Chapter 261: It's Too Heavy

Chapter 261 It's Too Heavy Hu Bayi and Wang Ye were both surprised to hear Ning Weidong's decision. Just now, Ning Weidong denied the possibility of cooperating with Yangovich. Wang Ye thought that the safest thing to do now was to temporarily return to China. It is obvious that the situation in the Far East has collapsed. It is not rational to continue investing at this time. The safest way is to stop the loss immediately. From Wang Ye's perspective, it is understandable to think this way. Ning Weidong's perspective and position on this matter are not completely consistent with hers. Wang Ye is from the foreign teaching department and plays a supporting role, so the final success or failure of the matter does not have much impact on her. On the contrary, the situation of cooperating with Yangovich is what she must avoid. But Ning Weidong is different. Ning Weidong must be responsible for his decisions and actions. Moreover, the entire plan to operate Far East was proposed by Ning Weidong. If the plan fails, the impact on Ning Weidong will be very huge. The credibility he had worked so hard to build up with Zhao's father and the Wang family would be completely destroyed, along with the leader who spoke for him. This forced Ning Weidong to do his best to get things done, rather than being conservative and seeking to avoid mistakes without achieving any credit.

Wang Ye said, "I object!" He was very determined. "I think it's meaningless to continue to pester Speedlink in the current situation. We should return to China immediately and report the situation to our superiors." Ning Weidong looked at her with a gloomy face, without making any comment. He then looked at Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, what about you?" Hu Bayi's jawline was tightly clenched. He didn't look at Wang Ye and said in a deep voice, "I am your soldier. I obey your orders." Wang Ye pursed her lips and looked at Hu Bayi's profile. She was not angry that he did not agree with her. Instead, she felt a little more admiration for him. A real man should be like this, knowing what to do and what not to do. Ning Weidong smiled. Hu Bayi was indeed Hu Bayi. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Lao Hu!" He turned to look at Wang Ye and said, "Comrade Wang Ye, since we have different opinions, I will not follow the majority rule. Now we will split our forces into two groups. You can choose to return to China and report the situation here. I will go to Almaty with Lao Hu to find Bakibanov." Bakibanov is the secretary of the Security Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Normally, he should be in Moscow, but because of the war in Afkhan, in order to stabilize the rear base, Bakibanov has been temporarily stationed in Central Asia for work since a few months ago. Lyudmila had provided detailed information before, otherwise it would have been difficult for Ning Weidong to contact Bakibanov directly. Wang Ye frowned and thought, weighing Ning Weidong's proposal. This is undoubtedly a very safe method for her. As long as she returns to China and reports the situation, no matter what trouble Ning Weidong causes in the future, it will not affect her. But after thinking about it, Wang Ye said in a deep voice: "In this case, I reserve my opinion and will continue to cooperate with you." Ning Weidong nodded. He was not surprised by Wang Ye's decision. In other words, whether Wang Ye leaves or stays has little impact on him. Not to mention Wang Ye, now that Zhao's father is here, Ning Weidong must also be stubborn and withstand the pressure. The more times like this happen, the more he needs to be strong and resolute. If he retreats when faced with a little difficulty, he will be doomed to achieve nothing for the rest of his life. On the other hand, if Ning Weidong succeeds this time, he will gain a true friend in Sulian. However, things will not get better no matter how determined Ning Weidong is. Just when Ning Weidong returned to Anaiasna's house after discussing with Hu Bayi and Wang Ye, he heard another piece of bad news.

