Chapter 2876 Go Turn Yourself In

"How can I save you?" Qin Feng asked Ding Wenbo again, his expression remaining impassive.

"I don't know, but I know you must want to save me, and you must have a way to save me, otherwise you wouldn't have brought me back from the airport today, and you wouldn't have reported this to anyone." Ding Wenbo looked up at Qin Feng slightly.

Qin Feng smiled upon hearing this but remained silent. Those who had reached this position were all foxes who had cultivated for thousands of years.

"Right now, only you want to save me on this entire sandbar, and only you can save me. Everyone else wants me dead."

“I know that you have a very special relationship with Secretary Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee, and you also have support from Beijing. The reason you said those things to me in your office today is that you have a way to save me.”

"Mayor, all I want now is to live. I'll do whatever you ask if you can save me." Ding Wenbo looked at Qin Feng with pleading and longing in his eyes.

Ding Wenbo looked extremely pitiful at that moment.

Qin Feng quietly smoked his cigarette while looking at Ding Wenbo. After taking several puffs, he said, "You're right. Of course I want to save you. To be more precise, I don't want to save you. I want Shao Hongli to be brought to justice."

"I want to save you, which means I definitely have a way to keep you alive, but it will also cost me a lot. Right now, there is no basis for trust between us."

"Ding Wenbo, let me be clear: I want to save you, and I can save you, but you have to convince me that you are worth saving, and that you won't go back on your word," Qin Feng said calmly.

Ding Wenbo picked up the down jacket he had placed beside him and took out a USB drive from it: "This USB drive contains detailed evidence of the benefits I transferred to Shao Hongli. Every penny I gave Shao Hongli is recorded here clearly. With this, Shao Hongli will have solid evidence. Not only will Jiang Longjun be unable to protect him, but even the person behind the Yang family will be unable to protect him."

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng's heart stirred; this was exactly what he wanted most.

Qin Feng reached for the USB drive, but Ding Wenbo took it back: "Mayor, you know this is my life-saving charm. Before I hand it over to you, you have to tell me how you're going to save me."

“If you surrender to the Discipline Inspection Commission, they will naturally guarantee your safety. I will speak to the Discipline Inspection Commission, which can be considered as you voluntarily confessing your problems to the organization. Then, if you expose the illegal and criminal activities of Shao Hongli and others, and voluntarily hand over your illegal gains to the organization, all three aspects combined can maximize your chances of a lenient sentence.”

"You and I are both within the system, so you know how effective these three things combined will be. You can get out after a few years in there and enjoy your retirement with your wife. This is already the best outcome for you," Qin Feng said calmly.

"Mayor, if you can really help me get these three points, I will be eternally grateful and repay your kindness by serving you like a slave in my next life. But if this is your way of saving me, then I can't give it to you. I would rather risk going to Myanmar with Shao Hongli than listen to you."

“Going to Myanmar might give me a chance to survive, but going with you to the Discipline Inspection Commission will surely kill me,” Ding Wenbo shook his head.

"Oh, why?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"Since you know that the Yang family has a big shot in the province behind them, you should know that the entire Gansu-Liangzhou province is within the Yang family's sphere of influence, including the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

“If I don’t surrender to the Discipline Inspection Commission, I’ll first sneak into Myanmar and then try to escape on my own. Although the chances of survival are slim, there’s still hope. But if I surrender to the Discipline Inspection Commission, I’ll definitely die. The Yang family will never let me leave the Discipline Inspection Commission alive. Once I get there, they have a hundred ways to kill me, and I won’t have any room to resist.”

“Mayor, if this is your plan, then I’m sorry, I can’t give it to you. Just pretend I was never here tonight.” Ding Wenbo said as he stood up.

"When did I say I was telling you to turn yourself in to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Qin Feng asked Ding Wenbo with a smile.

"Huh?" Ding Wenbo was stunned, not immediately understanding the meaning behind Qin Feng's words.

"Sit down and have some tea." Qin Feng gestured for Ding Wenbo to sit down, then poured water into Ding Wenbo's cup.

"You mean...the...Central...Discipline Inspection Commission?" Ding Wenbo asked, somewhat stammering.

"Although I haven't been in Shazhou for long, my understanding of the Yang family is probably no less than yours. Don't forget how many times I've clashed with the Yang family. If I didn't even know the details of the Yang family, would I still be sitting here now?"

"Do you remember when Yang Zhijie framed me with that waitress? How did I manage to get back safely? I know the Yang family and the forces behind them better than you do. How could I possibly send you to your death at the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? Do you think I'm that stupid?"

"You don't need to question my connections in the capital. Since I made this arrangement, I must have the ability to do so. You know I was sent from the capital, and you also know that my safe return last time was definitely due to defeating the Yang family's network of connections in the province."

"I have already reported your case to the leaders in the province and Beijing today. The leaders have agreed to my proposal. As long as you are willing to turn yourself in, the organization will do as I say. It will be considered that you have voluntarily confessed your problems. In addition, with your report and voluntary surrender of illegal gains, you will be given the lenient punishment to the greatest extent possible."

"Ding Wenbo, you only have one chance, so I hope you seize it. Let me put it this way: now that I have reported this matter to the leadership, you will no longer have the opportunity to go abroad. Even if you do not turn yourself in, the higher-ups will still come to arrest you."

"You only have two possible outcomes. The first is that you will be taken away for investigation by the higher-ups, and the second is that the Yang family will kill you to silence you before that happens. I personally think the second possibility is more likely," Qin Feng said calmly to Ding Wenbo.

Ding Wenbo's face turned pale instantly, but then he sighed, lowered his head and drank his tea. He knew that what Qin Feng said was true.

Qin Feng had already reported Ding Wenbo's situation to Hu Guangxiang, so how could Ding Wenbo possibly have another chance to flee the country?

"Mayor, I have another request. If you don't agree or can't do it, I will not cooperate with you even if Shao Hongli and the Yang family kill me." Ding Wenbo looked up again.

"You said."

“Protect my wife. The Yang family is already using her to threaten me. If I turn myself in and report Shao Hongli, the Yang family will never let my wife go, given their ruthlessness. What’s the point of me surviving if something happens to my wife?” Ding Wenbo said resolutely.

"After you surrender, I will secretly take your wife to Jiangnan Province and protect her. She will be absolutely safe in Jiangnan Province, and I will not let anyone know her whereabouts until the Yang family is completely destroyed," Qin Feng continued.
