Chapter 229 - Deterrence

“I think you should listen to this first.” After saying this, Wang Feng opened the recording just now directly.

Then all the conversations they had since they entered the door came out from the mobile phone. It was very clear and comprehensive without leaving a single word.

Seeing such a scene, Liu Xingguang’s face went pale. His legs gave away and he fell to the ground. He knew that his political career really came to an end.

After listening to the recording in Wang Feng’s phone, Jing Yi’s face changed constantly. Until finally the recording was finished, his face was already green and livid.

Liu Xingguang was his wife’s younger brother. Jing Yi got him here to spend his lazy days by virtue of his own status. It seemed that he was a secretary, but in fact he didn’t do anything all day. It was just a sinecure with a salary.

He knew very well that his brother-in-law was very restless and he always made some troubles for him. Jing Yi tolerated it since he was her wife’s brother, but now he even took bribes boldly. What was more, the evidence was already got in others’ hands. How could he stay calm?

It was not bad to stay here for eating and drinking all day. How dared he ask others for two million? This kind of person was already incurable. And the last word he said simply betrayed the whole Trade and Industry Bureau.

If such a recording was exposed, he, the director would be greatly implicated, not to mention Liu Xingguang.

Now the country was vigorously combating corruption and bribes. And Jing Yi could not help Liu Xingguang when he put his neck into the noose.

And this was a huge vat of black dye. Whoever fell into it might come to an end. It was very difficult for Jing Yi to get the present position, so he would never give up everything he had now for his brother-in-law.

“Don’t worry, sir. I will certainly take this matter seriously. Thank you for helping us to pull out this moth. I will give you a satisfactory answer.” Jing Yi opened his mouth and quickly disassociated himself from Liu Xingguang.

However, Liu Xingguang’s face became pale at the time he heard that his brother-in-law wouldn’t help him. Who else would dare to support him?

Now, he might be sent to prison only for two million. He regretted so much at this moment.

It was just that there were all kinds of medicine sold in this world, but no regret medicine. So Liu Xingguang had come to an end.

“Liu Xingguang, I inform you as the director that your position of secretary is removed from now on. Just wait for the processing later.” Jing Yi opened his mouth and said in a businesslike way.

“Yes, sir.” Even his brother-in-law did not help him. Liu Xingguang had to accept this fate. He was really destroyed in Wang Feng’s hands this time, and there was no chance for him to turn over.

As long as the recording existed, Wang Feng could handle him at any time. He used to think that they were really coming to send money to him this time. However, he didn’t expect that they had dug a trap, just waiting for him to jump inside.

“According to my dear director’s opinion, isn’t it so simple to be fired just for blackmailing me?” At this time, Wang Feng’s faint voice made Jing Yi couldn’t help frowning.

Wang Feng might forgive him if it was normal. But this man turned out to be Liu Xingguang’s brother-in-law. He would be absolved in the next second after Wang Feng left.

Since he wanted to blackmail him for money, how could Wang Feng let him go so easily?

“You don’t need to teach me what I should do. This is our internal business. I hope you do not intervene in us.” Jing Yi said with a frown.

“I am originally related to this matter. Why can’t I intervene? Do you think you can cover up your brother-in-law as a bureau chief? I tell you that I can let you lose your position with a phone call if you act recklessly. Believe it or not?” Wang Feng’s tone sounded very relaxed, but it made Jing Yi’s brow flutter hard.

At this moment, he did not know who Wang Feng was on earth. And it didn’t sound like a lie from his relaxed face.

It took Jing Yi 20 years to climb from the lowest level to this position he had now. If he was really dismissed, it meant that all his efforts he had spent in the past 20 years would be ruined. He would probably get a bad reputation as well.

“What do you want to do?” He didn’t want to irritate Wang Feng, so Jing Yi had to ask calmly.

“It’s very simple. I want to expose this matter. Anyway, I would not forgive your brother-in-law easily. It’s just a delusion to get money from me.” Wang Feng sneered and glanced at Liu Xingguang who was like a dead dog. Then he said slowly. “Of course, you can also choose to continue to cover him up, but you may not be willing to see the result if you do that.”

“I will transfer this matter directly to the judicial department. Let’s deal with it through the normal channels. Is there any problem?” Jing Yi had the thought to help his brother-in-law, but Wang Feng’s words were too stern. He did not dare to gamble his career on this matter.

Because he couldn’t afford that price to make a bet with his own future.

“Good. I believe you know what to do.” After saying this, Wang Feng took out a red handbook from his pocket and handed it to Jing Yi.

“I believe you should know what it is as a director.”

“What?” Jing Yi took over the small book that Wang Feng handed to him and opened it with doubts. But when opening it, he was shocked. He then took a breath of coolness and looked at Wang Feng with so incredible eyes.

As the director of the City Public Security Bureau, he knew very well what was written in this small book. Although the government had little contact with the army, his career would come to an end as long as Wang Feng made an order.

