Chapter 222 fell...
"That was Gao Zihua's own decision, what does it have to do with me?"
Zheng Huaixin pressed his ten fingers firmly against the table in front of him, his fingertips turning white from the force, and looked at Li Banxia, "I only asked him to make a slight move, I didn't expect him to be so foolish as to disregard three lives..."
Li Banxia looked at him quietly.
Hearing his last sentence, I couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him with a mocking laugh!
"He acted on his own? You didn't expect him to be so foolish as to disregard human lives? Didn't Secretary Zheng know that he was buying and selling 'human parts' at exorbitant prices?"
Zheng Huaixin pursed his lips, his gaze icy.
Li Banxia scoffed, "He's already been sentenced to life imprisonment with irrefutable evidence, and now you're telling me you didn't expect that? This doesn't seem like the shrewd and manipulative Secretary Zheng!"
"you……"
Zheng Huaixin felt a metallic taste rise in his throat. He called out to Li Banxia and gritted his teeth, "You don't have to be so ruthless as to kill me, do you?"
Li Banxia looked at him and shook her head.
He said, "That's not the kind of thing Secretary Zheng should say, and besides..."
She slightly raised her eyes, glanced sideways at the person who brought her here, and said, "I don't have the ability to kill you. How you got in is something you should ask your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and your good boss."
"……What's the meaning?"
Zheng Huaixin's vision blurred, his pupils contracted slightly, and he opened his mouth, "They... they all know?"
"Cough cough."
The man who brought Li Banxia coughed lightly and reprimanded Zheng Huaixin.
“Zheng Huaixin, confess your crimes honestly when you see people! Gao Zihua has already produced strong evidence proving that you instructed him to give false testimony. The family of the woman who was poisoned also admitted that he accepted a large sum of money from you before he changed his story. It’s futile for you to deny it!”
Zheng Huaixin looked at Li Banxia and said, "It's you!"
"You're really letting your concern cloud your judgment."
Li Banxia sneered, "Gao Zihua has been imprisoned. All the dirty things you made him do in private have already come to light. Wouldn't he take the opportunity to expose them and drag you down with him? Do you think Xu Ying's parents won't be angry? You should know how much suffering Xu Ying has endured over the years to get pregnant. Do you think she won't hate you?"
Zheng Huaixin shook his head.
"Hmm? Or do you think she should be like your niece, a hopeless romantic, and that Xu Ying should unconditionally support and cherish you no matter what you do, like..."
Li Banxia paused, then, as if realizing something, her expression suddenly changed. "...Like your niece risking her life to protect Lin Jiefang, to protect you?"
She stared at Zheng Huaixin for a couple more seconds, then shook her head with a sneer.
"I was always curious before, how could a young and promising secretary like you, with no shortage of cunning and methods, and a bright future, be willing to break the law to help Lin Jiefang? It turns out that you admire each other and think that Lin Jiefang is just like you, a phoenix man who climbed up by stepping on his wife's family! It's a pity that Lin Jiefang has a love-struck wife, but you don't seem to have one."
Zheng Huaixin stared at her, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over him.
He thought of Xu Ying, who had been laughing and being affectionate with him before going to work, but after getting off work, she not only went back to her parents' home, but also refused to see him, and even flew to Hong Kong the next day.
Perhaps she already knew something back then.
Hearing Li Banxia's sarcastic remarks again, Zheng Huaixin was completely distraught.
He asked Li Banxia, "Is it because I helped Lin Jiefang get his sentence reduced that you got involved with Aqin? Did they come to Beijing because of you...?"
Li Banxia shook her head.
“I don’t have that much ability. I didn’t even know you had been to the countryside, so how would I know what you did there? I’m just a woman with limited vision. All I’m doing is protect myself.”
Zheng Huaixin didn't believe her, and stared at her, asking, "Who is that?"
Li Banxia looked at him but did not answer his question.
Zheng Huaixin pressed on, "I had someone investigate. Aqin and Shitou went straight to the city hall after getting off the train and didn't go anywhere else. How did they know so accurately where I work and come straight to my door?!"
"Hmm, so what?"
Li Banxia said calmly, "Are you so sure that in your political career you haven't made one, two, three, or five enemies? Haven't had four, six, seven, eight, or nine competitors? Haven't you been resented by people who asked you for favors because you were too ambitious and had too much influence?"
Zheng Huaixin fell silent.
How could he not have made enemies?
As Li Banxia said, he was young and promising, and his wife's family was very powerful. He relied on this family to make his path very smooth, which attracted a lot of dissatisfaction.
He thought he was meticulous in everything he did and very shrewd in dealing with people, but he never expected that the appearance of Aqin and Shitou would completely destroy the situation he had worked so hard to build over the decades!
His life is stained, and even if he serves his sentence, his political career will be completely ruined.
He thought of Lin Jiefang and began to resent Li Banxia.
"It's because you didn't handle Lin Jiefang well that I had to take action. Otherwise, where would that bastard Gao Zihua have gotten the evidence to dare to accuse me? And where would Aqin have gotten the recording tape to threaten me and extort 50,000 yuan from me..."
Upon hearing the amount of 50,000 yuan, Li Banxia raised an eyebrow.
It wasn't just 50,000; she also got 10,000 from the Xu family on behalf of the aunt and nephew.
"Zheng Huaixin!"
Li Banxia interrupted him, saying, "You don't dare to blame your boss, you don't dare to blame your parents-in-law, and you don't even dare to blame your wife for not being love-struck and not coming to your aid. You only dare to act like a petty person and blame everything on me because I'm weak and easy to bully, right?"
Zheng Huaixin looked at her, pursed his lips, and his eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.
Li Banxia laughed, "You're a college student, and you've been immersed in politics for so many years. Don't you know that even a small mayfly can shake a tree? Now, your tree has fallen."
After saying that, she was too lazy to waste any more words with him and turned to leave.
The person who brought her frowned, glanced back, and saw that she had already opened the door and was leaving. He sighed, "Comrade Li..."
Li Banxia did not respond.
He gave Zheng Huaixin a cold look.
He reminded him, "There's nothing you can do right now. Letting you see Li Banxia is the order from above. You're a smart person; you know what to do."
The man turned and left to chase after Li Banxia.
Zheng Huaixin sat there, muttering, "It's collapsed..."
"Comrade Li!"
The man chased after her, his expression grim, and accused Li Banxia, "You shouldn't have told anyone about Old Xu and that person. If Zheng Huaixin uses them, it will be very bad for them..."
“You can go and complain to me,” Li Banxia said, looking at him expressionlessly.
man,"……"
Ignoring his darkening expression, Li Banxia continued, "This matter ends here. I have fulfilled my duty, and I do not wish for myself and my family to be disturbed any further."
After saying that, he walked to the car, opened the back door, and got in.
The man was stunned.
Li Banxia rolled down the car window and knocked on the car door. "You picked me up, so you have to take me back. This place is too remote and it's hard to get a taxi here."
man,"……"
He was speechless. It wasn't appropriate to kick the person out, so he had no choice but to send them back.
Li Banxia pushed open the courtyard gate. Su Laosan and Fang Erniu, who were squatting by the hand pump washing vegetables and talking, looked up at the same time. When they saw her, Fang Erniu exclaimed in surprise, "Auntie is back."
