Chapter 585: Surviving Between Cracks

Deputy Director Cui’s words were filled with confidence in himself. “This way, if Cheng Yan’s actions aren’t exposed in the end, 1 can still survive in the cracks. But once she’s exposed, I can quickly get rid of myself. So no matter what the outcome is, 1 have a way to protect myself.”
“Deputy Director Cui, you’re really too naive. Do you really think Cheng Yan will allow you to survive in the cracks? She’s the kind of person who will take revenge. Once she has an absolute advantage, she definitely won’t let you off.”
Shan Yue leaned forward slightly. “And the most important thing is that you slapped her face in front of so many people today. If the matter is exposed in the end, do you think she won’t pull you in as a scapegoat?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange expression flashed across Deputy Director Cui’s face. However, after a slight pause, he quickly returned to normal. Although he thought that he was very fast, the smaller the details, the easier it was for Shan Yue’s sharp eyes to catch them.
“Even if she wants to pull me in as a scapegoat, she needs that ability. Now everyone here can testify for me that I had an argument with her. That alone is enough to prove that we’re not in the same boat.”
Just like that, Deputy Director Cui met Shan Yue’s gaze, and his aura competed with Shan Yue’s. “President Shan, you don’t have to say these words to scare me. The fact that I can reach my current status means that I wasn’t frightened. No matter what you say, I won’t be swayed at all.”
Shan Yue nodded and reached out her hands to applaud Deputy Director Cui.
“I really didn’t expect that Deputy Director Cui’s ability and mentality were not inferior to Director Cheng at all. However, how could a smart person like you not think of it?”
Even so, Shan Yue had her ways. “In front of the law, even if ten people say that you’re not guilty, as long as one of them says that you’re guilty, you’ll definitely be suspected.”
Although Deputy Director Cui was unwilling to admit it, he knew very well that Shan Yue’s words were indeed the truth.
Moreover, Cheng Yan had the National Medical Department behind her. As long as she wanted to frame him, she would definitely be able to find a suitable method. It was this slight hesitation that allowed Shan Yue to quickly seize this opportunity. She knew that the other party’s heart had more or less wavered.
Right on the heels of that, Shan Yue opened her red lips again without giving him a chance to speak.
“You have to know that no matter how much money I give you, you have to be alive to spend it. Once you lose your life, everything you have will become fleeting clouds. And taking ten thousand steps back, have you ever thought about what your family will do even if she doesn’t know what to do with you?”
Shan Yue leaned back in her chair leisurely and crossed her legs. “If you anger President Dong, he’ll give you five million yuan, but he’ll turn around and ignore your family. Have you thought about what they’ll do? But as long as you agree to my request, you don’t have to worry about these problems. I can protect you.”
Shan Yue kept brainwashing him with words, and Deputy Director Cui was finally moved by her words. Although money was indeed very important, it was nothing compared to the freedom of the future.
“Are you sure you can help me?” Deputy Director Cui looked puzzled and couldn’t help but ask, “Cheng Yan was personally sent by the country, and it proves that there’s definitely a corrupt force protecting her in the medical department. Aren’t you just a simple entrepreneur? What right do you have to be so confident that you can protect me?”
“That’s where you’re wrong. I, Shan Yue, am not alone. Can’t you see that 1 have President Zhou and President Dong beside me? Three leading companies in our Federation City’s Central City have joined forces.”
Shan Yue deliberately lowered her voice and said in a volume that only a few people could hear, “To put it bluntly, even if the governor comes, he will give us some face. After all, the three of us represent the economic development of the Federation City.. And who said that the connections of corporations must be worse than those officials?”
