Chapter 100 Ask the right question
Yiyuandong, "Zhaoxu Taian" law firm.
An Rushong took the elevator to the 8th floor, and then walked along the corridor to the door of Room 8012.
Before reaching out to knock on the door, he first glanced at the room diagonally opposite. He remembered that when he first came here, Han Meiyan came out of that room. That was also the first time they met.
A very strange idea flashed through An Rushong's mind. He really wanted to go over and see what was in the room and who was in it. He wanted to know why Han Meiyan came here and who she met.
"Dong dong!"
With all these strange thoughts running through his mind, An Rushong knocked on the door unknowingly. Because he was not mentally prepared, he actually scared himself.
After reacting, he quickly adjusted his facial expression and drove away all distracting thoughts in his mind.
Although he and Shen Taian have known each other for a long time, in the past period of time, he was probably just a young man who was a little smart in the other's eyes, or a playmate of Zhao Chenghao, or even a social animal who could run some small websites. He was probably this kind of role.
To be honest, this "Uncle Tai'an" probably didn't take him seriously, and An Rushong knew it very well.
Therefore, today's meeting should be regarded as the first formal meeting between the two. No matter what the purpose is, An Rushong must treat it with caution.
After knocking on the door, I waited for about ten seconds, and then there was a light click from inside the door. Then, the door was opened from the inside, and a beautiful woman appeared inside.
An Rushong could tell at a glance that this woman was obviously not the same woman who appeared in this room when he came last time.
What a fucking old pervert. He's obviously an old man who's going to die soon, but he still bullies young girls all day long.
Beast! Not human! Despicable!
An Rushong's face was calm, but he cursed in his heart.
After the woman opened the door, she stepped aside and made room for the door.
An Rushong bowed slightly to the other party, then walked into the room, went straight through the entrance hall and into the living room.
Unlike last time, this time Shen Taian was wearing more formal clothes. When An Rushong walked into the living room, he was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room, drinking some wine by himself.
On the coffee table in front of him, there were a few side dishes and three or four bottles of sake.
Seeing An Rusong coming in, Shen Taian did not stand up. He still held a transparent glass in his left hand. He just pointed at the sofa opposite with his right hand holding chopsticks and said, "Rusong, come and sit down."
"Uncle Tai'an," An Rushong stood at the place where the living room and the entrance were connected, bowed to Shen Tai'an, then responded, walked over quickly, and sat down opposite the old man.
"Come, have a drink with me." After he sat down, Shen Taian took a glass and placed it in front of him, then took a bottle of wine and filled the glass in front of him with wine.
"Thank you, Uncle Taian," An Rushong quickly protected the cup and bowed to express his gratitude.
"No, no, no, I should be the one to thank you," Shen Taian put down the bottle, looked at him with a smile, and said, "You helped me a lot."
An Rushong certainly knew what the other party meant by this sentence. He did not deny it, nor was he modest. He just picked up the wine glass in front of him, turned his head to the side, and drank the full glass of sake in one gulp.
We are all smart people. At this time, if An Rushong pretends to be stupid and continues to say that the video about Jin Yudong circulating on the Internet has nothing to do with him, then there would be no point.
What's more, An Rushong now needs to demonstrate his abilities. He needs to let the other party know that he can do it.
Sure enough, seeing that he remained silent but drank the sake in the glass, Shen Taian laughed, took the bottle of wine again and poured him a glass.
"Rushong," Shen Taian said, holding up the wine glass in front of him and motioning to An Rushong, "Do you know that Uncle Taian has been on pins and needles for the past few days? A few hours ago, I even began to consider whether I should escape or commit suicide."
An Rushong clinked glasses with him, then drank the full glass of sake without saying a word.
Afterwards, without the other person pouring for him, he reached out and took the bottle, and poured himself another full glass.
To be honest, An Rushong doesn't like drinking sake. It's not very strong, but it's very easy to get drunk. The effect is no different from fake wine.
But today, he had to drink this wine, and he had to drink it happily without any hesitation.
Sure enough, Shen Taian was very satisfied with his action of pouring the wine. He didn't even touch his lips with the glass of wine in his hand. He gestured to An Rushong again and said, "Fortunately, the video appeared in time. It solved all the problems."
An Rushong pretended he saw nothing. He clinked glasses with the other party again and then drank the wine in the glass.
This time, Shen Taian did not try to be sneaky. He stared at An Rushong for more than ten seconds, then he laughed, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in the glass.
