Chapter 59

The official said: "Mr. Cheng, I am very interested in your allegations, but the circumstances of this case are quite special. It involves a series of transnational cases such as international illegal immigration. The situation is complicated and it is difficult to carry out effective investigations."

Cheng Yuan said mockingly: "There is such a discussion among the people that the Anti-Corruption Commission always only swatts flies but not tigers."

The official's face changed, and he said: "We have always cherished the responsibilities entrusted to us by the law. As long as there are facts to be found, no matter how high the official position is, they must be severely punished. But if it involves high-level government officials, I hope you can provide strong evidence of."

Cheng Yuan said firmly: "Please believe that my accusation will never be based on rumors."

"You mean to say that you have the corresponding evidence?"

"Yes."

"When will I see the evidence?"

"soon."

"how long?"

Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said, "I will hand you a completed document within a month. Before that, I hope to maintain a smooth communication channel with you."

"Okay!" The two stood up and shook hands.The camera shutter sounded again, and the picture was frozen.

Photos of Cheng Yuan meeting with MACC officials are on Maquina's desk.Maquina picked up the photos, flipped through them one by one, looked at them slowly and carefully, and finally threw them down violently.Maquina picked up the phone on the table, hesitated for a moment but then put it down again, rubbing his temples on both sides, looking exhausted.

At this time, the men he sent to Beijing to kidnap Wu Yue came back, and Ma Kuina, who had nowhere to vent his anger, smashed an ashtray on the floor, pointed at the men and yelled loudly: "Trash! Trash! You can't do this well, this is your last chance! Get out, get out, I'm down, and you'll all have to sit in jail until you die..."

His subordinates retreated in panic, Maquina sat down decadently, stared at the phone, and finally picked up the phone...

After Cheng Yuan answered the phone, he slowly closed it.Pippi stood opposite and looked at him with concern.

Cheng Yuan looked at Pippi with a complicated expression and said, "The fish is finally hooked!"

Pippi asked in surprise, "It's Maquina?"

"Yes, he asked me to meet!"

Pippi said excitedly: "Great, everything is starting to go according to plan! It seems that this ledger is indeed Maquina's weakness! He is already scared!"

Cheng Yuan suddenly said: "Pippi, you go to Beijing right away, okay?"

Pippi was surprised, then woke up and said, "No, at least not at this time!"

Cheng Yuan was a little annoyed: "Why?"

Pippi said resolutely: "You may think Wu Yue is important, but now in my mind, you are more important than anything else! We made this plan together. You go to see Maquina, and I must be by your side. "

Cheng Yuan and Pippi looked at each other, both of them were in complicated moods.Pippi softened and said comfortingly: "I promise you, after seeing Maquina, no matter what the result is, I will accompany you to China and find that Miss Wu!"

Cheng Yuan put his hand on Pippi's shoulder, pressed it gratefully, and said nothing.

Maquina was meditating in the room, looking a little irritable.Mr. Fei asked from the side: "Didn't your people find Wu Yue?"

"No. The strangest thing is that the police over there are also looking for her. It is said that she disappeared suddenly..."

"It seems that Cheng Yuan has already anticipated this step and transferred her in advance! When are you going to meet?"

Maquina said fiercely: "Tomorrow!"

Maquina's men suddenly broke into the report: "Mr. Maquina, we found Wu Yue's entry record, she is now in Malaysia."

Maquina and Lao Fei looked at each other in surprise.Mr. Fei stood up and said, "I'll go to Cheng's to take a look." Now he and Ma Kuina are grasshoppers on the same rope, and these things have to be taken care of. If Ma Kuina is brought down, his life will not be easy. .

Wu Yue was strolling on the street with her luggage, looking at all this, she was both familiar and unfamiliar.She came to a specialty restaurant, watched it carefully and refused to leave for a long time.Wu Yue went in and sat down, thought for a long time, called out the name of the food, and asked the boss to have a bowl.

The boss is Chinese, and asked: "Miss, are you Chinese?"

