Chapter 600: Side Story 013 Project Completion (First update)
Early the next morning.
Lei Qian and Mu Cidian went to the village of the Lei family.
Just as they stepped into the village.
That so-called Big Brother Wu Wensheng was waiting there. Seeing Lei Qian’s car coming in, he hurried forward to meet them.
Mu Cidian and Lei Qian got off the car.
Wu Wensheng, brimming with excitement, took hold of Mu Cidian’s hand, “Xiao Mu, I really owe you, now that Ergou finally admitted to borrowing my money, I thought I had really lost all 40,000. I really have to thank you today.”
Mu Cidian laughed a little, “Mr. Wu, you are too kind, it was actually just a minor effort.”
“Only a well-educated person like Xiao Mu could come up with such an idea, I definitely couldn’t.”
“I couldn’t either.” Lei Qian hurriedly chimed in, “Mu Cidian, how did you come up with this method to force Wang Ergou to admit that he had borrowed money from Big Brother Wu?”
Lei Qian was genuinely impressed.
Because Wu Wensheng had neither a witness nor a note of debt, and Wang Ergou stubbornly insisted that he didn’t borrow any money. Taking it to court would serve no purpose, so Mu Cidian set a trap. He asked Wu Wensheng to go for a drink with Wang Ergou one night without discussing the money owed. They just chatted, and then took a walk by the river in the village. He suggested that Wu Wensheng should disappear the next day, and then on the fourth day, which was yesterday, he instructed his wife to report him missing to the police, saying that Wu Wensheng was unaccounted for. Then the police would naturally investigate, and in order to clear himself, Wang Ergou would, under normal circumstances, tell the truth, and admit that he wouldn’t have killed Wu Wensheng over a debt of 40,000 yuan.
So, Wang Ergou personally admitted to the police that there was a borrowing fact, and Wu Wensheng could be dealt with merely a police warning because of the circumstances. This way, the situation about Wang Ergou refusing to admit the debt could be handled appropriately.
Mu Cidian smiled faintly, “It just came to me.”
“I thought you were too clever when we were in school, but now I really think you’re too clever.” Lei Qian sincerely said.
Mu Cidian just smiled.
A few of them entered Wu Wensheng’s house together.
Lunch was already prepared in the house. It was very rich. In addition to inviting Mu Cidian, the Lei couple had also come.
The two families and Mu Cidian were sitting together at a square table.
“Xiao Mu, I toast you. Without you, I would have lost these 40,000 yuan! I can’t thank you enough.” Wu Wensheng said enthusiastically.
“I can’t drink. My stomach isn’t very good.”
“What’s wrong with your stomach? You are too thin.” Wu Wensheng showed concern.
“I underwent gastric perforation surgery a few years ago. The recovery was not very good after the operation, so I vomit easily if I eat too much and tend to eat less.” Mu Cidian didn’t hide anything.
“You should still try to eat more. Look how thin you are.”
“Hmm.” Mu Cidian nodded.
He also wanted to improve his physical condition.
This would probably take time, a long time.
Perhaps things would be better once he left Yanshang Country.
“No alcohol, then let me toast you with tea.”
“You really don’t have to be so polite.” Mu Cidian politely declined.
“No, no, no, it’s necessary...” Wu Wensheng was still incredibly enthusiastic.
He was holding back a grievance. After thinking for a while, he said, “Alright, I will try to persuade the villagers.”
Mu Cidian secretly gave a sigh of relief.
He picked up the difference, “Uncle Lei, I want to thank you with tea instead of wine.”
“Mu Cidian, if you play any trick, even if it takes all my old bones, I will fight with you to the end!”
“Uncle Lei, don’t worry.”
“Alright.” Lei Qiang didn’t waste words, and drank with Mu Cidian.
Mu Cidian left with Lei Qian after dinner in the afternoon.
Lei Qian drove as Mu Cidian had a night shift to work.
The way was rather silent.
Suppressing her feelings, Lei Qian finally broke the silence, “Mu Cidian, do you still like Xin Zaozao?”
Mu Cidian currently sat in the passenger seat, looking at the highway outside the window.
Mu Cidian turned back.
Lei Qian looked somewhat nervous.
Mu Cidian said, “Yes.”
It felt like a piercing pain in Lei Qian’s heart, her eyes red instantly.
Suppressing her emotions, she said, “Oh. But she and Song Lifei...”
“I know.” Mu Cidian seemed very calm.
Lei Qian wanted to say something but eventually held her tongue.
They did not speak anymore after that.
After dropping Mu Cidian at his home in Jin City, Lei Qian drove away.
Mu Cidian watched Lei Qian’s retreating figure.
He just didn’t want to hold anyone back.
He picked up his phone and called Xin Zaozao.
The call connected, “Mu Cidian.”
“It’s pretty much settled, you should send someone over to follow up as soon as possible.”
“I see.” Xin Zaozao said coldly on the other end, adding, “Once the contract is signed, I will transfer the money to you. You can give me your account information now.”
“Alright.”
With that, they both hung up.
Mu Cidian sent his bank details to Xin Zaozao.
He was very clear that with Xin Zaozao’s capability, the development of the eco-park was basically successful.
He thought to himself.
After this, they should have no further contacts!
