Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Just Waiting for You

The door creaked open, and Zhu Jun walked out.

Zhou Tingshan was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhu Jun. "Isn’t this the person...?"

"Haha, that’s right, this is the arrogant guy from the video. Uncle Zhou, this is my big gift to you. Are you satisfied?" Zhao Qiqiang said as he poured a drink for Zhou Tingshan.

Zhou Tingshan was overjoyed and kept nodding. "Satisfied, of course I’m satisfied, absolutely satisfied. Qiqiang, your gift came just in time. It’s like it’s a direct hit to my heart. I was just worrying about a breakthrough. With this, doesn’t it become easy?"

He laughed with great contentment.

Zhao Qiqiang laughed heartily. "Uncle Zhou, as long as you like it. This kid wasn’t easy to catch. I had to put in a lot of effort to get him, and he was tight-lipped, not willing to say anything. In the end, I had to spend ten million to make him talk!"

Zhou Tingshan was slightly taken aback. How could a smart person like him not understand the implication?

This was Zhao Qiqiang asking for credit.

The implication was, look at how much trouble I went through and how much money I spent for you. You can’t forget his efforts.

Zhou Tingshan smiled and said, "You’ve worked hard, nephew. Rest assured, Uncle Zhou will keep this favor in mind and won’t forget your efforts!"

Zhao Qiqiang smiled with satisfaction. This was exactly the acknowledgment he wanted.

"Uncle Zhou, ask away. I guarantee this kid will tell you everything!"

Zhu Jun was very cooperative, looking quite aggrieved.

Zhou Tingshan cleared his throat, looked at Zhu Jun, and asked, "What’s your name, where are you from, and what do you do for a living?"

He asked three questions in a row.

Zhu Jun answered truthfully, "Zhu Jun, from Furong County. I usually hang around aimlessly in the county, doing some odd jobs for people."

"Hmph, so young, with your hands and feet intact. What’s wrong with doing an honest job? But you choose to do this. You young people are so impetuous and restless. Do you know what this behavior is called? It’s called breaking the law. Do you know that? Trespassing into private homes, beating villagers. This is black society behavior. Back in the eighties, such behavior would have gotten you shot!" Zhou Tingshan said, slapping the table.

Zhu Jun looked very scared and quickly begged for mercy, "Zhou Tingshan, I know I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again. Please give me a chance. I didn’t go to school, I don’t have much education, and I don’t understand these things. Please just give me one more chance!"

Zhou Tingshan sighed, looking regretful. "I know, it wasn’t your choice. I won’t say that I won’t give you a chance to reform. The next thing I ask, you must answer truthfully. Understand?"

It was like

Zhu Jun nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Was it Chen Dashan who ordered you to do this?" Zhou Tingshan asked.

"Yes, Zhou Tingshan, it was Chen Dashan who ordered me. He gave me a million to do this. I initially refused, but Chen Dashan said if I didn’t do it, he would make sure I couldn’t stay in Furong County. He threatened me, so I had no choice but to do it." Zhu Jun replied with a crying face.

Zhao Qiqiang fueled the fire from the side, "Uncle Zhou, did you hear that? Chen Dashan is black society. Not only did he hire thugs, but he also oppressed the farmers. It’s outrageous. Look at the villagers in the video. They were beaten so badly, it’s despicable! This kind of person must be severely punished! Lock him up, and he won’t come out for the rest of his life!"

The scolding was extremely harsh.

Zhou Tingshan nodded and said, "That’s right. If Chen Dashan has committed so many crimes, he won’t come out in less than twenty years. In this day and age, we still have black society. Such people are the country’s pests."

"Uncle Zhou is absolutely right. The country’s pests must be completely eradicated. Otherwise, they are a disaster for society and the nation!" Zhao Qiqiang said with righteous indignation.

Zhou Tingshan looked at Zhu Jun and questioned, "Zhu Jun, tell me, was the land forcefully bought and sold by Chen Dashan?"

"I don’t know about that. I am just a thug he hired for specific tasks. I don’t know the deeper details. Chen Dashan only looks for me when he needs some muscle. Other than that, he doesn’t involve me in his affairs." Zhu Jun was no fool. He wasn’t going to confess to everything.

Zhao Qiqiang signaled Zhu Jun with his eyes, indicating that Zhu Jun should accuse Chen Dashan of anything and everything.

This was the best time to throw dirt, say anything, and make Chen Dashan look as bad as possible.

But Zhu Jun pretended not to see and only looked at Zhou Tingshan, appearing very obedient.

"Do you know any other criminal activities Chen Dashan has been involved in?" Zhou Tingshan asked again.

Zhao Qiqiang started to get anxious and reminded, "Zhu Jun, this is your chance to make a meritorious contribution. If you perform well, your sentence can be reduced."

The meaning was obvious: make up any charges and pin them on Chen Dashan.

To avoid arousing Zhao Qiqiang’s suspicion, Zhu Jun thought for a moment and said, "Well, I do know a little. Chen Dashan’s newly built pharmaceutical factory might have some shady dealings. You should investigate. I overheard someone from his team mentioning that there might be counterfeit drugs. You can check it out."

Zhou Tingshan grunted in approval. Although it was useful, it wasn’t anything groundbreaking, with no significant new information.

"Alright, I got it. It’s getting late. I’ll head out now. Qiqiang, make sure to keep an eye on him. I’ll personally come to take him away tomorrow." Zhou Tingshan said as he stood up.

Zhao Qiqiang quickly nodded and said, "Sure, no problem, Uncle Zhou. Just let me know when you come, and I’ll see you off."

Outside.

Zhou Tingshan smiled and patted Zhao Qiqiang on the shoulder, "Qiqiang, Uncle owes you a favor this time. If there’s anything you need in the future that doesn’t violate my principles, just let me know, and I’ll help you out."

Zhao Qiqiang was thrilled. This was exactly what he had been waiting for.

Previously, Zhou Tingshan only dealt with the Zhao Family because of Zhao Ding. Now that Zhao Ding was gone, the connection needed to be maintained by Zhao Qiqiang.

"Alright, thank you, Uncle Zhou."

After seeing Zhou Tingshan off, Zhao Qiqiang returned to the private room, looking rejuvenated.

"Zhu Jun, you are truly my lucky star. This move of yours-using peaches to return the favor-worked wonders. Not only did we crush Chen Dashan, but now Zhou Tingshan owes me a favor. What would you call that?"

"Killing two birds with one stone, a double blessing," Zhu Jun said.

"Exactly, two blessings at once. Haha, you did an excellent job!" Zhao Qiqiang was overjoyed.

Zhu Jun smiled and rubbed his hands, "Brother Qiang, you see, I know I’ll have to go in. Once I’m in, my wife, my family..."

"Don’t worry, you won’t be inside for long. I asked around. At most, two years. How about five million a year?"
