed the envelope to him. He tore it open like it was a treasure and pulled out a few bills. He greedily put the bills under his nose and sniffed them. Then, he quickly stuffed the money into the trouser pocket of his suit shorts, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away …
Huang Zeke winked at Lu Tao and then asked Wu Liangmin, "Do you really want section chief Lu to help you?"
Wu Liangmin froze for a moment and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Yes, of course I do! The local tax bureau is the God of Wealth. Even a hair is thicker than my thigh. As long as section chief Lu is willing to help me and get more funds from your bureau, I'll definitely get rid of my bad habits of drinking and playing cards. I'll feed a nest of chickens and two pigs at home and earn money through labor. I won't embarrass section chief Lu and the local tax bureau. "
Huang Zeke naturally knew that Wu Liangmin's words were nonsense, but he didn't expose him. Instead, he suddenly put on a stern face and asked, "Wu Liangmin, according to the public, your wife Su Lihong is now living in Songshan, driving a luxury car, living in a villa, and your eldest son is still in kindergarten at an elite school. What is going on? If the public's reaction is true, you are a fake poor person who is suspected of cheating the state's poverty relief funds and aid funds. Not only will the government cancel your poverty relief quota, but it may also put you in jail. Do you understand? "
Wu Liangmin was shocked. He stared at the solemn Huang Zeke, dumbfounded. After a while, he stammered, "Mayor Huang, this is a rumor created by people who are jealous of me. Their purpose is to get the government to cancel my poverty relief quota. Please don't believe them. If my wife was really living in a villa and driving a luxury car, would I still look like a hungry ghost who doesn't look like a ghost? "
Speaking up to this point, he swallowed his saliva and blinked his small eyes strenuously before continuing, "Since the two of you are asking about this, I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself. My wife thinks that I don't work hard and can't earn money to support the family. She asked for a divorce a long time ago, but I refused. In order to get a divorce, she took the two kids back to her mother's house. I went to find her not long ago, and my mother-in-law said that she took the kids to the big city to work. As for where they went, they don't know. This is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can go to my mother-in-law's house and investigate. "
When Lu Tao heard his watertight words, he knew that someone had told him in advance to prevent people from asking about his wife. It looks like it won't be easy to get the truth out of him …
Huang Zeke also realized this and blinked at Lu Tao again. He turned to Wu Liangmin and said, "Your wife is living a luxurious life in Songshan city. This is something that people have seen with their own eyes. I don't believe that you don't know anything about it. I have to remind you that if you want to form a partnership with Section Chief Lu and get support funds from the local tax bureau, you have to tell him the truth about your family's situation. This includes the whereabouts of your wife and kids, their current living conditions, and so on! Otherwise, don't even mention forming a partnership with Section Chief Lu, some of the support and aid you currently receive will be canceled. I have something to do in town right now. You can have a good chat with Section Chief Lu. "
Then, he left Wu Liangmin's house with his briefcase.
After Wu Liangmin sent Huang Zeke off, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Tao's hand. He shook it affectionately and said with a hopeful tone, "Section Chief Lu, form a partnership with me! I won't hide it from you. When I was young, I was a famous person in Taolin county. Now, many of the 'big brothers' on the streets are actually my underlings. I'm lame because my hamstring was picked by one of my underlings. Don't think that I'm not doing very well right now. Once I get to Taolin county, I can still handle most of the things in the underworld. If you form a partnership with me and help me, then you'll be my big brother in the future. If you run into any trouble in the county, all you have to do is look for me and I'll be able to solve it for you! "
Lu Tao almost vomited from the stench of alcohol coming out of his mouth. He could only take a step back and resist the nausea. He said coldly, "Sorry, I don't mix in the underworld. I don't dare to mix with the hooligans on the streets. If there's nothing, I won't trouble you."
As he said this, he took out two photos from his briefcase and handed them to Wu Liangmin. He asked seriously, "Look at these three people. Who are they? Are they your wife and two sons? "
Wu Liangmin was shocked. He quickly took the photos and looked at them carefully. In the first photo, his' wife 'Su Lihong was holding the two children as they walked out of a villa. There was a BMW parked in front of the villa. In the second photo, Su Lihong was opening the door of the BMW and carrying the two children to the back seats.
Wu Liangmin stared at the two photos for a long time. Before he could explain to Lu Tao, a few fierce-looking men suddenly rushed into the living room and surrounded him and Lu Tao.
One of the men, who was wearing a thick gold chain around his neck and had two ferocious green dragons tattooed on his arm, grabbed Wu Liangmin's thin neck and shouted with his eyes wide open, "Crutch Liang, are you going to pay me back or not? If you don't pay me back today, I'll pick your other hamstring. Do you believe me? "
Wu Liangmin's eyes turned white from his grip. He struggled with all his might and begged, "Third Brother, please let go of my hand. I'll call my cousin right away and ask him to send the money back to you!"
