Chapter 1567: Chapter 637: Wipe Out the Opposition, Win the People’s Hearts
Director Huang is currently under administrative detention for assaulting someone.
There are only two ways to see him.
Either you go with his family, or you ask a lawyer to step in.
Director Huang was sent in by Zhou Can alone, and his family probably already hates him to death, so to see Director Huang, it has to be through a lawyer.
The next day, Zhou Can met the haggard-looking Director Huang at the detention center. His whole person was disheveled, looking as if he had aged twenty years.
In the visiting room, Director Huang looked at Zhou Can with some surprise, perhaps not expecting Zhou Can to come to see him.
"Do you know why I came to find you?"
"To rescue me?"
Director Huang held a sliver of hope.
"You know Lou Wei, right?"
When Zhou Can mentioned this woman, Director Huang’s body trembled, his face gradually turning gray and despairing. In the end, he tightly shut his lips, saying nothing, with no longer any lingering desire to live in his eyes.
Seeing that just hearing this woman’s name caused such a change in Director Huang, Zhou Can couldn’t help but be more curious.
Could it be that he really forced Lou Wei to be his lover for several years?
If he didn’t know about Lou Wei’s relationship with Xia Bu, he might have thought so.
Minister Xia is the big boss of the pharmaceutical division, and Director Huang is just a middle management.
Being a man, he understands men too well.
Minister Xia could never watch Director Huang lay a finger on his woman.
Last night, Zhou Can thought for most of the night, and there was only one possibility, Minister Xia and Lou Wei wanted to cover up the truth.
"Do you believe that this woman you harmed wants to kill you?"
Zhou Can said calmly.
Director Huang just slightly nodded, not speaking.
"She has handed over a lot of evidence of your crimes to me, enough to keep you behind bars for life. And at your age, you’ll probably spend the rest of your life in prison. Moreover, all your property will be confiscated. If that’s not enough, your family might have to work to pay off your debts."
Zhou Can continued.
Director Huang’s body shook uncontrollably, and he said nothing.
"If you really harmed this woman for several years, even shooting you wouldn’t be too much. If you’re just a scapegoat, then that’s too unjust."
Zhou Can pressed on.
Director Huang’s emotions suddenly became agitated, lifting his head abruptly, his eyes glaring redly at Zhou Can.
"Do you believe me when I say I want to help you?"
Zhou Can fearlessly met his fierce gaze with sincerity in his eyes.
"Why help me?"
Director Huang’s voice was hoarse, dry.
"Because I don’t want to see you become a scapegoat, and I don’t want to see your family and children live in pain forever. You are guilty, but they are innocent."
Zhou Can said seriously.
"That’s something to trick a three-year-old, won’t work on me."
Director Huang didn’t believe these words at all.
"The truth is, with my status, I don’t need to lie, nor do I need to deceive you to get anything. Besides not wanting to see your family and children implicated, I also have my own vested interest. I want to bring the true criminals in the pharmaceutical division to justice, and I need your help for that. I believe you didn’t do anything to Lou Wei, you have the intent but not the courage."
Zhou Can’s words hurt Director Huang’s self-esteem.
But it was the truth.
"How can you be sure I didn’t harm Lou Wei?"
"Intuition. As long as you’re willing to help me, I can’t guarantee anything else, but I can assure your family won’t be implicated. Your sentence will also be reduced as much as possible. You should know my strength, these promises can be easily fulfilled."
Zhou Can said bluntly.
Director Huang lowered his head, remaining silent, and Zhou Can didn’t rush him.
After a long time, he lifted his head again, directly looking at Zhou Can, "How do you want me to help you?"
"Asking this question shows you already believe me. Tell me all the real situations you know and hand over the evidence you’ve collected to me," Zhou Can said.
"I haven’t collected much evidence, but I know some situations. As long as you can bail me out, I can tell you."
"If that’s the case, then we have nothing to talk about. Actually, I’m not only looking for you for a breakthrough, for instance, I could find a woman with the surname Chen and achieve the same purpose. But I have more faith in your ability. Throughout history, corrupt officials were often capable ministers; working with you is more convenient and reassuring."
Zhou Can was currently employing the empty fortress strategy.
The woman with the surname Chen he referred to was Chen Xiaoying mentioned in an anonymous letter.
Based on keen instinct, this woman was definitely one of the key figures to breaking the situation.
By intentionally not saying the full name, it creates a profound and mysterious air, making Director Huang think he had already grasped many clues.
In fact, Zhou Can chose to start from Director Huang as a breakthrough point because he accidentally discovered the relationship between Lou Wei and Xia Bu, aiming for a decisive strike to directly target the enemy’s main force. It could be done simply and efficiently.
Director Huang’s expression clearly underwent a significant change.
Zhou Can continued his psychological attack.
"The fact that I was able to come to you means I have already grasped almost all the necessary information. Let’s be open and honest. Since you haven’t touched Lou Wei yet carry this heavy blame, acting as her apparent adulterer, I’m sure given your cunning, you must be prepared. They hold a lot of evidence against you, but you must have secretly collected a lot of their evidence in return. This is the real reason they want to kill you. Only the dead can keep secrets."
Zhou Can paused, then continued.
"Don’t think the arrangements you made during your life were foolproof. I’m telling you, holding those pieces of evidence in your family’s hands will only get them killed. You know very well how terrifying the power behind Lou Wei and those people is. Now, only I can help you, can save your family, there won’t be a second person. And with every minute delayed, the more likely your family will face the threat of death."
