Li Shucheng naturally understood and nodded without hesitation, "Okay, please."

The two of them walked out of the office together, smiling, and didn't meet anyone on the way.

When they reached the door, Chen Ye walked aside and patted Chen Jingchu on the shoulder, and whispered, "Tell your Uncle Wu that the tavern is open."

Chen Jingchu nodded calmly, "Dad, I'll go back first. Don't drink too much."

"Okay, let's go,"

Li Shucheng stepped forward with a smile, "Your Excellency is truly a handsome man,"

Chen Ye's smile did not reach his eyes, "Chief Li, you are too polite. Let's go..."

Chen Jingchu returned home and told Wu Chengfeng about this, and quickly called Zhai Jiu on Chen's phone.

When Zhai Jiu was about to go out, a voice called from behind, "Xiao Jiu..."

He paused, turned around and saw Zhai Shixiong looking at him.

He smiled and replied: "Dad, I have something to do. I will come back to see you."

Zhai Shixiong watched his youngest son walk out of the house, and thought to himself, "This child has changed after all..."

After Zhai Jiu walked out of the compound, he drove as fast as he could to the tavern before them.

When Chen Ye arrived here, he glanced at the boss inconspicuously, and went to one of the private rooms following his eye signal.

"Chief Li, please..."

Li Shucheng felt a little strange because the director was usually not so polite to him.

But there was still a smile on his face: "Director, why are you so polite?"

Chen Ye smiled without saying anything. The moment the two walked in, he closed the door and stood at the door.

Li Shucheng walked in and saw Zhai Jiu sitting at the table, his expression slightly stunned.

He asked in surprise: "Xiaojiu, why are you here?"

He turned around to look at Chen Ye standing at the door. He had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still showed his signature simple smile, "Director, Xiaojiu, what are you doing?"

Zhai Jiu didn't say anything extra, and asked directly: "What did you do in 62 years?"

Li Shucheng's eyes flickered slightly. Although he was very flustered, he still smiled and replied, "62 years, eh, it's been too long, I can't remember clearly."

Zhai Jiu stood up and looked at him with a cold expression, "In 1962, I investigated some things. What did you do to them?"

The smile on Li Shucheng's face disappeared instantly.

"I'm investigating this matter, and you're the only one who knows about it. Since I'm standing here asking, I know something. Tell me, who told you to do this?"

Li Shucheng's pupils constricted, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. At this time, he heard Zhai Jiu's cold words again.

"Li Shucheng, what you did has already touched the bottom line of the Zhai family. Aren't you afraid of implicating your third sister-in-law?"

Li Shucheng's eyes suddenly changed. His parents passed away early, and he had been growing up with his younger sister.

The one he loves the most is his sister.

He said nervously: "No, Xiaojiu, Shuyu is so good to you, this matter has nothing to do with her."

Zhai Jiu raised his voice and said coldly: "Who told you to do this..."

Li Shucheng argued: "Xiaojiu, I didn't do anything. I just changed the result. I did this because of you. You are obviously very good, but you are always suppressed by Mu Lianshen."

"You obviously had a problem with him at that time, didn't you? I did this just to keep you away from him. Then..."

BANG!!!

Zhai Jiu kicked the stool to his feet, his eyes flashing with anger, "Who told you to do this?"

"Don't talk about doing this for my own good. Even if I treated Mu Lianshen differently, it's between us. Why would I want an outsider like you to interfere?"

Chen Ye, who was standing at the door, had a flash of understanding in his eyes, but his expression was unclear.

I see.

Zhai Jiu looked at him with a gloomy look, "Who is behind you? Why did you stir up trouble between the Mu and Zhai families? Besides this, what else have you done?"

"If you don't want to tell me, I'll let my third brother come over."

"Don't," Li Shucheng said anxiously, "I received a letter with a lot of money in it, and it also asked me to do something. As long as I can sow discord between you and Mu Lianshen, it will make my career smoother in the future."

"I didn't believe it at first, but not long after that I actually got the position I had always wanted, so I believed what the letter said,"

"Later, when you investigated that matter, I secretly changed the results to show that it was the Mu family who did it."

He looked at Zhai Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, you obviously hated Mu Lianshen at that time, otherwise, you wouldn't have failed to notice it."

"What I did wasn't obvious, but when you saw the results, you believed it straight away, didn't you..."

Zhai Jiu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his dark eyes were full of mystery, "Where is the letter?"

Li Shucheng said: "Every time I finish reading, I burn it."

"Besides this, what else did you do to get the subsequent promotions?"

"No," Li Shucheng shook his head and said, "I don't know why I was promoted so quickly, but I was on the promotion list anyway."

Zhai Jiu was silent for a while, then slowly raised his eyes and looked at him, "You go."

Li Shucheng begged, "Xiaojiu, I can do anything, but don't implicate Shuyu. As the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family, she has done nothing wrong."

He did all these things just to make a higher mark and prevent outsiders from looking down on his sister.

After all, they are too different from the Zhai family, and there are many people who talk behind their backs about them.

He actually didn't care much about being an official, but he couldn't let others look down on his sister.

He seized the opportunity to climb up, and he did not harm the Zhai family. At that time, Zhai Jiu did hate Mu Lianshen, and he could feel it.

So he privately thought that doing so would not cause too serious consequences.

"go out..."

Zhai Jiu's eyes were as cold as ice and his voice was low.

After Li Shucheng left, Zhai Jiu was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly, "He was right. I hated him at that time, so I didn't doubt him at all."

At that time, Fu Jingshu had just left not long ago, and he had obvious hatred in his heart, but because of what Jingshu said, he did not look for Mu Lianshen.

What good would it do to find it? There was nothing he could do.

So I can only check the past.

The moment he saw the result, he almost subconsciously believed it, because that was what he thought in his heart. It was because of him that Jingshu died.

So it makes sense that the source lies with him as well.

The expression on Chen Ye's face paused, and finally there was movement in his eyes, with a glimmer of light flashing.

In the end, he smiled helplessly and didn't say much. Let them solve their own problems.

"The most important thing now is the person behind the scenes. After so many years in the officialdom, this is the first time I have seen such a person who did these things with just a letter."

Yes, no matter what his attitude towards Mu Lianshen is.

But the person behind the scenes is indeed very capable of controlling people's hearts.