There has been enough bad news in the past two days, but it’s not over yet. "My dear, Sangitolov just passed on the news that Kirolev and his son have pleaded guilty." Anaiasna looked disappointed and depressed. If Kiroryov and his son have given up, what is the point of Ning Weidong running around outside? Ning Weidong frowned. Sangitorov was the secret policeman he met on the train when he went back last time. He had fooled this man with gold and pancakes. Ning Weidong originally planned that if everything went well after coming here, he would consolidate this person's support. Unexpectedly, so many things happened before I even got off the train, so I naturally put the matter of Sangitorov aside. Moreover, without the endorsement of the Kirolev family, Ning Weidong didn't think Sangitolov would still help him. But I didn't expect that this guy suddenly came out at this time. Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Don't pay attention to him. I have my own plans." Regardless of whether Sangitorov’s news is true or false, even if it is true, Ning Weidong will not change his mind. Now that he had made up his mind, he had to go meet Bakibanov. Even if he couldn't rescue Seryosha and his son, if he could get in touch with Bakibanov, with his status as Chernenko's son-in-law, he could completely replace the Kirolev family and become a new political resource. Moreover, Ning Weidong felt that Kirolev and his son would never give in easily. Especially old Kiroryov, at least not so fast. Sangitov's news was more likely to be a smokescreen released by Yangovich to put pressure on Ning Weidong. But you have thousands of tricks, and I have certain rules. Ning Weidong doesn't care about anything else. Now he has only one thing in mind, that is, in the next few years, Qiernian will be able to reach the top. Against this backdrop, these people in the Far East, including Yangovich's uncle, are nothing more than small fry, and this is the information advantage. Even so, at this moment, the opponent's strength is unquestionable. And Yangovich continues to demonstrate this strength. After the rumor that Kirolev and his son pleaded guilty, Ning Weidong soon received new news that the Birobidzhan Tractor Factory had confirmed the candidate for the new director. Once this candidate is decided, it means that old Kirolev's position will be squeezed out. Even if it is finally proven that old Kirolev is not at fault, it will be impossible for him to return to his original position at the tractor factory when he is released. At most, they will be given a nominal idle position, and the resources they originally controlled will be completely divided up. This was also a warning, allowing those who originally belonged to the Kirolev faction and were still on the sidelines to completely give up their illusions. The Kirolev family was really finished this time. Ning Weidong could even imagine the scene of monkeys scattering when the tree falls. Many of those who originally surrounded Seryosha would probably rush to ask others to help them and send a letter of allegiance to Yangovich. It was under such circumstances that Ning Weidong secretly boarded a plane to Almaty at night. This time Ning Weidong went alone and did not bring anyone with him.

Originally he wanted to take Hu Bayi with him, but after careful consideration he decided to let Hu Bayi and Wang Ye continue to live in the original hotel, and Anaiasna remained at home to cover for him. Ning Weidong sat in the cabin, looking through the narrow window as the engine on the wing outside began to accelerate. The An-12 transport plane taxied slowly, and as it accelerated, the wings began to vibrate. Because the sound insulation was not very good, Ning Weidong could even hear the "creaking" sound of metal twisting. This gave him the illusion that the wings of the plane could break off at any time. Of course, it is actually impossible to break. The military transport aircraft of Sulian has always been known for its sturdiness and durability. It at least looks a bit dangerous, but in reality... who knows~ It was Ning Weidong’s first time to take this kind of plane, and his heart beat faster. But he had no choice, this was the fastest way to reach Almaty. …… Just as Ning Weidong took off on his plane, in the tower of the nearby military airport, little Khoramov held the phone and said, "Hey, he's gone." A surprising voice came from the other end of the line: "You did very well, little Sergey." Little Khoramov was stunned, and subconsciously stood up straight: "Hello, Your Excellency the Governor." The call was originally intended for his father, but unexpectedly Governor Vlashvo was also there and answered the call. In the distance, in the city of Khabarovsk, a room of the Zhengfu