This damn brother-in-law, why didn’t he provoke someone else, but a person from the Dragon Spirit Squad. Wasn’t this a death sentence for himself?

The thought of covering up his brother-in-law that he had at the beginning, totally disappeared at this moment. Since he had blackmailed people from Dragon Spirit Squad, who dared to falsify?

Not to mention him, even the secretary did not dare to fight against the Dragon Spirit Squad.

“You should know what to do next?” After Wang Feng said this, he put away his certificate of officers.

He had to say that the military certificate of the Dragon Spirit Squad had a lot of benefits because the shock on this person’s face could not be fake.

Wang Feng had already begun to exercise the privilege of the Dragon Spirit Squad before he did an assignment.

“I understand.” Taking a deep breath, Jing Yi couldn’t help looking at his brother-in-law with a pitiful look. Now he didn’t want to save him because he was not able to do this.

He only expected the judge from the court could sentence his brother-in-law to fewer years for the sake of him, or else his sister would fight with him.

“Well, I hand it over to you. And I will leave because I have something else to do.” Wang Feng opened his mouth and then took his elder brother away.

Since the reputation of the Dragon Spirit Squad was famous, he believed that the director did not dare to act recklessly. Otherwise, Wang Feng would punish him as well as his brother-in-law.

A director might be a big official to others, but in Wang Feng’s eyes, this was really nothing.

He could even mobilize the troops, let alone a director from the City Public Security Bureau.

“Elder brother-in-law, please save me.” After he saw Wang Feng left, Liu Xingguang cried miserably and held the thigh of Jing Yi tightly.

“Xiaoguang, it is not that I don’t want to save you, but I am not able to help you this time. You have provoked a person who I can’t afford, so you would better accept it. Since you are my brother-in-law, I will intercede for you so that you may be sentenced to fewer years when you are sentenced. Don’t say any other words. Wait for the police.”

After saying this, Jing Yi did not look at Liu Xingguang who had already been a clay sculpture. And he turned back to his office to call the police.

The population of the Dragon Spirit Squad was very rare. But who could think that they would come across one today under such a circumstance?

It was Liu Xingguang himself who played with fire. He should want to extort two million from others. Even Jing Yi felt surprised about the amount. Why didn’t he rob the bank?

It was said that heaven may be forgiven for its iniquities, but man should not live for his sins.

After calling the director of police, Jing Yi lit a cigarette. He looked outside the window in a daze. Now he could do nothing to rescue his brother-in-law.

The person who got involved in this matter really had a high position. Among all the friends he knew, nobody would dare to fight against this kind of officials because they were people who couldn’t be offended.

One cigarette after another, Jing Yi did not know how many cigarettes he had lit. However, the first one who arrived at the Trade and Industry Bureau was not the police, but his wife, Liu Xingguang’s elder sister.

“Jing Yi, I really don’t imagine that you don’t even care about my brother’s life and death. Why do you send him to the police?” As soon as Liu Hong went into the office, she shouted loudly, attracting the attention of many people from a few departments nearby.

“What is the fuss?” Looking at his wife, Jing Yi got more troubled. He did not want to speak to her because she was totally importuning.

I would do it without you saying this if I could save him.

“Oh, I really don’t know you are such a cold-blooded person. I am afraid that you don’t care about my life and death as well. Okay! Since being the case, I will go and find someone else to ask for help.”

“What damn things are you worried about?” Seeing his wife was almost crazy, Jing Yi could not help getting angry and stopped her at the door.

“He is my younger brother. If you don’t care about him, I can’t just sit and watch him as his sister. I will ask you one more question. Will you save him?” Liu Hong stared at Jing Yi and spoke like a shrew.

“It is not that I don’t want to save him, but I am not able to do it. Don’t ask someone else for help. Nobody in Qiong Yao City is able to fight against the one he provoked, even those in the province. What we can do now is to eliminate the impact as much as possible. Do you understand what I mean?”

“I have no idea. I can’t see my brother being sent into prison anyway. Go away. I will save him by myself.”

“Pa!”

Jing Yi was so angry that he slapped her in the face when he saw his wife like this.

“Are you crazy? If you want me to be involved in this case, you can go and plead for him. I will never stop you.” Jing Yi shouted as if he changed into another person.

“You…you hit me?” Looking at Jing Yi who had married her for so many years and hit her for the first time, Liu Hong had an incredible face. She covered her face with her hands and her eyes became red.

“I just want to wake you up by hitting you. He has provoked a person we can’t fight against. You’d better calm down, or don’t blame me for locking you here.”

“You are a bastard! Let us get divorced.” Liu Hong beat Jing Yi constantly. She seemed to be a crazy woman now.

“If you really want to get divorced, just do it. I will not bury my personal future for your brother. I believe you are very aware of what kind of person he is. This time he wanted to blackmail others for two million. He should be to blame for what he has done and he deserves it.”
