Rebirth of the Rising Sun

I thought to myself, since Shengshi Ke already knows so much, then what use is there for me?

"Didn't I tell you? I still don't know where Zhang Zhong is hiding, so what you have to do now is to do the things in the past two years. First, find a way to tell Hua Pengtao, tell him not to be nervous or afraid, I have been following this case. Second, once you have any news about Zhang Zhong, find a way to tell me as soon as possible. I'll give you this phone. There is only one number saved here. You can find me by calling this number. When the time comes, you only need to tell me about Zhang Zhong's situation and your mission will be accomplished." As he spoke, Sheng Shike handed a small mobile phone to Tang Xiuwei.

After receiving the phone, Tang Xiuwei made a decision. For the sake of his career, he had decided to work for Shengshike. As for whether it would make Feng Sizhe angry, or even his current backer Chen Cui angry, it didn't matter. Those who want to do great things should not be dragged down by emotions.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

The next morning, Tang Xiuwei came to the office again and began to interrogate Hua Pengtao.

According to the internal regulations of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, when interrogating officials suspected of having problems, there must be at least two or three people on the scene. Standing next to Tang Xiuwei now is his team member Huang Chicheng.

"Xiao Huang, there is no more boiled water in my cup. Please go and pour me a cup." Using the excuse that there was no boiled water in the cup, Tang Xiuwei wanted to send Huang Chicheng away.

Huang Chicheng nodded, said "OK, team leader", then took the cup and walked out.

Seeing Huang Chicheng push the door and leave, Tang Xiuwei immediately said to Hua Pengtao, "Deputy Director Hua, Deputy Secretary Sheng asked me to tell you something. He has been paying attention to your situation and is thinking of a solution. You should keep this in mind."

Hua Pengtao was originally keeping his head down. He was locked up all night last night, and he thought about many things. He thought that with Feng Sizhe's work style, since he dared to bring him here in front of everyone, he must have caught him with some handle. Thinking about the several times he had with Feng Sizhe, he didn't gain any advantage at all, and he felt that his future was bleak. Feng Sizhe's ability was not to be underestimated. If he really wanted to kill him, it shouldn't be difficult. Besides, he knew whether he had made any mistakes in these years, and no one knew this better than himself.

After thinking a lot, Hua Pengtao finally decided that if it really didn't work, he would confess. As a staff member of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he knew very well the difference between confessing a problem voluntarily and being found out.

But I never expected that even though I had made the worst-case scenario plan, the presiding judge, Tang Xiuwei, would come up with such a set of words. Could it be that when I am at the end of my rope, there is always a way out?

"Team Leader Tang, can I ask you why you want to arrest me?" Hua Pengtao, who suddenly saw hope, was very excited and could not help but make more requests.

"This... Zhang Zhong from Qi City. Well, that's all I can say. You'll be on your own." After thinking for a while, Tang Xiuwei briefly mentioned the situation. He also wanted to give Hua Pengtao more time to prepare, in case Zhang Zhong really showed up and caught Hua Pengtao off guard.

"Oh, thank you, thank you." After knowing the reason, Hua Pengtao felt much more confident. He no longer looked so depressed when sitting there, but looked much more energetic.

A minute later, Huang Chicheng came in with a cup of water, "Team Leader Tang, this is your water."

"Okay." Tang Xiuwei pretended to take the cup and took a sip. In fact, he was not thirsty at all. After drinking the water, he said to Hua Pengtao in a serious voice, "Comrade Hua Pengtao, have you made up your mind?"

"What am I thinking? I am innocent. Why do you arrest me? I tell you, I reserve the right to appeal to a higher authority." At this moment, Hua Pengtao was much more excited after receiving information from many parties. He started to act with Tang Xiuwei.

Huang Chicheng was stunned by this scene. He remembered that Hua Pengtao was not like this just now. Although he didn't say anything, his expression was clearly close to the edge of collapse. But how come he was like a different person and came back to life? What was going on?

"Of course you have the right to appeal, but now you have to explain things clearly, do you understand?" Tang Xiuwei still asked Hua Pengtao in a fake manner, as if he had said nothing and done nothing just now.

"Okay, Team Leader Tang, I don't want to make things difficult for you. If I am guilty, please show us the evidence. If not, please let me go immediately. Of course, if you can't let me go, you can call your Director Feng. I want to see why you arrested me." Hua Pengtao became more and more confident at this moment. He thought that even Tang Xiuwei was dealt with by Sheng Shike, so what was there to be afraid of?

