Qiao Xingwang said, "Dad, there's no need to be so harsh. Although Cheng Hongwei is ambitious, his crimes don't warrant death."
Qiao Sheng snorted, "Boss, you're too soft-hearted. You need to strike at the heart of the problem. If you don't kill him this time, he'll keep jumping around next time. He dared to rebel while I was sick this time, he'll dare to kill me next time."
Qiao Xingwang was about to say something when Qiao Shanshan interrupted him.
"Dad, can Huaiyuan be the vice-captain?"
Qiao Sheng thought for a moment, then said, "Okay."
Qiao Wanyue returned from outside and happened to overhear the Qiao family's conspiracy.
That family is pretty ruthless.
Even without this bean sprouting incident, Qiao Sheng wouldn't have kept Cheng Hongwei for long.
These days, it's too easy to kill someone.
A single charge of speculation and profiteering is enough to get you kicked out.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Wanyue decided to give Cheng Hongwei a heads-up.
When she arrived, Cheng Hongwei was still calculating the profits.
"Director Qiao, you've arrived." He unconsciously used a respectful form of address.
Qiao Wanyue told Cheng Hongwei what she had overheard at the Qiao family.
Cheng Hongwei simply smiled after hearing this.
"Please sit down."
Cheng Hongwei's wife also came over, carrying a red kettle. She placed two glasses on the table, poured two glasses of hot water, and handed them to Qiao Wanyue, saying, "Drink some water to warm yourself up."
Cheng Hongwei took the water and smiled gently at his wife, "Why are you here?"
His wife snorted coldly and said fiercely, "From now on, you can sleep at the team headquarters and don't come home."
Although her tone was reproachful, she also thoughtfully reminded him that the hot water was too hot.
The couple smiled at each other.
Cheng Hongwei's eyes were full of tenderness.
"You two chat, I won't disturb you." She put the lid on the kettle, got up, and went into the inner room.
Qiao Wanyue watched her retreating figure and smiled, "Captain Cheng, you must protect your life. Your wife cares about you a lot."
When his wife was mentioned, Cheng Hongwei's eyes softened considerably.
He nodded solemnly.
"Captain Cheng, do you know why I came back this time?" Qiao Wanyue asked.
Cheng Hongwei shook his head.
Qiao Wanyue smiled and said, "A few days ago, Liang Xiu told me that Qiao Sheng was dying. He was seen by the county magistrate when he had an attack. He said that his last wish was for his daughter to come home and see him one last time."
Cheng Hongwei twitched the corner of his mouth.
He had heard the rumor, but he thought it was just hearsay.
The result is true.
Qiao Sheng doesn't seem to be on his deathbed.
It has been almost ten days since Qiao Wanyue returned home, and he is still lively and energetic, showing no signs of impending death.
It was clearly an attempt to wear down Qiao Wanyue.
Qiao Wanyue is the director of the development department in the commune. She has no power or influence and has gotten to where she is today entirely on her own. If she were to take a year or two off, who would remember this young girl?
Qiao Sheng's intentions are extremely malicious.
Qiao Wanyue saw that he understood.
“Qiao Sheng is trying to drag me down now, and I won’t let him get away with it. Captain Cheng, are you willing to join forces with me to bring Qiao Sheng down and make him suffer the consequences? From now on, you will be in charge of the Qiao Family Brigade.” Qiao Wanyue stared intently into Cheng Hongwei’s eyes.
Cheng Hongwei must have felt a little embarrassed to be stared at with such sincere eyes by a young girl.
But he was gradually moved by the girl's determined eyes.
He said "Okay" almost as if possessed.
late at night
Cheng Hongwei tossed and turned in bed. How could he have so easily agreed to Director Qiao's request? It wasn't that he didn't trust Qiao Wanyue, but rather that he didn't trust himself. He knew the internal structure of the Qiao family brigade better than Qiao Wanyue did.
The entire leadership of the brigade consisted of Qiao Sheng's confidants; how could he possibly stand against Qiao Sheng all by himself?
