Same crime

Chapter 131

When Gong Yuechao got off the plane, Qin Zhengzheng was already waiting for him at the airport. They sent Feng Pei home first, until there were only the two of them in the car. Before they had time to communicate with Qin Zhengzheng, Gong Yuechao gave Shi Mu City made a phone call.

It was already late at this time, and the outdoor temperature was more than twenty degrees below zero. Qin Zhengzheng was afraid that he would be cold, so he turned on the air conditioner in the car to a high temperature, and a familiar, dry warmth lingered everywhere.

When Gong Yuechao came back from the wet and cold south, he enjoyed this kind of warmth for the first time, almost forcing out the moisture that seeped into his bones.In the past few days of his business trip, the problems he had squatted in the prison came to him one after another, making him very uncomfortable.I came back today, blowing on the dry warm air, I feel very comfortable.

Shi Mucheng answered the phone quickly, and originally wanted to make fun of him habitually, but then heard him say that he had something to discuss in that extremely serious tone, Shi Mucheng's voice also became serious.

"Brother Cheng, where are you now, if it's convenient, I'll go find you."

Shi Mucheng hesitated for a long time on the phone before saying, "I'm in the city hospital."

Gong Yuezhao was stunned, letting the warm wind from the car wind around his fingertips, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" There was a bad premonition in his heart, and even his voice trembled.

Before Mu Cheng could answer, Gu Ming's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Why don't you rest after the injection? The operation will be tomorrow..." Gong Yuechao didn't even have time to hear the truth, and the receiver of the phone was covered , Listening carefully, you can still hear Shi Mucheng's reproach in the microphone: "Keep your voice down, the little teacher has come back and said he has something to talk to me." Then he opened the microphone and said to Gong Yuechao: "Little teacher, Come here, we will talk about it when you arrive, I will ask Gu Ming to send you the ward."

Gong Yuechao was only out for a few days, why did Shi Mucheng have to undergo surgery?She didn't disclose any information to him. Are you going to keep it a secret from him?After hanging up the phone, he told Qin Zhengzheng about it, and found that his voice was trembling even more.

Qin Zhengzheng comforted Gong Yuechao: "Maybe it's just a minor illness, don't worry."

"En." Although Gong Yue said that, he was very disturbed in his heart.

How can a disease that requires surgery be a minor disease?He still has this common sense. Thinking of Shi Mucheng's frequent illness throughout this year, Gong Yuechao felt even more worried.

Gong Yuechao and Qin Zhengzheng went over and brought a bouquet of flowers. When they entered the ward, Shi Mucheng was meditating cross-legged on the hospital bed. , just looks a little sloppy.But he didn't look like he was seriously ill at all, Gong Yuechao couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Qin Zhengzheng put the flowers on the bedside table, and after saying hello to Shi Mucheng, he found an excuse to go out, leaving only the three of them in the room to facilitate their conversation.

Gong Yuechao sat by the side of the hospital bed and asked Shi Mucheng what was wrong, but he waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's a little problem, it's a little problem, it's not a big deal, don't worry."

But Gu Ming seemed not so optimistic, and answered Gong Yuechao's doubts worriedly, "Listen to his nonsense, the doctor said that Brother Cheng had something growing on his lung, and it doesn't look good from the film, it's best to have an operation to remove it. We can only be sure after the pathology. We also went to Beijing to find an expert to see, and the results were the same, so we said that we should just do it because we are afraid of development.”

"Why... so suddenly?" Gong Yuechao heard Gu Ming's words in such a cryptic manner, she didn't know well, she was in a daze, and she still asked this sentence.

"Hey, people who eat whole grains don't get sick." Shi Mucheng was very open-minded, and he briefly mentioned his illness in a few words. If Gu Ming didn't say it in person, Gong Yuechao would even I thought Shi Mucheng didn't know about it at all.

