Chapter 1356 Framed (Page 1/1)
Zhu Xiangyang got up early this morning.
Last night, Zhu Xiangyang tossed and turned for most of the night.
Thinking of the embarrassment Zhou Zhixin was about to face today, Zhu Xiangyang went over the whole thing in his mind. After finding that there was nothing missing, he still couldn't fall asleep.
For some reason, Zhu Xiangyang's heart was pounding. This kind of situation had happened to him twice in the past few years.
This kind of situation always signals bad luck to Zhu Xiangyang.
Once, Zhu Xiangyang was locked up in a cowshed early the next morning. Another time, two years ago, Zhu Xiangyang lost the election that he thought was a sure win.
Is there something bad waiting for him tomorrow morning? Thinking of this, Zhu Xiangyang couldn't sleep anymore.
Zhu Xiangyang simply got up and went to the rooftop to look at the stars.
The house was silent. As Zhu Xiangyang watched the cold wind blow in the direction of Zhou Zhixin's house, his hatred grew stronger. If his Ah Jun were still alive, his old age wouldn't be so bleak, and the old couple would have a companion.
Early the next morning, Zhu Xiangyang drank a cup of strong tea and ate the breakfast carefully prepared by the housekeeping aunt, then set off for work.
Secretary Jin said that he would come to the office this morning to report the progress of the matter to Zhu Xiangyang.
Before work hours, Secretary Jin was already waiting in front of the office building with an anxious look on his face. When he saw Zhu Xiangyang get out of the car, Secretary Jin hurried over.
"Minister Zhu, you're finally here." Secretary Jin said while wiping the sweat from his face.
"Xiao Jin, go in and talk." Zhu Xiangyang's heart skipped a beat when he saw Secretary Jin's anxious look.
This doesn't seem like a sign that everything is going well! Could it be that Xiao Jin messed up the task he asked him to do?
"Minister Zhu, it's like this..." Secretary Jin followed Zhu Xiangyang into the office and started talking a lot.
When Zhu Xiangyang heard Secretary Jin say that more than a dozen containers that were originally detained in the dock warehouse disappeared last night, his face turned as black as if ink could drip out.
"Xiao Jin, are you sure what Section Chief Wu said is true? Could it be that Section Chief Wu asked Zhao Guohui to transport the things away in order to please the Zhou family? Or... Section Chief Wu took those goods out and sold them privately?" Zhu Xiangyang had a stern face and stared at Secretary Jin with deep dissatisfaction in his eyes.
No wonder Zhu Xiangyang thought this way.
The dock warehouse has always been heavily guarded.
Section Chief Wu is in charge of inspecting goods. Any seized container cannot leave the warehouse without Section Chief Wu's permission.
A container weighs several tons. How could it possibly disappear without Section Chief Wu's cooperation? Moreover, Zhao Guohui had more than a dozen containers seized this time!
"No, no, Minister Zhu, Chief Wu is my fellow villager. He has said before that he wholeheartedly admires you and wants to work for you. How dare he have the guts to do two things at once?" Secretary Jin explained anxiously.
Secretary Jin didn't dare tell Zhu Xiangyang that Section Chief Wu was actually his cousin's husband. Section Chief Wu wasn't very capable, but he had a lot of ambition. He had set his sights on the position of chief manager of the dock a while ago and was determined to get close to Zhu Xiangyang!
Secretary Jin had something to tell him, and Section Chief Wu ran faster than anyone else. How could he give up Zhu Xiangyang and try to please the Zhou family!
"Then...did you do what I asked you to do yesterday?" Zhu Xiangyang thought about it and felt a little uneasy.
Yesterday, Zhu Xiangyang asked Secretary Jin to implement the third plan, which was to take some things out of Zhao Guohui's container and put some things back in when necessary.
The things put in there were several guns and some ammunition, which are contraband in China.
Contraband was found in the container that Zhao Guohui was about to ship out of the country, which was a serious crime.
Originally, Zhu Xiangyang and Secretary Jin had a good plan. They asked Section Chief Wu to stuff the things into the container when he was off work.
This morning, Section Chief Wu cried "stop thief" and took a few people to check the Zhao family's container.
As long as someone takes something out of Zhao Guohui's container in public, Zhao Guohui will definitely be arrested.
At that time, Zhou Zhixin would definitely speak up for Zhao Guohui. If Zhou Zhixin didn't move, it would be fine. But if he did, Zhu Xiangyang would be sure to trip him up.
"They've put it away. Yesterday evening, Section Chief Wu called me and said the items had been put away. He was just waiting for work this morning to bring someone to check." Secretary Jin said this with a somewhat mournful look on her face. "Last night, the patrol officers at the docks discovered that more than a dozen containers were missing from Warehouse No. 9. They immediately called Section Chief Wu. Section Chief Wu checked and found that the missing containers were indeed the Zhao family's."
If Guangguang had lost Zhao Guohui's container, Secretary Jin wouldn't have been so worried. The problem was that after listening to Zhu Xiangyang's plan, Secretary Jin secretly changed it.
Originally, the things that Zhu Xiangyang asked Secretary Jin to frame were a few ordinary guns, which were almost scrapped.
Secretary Jin was eager to make a contribution, so he replaced the ordinary guns and ammunition with a new type of weapon developed by Zhou Jiasheng's laboratory - the photon gun.
There is only one of this new type of weapon so far, and it was just delivered to a confidential warehouse the day before yesterday for use as a sample.
Secretary Jin borrowed it from the warehouse in the name of Zhu Xiangyang to "watch" it for a day.
Secretary Jin had originally thought, "Hit the haystack, kill the birds!" If they found the new photon gun in Zhao Guohui's container, they could implicate not only Zhao Guohui but also the Zhou family. They'd say Zhou Jiasheng was secretly selling the latest weapons, and Zhao Guohui was the one handling them.
Then, taking advantage of the chaos, Chief Wu took the opportunity to take the photon gun back, and Secretary Jin's frame-up was successful.
What happened? The photon gun that Section Chief Wu was supposed to return this morning disappeared along with the container last night.
Secretary Jin couldn't stop sweating whenever she thought about her mistakes.
"Minister Zhu, what should we do? Chief Wu said he wants to report the case. I asked him to wait a while." Secretary Jin asked, blinking her eyes.
"Of course we have to report it! So many containers are missing, and Chief Wu isn't going to report it, just to wait for people to accuse him of embezzlement?" Zhu Xiangyang gave Secretary Jin a disdainful look. Secretary Jin usually seemed quite smart, so how could he be so frightened by such a small incident?
"Minister Zhu, that... that..." Secretary Jin hesitated to speak.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you dragging your feet?" Zhu Xiangyang was a little impatient.
Even if the Zhao family's container is missing, they can think of other ways! Isn't there only one chance?
"Minister Zhu, please take a look." Secretary Jin saw that he could no longer hide the secret, so he had to show the document of his "borrowing" weapons to Zhu Xiangyang.
"The photon gun you borrowed yesterday? Where is it? I was just planning to borrow it today to have a look!" Zhu Xiangyang looked around his office and indeed did not find the thing on the document.
