Chapter 156: Guess 89 is not separated
After listening to Qiao Jingyu's words, Lu Jinghai's face instantly showed a trace of embarrassment. He subconsciously cleared his throat, trying to cover up his inner uneasiness. However, in just a moment, his slightly unnatural expression quickly returned to normal, replaced by a kind of shrewdness and composure after long-term business experience. He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Qiao Jingyu sharply, and his tone was calm but with a hint of questioning: "Just say it if you have something to say. Why did you come to see me on purpose?"
Qiao Jingyu, who was standing opposite, said directly without any hesitation: "It's very simple. As long as you hold a press conference and tell the truth about Mu Kaiyuan's case in front of many media, I promise to withdraw the lawsuit immediately and no longer pursue the matter. At the same time, I will let your son go."
Hearing this, Lu Jinghai was stunned at first, then frowned, looked at Qiao Jingyu with suspicion, and pretended to be innocent and retorted: "I really don't know what you are talking about! This is the fact that Mu Kaiyuan accepted bribes. Is there anything to dispute?"
Seeing this, Qiao Jingyu just smiled faintly, thinking to herself that the man in front of her really wouldn't cry until he saw the coffin. She took a deep breath and decided to analyze the current situation for Lu Jinghai, so she said slowly: "When you were summoned for the first time, you admitted that Mu Kaiyuan did not accept your bribe and had returned the bank card to you. But later you changed your words and said that Mu Kaiyuan did not return the bank card. If I guess correctly, it must be that Zhang Guohua who secretly gave you a lot of benefits, which made you change your confession so easily. As for what kind of benefits he gave you..." At this point, Qiao Jingyu deliberately paused and looked at Lu Jinghai meaningfully.
Qiao Jingyu narrowed her eyes slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. She paused for a moment deliberately, then stretched out her slender fingers and tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp and rhythmic sound.
Her cold eyes stared straight at the slightly panicked Lu Jinghai opposite her, and she said slowly, "He will definitely tell you that you are guilty of bribery, and at most you will be sent to jail for a year or two. But what about when you get out? By then, he will be the secretary general! As long as he says a word, he will let you do those big engineering projects. This one or two years of imprisonment can be exchanged for endless wealth and glory for the rest of your life. If you calculate carefully, this deal is a sure win no matter how you look at it."
Hearing this, Lu Jinghai's face turned pale as paper, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He widened his eyes, his face full of shock and panic, and said with trembling lips: "You... stop talking nonsense here!"
However, at this moment, his heart was already in turmoil. This seemingly weak woman in front of him was so meticulous and careful that she not only keenly noticed that he was secretly recording, but also easily saw through that Zhang Guohua was the backer behind him. What made him even more unbelievable was that she could even guess the various tempting promises and generous conditions that Zhang Guohua made to him so accurately, without any mistake.
In fact, Qiao Jingyu was just analyzing the current situation. However, looking at Lu Jinghai's reaction at the moment, she estimated that she was probably right. Qiao Jingyu looked at Lu Jinghai sharply and said slowly, "Whether what I said makes sense or not, you know better than anyone else. I believe Zhang Guohua promised you that this matter would not be made public and would only be handled properly within the army. In this way, both your personal reputation and the reputation of the company you run can be preserved without any impact. At that time, you can make up an excuse as you like, such as a sudden traffic accident. Then, you only need to stay in prison for one or two years. In prison, Zhang Guohua will make careful arrangements for you to ensure that you will not suffer any hardship. When you are released from prison, you will still be the same glorious you, and there will be no substantial changes in all aspects of your life. Not only that, with the help of Zhang Guohua, your company will flourish and prosper. With this in mind, it can indeed be called a good thing!"
Lu Jinghai now looked as if he had seen a ghost. He looked at Qiao Jingyu, too shocked to utter a word.
"It's just..." Qiao Jingyu suddenly changed her tone, "It's obvious that Zhang Guohua broke his promise. I'm sure it was Zhang Guohua who leaked Mu Kaiyuan's case to the media."
"Absolutely impossible." Lu Jinghai interrupted Qiao Jingyu with a firm tone.
"Nothing is absolutely impossible in this world." Qiao Jingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you think he really cares about your situation? He can even frame his colleague and friend of many years, so who are you?
Maybe he had already thought about how to expose the case from the beginning, and was just trying to trick you into dragging Mu Kaiyuan into it.
You are the only one who knows the truth. Your existence is a time bomb for him. He will be safer if you collapse."
Lu Jinghai felt as if he was hit on the head by a stick and stood there in a daze.
Qiao Jingyu was not in a hurry to continue. Lu Jinghai was not a fool. It could be said that he was quite smart. As long as she gave him a little reminder and some time to buffer, he would be able to figure out the interests involved.
Qiao Jingyu took out her cell phone to check the news. The footage of Song Yang being besieged in the hospital had been posted online. The sharp, indignant, and righteous words brought Mu Kaiyuan's case to a climax again.
The insults against Mu Kaiyuan on the Internet became even worse, and even extended to his wife and daughter, saying that they were not good people either and should go to hell. Such curses and insults were everywhere, and some people even said that the houses they lived in were bought with the hard-earned money of ordinary people, and some even said they wanted to burn him to death.
Qiao Jingyu just frowned and turned off her phone, then looked at Lu Jinghai, "How is it? Have you figured it out now?"
Lu Jinghai's emotions fluctuated several times today. He calmed down and said, "It is impossible for me to hold a press conference. I will never do something that makes the same mistake over and over again."
Qiao Jingyu frowned. It seemed that he had overestimated Lu Jinghai's intelligence. He was quite good at being cautious and cunning, but why was he so confused when it came to serious matters?
"This is not repeating the same mistake over and over again, but correcting it." Qiao Jingyu continued angrily, "You came to see me in disguise, which means that you must have been targeted by the media. This is just the beginning. Slowly, your whole family will not be able to live a normal life, and people will point fingers at you wherever you go. Once these negative news are exposed, your company will definitely be greatly affected. Do you think anyone will be willing to cooperate with you?"
