Chapter 593 - 593 561 The Debt of Injustice

593: Chapter 561: The Debt of Injustice 593: Chapter 561: The Debt of Injustice Guo Dong really showed up as promised at the Wanke Restaurant the next day, where Black Dog naturally offered Guo Dong drinks and dishes at the table.

Just after drinking two cups, Guo Dong’s vision blacked out, and he instantly passed out.

When he woke up, he found himself no longer in the Wanke Restaurant, surrounded by pitch darkness, unable to see anything clearly, feeling only his entire body bound to a rigid object.

“Black Dog, you ignorant fool!

How dare you trick me!

Wait till I get out, and I’ll show you how ‘death’ is written!

Release me now, and I might spare your life!” Guo Dong shouted abusively for half an hour, realizing no one was responding at all and gradually calmed down.

Being in the dark without food or drink was a minor issue, but what was truly unsettling was not knowing the current time or the situation around him.

Guo Dong didn’t know how long he had endured until a voice finally emanated from the darkness.

“Guo Dong, who instructed you to incite the Mingyang Factory workers?”

Upon hearing someone speak, Guo Dong instantly felt revitalized, “Who are you?!

Stop playing games!

If you dare, come out here!”

After Guo Dong said these words, no more replies came from the darkness.

Furious, he broke into another tirade of curses, still ignored by anyone.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when the same question emerged from the darkness, “Guo Dong, who instructed you to incite the Mingyang Factory workers?”

When in his life had Guo Dong been toyed with like this?

He immediately started cursing furiously again, but to no avail.

The third time the voices rose from the darkness, Guo Dong was utterly exhausted and merely replied, “Give me something to eat and drink, then I’ll tell you.”

The voice disappeared into the darkness again until the fourth time the same question was asked.

Guo Dong, with extreme weakness in his voice, replied, “It’s…

Wu Yanzhi.”

Right after he spoke, Guo Dong felt something brought to his mouth, and he immediately ate hungrily.

After eating his fill, the voice from the dark continued, “So Deputy Mayor Wu Yanzhi instructed you to incite trouble at the Mingyang Factory?”

Guo Dong, tormented to his limit and unaware of who his opponent was, had no hope of rescue, and he immediately responded, “Yes!

It’s Deputy Mayor Wu Yanzhi.

Now that I’ve told you, can you let me go back?”

“Call Wu Yanzhi, confirm his identity after reciting the entire event, and then ask him for more money, understand?” After speaking, a phone emitting a faint light was handed to Guo Dong.

“Once you make this call, you can leave, but plan your own exit.

If you don’t make this call, you needn’t go anywhere, I’ll prepare your exit for you, think it over.” The voice in the darkness finished and disappeared again.

In such a situation, did Guo Dong have any other options left?

Clearly not.

As Guo Dong was about to dial the number, the voice in the darkness resonated again, “Think carefully about what you need to say, you are a smart man, you should understand.”

After hesitating for a few seconds, Guo Dong dialed Wu Yanzhi’s number.

After a few busy tones, a voice came from the other end, “Hello, who is this?”

“Is this Deputy Mayor Wu Yanzhi?

I’m Guo Dong,” Guo Dong asked from his end.

“Guo Dong?

What’s the matter with you calling?” Wu Yanzhi asked, somewhat suspiciously.

“Mayor Wu, it’s about last time, when you had me pay people from Yangming Factory to cause trouble at the city hall,” Guo Dong briefly explained the situation.

“Isn’t that matter already resolved?

The people involved were caught, what else is there?” Wu Yanzhi now believed it was truly Guo Dong on the other end, though he sounded somewhat impatient.

Afraid that Wu Yanzhi might hang up, Guo Dong hurriedly said, “Mayor Wu, the ninety thousand you gave last time wasn’t enough.

They said each person needs another ten thousand.”

“Hmph!

The people have already been arrested, and you still dare to ask for money?

Why ask for money?

Not a penny more!” Wu Yanzhi said on the other end of the phone.

“Mayor Wu, if they spill the beans, it could be bad, affecting your position as mayor!” Guo Dong sensed that Wu Yanzhi was getting impatient, so he decided to provoke him.

