Mayor Zhang Ryo has been in office for more than three years now, and he was doing pretty well. Recently he was under pressure because there was suspicion that he was embezzling money from public projects. Though there was no evidence, public pressure was still intense, and now on top of that, the incident from the Wen family added more trouble to him. He tried his best to convince Li Wen to let Ye Wen go under trial. But now, because of an accident, Ye Wen died, and the Wen family wanted to know who was behind all this. They suspected that it was done by the same person who spread the article all over the internet and were pressuring him to find them.
Sitting in his office, Zhang Ryo picked up the ashtray and slammed it into the wall. He was clearly angry and did not know where to vent it.
"How the f**k am I supposed to know who is doing all this? Even the national agency was helpless against that person. What can I do?" He was cursing but was helpless because the Wen family had sponsored his election campaign. He could not just sit and do nothing.
Suddenly the door opened, and his secretary came in. She was a typical office lady with a cold air about her.
'Sir, the report from the police is here. As Mr. Li had suspected, there was a shadow of someone behind this."
Zhang Ryo took the file and started to skim through it. The more he read, the more his expressions changed. After a while, he placed the file back on the table and sighed.
"Is everything that is written here true?" He asked with a puzzled expression. He was stupefied by the information presented in this file.
"Yes sir, it has been verified. It's 99% true. Even state agencies got involved at one point because there was a chance of domestic terrorism, but after a while, they received a phone call and left. Saying that this is not a national security issue, and there was no need for them."
Sweat started to appear on his forehead, and he picked up the glass of water and drank it in one go.
"I can't even imagine the power the other party holds because they did everything with professionalism and left no clue at all. Even the workforce required to do all this is not easy to find. Which hidden dragon did Wen's family mess with? I am guessing that there might be no Wen family in the future from the things that I see in this file." He murmured while looking at the file on the table.
After a while, he sighed and looked at his secretary.
"Send all this data to Li Wen, let him look at it. I hope that he can understand that this is beyond me right now, and I can't do anything to help him. He might be able to learn something from this and save what he is left with."
His secretary nodded and left the office with the file in her hand.
"Routing the money through 50 different accounts and then leaving no clue at all about where the money came from and then that Lou Shi, he was the same as Ye Wen in some ways. Ah, I hope that they won't drag me into this mess." He again sighed.
He leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes. His breath started to become stable, and he was sleeping after a while.
Suddenly, A ringing sound came from his computer and woke him up. He opened his bloodshot eyes and looked towards the computer.
There was a black envelope type picture on the desktop of his computer, which was continually flashing.
"Huh, what is this? I don't remember having a folder like this on my computer and what is this ringing sound that is coming from the computer. Is this computer hacked?" He picked up the phone and called his secretary. He told her to get the IT guy here because his computer was acting weird. After telling her, he again looked at the computer.
"Well, there is nothing important on this computer, so let's see what all this about." He thought and clicked on the black envelope.
The moment he clicked, many files started to open. He looked at the files that were opened and controlled his best not to scream. His whole body was covered with sweat, and he clicked on other files at an extreme speed. With each file that he saw, he felt like a part of his soul left his body.
All these files contained evidence about his embezzlements and bribery. Even things about his private life were not hidden. They were also here.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. He looked at the door nervously and then saw that it was the IT guy he had called for.
"Sir, Miss Gou said that there was a problem with your computer. I am here to check that." The man said with a polite tone.
Zhang Ryo waved his hand and replied.
"Well, it's fixed now. I am a little busy right now. I will call you later." He tried his best to control his voice from not trembling, but nervousness could still be seen.
The IT guy gave a bow and said.
'Ok sir, I will be back after you are done with your work. Please let Mrs. Gou inform me again." he left after saying that.
Zhang Ryo looked at the closed door for a while in a daze and then turned his attention towards the computer.
'Who! Who is it? Who has all these things on me? Who wants to deal with me?" These questions were popping in his mind.
He looked nervously at the screen, and after a while, he started to calm down. He began to reason about all this.
"No, if they wanted to deal with me, they didn't need to send all these files to me. They want something else." He murmured while looking at the screen.
Suddenly, all files disappeared from his screen, and a cold synthetic voice sounded in the office.
'You are right, Mr. Ryo. If we wanted to deal with you, we did not need to show these things to you. But what we want is something else, and Mr. Ryo is required to cooperate with us."
Zhang Ryo looked at his computer in horror. It was as if someone had dropped a bomb on his head.
"They were watching me all this time." This was the only thought inside his head.
After a while, he calmed himself down and then nervously asked.
"Who are you, and what do you want from me?" His voice was clearly trembling when he said this.
"We? Well, you don't need to know that. What do we want? Well, we only have a problem with the Wen family, and you were a hindrance to our working, so we decided to warn you. Rest assured, the Wen family is the only one who we are concerned with. If you stepped aside and let us do our work, there will be no need for these documents to see the light. Are we clear, Mr. Ryo?"
A gulping sound came, and Zhang Ryo nervously replied.
"Yes, I understand. I will separate myself from the Wen family and have nothing to do with them in the future."
The moment he said that his computer turned off and the screen went black.
Seeing this, Zhang Ryo wiped the sweat from his forehead and leaned back on the chair.
"What have you got yourself into, Li Wen?. I thought you were a wise man and knew who to mess with and who not." He sighed while thinking this.
Then he picked up the phone and called his secretary.
"Where is the file about Ye Wen's case?." He asked in a nervous tone.
"Sir, A person from Mr. Li just picked it up." His secretary replied calmly.
He placed the phone on the table and thought.
"I hope it won't anger them, or else I am finished."
He did not know that he was not the only one who received a warning like this. Many top-level officials ofn the City Z received similar warnings.
There was a massive turmoil in the official sector of City Z, and many people were restless. They all knew that if they even lifted a finger to help Wen's family, the spear would shift its attention towards them.
No one in the official sector was loyal to the Wen family, each and every one was tied with the string of benefit. When they knew that this string was going to be fatal to them, they wouldn't hesitate to cut it and separate themselves.
In the Wen family house, the air was filled with sorrow and somewhat anger. Ms. Li had been taken to the hospital, and everyone else was sitting in the lounge.
They were discussing what to do about Ye Wen's case and who might be behind all this when he received a call from the Mayor's secretary, telling him that there was progress on the case, and he could pick up the file from the office.
