The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 489 Everyone takes a step back

Two bowls of steaming wontons were brought into the conference room.

One bowl for Cheng Mo and one for She Aizhen, large wontons with shepherd's purse, pork, seaweed, dried shrimp, drizzled with a little sesame oil and sprinkled with coriander.

The tempting aroma instantly stimulates people's taste buds and increases appetite.

"Eat, this bowl of wontons is my treat, no matter if your Captain Wu asks for money." Cheng Mo sat down, picked up the spoon and started eating.

Seeing that She Aizhen didn't want to eat, Cheng Mo said, "Don't just stare at me, Mrs. Wu, eat it. This is the famous Xiao Yang wonton, your favorite. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

A trace of panic flashed in She Aizhen's eyes. Even her favorite food, "Xiao Yang Wonton", was investigated so carefully by the other party. What secrets could she have that the other party didn't know?

"Mrs. Wu doesn't want to eat, is she afraid that I will poison her?" Cheng Mo stopped and looked at She Aizhen and said, "You don't have to worry. Captain Wu will know the situation here at any time. If you die, he will attack the Jing'an Temple Police Station at all costs, which will give you an excuse to escalate the conflict. I'm not that stupid."

She Aizhen was also hungry. She had been going to the Paramount for the past few hours just to get her hair done, but it ended up like this.

This wasn't what she wanted either.

She picked up the spoon on the table and started eating. She didn't eat quickly, unlike Cheng Mo who swallowed in big mouthfuls.

After all, she was born into a wealthy family, and this innate temperament was cultivated since childhood.

Of course, Cheng Mo could only admire that this woman did have her strengths, otherwise, with all the things she had done, she could have had a happy ending. It was really God's fault.

Of course, women have natural advantages, and there are some things that cannot be explained clearly.

After Cheng Mo finished eating, he drank up all the soup. It is shameful to waste food, especially now that many people are not getting enough to eat.

As for She Aizhen, she ate seven or eight wontons and then put them down. I don’t know whether she couldn’t eat any more or just didn’t want to eat anymore.

Cheng Mo took out a handkerchief and handed it over: "Unused."

"Thank you." She Aizhen looked at Cheng Mo in surprise, but still reached out to take it and wiped her mouth.

Cheng Mo waved his hand, indicating that She Aizhen should be returned to him.

"Mr. Cheng, I have used this handkerchief before."

"If Mrs. Wu is not okay and is misunderstood by Captain Wu, I don't mind keeping her." Cheng Mo laughed.

She Aizhen was stunned for a moment, then loosened her hand holding the handkerchief.

"Mrs. Wu, have you considered it? The conditions I proposed are not difficult for you to accept. For some things, if we both take a step back, there will be a bright future, right?"

She Aizhen was silent.

It would be great if we could both take a step back. Are you willing to wipe the slate clean with Wu Sibao?
"If I agree to sign the settlement agreement, will Mr. Cheng let me go immediately?" She Aizhen asked.

"Of course, I, Cheng Mo, always keep my word in the police station. If you don't believe me, Mrs. Wu can ask anyone to see if I am lying." Cheng Mo said.

"What if I don't sign?"

"Early tomorrow morning, all newspapers in the concession will publish the news that Mrs. Wu was arrested by the police station. The reason is that Mrs. Wu deliberately violated the concession regulations, refused to accept inspection, and attempted to provoke a conflict between No. 76 and the police station..."

When She Aizhen heard this, her face changed instantly. She was not afraid of provoking a fight between Section 76 and the police station, but if it became widely known, her reputation would be known.

As a woman, even though she did some shameful things, she still attached great importance to her reputation.

Look, Wang is clearly a traitor and his reputation has long been ruined. If any bad news comes out about him, do you think he would care or get anxious?

"Mr. Cheng, is there no room for easing up?"

"Didn't I tell you that we should both take a step back, you admit your mistakes, we pay the money, and we both get what we want. As for what you say when you go back, that's your business, whether you are forced to admit it or you admit it voluntarily, I don't care about that." Cheng Mo said with a smile. "Aren't you afraid that Old Wu will hate you?"

"Doesn't your Captain Wu hate me?"

"Okay, I'll sign." She Aizhen thought about it for a while, gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement. She was not a member of No. 76, so admitting her mistake would not implicate No. 76.

At most, she would be embarrassed, but if she was locked up in the police station, she really didn't know how Cheng Mo would deal with her.

Don't be fooled by his cheerful appearance now. He is definitely not a good guy. A barking dog will bite without warning.

"That's right, the problem has been resolved. Hello, I'm fine, and everyone is fine." Cheng Mo nodded slightly and asked someone to bring paper and pen.

After half an hour.

Cheng Mo personally escorted She Aizhen out of the Jing'an Temple Police Station.

At this time, Wu Sibao returned to No. 76 and saw that Lin Shiqun had not returned yet. Lin Zhijiang led the team to confront the police station. He was also surprised to see Cheng Mo personally escorting She Aizhen out of the police station.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

She Aizhen's face turned pale and she shook her head: "It's okay."

"Captain Wu has gone to see Director Lin. I'll take you back now. Do you want to go back to No. 76 or home?" Lin Zhijiang asked.

"go home."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Lin Zhijiang agreed.

"Captain Lin, want to talk?" Cheng Mo shouted to Lin Zhijiang before he left.

"Mr. Cheng, I have long heard of your name."

"I've also heard of the name Captain Lin. He's a key figure in the Blue Shirts Society under Director Lin." Cheng Mo laughed and directly pointed out Lin Zhijiang's identity as a traitor to the Military Control Commission.

"A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. Why does Mr. Cheng have to make fun of me, Lin?" Lin Zhijiang's face changed slightly, but he reacted very quickly.

"The conflict between the police station and Mrs. Wu was a misunderstanding. Mrs. Wu's bodyguards refused to be inspected and handed over their guns, which violated the concession regulations. Our police officer was nervous for a moment, his hand was shaking, and he accidentally pulled the trigger, causing accidental injuries, which then triggered a conflict. This fact is very clear, and Mrs. Wu has personally confirmed it."

Lin Zhijiang looked at She Aizhen, who nodded slightly.

Lin Zhijiang frowned, knowing that something bad was going to happen. If She Aizhen admitted that it was all a misunderstanding, then it would be basically impossible for No. 76 to blackmail the Municipal Council at once. Not to mention that No. 76 had always resisted the rule of entering the concession for inspection and handing over his gun.

But the agreement was signed in this way. If you want to cancel it, you have to find an excuse to make trouble. Now is an excellent excuse.

Now that She Aizhen admitted this, she was afraid that the police station would take the initiative.

It is estimated that She Aizhen did not think of this level, but the Mr. Cheng on the opposite side must have thought of it in advance. He actually took measures to cut off the source of the problem and confirmed the responsibility for the conflict.

This is going to be difficult.

"Captain Lin, we have released Mrs. Wu. You should also withdraw your people so as not to affect traffic." Cheng Mo continued, "Regarding the division of responsibilities and compensation, how about we find a time to discuss it tomorrow?"

Lin Zhijiang didn't know how to answer. The victim was not there, and Lin Shiqun hadn't given him the power, so it was really difficult for him to make the decision.

"Captain Lin, why don't you call Director Lin and ask for instructions? I have plenty of time to wait." Cheng Mo took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.

"Hold on."
