42: An important talent comparable to three armies!
“Who is this person I shouldn't have offended?!”
“Who the hell did I offend?!”
City Police Inspector Bureau.
In an interrogation room.
The long tube light bulb above emitted a faint white glow.
Wei Rong sat with his hands cuffed in front of him, deep in thought.
He truly couldn't recall when he had offended a powerful figure.
Liu Qingcheng's single phone call could force Director Wang Geng, the Director of the County Police Supervisory Bureau, to back down. What did that signify?
Wei Rong could guess just by thinking about it.
It must have been an extremely influential figure.
Otherwise.
Would Director Wang Geng, that old fox, have backed down?
Don't even think about it!
The only possibility was that the person who pressured Director Wang Geng to retreat held an absolutely esteemed position.
Why would such a person target Dingsheng Group?
This point.
Wei Rong couldn't figure it out.
He pondered carefully, thinking about his actions in recent days.
These past few days.
Dingsheng Group had no significant operations.
No...
Wei Rong immediately recalled something.
The Group hadn't had any major operations for a while.
But not long ago.
Because he wanted to monopolize the entire county's steel business, he went to the only small Steel Factory in the county and proposed an acquisition.
This small Steel Factory was information provided to him by a subordinate named Zhao Guangsheng.
Otherwise,
He wouldn't even know of the factory's existence.
Thinking of this.
The face of a young man involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Could it be because of this young man named Li Mubai?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
As soon as this thought arose, Wei Rong shook his head, dismissing it.
He didn't believe that a small Steel Factory could possess such influence.
Before going to the Steel Factory.
He had specifically investigated the Steel Factory's background.
It was merely a factory on the verge of bankruptcy.
Not only that.
The steel technology of this small factory was also very outdated.
If it were fifteen or twenty years ago, such a Steel Factory might still make money, as the demand for steel quality wasn't as high then as it is now.
However.
Such steel quality, if put on the market now, would be self-defeating; very few people would be willing to order it.
Furthermore.
The establishment of a Steel Factory required special authorization, which was quite troublesome.
That's why he considered acquiring this Steel Factory.
He had thoroughly understood the background of this Steel Factory.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made a move.
He still understood the principle of assessing the situation.
Just then.
With a creak, the interrogation room door opened.
A man around fifty years old was the first to enter.
He wore a military green short-sleeved shirt, had a crew cut, and a robust physique.
Just after he walked in.
Another figure followed closely.
This person wore a police uniform short-sleeved shirt, had a square face, and a face full of wrinkles, approximately fifty years old.
Hearing the movement.
Wei Rong looked up.
He didn't recognize the former.
But he was extremely familiar with the latter, the person in the short-sleeved police uniform.
It was none other than Director Zeng Zhiguo, the Director of the City Police Inspector Bureau.
Wei Rong had seen him many times.
“Brother Zhenghua, this is the one you named. His name is Wei Rong, and he's the second-in-command of Dingsheng Group.”
Director Zeng Zhiguo looked at Zhao Zhenghua, politely introducing Wei Rong's situation.
Zhao Zhenghua nodded.
Then Director Zeng Zhiguo pulled out a chair, motioning for Zhao Zhenghua to sit down and talk.
Seeing this scene.
Wei Rong's eyes nearly popped out, his heart filled with shock.
What kind of person was Director Zeng Zhiguo?
He was the Director of the City Police Inspector Bureau!
Such a person, if not a titan, was one in a million, an object of countless businessmen's desperate attempts to curry favor.
Even his Dingsheng Group couldn't catch his eye.
Yet now, what did he see?
He actually saw this important figure pulling a chair for a man in a plain military green short-sleeved shirt!
If this news got out.
It would definitely cause an uproar among the public.
What exactly was this person's identity?
Wei Rong couldn't help but secretly guess.
Just from Director Zeng Zhiguo's act of pulling out a chair for him, he understood that the identity of the man in the military green short-sleeved shirt was by no means simple!
And.
From Director Zeng Zhiguo's words just now.
Wei Rong also understood that this man in the military green short-sleeved shirt was the mastermind behind his being brought here.
He didn't know the other party, let alone offend him.
If that was the case.
Why did the other party insist on rounding up all the high-ranking members of their Dingsheng Group?
“Are you Wei Rong?”
Zhao Zhenghua spoke indifferently, but his voice was full of vigor.
An invisible aura also spread, making people feel awe.
“He's asking you a question, hurry up and answer!”
As Wei Rong remained silent, Director Zeng Zhiguo frowned and admonished him from the side.
Hearing this.
Wei Rong immediately lowered his gaze and replied respectfully:
“I am.”
Zhao Zhenghua nodded, then asked again:
“Three days ago, did you threaten a person named Li Mubai on the phone?”
Hearing this, Wei Rong froze.
Li Mubai?
Isn't that the name of the Steel Factory owner?
Three days ago...
It seemed that was exactly when he called to threaten the other party.
Thinking of this.
Wei Rong's pupils suddenly contracted, his expression filled with disbelief.
“How is that possible?!”
“How could that Steel Factory owner have such connections?!”
Wei Rong's expression changed slightly, and his heart was stirred with immense waves.
The facts were laid out before him.
He couldn't help but believe it.
This important figure before him had come precisely for this young man, Li Mubai!
“Damn it, didn't Old Zhao say that Li Mubai had no connections whatsoever? What's going on now?!”
“Such an important figure came personally, and this is considered having no connections?”
“Damn it, daring to trick me!”
These words.
Wei Rong did not say them aloud, only regretting them secretly in his heart.
Because of such a trivial matter, the entire Dingsheng Group would be ruined, which was even more unjust than Dou E!
He even blamed Li Mubai, asking why, with such a powerful backer, he didn't reveal it sooner?
If that were the case, he wouldn't have provoked the other party.
And Dingsheng Group could still dominate the county.
Now that it had come to this.
Facing Zhao Zhenghua's question, Wei Rong knew that denial was meaningless.
At this moment, he could only actively admit his mistake.
“I'm sorry, this whole thing was a misunderstanding, I...”
Wei Rong's words were cut off by Zhao Zhenghua before he could finish:
“You only need to answer yes or no.”
Seeing Zhao Zhenghua's cold expression, Wei Rong could only close his mouth and nod in agreement.
Seeing him nod, Zhao Zhenghua immediately stood up and said to Director Zeng Zhiguo:
“Zhiguo, I'll leave this matter to you.”
“I hope you understand.”
“Because of this Wei Rong, the country almost lost a crucial talent in the field of steel!”
“That person's value is far more important than three army groups!”
“If, because of this incident, that person leaves the motherland, it will be a huge loss for the motherland and for the people!”
“Precisely because of this person's existence, in terms of steel, the country will at least avoid fifty years of detours!”
Comparable to three army groups?
Hearing this.
Director Zeng Zhiguo's heart was also surging with emotion.
What kind of talent was it that his old comrade-in-arms praised so highly?
Although he wasn't very clear about matters related to materials.
This did not prevent him from seeing Zhao Zhenghua's emphasis on that mysterious talent.
Furthermore.
This matter.
It wasn't just Zhao Zhenghua who took it so seriously.
Even Zhao Zhenghua's superior, an old major general, personally intervened for this.
The importance of that mysterious talent was self-evident.
Thinking of this.
Director Zeng Zhiguo's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
“I understand. For this matter, I will give you a satisfactory answer!”