Wu Yue nodded.

"You are really an expert, you must have eaten."

Wu Yue nodded, and shook her head after a while.

The boss smiled and put the food in front of Wu Yue, "Have you ever eaten it? The way you called it by name just now, it looks like you eat it often."

Wu Yue looked at the food curiously, then suddenly raised her head and asked the boss: "Really, what's it called?"

boss:"……"

After Wu Yue finished her meal, she continued to wander around the street with her luggage, holding the picture of the boat, looking for something at a loss.

A black RV whizzed by, and Cheng Yuan kept urging the driver: "Hurry up." Wu Yue's figure was fleeting, Cheng Yuan suddenly had a strange feeling, turned his head hastily, and vaguely saw Wu Yue's back."Stop!" he yelled.

Cheng Yuan jumped out of the car and ran to the back of the car, but there was no sign of Wu Yue at the empty intersection. Cheng Yuan stared round, looked around the street, and shouted: "Wu Yue, Wu Yue!"

Cheng Yuan panted and turned on the phone: "Pippi, hurry up, check the immigration records for me! Yes, I suspect that Wu Yue is on Jinchan Island! Yes, I will go back to the company right away."

Before she knew it, Wu Yue came to Cheng's office building. She tilted her head and looked up with a puzzled expression. She tried her best to find the memory fragments, but she couldn't remember anything.

At this time, Mr. Fei came out from the inside and was very shocked when he saw Wu Yue: "Wu... Yue?"

Wu Yue looked up at him and asked, "Who are you?"

Mr. Fei forced a smile and said, "I'm your godfather? You don't know me anymore?"

Wu Yue suddenly felt a little scared, turned around and dragged her luggage to leave.Mr. Fei was a little baffled, looked left and right for no one, and followed.

At this time, Cheng Yuan's car drove up to the building, and when Cheng Yuan got out of the car, Wu Yue had already left.Fate seems to be playing tricks on them all the time, always missing each other the moment before meeting, just like Cheng Yuan was running wildly on the streets of Beijing that night, missing intersections again and again...

Cheng Yuan stood in front of the office window with a worried expression.Pippi hurried in and shouted, "Uncle!"

Cheng Yuan turned around and asked expectantly, "Did you find it?"

Pippi lied and said, "No...no!"

Cheng Yuan said to himself: "Could it be that I misread it?"

Pippi lowered his head in a concealed manner, then raised his head and asked, "Have you decided on a meeting place?"

"Not yet." He turned anxious and said, "Pippi, I still feel something is wrong. Why do you think someone would pretend to be us and go to Beijing to find Wu Yue? And Wu Yue disappeared at this time. This must have something to do with Ma Kui. That matters!"

Pippi said consolingly: "It can't be inferred from time. Because Wu Yue disappeared first, and the impostor only found Wu Yue's home after Wu Yue ran away from home."

Cheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "I've always been afraid that she would come to Jinchan Island to look for me. It would be great if there was no entry record for her."

Pippi concealed and said: "Then I'll go first." He had already checked Wu Yue's entry records, and sent his men to search around the island.Soon his subordinates sent back news that Wu Yue's luggage was found in a small hotel.Pippi drove over immediately, and he walked into the room under the leadership of the boss, and Wu Yue's things were put inside.Pippi inspected it for a while, and then ordered his subordinates: "Keep an eye on me here, if Miss Wu comes back, tie me back too! Do you hear me?"

The subordinates quickly agreed.

At this time the phone rang, and Pippi answered the phone: "Uncle, I'm outside, I'll go back right away!"

Wu Yue is holding a poster with beaches, islands and yachts on it, walking on the beach alone, her eyes are exposed from behind the poster, looking at the front, her eyes are blurred...

In the setting sun, Jinchan Island floats on the sea, it looks so peaceful and peaceful...

Wu Yue watched obsessively, thoughtfully.

A black official car suddenly stopped beside her, several men jumped out of the car, and Wu Yue was hijacked into the car before he could react in time.

