Chapter 226 Completely Disregarding the Overall Situation
The comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection did not respond to his question and immediately changed the subject.
"When your son was arrested, did you obstruct or instruct others to obstruct the police investigation?"
"Absolutely not."
"Okay, please hand over your phone. We need to check your recent call logs."
A brief silence fell over the ward. Zhou Xiangzhang eventually cooperated by handing over her phone and providing a reasonable explanation for each call record.
"You've been talking to this Li Taoying a lot lately, she is...?"
"It's our county party committee office director. She's currently on a business trip in Qinghe City, handling a matter related to a post."
"Oh...that makes sense...it's that post about camphor trees?"
"That's right."
The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has also taken note of this post, and Li Zhonghou has reported it to the provincial authorities.
Several leaders stood up.
"Don't leave Yuanshan County recently, we might come looking for you at any time."
After saying that, the people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection left.
Zhou Xiangzhang is still the county party secretary and is in charge of the work in Yuanshan County. He cannot be touched before a formal case is filed.
Zhou Xiangzhang breathed a sigh of relief, called the doctor and nurses, and asked to be discharged from the hospital.
He returned home in the middle of the night.
My wife has disappeared.
Zhou Xiangzhang didn't care about anything else and called Jiang Xiong. When she asked, she found out that the guy had actually gone to Macau.
"Boss, is it urgent? Can we talk on the phone?"
"I can't say it over the phone, who knows if I'm being tapped?"
"Then I'll come back as soon as I finish things here. I'll head back immediately."
In fact, Jiang Xiong was deliberately hiding and wasn't in Macau at all. He was with Chen Wei, and the two of them were hiding in a vacation villa by the sea in Huicheng, where they were having a great time, each embracing the other.
As soon as Zhou Dongliang was arrested, Chen Wei and Jiang Xiong immediately went into hiding outside.
They were afraid that Zhou Dongliang would say something inappropriate and drag them both into it, which would be troublesome.
So they went out into the world so that if anything happened in Meihua City, they could escape by sea.
These people are all very cunning.
"Unless it's something urgent, you'd better come back as soon as possible. Ah Dong is in trouble, and I need your help with something."
Zhou Xiangzhang had already decided to kill him.
At this critical juncture, without some deaths, things are unlikely to be able to be contained.
Jiang Xiong, the big boss of the underworld in Yuanshan County, had been immersed in the underworld for many years. From the old boss's tone and words, he could tell that Zhou Xiangzhang meant something. This guy was going to ask him to do dirty work.
"Okay, boss, I'll be right back after I'm done." Jiang Xiong chose to continue playing dumb.
"What I'm saying is, hurry up." Zhou Xiangzhang's tone became extremely stern.
Jiang Xiong, who was lying by the pool in Huicheng, glanced at Chen Wei.
Chen Wei was somewhat helpless, but he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Chen Weineng could reject Zhou Xiangzhang, but Jiang Xiong could not.
Jiang Xiong's status was far inferior to Chen Wei's.
If Jiang Xiong also refuses, Zhou Xiangzhang will feel that everyone in his original circle has abandoned him, and he will feel desperate.
A cornered dog will jump over a wall, and when it's desperate, it might do something irrational.
This is not good for the overall situation.
"Understood, boss. I'll pack my things and come back this morning."
"I'll be waiting for you at Mandala Manor."
"well……"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiong looked at Chen Wei uneasily.
Chen Wei, with a cigar dangling from his lips, ran his hand over the bikini-clad woman beside him: "Just agree to whatever he says."
At this critical juncture, we mustn't let anyone die.
He was already a discarded pawn.
Old Zhou should understand this principle. At this point, he should just accept it. But to still be thinking about saving his son shows that he's not thinking straight.
He's not clear-headed, but we need to be.
Once Zhou Dongliang is sentenced and the higher-ups deal with Lao Zhou as well, he will stop causing trouble completely.
Just agree and do whatever you're told, but don't actually do it; just pretend.
Do you understand?
Jiang Xiong chuckled sinisterly: "I understand, it's just stalling."
"Yes, drag it out."
"it is good."
"If Lao Zhou has the ability to withstand this pressure, he might not lose too badly. If he continues to cause trouble, not only will Chen Dawei have to deal with him, but we will all have to deal with him. He completely disregards the overall situation."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiong felt uneasy, but maintained a respectful expression and repeatedly agreed.
Zhou Xiangzhang, who was once so powerful and influential, has now fallen into this situation, and Chen Wei and his group have discarded him like trash.
What about this so-called businessman who came from a thuggish background?
If Jiang Xiong were to run into trouble and fall into hardship one day, wouldn't Chen Wei and the others become even more outrageous?
The answer is obvious.
But Jiang Xiong had no choice.
He works in the underworld.
The underworld is a path that leads to ruin.
……
On the other end.
Zhou Xiangzhang's wife arrived at the entrance of Xie Liting's villa.
After making some inquiries, I learned that Xie Liting had already sold the villa.
Zhou Xiangzhang's wife lied, claiming that she was a distant relative of Xie Liting and that she had also lost her phone, asking the new homeowner where Xie Liting had gone.
The new landlord told her that Xie Liting went to a hotel after completing the formalities and seemed to have been staying there for the past few days.
Zhou Xiangzhang's wife arrived at the hotel and waited outside for a very long time.
Before I knew it, it was dawn.
Xie Liting got up early, dressed very beautifully, and left the hotel with her suitcase, ready to hail a taxi on the street to go to the station.
She has sold all her property and is going to take the money to another city to start her life anew.
She has an acquaintance in the area who was someone who pursued her back in college.
She could have gotten a good job back then, and that simp classmate would even help her rent an apartment, so she hardly had to spend any money.
At this moment, Xie Liting seemed very relaxed and in a good mood, completely unaware that an old woman was approaching her.
Suddenly, Zhou Xiangzhang's wife pulled a small folding knife from her pocket, opened it, walked quickly to Xie Liting, gritted her teeth, her face contorted with rage, and brandished the knife twice at an angle.
The two cuts form a large X shape.
One cut runs from the right eye to the left corner of the mouth, and the other cut runs from the left eye to the right corner of the mouth.
Blood started gushing out.
It looked terrifying.
Xie Liting was stunned for about half a second, her mind went blank, then she felt a burning sensation on her face, followed by a stinging pain, and then the warmth of blood. She could feel the blood flowing on her face.
His lips twitched rapidly.
Xie Liting raised both hands to protect her face, not daring to touch her face, and stepped back.
His mouth was open, and he tried to shout but couldn't. After several attempts, he finally managed to scream hysterically.
"Ah—ah—"
The cry was sharp and piercing.
This attracted several passersby to stop and watch.
Zhou Dongliang's mother, Zhou Xiangzhang's wife, a woman who always seemed honest and unassuming, did something that surprised everyone.
She released her grip, and the bloodstained knife fell to the ground.
