Door crack

Chapter 21 Door Gap and Negotiation

The store has been decorated almost, only a few decorative partitions and furnishings.

Seeing Zhang Chi and Xu Lifeng carrying boxes into the store from a distance, Zeng Chen walked over unhurriedly, and only when Xu Lifeng entered the store alone with the cardboard box in his arms, did he call to the person he was looking for, "Brother Zhang, Is it convenient to take a step to talk?"

You don't need to ask to know why the other party came to you. It's a matter of time, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.Zhang Chi nodded silently, turned around to explain a few words to the store, and then dragged Zeng Chen to the 24-hour fast food restaurant across the pedestrian street.

After drinking the warm soy milk, Zeng Chen felt that he had gained some strength. He didn't have time, and he didn't want to spend too much time talking, so the conversation got straight to the point, "Please tell me, what happened to Yiming?"

His scrutinizing gaze passed over Zhang Chi's body without a trace, and Zeng Chen lowered his eyes and blew on the cool soy milk.To be able to sit in the minister's position, it is impossible without a pair of eyes that are good at observing words and expressions. Zhang Chi's momentary hesitation was accurately captured by him, so he was even more convinced that Zhang Chi must know something.

The atmosphere of silence made the fragrant breakfast dull. As time passed, Zhang Chi still had no intention of answering. Zeng Chen would not give up easily, and mechanically repeated the words he said before, "Please tell me."

Countless kinds of rhetoric flashed through his mind, but none of them stood up.Zhang Chi picked up a paper towel and wiped the soup sticking to the corner of his mouth, and looked directly at Zeng Chen who was frowning. He would not avoid Zeng Chen's questions, but he also had the right to choose whether to answer.

"If Qiao Yiming didn't tell you, it means he didn't want to say it, and I have no position to answer for him."

Knowing that Zeng Chen would lose his composure after hearing this, Zhang Chi waved his hand, not giving Zeng Chen a chance to intervene, "Yu Li, I have to say this, he has his choice and his own decision."

"What about Yu Qing?" Zeng Chen is a smart person, and he quickly guessed that the key point of the topic is behind.

"Yu Qing, the moment I saw you coming to me, I had a reason to tell you the truth."

His intuition told himself that something must have happened to Qiao Yiming, but he couldn't be sure what happened, so he would deceive himself with such a lame lie.Zeng Chen's eyes were burning, he waited for Zhang Chi to speak without saying a word.

Pushing several pages of photocopied litigation documents in front of Zeng Chen, Zhang Chi finally said, "This is the document that Lu Ting filed a lawsuit against Qiao Yiming."

"Litigation? Why?"

"Because Qiao Yiming seriously injured Chi Lin and is now being held in the police station. Chi Lin is still alive, but he has not passed the critical period and may die at any time."

Mess!My mind is all messed up!

how come?Qiao Yiming hurt Chi Lin?Although the possibility was not zero, it was just that the news came so suddenly that he couldn't accept it for a while, "He won't take the initiative to find trouble."

"It is true that the other party found fault first, but no evidence was found. The two sides are in a stalemate, and Qiao Yiming has to be imprisoned pending trial."

A lot of information was sorted out one by one in his mind. Needless to say, Zeng Chen also knew the twists and turns. The relationship between the Chi family and Lu Ting was not good enough for Lu Ting to sue on his behalf. The Chi family was powerless, but Lu Ting wanted to help Chi. Lin avenged this revenge.At least in this matter, the Chi family and Lu Ting have mutual interests, so naturally they are happy to use Lu Ting's hand to make things happen.

After pressing Lu Ting's phone number, he couldn't get through without any surprises. Obviously, the other party had already blacklisted him. Zeng Chen put away his phone and pursed his lips with a smile.

He still understands Lu Ting's temper, and the possibility of sitting down to have a good talk is basically zero, so he is not in a hurry to contact Lu Ting, what he has to do is to make good use of the bargaining chips he has.

Back home, Zeng Chen stepped on a stool and tore a long object tightly wrapped in a woven bag from the top of the closet. It was not a treasure, but the iron pipe that had disappeared, with his own blood on the top. On the other end, of course, there are Lu Ting's fingerprints.

When I hid the iron pipe back then, I still didn't want Lu Ting to be involved in the lawsuit. How ridiculous was I at that time?Just by saying 'that was an accident', he convinced himself that Lu Ting had no malicious intentions.

However, things are impermanent. At this moment, I will personally use this evidence as a bargaining chip to save a person who is worth waiting for.

