South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 290: Losing the First Battle

Song Zhiguo knew clearly that if something went wrong, he would be the best scapegoat and would be thrown out by Tian Hongyi without hesitation, and he would not dare to resist.

This brings us back to the social relations in China. Having power is the most powerful way to speak. On the contrary, having no power means being weak and can only be a pawn.

For someone like Song Zhiguo, who is so old and has a big family, even if he is really thrown out by Tian Hongyi, he dare not say anything and can only regard himself as the one being sacrificed. If he resists, his family will also suffer. Otherwise, at least he can save his family and keep the relationship.

But then again, it would be better if nothing went wrong. After all, it took a lot of effort for him to get to the position he has today, so it would be best if he didn't lose it.

Tian Hongyi's eyes were cold at this time, and he cursed in his heart.

"Why did Yuan Mu come here? Everything was going well, but he is such a big variable!"

Although he thought so, he still smiled and comforted Song Zhiguo. His family had spent a lot of effort to support such a position, and of course they didn't want to abandon it easily. This was not the bottom level, but already a middle to high level, and the position was special, so he was a force that could not be ignored.

"Director Song, don't worry too much. I'll find a way. Nothing will go wrong. Even if the sky collapses, there will be someone taller to hold it up."

After hearing what Tian Hongyi said, Song Zhiguo was still a little panicked, but at least he could breathe a sigh of relief. As a person promoted by the Tian family, he knew some inside stories of Kyoto.

Especially this Yuan Mu, he had made a special effort to get to know him. After all, Yuan Mu was just an ordinary railway criminal policeman back then, and he almost became his subordinate.

But now it seems that Yuan Mu is now someone he cannot reach. Even his old rival Zhang Shaohuai has been promoted, directly to a higher level and is now holding a real job with great power.

In fact, he also wanted to go further. After all, he had been in this position for ten years and he should make some moves. He mentioned this when Tian Hongyi came, but Tian Hongyi never expressed his opinion, which made him very depressed.

"Director Song, relax. You continue monitoring here. I'll go make a phone call!" Tian Hongyi stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, then Mr. Tian, ​​it all depends on you." Song Zhiguo also stood up and said.

. . . . . . . . .

In the interrogation room.

"Li Hongjun, what do you think? Are you going to cooperate or not?" Yuan Mu said to Li Hongjun, holding a cigarette in his hand.

Li Hongjun was hesitant. Yuan Mu had just told him a lot and he had also thought a lot about it. He was clear about the intensity of this crackdown because someone had already told him. He knew that he was finished, but there was still hope for his family.

For a moment, he didn't know who to trust. Should he trust Team Leader Yuan in front of him, or the person behind him?

"Li Hongjun, you don't have to worry about it. I can talk to you nicely now because I am the leader of the supervision team and I have to pay attention to the impact. But if I come out of this room, what will happen to you? Do I need to tell you what the consequences will be?"

"Why bother yourself? Anyway, you have come to this point. I have already promised to help you find your family. Now that I have said this, I will not regret it."

"Tell me everything. You don't need to worry about what happens next. Since you have made a contribution, maybe you don't have to die."

Hearing this, Li Hongjun suddenly raised his head. No need to die? This was the most wonderful voice he had ever heard.

He was already aware of the severity of this crackdown. According to the crimes he had committed, he would not be able to escape punishment. But then again, who would want to die if they could live?

For Yuan Mu, it was nothing to spare his life. Although he had done many evil things, he was already aware of his crimes, which did not warrant the death penalty. Of course, he would have to die if he happened to be caught in this severe crackdown.

But, isn't life or death just a matter of his thoughts? The power delegated to the supervision team by the government this time is too great. It is not an exaggeration to say that a single word can determine life and death.

For someone like Li Hongjun, as long as he returns the stolen money to the victim, his guilt will be reduced a lot. However, he will definitely be in jail for more than ten years, but that is better than death, right? Besides, Li Hongjun is only in his thirties this year. Even if he is in jail for more than ten years, he will be around fifty years old when he is released, so he still has a chance to enjoy life.

You will also have the opportunity to see your wife and children again. Of course, if you are lucky, you can also see your mother, so why not do it?

"Okay! I'll tell you everything!" Li Hongjun said with a firm expression.

Yuan Mu laughed, very happily. Tian Hongyi, ah Tian Hongyi, it’s not that I want to make enemies. It was you who played with me first. Look at the shit you have done. Since you enjoyed it, you have to pay the price.

But at this moment, one of his team members hurriedly walked into the interrogation room, and Yuan Mu frowned.

"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"

"Team leader, there's a call for you!" The team member saw that Yuan Mu was unhappy, but still said it with a stiff upper lip.

"Can't you wait a while? I'll answer it later!" Yuan Mu waved his hands impatiently.

"Team leader, it's your father-in-law calling!" The team member whispered into Yuan Mu's ear.

This time Yuan Mu completely lost his temper. He was stunned for a few seconds, then he let out a long sigh and stood up and walked out of the interrogation room.

When he arrived at the office, he picked up the phone that was still lying aside.

"Hey, Dad, it's me."

"Let's end this here and hand the person over to Wei Huaran and the others." Zhou Zhennan's voice came over the phone.

"Okay, I understand." Yuan Mu nodded and agreed without saying anything.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Mu sighed again. It seemed that Tian Hongyi won this time. Actually, he didn't care, but he just felt aggrieved.

He sat aside, took out a cigarette box, lit a cigarette and smoked silently. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Yuan Mu looked up.

"Please come in!"

The door was opened and Tian Hongyi appeared. Yuan Mu's eyes narrowed instantly and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Team Leader Yuan." Tian Hongyi walked in with a smile.

"Team Leader Tian, ​​please sit down." Yuan Mu smiled and pointed to the chair next to him.

Tian Hongyi sat down on the chair without any hesitation. Yuan Mu handed him a cigarette, and he took it and lit it.

"Team Leader Tian, ​​that's a good move. You win." Yuan Mu crossed his legs and smiled faintly.

"Team Leader Yuan, where do you get that from? What's the point of winning or losing? We all just hang out in Kyoto." Tian Hongyi laughed.

"To be honest, this is not a fair thing for you to do."

"I can't help it. It's because you, Team Leader Yuan, pushed too hard."
