Chapter 258 Qin Zheng is here to die again?

Su Yue accepted the file folder, but did not open it immediately.

She raised her head and looked directly at Qin Zheng, her clear eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

"Cooperation is fine. But you must also remember that my bottom line is my family and my career."

"If there is a next time, no matter if you did it on purpose or not, no matter what your reasons are, there will only be one kind of relationship between us."

"That is, the enemy."

When Qin Zheng returned to the General Military Region Hospital, it was already completely dark.

He pushed open the door to the ward, and Lin Wan'er was pacing anxiously back and forth in the room, leaning on her crutches.

Seeing him come in, she immediately went to greet him, her face full of questioning and resentment.

"How did it go? Why did it fail? Vice Minister Li personally intervened, how could she possibly turn the tables!"

Qin Zheng's face showed a timely expression of fatigue and annoyance.

“We all underestimated her.” He slammed his briefcase down on the table. “That woman anticipated that we would tamper with the report. She prepared a perfect fake report in advance and even arranged for an assistant with an exceptional memory to put on a good show of ‘self-correction’ in front of Academician Qian.”

He omitted everything that happened in the study during the day, completely absolving himself of any involvement, and focused only on describing Su Yue's "deep scheming" and "early preparation."

"She not only defused the crisis, but also turned around and accused us of 'malicious framing.' If I hadn't decisively taken all the blame, we would all be in trouble today!"

Lin Wan'er trembled all over upon hearing this.

It's happening again!

That bitch Su Yue, how come she always knows my every plan in advance!

Although she doubted Qin Zheng's words, she had no evidence and could only swallow the blood mixed with her teeth.

No, we can't continue to be so passive.

Conventional business tactics and political maneuvering are completely ineffective against Su Yue.

The plan must be accelerated!

We must get in touch with "Project 781," which will determine the future of our nation, as soon as possible!

That is his true trump card, capable of delivering a fatal blow!

Su Yue returned to the guesthouse and immediately asked for an encrypted phone number to Hainan Island.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Beichen's calm voice came through.

Su Yue did not hide anything and told Qin Zheng about her deal with him that night in detail.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

So long that Su Yue thought the signal had been cut off.

"Use him, but don't trust him."

Gu Beichen finally spoke, but his voice was devoid of emotion.

"The waters in the capital are too deep, and people's hearts are unpredictable. I will arrange for my people to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day. You will know immediately if he makes any unusual moves."

"good."

With her husband's promise, Su Yue's heart was completely at ease.

The next day, some fantastic news arrived.

With Academician Qian's personal support and promotion, Su Yue's application for the "Military Family Special Drug Laboratory" received the green light all the way and successfully passed the final review of all ministries and commissions.

This means that she can establish a top-notch research base entirely of her own in the capital, the heart of the country.

That evening, overjoyed, Old Master Huo once again booked the Beijing Hotel to host a celebration banquet for Su Yue.

The banquet hall was filled with distinguished guests, and the atmosphere was lively.

The two little girls, Gu Nanxing and Chen Xinyue, were so excited that their faces turned red.

Through their own efforts, they finally accomplished something significant for their sister.

Halfway through the banquet, a hotel manager hurried over to Gu Nanxing and whispered a few words to him.

"Director Gu, there's an urgent call for you from the Hainan Military Region."

Gu Nanxing paused for a moment, then followed the manager to the phone booth outside the banquet hall.

A few minutes later.

She walked back dejectedly, her face, which had been flushed with excitement, now deathly pale, devoid of any color.

She stumbled through the crowd and ran to Su Yue's side.

"sister in law……"

Her lips trembled, barely able to utter a complete sound.

Su Yue held her cold arm. "What's wrong? Tell me slowly."

Gu Nanxing took a deep breath, and tears rolled down her cheeks without warning.

"Sis, something terrible has happened! Brother Bei Xiao is in trouble!"

Gu Nanxing rushed to Su Yue's side, utterly distraught. Her face was deathly pale, devoid of any color. She stumbled and staggered through the crowd.

Su Yue supported her cold arm.

"What's wrong? Tell me slowly."

Gu Nanxing took a deep breath, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Brother Bei Xiao has been placed in solitary confinement and may even face a military court-martial!"

Su Yue's heart sank.

Explain clearly.

She pulled Gu Nanxing to a secluded spot, where Gu Nanxing incoherently recounted the contents of the phone call.

In order to improve efficiency, Gu Beixiao bypassed several approval processes and "illegally" conducted a large-scale material transaction with local units while revitalizing the logistics and transportation lines.

Someone seized on this matter and reported it to the military region's discipline inspection commission.

The other party accused him of "speculation and profiteering" and of using military resources for personal gain.

"The person who reported this said that Brother Bei Xiao used military resources for his own benefit!"

Gu Nanxing's voice was trembling with sobs, and her whole body was shaking.

“The Discipline Inspection Commission has now intervened in the investigation. Dad and Brother Beichen are both inconvenient to directly intervene because of their sensitive positions.”

Su Yue's expression turned serious as she listened.

Speculation and profiteering were extremely serious crimes in this era.

It can be a minor issue or a major one; at worst, it's a violation of regulations, and at worst, it's an economic crime.

Where is Chu Jingya?

Su Yue asked.

"Chu Jingya also called, crying uncontrollably, asking me what to do."

Gu Nanxing answered.

Su Yue closed her eyes.

Lin Wan'er's backup plan was actually Gu Beixiao.

This move was ruthless.

She knew Gu Beixiao's personality: he was impatient for quick success and acted impulsively.

They also knew that no matter how deep the Gu and Huo families' roots were in Beijing, they could not easily interfere with the military region's internal disciplinary investigations.

"Go back first and calm down."

Su Yue said to Gu Nanxing.

"I'm going to make a phone call to Chu Jingya."

Gu Nanxing nodded, turned and left, his back view appearing particularly helpless.

Su Yue dialed the phone number for Qiongzhou Island. On the other end of the line, Chu Jingya's sobs could be heard intermittently.

“Cousin, Gu Beixiao... he's not that kind of person.”

Chu Jingya's voice was trembling with sobs.

"I know."

Su Yue's voice was calm, carrying a soothing power.

"Tell me exactly what he did? What were those supplies? And who were they traded to?"

Chu Jingya tried her best to calm herself down and recounted all the details she knew.

Gu Beixiao was working on a project to address the urgent need for imported bearings for upgrading equipment at a pharmaceutical and medical device factory.

He used scrap parts from the logistics department's auto repair shop to exchange for a batch of scarce materials from local units, and then used these materials to exchange for urgently needed imported bearings from the local units.

This batch of bearings greatly saved the country's foreign exchange and was of great significance to military production, but the procedures were indeed incomplete.

"He said it was for the pharmaceutical and medical equipment factory, so that the equipment could be upgraded as soon as possible."

Chu Jingya said, sobbing.

He also said that he was not doing it for personal gain.

Su Yue listened and understood what was going on.
