Han Xingping's pleas continued, putting Wen Shao in a dilemma. In fact, whether Du Qian was murdered at Han Xingping's behest was irrelevant. In their eyes, what did the life or death of a small police station chief matter?
It's just that the action team leader, Ning Zhiheng, is embarrassed. His newly recruited disciple was killed. If he doesn't cause a stir, wouldn't others look down on him, and who would follow him in the future?
If we put ourselves in each other's shoes, we wouldn't let this go easily either! Besides, Zhao Ziliang made it very clear on the phone that Ning Zhiheng has an extremely powerful background, and even the section chief would have to treat him differently. I'm afraid my own influence is not enough!
Zhao Ziliang is right. Offending someone like that could lead to endless trouble. If all else fails, we might as well just let Han Xingping fend for himself!
But as soon as this thought arose, Wen Shao hesitated again when he looked at Han Xingping, who was terrified in front of him.
He's been with me for so many years, am I really going to just watch him die?
It must be said that, in terms of character and conduct, Wen Shao is definitely a kind and honest person. In this treacherous officialdom, there are very few people who are willing to lend a helping hand without regard for their own interests!
Having made up his mind, he slowly said to Han Xingping, "You heard the phone call just now. That Team Leader Ning from the Military Intelligence Investigation Department has a powerful background. Even the higher-ups in the department are unwilling to offend him. In the end, he still refused to give me face. This matter is going to be very difficult for you! I estimate that they will soon get Pei Wenyao's confession and come knocking on your door!"
Hearing Wen Shao's words, Han Xingping, who was already completely lost, felt as if he had fallen into hell. He could only keep pleading, "Director, what should I do? I really didn't do anything, this disaster just happened out of nowhere!"
Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly said, "I remember now, Du Qian was targeted by the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department some time ago. He had no other choice but to spend a lot of money to become a disciple of this Team Leader Ning. I was also angry that Du Qian had switched allegiances, so I inquired about this Team Leader Ning. It is said that he has no other hobbies, except that he likes British pounds and US dollars the most! I am willing to give up all my wealth to ask the Director to intervene and help me avoid this disaster!"
Wen Shao's eyes lit up. As long as they love money, that's fine! He was most afraid of these Whampoa Military Academy graduates. They were young, arrogant, and impervious to reason. As long as there was a point of entry, that was fine. These days, as long as there are interests involved, you can sit down and talk!
As long as the other party can save face and the benefits are sufficient, this matter can still be resolved peacefully without damaging the relationship or causing future troubles!
Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and dialed Zhao Ziliang again. This time, his demands were extremely low. He only asked that Han Xingping be protected, and that Pei Wenyao be spared as well, to be used as a scapegoat. He would leave the other conditions to Ning Zhiheng, and Han Xingping was willing to give up all his wealth to avoid disaster! He only asked Zhao Ziliang to act as a mediator!
These conditions were quite accommodating, and since Wen Shao was a long-time friend, Zhao Ziliang couldn't refuse any longer and agreed to mediate.
Zhao Ziliang put down the phone, thought about it carefully, and then called Ning Zhiheng.
At this moment, Ning Zhiheng was in his office, waiting for news of Sun Jiacheng's interrogation of Pei Wenyao. As long as he got the confession, he would directly take action against Han Xingping. In the face of life and death, he could set whatever conditions he wanted.
Just then, the phone on the table rang. He picked it up and heard it was Section Chief Zhao Ziliang.
"Section Chief, have you gotten the results of the audit of Yong'an Bank's accounts?" Ning Zhiheng's first thought was about Yong'an Bank, but he didn't expect the results to come out so quickly.
"Zhiheng, the results of the investigation into Yong'an Bank won't be available until tomorrow. The workload is too heavy, and our people are working hard to expedite it. Don't worry!" Zhao Ziliang hesitated for a moment before finally turning the topic to Han Xingping. "I'm here to talk to you about something else. I heard that you arrested a section chief from the police headquarters because of the death of Du Qian, the chief of the Xicheng Police Station?"
Ning Zhiheng immediately knew that someone had informed Zhao Ziliang about the matter. However, he was not worried. This matter was just a show to scare outsiders. The real purpose was to negotiate with Han Xingping and ultimately gain control of the Kangyuankou Pass.
The fact that Zhao Ziliang is calling now means that Han Xingping and his people have started working on things, and we can start negotiating terms now. That's good, it saves us the trouble of interrogating Pei Wenyao!
"Yes, Section Chief, I didn't expect this matter to alarm you. What instructions do you have?" Ning Zhiheng replied.
“I didn’t give any instructions. It was the people behind Han Xingping, the deputy director of the police department, Wen Shao, who did the work. He said that Han Xingping wanted to talk to you in person. He was very humble, only asking to save his life, and was willing to give his life to apologize to you!”
"Zhiheng, I'm just acting as a middleman. Wen Shao is also a former subordinate of the director, so I really can't refuse! What do you think?" Zhao Ziliang spoke tactfully on the phone, stating the conditions Wen Shao had offered and letting Ning Zhiheng decide for himself.
Ning Zhiheng knew when to stop. He wasn't arrogant enough to refuse Zhao Ziliang's request. Besides, the matter had already achieved its objective.
He quickly said respectfully, "So it's your old friend, Section Chief. I was reckless this time. Everything will be done according to your wishes, Section Chief. I have no complaints whatsoever!"
"Haha!" Zhao Ziliang laughed heartily on the other end of the phone. He was extremely satisfied with Ning Zhiheng's attitude, which showed that the young man was absolutely respectful to his superior.
This made him appreciate Ning Zhiheng even more. He knew how to advance and retreat, and he knew how to be respectful. Ning Zhiheng was definitely a competent and sensible subordinate!