Ma Kuina raised his glass and said happily to Mr. Fei: "Thanks to you this time! I know what you think of Mrs. Cheng. After this matter is over, I will help you!"

Mr. Fei clinked glasses with Maquina and said, "It should be said to help us! Your influence on the Cheng family is not inferior to that of Mr. Cheng!"

Ma Kuina smiled triumphantly: "Then I hope that in the future, the Cheng family will only have one Mr. Fei."

The two laughed, and Mr. Fei asked, "Thank you, Mr. Maquina. By the way, where is your meeting tomorrow?"

Maquina whispered a place in Mr. Fei's ear, Mr. Fei nodded in satisfaction, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Pippi's voice was very low, and he called his subordinates from the villa and said: "You have to watch over there, and don't come back to see me until you get back to Miss Wu!"

Cheng Yuan came out of the villa neatly dressed.Pippi quickly closed the phone, and looked at Cheng Yuan in a disguised manner: "Uncle!"

Cheng Yuan hurriedly asked: "How are you getting ready? Ma Kuina just notified the meeting place!"

Pippi said in surprise: "Great, where is it?"

"A Japanese restaurant called Kenji."

"I know where it is, and that place is remote."

Cheng Yuan sneered and said, "Ma Kuinai doesn't want people to find out about this meeting. You can go, and everything will go according to plan."

"when will you arrive?"

Cheng Yuan raised his wrist to look at his watch and said, "Half an hour later!"

Pippi nodded and left quickly.

68．fall again

A camouflaged van was parked on the side of the road, and Pippi was sitting in the car staring at the Japanese restaurant across the road.

After a while, Cheng Yuan's car drove over.

Pippi watched Cheng Yuan walk into the store, picked up his mobile phone and said, "The ingredients are all ready, and the dishes can be served!"

Cheng Yuan was blocked by Ma Kuina's men at the door of the private room, and he held an instrument for searching bugs in his hand.

Maquina sat inside and said apologetically, "Sorry, for safety!"

Cheng Yuan nodded in understanding and raised his arms actively.Ma Kuina's subordinates scanned Cheng Yuan up, down, left, and right with the instrument, then took a few steps back and nodded slightly.

Ma Kuina ordered: "Let's all go out, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb us." Turning around, he said hypocritically to Cheng Yuan: "A Yuan, sit down! These unnecessary measures are just in case, I sincerely I want to have a heart-to-heart chat with you."

"I understand, let's start!" Cheng Yuan sat down and said.

Connie suddenly appeared not far outside the private room, and pointed the long-lens camera in her hand at Cheng Yuan and Maquina inside the private room...

Ma Kuina was not in a hurry, filled up the wine glass in front of Cheng Yuan, then raised his glass to Cheng Yuan and said, "Come, have a drink, very good sake."

Cheng Yuan said coldly: "We are not here to drink, let's cut to the chase."

Ma Kuina put down his glass and said with a smile: "They are all sensible people, so there is no need to pretend to be confused. I heard that you got something from Uncle Qi."

"Yes! Although someone burned his house, he made preparations before his death, and the account books are not with him."

"What are you going to do?" Maquina picked up the glass and drank it himself.

Cheng Yuan asked sarcastically, "What do you think?"

"Please allow me to remind you that Cheng Qi is a traitor to your family. How credible can a traitor's records be?" Ma Kuina said with a half-smile.

"Whether the accounting books can be trusted or not is not up to you or me. I only know one thing, dead people don't lie."

Ma Kuina became ferocious: "Cheng Yuan, what do you want?"

Cheng Yuan said calmly, "I just want to know what it is that can make a person an ungrateful thief."

The two stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became stalemate.After a long while, Ma Kuina laughed wickedly: "You misunderstood this, in fact, Cheng Qi did all the things that hurt you."

