Chapter 893: Chapter 836: Clash
With the explosion of information online, no one can say for sure if it’s good or bad, but for Liu Hun today, it’s a perfect opportunity.
No matter how much background and power Zheng Wuming has, forcing an innocent girl and embezzling over a billion—the mere accusation of either crime would be enough to leave him unprotected.
So Liu Hun handed the edited video and billing evidence to Xiao Qi, who then wildly posted it online. Within just one night, the next morning, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and police arrived at Zheng Wuming’s home.
Apart from being under investigation, the police are still looking into the matter; once the evidence is irrefutable, Zheng Wuming might spend the rest of his life in prison.
As for Ding Wen, although he never had much background before, with Zheng Wuming’s downfall, after being a deputy director for decades, he finally made it and directly ascended to the director position.
Some things, it’s not just about having power to rule everything; likewise, the higher-ups also consider the achievements of the people below over the years.
Though Ding Wen lacks power and influence, given his years of service, he ought to rise, even if his promotion hasn’t fully satisfied everyone, many began trying to win him over.
Now, Ding Wen is having his moment of glory; yet he always remembers that all of this is thanks to Liu Hun. Without Liu Hun, he might still be the deputy director forever suppressed by Zheng Wuming.
"Liu Hun, we agreed this time I’ll treat you, you can’t fight me on this." Ding Wen said, full of spirit, to Liu Hun in a four-star hotel.
When he said this, Ding’s mother and Ding Lei were all lightly smiling, and Ding Lei’s beautiful eyes looked at Liu Hun full of curiosity.
It’s said that if a man can intrigue a girl, it starts with curiosity; yet Ding Lei is oblivious about matters of affection and doesn’t realize this.
"Since Uncle wants to treat us, I certainly won’t refuse, after all, who wouldn’t want a free feast?" Liu Hun smiled and responded.
"Haha, then you order today; it’s been a while since I felt this relieved and happy." Ding Wen laughed heartily and handed the menu to Liu Hun.
Liu Hun did not refuse, took the menu, and seeing the expensive prices didn’t have any reaction.
He casually ordered about a dozen dishes and additionally asked for two bottles of red wine.
"Liu Hun, since Uncle is treating us, why are you ordering vegetarian dishes and not meat? Let me order some meat dishes; without wine and meat, it dampens the mood..." Ding Wen’s last word ’scene’ wasn’t finished, and his expression changed slightly.
On the menu, even a plate of shredded potatoes costs two hundred, and a meat dish is easily several hundred or thousand; though he’s now promoted, his monthly salary is only three to four thousand, and Liu Hun’s dishes already cost about two thousand.
After all, unlike Liu Hun, he still needs to cover the family’s expenses on this salary.
"Well, let’s add a plate of fish then; it’s more filling." Ding Wen said to the waiter, a bit heartbroken.
The meal cost over two thousand, and no wonder he felt the pinch, but having already spoken, it’s not ideal to let Liu Hun pay, and without Liu Hun, he wouldn’t be sitting in the director position now.
"Liu Hun, what are your plans next? Is Tianhe Company really being sold to Haitou like that? It’s a money-making machine, selling it seems too regrettable." Ding Wen said, curious about Liu Hun after putting down the menu.
Accustomed to hard life, Ding Wen naturally knows the significance of money, especially with threats from Zheng Wuming and his son this time.
"A big tree catches the wind; this principle, Uncle should understand. In this world, making money is fine, but one mustn’t cause others to envy too much, or trouble arises. Sometimes, having enough money is sufficient; no need to be greedy." Liu Hun explained with a smile.
"Still, Liu Hun, you have a broad view; if it were others, they’d probably hold on till death." Ding Wen remarked with some emotion.
But considering Liu Hun’s identity, he understood that being a member of the Dragon Sect with Liu Hun’s worth means he isn’t short of money, thus not needing to agitate others’ envy.
"Let’s eat." Once the food was served, Ding Wen said to Liu Hun with a smile.
After rounds of drinks, when the meal was almost finished, Ding Wen was about to pay the bill but the waiter informed him that Liu Hun had already paid.
Upon hearing this, Ding Wen felt somewhat embarrassed, having fussed over money earlier, while Liu Hun had already settled the bill.
"You all head back first; Liu Hun and I have some matters to discuss." Back in the private room, Ding Wen directly instructed Ding’s mother and Ding Lei.
"Let Uncle Yun drive them back; it’s safer that way." Liu Hun suggested.
"Alright." Ding Wen thought for a moment; having just taken the new position, before fully settling, there are always some who covet him. Considering the safety of the mother and daughter, Ding Wen naturally didn’t refuse.
After the three left, Ding Wen turned to Liu Hun seriously and said, "Liu Hun, you mentioned wanting to deal with the Hongxing Gang before. I’ve gathered some intel these past days; many guns of the Hongxing Gang are imported from abroad and there’s some connection with the governor, so should we plan this more carefully?"
