Chapter 896: Ke Zhengfeng’s Intentions (1)
“Then, has everything been settled?” asked Ke Zhengfeng again.
Shi Yuting’s sinister eyes glanced at him and landed on his face. The goblet in his hand swayed back and forth leisurely as if he was toying with it, but it was more like he was in control of the fate of the goblet!
This Ke Zhengfeng had obviously investigated him and knew that the issue with the land in A City had not been settled yet, so he took the opportunity to look for him. Or was it that he was playing tricks and wanted to obtain illegal benefits from him again?
He suddenly smiled.
“Since Director Ke has already investigated, why ask when you already know the answer?”
He was straightforward and did not like to beat around the bush. Ordinary people might not be able to accept it and would feel a little awkward, but this was Shi Yuting.
Ke Zhengfeng was stunned for a second before he smiled. He did not expect Shi Yuting to see through his intentions so easily.
Indeed, it was because he had investigated that matter of the A City land that he dared to approach him.
If Minister Ke did not help him a little, why would Shi Yuting cooperate with him?
“Mr. Shi is indeed smart. If Mr. Shi needs help with that matter, I can indeed help you a little.”
“Your purpose.” Shi Yuting looked at him. This Ke Zhengfeng might be an honest official in the eyes of the people, but in Shi Yuting’s eyes, he was a sly old fox!
Would he help without any conditions and no benefits?
Perhaps he was also the one who played tricks and then pretended to be a good person in front of him.
The minister chuckled again. “Mr. Shi, you’re worrying too much. I don’t have any hidden intentions. I just want to apologize for what happened last time.”
Shi Yuting narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to see through his calm face, but he couldn’t find anything.
Was this Ke Zhengfeng really here to apologize for what happened last time?
“Forgive me for being blunt, but even I won’t do anything that doesn’t benefit me.” He obviously didn’t believe Ke Zhengfeng’s words.
Ke Zhengfeng smiled again calmly. “Mr. Shi, you’re indeed smart. I do have a personal matter that needs your help.”
“Speak.” He took another sip of the wine in his glass.
“Well, it’s the same thing that happened last time. I hope Mr. Shi can forget about it this time too.” As he spoke, a note appeared in Ke Zhengfeng’s hand from nowhere. He then pushed it across the coffee table to Shi Yuting.
Shi Yuting’s long and narrow eyes looked at the note and realized that it was a check.
He scoffed at it. He was the only one who wrote checks to others, no one had ever bribed him with one before.
However, although he did not mention anything about the previous incident, it was also because he did not want to care about such trivial matters. What was Ke Zhengfeng’s motive for suddenly making an issue out of an adult’s past?
His dark eyes looked back at Ke Zhengfeng and saw him smiling obsequiously.
His mind quickly thought of the changes in Z Country in the past few years, and a piece of recent news suddenly appeared in his mind.
Recently, Z Country was running an election for the National People’s Congress, and it seemed that Ke Zhengfeng’s name was also in it.
Therefore, he was now planning to use this check to silence him. No matter how small the matter, he would not allow it to surface as long as it could hinder him from being elected as a representative in the National People’s Congress.
It was all starting to make sense now.
Ke Zhengfeng was already expecting his check to be rejected when he saw that Shi Yuting had not budged and inch to touch it.
