Chapter 246 The Future Boss is Returning to Beijing?!
Su Yue leaned against the door, watching this scene, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
This man, capable of carrying a rifle and going to the battlefield, was helpless when it came to his own child.
"Try holding Ningning, she's a sweet girl and won't cry," Su Yue suggested with a smile.
Gu Beichen took a deep breath, as if he had received a military order, and carefully bent down, lifting little Gu Ningjing from the cradle in a posture as if holding a bomb.
Little Ningjing stirred in his arms, seemingly sensing the unfamiliar presence. Her little mouth twitched, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Gu Beichen froze completely.
"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to cry!" Zhang Huilan also became nervous.
Su Yue stepped forward, gently took her daughter's little hand, and said softly, "Ningning, this is Daddy."
Perhaps it was the sound of her mother's familiar voice that made Gu Ningjing miraculously quiet down. She even reached out her little hand and grabbed a button on Gu Beichen's chest.
In that instant, Gu Beichen felt his heart being gently grasped by that soft little hand.
The steely aura he carried, brought back from the border, melted away completely at this moment.
Just as the family was enjoying this warm moment, a guard rushed in, stood at attention, and saluted.
"Reporting to the commander! Urgent telegram from the military region headquarters!"
The tenderness on Gu Beichen's face vanished instantly. He carefully handed the child back to Su Yue, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed back into the dignified Commander Gu.
He took the telegram, glanced at it quickly, and then handed it to Gu Zhengfeng.
The telegram was brief: given Gu Beichen's outstanding performance in this secret border operation, for which he had been awarded a special merit, his military rank would be promoted exceptionally, and an official document would be issued soon.
This news is even more explosive than Gu Beichen's return.
Within half a day, the public opinion in the entire military compound had completely changed.
"Have you heard? Regiment Commander Gu has returned with a special merit! He's going to be promoted!"
"My God! So young and already a deputy brigade commander? That's like a rocket launch!"
"More than that! Her father-in-law is from the Huo family, her father-in-law is Commander Gu, and she herself is a hero with outstanding military achievements. That Su Yue is truly the luckiest woman in the world!"
Those who had been gloating over the pharmaceutical and medical equipment factory behind its back, and even harboring ulterior motives, all fell silent overnight.
Are you kidding me? Going to provoke the wife of a future general? Unless you're tired of living.
Inside the study.
Su Yue pushed the letter from the Northwest towards Gu Beichen.
After reading it, Gu Beichen didn't say anything, but just quietly looked at Su Yue.
“I had my uncle investigate,” Su Yue explained her plan to “kill with praise.”
Gu Beichen nodded, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the mahogany table, producing a rhythmic sound.
“This Qin Zheng is no simple man,” he finally said.
“His father didn’t simply lose power back then; he was suppressed by a powerful political enemy using ruthless methods. Lin Wan’er is betting on him, gambling that the faction behind his father can turn the tables.”
Gu Beichen's analysis carried a keen sense of high-level politics that Su Yue lacked.
"This move is extremely risky; if we lose, we'll be doomed. But if we win..."
Gu Beichen paused for a moment.
"She will then gain a powerful backer, a backer who can threaten all of us."
This was Lin Wan'er's true purpose.
She was no longer satisfied with romance; she wanted power, the power to completely crush Su Yue.
"What do you want to do?" Su Yue asked.
“We can’t directly target Qin Zheng.” Gu Beichen shook his head. “Strike the snake at its vital point. Lin Wan’er’s vital point is not Qin Zheng, but her self-righteous cleverness.”
He stood up and walked to the phone.
“I will use my connections in the capital to find out who the political enemy who suppressed the Qin family back then was. Since Lin Wan’er wants to take advantage of this opportunity, let’s make this opportunity blow even stronger.”
Instead of preventing Qin Zheng from being exonerated, it would be better to speed up the process, but Qin Zheng's return should have nothing to do with Lin Wan'er.
To cut off the fuel supply from under the cauldron.
This is the cruelest revenge against Lin Wan'er.
Just then, the guard knocked on the study door again.
"Sir, Madam, there is another letter from the Northwest."
Su Yue and Gu Beichen exchanged a glance.
The second letter.
So fast.
Su Yue opened the envelope. The handwriting on the letter was still delicate, but the humility and repentance from before were gone.
Instead, there was an uncontrollable resentment and madness.
"Su Yue, why did you steal my life?"
"Gu Beichen, that space should have belonged to me! Everything you have now should be mine!"
"You think you can keep me trapped by praising me as a model citizen? You're too naive!"
"Brother Qin will take me back to Beijing soon. When that happens, I will settle this score with you, one by one, with interest!"
This is no longer a test; this is a blatant declaration of war.
She laid her cards on the table.
Gu Beichen took the letter, and after reading it, the atmosphere around him became frighteningly oppressive.
Su Yue smiled.
She took the letter from his hand and folded it slowly and carefully.
"She got anxious."
A truly confident person would not make such boastful claims.
Lin Wan'er's letter precisely exposed her weakness and anxiety.
Su Yue walked to Gu Beichen's side, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his tense jaw.
"Don't be angry, it's not worth it."
She picked up the phone on the table and asked for the encrypted line to her uncle Chen Kai's office.
"Uncle, it's me."
"Increase efforts in the Northwest."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
There was no further explanation, just these four simple words.
Go all out!
You want to be a saint? Well, I'll let you be one to your heart's content!
Su Yue's counterattack came faster and was more fierce than Lin Wan'er had imagined.
Two weeks later, a short documentary film titled "Gobi Red Flower" was shown on a tour of major farms and organizations in Northwest China through official channels.
The protagonist of the film is Lin Wan'er.
In the footage, she wears old clothes covered in patches, always silently dedicating herself to the most arduous tasks.
She shared her rations with her companions, gave her winter coat to the elderly, and carried a sick child to the clinic in the wind and snow...
She was portrayed as a flawless, selfless "living Lei Feng".
Lin Wan'er became a sensation.
Every day, people from all directions, carrying letters of introduction, walk dozens of miles to the Hongqi Production Team, just to "learn from Comrade Lin Wan'er's advanced deeds."
Her dormitory entrance was always crowded with people from morning till night.
Her every move was under the watchful eyes of countless people.
She couldn't have any complaints, nor could she show the slightest sign of fatigue.
She had to maintain that gentle, kind, and selfless smile at all times.
She was like a wind-up puppet, forced to constantly perform the act of "sacrifice".
The physical exhaustion was secondary; the mental torment nearly drove her to the brink of collapse.
She never had the chance to meet Qin Zheng in private again.
Her meticulously planned "confidante" script was completely overwhelmed by the overwhelming praise before it even had a chance to be staged.
She finally understood what Su Yue was trying to do.
This wicked woman! She's determined to crucify herself completely on the cross of morality!
She was caught in the vast ocean of people's war.
Just when Lin Wan'er was being tormented to the point of collapse and was about to give up all her plans.
One afternoon, an incredibly excited voice suddenly came over the production team's loudspeaker.
"Breaking news! Breaking news!"
"An urgent telegram has arrived from Beijing! It specifically requests Comrade Qin Zheng to return to Beijing immediately!"
