Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 159 A Hero's Resolute Cut! Old Ge Protects Zhong Xiaoai!

It's quiet at night.

Chen Yang wasn't the only one having trouble sleeping.

Ge Junshan couldn't sleep either, so he sat in his study smoking in silence.

What bothered him wasn't arguing with the Americans.

Instead, it was Zhong Zhengguo, whom he had carefully cultivated and placed high hopes on, who had become corrupt.

When he first received the news, he thought it was Zhong Zhengguo who had been framed.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that Lu Shengye, the director of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission, and Zhang Jingchong, the secretary of the Linjiang Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, had cornered Zhong Zhengguo and Cai Chenggong in the secret meeting room.

Furthermore, not only were contracts signed that afternoon found in Cai Chenggong's bag, but a large amount of cash was also found in his car, and multiple accounts were found to have nearly 100 million yuan in transactions.

Over the years, Zhong Zhengguo has been loyal and capable.

Even at the crucial moment when he was leaving Handong Province and being transferred back to Yanjing, a mishap occurred, causing him to only become the third deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

However, Ge Junshan still has confidence in Zhong Zhengguo, believing that there is still a chance to help him improve, and that it is not impossible for him to replace Lu Shengye and take charge of the Discipline Inspection Commission in the future.

however……

Zhong Zhengguo colluded with Cai Chenggong and took advantage of the education rectification campaign in Linjiang Province to amass wealth.

This bizarre move truly baffled Ge Junshan.

With such a high position, why would they care about a little bit of money?

Did he think he had no hope of promotion and wanted to take the opportunity to make some money to enjoy his retirement?

is this necessary?

I have a decent pension after retirement, and I live in a nursing home with all my food, lodging and medical care covered.

Even if you're greedy for money, you shouldn't have shown up in person!

After so many years of working in the political and legal system, how can you not even have the most basic counter-surveillance awareness?

Now that Lu Shengye and Zhang Jingchong have caught him red-handed, it will be difficult to exonerate him.

of course.

What's even more infuriating is that Lu Shengye and his group really showed no respect.

They even forcibly took Zhong Xiaoai and her husband away that very night.

It is said that the couple had just finished showering, and Hou Liangping had taken more than one pill of the American miracle drug Viagra.

Before they could even have a romantic moment, they were forcibly taken away from their home, making them a laughingstock in the entire neighborhood.

What else could this be but killing someone and destroying their spirit?

ah~

With a sigh, Ge Junshan stubbed out his cigarette.

"Zhong Zhengguo's downfall is like losing one of my hands!"

"Zhao Lichun, Zhao Lichun, you guys are really ruthless!"

Slowly rising, Ge Junshan stood before the map with his hands behind his back.

The country of Long has three major provinces, which are economically prosperous and have a large population.

From north to south, they are Handong, Linjiang, and Dongguang.

Previously, Zhong Zhengguo was in Handong, one of the three major economic provinces, and he was essentially a staunch supporter.

Now that Zhao Lichun is in charge of Handong, and Zhang Jingchong of Linjiang has arrested Zhong Zhengguo, neither of them are his people.

Dongguang Province, as the leading economic province in China, was one of the earliest to open up to the outside world.

Yu Zhenxiong, who is in charge of the province, is also a close associate of General Shen, and cannot be touched at all.

None of the three strongest economic provinces will listen to me.

Sha Ruijin is only the third-in-command in Linjiang Province, and he can't take over for the time being.

Zhao Lichun's cousin, Zhao Anbang, has already become the vice governor of Hanjiang Province, showing rapid progress.

"Damn it, the situation is really worrying!"

Ge Junshan sighed and turned his gaze toward Zhongjiang Province.

"It's been so many years since I've been to Green Vine City. Shall we go for a visit?"

“Zhong Zhengguo has fallen, I need to quickly expand my manpower. It won’t do if I don’t have any capable people under my command!”

Having made up his mind, Ge Junshan turned off the lights and went back to his room to sleep.

The next day, in the morning.

When Ge Junshan woke up, he found it was almost ten o'clock.

I had just gotten out of bed to wash up when my wife, Luo Chunxia, ​​walked in.

"You slept really soundly."

"What's so fragrant? I didn't go to sleep until almost 2 a.m. last night."

“I know, that’s why my brother didn’t wake you up when he came.”

"Luo Shanhe is here?"

Ge Junshan stopped and turned to ask.

"Yes, I arrived at nine o'clock. I didn't have class today, it's Saturday, so I came here specifically to play chess with you."