"But, Rusong, I still have a few questions that I hope to get answers from you," Shen Taian said in a calm tone, putting the empty wine glass in his hand on the coffee table without continuing to pour wine. An Rusong did not say anything directly. He took the bottle of wine and first filled the glass in front of the old man, then poured it into his own glass, and then said: "Uncle Taian, can you allow me to ask two questions first?"
Obviously he didn't expect him to say that. Shen Taian was stunned for a moment, but soon laughed and said, "Okay, go ahead and ask."
"It's like this, Uncle Tai'an, I want to know if Councillor Kong's troubles have been resolved now?" An Rushong asked directly without hiding anything.
"You can say that," Shen Taian did not hide it from him either. "Although the matter has not yet passed, the pressure from the Supreme Procuratorate should be eliminated."
"Then, Uncle Tai'an, can Councillor Kong put in a little effort to get Brother Jingsheng and Brother Chenghao back?" An Rushong asked.
Shen Taian frowned, and the two eyes under his thick eyebrows stared straight into An Rushong's eyes, as if he wanted to get into An Rushong's heart.
I have to admit that the old guy's eyes are powerful, sharp and cold, as if he can really see through people's hearts.
But An Rushong knew very well that this was all a psychological effect. There was no magical skill in the world that could see through other people's hearts. It only existed in myths.
So, when facing the old man's eyes, he was very calm and not panicked at all.
"You mean to say that everything you did was just to keep Jingsheng and Chenghao out of trouble?" Shen Taian asked hesitantly, as he could not tell anything from his eyes.
"Uncle Taian, you should know my situation," An Rusong did not answer the other party's question directly. He said, "I am from Gangwon Province, which is what people in Seoul call a country bumpkin. I have been in Seoul for so many years, and I don't have many friends, and no one considers me a friend, except Brother Jingsheng and Brother Chenghao."
An Rushong was justified in saying this, because when he first opened the diaries, account books, and CDs in the basement, what he was thinking in his heart was that he should do his best to rescue the Zhao Jingsheng brothers, because they were his friends.
As for now, only he knows what he is thinking.
"You" Shen Taian wanted to ask something, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by An Rushong.
"Uncle Tai'an, you haven't answered my second question yet," An Rushong said quickly.
"I can't answer this question for you, you can go ask Councillor Kong yourself," Shen Taian said after thinking for a while.
"Then can you arrange a meeting between me and Councillor Kong?" An Rushong asked.
"No need for me to arrange it. Councillor Kong has already asked me to arrange for you to meet him." Shen Taian said.
"When?" An Rushong seemed to be determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
"After you answer my question," Shen Taian looked at him and said calmly.
An Rushong stopped talking. He picked up the wine glass in front of him, gestured to the old man, and then, without waiting for the other party to clink glasses with him, he drank it all in one gulp.
This was already the fourth glass of wine he had drunk since he sat down, and it was sake, which he was not used to. At this moment, he felt a burning sensation in his stomach, as if it was on fire. At the same time, his face turned red, and his eyes were watery as if they were sprayed with onion juice.
"The first question is, where did Jin Yudong's scandal video come from?" Shen Taian understood what he meant and asked directly.
"There is a backdoor program in my NGN software," said An Rushong.
"Tell me what I can understand," Shen Taian interrupted him and made a request.
"You can understand that my software can monitor the computer of the software user," An Rusong said. "A week ago, I found some interesting videos from the PC of a user nicknamed 'Yuanwei'."
"Some?" Shen Taian didn't understand what An Rushong said, but he heard something that interested him.
"Some," An Rusong nodded and said, "Jin Yudong's scandalous video is one of them."
"Anything else?" Shen Taian asked.
An Rushong didn't say anything. He took out a hard drive from his pocket, put it on the coffee table, and pushed it in front of the old man.
On this hard drive, there are several videos he copied from those CDs. There are not many, a total of six, including Jin Yudong's. As for the protagonists of the remaining five videos, he himself does not recognize them.
"How did you target Jin Yudong?" Shen Taian picked up the hard drive and put it on the sofa where he was sitting. Then he asked, "How do you know that getting rid of him will solve Councillor Kong's problem?"
This question was not difficult for An Rusong, after all, he knew Han Mi-yeon, and Han Mi-yeon had previously revealed to him that Liu Taiming was going to jail for his family. Later, Liu Taimin apologized to the public for the bribery case.
