Song Chaoyang shook his head and said, "I didn't directly agree, nor did I refuse. I only said that I would think about it. This is related to Huo Zhisong, so I have to be careful. Li Ming is one of my people, but he was actually taken down by Huo Zhisong and that old fox. Now, they are working together to make progress. Isn't this the same as riding on my neck first? Seeing that I didn't respond, they started to piss again. How can I tolerate this? "
Li Rui thought for a while and gave him advice, "If you want to take revenge on Huo Zhisong for his little tricks against Li Ming, then we can secretly search for evidence of Huo Zhisong's illegal activities. When the old fox nominates Huo Zhisong at the next standing committee meeting, we can ruthlessly slap him in the face. This will not only vent our anger and hatred, but also prevent him from promoting a sick official. But if we want to deal with a giant like Han Shui, we might as well be patient. Let the old fox and Huo Zhisong succeed first. When they are complacent and relax their vigilance, they will inevitably do more illegal activities. We can secretly search for evidence, and when the curtain is finally lifted, we can deal with them one by one. "
Song Chaoyang listened and nodded repeatedly and praised, "Good, very good idea. I think so too. Some things can't be tolerated, and some things must be tolerated. This matter must be tolerated. A little impatience will spoil the big plan. " Then he said, "Isn't Chen Zhimin from the Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources a VIP in Han Shui's palace? I think Huo Zhisong is also a VIP. You can ask Chen Zhimin to pay attention to the relationship between Han Shui and Huo Zhisong."
Li Rui nodded and said, "I was a little busy two days ago, so I didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Zhimin. After work tonight, I will have a good talk with him."
Song Chaoyang said, "Now the situation has changed. If we don't defeat Han Shui in time, he is likely to use Huo Zhisong to climb to the top of Yu Heping. At that time, the two will collude with officials and businessmen, and the damage caused will be ten times or a hundred times more than now. So, we must act as soon as possible. Chen Zhimin is an important line in Han Shui's network, so he is very important to understand Han Shui's official network. So, if he is willing to help us, then we should allow him to atone for his crimes. I think that if we were to forgive him, it would help us to clean up the corruption in the Qingyang Empire and the Qingyang Empire. It would be acceptable and no one would question it. "
Li Rui said, "Boss, what do you mean? Last time, you have already pardoned Chen Zhimin, saying that as long as he is willing to help, we will not pursue the evil he did to the underage girl Wang Xiaomei. What about this time? "
Song Chaoyang said, "If you see him tonight, help me tell him that if he is willing to atone for his crimes and help us deal with Han Shui, then I will allow it. After this matter is over, he can voluntarily resign and retire. The city will not pursue any problems with him. But if he is not willing or secretly helps Han Shui, then I will let him sit in prison and lose his reputation! "
Li Rui smiled and said, "He will be very willing."
Song Chaoyang shook his head with a serious face and said, "That's hard to say. When you talk to him, learn to leave half of the words unsaid. Don't tell him everything. Anything can happen in this world. We can't trust a guy who has no conscience and is devoid of humanity. "
Li Rui deeply agreed. Chen Zhimin was different from the average corrupt official. Most of the corrupt officials only had a fanatical pursuit of money and did not have any major flaws in other aspects of character. However, Chen Zhimin was different. In order to satisfy his selfish desires, he did not even let off an underage girl like Wang Xiaomei. Such a person had no conscience to speak of. When dealing with such a person, one had to be extremely careful and absolutely could not be deceived by his superficial words and deeds.
At 8: 30 p.m., Li Rui met with Chen Zhimin, the Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources, in a private room in a teahouse in the northern district of the city.
"Director Li, this is the 300,000 yuan. You can count it. It is all in here. You were not free for the past two days, but we finally meet tonight. Hehe, I have given you the money. Can you delete the video you took? You have your phone with you, right? "
As soon as they sat down, Chen Zhimin took out a bulging black bag from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Li Rui. Then, he expressed his intention with a smile carefully.
Li Rui didn't even look at the black bag. He mocked him, "Director Chen, you are really rich. You drive a Toyota Crown, and you can take out 300,000 yuan in cash at any time. You must have made a lot of money over the years. "
Chen Zhimin looked a bit embarrassed, saying, "Director Li, this … this has nothing to do with the content of our meeting tonight. I will give you the money, and you delete the video. Then we will go our separate ways, and we won't get in each other's way. "
Li Rui sneered, "You have a good idea."