Luo Chunxia, ​​being a kind and gentle woman, draped a coat over Ge Junshan.

How could Ge Junshan not understand the meaning behind her seemingly ordinary words?

This must have been arranged by Luo Chunxia.

Why would she let her younger brother, Luo Shanhe, come to her to play chess?

It was clearly a way to improve their relationship so that his younger brother could make progress faster.

Although Ge Junshan didn't really like Luo Shanhe.

I felt this guy was too idealistic, not greedy, and impervious to reason.

At least Sha Ruijin can occasionally exercise a little bit of power and act willfully.

For example, if Zhong Zhengguo made a call, he would help Dafeng Factory win several bids in Linjiang Province.

But this Luo Shanhe...

He's too principled.

They can't tolerate even a speck of dust in their eyes.

Upright and incorruptible, with a clear distinction between good and evil.

but……

Because he is the younger brother's brother.

Ge Junshan has helped Luo Shanhe a lot over the years.

He was young when he became the Minister of Organization in Tianhai.

Being in charge of personnel and organizational work in a major municipality directly under the central government naturally entails immense power and a bright future.

"Right now, I need to expand my manpower!"

"It would be quite good if we could win over the upright and incorruptible Luo Shanhe."

"Besides, my brother-in-law is still family! Even if he's too upright, he'll always come in handy sometimes!"

Thinking of this, Ge Junshan smiled and said:

"Then brew us some tea! Brew Longjing!"

After a while.

Ge Junshan went to the small terrace in the living room.

Luo Shanhe had already set up the chess pieces.

"elder brother!"

"Please sit down, why are you being so polite with me?"

Ge Junshan picked up a pastry and took a small bite.

He said while chewing:

"It's rare for me to sleep in on the weekend, so I was lazy. Did I keep you waiting?"

"No, no, this is perfect. I can look at the chessboard and reflect on why I lost five games in a row last time!"

Luo Shanhe, with his refined demeanor, had a very approachable smile.

Ge Junshan believed that he was telling the truth.

Someone like him, a pure idealist with no ulterior motives, can truly be engrossed in the game of chess, with no distractions in his mind.

"The reason you lost to me last time was because you didn't have a long-term vision."

"Playing chess is like fighting a war. You not only need to learn to control the overall situation, but also to plan ahead!"

When he said these words, Ge Junshan felt very uncomfortable.

I'm good at chess, but in the last few months I've been on the defensive and have suffered losses.

"Take one step, think two steps ahead! I need to learn to anticipate my opponent's moves!"

As Luo Shanhe spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.

He couldn't wait to turn the tide.

Just as the two were locked in fierce combat.

The doorbell rings.

Luo Chunxia, ​​who was preparing lunch, quickly went to open the door.

Upon seeing that it was Feng Dehao, the Deputy Director of the Foreign Affairs Department, she immediately smiled and said:

"Old Ge is playing chess with my younger brother, come in quickly!"

"Okay sister-in-law."

Feng Dehao skillfully changed into slippers and quickly made his way to the small balcony in the living room.

"Old Ge! Mountains and rivers!"

"What brings you here today? Did you just have a fight with some Americans?"

Ge Junshan placed a chess piece down and glanced at Feng Dehao.

"We basically reached an agreement last night, but since it was too late, I didn't want to disturb your rest."

"Are Americans willing to issue a public apology?"

"They are willing to apologize, but unwilling to compensate us for the losses caused by the frequent takeoffs and landings of fighter jets to intercept them."

"Getting the arrogant Americans to apologize is already a significant victory; if they're unwilling to pay compensation, then so be it!"

Ge Junshan picked up his teacup and blew on it.

"What about the crew members and their electronic reconnaissance aircraft?"

"The crew members were paid for by them to hire a commercial charter plane to be sent back to the United States, while the electronic reconnaissance aircraft would wait for them to hire two large cargo planes from Russia to send personnel and equipment to the airport, disassemble them into pieces, and then load them onto the planes for transport."

"Cut it into eight pieces? You don't want it anymore?"

"Being attacked by a close-range sonic boom not only shattered all the glass and cracked the skin, but also severely damaged the main structure, making it completely beyond repair. Therefore, it could only be shipped back to the United States for scrap."

Ge Junshan nodded in satisfaction.

"After being bullied by Americans for so many years, we've finally got to hold our heads high this time!"

"Yes!"

Feng Dehao smiled, then let out a soft sigh.

"It's a pity that the person who won glory for the country and made great contributions was Zhao Lichun's eldest son-in-law, Yu Xinwang."