With Ran Qing's help, the proceedings went very smoothly. I am afraid that the police and the procuratorate have made troubles for Lu Ting these days.

The more Zeng Chen thought about it, the happier he became, and he laughed unconsciously.In the dimly lit underground parking lot, I found Lu Ting's car at the familiar old location, and he sat leisurely on the front hood, waiting for the person who had been hiding and refusing to see him.

As long as he wants, Lu Ting can go to prison at any time. Of course, this is not his ultimate goal. What he wants is a bargaining chip and the compensation he should have received long ago.

The employees who got off work one after another looked at their former leader with surprised eyes. Zeng Chen responded with a gentle smile without hesitation, and even greeted those who were familiar with him until there was only this one car left in the parking lot. car.

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed infinitely in the empty underground parking lot. Zeng Chen listened attentively, and said softly, "Mr. Lu, long time no see."

"What are you doing here?" Lu Ting asked in a bad tone.It was true that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so long that Zeng Chen could no longer see the slightest infatuation in his eyes.

"You should know what I'm here for."

Emotions can easily cover the eyes with a layer of veil, making it difficult to see right from wrong and distinguish between good and evil. Looking at Lu Ting's current behavior, Zeng Chen couldn't help but question what he liked about Lu Ting back then.

Selfish, irritable, snobbish, and likes to habitually shirk responsibility. Apart from having a good appearance and good work ability, I really can't find any advantages in other aspects.

"You should know more about the bastard things Chi Lin did than I do?" Zeng Chen asked straight to the point.

Lu Ting frowned, and stared at Zeng Chen vigilantly without saying a word.

"Don't you want to talk? It's okay, if you don't talk about it, I'll talk about it." Zeng Chen adjusted his posture to make himself sit more comfortably, holding the phone in his hand and playing with it, "The reason why you let Chi Lin do this could not be simpler Maybe Qiao Yiming doesn't understand you, but I understand that he simply thinks that everything is caused by Chi Lin, but Chi Lin is just a spoiled second-generation ancestor. The brain does things so carefully."

"Chi Lin hates me, and also hates Qiao Yiming. I seduced Chi Lan to cheat first, and finally gave Chi Lan a verbal blow. Qiao Yiming, who sent the recording to you, is my accomplice, and they all indirectly forced Chi to death. Lan’s murderer, it’s normal for him to have trouble with us. But don’t forget, Lu Ting, what directly led to Chi Lan’s suicide? It was the news of cheating that was spread, who did it? Dare you say it? Dare to admit it? You are a wimp, you really make me look down on you."

"Encouraging Chi Lin to trouble us, and even trying to kill Qiao Yiming with Chi Lin's hand, you have a good plan, you have identified me as the person involved, and Chi Lin may not believe what I say, but Qiao Yiming Ming Ke is different, he participated in this matter as a bystander, what he said will make Chi Lin listen, so you are afraid, right?"

Lu Ting's eyes became colder and colder, he strode forward and grabbed Zeng Chen's neck, and asked coldly, "What do you want? I don't know about Chi Lin's trouble with Qiao Yiming this time."

"It doesn't matter if you know or not. The important thing is that you know that Chi Lin has always wanted to punish Qiao Yiming. Isn't my purpose obvious? I want you to withdraw the lawsuit and withdraw the lawsuit against Qiao Yiming. Qiao Yiming at most It’s overprotection, there is no intentional homicide.”

"Withdraw the lawsuit? That's impossible. He almost killed Chi Lin. I will never let him go."

"There is nothing to talk about like this, and I will not let you go, you can go to jail with Qiao Yiming." Capturing the wavering in Lu Ting's eyes, Zeng Chen chased after the victory, "Stop pretending to be passionate. He keeps saying he loves Chi Lin, and at the same time uses Chi Lin to keep himself out of the affair to remove suspicion, Mr. Lu's view of love is really unusual."

"Are you threatening me?"

The collar was tightly grasped, and the neck was strangled so hard to breathe, which made Zeng Chen's face even paler, "It's not a threat, it's a negotiation, if you agree to withdraw the lawsuit and let those three bastards prove that Qiao Yiming is innocent , I will also withdraw the prosecution against you, I think your love for Chi Lin is not as deep as you think."

Lu Ting let go of his hand, and there was a trace of panic in his heart. The panic in his heart was said, maybe he really didn't love Chi Lin as much as he imagined, because when he heard the chip proposed by the other party, he was really shaken.

Knowing that Lu Ting was weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Zeng Chen added with a smile, "You made the deal anyway, right? You traded a legitimate defense for your intentional hurt."
