Chapter 263 Golf
Wang Ye found it hard to believe and confirmed it with Hu Bayi a second time.
In fact, Hu Bayi was a little confused at this time, but he still chose to believe Ning Weidong. In addition to the inherent trust, there was no need for Ning Weidong to lie to him. If it was a lie, it would be exposed within a day, by tomorrow morning.
Wang Ye rubbed his hands together, paced on the ground, and muttered: "He actually did it!" Then he came to his senses: "By the way, what else did he say? How does he need us to cooperate?"
Hu Bayi said: "That's not the case, but he asked us to send this news back to China as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes! Send a message to the country." Wang Ye took a breath. She sent back all the difficulties they had encountered before and the situation here.
It is conceivable what kind of emotions and opinions are in the country at this time. Some people may even have begun to urge them to be recalled as soon as possible.
Now that we have good news, it must be sent back to the country as soon as possible to boost confidence.
Another thing is that Ning Weidong's contact with Bakibanov this time is also a big deal and must be reported immediately.
……
The next day, Ning Weidong crawled out of Anaiasna's arms.
This woman was like crazy last night. Maybe she was under too much pressure during this period and she let it out all at once.
Fortunately, Ning Weidong has a strong physique, otherwise he really wouldn’t be able to handle it.
"Honey, you're awake." Anaiasna fluttered her eyelashes and opened her eyes.
Ning Weidong said "hmm" and kissed her forehead: "If you feel sleepy, sleep for a while."
Anaiasna glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost nine o'clock.
"Don't sleep anymore. You must be hungry. I'll get up and make you something to eat." Anaiasna got up from the bed, put on her clothes happily, and went into the kitchen.
After a while, a Russian breakfast was served.
Ning Weidong ate slowly while thinking about what to do next.
After returning from Almaty, there was actually nothing for him to do.
Next, it depends on how Bakibanov operates. He must rescue Kirolev and his son first. As for the follow-up... Ning Weidong thought that it might not be easy to handle.
Because the tractor factory has already taken the opportunity to elect a new director, and it would be almost impossible to let old Kiroryov go back if the new director does not make any mistakes.
After all, there is only one job for each person.
The final result is likely to be a position in the provincial government.
The difference at this step is too great. Old Kiroryov's rank is not low. If it weren't for Bakibanov, he would just be placed in an idle position and taken care of for retirement.
Now that Bakibanov has intervened, it is impossible to give it an idle position. Even if old Kiroryov agrees, Bakibanov will lose face.
There are also Kiroryov's original political resources.
If the Kirolev family were to fall completely, these resources would be completely divided up.
But now, although it has not completely fallen, some things have become subtle, betrayal and loyalty, choice and interest.
But no matter what, Ning Weidong doesn't need to worry about these things.
He just needs to wait patiently until everything is on track, and then continue to push forward the previously agreed cooperation.
……
However, Ning Weidong did not expect this.
Things did not develop in the direction he expected.
On the third day after Ning Weidong returned from Almaty, Kirolev and his son had not been released yet.
Ning Weidong has been waiting patiently these days, and the situation here has also been sent back to China.
The country was also surprised that Ning Weidong persuaded Bakibanov in just two days and reversed the unfavorable situation in the Far East.
Many people were ready to watch the joke, believing that Ning Weidong would definitely fail this time and return in disgrace.
Even Zhao's father and the Wang family felt some unfriendly pressure.
But I didn't expect that Ning Weidong could turn the tables.
But after that, the whole thing seemed to stagnate, and there was no further development for three consecutive days.
Ning Weidong couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He knew that beneath the calm surface there must be fierce gaming and confrontation lurking.
But he didn't expect that Yangovich's resistance would be so resolute.
In the face of pressure from Bakibanov, he refused to release Kiroryov and his son.
……
"Honey, will there be any changes?" Anaiasna became worried again.
Ning Weidong stood by the window, looking at the large amount of white smoke and steam coming out of the heating boiler room outside, and did not respond for a while.
Three days passed without any feedback, and he was actually a little confused.
It is impossible that Bakibanov did not contribute, but the result was still the same, which is very telling.
