Min Ziqian would never admit that he planned this incident personally. He just wanted to stop Leader Liang from committing a crime and didn't want to go to jail.
"Whether I'm slandering you or not, the results will be known soon. Think about it here..." Lin Qingqing pointed to her head: "If the leader was really killed, it would be a different matter, but he's not dead now. Do you think he can easily let go of those who want to harm him?"
"What does this have to do with me?" Min Ziqian said.
"Maybe it really has nothing to do with you, but if the boss finds out who's trying to harm him, think about the consequences. Instead of being caught shielding a criminal, it's better to turn yourself in now. Maybe you can even mitigate your crime by making meritorious contributions."
Min Ziqian clenched his hands tightly under the table, his palms full of sweat.
He naturally knew that the consequences of surrendering and being arrested were different.
But he still had a glimmer of hope. The murderer had been sent away. If nothing unexpected happened, he would never come back here in his life. Only he and Leader Liang knew about this matter. If he didn't say it and Leader Liang didn't say it, no one would know.
He didn't know what kind of leverage Lin Qingqing had on him, and now he regretted taking the risk of delivering the note.
The reason why he took the risk of writing the note was that he didn't want Leader Liang to commit a crime. After all, Leader Liang had done him a favor, and he had done all the dirty things Leader Liang had asked him to do before. But this time, human life was involved, and he didn't want to watch Leader Liang go down a path of no return.
Secondly, he still has a conscience. Leader Wei is a local official who cares about the people and is a good official praised by everyone. He couldn't bear to do this, so he tried every means to remind him.
But he didn't expect that when he slipped the note, Lin Qingqing had already left. She had been gone for three days, and it was too late when he learned the news.
"You don't have to say anything more, I don't know anything." Min Ziqian stood up and was about to leave.
"You don't have to rush to agree to me. I'll give you a day to think it over. I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow at the same time."
Min Ziqian paused for a moment, then took big strides and walked away.
Liang Zhengen learned about the failed assassination attempt on Wei Lizhong last night. He didn't sleep all night and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
After finally making it to daybreak, he hurried to the government building, but did not see Min Ziqian as expected. He called the people below in and asked, "Where is Min Ziqian?"
The people below replied, "I heard from the gatekeeper that he went to meet his lover."
"Nonsense!" Liang Zhengen swept a stack of documents to the ground, scattering them all over the floor. "It's time to be together now, what's the point of having a lover?"
The people below had no idea what happened last night, and had no idea why their leader was so angry. They stood there trembling and dared not move.
"Get out of here!" Liang Zhengen swept the teacup to the ground, breaking porcelain pieces all over the floor.
The people below fled in a panic.
The leader is so moody and hard to please. I don’t know how Min Ziqian usually tolerates him.
Liang Zhengen was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room, his belly bulging like a big toad, but he couldn't tell anyone what was in his mind, he could only tell Min Ziqian. But he went to meet his lover at this time, which was really tactless of him.
He walked around for dozens of rounds, and Min Ziqian finally came back, closed the door, and stood there with his head down, looking like he was waiting to be scolded.
"Where have you been?" Liang Zhengen asked coldly.
