Provincial Department.
Wang Qirui stayed alone in the spacious but unusually dull office. He was like a trapped beast, trying his best to suppress the rage surging in his heart. He paced back and forth in the office. Every step was filled with resentment and resentment. The sound of his leather shoes hitting the ground was particularly harsh in the silent space.
It seemed that there was something stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it!
His eyes were red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Fuck! Wu Chengzhu, this guy, actually doesn't take me seriously? He even wants to interfere in my affairs?"
When he thought of this, he clenched his fists unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
"And Wan Zhenting from Pingyang, how dare you ignore my words?" Wang Qirui stopped abruptly and turned to face the window. The bustling city scene outside the window was like an illusion in his eyes, which could not calm his anger at all. His chest rose and fell violently, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly, full of resentment and dissatisfaction.
"That old guy Lu Chengze...why doesn't he take action yet? When can he get rid of Wu Chengzhu, this troublesome guy?" Wang Qirui muttered to himself, with a hint of desperate expectation in his voice, and stared into the distance with empty eyes, as if he wanted to find a ray of hope from the endless sky.
At this moment, he was like a person who had been struggling in the darkness for a long time, eagerly longing for the arrival of dawn, but the dawn was nowhere to be seen.
Just then, a rapid phone call broke the silence in the room.
Wang Qirui glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Wu Chengzhu's number. A sinister expression instantly appeared at the corner of his mouth. He snorted coldly and answered the call with resentment.
Soon, Wu Chengzhu's cold and somewhat majestic voice came from the phone, "Old Wang, why didn't you file a record when you sent people to Pingyang to investigate? Did you know that Lin Yang's men shot and killed five people? I heard that you kept putting pressure on the Pingyang Municipal Bureau, asking them to release the people now?" Wu Chengzhu snorted coldly, and the voice was like an ice cone, piercing Wang Qirui's heart, "You're going to get into trouble if you do this! You'd better not do anything now, wait for the results of the Pingyang Municipal Bureau's investigation to come out, and then make a decision. In addition, I want to inform you that Director Pei is also paying attention to this matter, you should know this!"
When Wang Qirui heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his anger instantly grew even more intense.
Is this a knock?
Even if I, Wang Qirui, did something wrong, it should be Pei Yulin, the head of the provincial department, who should teach me a lesson. Who do you think you are, Wu Chengzhu? What do you mean by calling me and saying this? Do you really think I, Wang Qirui, am just a pawn of the provincial department?
This is fucking...this is too disrespectful, isn't it?
His face was so gloomy as if water could drip out of it. He bit his back teeth hard, and held the phone tightly with both hands. His knuckles crackled due to the force, and the corners of his eyes were tightened more and more, as if this could help him hold back his anger.
"Lao Wang, are you listening? Consider the consequences before doing anything and don't act on impulse! This is what Director Pei asked me to tell you, so take care of yourself!" After saying that, Wu Chengzhu hung up the phone mercilessly.
Wang Qirui did not utter a word throughout the entire process.
He just stood there like a frozen statue, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became deeper with anger, and his eyes were filled with endless hatred and frustration.
He hated himself for being incompetent.
Although she and Wu Chengzhu are both at the department level, she is controlled by him in every way. In the game of power, she is like a chess piece that can be manipulated by others and has no ability to fight back.
Now, they are even using Pei Yulin's name to pressure him, leaving him speechless with grievances!
After a long time, Wang Qirui slowly came back to his senses. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, but the flames of anger could not be suppressed.
He calmed down and dialed Lu Chengze's number directly.
He wanted to give Lu Chengze a final ultimatum. If Lu Chengze could not fulfill his promise as soon as possible, then he would never care about Lu Chengze's affairs again.
The call was connected, and Lu Chengze's slightly dull voice came, "Qi Rui, you are calling at this time, what happened?"
Wang Qirui smiled coldly, his laughter was full of self-mockery and despair, and he said, "Old leader, I need to report to you solemnly. In order to help you, the three confidants I sent out were all detained by the Pingyang Municipal Bureau. If they don't keep their mouths shut, I'm afraid both of us will be in trouble. Moreover, this trouble is not small. After all, it involves six lives!"
At this point, Wang Qirui seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "No, it's not six lives. As far as I know, there are also two dead and eleven seriously injured in the factory... Old leader, if this matter is found out, it won't be as simple as going to jail or not. I'm afraid my life will be over!"
Wang Qirui's voice trembled slightly, and his words were full of anxiety and fear. He knew very well that he had fallen into a huge vortex, and if he was not careful, he would be swallowed up by endless darkness.
Lu Chengze could tell that Wang Qirui's words were filled with resentment. He took a deep breath, remained silent for a moment, and quickly comforted him, "Qirui, that matter is in progress...soon..."
"How long is 'soon'? Old leader, things have come to this point, you can't fool me anymore, you must give me an exact time! If my men can't stand the interrogation of the Pingyang police and reveal me, all of us in the same boat will be doomed!" Wang Qirui interrupted Lu Chengze abruptly, his voice raised by several decibels, almost roaring.
At this moment, he has lost his former composure, and in the face of desperation, his inner fragility is completely exposed.
