Li Ruixin snorted coldly. Ceng Shi shielded him? I, Li Rui, am also shielding him? You can protect your son, but I can't protect my goddess?
Tan Yang said, "… My brother is not an ordinary person. He is the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, the favorite of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Even if Ceng Shi didn't give face to others, he had to give face to my brother. Jin Chaoxu smiled bitterly and said, "Ceng Shi is not an ordinary person either. His aunt's husband is the Deputy Minister of the Provincial Organization Department, a leader at the department level. He is not bad compared to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee."
Li Rui was shocked again. The Deputy Minister of the Provincial Organization Department was called Liang Yongqiu. He was in charge of the selection and appointment of cadres at the department level in the province. He was a god that could not be offended. Even his boss would not want to offend him. Moreover, this Minister Liang had a good relationship with his boss. If this matter got out of hand, his boss would not risk offending Liang Yongqiu to help him. And as his secretary, he could not put his boss in a difficult position because of this.
Tan Yang wasn't done yet. "When I heard that Ceng Yushi had such a powerful backer, I was also a little confused. Until now, I haven't contacted Ceng Yushi. How about … I contact him first and help you find out more about him? Although he has a powerful backer, he still has to work in the city. He also has to give face to you and Song Shuji. If he knows how to behave, he will take the initiative to back down when he hears that this matter has something to do with you. "
Li Rui did not have a better idea. He said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I'll wait for the news."
Song Chaoyang waited for him to hang up the phone and asked with interest, "What do you need to ask him for?"
Li Rui turned around and smiled. "It's nothing. It's just a small matter."
Song Chaoyang nodded and did not ask any more questions. He knew that if he really encountered trouble that he could not solve, he would take the initiative to ask him.
In the evening, Tan Yang called Li Rui again and brought bad news. Zeng Yu didn't give him any face at all, whether it was Li Rui or Tan Yang who interceded for him. Of course, he didn't directly refuse. Instead, he denied that there was such a thing and said that he didn't know. He would talk to his son, Ceng Xiaomeng, when he had time. However, his brother-in-law, Jin Chaoxu, had already sold him out. Everything was ordered by him. How could he not know? Wasn't this fooling a silly boy?
When Li Rui heard this, he was secretly angry. Ever since he became famous, all the leaders in the city, no matter what rank or position, had to give face to him. Even a high official like Zhang Keli, the chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, had always been polite to him. Now, Ceng Shi was just a small deputy director, and he had just been promoted. How could he be so arrogant and ruthless? What was even more infuriating was that the father and son were not reasonable at all. It was really infuriating.
"Isn't he just relying on his brother-in-law who is at the bureau chief level? But he's nothing in front of me! "
Li Rui suddenly became angry. He really wanted to get rid of Ceng Yushi and Ceng Xiaomeng. But he quickly realized that this idea was very dangerous. If he wanted to kill the dog with a stick after being bitten by a dog, although it was punishing evil and satisfying, it also violated the correct way to solve problems. It would make the problem more complicated and make the hatred deeper. Instead, he should negotiate with the dog's owner and solve the problem through friendly negotiations.
This was also the bottom line that people in a society ruled by law should adhere to. When encountering problems, they should solve them legally. They should not use violence to deal with violence and play tricks. Otherwise, it would lead to personal degradation and the decline of the moral level of the whole society.
"First, I'll meet with Ceng Yushi and talk to him. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way."
Li Rui made up his mind. He took out the phone book and dialed the public mobile phone given to the chief officer of the Municipal Traffic Police Branch. He originally wanted to ask his friend in the Municipal Bureau to be a middleman and help to contact Ceng Yushi. But when he thought of Ceng Yushi's temper, he was worried that he would not give his friend face and embarrass his friend. So, he decided to contact him directly.
The phone was quickly picked up, and the person who answered the phone was Ceng Yushi himself. His tone was neither cold nor hot, neither salty nor indifferent, giving people the feeling of an iceberg visitor.
Li Rui could tell from his tone that this was not a guy who was easy to get along with. He said, "Captain Ceng, I'm Li Rui from the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. Do you have time tonight? I'll meet with you."
If it was someone else who was the Captain of the Traffic Police Branch, once they heard of Li Rui's name, they would immediately try to make friends with him. Even if they could not ask for help from Li Rui, it would be good to have such a powerful friend. But Ceng Yushi did not do so. He still said indifferently, "I'm sorry, Director Li. I have a meeting tonight. I don't have time. Let's talk another day." After that, he did not wait for Li Rui to reply and just hung up.
After this phone call, Li Rui completely gave up on Ceng Yushi. He knew that Ceng Yushi did not give him a chance to negotiate, and also forced him to give up the right solution. He wanted him to use conspiracy means. In that case, don't blame him for being ruthless.