Club. Governor Vlasivo and old Khoramov were sitting together playing chess. Vlasivo hung up the phone nonchalantly, but his eyes never left the chessboard in front of him. He reached out, picked up the soldier and took a step forward. The old Khoramov on the opposite side pushed his glasses, but was a little distracted: "Old buddy, do you think that Chinese guy can convince Bakibanov this time?" "It's your turn~" Vlasivo looked at the chessboard. "It's hard to say. Bakibanov is not unaware of the situation here, but he has not taken any action. This is already a statement. It will be difficult to impress the Chinese unless he shows some real stuff." Old Khoramov took a step casually and said, "If he fails, we...we just let that kid do whatever he wants in Birobidzhan?" This 'kid' obviously refers to Jankovic. Although Yangovich rose to prominence by relying on his uncle's power, how could old guys like Vlasivo and old Khoramov possibly obey him? This is also the reason why Yangovich must kill the chicken to scare the monkey. He must demonstrate strong deterrence. But being too strong has its pros and cons. Although people like Governor Vlasivsky have openly distanced themselves from the Kirolev family, they will not hesitate to trip up Yangovich if given the chance. Just like this time, Ning Weidong decided to find Bakibanov and ask Khoramov for help, and in just over two hours, a plane was arranged. Of course, this plane was not arranged for Ning Weidong alone. It was originally scheduled to take off from Birobidzhan and fly to Central Asia, but an extra seat was added for him on the plane. Jankovic was completely kept in the dark about this. In less than six hours, Ning Weidong will appear in Central Asia, more than 4,000 kilometers away. ……

Almaty, the capital of the Kazakh Socialist Republic of Kazakhstan. It was almost ten o'clock when the plane arrived here. Ning Weidong got off the plane and looked at this completely unfamiliar place. He looked out of place because everyone around him was wearing the uniform of the Speed ​​Alliance Army. After tidying up his clothes a little, Ning Weidong walked towards the dispatch duty room of the military airport. On the way, they met two airport staff members, who looked at Ning Weidong curiously. In Almaty, Ning Weidong's appearance and hair color are not too out of place, as there are quite a few Mongolians here. It was not until they were almost at the duty room that a patrol team came over from the side and someone immediately shouted, "Stop, who are you?" Ning Weidong stopped and said with a smile: "Hello, comrade." As they were talking, the patrol team came over, and the captain in the lead looked at Ning Weidong warily: "What do you do?" Ning Weidong was not panicking. He had already thought it through along the way: "I just came from Birobidzhan to see Comrade Bakibanov, the secretary of the Security Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." When the patrol officer heard this, his expression changed slightly. There are many big shots in Almaty, and he didn't know who Bakibanov was, but the title was too scary. What is the concept of Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Security Committee? Don't think that the word "secretary" means a position that serves people. The position of secretary has always been a very special position, from Speed ​​Union to the later Goose Country, especially when it comes to security agencies. Some are similar to some deputy group leaders in China. The captain was quite knowledgeable, but he did not let his guard down: "Sorry, please show me your ID." Ning Weidong didn't have any ID, but he didn't panic. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid that won't work, but I can call Comrade Bakibanov's secretary and you can communicate directly." When the captain heard this, he believed it about 70% and said yes. Letting the others wait where they were, the captain personally took Ning Weidong to the duty dispatch room in front. Communicated with the person in charge inside. He was a middle-aged major. After understanding the situation, he looked at Ning Weidong and pointed at the phone, thinking that it was better to keep out of trouble. The main reason is that we can't afford to offend Bakibanov. Ning Weidong took out the phone number Lyudmila gave him and dialed it. Although it was already past ten o'clock, Lyudmila said that the phone could be reached 24 hours a day. Sure enough, after just a few rings, the phone was picked up. Ning Weidong immediately said, "Hello, my name is Ning Weidong. I am currently at the Almaty Airport. Comrade Kirolev of the Khabarovsk Tractor Factory has entrusted me to report some important situations to Comrade Bakibanov." There was silence on the other side of the phone.