Sure enough, Wu Yanzhi sneered and said, “Do you think I, Wu Yanzhi, am easily frightened?

Let them try and see if they can bring me down!” He then immediately hung up the phone.

“Well done!” As soon as the voice in the darkness finished speaking, Guo Dong felt something cover his mouth, and he immediately passed out.

In the meeting room of the Yuhua City government, a discussion about the relocation expenses of Yangming Factory was taking place.

Hong Rengui insisted that Yangming Factory should pay for it themselves, his face stern, “We have thought of many escape routes and found many solutions for Yangming Factory.

If we continue to pay for them in this matter, it might be indefensible to the other enterprises and the public.”

Yang Guangrong, of course, knew this was a significant expense, but he knew that there was still a surplus in the municipal finances, so he said, “Firstly, we proposed this relocation decision; it is fair and reasonable to provide certain compensation for the relocation.

Secondly, there is still a surplus in this year’s municipal finances, which can cover these expenses.

Thirdly, Yangming Factory has basically not had any surplus funds this year.

If we force them to pay these expenses, it might lead to the misappropriation of workers’ wages, and if workers’ wages are not paid, the problems that occurred last time may recur.

Therefore, I propose that this expense should still be borne by the municipal finances.”

This put Hong Rengui in a rather awkward position; he felt that Yang Guangrong was opposing him at every turn, particularly on the Yangming Factory issue, where he was utterly unyielding.

Hong Rengui was angry and said directly to Yang Guangrong, “Secretary Yang, my starting point has always been for the development of Yuhua City.

Since we are aiming for development, sacrifices are inevitable; not all development progresses smoothly.

Once we get through this painful period, tomorrow will undoubtedly be better.”

Yang Guangrong shook his head, “Your words are true, but the sacrifice is too great.

The problem of feeding tens of thousands of people is not easily resolved.

I still insist on giving Yangming Factory the funds and time.”

Seeing that the conversation had come to this point and that there was no turning back, Hong Rengui turned to the other committee members and said, “Then let’s put it to a democratic vote.

Those in favor of Yangming Factory bearing the expense themselves, please raise your hands.”

Hong Rengui was the first to raise his hand, followed by the Director of Propaganda Jiang Bin, and then the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Shi Gucai.

Yang Guangrong knew he was not in a favorable position in the City Committee, so he usually called for expanded meetings for major issues, but today he was caught off guard and lost the lead.

Finally, it was Deputy Mayor Wu Yanzhi’s turn.

Yang Guangrong knew he had always sided with Hong Rengui, so he could only inwardly sigh for Yangming Factory.

Just as Wu Yanzhi was about to raise his hand, the door of the meeting room was suddenly opened.

Liu Hun, holding something that looked like a folder, walked in and said to Yang Guangrong, “Secretary Yang, this was left at the door of the City Committee office just now.”

Seeing that the final vote was about to take place, but then disrupted by this troublemaker who walked in and spoke directly to Yang Guangrong, completely ignoring himself, Hong Rengui was extremely displeased, “Liu Hun!

What kind of place do you think this is?

Is it for you to just stroll in whenever you please?

No discipline!

Get out right now!”

Liu Hun nodded and said, “Then I will just leave the materials alleging Deputy Mayor Wu here.” With that, he was about to leave the meeting room when Yang Guangrong called him back, “Liu Hun, come back here and let me look at those materials.”

With that, Hong Rengui had no choice but to look at Wu Yanzhi with an inquiring gaze, as Wu Yanzhi was also puzzled, not knowing who else in Yuhua City would dare to accuse him.

After Yang Guangrong reviewed the materials, he put the tape into his Walkman and played it in front of all the committee members.

“Is this Deputy Mayor Wu Yanzhi, I am Guo Dong.”

“Guo Dong?

What do you want, calling me?”

“Mayor Wu, it’s about the last incident when you had me pay people from Mingyang Factory to cause trouble at the city government.”

“Wasn’t that matter already resolved?

The necessary arrests have been made; what else is there?”

“…”

As soon as the tape finished playing, Wu Yanzhi broke out in a cold sweat, feeling the chilling cold that seemed to penetrate his heart and soul.