After a while, Ning Weidong put out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have underestimated the power of that uncle of Yangovich."
According to the current situation, the only reason for this result is that Yangovich's uncle withstood the pressure from Bakibanov.
Ning Weidong didn't know yet that Yangovich's uncle, Babelev, was promoted by little Rokov from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, Ning Weidong still believed in Bakibanov's ability, after all, Chirnyan was there.
The current stalemate is only temporary and there is no need to ask anything.
I believe that facing this situation, Bakibanov is more anxious than anyone else.
He was full of confidence before and promised Ning Weidong that he would settle the matters in the Far East, but now something unexpected has happened and he is left with shame.
So, there is no need to urge him at this time, Bakibanov will do his best.
If there is still no progress in this situation, it means that there is a real problem.
Sure enough, on the fourth day, Ning Weidong received a call from Khoramov, inviting him to sit down with him.
It was the first time we met in that club.
Ning Weidong asked Anaiasna to wait in the car while he went up alone.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the burly man.
Compared with the previous two times, the man's eyes when looking at Ning Weidong obviously no longer had that hostility. It seemed that little Khoramov had already made it clear that he and Ning Weidong were friends, not enemies.
When they reached the second floor, they met little Khoramov and they hugged each other warmly.
After a brief greeting, the two sat down.
Ning Weidong unexpectedly saw a bottle of Flame Vodka on the coffee table in front of him.
Little Khoramov smiled and said, "The vodka you produce tastes pretty good." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of ice with a tongs and poured a glass for Ning Weidong.
Ning Weidong smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip.
Little Khoramov said meaningfully: "Have you heard?" "What?" Ning Weidong knew that the other party must have something to ask him.
As expected, little Khoramov said mysteriously, "I just received a notice this morning that the Ministry of Internal Affairs Security Committee will send a working group..."
Ning Weidong understood instantly that this working group was obviously targeting Yangovich. Faced with Yangovich's ignorance, Bakibanov began to increase the intensity.
Isn’t there a saying that some things don’t weigh much if you don’t weigh them, but once you weigh them they weigh a thousand pounds?
Sending a notice in advance is a naked warning.
However, in Ning Weidong's opinion, Bakibanov's warning would probably be of no use.
Since Yangovic is determined to fight hard, a warning of this level will not scare the other party at all.
Ning Weidong couldn't help but frown.
At this time, if Bakibanov wants to control the situation, he must show his overwhelming momentum.
But now, using this kind of bluffing trick would easily reveal his weakness and make people realize that he didn't have many cards to play at the Far East table.
Ning Weidong couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
I thought the outcome would be settled once Bakibanov was captured, but now it seems it was too early to be happy.
Bakibanov himself was trapped in Almaty and was obviously out of reach in dealing with the things happening here.
What's more, Yangovich's uncle was actually capable of taking on the responsibility and was not afraid of Bakibanov at all.
Ning Weidong picked up the wine glass and thanked little Khoramov.
Little Khoramov smiled and said, "You're right. We are friends. There's no need to be so polite."
Ning Weidong took a sip of wine and said, "Of course, we are friends. By the way, what has Yangovich done these days?"
Ning Weidong gladly accepted the olive branch offered by the other party.
Little Khoramov said, "He didn't do anything. The day after you came back from Central Asia, he was obviously panicked. It is said that he didn't sleep all night and smashed the study room at home into a mess."
At this point, he squinted his eyes teasingly: "By the way, the woman next to Xie Liaosha..."
Ning Weidong said: "Hawkins Karna."
Little Khoramov said, "Yes, that's it. I secretly went to the hospital the next afternoon. Guess why?"
Ning Weidong chuckled and said, "Did he get beaten?"
Little Horamov said slyly, "He was indeed beaten, but that's not the point. The point is that there were three golf balls stuffed inside and they couldn't be taken out."
Ning Weidong was stunned. The world is really surprisingly similar. He didn't expect that Yangovich, who is so gentle and polite, would also like this.
However, when thinking of Hawkins Kara, Ning Weidong didn't feel that there was anything worthy of sympathy.
Originally she felt it was not good to stay with Seryosha, so she chose to betray him, thinking it would be better.
