Mistake

When a person is in a period of steady ascent, it is often not easy to clean up the ills left over from the process of his ascent in a timely manner.

It has been more than 20 years since he opened his first company. Along the way, Kang Siqi has operated in several industries.Many people have cooperated with him, and many people have broken up with him; many people have helped him, and he has also helped these people undertake many things that are not convenient for them to do directly.

All of this takes place in different environments and situations.When doing it, they tried their best to avoid the troubles at the time, broke through the restrictions at the time, and planted the seeds.At that time, they could see the seeds grow, and they could expect it to grow vigorously, but how could they predict the overall situation after these trees became forests one by one?

Now, looking at his own forest, Kang Siqi couldn't help feeling chills down his spine.

Old contracts and agreement materials as high as a thermos cup were piled up on his desk. After browsing through each one, more than two-thirds of Xia Zhicheng was directly and indirectly involved, and nearly half of them were of which he had almost no memory. That may be in his name, the name of his group company, or even just the name of one of his former partners—so, he really has a lot of assets that are not impressive.

And these existences have to be studied carefully, it is difficult to say how many are "clean".Things are qualitative, mostly depends on the situation.When it is time for him to be peaceful, the unclean can be rephrased with a few strokes and classified as clean; when the landslides roll, the clean can also be splashed with sewage.

Now, there is no more evidence of bribery on him, but those projects that Xia Zhicheng either directly approves or participates in the decision-making, it is hard to guarantee that they will not be picked up for review one by one. , It is considered polite to peel and cut the flesh.

To protect.

He rubbed his temples, then called the lawyer and Tu Minglang.The former must be contacted, and the latter, based on his early friendship and compassion, he actually didn't want to get involved. However, since the other party asked Zhuang Ze to bring the message, he couldn't help calling him over. When more than one person is more powerful.

The two parties made an appointment at the same time and at the same venue, just across from the company, in his tea room that seemed to be making ends meet.

Before Tu Minglang went to the appointment, he called Zhuang Ze. His tone was quite relaxed. He even told Zhuang Ze a few words of advice that he was about to give Kang Siqi on the phone. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Ze retorted indifferently: " If possible, I hope you can advise him to give up, and it is best to persuade him to take the initiative to hand over his property."

"What did you say?" Tu Minglang was shocked.

Zhuang Ze was silent for a while, and said in a harmonious voice: "Dad, you have been in the government all your life. Do you think that the current situation is still as good as before? Can Kang Siqi get away with it? He has to expose how much he wants to protect his little property." Let's go, does it matter if You Ziyi is here or not? Or, do you really think that you can survive without anyone noticing?"

Speaking of this, he paused, seemed to take a deep breath, and his voice was a bit vague: "Dad, give up. Your loss is a drop in the bucket compared to Kang Siqi, and you don't have to risk the chips that will not guarantee you at the end of the festival. Yuqing is still young , she is very capable, and there is no problem in providing for you in the old age."

The tone is gentle, and the words are not vague at all.

After Tu Minglang listened, he didn't say anything for a long time. Not only could he not argue, but the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

His son, who has not been in contact with Kang Siqi for more than 20 years, has a good judgment on the friendship between him and Kang Siqi-he does have a share in Kang Siqi's assets. If Kang Shiqi allows his property to be confiscated, it means The business he had entrusted to him for many years was in vain.

People's reaction to interests is too instinctive.Neither he nor Kang Siqi chose to protect without hesitation, regardless of the danger ahead.It may be a cliff, an abyss, or a trap, just waiting for them to repair and dismantle it, and step on it.

"Son..." Tu Minglang spoke again, his voice was a little dry, "But have you ever thought about it, it was Kang Siqi's painstaking efforts for more than [-] years, how could he be willing if he didn't save him?"

Zhuang Ze moved his lips. He had expected Tu Minglang's attitude, and it was useless to remonstrate blindly. After all, he didn't say any more, but said: "I hope you can take to heart what I said."

Tu Minglang hung up the phone without saying a word.

Half an hour later, he went to Kang Shiqi's tea room with a worried heart.Kang Siqi and his lawyer had already arrived, the three of them nodded to each other, took their seats and got straight to the point.The weather outside is very suitable for the occasion. The sky in midsummer is dark at any time, and it looks like it will rain.

Zhuang Ze, who also put down his mobile phone, was no more relaxed than the people talking in the tea room over there.Ever since Kang Siqi went out, he has hardly left the room, nor is he "resting and recuperating" as Kang Lujie thought. On the contrary, he has been in constant contact with the outside world.

Thanks to his great genetics, although he doesn't really like to socialize with people, he has lived for half his life, and his popularity has always been good; it is also a coincidence that the next door to his study and teaching is always the law department, so his friends who study law are also There are the most, and there are a few promising people among them who can count—mainly criminal defense.

He has already contacted all of these people.

It's not that he looked down on Kang Siqi's own lawyer, but he was prepared.What's more, people in the industry know who is reliable. Unfortunately, Kang Siqi is not among them.He is an outsider, he can't do much, just do his best.