After dark, Li Rui found an official car and drove the boss, Song Chaoyang, to a special restaurant to meet with Liang Jiehong. The two of them were going to have dinner there. Liang Jiehong had already taken a taxi and rushed there.
After arriving, Li Rui left the car with the boss and got off work. He turned around and waited by the roadside. After waiting for less than five minutes, Han Zhifei came.
Since the Han Shui case came to an end, Li Rui had not seen Han Zhifei. Han Zhifei often called Li Rui to ask him out for dinner and play. But how could Li Rui have the time? If it weren't for the fact that he had to deal with the Ceng Xiaomeng, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask Han Zhifei out.
Sitting in Han Zhifei's car, Li Rui did not even have time to speak before his left shoulder was pressed down by Han Zhifei's large hand. He heard Han Zhifei shout excitedly, "Brother, you finally have time to come out. Tonight, let's drink until we're drunk and call a dozen beauties …"
Li Rui pushed his hand away in annoyance and said, "Xiao Fei, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you're back to being a playboy? Did I teach you to be good? You're always drinking and flirting with girls. Damn, a dozen beauties? Your appetite has grown. Let me tell you, the crazier you play now, the more Han Zhijie despises you in jail! "
Han Zhifei's face turned red from his harsh words. He said honestly, "Brother, actually I've been working very hard in my studies and work. I haven't come out to play for a long time. Today, I didn't see you happy, so I'm a little nostalgic. Don't be angry, I'll work hard."
Li Rui nodded and said, "That's more like it. I called you out today to ask you about a person. This person can be considered a figure in the circle of the city's second generation officials. He's the son of the current city's traffic police captain, Zeng Xianshi, Zeng Xiaomeng. He usually drives a white Porsche Macan ostentatiously around the city. He's tall and strong. He also has a friend who's also tall and strong. Do you know him? "
Han Zhifei said disdainfully, "He's not embarrassed to drive a Macan ostentatiously around the city?"
Li Rui said, "Of course he can't compare to you. This should be his limit for showing off his wealth. If he goes overboard, it might affect his father. Do you know him or not? "
Han Zhifei said, "I haven't heard of him, but I can ask my friends about him."
Li Rui nodded and said, "Okay, ask around for me immediately. You have to find a trustworthy friend. Don't let outsiders know that you've asked about him."
Han Zhifei said, "Okay, wait here." As he said that, he took out his phone, flipped through the phone book, and made a call.
After making three or four calls, Han Zhifei received good news. He had a good friend who had fought with Zeng Xiaomeng for a woman. He knew Zeng Xiaomeng and was very familiar with him. Li Rui was overjoyed when he heard that. He asked Han Zhifei to drive to find that friend immediately.
Ten minutes later, Han Zhifei's friend got into the car beside a stone bridge over the old moat west of the train station.
Han Zhifei gave a brief introduction to the two and asked the friend to tell Li Rui about Zeng Xiaomeng's situation.
That person said that Zeng Xiaomeng had a bad temper in the past. He would start a fight if there was a disagreement. In the past two years, with his father's promotion, his temper had become more restrained. He had also become more low-key. However, if he was provoked, he would still get angry. He opened a fitness center in the southern district of the city and even invited a friend to teach him Sanda. Over the years, he had met many young men and women and had a wide network. However, no one had a stronger background than him.
This Zeng Xiaomeng was delicious and lustful. Those who were familiar with him all said that if he wasn't picking up girls, then he was on the way to pick up girls. Moreover, his taste was not limited to one type. No matter if it was a girl from a good family or a prostitute, no matter if it was fat or thin, beautiful or ugly, as long as it was something he liked, he would think of a way to get it. His girlfriends changed every few months. He also had many lovers in the city's famous brothels. Because of this, many people who hated him called him a "breeding pig."
After hearing that, Li Rui felt that this information was not useful. He asked, "Brother, please think about it carefully. Does he have any other problems? For example, has he done anything out of line or committed a crime? "
The man thought for a while and suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up and he said mysteriously, "I've heard people say that he has a small circle of friends and girlfriends. They sometimes gather in the office of his fitness center to skate."
Li Rui was overjoyed and said, "This information is very useful to me. Do you know where he is now? "
That person looked at the time and said, "It's not too late now. He should still be in the fitness center playing with his bad friends or flirting with girls. There are many beautiful girls who go to his fitness center. He won't close until very late. Sometimes, he will just sleep in the fitness center. Sometimes, he will just go home."
Li Rui said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you to take me there now. You can go back after you take me there."
That person laughed and said, "No trouble, no trouble at all. Big brother, are you going to deal with Zeng Xiaomeng? If you do, I'll thank your ancestors. I'll even be your vanguard. "