This was her own choice, who can she blame?
Ning Weidong heard some clues from Khoramov: "You said he panicked that day... So he's fine these past two days?"
Little Khoramov said, "It's easy to talk to a smart person. You guessed it right. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, he was fine again. He ate and drank as usual, just like normal."
Ning Weidong and Khoramov are both smart people. This situation must have occurred because Yangovich got some kind of promise and felt reassured.
After taking another sip of wine, Ning Weidong lowered his eyes, becoming more and more aware that even with Bakibanov's presence this time, the final result might not meet previous expectations.
Before this, Ning Weidong felt that with Bakibanov's position and background, as long as he showed up, he would be able to capture the enemy with ease.
It’s not that Bakibanov’s performance was poor, but that he underestimated Yangovich’s will and determination.
Ning Weidong couldn't help but sigh and looked at Khoramov: "It seems that I really underestimated Yangovich. I wonder what Governor Vlasivo has to say?"
Little Khoramov pursed his lips and shook his head: "I'm not saying this is bad. Judging from what my father said, he still seems to be more inclined towards Yangovich. After all... you know, this time he has completely broken up with old Kirolev. If old Kirolev can come out safely..."
Although he didn't finish his words, Ning Weidong understood what the other party meant.
As an ally of old Kirorev, Governor Vlasivo played a very ignominious role this time.
If there was anyone in the Far East who most wanted Kiroryov to be completely destroyed, besides Yangovich, it was Vlasivov.
In contrast, Khoramov, whose position and relationship are more distant, can be more flexible in his attitude.
Ning Weidong nodded. This made sense.
Yangovich and Vlasiv joined forces. The former had a backer in Moscow, and the latter had strength in the Far East. They were indeed qualified to compete with Bakibanov.
……
After leaving the club, Ning Weidong got in the car and went to find Hu Bayi and Wang Ye again, sharing what he had just learned.
Wang Ye frowned and said, "So, even with Bakibanov, there are still variables in this matter?"
Ning Weidong sighed and said, "The main reason is that both old Kirolev and Seryosha were arrested, which put us in a very passive position."
Wang Ye asked, "Are you worried that they will confess their crimes in there?"
Ning Weidong said, "Of course. There have been rumors before. Do you think Yangovich will tolerate them in this situation? Once the case is confirmed, it will be even more difficult to turn the tables."
Wang Ye fell silent.
She agreed with Ning Weidong's opinion, but understanding it did not mean having a solution. At this point, Ning Weidong and the others could only act as spectators.
Wang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Where do you think the key to the next struggle lies?"
Ning Weidong said confidently: "The key lies in the Kirolev father and son. Is it Bakibanov who rescues the people, or is it Yangovich who withstands the pressure?"
Wang Ye asked: "Who do you think will have the last laugh?"
Ning Weidong frowned and pondered, "If I don't consider the position, I prefer Yangovich."
Hearing Ning Weidong's words, Hu Bayi and Wang Ye's faces changed. They didn't expect that Ning Weidong would use other people's ambitions to destroy his own prestige.
Ning Weidong smiled bitterly after he finished speaking: "There is nothing we can do about it. Bakibanov is trapped in Central Asia, and there are not many resources that can be mobilized in the Far East. At first, I thought of borrowing his name, and with Chernenko behind him, Yangovich would directly join. I didn't expect..."
At this point, Ning Weidong slowly shook his head: "If Jankovic insists on holding on, the final result may not be what we hope for. We must prepare the necessary countermeasures in advance."
Hu Bayi and Wang Ye's expressions became more solemn.
……
In the next few days, the entire Far East was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.
Old Kirolev has not been released yet, but Seryosha was released yesterday, which was considered a concession by Yangovich.
But at the same time, the working group of the Ministry of Internal Affairs originally assigned by Bakibanov was stuck in Moscow due to some internal procedural issues and never set off.
In a villa on the outskirts of Khabarovsk.
Seryosha looked haggard, with big dark circles under his eyes and drooping bags under his eyes. He looked several years older.
There were no obvious scars on his body.
But it can be imagined that this pampered young master must have suffered a great loss this time.
