I have a space station

"Looking for Gong Kaiming to get someone? Do you know her name?" Niu Xingwang asked curiously.

"She keeps calling him Old Xue, I don't know his specific name. Should I go over and ask?" the mercenary replied.

"Oh, never mind, just leave it at that!" Niu Xingwang wasn't interested in knowing who it was.

Meilin, there were no people or things there he cared about.

Walking into the office where Gong Kaiming was being held, Niu Xingwang said:

"Gong Kaiming, not bad, actually planning to run away with all the residents of the city? Probably the only one in all of China!"

"Humph! Stop being so smug. Publicly detaining a state public servant, you won't have a good outcome either!" Gong Kaiming glanced at him sideways.

"I'm also thinking about the residents of the city. A person like you is simply not worthy of being a local official." Niu Xingwang said.

"Hahaha, Niu Xingwang, oh Niu Xingwang, your words sound better than singing. Dare you say you don't want to take Meilin for yourself?" Gong Kaiming said disdainfully.

"Not really. Based on the current strength of the Chamber of Commerce, building a resettlement area several times larger than Meilin would be no problem. What use would I have for your Meilin Resettlement Area?" Niu Xingwang said.

"Then why don't you choose to build one, instead of trying to seize mine?" Gong Kaiming asked.

"Mayor Gong is probably mistaken. I'm not thinking of seizing yours. Now that you're stepping down, it won't be the Huatong Chamber of Commerce taking over." Niu Xingwang said.

"Humph! Telling ghost stories! Just finding a puppet, right? Can't fool me!"

"Believe it or not! I'm here today to ask you one thing, where did you go last night? Who did you meet?" Niu Xingwang asked.

He knew he went to the Suiyang Resettlement Area and met Zuo Wenshan. But he still had to ask.

"No comment!" Gong Kaiming ignored his question.

"Eh? That's right? Where are your wife and children? Where did they go?" Niu Xingwang asked deliberately.

"You! ... You're too despicable, aren't you?" Gong Kaiming was a little angry.

"Mayor Gong, why do you say that? I'm just asking out of concern, what are you thinking!"

"The harm shouldn't extend to wife and children, you can't be so disgusting!"

"You think I'm like you? Enough nonsense, answer my question." Niu Xingwang wasn't interested in wasting time with him.

"Don't touch my family!"

"As long as you cooperate, they will definitely live well."

"Okay! I hope you keep your word!"

"I will."

"I went to the Suiyang Resettlement Area and met Zuo Wenshan." Gong Kaiming said the answer.

This was consistent with the information he had.

"What did you do seeing him?" Niu Xingwang asked.

"He is the Mayor of Mozhou City. The resettlement area is going to be relocated, so of course, I asked him to help me find a place." Gong Kaiming replied.

"Anything else?" Niu Xingwang asked.

"What else could there be?"

"Mayor Gong, if you're like this, the promise just now won't count."

"You... There's really only this much." Gong Kaiming wanted to be tough, but he didn't dare to, so he could only compromise.

"Guess if I go to see Mayor Zuo later, will he say the same thing as you?" Niu Xingwang asked.

Gong Kaiming was stunned.

Zuo Wenshan and he were old partners, so naturally, he trusted him.

But in the face of利益, who dares to guarantee anything?

Moreover, in case Niu Xingwang played tricks and used schemes, things might be leaked.

He now had to make a choice, whether to risk stubbornly denying it, or to reveal the existence of that letter?

But on second thought, if he stubbornly denied it, there would still be a glimmer of hope to wait for someone from the Military and Political Department to come. If he confessed to the existence of that letter, he was afraid that he would really have no hope at all.

So now there was no room for choice, he could only stubbornly deny it.

"You can ask whoever you want, if it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist." Gong Kaiming said.

"Alright, then Mayor Gong, you must remember, this is the last time I'm asking you. Once the matter is investigated, you won't have a chance." Niu Xingwang threatened.

"Investigate as you please." Gong Kaiming lowered his head, not looking at him anymore.

Niu Xingwang nodded.

"Okay!" He said the word 'okay', then turned and left.

...

Suiyang Resettlement Area.

"President Niu, what brings you here suddenly?" Zuo Wenshan asked.

"Mayor Zuo, did Mayor Gong come to see you last night?" Niu Xingwang got straight to the point.

"That's right, he did come, how do you know?" Zuo Wenshan looked like he didn't know what happened.

"Mayor Zuo, would it be convenient for you to say, what did he come to you for?" Niu Xingwang asked.

Zuo Wenshan frowned.

Logically speaking, Zuo Wenshan was an official, and Niu Xingwang was a civilian, so this tone of interrogation was not in accordance with the rules. But now, no one cared about that.

"Oh, nothing inconvenient. He said he wanted to relocate the resettlement area and asked me to find him a new place." Zuo Wenshan replied.

Niu Xingwang nodded.

"President Niu, to be honest, I also know a little bit about this matter. This Gong Kaiming is just a bit obsessed with being an official, and he values this power more, but he doesn't have any other thoughts. I think, there's no need for you to have such a big conflict, what do you say?" Zuo Wenshan sounded like he wanted to mediate.
