Chapter 2877 How can I trust you?

"How can I trust you?" Ding Wenbo asked.

Hearing this, Qin Feng laughed and said, "Do you have a choice?"

Ding Wenbo's eyes dimmed instantly. Yes, did he still have a choice now?

"Since you disguised yourself and evaded their surveillance to come here in the middle of the night, it means you trust me and have already made up your mind. You need to give me a guarantee, and I can only guarantee you with my integrity, Qin Feng's integrity." Qin Feng offered Ding Wenbo another cigarette.

Ding Wenbo nodded silently, took the cigarette from Qin Feng, and after thinking it over, asked again, "What are the mayor's arrangements?"

"How did Shao Hongli arrange your schedule for tomorrow?" Qin Feng asked.

"I'll fly to Shanghai tomorrow morning, then from Shanghai to Yunnan, and then cross the border from Yunnan," Ding Wenbo said.

"Why do we still need to fly to Shanghai?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

“There are no flights from Xi’an to Yunnan tomorrow. I told him that you called me to your office today to ask about my medical check-up in Shanghai. He was afraid you would find out, so he told me to fly to Shanghai first and then fly to Yunnan from Shanghai.”

"Tomorrow will be different from today. They started monitoring me from today, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will arrange for someone to monitor me from tomorrow until I am deported," Ding Wenbo reported.

"After your plane lands in Shanghai tomorrow, someone will take you and your wife away. You will be taken directly to the capital, and I will arrange for someone to secretly take your wife back to Jiangnan Province for resettlement."

"What you need to do is very simple: cooperate with them completely before leaving Ganliang Province, and don't let them notice anything amiss. Once you leave Ganliang Province, you will be completely safe," Qin Feng said calmly.

Ding Wenbo looked at Qin Feng, nodded solemnly, and then handed the USB drive in his hand to Qin Feng: "Mayor, this is my sincerity. Even if I am silenced by Shao Hongli when I go back tonight, you can still bring down Shao Hongli."

"Don't worry, you won't die, as long as they don't find you when you leave here. If they really dared to kill you on the sandbar, they would have done it long ago. Why would they go through all the trouble of bringing you to Myanmar and then silencing you?" Qin Feng said with a smile as he took the USB drive.

"After you are taken away, you must hand over all your illegal gains, truthfully confess all the illegal and disciplinary violations you have committed over the years, and most importantly, report them. This is a major meritorious service. Whether you can get a reduced sentence, and by how much, depends on you." Qin Feng gave Ding Wenbo his final instructions, because Qin Feng believed this was his last chance to talk to Ding Wenbo.

"I know what to do, Mayor. Please take good care of my wife. I will repay you in my next life by serving you like a cow or a horse." Ding Wenbo said, kneeling down again and kowtowing three times to Qin Feng, regardless of whether Qin Feng was willing or not.

Ding Wenbo has no bargaining chips left to offer Qin Feng except to kowtow. And Qin Feng is the only person he can trust and rely on right now.

This also shows how deep and genuine Ding Wenbo's feelings for his wife are.

"Don't worry, I, Qin Feng, always keep my promises. Get up." Qin Feng helped Ding Wenbo up.

Ding Wenbo stood up: "Mayor, I apologize for any offenses I may have caused you before. Goodbye!"

“Remember, when you confess to the organization, don’t mention me. Say that you voluntarily confessed to the organization yourself, and that I have nothing to do with it,” Qin Feng suddenly called out to Ding Wenbo.

Ding Wenbo was very surprised, then his eyes filled with emotion. He nodded to Qin Feng and said, "If I don't have the chance to repay the mayor's great kindness in this life, I will repay him even if I have to be his slave in the next life."

After Ding Wenbo finished speaking, he opened the door and went out.

Why was Ding Wenbo so moved? Qin Feng told Ding Wenbo not to mention that he had forced him to turn himself in, but to say that Ding Wenbo had voluntarily chosen to turn himself in. This was crucial, as the attitudes and nature of the two statements were completely different, which would affect the subsequent sentencing.

As for Qin Feng, if he was the one who guided Ding Wenbo to surrender himself and confess to Shao Hongli's illegal and criminal acts, then that would be considered Qin Feng's achievement.

In Ding Wenbo's view, Qin Feng used his own merits to exchange for Ding Wenbo's chance to reduce his sentence, and Qin Feng was his great benefactor.

Qin Feng did indeed have this idea, because after spending the last two days with Ding Wenbo, he found that Ding Wenbo was not a bad person at heart. Apart from embezzlement, he had not done anything else that was morally reprehensible, which was completely different from Shao Hongli.

Moreover, Ding Wenbo is a genuine person. He treats his wife very well, and people who treat their wives well are generally not bad.

Therefore, Qin Feng was willing to help Ding Wenbo.

However, Qin Feng was not a pushover. He didn't want Ding Wenbo to involve him because he didn't want to completely fall out with Jiang Longjun over this matter.

Jiang Longjun had made it clear to Qin Feng that he should stop investigating the matter, which meant he was protecting Shao Hongli. Yet, Qin Feng deliberately sent Ding Wenbo to the Discipline Inspection Commission, which was tantamount to openly opposing Jiang Longjun.

Although Jiang Longjun had already begun to target and suppress him, Qin Feng still did not want to confront Jiang Longjun, because now was not the time.

Before bringing down the Yang family, Qin Feng did not want to fall out with Jiang Longjun, or at least not become his enemy.

As for those achievements, Qin Feng never cared. In all his years in politics, he had no shortage of merits.

After Ding Wenbo left, Qin Feng fiddled with the USB drive in his hand, smoked a cigarette, and carefully considered and weighed the whole matter again. Finally, he got up and went out to knock on Yang Yuxin's door.

They knocked for a long time, but Yang Yuxin didn't open the door.

Qin Feng knew that Yang Yuxin was still angry with her, and she also knew that Yang Yuxin was deliberately not opening the door, and that she might be watching her through the peephole.

"If you don't open it soon, I'm going back to sleep," Qin Feng said to the door.

Still no answer, so Qin Feng turned around and went home.

Qin Feng had just reached his front door when Yang Yuxin opened it and stood there in her pajamas: "Why are you knocking on my door?"

"Are you really angry?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Qin Feng, have you never trusted me?" Yang Yuxin asked, staring at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng avoided Yang Yuxin's gaze and said, "Alright, don't be angry. I came here specifically to apologize to you. My attitude earlier was indeed not good."

Yang Yuxin stared at Qin Feng for several seconds, making Qin Feng feel a little uneasy.

Then Yang Yuxin suddenly turned to Qin Feng and said, "Come in, aren't you cold standing outside?"

"It's too late, I won't go in. Go to sleep early, goodnight!" Qin Feng said, preparing to return to his room.

"Is this your attitude when you apologize?" Yang Yuxin was very dissatisfied.

Helpless, Qin Feng could only turn around and walk into Yang Yuxin's house.

"Ding Wenbo is gone?" Yang Yuxin asked.

"Mm." Qin Feng nodded.

"It seems you haven't lost this game yet; you've already found a way to turn things around," Yang Yuxin said.