As soon as these words came out.

Ge Junshan immediately looked at Luo Shanhe with a wary gaze.

Seeing that Luo Shanhe seemed not to have heard, and was looking at the chessboard with a furrowed brow in deep thought.

"No matter who did the good deed, they are all commendable."

Ge Junshan gave Feng Dehao a meaningful look.

That reproachful gaze seemed to be a silent rebuke.

How could you say such selfish things in front of Luo Shanhe?

Just because Yu Xinwang is Zhao Lichun's son-in-law, does that mean he doesn't deserve praise and commendation?

The quick-witted Feng Dehao immediately laughed:

"That's right, all the heroes who defend their country are outstanding."

buzzing~

My phone kept vibrating.

Luo Shanhe took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and immediately smiled apologetically:

"Excuse me, I need to take this work call."

"Okay, go ahead!"

Ge Junshan had a kind and approachable smile.

But his smile vanished immediately after Luo Shanhe walked away.

"You're supposed to be a diplomat, how can you speak so tactlessly?"

Feng Dehao asked awkwardly, "Isn't he your brother-in-law? Does that mean I can't do whatever I want with him around?"

"no!"

Ge Junshan glanced at Luo Shanhe, who was on the phone in the distance.

“This kid is even more upright than Sha Ruijin, and has no interest in fighting for power or profit.”

"Look at his appearance and demeanor; in ancient times, he would be a refined gentleman, the kind who remains untainted by the mud!"

"If it weren't for my consideration for his sister, he would never have become the Organization Minister of Tianhai!"

Feng Dehao suddenly realized and said "Oh".

"I see. I'll have to be more careful with my words from now on!"

"Hey, by the way, Mr. Ge, what's wrong with Lao Zhong? How did he get into this accident?"

"Wasn't he supposed to be in Linjiang conducting educational rectification? How did he end up getting himself implicated?"

Ge Junshan became furious at the mere mention of Zhong Zhengguo.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

"Damn it, I don't know if this guy's brain got caught in a door or if he took the wrong medicine."

Feng Dehao leaned forward and asked urgently:

"Shouldn't we try to salvage this situation? His position is very important!"

"How can I salvage this? Could you teach me?"

When speaking to his confidants, Ge Junshan naturally had fewer reservations and spoke frankly.

"He and Cai Chenggong were caught red-handed in the private room."

“Who is Lu Shengye? He wants to bring me down as well, you know that. Do you think he would let Zhong Zhengguo go?”

"Besides, Zhang Jingchong, that old fox, is no pushover. He sent Lu Shengye to Linjiang to carry out educational rectification, intending to reshuffle the Linjiang system."

"As a result, after Zhong Zhengguo went there, he turned the education rectification into an abuse of power for personal gain and a cover-up, which completely failed to achieve the purpose of education rectification. Do you think Zhang Jinchong would let Zhong Zhengguo off easily?"

At this point, Ge Junshan sighed.

"However, he can't be saved, but his daughter Zhong Xiaoai and son-in-law Hou Liangping should still be able to be saved."

"If you confess your guilt and voluntarily return the stolen goods, you can still keep your job even if you receive a major punishment, demotion, or other serious reprimands!"

Feng Dehao could only manage a wry smile.

"But I heard that Hou Liangping is crippled!"

"I don't know what got into this kid, he actually took Viagra, the American miracle drug, and not just one pill."

"As a result, I was forcibly taken to a detention center for investigation last night. I had to receive IV fluids for several hours before the swelling subsided. I guess I'm completely useless now."

puff~

Ge Junshan almost burst out laughing.

It was something that originally made me very angry and upset.

What Feng Dehao said really made it hard to stay calm.

After suppressing a laugh, Ge Junshan casually said:

"Since it's useless and can't be put to use, we can use it to protect that little girl Zhong Xiaoai."

"Anyway, isn't Cai Chenggong, who colluded with Zhong Zhengguo, his childhood friend?"

“Cai Chenggong dragged him into this mess, and he dragged Zhong Zhengguo into it in turn. Zhong Xiaoai has been innocent from beginning to end. The logic is very sound!”

Feng Dehao's eyes lit up.

"This is a good idea!"

"If we protect Zhong Xiaoai, Zhong Zhengguo won't dare to say anything reckless!"

Noticing Luo Shanhe returning, Ge Junshan immediately whispered:

"Go ahead, do as I say!"

"Abandon Hou Liangping, protect Zhong Xiaoai at all costs!"
