MTLNOVEL Chapter 1093
"What? District Chief Zhao was kidnapped? You're..." Zhang Tianbao was so shocked that his hand twitched, causing the ash from his cigarette to fall to the ground, but it didn't really matter anymore.
He looked nervously at Liu Zhizhong, "Your wife was kidnapped, and you're still here having a late-night snack with me? What's going on? Have you called the police?"
Liu Zhizhong carried the late-night snack, walking out while saying, "It's fine, the rescue was successful, not a scratch."
"Oh, haha... that's more like it. You scared me. What happened?"
Zhang Tianbao relaxed and followed Liu Zhizhong to the dining room.
After a while, the late-night meal was served, along with the sober-up soup, and the two sat down and started talking while eating.
Liu Zhizhong naturally recounted the details of Zhao Yan's kidnapping in full.
Zhang Tianbao listened with shock, couldn't believe it, several times nearly choked.
Finally, the conversation ended, and they were almost done eating.
Zhang Tianbao sweated a lot from eating, making him more sober from the alcohol, and wiped his sweat and mouth, saying, "Hey, Zhizhong, just let this matter go like this?"
Liu Zhizhong smiled indifferently and handed Zhang Tianbao a cigarette, "Well, right? The injured ringleader is a character, Zhao Yan wasn't hurt, they're pretty particular as a group, chasing them down could be quite difficult..."
Zhang Tianbao lit a cigarette and waved his hand, "No, no, no, I'm not talking about the ringleader, indeed, he's hard to chase. If possible, your brother Liu Dongyuan would surely investigate. I'm talking about Xie Peng and Zhang Hongyang, you'll just let them go?"
Liu Zhizhong laughed more openly, "Otherwise? Brother Bao, I'm fortunate enough that Zhao Yan wasn't harmed. Zhao Peng alone couldn't do such a thing, even with minor grudges against me. The biggest mastermind behind the scenes is definitely Zhang Hongyang. If it weren't for him, I, Liu Zhizhong, would never mix in officialdom."
Zhang Tianbao chuckled, nodded, "Hmm, I also think it's him, sigh..."
Ultimately, he sighed, feeling somewhat regretful.
"Didn't expect Zhang Hongyang to be so disappointing, so despicable. This time, luckily you had strong support, otherwise, who knows what he might have done to you!"
"Haha... as long as I can resolve it, it's fine. So, whatever he might try to do to me, I'm indifferent. As for not pursuing responsibility, first, my wife is fine; second, I promised old Secretary Zhang not to make things difficult for Zhang Hongyang. Of course, if it gets messy, Xie Peng insists he acted alone, claiming it has nothing to do with Zhang Hongyang, it's hard to say! So, let's leave it, everyone keeping peace, isn't bad. This time, it's also a lesson for Zhang Hongyang, hope he curbs his inner imbalance!"
Zhang Tianbao admired Liu Zhizhong, "Little brother, your vision and breadth are indeed exceptional, I didn't misjudge you, and neither did Minister Luo. Some things, everyone knows how it is, but without concrete evidence, you just have to let it go. This matter also serves as a warning to Zhang Hongyang, hope he will be careful going forward. Your handling of this matter was indeed very appropriate, worth commending."
"Brother Bao, it's necessary. Actually, I don't have such great hatred towards Zhang Hongyang..."
"..."
The two chatted for quite a while, then Zhang Tianbao started yawning, and naturally, Liu Zhizhong got up to say goodbye, understanding it's time to leave!
But after Liu Zhizhong left, Zhang Tianbao immediately turned around and called Luo Tianlin...
