There were only two people in the entire office, not even a secretary or assistant, and it seemed a little deserted. It was a dangerous and quiet night, and bloody changes were really happening outside.
“I only know that my father knew Zhang Qing, but later my father died, and Zhang Qing was still alive. His wife was a female judge from the High People’s Procuratorate. It was a pity that she died.” Rong Shaobai’s narration about Zhang Qing ended here. Now was not the time to talk about this. In such a night, it was time to say something appropriate to the situation, so he chose to talk about the current anti-crime campaign. “In this Rong’s opinion, your crackdown on gangsters this time was actually not very clever.”
“What do you think, President Rong?” Jiang Xiaochuan took a sip of wine and sat there peacefully, not in a hurry to go back.
Rong Shaobai didn’t want to be modest now. In fact, he already made his decision a few days ago. The Rong family was prospering, but he, Rong Shaobai, was the throne and head of the original black Rong family dynasty and was also the helmsman of the current Rong family. When others mentioned Rong family, they would inevitably mention Rong Shaobai. In the eyes of insiders, Rong family could be cleansed, but Rong Shaobai could not be cleansed. He would always be black. His path to this point was already glorious.
“I think, Mayor Jiang, you are giving others a thumbs up. In their eyes, you are pushing yourself into a dead end. You initiated the entire anti-gang operation. As long as there is some unrest in Chengzhou, in the end, you should be fully responsible.”
“So, what happened tonight was planned by them?”
A fight should have broken out outside that would shock Chengzhou. When the time came, the citizens would report it to the authorities. They directly labeled Jiang Xiaochuan as “too leftist” and said that his political line was inconsistent with the central government. At that time, even if Jiang Xiaochuan was an immortal, he would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being dismissed from his post and investigated.
Li Dakai had already persuaded Jiang Xiaochuan at that time, but the level of persuasion was too shallow and failed to stop Jiang Xiaochuan from carrying out this anti-gang operation. At that time, Jiang Xiaochuan should have understood Li Dakai did not stop him on purpose but Li Dakai wanted to use Jiang Xiaochuan’s own hands to send him into the abyss.
Behind Li Dakai was Qu Zhendong.
Since they wanted to kill him so much, then today’s party was a good purpose.
Jiang Xiaochuan knew all of this very well.
He looked at Rong Shaobai with calm eyes.
Rong Shaobai was shocked by his extraordinary calmness. Instead, he was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to understand something. “Mayor Jiang, you want to force them to show their trump card. They want to use this incident to trap you here, and you will never be able to get out. The fight scene between the two of you is quite exciting.”
Yes, it was a great show.
How could Jiang Xiaochuan did not know this?
It was a pity, he wished he was a bystander instead of a participant.
Qu Zhendong and the others were hypocritical, and Jiang Xiaochuan had never thought of having a sincere relationship with them. But it was all frame-up and frame-up, and there was never any true friendship. In fact, the intentions of these people were quite vicious.
He was already in an extremely dangerous situation without even realizing it.
Because it was wrong from the beginning.
At this time, he chose to believe in Rong Shaobai, just because of Rong Shaobai’s eyes at this time, “President Rong saw it very clearly and seemed to have made a decision on the Rong family issue.”
The curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows hung quietly, and there seemed to be a faint light on the dark office building opposite. Yes, there was a pale green light reflected on the glass, which seemed a bit strange.
Rong Shaobai moved his fingers on his phone and sent out a text message. Sending text messages while talking to others seemed to be a very impolite behavior, but now in this special time, it didn’t matter so much anymore.
“Soon, I will no longer be the head of the Rong family.”
He decided to let go and let the entire Rong family truly clean up, including his stain, and become a truly clean sheet of paper.
“I have devoted countless efforts to clearing the Rong family. Even from my grandfather’s generation, we have been preparing for the cleansing. Some people in the family will never be involved in the underworld. The underworld, it is also getting weaker and weaker. Since my father’s time, the black and white in the family have been slowly separated. When it comes to me, my task is to bury the decayed underworld and let the white side of Rong’s family emerge. From then on, Rong’s family will be a clean group—especially after I disappear.”
“So… what will President Rong do in the future?”
Rong Shaobai’s courage had always been beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Jiang Xiaochuan could only think of one phrase: retire after success.
The founding fathers of ancient times generally didn’t end well.
“Go abroad, go to Europe or something, occasionally buy a few stocks for fun, and be the think tank behind the Rong family. It seems to be satisfying enough,” Rong Shaobai said in an understatement.
Jiang Xiaochuan recalled the strategizing look of Rong Shaobai when he was at the teahouse. He was wearing an ancient-style cardigan and shaking a teapot in his hand, looking like a hermit. He secretly thought the man like ancient scene.
He vaguely remembered after he was dismissed in his previous life, Rong family was implicated and Rong Shaobai would also be imprisoned. It was a good thing if he decided to leave this position now. Maybe there would be no tragedy from the previous life.
Jiang Xiaochuan looked at his phone again and said, “Wei Lai is coming downstairs soon. He has something very important to bring to me. I have to go down and pick it up. I can’t trust your people.”
Rong Shaobai didn’t know Jiang Xiaochuan had something important, and he also knew Wei Lai. After confirming that Wei Lai’s car was indeed parked below, he put down his glass and stood up to open the door for Jiang Xiaochuan.
Jiang Xiaochuan also stood up and was about to walk towards the door. Suddenly there was a soft sound under his feet. He looked down and saw that it was a small dart. When he looked at the wall, he saw there was indeed a target board hanging on it. Rong Shaobai actually played with these things.
“Speaking of which, Yusheng is coming up. I think you might as well ask him about something,” Rong Shaobai said as he opened the door.
Jiang Xiaochuan leaned over and reached out to pick up the dart.
Rong Shaobai turned around at this moment, and because Jiang Xiaochuan leaned over, a red dot suddenly jumped from his vest to his chest.
There seemed to be a beam of infrared light coming from the tall building opposite the floor-to-ceiling window.
The aiming cross coordinates—the red-light spot in the center.
Rong Shaobai glanced at Jiang Xiaochuan who just stood up and suddenly felt that fate was just like this.
Blood gushed out from his heart.
The curtains that were originally motionless suddenly flew up, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows collapsed. The broken glass hit the ground with a violent roar. Jiang Xiaochuan’s mind was buzzing and he couldn’t distinguish what the sound was.
This dangerous and quiet night in Rong Shaobai’s life turned out to end like this.
He fell to the ground, blood dripping to Jiang Xiaochuan’s feet, looking at the floor-to-ceiling windows: “If there is a next life, I never want to clean my name of it.”
Qiao Yusheng heard the floor-to-ceiling windows break and fall to the ground in the corridor. With a roar, as soon as he opened the door, the red-light spot glanced over again. He didn’t have time to take care of the others and directly dragged the stunned Jiang Xiaochuan over. “Quick, leave!”
Jiang Xiaochuan still held the dart in his hand, and he looked at Rong Shaobai laid quietly inside the door.
Did he hear it wrong? Rong Shaobai said – ‘if there is a next life, I never want to clear my name.’
