Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 773 Wang Donghai, clinging to a glimmer of hope!

When Peng Xinnian saw Wang Donghai, he was so frightened by Jia Dongming's reminder that his face turned pale. He quickly confirmed his suspicions: the Wang Donghai in front of him was definitely the culprit who had framed Guo Yongkang and his gang back then in order to shirk responsibility.

Realizing this, Peng Xinnian immediately pressed his advantage, saying, "Director Wang! Guo Yongkang was originally a firefighting hero, but you slandered him as the perpetrator of the fire, causing Guo Liang's mother to die with resentment."

“If you had had a little conscience back then, you would have given the Guo family some compensation and let Guo Liang take over the job at the hardware factory. The Guo family would not have fallen into such a desperate situation. But you realized that your actions had pushed a family into a desperate situation.”

"Originally, Guo Liang had a younger sister to support. Even if he wanted to take revenge on you and seek justice for his father, Guo Yongkang, he would still have some reservations because of Guo Lili."

"As a result, in order to avoid Guo Liang and Guo Yongkang getting angry because you were wronged, you went to the relevant departments to report the situation. You then used your cousin relationship with Wang Dongfang to violate relevant policies and regulations and forcibly sent Guo Liang to the Northwest to work in the countryside, which led to Guo Lili's accidental drowning."

"Guo Lili's death completely ignited the flames of revenge in Guo Liang's heart, and made him no longer have any scruples when he carried out his revenge."

"From the day before yesterday until now, Guo Liang first killed Xue Chaoyang and his wife, and then used the explosives he had prepared in advance to blow up the dormitory building of your hardware factory. His purpose was to make those who gave false testimony back then, as well as their relatives, all die with his parents and sister."

"Guo Liang just didn't expect that the quality of your factory's dormitory buildings would be so good. So the explosion only collapsed half of the dormitory building, allowing some of the people who gave false testimony and framed Guo Yongkang and their families to escape unscathed."

"After Guo Liang blew up your tenement building, he slaughtered Song Guangzhong's entire family the next day. Before Song Guangzhong died, he pushed Song Guangzhong's grandson into a water vat and drowned him alive in front of Song Guangzhong. Then he killed Song Guangzhong and his wife and children in a very cruel way."

“Last night, your cousin Wang Dongfang was kidnapped by Guo Liang on his way home. Guo Liang then drowned Wang Dongfang in a water vat by killing Song Guangzhong’s grandson. Finally, Guo Liang hung Wang Dongfang’s body from a beam. I estimate that if it weren’t for the fact that Wang Dongfang’s courtyard wasn’t just occupied by his family, I would probably have killed Wang Dongfang’s wife and children as well.”

"Director Wang! If Guo Liang were just a hothead blinded by hatred, it would only be a matter of time before we caught him. The problem is that Guo Liang is not a hothead, but a very meticulous young man. According to the information we have so far, after Guo Liang returned to Beijing from the Northwest, he did not immediately take revenge on you. Instead, he spent half a year collecting intelligence and investigating all the people involved and their family members."

"Director Wang! You're the director of the hardware factory. If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who orchestrated the framing of Guo Yongkang back then, weren't you? Since Guo Liang was able to find out who provided the testimony, who instigated those people to commit the deception, and what your relationship with Wang Dongfang is, do you think he might find out that you were involved in what happened back then?" When Wang Donghai learned that Song Guangzhong's entire family had been murdered, he already suspected Guo Liang was responsible. However, in his subconscious, Guo Liang was just a hot-blooded young man with no background, so he didn't take this threat to heart. He simply instructed the hardware factory's security department to secretly search for Guo Liang's whereabouts.

Now that he has learned of Wang Dongfang's murder, Wang Donghai is finally filled with fear. In particular, Peng Xinnian's words remind him of his wife and children. With a look of terror on his face, he pleads with Jia Dongming and Peng Xinnian, "Captain Jia! Captain Peng! Guo Liang is a madman now. Can you send some police officers to protect me and my family?"

Seeing that Wang Donghai was still unwilling to reveal the truth about the fire back then, Jia Dongming became even more convinced of his suspicions. He said to Wang Donghai expressionlessly, "Director Wang! Since Guo Liang was able to spend half a year investigating you, it means that he can also spend half a year finding a secret hiding place for himself. Even if we arrange for people to protect you and your family, we can only protect you for a while, not forever."

After saying this, Jia Dongming turned to Peng Xinnian and said, "Team Leader Peng! Since Director Wang is unwilling to cooperate with our work, there's no point in us staying here any longer. Let's go back first!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Peng Xinnian immediately understood Jia Dongming's intention. He quickly stood up from the sofa and said to Wang Donghai with a serious expression, "Director Wang! We've said what we needed to say, so we'll be leaving now."

If they were merely trying to shirk responsibility and frame Guo Yongkang and Liu Zhijun for causing the warehouse fire, Wang Donghai would certainly have preferred to accept punishment rather than risk his family's death when faced with the threat of death. The problem is that the fire was not an accident, but a deliberate act to cover up some secrets.

Recalling what they had done back then, Wang Donghai knew better than anyone that once their deeds were exposed, he would face certain death. Rather than waiting to die, he might as well take a gamble; perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.

Having made up his mind, and clinging to the last shred of hope, Wang Donghai saw Jia Dongming and Peng Xinnian preparing to leave. He immediately forced a smile and said to them, "Captain Jia! Captain Peng! Let me see you off."

With Wang Donghai seeing them off, Jia Dongming and Peng Xinnian walked out of the hardware factory's office building. As they got into the jeep, Peng Xinnian asked Jia Dongming with a puzzled look, "Captain Jia! I just clearly saw that Wang Haibo's defenses were about to crumble and he was about to confess the truth to us. Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

As Jia Dongming sat in the driver's seat, upon hearing Peng Xinnian's question, he instinctively glanced at Wang Donghai, who was standing in front of the office building. A wise look flashed in his eyes, and he smiled as he reminded Peng Xinnian, "Captain Peng! If I'm not mistaken, there's probably a shocking secret hidden behind the fire back then."