Cheng Yuan sneered and said, "It seems to be right at all. Push it on the dead man's head. This is why Uncle Qi left the account book! Tonight, there is no need to talk about it." He looked at Ma Kuina sarcastically Said: "So dishonest." Cheng Yuan stood up, as if he was going to leave at any time.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Connie protested loudly, "Let go of me! . . . I want to see Mr. Marquinas!"

Maquina frowned and asked loudly, "What's going on?"

Maquina's men escorted Connie in and reported, "Just now we caught this person hiding outside and secretly filming. She said she knew you."

Connie protested loudly while struggling and said, "I'm a reporter! Don't touch me, I'll sue you."

Ma Kuina looked at Cheng Yuan suspiciously: "You brought it?"

Cheng Yuan looked calm: "I seem to have heard your subordinate say that she knows you."

Maquina turned to look at Connie and asked, "Do we know each other?"

Connie said cynically: "Master Secretary of State, who doesn't know him? I'm just a little reporter. Your subordinates robbed my camera. I'm here to ask you to get it back."

Maquina motioned to his men, who took out their cameras.Maquina said sternly, "This is just a private party, what's there to shoot?"

Connie asked back: "How do you know I'm taking pictures of you? This is a public place, and there is no law that says I can't take pictures!"

Maquina ordered his subordinates: "Write down which newspaper she belongs to, and let her go."

"Give me back the camera, or I'll sue you!" Connie said loudly.

Watching this scene, Cheng Yuan became nervous.

"Delete everything she took and return it to her." Maquina said impatiently.

"No need." Connie grabbed the camera, took out the memory card from it, and handed the memory card to Maquina, who threw it on the table in the middle.

Connie held up an empty camera and said, "I gave you all the memory cards, so you can let me go?"

Maquina frowned and waved his hands, and his subordinates led Connie away.

Connie was escorted out of the restaurant by Maquina's men.Pippi sat in the van across the road, watching everything.Connie got into the taxi under their surveillance, and made a success gesture in Pippi's direction before getting into the car.

Pippi smiled knowingly, and quickly started to act.

After Connie left, Cheng Yuan said: "Let me tell you the truth! I will hand over the account books to the Anti-Corruption Commission, so make preparations in advance!" After saying this, Cheng Yuan walked outside.

Maquina yelled, "Wait a minute!"

Cheng Yuan stopped.

Maquina pretended to be very relaxed, and said with a smile: "I don't think you need to do that, you should keep the account books in your hand."

Cheng Yuan turned around and spread his hands, "Give me a suitable reason."

Maquina said thoughtfully: "Since we are communicating frankly today, let me tell the truth!"

Cheng Yuan looked at Ma Kuina gloomyly, he was waiting for this moment.

Maquina said leisurely: "I have always had a political creed, that is, the Chinese in Nanyang should unite. In this country, we Chinese should have our own political power."

Cheng Yuan walked back and sat down, and said sarcastically, "Including corrupt political forces?"

"Listen to me." Ma Kuina quickly explained: "Your Cheng family is the leader of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. You have invested so much money and trained so many lawyers. Why? Isn't it just to find a reliable one? Is it a political backer? You can think about it calmly, actually! You still need me."

Cheng Yuan sneered and said: "You collude with the scum in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, do insider trading, smuggle people, and earn all kinds of dirty money. Sooner or later...you will be full of evil." He scratched the back of his head and said mockingly: "I think Our Cheng family doesn't really need such a backer, do you want me to give you evidence?"

Maquina smiled covertly: "I admit that I did those things, but I dare to swear that I didn't use a penny to satisfy any of my personal desires. You also know that politics requires money , I used that money as political expenses. My ultimate goal is to strive for the greatest welfare for the Chinese in this country."

When Pippi heard Maquina say this in the car, she snapped her fingers excitedly.

Cheng Yuan said playfully: "What you are fighting for is your political ambition and your selfish desire for power. Don't put it so nicely."

Maquina gritted his teeth, but he was helpless: "Don't you understand? The Chinese in Nanyang really can't engage in politics. What we need is a strong political figure, a strong man who can do whatever it takes to achieve a lofty goal."