"Hey, it may be that there are too many things in the company, and he always smokes. In addition, the leak of Chaoyang's bidding document caused trouble a while ago. I always feel that there is something wrong with the management, and I am a little angry." Gu Ming Say it like this: "Brother Cheng himself doesn't take it seriously. He is very happy to hear that he still signed a bill. The inspection indicators this morning have all returned to normal. He also said that if you can't come back today, you can wait to do it." I'll tell you after the surgery, but who knows, you called first." Seeing that Gong Yuezhao's expression was not good, Gu Ming asked again: "What's the matter? Brother Cheng said you have something to discuss with us."

In fact, when Gong Yuezhao heard about Shi Mucheng's illness, he was ready to digest the whole thing alone, and he even felt that his immaturity made Shi Mucheng worry too much, so he couldn't help but feel guilty.So he shook his head and changed his words: "It's nothing serious, I can handle it myself."

At this time, Shi Mucheng's gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Gong Yuechao's eyes, "Little teacher, you won't lie, just tell me straight up if you have something to say, what does it look like."

Every word is accurate, and it hits Gong Yuechao's pain point.That's right, Gong Yuechao couldn't tell a single lie to his brother whom he trusted and who helped him infinitely, but...how should he speak?

Gu Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Cheng, you haven't seen anything like a big storm, so just say what you have to say."

Gong Yuechao nodded, organized his words, and said, "I suspect that Feng Pei may have done the leaking of our bid documents."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other two were as stunned as when he first realized this point. After all, this is really surprising news.

"Why do you say that? Do you have evidence?" Asked cautiously like Gu Ming.

"No." Gong Yuechao shook his head, "It's his words and deeds that betrayed his actions."

He told Qin Zhengzheng some clues and contexts that he had followed in the car, and even some of his own inferences, from beginning to end.

"From the day when the tender document was leaked, the first thing Brother Cheng told me was to do a self-examination. As a result, I searched vigorously for a whole day, but there was no result. Then something small happened, and I thought it was a newcomer. Wang Jianran did it, and I can't say that he did it without evidence, so I started to guard against him and decided to suppress this matter first. In this way, one can Let the company calm down first, let the other party think that I have relaxed my vigilance and pursuit of this matter; second, I can concentrate on making bids without being disturbed by the outside world. But the result is still not optimistic, and we lost another bid In the end, only one was awarded, but it was the worst of the three. At that time, I felt that the people who did this must be the core personnel within the company. In this way, the scope was narrowed. After I got on the plane, So I told Feng Pei that I must find out about this matter when I go back, and told him the doubts in my heart. Feng Pei's performance at that time was very... very interesting. It happened that what Zheng Zheng said to me before woke me up. , I realized that this matter may not have been done by Wang Jianran, but that I had been guarding against the wrong person. After I expressed my doubts, he seemed to be relieved. In other words, Feng Pei put Wang Jianran Use it as a shield to cover up your deed."

When Shi Mucheng listened, he frowned and pondered, but Gu Ming gave Gong Yuechao two suggestions: "I really didn't expect it, hey. But, if you don't want this to make a big deal, or you are going to leave it to Feng Pei If there is a way out, then let’s investigate in private, it’s not impossible to find out. Or simply, call the police and kill chickens to scare monkeys, so as to prevent future troubles.”

Gong Yuechao said: "I've thought of this, I'm just wondering, if Feng Pei really did it, why did he do it? What is he trying to do? Could it be that the company didn't treat him well enough? Fortunately, we have always trusted him." He originally His voice was raised very high, but when he said the word "trust", he didn't lower his pitch.

The more Gong Yuechao thought about it, the more disappointed he felt. Feng Pei had always talked to him about everything, including the company's development, his own plans, and even the occasional minor annoyances and confusions... He never even felt that Feng Pei was short. Those who belong to me are just so equal, and treat him as a very close friend, but why can he still do such a thing.

Shi Mucheng, who had been silent all the time, said at this moment: "What else can it be for? It's just for money. If we lose a bid, the winning party will give him a bonus." He changed his mind and caught Gong Yuechao's hand "How do you think Qin Zhengzheng woke you up?"