Tang Xiuwei couldn't help but sigh when he heard Hua Pengtao's cooperation. "Okay, since you are so uncooperative, I will report the situation to our director. But I don't know whether the director will see you next. Xiao Huang, let him sign what you just wrote down. I want to show it to the director."

"Okay." Huang Chicheng, who was in charge of recording, nodded, then took the record materials and asked Hua Pengtao to sign.

After a while, Tang Xiuwei arrived at Feng Sizhe's office. "Director, Hua Pengtao's tone is very harsh. Here is the record of the interrogation just now. Please take a look."

Reaching out to take the record, Feng Sizhe simply glanced at it and nodded. He had to say that he had overestimated Hua Pengtao. He thought that someone who had been working in the Commission for Discipline Inspection for a long time would not have a mental breakdown after being locked up for just one night, so he did not think too much about it. "Okay, Team Leader Tang, go to the door of the building and pick up Zhang Zhong from Harbin Province. Bring him to Hua Pengtao to have a look. I believe his attitude will not be so firm."

"Okay." Tang Xiuwei nodded and left the office. Then Feng Sizhe picked up the phone, "Chen Ping, please send Zhang Zhong over."

In order to keep it secret, Feng Sizhe had always let the field team leader Chen Ping be responsible for Zhang Zhong's safety. Now that the time was almost right, he arranged for Chen Ping to bring Zhang Zhong over. He was confident enough that as soon as the two met, Hua Pengtao would know why they wanted to arrest him.

Tang Xiuwei went to the restroom not far away immediately after leaving the office. While he was in the restroom, he used the phone given to him by Shengshike to send a text message. The content was that Zhang Zhong would come in a while and he would go to the gate to meet him.

Sheng Shike, who was waiting for the news, was in a car not far from the CCDI building. When he saw the message ring, he picked it up and read it carefully. After reading the content clearly, he smiled. Then he looked at the road leading to the CCDI.

About twenty minutes later, Chen Ping drove over with Zhang Zhong. There were only two of them in the car, which was also a measure taken by Chen Ping for the sake of confidentiality.

Seeing Chen Ping's car approaching, Sheng Shike said to the driver, "Pull over."

The driver was the person Shengshi Ke trusted the most, so he naturally knew the purpose of being here today. He immediately started the car and drove towards the Volkswagen that was coming not far away.

Suddenly, a car came diagonally, which scared Chen Ping. He instinctively drove the car towards the cliff on the side of the road. Fortunately, the speed was not very fast, and he finally stopped after riding on the cliff.

When he parked the car, Chen Ping noticed that the Audi on the opposite side also almost hit the roadside. While he was still wondering what was going on, the car on the opposite side had reversed and came to his side, then the window was lowered, revealing Sheng Shike's face.

"It's Comrade Chen Ping. Are you okay?" Sheng Shike looked concerned.

Seeing that it was Sheng Shike, Chen Ping could not stay in the car any longer due to courtesy. He quickly got out of the car, walked over and said, "Deputy Secretary Sheng, I'm fine. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Oh, it's all my driver's fault. I told him not to answer the phone while driving, but he took a call while taking a nap just now, and this is what happened. Come on, Xiao Wu, why don't you go and see if Comrade Chen Ping is okay and whether he needs to go to the hospital. You see, this is all your fault." Sheng Shike said with a guilty look on his face.

The driver, Xiao Wu, got out of the car and walked up to Chen Ping. "Team Leader Chen, are you okay? Otherwise, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Chen Ping shook his head quickly.

"Oh, no, my boss told me to take a good look at you, otherwise I won't be able to complete my mission." The driver Xiao Wu continued to speak, and at the same time began to touch Chen Ping with his hands. It seemed that he wanted to feel whether this man was really okay.

While Chen Ping and Xiao Si were flirting, Sheng Shike quickly threw a piece of paper in his hand toward the other car window. The paper passed through the window and landed on Zhang Zhong who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Zhang Zhong just heard Chen Ping calling Sheng Shike, and knew that the person in front of him was the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Now seeing the other party suddenly throw a note to him, he was very curious, so he opened it and saw what was written on the note. "Don't talk nonsense, and you will be fine. Hua Pengtao will also fully cooperate with you. After reading it, he stuffed the note into his mouth and ate it."

Looking at these two short lines of words, Zhang Zhong was stunned at first, then he looked towards Sheng Shike, and seeing that he was staring at him, he immediately opened his mouth and swallowed the note.
