Chapter 283 I am a despicable person? ! !
Green Wolf Gang?
Ma Bin?
Qian Huan's eyebrows slightly raised, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He stared at Hou Wendong closely and asked doubtfully:
"Finding a gang to do the work is indeed a good idea. However, I seem to have heard that Secretary Hou was able to be rescued the day before yesterday because a street gang provided the police station with key clues. It seems to be called the Green Wolf Gang?"
Hou Wendong did not hide anything and said frankly, "The news you heard was correct. The Green Wolf Gang not only provided clues, but also rescued me at the scene. In addition to Captain Li from the police station, the leader of the Green Wolf Gang, Ma Bin, was also at the scene. He also took me to the hospital in the ambulance. It's not an exaggeration to say that they saved my life."
Qian Huan chuckled, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes: "So, Secretary Hou is planning to repay the favor and give the Green Wolf Gang a piece of the pie?"
Hou Wendong smiled slightly, his tone calm:
"I do intend to repay Ma Bin's kindness, but more importantly, we need a reliable gang to assist us. This is a big deal, and I can only feel at ease if I hand it over to someone I can trust."
After a pause, he continued:
"Besides, it's not that exaggerated. This doesn't count as dividing the cake. With the size of the Green Wolf Gang, even if I rack my brains, they can't get on the table. All they can get is management fees and some hard-earned money, which is just the crumbs of the cake that fell from the table to the ground."
Qian Huan felt that he had exposed Hou Wendong's selfish motive, and his doubts were immediately dispelled.
He said respectfully, "Secretary Hou is loyal and righteous, so I, Qian Huan, naturally cannot stop Secretary Hou from repaying his kindness. So let's just leave it at that. I really envy this guy named Ma Bin for meeting such a noble person as Secretary Hou."
Hou Wendong smiled but said nothing. He did have a strong desire to repay his gratitude, but this did not affect his preparation to kick Qian Huan out.
There is no contradiction between the two! Just like Qian Huan said, not everyone is qualified to eat such a big piece of cake, even if you are the one who kneaded the dough in the first place.
Deep in Hou Wendong's heart, he still had some other plans.
For example, he also wanted to meet Qian Huan's confidants so that he could bribe them and select who could take over his job seamlessly after Qian Huan was out.
Or maybe, part of the shares behind the Second Prison are in Tianguang Investment and part are in the prison system. These shares did not have much value in the past, but that may not be the case in the future.
The value of these shares is too great for Qian Huan to control.
But we can't be too hasty about these things, we have to do them step by step and in a decent manner.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Hou Wendong said to Qian Huan earnestly:
"In short, since this matter has been approved by Councillor Wang, we must work together to get it done. This matter can only be accomplished and cannot fail, otherwise it will have a very bad impact on the councillor. Do you understand?"
Qian Huan took a deep breath, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart:
"Secretary Hou, please rest assured. I am very confident in this plan. I will never let you and Councillor Wang down."
Hou Wendong smiled with satisfaction and encouragement in his eyes: "Very good. After I am discharged from the hospital next week, I will go to the Second Prison under your management for a field visit. At that time, I will plan and promote related external work according to your management of the Second Prison."
Hou Wendong's words were clear and reasonable, and Qian Huan could not find any reason to refuse.
He nodded solemnly and said firmly, "Of course, Secretary Hou, I wish you a good recovery and look forward to your visit to the Second Prison to guide our work."
After Qian Huan finished speaking, he politely left. Outside the door, Feng Mu and Shi Wuming followed closely on his left and right, leaving in unison with him.
Only after Qian Huan's figure disappeared outside the door did Hou Wendong slowly pick up the mobile phone on the bedside table.
He gently unlocked the screen, opened the address book, and found Ma Bin's name with a light touch of his fingertips.
Looking through the call records, Hou Wendong found that his relationship with Ma Bin was quite superficial. In total, they had only a few calls, and each one was extremely brief.
"But it won't be like this in the future. We have to keep in touch more frequently."
Hou Wendong's fingers just lightly touched Ma Bin's phone number, and a complex smile unconsciously appeared on his face. It was not the kind of hypocritical and delicate smile, but the sincerity and emotion that came from the bottom of his heart.
The phone rang only a few times before Ma Bin's voice was heard, with a voice that sounded both strange and familiar.
The reason why he felt unfamiliar was that in his past conversations with Ma Bin, Hou Wendong always spoke in a condescending manner and never really listened to the other person's voice.
The reason why he felt familiar with it was because Ma Bin's voice in the warehouse that day was deeply engraved in his memory like a branding iron.
Whenever he closed his eyes and looked into the darkness, that voice would involuntarily echo in his mind.
"Hello, Secretary Hou, are you awake?"
The greeting on the phone was not very enthusiastic, but it was like a warm current flowing through his heart.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The corners of Hou Wendong's mouth involuntarily lifted up, revealing a gentle arc:
"Ma Bin, where are you? Why didn't I see you when I woke up?"
On the other end of the phone, Ma Bin coughed lightly and replied, "It's like this, Secretary Hou, I saw you being pushed out of the operating room and sent to the VVIP ward. The nurse told me that you have passed the critical period.
Afterwards, Councillor Wang and some officials from the Executive Yuan came to visit you.
Although you were not awake at the time, I felt a little uncomfortable staying here, and there were some matters that needed to be dealt with in the gang, so I left first. I am really sorry. "
Although Ma Bin's words were implicit, Hou Wendong naturally pictured the scene at that time in his mind.
He imagined a small gang leader crammed into the same ward with a group of high-ranking officials from the Executive Yuan, including prominent figures like Councillor Wang.
Ma Bin stood cautiously in the corner of the ward, neither lowering his head nor raising it, and even his toes were digging the floor awkwardly.
For a man like Ma Bin who lives on the edge of a knife, he would probably rather fight to the death than lose face by trying to get close to a room full of hypocritical politicians.
In the past, Hou Wendong would have disdainfully attributed this to the self-restraint and cowardice of a small character, but now, he instead felt that this was a kind of simple and true nature.
"I actually suspected that Ma Bin was hiding the dirty accounts left by Zheng Si and even sent people to steal them. How could I be so despicable and shameless at that time?"
"Luckily, Ma Bin didn't find out about these things at all, otherwise, would he have chosen to save me in the warehouse at that time?"
Hou Wendong decided to keep this secret strictly for the rest of his life. He would not allow this despicable act to tarnish the relationship between him and Ma Bin, which was full of "truth, goodness and beauty".
