594: Chapter 594: In life, he was a respectable person!
Grief greater than the death of heart!
Wei Yun never dread that Wu Jie harbored a shocking identity.
At the mont when he was using his power to extort and threaten…
The investigator’s badge flashed by Wu Jie was like throwing down the trump card at the critical mont of a ga of Dou Di Zhu.
Trump card!!
Ga over!
Annihilated in an instant!
Given Wei Yun’s position and power, there was simply no chance to resist.
And moreover…
Resist?
How to resist?
When facing soone of that status, they truly hold the power of ‘execution before reporting.’
No matter how fierce and arrogant Wei Yun blustered, being taken down would rely result in a report afterward.
In the mont of his fall.
Wei Yun truly hated!
Knowing well that Wu Jie had the “trump card” which could have swiftly been fatal.
Then this afternoon…
His son, Wei Honghua, injuring Tang Xin and Fang Qingya, wasn’t imdiately killed on the spot.
Was it Wu Jie’s leniency towards his son?
Or was it that he didn’t have his gun at the ti?
And earlier.
The father and son conspired in sneaky attacks, but Wu Jie didn’t just pull out a gun and take them down in the pavilion.
Was it because he didn’t want to kill soone in his own yard?
The reason he flashed his credentials now…
Was because he challenged, claiming no one present had the authority to deal with him.
So Wu Jie simply revealed his ‘trump card’, making Wei Yun give up completely.
That’s right!
This ti he truly gave up!
Fainting and collapsing to the ground, his entire world seed to fall into darkness.
In a daze…
Wei Yun felt a sting.
The hum of cars and the noise of chatter and ssy footsteps reached his ears.
Wei Yun’s fingers trembled slightly, as he tried to open his heavy eyelids.
Opening his eyes.
His vision was dim.
It was the secretary who was incessantly shouting and pushing him, even pinching the pressure point under his nose, hence the stinging pain.
When Wei Yun opened his eyes, the secretary was overjoyed.
“President Wei has already been taken away…
The villagers have dispersed as well…”
Wei Yun struggled to hear clearly.
There seed to be a buzz saw whirring near his ear.
Tinnitus…
I’m really weakened!
Not only that, Wei Yun also felt a chill throughout his body.
Barely nodding his head, Wei Yun raised his arm and weakly waved his hand.
Finally!
The secretary stopped buzzing around him.
The surrounding chaos also gradually quieted down.
Lying on the concrete road, Wei Yun felt too tired, as if he had been hollowed out.
After a good while, he opened his eyes again.
Slowly sitting up.
He saw that the previously bustling entrance to the Wu Family courtyard was now ‘deserted and empty.’
Looking around, the cornfield where his son was tragically bitten and torn apart earlier had fallen into darkness, like an abyss of sin.
In the air, there was a faint sll of car exhaust, and that of blood.
His precious son, who knows how much flesh had been torn off and how much blood had been shed by Wu Jie’s ferocious dog.
Thinking of his son’s uncertain fate, thinking of the career he had destroyed with his own hands…
Wei Yun was filled with remorse.
“Had I known, I should have sincerely apologized, made a heartfelt compensation!”
“Two hundred million Gold Coins…
were just their starting price!”
“Exorbitant demands weaken over negotiations.
Surely the final amount would not have been much!”
“I could have solved the problem with money, but as a result…”
Wei Yun shook his head regretfully, wishing ti could be turned back.
Insatiable greed leads to ruin!
Sotis, because one is unwilling to settle and too arrogant, they turn a small matter into a big one and ruin themselves.
And this, is probably what netizens an by ‘you won’t die unless you seek death.’
…
The night breeze blew gently.
Wei Yun shivered and carefully looked towards the hillside.
His son’s Range Rover and his friend’s Toyota Fortuner were no longer there.
Only the Audi he had hurriedly taken from the provincial city remained.
The driver crouched beside the car, taking drags of his cigarette.
Only his long-ti secretary was still by his side.
