On this day, after I contacted District Mayor Song, I began to work. I referred to the three conditions I gave Xiao Chenyu, and then carefully recalled the remaining contents that we could still cooperate with.

In fact, if it weren’t for the “special” relationship between Xiao Chenyu, he might have been able to achieve a strong alliance. For example, the commercial square he proposed to build and the location of the Binhai New Area would have a great commercial prospect overall.

However, it is impossible for him and I to have such in-depth cooperation, especially the form of investment. If I had not been secretly "threatened", I would not have any commercial intersection with Xiao Chenyu.

...

In the afternoon, while I was busy in the office of Inspur Villa, Ning Bingrou suddenly called me. I picked up my cell phone and answered the phone with a smile.

"Hello, good afternoon! Why did you suddenly call me this afternoon when you have time?"

I thought that Ning Bingrou would relax and chat with me in such a relaxed and pleasant tone, but she whispered seriously: "Dongli, I am now at the border of Yun Province. In the morning, I learned that their TN Group was moving again. It is said that a batch of goods will be out of customs soon."

When I heard this, I was shocked and hurriedly followed her and asked in a low voice: "Where did you get the news? Are you watching the scene now?"

"I'm not on the scene yet, I just saw two trucks passing by the town I lived in before, so I saw it. This time I made a new discovery."

“What discovery?”

"There are only six of them in total. Although they dress up as migrant workers, the two trucks have common signs, namely TN Group and Zhongtian Group! Dong Li, I really didn't expect that under Xiao Chenyu's greed, even Zhongtian Group has begun to embark on this road of no return... After I go back, I will go to Ning Xiongzheng to ask clearly. Is he really not aware of these things at all?"

I thought about it for a while, and always felt that I had a little grudge against Ning Xiongzheng, or that it was not so reliable, so I said, "Don't tell your father about these news first, I'm worried... If you say this, he will go back to Xiao Chenyu to ask about the situation, and then you will be completely exposed. What's more, since they have followed me, you are also very likely to be followed."

Speaking of this, I continued to add: "Also, Bingrou, you really don't do such dangerous things anymore. Tonight, I made an appointment with District Mayor Song. You can give me the information you have in your hands later. I will probably tell District Mayor Song about it in the evening, including in the morning, Xiao Chenyu and I have already negotiated the cooperation content."

Ning Bingrou was silent for a while, and I even thought she was in danger. Just when I was about to continue talking, she finally spoke.

"Well, Dongli, I listened to you this time. Recently, I have noticed that people have been sent here. In places like this, there must be something to take action. For the rest, I will take the clues I have in my hands and find a suitable opportunity to hand over them. I learned that tomorrow morning, people from the town will come to hold a meeting, so I thought about submitting the information anonymously."

"It's good that you can think so. Go back quickly. Don't stay where you live. Go back to Xiaoshan Village and stay with Aunt Xue. At least there are acquaintances there and they will take care of each other."

"Then I'll go back now."

After a brief chat, we ended the call. Sitting in the chair, I breathed heavily, then walked to the window and lit a cigarette.

Sometimes, I can't help but think: We were living a plain life, but from when we started, we were exposed to these things, like a pair of destined pushers controlling all this behind our backs, forcing us to experience these terrifying things!

If possible, I really don’t want to be involved in these things as I and the important people around me. The later I go, the more I want to ask for peace and a stable life, rather than this dramatic life like film and television!!

...

At around 7:30 pm, the security guard called me and said that District Mayor Song and others had already driven in. This time, there was no "funny" happening like before, and they couldn't even recognize the other party.

The dinner was also ready. As I walked out of the office, I quickly reminded the kitchen and the nanny to prepare, and then walked to the door of Inspur Villa.

After District Mayor Song got off the car, we exchanged greetings at the door, and then went into the room together. In addition to District Mayor Song and Secretary Li, there was also a strange man, who was over thirty years old, and there was a sharp majesty between his eyebrows. Judging from his figure and posture, it is not difficult to analyze that this is definitely not an ordinary person!

I thought to myself: Could it be... before District Mayor Song came over, he had already learned some important news? But this is normal. The speed at which they grasped information was ahead of us, so it was naturally no problem.

At the dinner table, we didn’t drink wine, just drank soup and used tea instead of wine. At the opening meeting, District Mayor Song introduced me to another man who came with him tonight. It turned out that in the man I thought was an “unusual”, he turned out to be the leader of the X Bureau of Binhai New District. I also learned that he was called "Team Leader Yin" by District Mayor Song.

After some polite words and personnel introductions, our topic began to enter the topic of tonight.

District Mayor Song cleared his throat first, then picked up the cigarette on the table and lit a piece, looked at me, and said softly: "Mr. Zhou, I had guessed that you would definitely have an appointment with me today, at most, that is, I would have made an appointment with me tomorrow."

"Why did District Mayor Song say this?"

District Mayor Song smiled, with a sense of confidence in his smile, and then explained: "Because... you met Xiao Chenyu of Zhongtian Group this morning at the Chengnan Flower Cafe, and you also reached some kind of cooperation together, right?"

I was suddenly frightened, but the smile on my face remained, "It seems that District Mayor Song has mastered all this information. It is true. I invite District Mayor Song to come to Inspur Villa tonight with the purpose of telling this matter."

"Hasn't you been reluctant to cooperate with Xiao Chenyu of Zhongtian Group before? And I have told you about this matter. Binhai New Area has a business district protection policy. As the president of the Binhai New Area's business association, why... did you agree to the cooperation he proposed?"

These seemingly plain words, but in fact every sentence is full of weight! If you think about it carefully, it even sounds like "accountability".

What I can understand is that District Mayor Song wants me to take the initiative to say the information I have in my hands. Even if he has already learned it in his heart, I don’t know what information they have?

"District Mayor Song, I will first express my apology in this matter. On this point, I did violate the agreement we made before. But, Daniel Song, I said I had difficulties and had to do so. Do you... believe it?"

"Oh? Team leader Yin from the Binhai New Area Bureau X is also present today. Let me tell you, Mr. Zhou, what are your difficulties?"
