With Chen Feng's mobile number, Shen Mingchen immediately called him.
"You're Chen Feng, right?" Shen Mingchen asked directly.
"I am Chen Feng, who are you?" Chen Feng asked intentionally.
The mobile number showed it was from Jiangcheng, so it must be the boss of Mingchen Chemical Plant.
"I am Shen Mingchen, the boss of Mingchen Chemical Plant. You should know why I'm looking for you," Shen Mingchen continued to be direct.
"You are the big boss of Jiangcheng, and I am a small driver from Mingshan Town. We mind our own business. I really don't know why you suddenly called me," Chen Feng continued to play dumb.
Chen Dan had already rushed back to the Jiangcheng Daily newspaper office to prepare tomorrow's front-page headline overnight.
Chen Feng had also helped come up with the front-page headline.
"Chemical Plant's Cruelty, Provincial Drinking Water Project Filled with Carcinogenic Toxins!"
"Chen Feng, I'm not wasting any more words with you. As long as you send that reporter to Mingchen Chemical Company, I'll give you as much money as you want."
"Mr. Shen, how much can you offer?" Chen Feng continued to deliberately stall for time.
"One million."
"Isn't one million too little? Mr. Shen, think carefully. Once Chen Dan delivers that evidence to the Jiangcheng Daily, your life will probably be over," Chen Feng said with a smile, word by word.
"If one million isn't enough, then five million. Hurry up and send Chen Dan to Mingchen Chemical Plant," Shen Mingchen said, suppressing his anger.
How dare a mere driver act so arrogant? His monthly salary was only a few thousand yuan, and he still thought one million was too little.
"Mr. Shen, to be honest, I really want to earn five million. I can't earn that much in several lifetimes. However, I won't have the chance to earn this money." Chen Feng said with a chuckle.
"What do you mean?" A bad feeling spread through Shen Mingchen's entire body.
"Mr. Shen, while we were talking, Chen Dan has already entered the Jiangcheng Daily newspaper office."
"You..." Shen Mingchen was so angry he couldn't speak.
After a moment, Shen Mingchen hung up the phone. Now was not the time to be angry at the driver Chen Feng; he had to find a way to escape.
The pollution of the Wuli River Reservoir involved not Jiangcheng, but the provincial capital. If the provincial capital pursued accountability, he would surely be finished! He had to flee overnight to save his life!
"Chen Feng, are you crazy?" Cheng Lu, who was beside him, became scared when she saw Shen Mingchen hang up the phone.
"What's wrong? Miss Cheng," Chen Feng asked with a smile, not flustered.
"You shouldn't have provoked Shen Mingchen. Shen Mingchen is a cornered beast right now. Aren't you afraid he'll kill you too?" Cheng Lu asked with a look of concern.
"There's no need to worry at all."
"Why?"
"Think about it. What's the most important thing Shen Mingchen needs to do next? Is it to seek revenge on me, or to find a way to escape?" Chen Feng replied with a smile.
"That's true. At a critical moment, Shen Mingchen shouldn't be so stupid as to seek revenge on you instead of escaping. Oh no, Shen Mingchen is going to escape..."
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, Shen Mingchen is going to escape tonight."
"So soon? What do we do?" Cheng Lu asked anxiously. Shen Mingchen's crimes were heinous; he must pay the legal price and absolutely cannot be allowed to get away with it.
"At this time, it depends on your connections in Jiangcheng," Chen Feng said directly.
"You mean, you want me to call acquaintances and have Shen Mingchen arrested in advance?" Cheng Lu asked tentatively.
"There is no other way besides this," Chen Feng replied seriously.
"Alright, I'll call now, but you need to get out of the car," Cheng Lu said softly.
"We are colleagues and friends. Do you need to hide this call from me?" Chen Feng asked Cheng Lu intentionally.
"A girl has her secrets that men shouldn't know. Hurry up and get out. If we delay, Shen Mingchen will escape," Cheng Lu said, avoiding the main issue. The reason she wanted Chen Feng to get out was to prevent him from knowing that Cheng Liren was the top official in Jiangcheng, her father.
Chen Feng got out of the car with a smile. Cheng Lu's attempt to cover up was making it more obvious. If Cheng Lu's family were ordinary, there would be no need for such secrecy. However, there was no need to expose it. This ambiguous state with Cheng Lu was quite good.
"Dad, quickly, quickly tell someone to arrest Shen Mingchen, the boss of Mingchen Chemical." Once the phone was connected, Cheng Lu said directly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Have you been drinking? Xiao Lu," Cheng Liren asked tentatively.
"Dad, you're making me anxious to death. This is an emergency, how could I have the mood to drink? The situation is like this, Mingchen Chemical has a black-hearted factory near Wuli River Village in Mingshan Town. They are discharging large amounts of carcinogenic toxins into the Wuli River Reservoir. Such a heinous criminal absolutely cannot be allowed to escape." Cheng Lu said urgently.
"Shen Mingchen is a famous entrepreneur in Jiangcheng. How did he become a wicked person? Who told you this?" Cheng Liren didn't immediately react.
"I heard it from Chen Dan, a reporter from the Jiangcheng Daily. Chen Feng can also testify."
"Chen Dan, Chen Feng? Xiao Lu, aren't you overestimating the abilities of reporters and drivers? Even if Shen Mingchen is a hypocrite, can Chen Feng and the two of them expose him?" Cheng Liren asked Cheng Lu, full of disbelief.
"Dad, I can disbelieve Chen Dan, and I can disbelieve you, but I must believe Chen Feng! If he says Shen Mingchen makes money unscrupulously, then Shen Mingchen must make money unscrupulously." Cheng Lu shouted loudly.
"Wake up. You're praising a driver as if he's the best thing under the heavens." Cheng Liren was amused and exasperated. There were so many talented young men in Jiangcheng and the provincial capital, yet his daughter Cheng Lu didn't admire them but a mere driver. Was this still a graduate from Capital University?
"Dad, just tell me if you're going to arrest him or not?" Cheng Lu pressed Cheng Liren directly.
"Xiao Lu, don't mess around. Shen Mingchen is a famous entrepreneur in Jiangcheng. Arresting someone without evidence is easy to do but difficult to release," Cheng Liren explained to Cheng Lu.
"Fine, Dad, since you're unwilling to send anyone to arrest him, I'll go arrest him myself. In any case, I absolutely cannot stand by and watch this heinous villain escape." Cheng Lu intentionally provoked Cheng Liren.
"Nonsense."
"Dad, I'm not messing around, I'm serious. Alright, I'm hanging up now." Cheng Lu said with a resolute tone.
"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you. I'll call down now and have them arrest Shen Mingchen overnight. However, you need to be prepared. Tomorrow, your father will most likely be invited for a chat by the provincial authorities." Cheng Liren said, amused and exasperated.
"Dad, don't worry, I'm your daughter, I wouldn't harm you. Tomorrow, not only will you not be invited for a chat by the provincial authorities, but you will also be commended by them." After speaking, Cheng Lu hung up the phone.
Immediately after hanging up the phone, Cheng Liren made a call to his subordinates.
"Elder Cheng, Shen Mingchen is a famous entrepreneur in Jiangcheng with high prestige. Are we really going to arrest him?" his subordinate asked softly.
"Arrest him!" After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Liren replied decisively. She only had one daughter, and she absolutely could not let anything happen to her. Besides, although this daughter of hers was a bit willful, she had never wrongly accused anyone along the way!