“What exactly did that damn Wu Jie say?”
Wei Yun almost cursed out loud again.
The secretary squatted down, with a solemn expression and said:
“He didn’t say much, but…
the courtyard gate is still open.
I guess he wants you to go in for a talk!”
Wei Yun turned his head to look behind him, feeling a flicker of fear in his heart.
“Not…
not going to get bitten by the dog, am I?”
The secretary shook his head: “I don’t know about that, shall I accompany you inside?”
Wei Yun sighed inwardly, leaning on the secretary’s shoulder, he shakily got to his feet.
“No need!
I’m not that cowardly and afraid!”
After walking a couple of steps, Wei Yun suddenly turned his head with a sidelong glance.
“Had I known it would co to this, I should’ve demoted you earlier!”
“It seems that I cannot escape this disaster.
You…
take care of yourself!”
Wei Yun sighed heavily and walked away with his hands behind his back.
At that mont.
His back was bent.
The once strident and spirited Wei Yun was gone in an instant.
Gone were his forr arrogance and tyranny, only the hunched silhouette walked alone.
Arriving at the gate.
Wei Yun saw Tang Pingde’s bodyguard again.
Pan was vigilant this ti, though he hadn’t received any orders, he took it upon himself to search Wei Yun.
The sa mistake could not be made a second ti.
“There’s no need to search; all I have on is my and my son’s cellphone and bank cards, and it’s unlikely I’ll plan any mischief again!”
Wei Yun laughed at himself mockingly.
Pan snorted lightly: “I really don’t know where you and your son get the courage to be so reckless!
Do you not care for life, seeking death with such fervor?”
“Ignorance is bliss!
Had I known about Wu Jie’s status, let alone two hundred million, I would have accepted two hundred billion!”
Wei Yun chuckled.
He followed Pan for the third ti to that cool pavilion.
This place was undoubtedly where his heart ached.
The first ti he ca in, he was full of hope, and it was entirely possible to minimize big issues and resolve small ones.
But the second ti, he and his son harbored evil intentions and did not co with good will, actually wanting to strike back with a surprise attack.
Now, for the third ti, he really felt like a condemned prisoner; each step weighed heavily.
Inside the pavilion.
Tang Pingde, Tang Xin, and the others were all gone, leaving only Wu Jie drinking by himself.
“Go rest, Pan.
It’s been a hard night for you,”
Wu Jie glanced at Wei Yun and gave a faint smile, gesturing with his mouth towards the spot in front of him.
Wei Yun didn’t stand on ceremony; he sat down with natural ease, picked up a cup filled with liquor, and drank it down.
The spicy, high-proof spirits burned down his throat like a fierce fire.
Seeing this, Wu Jie asked with a smile, “How’s the drink?”
Wei Yun frowned slightly and, after savoring it for a while, finally put the cup down.
“The liquor’s good.
The last ti I drank this was at the beginning of the year during a eting at the State Guesthouse.
So…
this is specially supplied liquor!”
Wu Jie pushed the half-full bottle towards Wei Yun.
“Do you know why I kept you behind?”
Wei Yun didn’t rush to answer; instead, he directly picked up the bottle and started to guzzle it down.
After an enjoyable drink that ward his entire body and uplifted his spirits,
Bang!
Wei Yun put down the bottle and laughed, “Of course, you’re not here to gloat over victory; you must have other plans!
“Let think…
ha ha, I know!
I understand!”
As Wei Yun spoke, he tried to grab the bottle again to continue his drinking spree.
However,
Wu Jie suddenly reached out and snatched the bottle from Wei Yun’s hand.
“Originally, I didn’t plan to keep you around.
After everyone left, I could have simply shot you clean.
How satisfying that would be!”
“But considering your unrepentant nature, I made a phone call to ask around,”
“As it turns out, Zheng said that you, Wei Yun, used to be a man of dignity.
You’ve contributed to the community and did well by the people!”