Lyudmila had called Bakibanov more than once before, but was blocked by the secretary each time. Although Bakibanov has more than one secretary, the person answering the phone must know something about the situation. I didn't expect that calling didn't work, so someone came directly. He did not dare to neglect it and responded: "Hello comrade, I will report your situation to the leader as soon as possible tomorrow morning." Ning Weidong curled his lips. Of course he didn't believe his nonsense. Even Lyudmila's call didn't work, let alone him, a stranger who had nothing to do with him. He made this call not to contact the other party, but to ask the other party to confirm his identity with the Air Force airport. Ning Weidong said: "Okay, but I just arrived at the Air Force Airport by plane. Please send a car to pick me up and arrange my accommodation." Ning Weidong said it as a matter of course, as if it should be so. The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment and almost didn't answer: "Uh, OK, please wait a moment, I'll send a car over." Ning Weidong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had just made this request but it was a waste of time. Before he came, he got a letter of introduction from the Far Eastern Provincial Government through Khoramov Jr. With the letter of introduction, he can leave the airport smoothly and stay in a hostel or hotel normally. But Ning Weidong didn't want to waste time, he had to make use of all resources. If I leave the military airport and call Bakibanov again, I'm afraid even his secretary may not respond. After all, there is the precedent of Lyudmila. But it’s a different story inside a military airport. The other party will definitely consider the possible negative impact. Ning Weidong made a phone call here and revealed his background, which was equivalent to exposing the matter. As Bakibanov's secretary, in order to eliminate possible unfavorable factors in advance, he would definitely not leave Ning Weidong here. It was just as Ning Weidong expected. After the call, a Volga sedan came to pick him up in less than half an hour. Ning Weidong sat in the back seat and didn't talk to the driver. It wasn't that he didn't want to ask questions, but the driver didn't respond at all. He didn't even say "um", as if he was a mute. The car was driving in the night. Compared to Blagoveshchensk, Almaty is similar. The city is probably larger and has a larger population. But this has nothing to do with Ning Weidong. His only purpose of coming here is to meet Bakibanov. The first step went smoothly, at least we were able to contact Bakibanov's secretary directly at the air force airport. After a while, the car drove into a guesthouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs located in the suburbs. Although the architectural style is different, Ning Weidong guessed as soon as he came in that this place is the same as Seryosha's guesthouse.

After getting out of the car, the driver drove away without saying a word. Ning Weidong walked into the main building of the guesthouse carrying a small suitcase. There were two young and beautiful girls standing behind the front desk. When they saw Ning Weidong coming in, one of them immediately asked, "Excuse me, are you Comrade Ning Weidong from the Far East?" Ning Weidong stepped forward and nodded: "Hello, comrade." The girl at the front desk was already prepared and took out a registration form: "Please sign here, this is the room key..." After a long introduction, a male concierge came and took Ning Weidong to the room on the third floor. It was a suite, which showed that Bakibanov's secretary had no intention of neglecting him. …… At the same time, in a castle-like villa from the Tsarist era in the city. The man, who was angular and resolute, about the same age as old Kirorev, was wearing a long coral fleece pajamas, holding a cigar in his mouth, and looking at the flames dancing in the fireplace. It was Bakibanov. At this time, a young man in his early thirties wearing a Lenin suit came in from outside: "Report~" Bakibanov looked a little absent-minded, and turned his head to look: "You are here~" Then he bent down to pick up a piece of wood and put it in the fireplace: "Has the Chinese been settled?" The young man explained the details. Bakibanov nodded. "This guy is quite interesting. He actually came to me for that old guy Kirolev." The young man bowed slightly but did not respond. After following Bakibanov for two years, he knew very well that this was not the time for him to express his opinion. Bakibanov continued, "Since you are here, go meet him early tomorrow morning and see what he has to say." The young man responded, and Bakibanov waved his hand to let him leave, then looked back at the flames, wondering what he was thinking. …… On the other side, Ning Weidong took a shower in his room in the guesthouse and fell asleep. Although time was urgent, there was no need to rush it this evening. Moreover, the situation when he arrived in Almaty was better than he had expected. At least I was able to contact Bakibanov's secretary directly at the Air Force Airport, and the other party sent a car to arrange accommodation. These are all good signs. At least it shows that Bakibanov still cares about Kiroryov's personal connections, which means that there is still room for negotiation. Otherwise, Ning Weidong might not even have the chance to meet him. …… The other end is far away in the capital. Wang Ye reported back the situation in the Far East yesterday. This news immediately attracted a lot of attention, some people were worried while others were gloating. "Dad, that bastard Ning Weidong is in trouble this time!" Wang Yu excitedly looked at his father who had just returned from outside.