Not long after, the rain started to fall, and gusts of rainy wind came in through the open windows, and the air seemed to be torn open, making a buzzing sound.He sighed, got up and started to pack his luggage.

Kang Lujie saw Zhuang Ze for the first time today, when she saw him dragging his suitcase downstairs, she was startled, and stared at him blankly: "Uncle, you, where are you going?"

Zhuang Ze put the suitcase next to the wine cabinet, and while turning into the restaurant, he replied, "I'm going to meet some friends out of town."

"Oh." Kang Lujie heaved a sigh of relief, dropped the remote control, ran over, supported the dining table and talked to Zhuang Ze, "Is it because of my dad?"

Zhuang Ze: "It is."

Kang Lujie: "Does my dad know that you are going out of town?"

The little girl is quite sharp.Zhuang Ze lowered his eyes to serve the porridge, and did not answer immediately, but she immediately came to a conclusion: "So, my dad doesn't know?"

Zhuang Ze nodded: "I don't know yet."

He sat down, and Kang Lujie also sat down, clasped his hands together, and stared at him: "Uncle, are you having a disagreement with my dad?"

"Huh?" Zhuang Ze looked at her questioningly.

She understood again: "I'll just say, my dad looked like this morning...it's weird, obviously unhappy. Hey, uncle," she pushed her clasped hands forward, staring at Zhuang Ze, with a serious expression, "Can you take me with you? Anyway, I have nothing to do, and I want to help my dad. You see, I am so old, and sometimes you also consider my usefulness. "

Zhuang Ze looked at her while eating. After watching for three seconds, she couldn't hold it anymore. She laughed dryly, but she didn't want to back down, so she had to close her eyes and stared at the table: "Uncle, you should guide me It's okay to see the world..."

Zhuang Ze said bluntly: "I promised you a long time ago, your father has something to do, I will not leave - don't worry, I will come back."

That villain's heart was broken ruthlessly, and the little girl was even more embarrassed. She coughed lightly, neither admitting it nor denying it, and continued to grind her lips: "Then let me go with you, I heard, my dad In this way, the freedom of the whole family may be restricted soon, and they can’t go abroad, they can’t go out of the province, maybe they won’t even give up City C, so let me go with you while it’s still possible.”

Hearing this, Zhuang Ze suddenly realized that he really underestimated this girl in the past.

She is innocent and naive, she is just like his father, she is full of mind, sharp and calculating - she sees that Zhuang Ze is going to kill him first, and wants to inform his father, but she doesn't want to be charged with such a crime, lest Zhuang Ze fall into trouble in the future For her account, he just wanted to follow her, and no matter whether she went or not, Zhuang Ze had to report his actions to Kang Siqi first.

"Call your dad." Zhuang Ze had no choice but to fulfill her wish.

The little girl immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed the number. Once the call was made, she reported the situation in a few words, and she insisted on her request to go with her. When she went to Zhuangze to talk, she had nothing to say, only one sentence: "Kang, you will Bar."

The weather over there seemed to be worse, and the sound of the wind and rain was a little frightening. After a while, Kang Siqi replied, "Take her with you, and take good care of her for me."

Kang Lujie was overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Dad, wait for us to come back!"

Kang Siqi replied softly, "Okay."

In the last week of this summer vacation, Kang Lujie was supposed to be going back to school, but now she packed a small suitcase and ran around.She felt that everyone around her, even every group of people, was also busy.Zhuang Ze took her through several cities, sometimes staying in one city for a day or two, sometimes visiting two cities in one day, and meeting many people.

Unlike Kang Siqi, Zhuang Ze basically doesn't shy away from her when he meets people and talks about things.Sometimes after meeting people and talking about things, she expressed doubts, and Zhuang Ze would explain to her.In addition, Zhuang Ze would talk to Kang Siqi every day. At first, the atmosphere of the conversation seemed not so good. Zhuang Ze was mostly silent, but after three or four days, it became more business-like.

During this process, she finally gradually had a relatively complete understanding of her father's affairs, she could see through the fog that her father was unwilling to clear up for her, see his situation clearly, and see Zhuang Ze's efforts clearly.

At this time, all the good or small-minded thoughts that I had when I followed at the beginning disappeared, and what was replaced was the feeling of real growth, a more specific growth than watching Kang Siqi being taken away on his 20th birthday. .

Half a month later, her school start date was too early, and one day, when she was buying a plane ticket, she really found out that her ID card information had been locked.At the same time, new news came from Kang Siqi: Xia Zhicheng's trial was about to start.

The next day, someone came to send them back to City C in person.

"Uncle, if my dad listens to you, will our family really be safe?" On the plane, Kang Lujie asked suddenly.

These days, apart from listening to explanations, she never asks questions about "how to do it".

However, as soon as the words came out, before Zhuang Ze could answer, she asked herself and answered: "Should it be possible? Spending money to buy peace and dispersing wealth to save life, isn't this a matter of course since ancient times? This is the price, right, uncle? "

Zhuang Ze pursed the corners of his lips as a reply.