“He said that even though you’ve degenerated in recent years, it doesn’t erase your past rits; you deserve so respect,”
As he spoke, Wu Jie poured two cups of liquor.
“Liquor needs to be sipped slowly!”
“Words need to be spoken one at a ti, slowly.”
Wei Yun squinted, his gaze fixed on Wu Jie.
“Strange!
How did a simple farr’s son like you beco one of Zheng’s people?
Did Old Mr.
Tang get you your position?”
Wu Jie sneered, “You really are ready to break everything, aren’t you?
You used to call him Old Mr.
Tang with respect, but now you just say Old Tang.”
“At this point, does it make any difference what we call each other?” Wei Yun asked coldly.
Wu Jie countered, “Then, does the question you asked make any difference?”
Wei Yun chuckled lightly and picked up his glass to drink it down.
“Ah, refreshing!”
Wei Yun put the glass down heavily, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked into the distance.
Of course, he knew what awaited him next.
Leniency for those who confess; severity for those who resist?
Given his case of corruption and bending the law, he was looking at a minimum of ten years in prison, perhaps even life.
After all,
He knew exactly how much money he had embezzled and how many mistakes he had made.
Wanting a lenient sentence…
Either take it hard to the end, don’t explain anything, and bet that the relevant departnts can’t find much evidence.
Or opt for leniency by confessing, actively explaining the issues, and implicating other corrupt individuals.
But thinking of his son whose life or death was uncertain, and his wife and the elderly…
Wei Yun suddenly felt utterly confused.
One cup after another.
Unknowingly, Wei Yun collapsed in a drunken stupor.
In a dim haze, he heard a harsh buzzing.
Amid the buzzing sound, his hands suddenly felt ice-cold.
Barely opening his eyes, he was t with a pair of ‘silver bracelets’.
As he was forcefully dragged away, Wei Yun struggled to open his sleepy eyes.
He expected to see Wu Jie’s smug smiling face…
But there was nothing.
In the pavilion, at so unknown point, he was left alone.
The screeching of turbine engines, the sonic booms as propeller blades tore through the air…
Created a piercing noise, bringing a hurricane-like violent wind.
Wei Yun had no strength left; he was already limp.
He was propped up and taken out of the courtyard, dragged towards the helicopter.
To Wei Yun’s surprise, his secretary and driver had also disappeared without a trace.
When the people leave, the tea cools!
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!
Wei Yun closed his eyes in painful guilt, and hot tears stread down.
He was dragged onto the helicopter, handcuffed to the armrest of the seat.
Wei Yun lay on the seat like a paralytic, unmoving.
Accompanied by a slight vibration.
The helicopter roared as it took off.
Under the night sky.
Red and green navigation lights flashed incessantly, as the helicopter carrying Wei Yun climbed higher.
As the buzzing faded, Genlong Village, once noisy and lively, finally regained its usual tranquility.
Sumr insects chirped.
The night breeze was gentle.
On the window sill of the master bedroom on the third floor, a glowing red cigarette butt was pinched out.
The next day.
With deafening firecracker noise and many villagers seeing them off, the convoy slowly set off.
After a brief stop in Pingle Town for so mountain goods, the convoy headed straight to Tongcheng.
By the ti the group arrived at Tianyuan, it was already the afternoon.
Lin Yuan rarely ca to pick up passengers and considerately brought a wheelchair for Fang Qingya.
The relationship between the two was evidently self-evident.
After all, feelings over the years are hard to cut, truly deeply connected.
Fang Qingya’s right foot was inconvenient, and she needed soone to take care of her injury; this might be a good opportunity for an official reconciliation.
After a sumptuous dinner, everyone went back to their hos.
And this dinner was also a farewell for Wu Jie and Tang Xiao, who were about to leave for a ‘honeymoon’.
After settling the parents back at ho and arranging work matters,
Under the night sky.
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao once again headed to the airport, transferring to the Brune Super Cruise Ship that had been cruising in international waters.
And this, of course, was not any honeymoon trip…
