Chapter 345 Old Man He, Just Wait!

"You're joking. I did use some tricks, but you know that they didn't work, right?"

Guo Jizu suppressed his tentative thoughts and respectfully admitted what he had done.

At the age of 27, Mr. He already had an army of 300,000 soldiers under his command. He mediated the war in the Central Plains and made outstanding military achievements. His achievements alone were enough to fill an entire drawer, and there must be a page for him in the history books. Although he knew that this beast was old, when it came to real action, the Guo family was no match for him.

Guo Jizu didn't dare to lie about this.

The Guo family is now in important positions, and the two families are related by marriage. He understands that Mr. He's move against Guo Changming is just the beginning.

If you want to handle this with care, you need the consent of the Shen family.

Speaking of this, Guo Changming gets a headache.

Su Nancheng is a fool. He didn't do anything thorough and was still caught by others.

The key point is that the Shen family is so protective of their daughter who married out, that the other party didn't even look at the apology he gave.

He had never seen someone so stubborn and inflexible!

No wonder Mr. Shen and Mr. He are both alumni, but Mr. Shen is always behind Mr. He in his career.

"Little tricks? That's a good word. I heard that you hid a woman in Wenzhen Lane in the east of the city. One of your two sons joined the confidentiality department, and the other one is well educated and became the secretary of the provincial party secretary right after graduation. You, Guo Jizu, really have a successor."

Guo Jizu lowered his head and smiled: "If Ting Feng had not been injured that year, this rank of major general should have been hers. Our son might have been able to rise step by step like He Xu's nephew."

Mr. He sneered: "Why, you want to blame me too?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Guo Jizu said this, but he didn't mean it on his face.

Mr. He threw the Buddhist beads on the table and said, "Since you dare not complain, then go away. I don't like to hear nonsense. Since you have intervened in this matter, don't blame Guo Changming for getting involved. You may have to welcome that woman into the house when I am not around one day, and it will save your son from blocking the way of your other two sons."

"What are you talking about, old man? The Guo family still needs your help. Children are children, and women are women. Ting Feng and I have been married for many years. How could I abandon her? Even if you are not here, don't we have He Xu?"

Mr. He didn't believe what he said.

Men know other men's minds best. A woman who stands in the way of a man's career is just an obstacle in his eyes and will be abandoned no matter how useful she is.

Guo Jizu still felt a little reluctant to part with his son, after all, he was born to his first love.

"Dad, Changming grew up under your care. Why would he target He Xu for no reason? He just thinks He Xu has offended his mother. He is just a foolish filial son. He makes small mistakes but dares not make big ones. Please punish him for Tingfeng's sake."

He sent Guo Changming to the army, and he didn't expect him to make any meritorious service. He just wanted him to come back after a short visit. He never thought that he would go to the front line. Even if he went to the front line, or made some small merit, he could still arrange a good position for him.

Who would have thought that this child had already been completely exploited by He Tingfeng.

Although stupid, he is filial.

He didn't say this casually.

If there were no merits at all, he wouldn't have come to plead for mercy.

"Oh, forget about Guo Changming. I sent the letter reporting him. The Shen family hasn't made any move yet. If you are really sincere, I advise you to visit him as soon as possible, lest that hot-tempered old man finds out about your remaining sons. You will be in big trouble."

Guo Jizu sighed quietly: "Is there really no room for negotiation on this matter?"

"Discuss? How can we discuss? You have also seen the current situation of the Shen family. They have escaped the catastrophe and are experiencing a rise just like your Guo family. How can I have the ability to point fingers at them?"

Mr. He picked up the tea and his gesture of refusal was obvious.

Guo Jizu sneered in his heart: "Ting Feng is the culprit. She has no responsibilities except being dismissed. Letting a junior take the responsibility for her, isn't this too much?"

"Don't make yourself sound so innocent. If Guo Changming has done nothing wrong, there is no point in reporting him. Similarly, if the Guo family hadn't used Ting Feng to attack my granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson, you wouldn't have bowed your head so low and come to beg for mercy."

"Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

The old man's energetic eyes showed disdain: "You want to fight me to the death, will those people in your Guo family agree?"

"Don't think of yourself as a kind father. Guo Changming has some weight in your heart, but he is not as important as those two promising ones, right?"

Guo Jizu's expression changed, and he smiled again: "Dad, you are joking. This incident is indeed our fault, but the Shen family has been silent. I wonder what they are planning?"

Seeing that he finally realized the point, Mr. He picked up the tea and took a sip, looking quite leisurely.

"From what I can find out, Old Man Shen is quite capable. If he hadn't been so stubborn and prone to offending people, he wouldn't have been promoted to the position of deputy general."

Guo Jizu smiled reluctantly: "Although my two children have shady backgrounds, they are both down-to-earth people and have never committed any crime."

Mr. He glanced at him and said meaningfully: "This one is enough."

Guo Jizu's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Does the Shen family really want to be so ruthless?"

She is just a girl from another family. He gave up some benefits to the Shen family, but the Shen family refused to accept it at all?

"They are a family of scholars. Since ancient times, they have produced many talented men and women, but now there are only so many of them. Your woman can be treated as a nobody, but their daughter is the apple of their eye."

Otherwise, why does he like to play with Old Man Shen?

Old man Shen may be a bit harsh in his words, but he is a very righteous person.

He was dissatisfied with Chen Tang at first, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the elders. He Tingfeng and Guo Jizu were very powerful. They almost killed the elders' granddaughter.

On the day of the accident, he could hear Old Man Shen's furious voice from the next room over.

That day he hid behind his eldest son.

Sure enough, Old Man Shen stood at their gate and cursed loudly, and his curses were known to everyone in the military region.

The reason why he did nothing was because he had first arrested Guo Changming and had He Tingfeng removed from his post and investigated.

Mr. He felt that Mr. Shen was giving him face.

I never thought that Mr. Shen already had other ideas in his mind.

Seeing Mr. He's attitude, Guo Jizu had no choice but to ask, "Dad, do you think the gifts I brought are enough to appease Mr. Shen?"

Mr. He took a look and said, "I don't know about that. Zhuzhu, come down and take your uncle to the Shen family."

He Zhu heard her grandfather talking and trotted down.

He called him uncle politely, and then hesitantly said, “I’ll take it? Grandpa Shen won’t be angry, right?”

Mr. He: "That's why I asked you to take it with you."

If the Shen family doesn't say this, the relationship between the two families will become delicate.

Pushing Guo Jizu to the public was also to protect his daughter.

He was sure that when Mr. Shen saw Guo Jizu, all his anger would be directed at him.

He Zhu had no choice but to agree and took Guo Jizu to the Shen family next door.

After knocking on the door of Shen's house, the guard opened the door when he saw it was He Zhu.

I never expected that there was someone following me, and once I opened the door and tried to stop him, it was already too late.

Guo Jizu said loudly inside: "Commander, I'm here to see you."

Mr. Shen immediately rolled his eyes in anger.

Old Man He, just wait!
