"You were the one who asked my girlfriend to drink, weren't you?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked Song Yishang.
Song Yishang initially wanted to shake his head in denial, but upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's sharp gaze, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Liu Xiaoyuan picked up the bottle of baijiu from the ground and said, "Looks like you can hold your liquor pretty well. Here, you finish this bottle first!"
As he spoke, Liu Xiaoyuan shoved the bottle of liquor into Song Yishang's hand.
Song Yishang looked at the bottle of liquor in his hand. If he were to drink this whole bottle like this, it would be the death of him.
"Friend, this is too much, I can't drink it all!" Song Yishang said with pleading eyes.
Shao Yitian glared at him and said, "So you're not going to give me any face, are you?"
Song Yishang quickly shook his head and said he dared not. Shao Yitian then said, "Since you dare not, then hurry up and drink it!"
Song Yishang looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with a miserable expression and asked, "Friend, can we not drink?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said firmly, "No, not drinking is disrespecting me!"
Looking at the bottle of liquor in his hand, Song Yishang felt a chill. "Friend, how about this? I'll not only arrange a job for your girlfriend right now, but I'll also apologize for what happened tonight and compensate you for your losses."
Song Yishang decided to spend money to avoid further trouble and physical pain.
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Song Yishang and asked, "Are you bribing me?"
Song Yishang quickly shook his head and denied it, saying, "No, no! This is just some compensation for the loss!"
"Oh, how much can you give?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Song Yishang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "If something can be solved with money, then it's not a problem."
After thinking for a moment, Song Yishang immediately said, "Friend, how about 20,000?"
Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I'm a beggar? Twenty thousand yuan is too little!"
Song Yishang's willingness to contribute 20,000 yuan shows a great deal of determination, as 20,000 yuan is a considerable sum for an average family.
However, upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan say this, Song Yishang knew that things might not go well tonight, as the other party actually thought the money was too little.
"No!" Song Yishang shook his head vigorously, saying, "Friend, how many do you want?"
"At least 100,000!" Liu Xiaoyuan said calmly.
"What!?" This amount, while not a large sum for Song Yishang, was certainly not a small amount either.
"Is it too much? Then let's drink!" Liu Xiaoyuan said, unscrewing the cap, grabbing Song Yishang's mouth, and pouring the wine into Song Yishang's mouth.
Song Yishang choked and coughed repeatedly, shaking his head and making muffled noises.
"I'm willing to pay, I'm willing to pay!" Being forced to drink like that, even if you don't die, you'll be half dead.
Song Yishang had made up his mind. He would give the money to Liu Xiaoyuan for now, and then, once he was safe, he would immediately call the police and accuse Liu Xiaoyuan of extortion. In that case, he would be the ultimate victor with the stolen goods and the guilty party at large.
“I’ve changed my mind. I want two hundred thousand!” Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly said.
"Huh!?" Song Yishang was completely dumbfounded. Just now it only cost 100,000, how come it has suddenly become 200,000? Even flying doesn't go this fast!
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Song Yishang and said, "If you say 'yes' again, I'll have to raise the price!"
Song Yishang dared not do it again. Anyway, whether it was 100,000 or 200,000, it was just temporarily deposited with Liu Xiaoyuan. If he called the police later, the money would still be back in his pocket.
Thinking this through, Song Yishang immediately nodded and agreed.
Song Yishang immediately logged into his mobile banking app and transferred 200,000 yuan to Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Friend, can I leave now?" Song Yishang asked Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "Not yet, we'll have to wait a bit."
Liu Xiaoyuan found Lin Xin's phone number and dialed it.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I have something to ask you!" Liu Xiaoyuan said after the call connected.
"My benefactor, what is it?" Lin Xin asked.
"Here's the thing, an official from the Education Bureau just tried to bribe me, so I wanted to ask for the phone number for the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection or the Discipline Inspection Commission. I want to report this," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
When Song Yishang, who was in the private room, heard this, he was stunned. He originally thought that he could get rid of the trouble by spending money, but he did not expect to bring himself even more trouble.
Lin Xin said, "I'm with Secretary Fang right now. I'll give him the phone, and you can talk to him."
After taking the phone, Fang Jianyang said, "Hello, this is Fang Jianyang."
"Hello, Secretary Fang..." So Liu Xiaoyuan told Fang Jianyang about the matter, and Fang Jianyang was so angry that he almost threw his phone.
Damn it! During the time that Yuanda Group was investing and building, why did things like this keep happening? Fang Jianyang was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
"Secretary Fang, we're in the Ziyunxuan private room at the Jucheng Hotel!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Song Yishang's eyes were practically spitting fire as he lunged at Liu Xiaoyuan like a madman, yelling, "I'll fight you to the death!"
Song Yishang's background is already questionable. If this report is filed, he might lose his job, which is a minor issue; he might even end up in jail for rehabilitation.
Liu Xiaoyuan kicked Song Yishang, sending him sprawling to the ground, where he clutched his hand and groaned in pain.
Lin Xin and Fang Jianyang, along with several other county leaders, happened to be having dinner at the Jucheng Hotel that evening to discuss investment and construction matters. Therefore, upon receiving Liu Xiaoyuan's call, they immediately rushed over.
Upon seeing Lin Xin and the others enter, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately stepped forward to greet them, pointing at Fang Jinzhong and Song Yishang and saying, "These two tried to resist and escape after I reported them. I had no choice but to take action."
Regardless, hitting someone is wrong. To help Liu Xiaoyuan, Lin Xin immediately said, "Secretary Fang, it seems that the fight against corruption really depends on the masses!"
Fang Jianyang wasn't stupid; he immediately knew that Lin Xin was speaking up for Liu Xiaoyuan.
“Yes, General Lin is right. Our Party must rely on the masses. If we leave the masses, we are like fish out of water,” Fang Jianyang said with a smile.
Song Yishang immediately cried to Fang Jianyang, saying that this was slander and that he had been blackmailed by Liu Xiaoyuan.
Fang Jianyang glanced at Song Yishang and said angrily, "Whether it's slander or extortion, go tell the police and the disciplinary committee!"
Upon hearing the words "Disciplinary Committee," Song Yishang wilted like a frostbitten eggplant!
Fang Jinzhong, who was standing to the side, was so frightened that he fainted. He had finally managed to get into the system, but if the Discipline Inspection Commission investigated him, he would lose everything immediately!
Soon, the police and the disciplinary committee arrived and took Song Yishang and the other two away. As the police dragged them away, Song Yishang did not forget to give Liu Xiaoyuan a venomous look.
Because Song Yishang accused Liu Xiaoyuan of extortion, Liu Xiaoyuan was also taken to the police station for questioning. With Tan Wanyi and another girl as witnesses, after taking their statements and confiscating Song Yishang's ill-gotten gains, the police let Liu Xiaoyuan go home.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that the reason he was released so quickly was because of Lin Xin's connections; otherwise, he would have been detained for at least two days, if not ten or fifteen days, in addition to the investigation.