Wang Guoqiang frowned, smelling of alcohol. When building relationships and connections, one cannot avoid eating and drinking. Some things are difficult to discuss in the office, but are much easier to discuss over a dinner table. "What's wrong?" Wang Guoqiang sat down on the sofa and unbuttoned his collar. "Old Wang, you've drunk too much again~" At this time, Wang Guoqiang's lover came out from the inner room, frowned and complained: "If you keep drinking like this, you will drink yourself to death sooner or later." Wang Guoqiang didn't care: "Make me a pot of tea to sober me up. You think I want to drink~ I'm asking for help, what can I do if I don't drink?" "From what you said, I can't get things done without drinking? Why don't I believe it?" Wang Guoqiang's wife disagreed. She quickly brewed tea and put it on the coffee table. Wang Guoqiang smiled bitterly: "Maybe it worked before, but now..." Wang Guoqiang's wife sighed: "What on earth is going on?" Wang Guoqiang waved his hand: "Whatever happens, it's not something our family can control. Don't worry, after this is over, I will be transferred to Shanghai and I will stop drinking." "You can fool me. You've said several times that you don't want to drink?" Wang Guoqiang's wife disagreed. Wang Guoqiang was embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, saying to his daughter, "By the way, what did you say just now about bad luck?" Wang Yu hurriedly said: "It's Ning Weidong..." Wang Guoqiang raised his eyebrows: "He's not going to Sulian anymore? What's wrong?" Wang Yu gloated: "I just found out after talking to Sister Wan Ning on the phone this afternoon that he had an accident at Sulian..." After a lot of blah blah, Wang Yu explained the situation again. Wang Guoqiang couldn't help but frown and said, "This is not good." Wang Yu said: "Why is it bad? I think he deserves it. Look how crazy he is." Wang Guoqiang glared at his daughter and said, "What do you know? Just know about this, but don't spread it around. It will have a bad influence, okay?" Wang Yu was not convinced, but she did not dare to say anything back. She was originally very happy. Seeing Ning Weidong was about to get into trouble, she wanted to make her father happy too. But she got rejected: "I'm going back to my room to sleep." Seeing his daughter running away, Wang Guoqiang couldn't help but sigh. In fact, in his opinion, it is a good idea for Ning Weidong to set his sights on Speedlink, as it can greatly divert the energy and resources of the Zhao and Wang families. Whether he stays at the Red Star Factory or goes south to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, he will have more freedom. On the contrary, Ning Weidong suffered a setback in Speed ​​Union, and I am afraid there will be some twists and turns... At this moment, as the news spread back to the capital, everyone who had anything to do with Ning Weidong felt nervous. On the contrary, the person involved, Ning Weidong, had a good night's sleep in Almaty. I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. I called the waiter and asked him to deliver the meal. After I had eaten and drunk my fill, I looked at the time and it was already past eight o'clock. Ning Weidong simply picked up the phone and dialed the same number from yesterday.

The secretary answered the phone again: "Hello, comrade~" Ning Weidong said politely: "When is Comrade Bakibanov available? I have a very important situation to report to him. Please convey it to him." After saying this, Ning Weidong hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to say more. I wanted to ask what was going on on the other end of the phone, but all I heard was a dead tone. But he couldn't just leave Ning Weidong there, so last night Bakibanov ordered him to go and check on him early in the morning. Half an hour later, the secretary arrived at the guesthouse where Ning Weidong was staying. "Comrade Ning, my name is Belikov, and I'm Comrade Bakibanov's secretary." Belikov had a meticulous 3:7 split hair and dark brown hair waxed up, and at first glance he looked like an elite intellectual. The lips are a little thin and light in color, giving people a mean and sharp impression. Ning Weidong smiled and stretched out his hand: "Comrade Belikov, hello, please come in~" The two men shook hands, Ning Weidong stepped aside, Belikov strode into the living room of the suite, and turned to look at Ning Weidong. Ning Weidong followed behind and gestured to the sofa: "Please sit down." "Thank you~" Belikov sat down on the side seat and waited for Ning Weidong to sit down before saying, "Comrade Bakibanov is busy with work. I am his plenipotentiary representative. You can tell me what you want to say." Ning Weidong was well prepared. How could he meet someone like Bakibanov so easily? So he did not panic when faced with such a situation, and said with a smile: "Comrade Bakibanov is very busy, and it is very considerate of me to send you to see me." Belikov was slightly surprised. He thought that if he told Ning Weidong that he would not be able to meet Bakibanov, the other party would be disappointed or excited. I didn't expect that he would accept it so calmly. Ning Weidong continued, "Comrade Belikov, as Comrade Bakibanov's confidant, you should know the situation of the Kirolev family in the Far