I asked you to pursue a career, but you turned out to be a scumbag

Chapter 288 Trading

Mayor's secretary.

He seems to be only at the deputy section level, and in terms of rank, he is at the same level as Zhang Hao.

But in fact, his power is not low. He needs to be responsible for the mayor's work schedule, prepare meeting materials, and be responsible for coordinating with various departments.

Therefore, each department will give him some face. After all, his every move outside represents the mayor's intention.

"Is the mayor behind Yu Ling's actions?" Zhang Hao asked.

Yu Shuai replied: "Probably not. Yu Ling did all this himself. The mayor knows nothing about it."

Zhang Hao could not deny this. It was possible that the mayor had not given any instructions, but he did not believe that he had no knowledge of it at all.

Then he said, "What evidence do you have to prove that Yu Ling is the man behind this? I can't just come and arrest someone just because of a word you said."

Arresting Yu Ling without any evidence is no different from slapping the mayor in the face.

Yu Shuai said, "Team Leader Zhang, I have evidence of Yu Ling's crime, but I want to make a deal with you."

There was a hint of amusement on Zhang Hao's lips. He had known this would happen, otherwise how could Yu Shuai come to him when he was trying to catch him.

"What deal do you want to make?"

Yu Shuai didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at the camera that was recording.

Zhang Hao stood up and walked to the camera, turned it off, and then said: "You can speak now."

Yu Shuai said, "Team Leader Zhang, arresting Yu Ling would be a political achievement for you, so my deal is simple. I can hand over all the evidence of Yu Ling's crimes over the years to you, and you can let me go and not implicate me."

Zhang Hao said sarcastically: "Why do you think I will agree to you?"

Yu Shuai said confidently, "It's simple. If Team Leader Zhang doesn't agree, I won't hand over the evidence. Team Leader Zhang probably won't learn much from Bi Jiayan. At most, they'll just say I have a casino and that women are selling prostitution. As the legal representative of Paradise on Earth, these two charges are serious enough, but at most I'll be sentenced to just over a decade."

"But even if you capture me, it's useless because the mastermind behind this is Yu Ling. After I'm captured, Yu Ling can definitely build a second or even third paradise on earth, right?"

"The credit for arresting me is not the same as the credit for arresting Yu Ling, the umbrella behind the scenes. So, Team Leader Zhang, you won't lose out by doing this business with me."

Zhang Hao said: "You are right, it is indeed not a loss, but before I do that, I have a question for you."

"Team Leader Zhang, please speak." Yu Shuai said,

"Did you beat Liu Ruyan to death because she refused to work as a prostitute?" Zhang Hao stared at Yu Shuai with sharp eyes.

Yu Shuai replied, "Team Leader Zhang, you're really wronging me. Although I, Yu Shuai, don't consider myself a good person, I wouldn't force women of good character into prostitution. The girls who come out to sell themselves in Paradise on Earth all do so voluntarily."

"Then why did she die?"

Zhang Hao remembered that Bi Jiayan said that Liu Ruyan died in paradise on earth, and her body was taken away and dumped by Chen Juji.

Yu Shuai said: "She was beaten to death because she refused to sell herself."

Zhang Hao glared at him: "How dare you play tricks on me?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuai immediately cried out in injustice: "Team Leader Zhang, I didn't play tricks on you. She died because she refused to sell, but it wasn't us who beat her to death, it was Yu Ling who did it."

"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what's going on." Zhang Hao said.

Yu Shuai said directly, "Actually, the story is very simple. Yu Ling happened to be visiting Human Paradise that day and fell in love with Liu Ruyan, who was working as a waitress. He then made advances towards her."

"Liu Ruyan resisted, calling Yu Ling a hooligan and refusing to submit."

"Yu Ling was enraged and attacked Liu Ruyan, but accidentally killed her."

"Do you have any evidence?" Zhang Hao said.

Yu Shuai said, "Of course. After Yu Ling beat the man to death, he ordered me to delete the surveillance footage in the private room. But before I did, I backed up the video just in case, to prove that he was the one who killed Liu Ruyan. As long as Team Leader Zhang agrees to let me go, I will give you the video along with the other evidence."

Zhang Hao said: "Okay, I agree."

Yu Shuai was no fool, and worried that Zhang Hao might go back on his word, so he said, "Team Leader Zhang, it's not that I don't trust you, but I'm going to hand over the evidence to you, and what should I do if you go back on your word?"

"Then how can you believe it?" Zhang Hao said.

Yu Shuai had actually thought of a countermeasure before coming here, so he said: "Team Leader Zhang, it's very simple. You have to leave some leverage in my hands."

"What's the handle?" Zhang Hao asked.

Yu Shuai said, "It's very simple. I'll deposit one million into Team Leader Zhang's bank account. If Team Leader Zhang changes his mind, this money will be used as evidence of your corruption and bribery. How do you do that?"

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "No problem."

Zhang Hao then handed the bank account to Yu Shuai.

Yu Shuai immediately put one million yuan on Zhang Hao's card, then took out a piece of paper, wrote that Zhang Hao had accepted a bribe of one million yuan, and asked Zhang Hao to sign and seal it.

After Zhang Hao finished all this, he asked, "How is it, is it OK now?"

Yu Shuai immediately collected the paper with Zhang Hao's signature and seal, and then he felt relieved. With the proof of payment and Zhang Hao's signature and seal, as long as Zhang Hao went back on his word, these would be evidence of Zhang Hao's corruption. He didn't believe that Zhang Hao would give up his bright future.

"Team Leader Zhang, it's a pleasure working with you. Stored here is evidence of Yu Ling's crimes."

Yu Shuai handed the USB flash drive that he had prepared long ago to Zhang Hao.

"Wait a moment, I'll go and verify whether this thing is real or fake." Zhang Hao said.

"Go ahead!" Yu Shuai made a gesture of invitation.

Zhang Hao immediately stood up and left the interrogation room.

Seeing Zhang Hao come out, Wei Zhengxian and Hong Ziyi immediately came over and asked, "How is it? What did he confess?"

Zhang Hao said, "He gave me a USB drive. Let's go and take a look at what's inside."

I then found a computer and inserted the USB drive into it, only to find a video and a file inside.

Zhang Hao first opened the video.

Then a picture of a private room appeared on the screen, and then a middle-aged man appeared on the video, punching and kicking a girl.

Although the video is a bit blurry, you can vaguely see that the girl who was beaten is Liu Ruyan.

After knocking her to the ground, the middle-aged man did not hold his hands, but continued to kick Liu Ruyan's head several times. Finally, Liu Ruyan was silent.

A few minutes later, Chen Juji and others appeared on the video and carried Liu Ruyan out.

This ends the video.
