Chapter 362 I Won’t Let You Dirty Your Hands
Zhou Yong glanced at Cheng Zhigang's wandering eyes and raised his eyebrows secretly: "Is there something you can't say?"
Cheng Zhigang glanced at Zhou Yong indifferently, then quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.
His calm demeanor made Li Hongjun frown, and he even felt annoyed.
As for Zhou Yong, he was very patient. He also picked up the teacup and drank some tea to moisten his throat.
Cheng Zhigang stared at Zhou Yong with deep admiration in his eyes. He admired Zhou Yong's calmness and composure, and felt sincere admiration for it.
"Old Dog Feng has been sidelined by the Wang brothers."
Cheng Zhigang lowered his eyes and gently drew circles on the teacup lid with his right index finger, but the words he said exploded like thunder in Zhou Yong's heart.
"How did they manage to sideline Feng Laogou?"
Zhou Yong was very curious about this and couldn't help asking.
Cheng Zhigang looked at him and said, "Old Feng has been indulging in women for many years and neglected his work. Gradually, the Wang brothers and the fifth brother secretly seized his power. Now Old Feng is just a decoration and he no longer has any real power..."
To put it bluntly, Feng Laogou is now a puppet. If nothing happens, he can spend his old age without worries. If something happens, he will be the one to take the blame.
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes and said, "Old Feng has been in the underworld for so many years, he shouldn't be sidelined so completely, right?"
Cheng Zhigang stared at Zhou Yong for a few seconds, then said word by word, "Because, I contributed to this."
Old Dog Feng did not abide by the code of conduct and reached out to Hongqi Township to snatch a batch of goods from Cheng Zhigang.
Cheng Zhigang naturally couldn't swallow this humiliation, so he set up a trap to trick Feng Laogou.
As a result, Cheng Zhigang was stabbed in the back by his brother, seriously injured and almost died at the hands of Feng Laogou.
Fortunately, he remembered Zhou Yong at that time and hid in the Li family cellar in Huaixi Village and escaped the disaster.
Afterwards, Cheng Zhigang planned to get rid of Feng Laogou, but unfortunately Feng Laogou had been hiding in his lair and refused to come out. He had no choice but to change his strategy to take revenge on Feng Laogou.
Therefore, he instigated the people around Feng Laogou to rebel, and finally reached a consensus with Lao Wu and the Wang brothers.
Although Cheng Zhigang helped Lao Wu and the Wang brothers seize power from Feng Laogou, he never interfered in matters on the Qianjin Township Road. This was an agreement they had made in advance.
However, Cheng Zhigang did not expect that the Wang brothers were so impatient that they were eager to retaliate against the Li family not long after seizing power.
Cheng Zhigang thought that the Wang brothers' move was very brainless. Not only did it shake his shallow foundation, but in order to settle this matter, he would not only have to spend a lot of money, but also consume a certain amount of connections. It was really not worth it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yong's heart seemed to be stirred by a huge wave, with waves rolling and unable to calm down.
"So should I be grateful to you for telling me all this, or should I resent you?"
Cheng Zhigang pursed his lips, leaned back on the chair, looked at Zhou Yong and said, "What the Wang brothers did was not my intention."
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes. Although he understood Cheng Zhigang's position, he did not intend to let Cheng Zhigang distance himself from the matter. "You knew the grudge between the Wang family and the Li family, so why did you support them to take the position?"
Cheng Zhigang's eyes swept across Zhou Yong's face, and he said calmly: "Your words really surprised me. I never thought they would do such a brainless thing."
If he were a brother of the Wang family, even if he wanted to take revenge on the Li family, he would not act so ostentatiously. He would definitely wait for an opportunity in secret and inflict heavy revenge on the Li family without anyone knowing.
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "After all, this matter was caused by you, so you can't just stand by and watch."
Cheng Zhigang frowned, "What you said is really interesting. This happened because of me? It was obviously the grudge caused by the Li family's breaking off the engagement, okay?"
Both of them knew what was going on. Cheng Zhigang was not stupid and would not take the blame.
Zhou Yong's mouth corners slightly raised, and he changed the subject: "If I remember correctly, you seem to owe me a favor."
Although his words were tactful, Cheng Zhigang knew clearly that Zhou Yong was asking for a favor.
Cheng Zhigang was silent for a few seconds, then asked directly: "What do you want me to do?"
Zhou Yong looked at him and admired Cheng Zhigang's frankness and decisiveness very much.
Whether it is Old Dog Feng or the Wang brothers, we can’t let them continue to do evil. If we don’t eradicate them, the Li family will never have peace.
After hearing what Zhou Yong said, Cheng Zhigang said, "I won't do anything that would kill people."
He made his way through the underworld, but always adhered to his bottom line and never got involved in bloody affairs.
Zhou Yong smiled softly and said soothingly: "Don't worry, I won't let you get your hands dirty!"
Cheng Zhigang pursed his lips slightly, his eyes fixed on Zhou Yong's face, carefully observing the changes in his expression.
Zhou Yong just wanted to use Cheng Zhigang to send the Wang brothers to hell through formal channels.
After all, he holds a public office, although he is only a low-level village cadre, but for the safety of his entire family, he must stay out of it.
Cheng Zhigang raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of amusement in his tone: "How do you want me to cooperate with you?"
It’s like this when dealing with smart people. You don’t need to say much, and the other person will understand what you should say and what you should do.
Zhou Yong lowered his eyes: "We will discuss the rest later."
Cheng Zhigang shrugged his shoulders, Zhou Yong stood up, and took Li Hongjun away from the scrap purchasing department.
Zhou Yong called Cao Biao and they chatted for more than ten minutes. Then he called Guo Xiangqian.
After ending the call with Guo Xiangqian, Zhou Yong called Chen Pingliang again.
He asked Chen Pingliang to prepare 50,000 yuan for him and he needed it now. Chen Pingliang even cursed on the phone.
Although Zhou Yong did not disclose the purpose of the money, Chen Pingliang knew very well that Zhou Yong would not be so eager to seek financial support unless he encountered an emergency.
Chen Pingliang had 10,000 yuan in cash at home. As the bank was closed, he asked several friends and finally raised 50,000 yuan for Zhou Yong.
Just when he had gathered enough money, Zhou Yong arrived.
After taking care of all the people and arranging everything, Zhou Yong pursed his lips and got into Chen Pingliang's car.
Chen Pingliang's stomach was clamoring: "What to eat?"
"casual."
Chen Pingliang started the car and turned the steering wheel: "It's cold today, how about we go eat hot pot?"
Zhou Yong responded, and Chen Pingliang drove straight to the only hot pot restaurant in Qingmu County.
Winter is the peak season for hotpot, so hotpot restaurants are crowded.
Chen Pingliang and Zhou Yong entered the store to take a look, and then they changed to eat stir-fried dishes.
As luck would have it, while they were having dinner, they actually ran into Meng Xiaofan and a few strangers who were having dinner together.
Chen Pingliang and Zhou Yong ignored Meng Xiaofan, as they didn't want her to come over and say hello.
"Brother-in-law, what a coincidence, you guys are coming to eat too?"
Chen Pingliang calmly asked back: "If it's not for the meal, why are we here?"
Meng Xiaofan was stunned, looking at the expressionless Chen Pingliang, and smiled awkwardly: "Brother-in-law, I won't bother you anymore."
The reason why Chen Pingliang treated Meng Xiaofan well before was entirely because of Wang Ping.
Now, he felt that even looking at Meng Xiaofan for one more second was a blasphemy to his own eyes.