East." Belikov nodded and didn't play it safe, because there was no need to, he was representing Bakibanov. Bakibanov has always been in a dominant position in the relationship with Kiroryov. This time when Kiroryov got into trouble, Bakibanov stood by and watched, and there was no need for him to hide it or put up a pretext. This is the character of people from Sulian. They are really nice to you, with all their heart, and will give you whatever you ask for. But when it comes to turning against you, they will leave no room for you. Ning Weidong sighed and said, "What a pity~" Belikov had a playful expression on his face: "Comrade Ning, please speak frankly. I don't have much time." Then he raised his hand to look at his watch. Ning Weidong saw this, stood up and said, "Sorry, please wait a moment." Belikov didn't know what he meant and began to feel a little impatient. Due to the propaganda tone of the Speed ​​Union over the years, most Speed ​​Union members had a very bad impression of China. Coupled with his inherent arrogance, Belikov didn't take Ning Weidong seriously at all before he came. Until just now, when he saw the real person, he was surprised. The fact that this Chinese guy was so strong and tall made him subconsciously put away some of his contempt. No matter what the Chinese are like, in Belikov's opinion, Ning Weidong is at least a very outstanding individual, tall, strong, handsome and confident. In just a dozen seconds, Ning Weidong took out the small suitcase he brought with him from the bedroom.

Belikov was puzzled and wondered why the man suddenly took out his luggage when he was in the middle of a sentence. Ning Weidong put the box on the coffee table and sighed helplessly: "Comrade Belikov, to be honest, I came here knowing that there was little hope, but Seryosha and I are brothers-like friends. Yesterday, Lyudmila cried and begged me, so I had no choice but to come here anyway." Belikov was a little confused and didn't understand what Ning Weidong meant by these words. Before he could come to his senses, Ning Weidong opened the box, took out two shiny gold bars from it with a bang and placed them on the table. Belikov was stunned. Although he was Bakibanov's secretary, he had only been promoted for two years. Don’t be fooled by the glamorous lives of secretaries around leaders. In fact, their lives are just so-so. When leaders choose secretaries, unless there are special reasons, they will definitely cultivate them as their confidants and will certainly choose those with strong abilities and good character. Therefore, most secretaries of leaders are more self-conscious and self-disciplined before they come to the leaders' side. After becoming a secretary, I have to be even more cautious. Although it is definitely much better than before, I still have to be more careful in everything I do so as not to cause trouble for my boss. Be patient, the real good days are yet to come. As long as you persist for a few years and go out to work, you can become a mother-in-law after many years. By then, you will have transformed yourself from a servant to being served, with real power in your hands and the protection of your superiors. It will be so great. This is the case with Belikov. He was born in an ordinary working-class family and was admitted to university with great difficulty. Don't blame him for being short-sighted. He has really never seen such a thing. Ning Weidong took out two shiny gold bars from the box, and Belikov felt his eyes dazzled. It took a full two seconds to react. "Gold!" During these two seconds, Ning Weidong took out two gold bars from the box and placed them aside. These gold bars were not brought by Ning Weidong from China. This time the situation is different from the last time. The reason I brought gold bars last time was just in case. This time, they thought the road had been paved and everything would be done as long as the first batch of vodka was transported over, but Ning Weidong didn't bring it at all. These gold bars were sent by Lyudmila that day. After confirming that Ning Weidong was coming to see Bakibanov, she immediately brought four gold bars from home and gave them to Ning Weidong, and told Ning Weidong to find a way to save Seryosha no matter what. Ning Weidong could see that Lyudmila no longer had much hope in her heart. The reason why she took out these four gold bars was more to give herself peace of mind. What I meant was, I have asked for help, I have spent money, I have tried my best, and no matter what the result is, she has done her best for Seryosha and the Kirolev family. Even if it wasn't Ning Weidong, if anyone appeared in front of her at this time and said they had a way to save Xie Liaosha, she would give him gold bars, even if she was cheated. Ning Weidong was not greedy for her four gold bars, so he placed all of them in front of Belikov. These gold bars are not the big yellow croaker ones in China, but are made of mules, weighing exactly one pound or two. One bar weighs one kilogram, and four bars weigh four kilograms. The next moment, Belikov stood up suddenly, took a step back, and said warily: "What do you want to do!" Ning Weidong said with a smile: "Comrade Belikov, look at you, you are still anxious." As he said this, he walked over and put his arm around Belikov's shoulders.

