"Uncle Maodan."
Zhang Hua called out softly, bringing Mao Danming back to his senses.
Mao Danming looked at Zhang Hua with the same expression as he had many years ago. "Xiao Hua, what do you want me to do?"
The tone was very similar to that year when Mao Danming asked Zhang Hua whether he wanted to build a snowman and whether he liked the small orange lantern.
"...I want my dad to get the punishment he deserves."
Zhang Hua was very embarrassed before making a choice, but very decisive after making the choice.
Mao Danming was very happy to hear Zhang Hua say this, and nodded with a smile: "Okay!"
I like snowmen and small orange lights, given by Mao Danming.
Mao Danming wanted Zhang Zhijun to be punished, so he gave it to him.
Zhang Hua wanted to say something, but Mao Danming took the initiative to end the meeting, saying that he had something to explain.
"Uncle Maodan——"
Mao Danming took a last look at Zhang Hua and silently mouthed "Let's go".
This place is not suitable for Zhang Hua.
Zhang Hua was raised by Sister Meishu, and he is as kind and clean as Sister Meishu. No matter whether it is the Lu family's business or Zhang Zhijun's crime, Zhang Hua should not be involved.
Zhang Hua knew what Mao Danming would face. The police took Zhang Hua away, and Zhang Hua looked back every few steps.
It was not until Zhang Hua's back disappeared at the door that Mao Danming's eyes began to tear up.
The silent Mao Danming chose to explain the problem, and he would not hold back a single word for Zhang Zhijun.
Mao Danming knew that the more he confessed, the greater the chance of Zhang Zhijun being killed, and of course, the worse the outcome he would face.
But Mao Danming obviously no longer cares.
“I was originally from the Lu family.”
Speaking of the Lu family, Mao Danming's face flickered with nostalgia. "Later, Zhang Zhijun partnered with the Lu family in business. He was a master at winning people over, often promising us a rosy picture. He meant the Lu family wasn't bold enough. They controlled the distribution channels, yet they were content with small-scale operations. The Lu family didn't make much money, so naturally, those of us who worked with them could only make enough to make ends meet."
"So you betrayed the Lu family and joined Zhang Zhijun?"
The police's words brought a sarcastic smile to Mao Danming's face. He was not satirizing the police, but himself and his accomplices from that year.
They are all country people.
In order to survive, they dare to fight and struggle.
In order to live a good life, they are not afraid of going to jail.
But when it comes to intelligence, they are like a bunch of idiots, and all of them combined are not as smart as Zhang Zhijun!
"Zhang Zhijun asked us if we wanted to get rich, and we all did. The Lu family had been very good to us, but they didn't want to expand their business, and we felt we had no future with them. Gradually, we all sided with Zhang Zhijun. When Boss Lu found out, he was furious and told us to think things over, saying the more money we made, the higher the risk. We were all bewitched by Zhang Zhijun and broke with the family. Boss Lu, in a rage, wanted to beat Zhang Zhijun to death, but when we tried to stop him, Zhang Zhijun wounded Boss Lu in the leg."
Mao Danming murmured, "We are the ones who have let Boss Lu down. We haven't followed the code of conduct in the underworld. Actually, now that I think about it, Boss Lu was right. What's the point of making so much money? The more money you make, the greater the sin. I've always worked with Zhang Zhijun, and some of my brothers back then got scared and wanted to quit. As far as I know, as soon as the thought of quitting comes up and it's expressed, it won't be long before something bad happens. One person died in an armed robbery while traveling abroad, and another was left paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident. Zhang Zhijun provided excellent compensation for both of these people, and their families have been well settled... But with these two examples in mind, we know that you can't quit doing business with Zhang Zhijun."
If we don't quit, we are all in the same boat.
Will those who choose to quit sink the boat after getting off it?
Only on the same boat will Zhang Zhijun and others be safe.
Aside from this, Zhang Zhijun wasn't exactly stingy with money, having fulfilled his promise when he led Mao Danming and his men to betray the Lu family. Those assigned to Jinhu subsidiaries, like Mao Danming, didn't have much in the way of assets, but they actually owned properties abroad. The same was true for the others.
On one side is the temptation of money, and on the other side is the fear of "not being able to quit". Zhang Zhijun is very skilled in using intimidation and inducement.
As for why Mao Danming took the risk to deal with Zhang Zhijun, he said he was tired.
"I don't have many relatives in my hometown, and my wife and I are just a nominal couple. Others earn money to leave to their children, but even if I earn money, it's useless!"
——What’s more, Zhang Zhijun forced Sister Meishu to death.
Mao Danming was unwilling to mention Lu Meishu in front of the police.
He felt that his feelings for Lu Meishu were a delusion.
Lu Meishu didn't know what he had been thinking over the years, and she didn't need to know. As long as she lived a happy life, Mao Danming would be satisfied.
Zhang Zhijun shouldn't have let Sister Meishu down, let alone forced her to death.
Mao Danming asked the police: "Can you give me a cigarette?"
If the suspect is willing to cooperate with the investigation, his request to smoke a cigarette can be easily satisfied.
Mao Danming had already vented his emotions, and after smoking a cigarette, it was almost time to explain the practical matters.
Mao Danming cherishes this cigarette very much.
The smell of cigarettes hadn't dissipated yet when Mao Danming cleared his throat. "The problem isn't just with the accounts of the Jinhu subsidiary, it's also not just with Zhang Zhijun himself. Zhang Zhijun is our big boss, but I know he has partners. There are many people, both domestic and foreign, who make money with Zhang Zhijun..."
After receiving the news of Lu Meishu's death, Mao Danming actually went crazy.
He didn't stab Zhang Zhijun to death, not out of fear of him, nor out of concern for Zhang Hua. He would have done it regardless of Zhang Hua's approval. The USB drive was indeed a test, Mao Danming's attempt to determine if Zhang Hua was on Lu Meishu's side. Now that he had his answer, Mao Danming was pleased with Zhang Hua's choice.
It would certainly be easy to kill Zhang Zhijun, but Mao Danming's pain would not be relieved by stabbing Zhang Zhijun to death!
Mao Danming wanted to leave Zhang Zhijun with nothing.
The smuggling channels that Zhang Zhijun had run for many years, Zhang Zhijun's wealth, Zhang Zhijun's reputation, all of these things were destroyed by Zhang Zhijun, and then let Zhang Zhijun die... This would be satisfying!
In front of the police, Mao Danming's smile was very sinister.
…
interrogation room.
Zhang Zhijun still insisted that it was all a misunderstanding.
He responded flawlessly in every interrogation. At first, he insisted on speaking for Xie Jinghu, but later his attitude became uncertain.
"I have no idea."
These are the four words Zhang Zhijun uses most frequently when speaking, and he knows nothing about them.
Zhang Zhijun felt that something was wrong.
The police shouldn't have detained Zhang Hua for so long just for a small commotion he caused.
Could it be Mao Danming's side... Impossible, Mao Danming knows what can be said and what cannot be said, and he knows very well what the fate of those who betray him will be.
As time passed, Zhang Zhijun became a little anxious from being calm.
When the police came again, Zhang Zhijun was hesitating whether to reveal something appropriate to direct the police's investigation towards the Lu family.
The police's words shocked Zhang Zhijun.
"Mao Danming, the head of Kumho's subsidiary, has confessed his guilt. Not only did he confess himself, he also identified you!"
For a moment, Zhang Zhijun couldn't tell whether Mao Danming was crazy or the world was crazy.
