When I got home, the house was in complete chaos. My two grandsons were either crying for food, wanting to go out and play, or wanting their grandma. They were making a scene as if the house was being torn apart.
Mr. Lu had never felt so mentally exhausted in his life.
I only stayed at home for one day, and I looked like I aged ten years.
The neighbors next door, seeing the mess at the Lu family's house, could only shake their heads.
Who could have imagined that the Lu family, which was the envy of everyone not long ago and controlled most of the machinery factory, would fall to such a state?
When Lin Hong talked to Xu Ningyan about seeing Lu's father, she couldn't help but sigh, "Although I really dislike Lu Kai and the Lu family, looking at Lu Kai's father, he used to be such a powerful person. To put it bluntly, although he was the nominal deputy director of the machinery factory, his word carried more weight than the director's. Everyone had to be subservient to him. It's just a pity that he has a son like Lu Kai..."
Indeed, having a son like Lu Kai is a great blessing!
The two sighed a couple of times, but Lu Kai was truly a spendthrift son, so they didn't say anything more.
Upon returning home, Xu Ningyan saw Gu Zhiyuan and immediately approached him, asking, "Was Lu's mother arrested for bribery a setup?"
Gu Zhiyuan nodded.
Xu Ningyan asked again in a low voice, "Brother Gu, were you involved in this too?"
Gu Zhiyuan just said last time that if the Lu family dares to make a move, they're finished.
Then Lu's mother had an accident; there's obviously something fishy going on here.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't hide anything from Xu Ningyan. After their last cold war, although he wasn't entirely sure what made Xu Ningyan angry, he unconsciously didn't hide it from her when she asked.
Of course, he told himself that since it concerned Xu Ningyan, it wouldn't hurt for her to know a little.
Having convinced himself, he naturally wouldn't hide it.
It turns out that not only the middleman who made the connection, but also the person arranged by Gu Zhiyuan and his group.
The person who initially persuaded Lu's mother that she would have to bleed a little before someone would rescue Lu Kai was probably arranged by one of Lu's father's enemies.
As for Director Qin, who was suspended from his duties pending investigation, he's no better.
He's a master of both taking money and doing things, or taking money and not doing anything at all.
It was only because he was the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee and he was good at maintaining appearances that no one dared to report him, so nothing happened.
This time, he was caught red-handed in front of so many people. Even if he protested his innocence and said he didn't accept it, no one would believe him.
Otherwise, why would they come to him instead of someone else?
The amount was so huge, and the objective was so clear!
Not to mention, there are too many people in the Revolutionary Committee who want to remove him from office and take the position themselves. They are all eyeing him covetously. They finally saw a glimmer of hope, so how could they let him turn things around?
However, Deputy Director Qin was also a cunning old fox. Everyone knew he had taken a lot of things, but when they searched his house, they found nothing.
The situation is currently at a stalemate. If crucial evidence can be obtained, Deputy Director Qin will also be brought down.
Xu Ningyan's eyes lit up: "What crucial evidence?"
Gu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment before saying, "I've heard that Deputy Director Qin has received a lot of bribes and given away a lot of gifts over the years. It's said that he keeps a special ledger in private, which not only records the bribes he's received but also lists the gifts he's given and the amounts. If we can find that, Deputy Director Qin probably won't be able to escape."
After saying that, he shook his head again: "The Revolutionary Committee and the Public Security Bureau have searched the ground up to the bone, but they still haven't found it. It's probably not going to be found!"
Gu Zhiyuan no longer cares what becomes of Deputy Director Qin.
As for Lu's father, Gu Zhiyuan revealed: "It seems that Deputy Factory Director Lu can't hold on any longer. His wife, son, and daughter-in-law have all been locked up, and he himself has been suspended from his duties. His former subordinates, having heard the news, are either busy distancing themselves from him, or kicking him while he's down, or at best, keeping quiet about it."
"If he doesn't make a decision soon, I'm afraid Lu Kai's son might really be sent down to a farm!"
"Moreover, the Revolutionary Committee has already contacted Lu Zheng through the local army, and it is estimated that he will be returning soon!"
"Lu Zheng is coming back?" Xu Ningyan's eyes widened.
Gu Zhiyuan nodded: "This involves disrupting military marriages and spouses of active-duty military personnel engaging in extramarital affairs. The military will not tolerate it! They will not give them any leeway! So Lu Zheng will definitely have to come back!"
Xu Ningyan didn't know what to say. Lu Zheng was back at this time, and she didn't know how the Lu family would have the face to face him!
However, there's still no news about Xu Zhenzhu?
Gu Zhiyuan frowned: "Xu Zhenzhu personally caught them cheating. Regardless of her past, she is the victim in this matter. Many people sympathize with her. She asked the supply and marketing cooperative for a long leave, and the cooperative approved it! The Women's Federation also talked to her, and she only said that she wanted to go back to her hometown for a few days. The Women's Federation was also afraid that if she stayed in the county town, the Lu family would cause her trouble, so they sent someone to send her back to Tuanjie Brigade."
No wonder Xu Zhenzhu's place has been so quiet these past few days; has she gone back to her parents' home?
I wonder what the Xu family's attitude will be after they find out about this.
Xu Ningyan shook her head, deciding not to think about the Xu family anymore.
I tried hard to recall the plot of the novel about a beloved character, did such a Director Qin exist?
She kept this matter on her mind, even thinking about it before going to sleep.
Perhaps it was a case of thinking about something during the day and dreaming about it at night, because I had a strange dream that night.
In her dream, she seemed to see some words: Many years later, Xu Zhenzhu revisited the old place and returned to Jingshan County to sweep the tombs.
Miao Cuihua was buried in Tuanshan Cemetery, the largest cemetery in Jingshan County.
When Xu Zhenzhu, the wife of the richest man in the provincial capital, went to sweep the tombs, the leaders of the county town naturally dared not neglect her. In addition to a deputy county head accompanying her to sweep the tombs, there were also several old comrades from the county who had worked with Xu Zhenzhu at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Among these former colleagues, those chosen to accompany Xu Zhenzhu were those who still had some ability back then and are now working in the county government.
Naturally, he couldn't compare to Xu Zhenzhu, the wife of the richest man in the provincial capital, and his attitude towards her involuntarily became flattering.
After visiting the graves, as we were walking down the mountain and passing another cemetery, an old colleague couldn't help but sigh and say that this cemetery was in the best location back then, and that it contained the parents of a prominent director of the Revolutionary Committee.
This director is also a legend in Jingshan County. When he was the director of the Revolutionary Committee, it is said that he did a lot of unethical things for money.
Not only did he accept bribes, but sometimes he would also covet other people's wealth. He would fabricate charges against them and imprison them in the Revolutionary Committee. After all that trouble, either the person would be gone or their family's money would be gone.
Logically speaking, this director should have been very wealthy. However, after the turmoil ended, someone with ulterior motives used another pretext to arrest him. After being severely tortured for a long time, the director finally confessed that all the things he had collected were hidden in his parents' graves.
Later, when his parents' graves were dug up, sure enough, the coffins inside were full of banknotes, gold bars, gemstones, jewelry, and many cultural relics, antiques, and paintings.
Xu Zhenzhu was taken aback and couldn't help but ask a few more questions about that director...
Xu Ningyan was startled awake. Recalling the passage, a thought arose in her mind.
Could this be the place where Deputy Director Qin hides his treasure?
