In the photo sent by Su Chengji, there was half a military cap on the coffee table. He could recognize that it was from the army, different from a detective’s cap.
At this point, Yin Shixiu could easily guess that Chen Lan had failed to contact Bai Sidong.
And why they hadn’t been able to reach Bai Sidong all day...
It must have sothing to do with Director Wu in front of him.
..............First published on Romance Novel Bar, please support the original reading.................
Wu Rong walked up to Yin Shixiu, pulled out a chair opposite him, and sat down.
He leaned back slightly in his seat.
He exhaled, and took sothing out of his loose trouser pocket, placing it on the table.
Yin Shixiu glanced at the dals on the table.
"A shot hits the bird that sticks its head out. Detective Bai is a good police officer; it’s just a pity he can’t adapt."
Wu Rong murmured, his sword-like eyebrows holding a sharp edge, his gaze lightly falling on Yin Shixiu’s features.
"Of course, my uncle is just a detective, nothing compared to Director Wu. Soone who can climb to the position of director must know how to adapt."
Upon hearing Wu Rong’s words, Yin Shixiu understood clearly.
Bai Sidong was most likely in Wu Rong’s hands.
Indeed, he had underestimated Shi Shengde’s prison break.
He also underestimated the matter of sending Su Chengji back with Shi Shengde.
Shi Shengde wasn’t a fool. Without Su Chengji as a bargaining chip, what else could he use to threaten him?
And with Wu Rong behind him giving advice...
Although Shi Shengde didn’t understand him, Wu Rong certainly did.
Yin Shixiu’s own life was certainly important, but if he had to use his own life to force himself to do sothing...
That would indeed underestimate Yin Shixiu.
As important as his own life was, could it compare to the future stability of his wife and children?
Wu Rong had weighed the scales perfectly clearly in his heart.
Letting Su Chengji go, yet having secretly taken Bai Sidong into his grip early on.
With these two choices, both made Yin Shixiu and the Yin Family very uncomfortable.
Bai Sidong himself was a police officer. After Su Chengji was kidnapped, Yin Shixiu would inevitably go to Bai Sidong for help, but Bai Sidong was already missing.
Once Su Chengji’s safety was secured, Yin Shixiu thought he had nothing to fear, only to find Bai Sidong played as a card later.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Bai Sidong and Yin Shixiu was even more distant than that between Su Chengji and Yin Shixiu.
But Wu Rong knew that whether Yin Shixiu would risk his life to follow their plan didn’t depend on the closeness of the relationship, but on the fact there was a relationship at all!
Wu Rong knew the mocking irony hidden in Yin Shixiu’s words.
Back then, Wu Rong’s climb from local police to the director of the public security bureau was decisively aided by Yin Shixiu.
How many connections were managed and dealt with by Yin Shixiu so he could overpower other competitors and eventually reach the director position?
"Shixiu, I know what you’re thinking... In your heart, I’m a hypocrite, a traitor. I’m ungrateful, despicable, shaless. What you said, I admit it all."
Director Wu took a deep breath, leaning back on the wooden chair, hands in his pockets, continuing,
"But I’ve been the director of the public security bureau for seven years now. These seven years, ask yourself, whenever you needed my help, wasn’t it just a matter of saying the word, with people and power at my disposal!"
Yin Shixiu looked at the man in front of him.
It seed as if he was explaining, or rather seeking his understanding...
What Wu Rong said, and his actions at this mont, both startled Yin Shixiu, but at the sa ti made him feel deeply nauseated!
Even if the business world is ruthless, even with societal interests driving behind it...
This was the first ti Yin Shixiu had truly been betrayed by soone he trusted.
"But Shixiu, when the Shengde Group’s smuggling and drug trafficking case ca out, no matter how much you had helped before or how many achievents I had in the public security bureau, all would beco illusions."
"..."
Yin Shixiu’s eyes narrowed.
So that’s how it was...
The Shengde Group’s smuggling and drug trafficking case was actually connected to the public security bureau director.
It turned out Wu Rong had such deep-seated interests tied with Shi Shengde...
"If it were just about being dismissed that would be one thing, but Shixiu, this case is too deep and too large, I don’t want to lose my life at a young age."
"If you don’t want to lose your life, you should know what can and cannot be done."
"Wu Rong, when you wanted to beco the director, what you told wasn’t about interests."
Yin Shixiu looked at Wu Rong, a hint of sadness and helplessness flashing in his expression.
He still rembered the Wu Rong from many years ago, speaking passionately about his political ambitions in front of him.
