The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 529: Common Interests

"Tea, freshly brewed, Lu'an Guapian, Boss Peng's favorite." Cheng Mo smiled slightly and pointed to the teacup opposite him.

"Boss Cheng knew that I would come?" Peng Nian exclaimed in surprise.

"Boss Peng, we two have a common enemy. Wu Sibao treated you like this. Are you willing to do it again?" Cheng Mo asked back.

Peng Nian was silent.

He had no deep hatred with Wu Sibao, but the reason Wu Sibao assassinated him was just because he was following Lin Shiqun's orders, and he suffered this fate only because he was Ding Moqun's confidant.

He was annoyed and furious at first, but now, he was more afraid, because as long as he followed Ding Moqun, the danger would exist.

Not only is there an anti-traitor team from Chongqing, but there is also an internal power struggle. He doesn't want to become a victim of the power struggle between Ding and Lin.

Although Ding Moqun stood up for him on the surface, he was essentially still afraid of Lin Shiqun and did not dare to confront him head-on. The Japanese were protecting Lin Shiqun, and now there was only Bai Saner who was carrying out the assassination. This guy would definitely not have a good end.

But there is a high probability that Wu Sibao will be fine. At most he will be detained for a few days and then released with an excuse.

Although he was lucky enough not to die, he felt very upset about this matter.

"Have tea, have tea." It can be seen that Peng Nian looks conflicted. His coming here does not necessarily mean that he has made up his mind. In fact, he also wants to come and listen to what he will say.

The tea had been brewing for a while and was now just ready for drinking. Peng Nian also felt a little thirsty, so he drank three sips in a row before putting down the teacup.

"Mr. Cheng, even if you knew, so what? The people and the evidence are all in No. 76. What can you do to him?" Peng Nian calmed down and asked.

"Without evidence, the police station can't do anything to him, but we can change our thinking and start with public opinion. If the outside world knew the real reason for Chen Manli's death, would they rush to spread it?"

"What's the use?"

"Once the rumor spreads, it will inevitably have a huge impact. Does No. 76 have to respond?" Cheng Mo asked.

"That's possible, but if we suppress public opinion right away, it won't have a chance to rise. That will be useless."

"With me here, will they be able to suppress public opinion?" Cheng Mo said, "Even if the Japanese put pressure on the concession authorities, I can delay it for a day or two. By then, public opinion will have been formed and it will be too late to suppress it."

"Even if No. 76 responds, he will not admit it." Peng Nian said.

"Yes, this is No. 76's family scandal. Once they admit it, the consequences will be very serious. So, it doesn't matter whether No. 76 admits it or not. As long as they don't admit it, Bai Saner and Wu Sibao must appear in public alive. They won't kill Wu Sibao, but I don't think they will let Bai Saner go. If he is allowed to live, he will talk nonsense in the future, which will be a problem."

"I guess Bai Saner has been executed by them now..."

"It's better to execute him. Once Bai San'er dies, there will be no evidence. But once public opinion is aroused, if No. 76 denies it, then Bai San'er is dead and they can't call him back. How will they explain it to the public?"

"Mr. Cheng, what you mean is that Wu Sibao killed people to silence them?" Peng Nian was suddenly startled and asked with his eyes wide open.

"Director Peng, what do you think?"

"If things really develop as you expected, then it still cannot be directly related to Wu Sibao?"

"Bai Saner's body!"

Peng Nian looked at Cheng Mo in horror. This young man's mind was so terrifying. This was actually his purpose.

Once Bai Saner is silenced and public opinion is manipulated, such a sensational case is bound to attract public attention.

Then No. 76 must respond. If they deny it, they will think Bai Saner is dead and everything will be settled.

Anyway, people tend to forget things and will stop paying attention to them after a while.

But if the police station found the body of "Bai Saner", then the drama would not be over. No. 76 could kill to silence the witness, and the police station could also forge evidence... Of course, it would not be considered forgery. Even if Bai Saner was not killed by Wu Sibao, he was still involved.

"Boss Peng, as long as the police station issues a warrant for Wu Sibao's arrest, it will be difficult for him to stay in Shanghai. As long as he leaves Shanghai, you and I will no longer be a threat. Moreover, Wu Sibao's base is in Shanghai..." Cheng Mo stopped talking.

Peng Nian's heart moved. Cheng Mo's words really touched him. If he could force Wu Sibao to leave Shanghai, then the threat to him would be temporarily lifted.

He didn't know that Ding Mocun and Lin Shiqun had actually reached a consensus to let Wu Sibao leave Shanghai and hide somewhere else for a while.

Ding Mocun would not tell Peng Nian this, and Lin Shiqun did not really want to send Wu Sibao away, but this was the choice he had no other choice.

Once Wu Sibao left Shanghai, he would be a toothless tiger.

It would be much easier to kill him.

Peng Nian read the murderous intent in Cheng Mo's words.

If he could kill Wu Sibao, he would be able to vent his anger, and he wouldn't have to do it himself, and Lin Shiqun wouldn't blame him.

Cheng Mo wanted to make something of Bai Saner's corpse, which was his purpose in finding me.

This is an act of betrayal to No. 76. Once discovered, he will be in trouble. He has to weigh the pros and cons.

"Boss Peng, do you want to go back and discuss this with Boss Ding?"

Peng Nian's eyes widened when he heard this. What we are saying now can still be told to Ding Mocun. Isn't that...

Wait, that’s not right. If Wu Sibao died, it would be a good thing for Lao Ding.

"Mr. Cheng, can I ask, what benefits will this bring to you?" Peng Nian looked at Cheng Mo seriously and asked.

"My wife is about to give birth, and I have to eliminate all hidden dangers for her and the baby." Cheng Mo said.

Peng Nian was silent in his heart, this reason was very powerful.

What real man doesn't want to protect his wife and children from threats? Cheng Mo did this completely out of his responsibility as a husband and father.

"Director Peng, you can't be indecisive. Just tell me straight out whether you are going to do it or not." Cheng Mo pressed.

"Mr. Cheng, I can only provide information. I can't do anything else." Peng Nian seemed to have made up his mind. It would be too frustrating if he did nothing. He really couldn't bear it.

"Deal!" Cheng Mo stretched out his hand.

Peng Nian hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and shook hands with Cheng Mo.

"Boss Peng, today we are talking about Jiang Gan stealing the book. It's a very good story. Would you like to listen to it first before leaving?" After talking about the main business, it is natural to talk about some unimportant things.

"Mr. Cheng is busy with work, so I won't disturb you. See you later." Peng Nian didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye.

"Then I won't see you off. Take care."

Peng Nian hurried downstairs and left.

At this time, a man wearing a short-sleeved jacket, blue canvas suspenders and a baseball cap passed by Cheng Mo and gave him an "OK" gesture.

Cheng Mo also clapped his hands, took out a banknote and put it under the teapot, then took his umbrella and book and quickly went downstairs and left.