Gong Yuezhao thought for a while, but didn't answer. Since Wang Jianran had a crush on him, he should leave some room for him, after all, it's not a certainty.Just say: "This matter is not convenient to say..."

"Then I won't force you, so..." Shi Mucheng hesitated for a moment, and put on a rare serious face to Gong Yuechao, "Yuechao."

He seldom even called Gong Yuechao so formally, and usually called him "little teacher" with a playful smile, and he didn't look like a leader at all.Just like this "Yue Chao" with a slightly serious tone, even the air was stained with a trace of seriousness.

"Well, Brother Cheng." Gong Yuechao also straightened his body.

"No matter what, you should investigate this matter carefully. You don't have to worry about us, just leave it to you. I'm most at ease when you handle things."

"Brother Cheng, don't worry." You don't need to show such a face for such a trivial matter.

In the next second, Shi Mucheng's words confirmed Gong Yuechao's conjecture, "You see, although I am optimistic now, when I am on the operating table, who can tell clearly..."

"Brother Cheng..." Gong Yuechao interrupted him, not wanting him to continue. He and Shi Mucheng have known each other for many years, even through life and death, and have never seen the slightest bit of helplessness from this person, but at this moment, he seems to be She flinched in the face of the disease, not at all the strength she showed when she first entered the ward, "You will be fine."

Shi Mucheng waved his hand, "Yue Chao, listen to me. During this period of time, the company is also entrusted to you, and Gu Ming has to serve me here, inseparable. We are not in the company, and there are many things, even including the end of the year. You have to do some communication well, this burden is very heavy, but we all believe that you can bear it."

Through the car window, Qin Zhengzheng saw the dejected Gong Yuechao leaving the gate of the inpatient department, and he felt uneasy.Then the car door was opened, and after Gong Yuechao sat up, he let out a breath of foul air, and then sank himself into the chair, as if he had no bones.He looked exhausted, even hopeless.

"Teacher." Qin Zhengzheng couldn't hold back and asked, "Brother Cheng, is he in good condition? It looks like he's fine."

Gong Yuechao sighed, "What he said was pretty good at first, but in the end he seemed to have confessed his funeral, which made me very... uncomfortable." He looked at the people coming and going outside the window, and even came in through the side door at this time A roaring ambulance went straight to the emergency room.

Look, human life is so fragile, it will slip away without your noticing, in any way.

At this time, Qin Zhengzheng grabbed Gong Yuechao's hand, and the dry and warm palm just neutralized the coldness in his hand.

"Teacher, don't be sad. Brother Cheng is a Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death. His life is tough."

Gong Yuezhao looked at Qin Zhengzheng, those bright eyes were full of firmness, as if to give him confidence, even the strength to hold his hand became heavier.

Gong Yuechao withdrew his hand, but took the initiative to hug Qin Zhengzheng. The young man was held in his arms, and his breathing became short of breath, but it made him feel very stable in his ear.

"Zhengzheng, thank you." Gong Yuechao's voice was muffled.

It seems that he hasn't shown such powerless and fragile emotions in front of Qin Zhengzheng for a long time. All along, he has set up his own image extraordinarily tall, because he feels that as the older party, he always has to shoulder the responsibility. All kinds of responsibilities, this is his little persistence.But at this moment, he found that he couldn't hide anymore, because he felt that the development of the matter was beyond his control.

Internal troubles are better than external troubles, what should he do?

His cell phone lit up at this time, and a message from Gu Ming jumped into his eyes, "Don't feel pressured, I also took care of it when Brother Cheng made a mess of the company back then. Don't be afraid, we Believe in you unconditionally, and always stand behind you."

Such a simple sentence of comfort from Gu Ming not only gave Gong Yuechao the motivation to move forward, but even became a kind of comfort and a bright light for Gong Yuechao when he encountered difficulties on the road ahead.
