The four people locked inside seemed to have disregarded life and death; no matter how they were interrogated, they refused to speak, and one of the women even bit off her own tongue on the spot.
Yan Aiguo had no choice but to have the woman taken to the hospital. Because of this incident, Yan Aiguo was also called out and did not return until three days later. The first thing he said when he returned was to release the woman.
His brother was furious. He demanded a reason, but they just released him without explanation. Otherwise, all their actions during this time would have become a huge joke.
Yan Aiguo, his eyes red, said, "If you want me to go to solitary confinement and get punished, then don't release me."
The group exchanged silent glances, then saluted in unison before turning and leaving. The four men were released just like that, and as soon as they stepped outside, they were picked up by others.
The remaining person was filled with remorse upon receiving the news, but there's no going back. What's done is done, and they had to bear the consequences themselves.
On the day the investment promotion began, Hu Dazhuang also went to the site and saw that, just as Hu Lijing had said, the site was in complete chaos, and Yan Xiaonan's reputation was completely ruined. He even saw Bei Nan and Tie Ge fighting each other on the site.
Hu Dazhuang was extremely pleased with himself. He could almost picture the big shot from the Shanghai military region coming to his house, presenting a valuable betrothal gift, and setting a date for his two children's wedding.
Along with Hu Lijing, the epaulets on his shoulders also benefited, changing from one star to two stars. These fantasies made him so impatient that he had no desire to continue reading and hurriedly ran to Yan Daqiang's office.
Hu Dazhuang sat in Yan Daqiang's office, outwardly showing concern and warmth, but in reality, he was smug and domineering. His daughter's plan was brilliant; it not only ruined Yan Xiaonan's reputation but also disrupted the investment promotion event. It was so damn satisfying!
"Daqiang, they say fortunes change, and what goes around comes around. I, Hu Dazhuang, have finally made it big! Come and celebrate with me then!" Hu Dazhuang took out a pack of special-supply cigarettes and popped one into his mouth.
Yan Daqiang's eyes flickered. Hu Dazhuang's inexplicable demonstration today might indicate a problem with Nannan's investment attraction efforts. His decades of military service told him that things had changed.
Without saying a word, he stood up, put on his hat, and prepared to go out to see what had happened. Baomin knocked on the door and came in, whispering a few words in his ear.
Yan Daqiang's expression shifted from shock to calm. He knew that as long as Nan Nan was there, any problem could be solved.
Yan Daqiang calmly took off his hat and hung it up, then asked Baomin to make him and Hu Dazhuang a cup of tea.
"Deputy General Hu, I, Yan, would like to offer you tea instead of wine today to congratulate you on achieving your goals and advancing to the next level."
Hu Dazhuang's eyes gleamed with smugness. He had clearly seen the change in Yan Daqiang's expression just now. "You didn't expect that, did you? You were worried, but you're still pretending that nothing has happened."
"Of course, of course, thank you for your kind words." Hu Dazhuang picked up the cup, took a sip, and nodded in satisfaction. There was nothing special about the other things Yan Daqiang had, but the tea was really good.
"When Deputy General Hu gets promoted and makes a fortune, don't forget about nobody like me," Yan Daqiang said again, then silently drank his tea. He was also very disappointed; for him, the path to advancement was basically closed.
Looking at Yan Daqiang's dejected face, Hu Dazhuang suddenly remembered that he had also been hoping and waiting, only to be met with loneliness. Fortunately, thanks to Hu Lijing, he was finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
People should be active when necessary, regardless of ethics and morality; whatever is in the basket is good.
Putting down his cup, Hu Dazhuang lost all interest in reminiscing with Yan Daqiang. He remembered Hu Lijing's words, which told him to keep his composure; it wasn't time to be smug yet.
Yes, how could I lose my composure? Hu Dazhuang shook his huge head, cursing himself for being so stupid. He hoped he wouldn't cause trouble for Hu Lijing, since Yan Daqiang was no pushover either.
Seeing Hu Dazhuang leave, Yan Daqiang also hurried out, and Baomin quickly followed. The two got into the car and went straight to the eight-courtyard house.
"What did 'protect the people' and 'protect the country' mean?" Yan Daqiang asked urgently.
"General Yan, Bao Guo said that Yan Xiaonan has handed over the main suspect to Brother Aiguo, and all the media reporters have been taken into custody by Yan Xiaonan's legal team." Bao Min hurriedly reported the details to Yan Daqiang.
Because Hu Dazhuang was there, Baomin only said a few words earlier, but now he has finally told the whole story.
Yan Daqiang gritted his teeth. This Hu Dazhuang had come to him to show off his power as soon as the incident happened. Yan Daqiang would never believe that this was not his doing.
After telling Ye Ren about this, Yan Daqiang felt inexplicably relieved. With Nan Nan in the Yan family and Ye Ren in the Ye family, he believed that things would soon be resolved.
Hu Dazhuang never imagined that his impatience would give Yan Daqiang a handle to use against him. Ye Ren then amplified this handle to put pressure on his superiors, and Yan Aiguo also seized this handle to completely expose Hu Lijing's people and record crucial confessions.
One dark and stormy night, the door to Hu Dazhuang's house was knocked on, and Hu Dazhuang and Hu Lijing were quickly taken away, leaving Hu Dazhuang's wife trembling with fear.
After waiting for a long, long time, Hu Dazhuang's wife finally remembered that she should call her youngest daughter, Hu Lisha. This brat went to work for some foreign company after graduating from university and went directly to another province. Except for coming back for two days during the Spring Festival, she was never home.
The phone rang for a long, long time without being answered. It was only then that Hu Dazhuang's wife realized it was the middle of the night, and there was no one in the office who would answer the phone.
She could only patiently wait until nine o'clock the next morning. She remembered that Hu Lisha had told her that their working hours were from nine o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the evening.
Hu Lisha had just sat down at her work station when the phone rang. She answered it without thinking and heard her mother's anxious voice in her ear.
It took Hu Lisha a while to understand what her mother meant. It turned out that her father and sister had been taken away last night. Her mother didn't know what had happened, but it must be related to Hu Lijing's return home.
Hu Lisha chuckled coldly. She had known all along that Hu Lijing was good for nothing except getting herself into trouble with her father, mother, and herself. Look, she got tricked.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll go find out what happened. Don't go out unless you have to, and don't talk to anyone if you do go out."
