Chapter 258 It turns out that the descendants of traitors were standing by the reservoir.
What department is that? I've never even heard of it.
But judging from their demeanor, these two people don't seem like ordinary people.
Especially the younger one, who looked refined and gentle, but standing there, he gave people a feeling of unfathomable depth.
"Well... please wait a moment, I'll go and inform them," the secretary said quickly.
"Mm." Zhao Rui nodded.
The secretary quickly turned around and walked towards the president's office inside.
Zhao Rui and Shen Yu stood at the front desk waiting.
The surrounding employees looked at them curiously and whispered among themselves, wondering what these two people did and how they dared to barge into President Chu's office.
A few minutes later, the secretary returned.
"Gentlemen, Mr. Chu would like to invite you in," the secretary said, her expression somewhat strange.
"Lead the way," Zhao Rui said calmly.
The secretary led them toward the president's office.
As he approached the office door, the secretary knocked: "Mr. Chu, the person has been brought."
"Come in." A middle-aged man's voice came from inside, sounding somewhat impatient.
The secretary opened the door and gestured for them to enter.
Shen Yu and Zhao Rui went inside.
The office was large and extremely luxuriously decorated, with genuine leather sofas, mahogany desks, famous paintings on the walls, and a wine cabinet in the corner filled with various fine wines.
A fat man in his fifties was sitting in the boss's chair behind the desk, wearing an expensive suit, a gold watch and gold chain, with a protruding belly and a wealthy look on his face.
It was Chu Tianxiang.
He held a cigar between his fingers, slowly smoking it, and glanced at Shen Yu and Zhao Rui, his tone very impatient.
"You're from Bureau 749? What do you want?"
He looked incredibly arrogant.
Zhao Rui frowned, and was about to speak when Shen Yu spoke first.
"Chu Tianxiang, you were the one who did the Qinglong Reservoir incident, weren't you?"
His tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable certainty.
Chu Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about? What Qinglong Reservoir? I don't understand."
He said he didn't understand, but his eyes flickered, clearly showing he was feeling guilty.
"Don't you understand?" Shen Yu sneered, took a few steps forward, and walked to his desk.
"Three months ago, you sent your subordinate Huang Banxian to throw over a hundred evil-gathering talismans and a large pile of dead bones into the Qinglong Reservoir."
They deliberately create a false sense of vengeance, like a water ghost seeking revenge, to cause surrounding land prices to plummet, so you can acquire land at a low price to develop villas.
Am I right?
Chu Tianxiang's expression changed instantly, and he almost dropped the cigar in his hand.
How did he know so much?
But he was an old hand at this, and he quickly calmed down, shoved his cigar into the ashtray, and his face darkened.
"Kid, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Chu Tianxiang said coldly,
"I don't understand a word of what you're saying. What 'gathering evil spirits talisman'? What 'dead human bones'? I think you've been reading too many novels."
"I'm warning you, get out of here right now, or I'll call security!"
He acted like he had nothing to lose, since there was no evidence and the other party couldn't do anything to him.
"Chu Tianxiang, stop pretending." Zhao Rui stepped forward and said coldly.
"We have found out that Huang Banxian is one of your men. He frequently entered and exited Qinglong Reservoir in the past few months and threw things into the water in the middle of the night."
Also, we've found out that you bought a large quantity of human bones from the black market.
"And Deputy Director Wang of the district water resources bureau, he's already confessed, saying he took bribes from you to suppress the news. The evidence is overwhelming, do you still want to deny it?"
Chu Tianxiang's face turned even paler.
Deputy Director Wang has been arrested?
How could it be so fast?
But he still gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.
"Nonsense!" Chu Tianxiang slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
"What Deputy Director Wang? I don't know him! Stop making baseless accusations! Let me tell you, I, Chu Tianxiang, am a legitimate businessman who pays taxes legally. Don't try to slander me!"
"A respectable businessman?" Shen Yu sneered. "To acquire land, he killed twelve people. Is this what you call a respectable businessman?"
"Twelve lives?" Chu Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, then forced himself to remain calm.
"What twelve lives? What does that have to do with me? Those people secretly went swimming and drowned, what does that have to do with me?"
"What's it to you?" Zhao Rui laughed angrily.
"If you hadn't thrown those weird things into the water, would those people have died? Twelve lives! Chu Tianxiang, how can you sleep at night?"
"What a joke!" Chu Tianxiang scoffed.
"They wanted to go into the water themselves, I didn't push them. Besides, it's just a few people who died, what's the big deal?"
"At worst, I'll pay them back. A few hundred thousand from each family is enough for them to live on for a lifetime."
"You just want money, right? Tell me, how much do you want? Name your price."
He acted like he had a lot of money and thought that as long as you paid him, there was nothing he couldn't solve.
Zhao Rui was so angry that he trembled all over.
In his words, twelve lives were as insignificant as twelve dead ants.
This kind of person is worse than an animal!
"Chu Tianxiang, don't be so arrogant!"
Zhao Rui gritted his teeth and said, "You think you can do whatever you want just because you have money? Let me tell you, you're in big trouble this time!"
"Down?" Chu Tianxiang scoffed, his face full of disdain.
"You think you can take me down? Let me tell you, I, Chu Tianxiang, know a lot of people in Beijing. You're still too green to mess with me."
He's been in Beijing for decades, with connections spanning both the legitimate and underworld circles. How dare two random guys who just appeared out of nowhere try to mess with him?
dream!
Shen Yu stood to the side, coldly watching Chu Tianxiang's performance without saying a word.
He was observing.
Observe the aura emanating from Chu Tianxiang.
Sure enough, Chu Tianxiang had a faint aura about him, the same as the resentment from the bottom of the reservoir.
That is the connection of blood.
It was the bloodline of Chu Ergou, and the deep-seated hatred between him and the souls he had killed at the bottom of the water.
No wonder the resentment erupted so quickly and so fiercely.
It turns out that the descendants of the traitors were standing by the reservoir.
How could those departed souls not be agitated?
"Chu Tianxiang." Shen Yu suddenly spoke, his tone icy, "Your grandfather's name is Chu Ergou, right?"
Chu Tianxiang's face turned pale instantly.
He suddenly looked up at Shen Yu, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"How...how did you know?"
His grandfather's story happened decades ago, and not many people know about it, and he rarely mentions it to anyone.
How did this young man know?
"I not only know that your grandfather's name is Chu Ergou, but I also know that he was a traitor back then, a translator for the Japanese, leading them to commit murder, and doing all sorts of evil deeds."
