“Old Zhang, I heard you say that you want to make a lot of money. Even if you risk your life, it doesn’t matter. Is that true?”
“That’s true. My body is deteriorating day by day. I’m sick. Look at my neck. I have an aneurysm. The doctor already told me that if I don’t have an operation, I won’t be able to delay it for long.”
“This aneurysm is that powerful?”
“That’s right. It’s similar to cancer, but this can be treated with surgery. The only thing is that it’s expensive. How can I afford to pay 300,000 yuan for the surgery?”
“I have a way. If you’re willing to do it, I can help you.”
“What way?”
“There’s a guy named Chen. He’s a holdout. He won’t leave a place. My boss offered him 6 million yuan, but he still wants to raise the price. Do you think this person is greedy?”
“6 million? Heh, he’s really f*cking greedy.”
“Yeah, he just sold a broken-down building and easily got 6 million. Are you convinced?”
“Definitely not.”
“So, you just have to think of a way to deal with him. After all, you have all these illnesses. If you succeed, I promise to give you 200,000.”
“Deal with him? How?”
“Then you have to think of a way. Anyway, our goal is to get him to sell the building. It’s as simple as that. At the moment, they are not willing to sell because they are not short of money. When they are short of money, they will probably beg us to sell it.”
“Are you joking?”
“Do you think I am joking? Don’t tell anyone about what I said.”
“Of course not. I’ll keep my mouth shut.”
“I only took care of you because I know about your family’s situation. In fact, if this matter is thrown out, a lot of people will fight over it.”
“This… Please let me think about it.”
“Okay.”
In the Chen’s Restaurant, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
More than ten police officers were gathered at the side.
Seven or eight hooligans were trembling in fear, as if they were sitting on pins and needles, puffing out their chests and raising their heads. They were like three good students who wanted to show off in front of their teachers in primary school.
The recording on the phone ended here. The first recording ended.
Chen Yiyuan turned up the volume very loudly. Everyone could hear it clearly.
Zhang Hongfu did not say a word either. His face alternated between green and white.
A few times, he looked at Chen Jing angrily.
But he saw Chen Jing eating spicy chicken as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Hongfu was naturally familiar with this recording file. He had heard it once last night.
And now that this recording file had appeared in Chen Yiyuan’s hands, there was no doubt that it was done by that little b*stard Chen Jing.
Because yesterday, only Chen Jing had touched his father’s phone.
But how did Chen Jing know that there was a recording in the phone in such a short time yesterday? And he even pretended that there was nothing in it after the incident?
“Zhang Hongfu, does the sound played by this recording sound familiar?” Chen Yiyuan suddenly asked.
“What sounds familiar? What is this?” Zhang Hongfu refused to admit it.
“Then let’s listen to it again. There are six recording files.” Chen Yiyuan clicked on the second one.
Soon, another voice came from the phone.
“——Okay, I’ll do it. That son of a b*tch Chen is so greedy. 6 million is not enough? We can’t earn that money even if we work hard for a lifetime. I don’t have any psychological burden to cheat him.”
“Hey, that’s right. As long as it’s done, it’s agreed to be 200,000. I’ll send it to your house immediately.”
“Then you have to write a contract.”
“Are you stupid? Can I write a contract for this? But if you really want to do it, I can give you 50,000 more as a show of sincerity.”
“Okay, you give me the money. I’ll deal with him tomorrow.”
“Let me remind you. This Chen guy owns a restaurant. He goes to Mingyang Market to buy goods at 5 or 6 o’clock in the morning every day. If you want to find an opportunity, you might as well think of a way while he’s on his way to buy goods.”
“Okay!”
This was the second recording, which was shorter than the first one.
“Do you want to listen to it again? Is this voice really not familiar to you?”
Chen Yiyuan looked at Zhang Hongfu with a burning gaze.
Zhang Hongfu was still trying his best to hold on. He said with a straight face, “I don’t think it’s familiar. Why does the conversation in this recording sound like an act? Did you get someone to record it?”
He was trying his best to hold on, but those hooligans were feeling a little dizzy.
They had grown up together, so how could they not recognize Zhang Junnian’s voice?
Previously, they didn’t know the truth of the matter. Out of brotherhood, they had come together.
Now that they heard the recording, they knew that the Zhang father and son were doing something illegal.
And they were here to cause trouble. F*ck, could they be considered accomplices?
As they thought of this, they wanted to say something, but they hesitated. They wanted to confess their innocence so that the police officers would be lenient.
“You’re still quite stubborn.”
“Don’t think that I don’t know the law just because I haven’t read any books. I’ve watched too much television and know that just a recording can’t prove anything. I’m here today to ask you for money to save a life. If you deliberately delay this, something bad will happen to my father. I’ll definitely sue you,” Zhang Hongfu said fiercely.
“Sue me? Today, I also found a lawyer.” As Chen Yiyuan said this, he asked the man who was carrying a briefcase next to him, “Lawyer Zhou, if I sue them for this case, what is the success rate?”
Lawyer Zhou said, “I can’t say for sure, but there is a 99% success rate. The Zhang father and son deliberately framed you. This already constituted a number of criminal crimes. As for compensation, let’s not talk about it. They should spend the rest of their lives in prison.”
“That’s good.” Chen Yiyuan nodded.
In fact, he still felt a little regretful that he could not bring the son of a real estate tycoon, Wang Yaohua, to justice.
The recording document indeed could not be used as direct evidence.
Moreover, the person who spoke to Zhang Junnian was not Wang Yaohua himself.
Therefore, the follow-up matter could only be handed over to the police.
At this moment, Zhang Hongfu’s heart was actually very empty.
After the recording document was exposed, the confidence in his heart had long been stripped away.
Now, he was really only trying to hold on.
“Stop scaring people. Captain Liu, do you think this recording can be used as direct evidence?” Zhang Hongfu asked Liu Qisheng.
As a veteran police officer, Liu Qisheng had seen everything.
He knew everything. The reason why he did this was to see whether Zhang Hongfu wanted to plead for leniency or to resist.
“The recording can indeed not be used as direct evidence,” Liu Qisheng said.
After receiving Captain Liu’s confirmation, a glimmer of hope rose in Zhang Hongfu’s empty heart once again.
“Did you hear that? It’s useless to play tricks. You kept saying that my father has harmed you. But nothing happened to you, and my father is suffering in the hospital. If you want to get evidence, then get some decent evidence. Don’t mess around with this.” Zhang Hongfu swept a cup off the table with a slap.
At this moment, Chen Jing, who was eating spicy chicken, suddenly turned on the television and turned the volume up to the maximum.
“Dad, the car in the news looks a little familiar.”
The television on the restaurant’s wall was broadcasting the afternoon news. At this moment, the scene happened to be a clear video of a car accident.
“News report. On the morning of May 6th, a citizen filmed a tricycle on the way to Mingyang Market deliberately ramming into a minivan….”