If it had been before, Ning Weidong would have been thrown off by Belikov if he had done this, but now he didn't know why he couldn't use his shoulders. He licked his dry lips with his dry tongue, looked at Ning Weidong and then at the four kilograms of gold on the table. That's the magic of gold. Ning Weidong patted his shoulder and said, "I have no other requests. As long as you can let me meet Comrade Bakibanov, these... are all yours." Belikov shuddered, then suddenly came to his senses and blurted out without thinking: "No, this is absolutely not possible!" But his eyes were still on the coffee table, staring at the gold bars. Ning Weidong patiently persuaded: "Comrade Belikov, we are all for the friendship between Comrade Bakibanov and Comrade Kirolev. Think about it, they crawled out of the dead together. Now Comrade Kirolev is in trouble, and Comrade Bakibanov really stood aside for some reasons. What if one day in the future, he thinks of this old comrade and brother, do you think he will regret it? Will he blame you for not advising him at the beginning?" Belikov's face froze. He has followed Bakibanov for two years and has a good understanding of this leader's character. He believes that he is responsible and courageous. But it's better to be safe than sorry, what if Ning Weidong's words really come true~ If he had only said this, the balance in his heart would not have tilted towards Ning Weidong. The problem was that the four golden and yellow weights on the table were too heavy. Belikov pursed his lips and struggled mentally. Ning Weidong didn't say anything. Now it all depended on Belikov's choice. No matter how much he said, it would be useless. After about two minutes, Belikov let out a long breath and shook his head with a serious expression. Ning Weidong's heart skipped a beat. Unexpectedly, Belikov reached out, picked up a gold bar and stuffed it into his brown leather briefcase. The briefcase was quite thick, but he was quite deft and was able to stuff the four gold bars in without the briefcase even looking bulgy. He raised his head and looked at Ning Weidong, as if nothing had happened just now, and raised his hand to push his glasses up politely: "Give me a reason." Ning Weidong cursed in his heart, what the hell is wrong with this, why am I shaking my head to agree to you~ But he had no time to think about it, and immediately lowered his voice and whispered a few words to Belikov. Belikov was startled, his eyes rolling around in his deep sockets, thinking and weighing the options quickly. The fact that he accepted the gold bars just now only meant that he could help to say good things, but it did not mean that he had the ability to change Bakibanov's decision. Therefore, there must be a solid reason to convince Bakibanov to meet Ning Weidong, and even change his previous attitude towards Kiroryov. Otherwise, these four gold bars alone wouldn't be enough to do the job. Fortunately, Ning Weidong was well prepared. After listening to Ning Weidong, Belikov nodded, immediately stood up, picked up his heavy briefcase, said "wait for my call", and strode away. After closing the door, Ning Weidong breathed a sigh of relief, and had taken the second step towards Almaty. In the corridor, Belikov held the briefcase tightly under his armpit, supporting the bottom with his hands. The leather briefcase was of very good quality. It would not leak even if it contained ten kilograms, let alone four kilograms. But he couldn't help but worry. Only when he got downstairs, got into the car and slammed the door did Belikov breathe a sigh of relief.

After waiting for ten seconds, he started the car and rushed back to Bakibanov's office. - Nine thousand today, please vote for me and subscribe! (End of this chapter)