Chen Zhimin's expression changed. He was surprised, scared, and a bit angry, saying, "You … you are not going to raise the price, are you? Let me tell you, I only have 300,000 yuan. Don't even think about raising the price. "
Li Rui sneered, "It looks like Director Chen values money a lot. I would like to ask Director Chen, is money more important or your future? Or is your life more important? "
Chen Zhimin was so angry that his lips trembled. He suddenly stood up from the chair and said, "No … you can't raise the price anymore. This is immoral behavior. We agreed on 300,000 yuan, you … you …"
Li Rui waved his hand at him, motioning him to sit down and talk, saying, "I have no intention of raising the price. On the contrary, I can give you all the money without taking a single cent."
Chen Zhimin was stunned. After a long while, he asked in disbelief, "Is that true? You … you don't want it? You are not kidding me, are you? "
Li Rui waved his hand at him again. Chen Zhimin seemed to have woken up from a dream. He said, "Oh, Director Li, you … what do you mean by this? Tell me quickly. Don't tease me. I have coronary heart disease. I can't stand being scared. "
Li Rui smiled and said, "Director Chen, think about it. Even if I take your 300,000 yuan and delete the video in front of you, will you be able to rest easy when you go back? Will you be able to sleep well? "
Chen Zhimin was speechless. His expression was a little ugly.
Li Rui continued, "You definitely won't be able to rest easy. Even if the video is deleted, I am still the one who knows about your dirty deeds. You are worried that one day I will deliberately or unintentionally reveal it to Song Shuji. Then you will be finished. You must be thinking that I better die. Otherwise, you will never be able to rest easy. You even think that it would be good if you could kill me, but you don't dare to do so. Am I right? "
Chen Zhimin heard this and his face turned red. He smiled awkwardly and said, "No, how could that be? Why would I think that, haha … haha."
Li Rui said, "I might as well tell you the truth. Song Shuji already knows about your dirty deeds."
Chen Zhimin was shocked. He suddenly jumped up and shouted in panic, "Really? Director … Li, you are not joking with me, right?"
Li Rui looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Your reaction is very funny. You have already done it, so why are you afraid of others knowing? If you are afraid of others knowing, then don't do it. If you do it, then don't be afraid of others knowing. "
Chen Zhimin was so scared that he was about to cry. He said with red eyes, "Really? Song Shuji really knows? "
Li Rui said, "I have already shown him the video. Do you think he knows? The moment he saw the video, he wanted to deal with you. I kept stopping him. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had the chance to make this deal with me. "
Chen Zhimin was in a panic. He looked at Li Rui as if he was looking at an alien. Naturally, he couldn't understand why Li Rui would help him.
Li Rui said in a cold and solemn tone, "Chen Zhimin, for the crimes you have committed, it is not a problem to sentence you to life imprisonment. But now, I can give you a chance to escape. As long as you promise to do something for me, then you will have the opportunity to resign and hand over the stolen money. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Municipal Procuratorate will not make things difficult for you. You can also enjoy the retirement life of a normal cadre. But if you don't agree, then I am sorry. Unless you can escape abroad, in 30 minutes, the police of the Municipal Public Security Bureau will first arrest you for the crime of forcing an underage girl. Then you will be punished for several crimes and will spend the rest of your life in prison. Your reputation will be tarnished. Including your relatives and friends, the people of Qingyang City will know that you, Chen Zhimin, have harmed a little girl. Your children will be ashamed because of you. They will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives … What are you going to choose? It is up to you. "
Chen Zhimin was completely petrified. He didn't move at all. He stared at the tea table with his eyes wide open. His face was full of stupefaction.
Li Rui didn't rush him. He poured a cup of tea for himself and took a sip. He tasted the fragrance of the tea leisurely as if he was having a small gathering with friends.
After a long time, Chen Zhimin finally came back to his senses. His whole person's spirit had dropped by a lot. He was listless as if he had suddenly aged 30 years. He asked embarrassedly, "Director Li, what do you want me to do?"
Li Rui didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Tell me first. Do you agree to this deal? If you agree, then I will tell you. If you don't agree, then fine. You go home and wait for the police to come. "
Chen Zhimin smiled bitterly and said, "You have to at least let me know if I can help you with this matter."
Li Rui sneered and said, "You can do it. If you can't do it, then I won't ask you to do it. Do you think I am stupid?"
Chen Zhimin nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, then I agree." After that, he hummed and said, "I am not stupid. If there is a good ending, why would I choose a bad ending?"
