The Zhao family, who were in the East, had no idea that the mastermind behind the scenes had once again set its sights on them.
But in fact, the Zhao family had already made thorough preparations.
After all, they were tricked back then.
No further evidence has been found to date.
Because the person who gave them false information was already dead, after they had investigated everything, they originally wanted to get more information from that person.
However, the person had already committed suicide by poisoning himself before that.
They were not given a chance to make the arrest.
The trail ends here, and no further information is revealed.
This made Old Master Zhao depressed and sad.
Because at that time he also felt that his two sons would probably die under mysterious circumstances.
Although he sacrificed himself for his country, he also saved many of his comrades.
But the dead son can never come back.
That was his most beloved, most valued, and most proud son.
Everything is beyond repair.
If he had known that the mission would have such consequences, he might have tried his best to stop it.
But as soldiers, they must obey orders and complete the tasks assigned to them; this is their duty.
Moreover, those in charge have complete confidence in this mission.
I believe that the secret team is capable of accomplishing this.
But no one expected it to end like this.
Therefore, a group of bigwigs at the time also felt guilty towards the Zhao family, and they were also deceived.
It can only be said that the mastermind behind this is extremely well hidden. At the same time, among these people, there are also the other side's henchmen and lurking agents.
These can all be deduced, after all, the other party would not have been able to complete such a meticulous plan if it weren't for this.
Even with all sorts of intelligence, it's difficult to carry out some of the subsequent orders.
But now it seems that finding those hidden agents is not such a simple matter.
A group of bigwigs were also furious, and subsequently conducted a thorough investigation and purge within the organization.
This had very subtle consequences, and even changed the landscape at the time.
So this incident caused quite a stir back then, but among the higher-ups, everyone was on edge and conducted a self-examination.
They did manage to find some important undercover agents, but that was the end of it. Before they were found, the agents also committed suicide by poisoning themselves, and there was no follow-up.
Such methods cast a shadow over the higher-ups' perception of this hidden force influencing everything.
After all, they all knew very well that the undercover agent who had been exposed earlier was now in a high position.
Given their impressive status and position, the fact that they were still controlled by the other party demonstrates the immense influence of that organization.
We must take comprehensive precautions in the East to prevent this from happening again.
Otherwise, it would be a tremendous loss if another such important pillar of the nation were to sacrifice his life.
Zhao Chen learned most of the truth about what happened back then from his grandfather and third uncle.
But it still feels like being shrouded in mist, unable to see the whole picture.
Therefore, he seems to have found some clues this time, and naturally he attaches great importance to them.
Of course, he still needed to ask his grandfather about his third uncle, Zhao Qilong.
Because Zhao Chen knows how the plot will develop, he might be able to deduce a completely new direction from some of the plot points in the original book.
At that time, we should be able to find the mastermind behind it all.
He needs to use this to launch a new counterattack, instead of being like a headless fly like before, unable to find any opportunity to retaliate.
However, Zhao Qilong seems to have moved on from what happened before.
Zhao Chen was also happy for him.
Of course, Grandpa Zhao and Feng Junhua were even happier.
As an important family member, Zhao Qilong had been watching him wallow in the sorrow of the past.
Although Zhao Qilong stood up strong and took charge of some of the Zhao family's worldly affairs.
Furthermore, it played a very crucial and important role in subsequent development.
But it also makes it difficult for him to let go of what happened back then.
He simply used his strongest will to overcome all this sorrow.
He was just using his career to distract himself.
Therefore, under these circumstances, they still need to make some new choices.
"Dad, is there something Uncle Three and the others are hiding from me about what happened back then?"
"Especially Uncle's marriage, is there some other hidden story behind it?"
"I need to know more information. My men now have a certain influence abroad."
"Perhaps we can find new clues and uncover the mastermind behind it all."
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Feng Junhua naturally fell into a long-forgotten memory:
"Back then, your third uncle was on a special mission abroad and apparently met a foreign girl."
"Their relationship progressed very quickly, and they had already reached the stage of discussing marriage."
“Your third uncle mentioned this before and even reported it to Shangfeng.”
“Back then, your three uncles had different statuses, so it was a rather sensitive issue.”
"Therefore, their marriage naturally attracted a lot of attention."
"As a result, before the approval from above could be obtained, your third uncle's affair with that girl came to an abrupt end."
"Then that mission happened, and your two uncles, naturally..."
Upon hearing his father's words, Zhao Chen immediately realized what was happening:
"Dad, you mean that woman is suspicious?"
"It was his fault that Uncle San and the others bought this illicit goods. He deliberately set a trap to lure them there?"
As a result, Feng Junhua shook his head: "It shouldn't be. I met that girl before. She was indeed very beautiful, but you are very kind."
“He wouldn’t harm your third uncle. Although we all know that you can’t judge a book by its cover, we could feel that the girl truly loved your third uncle back then.”
"I think it's very likely that the forces behind that girl did something."
"They are the ones who are opposing it."
"The girl said that her family might object, but she would handle it."
"But none of us expected that the final result would be like this."
Upon hearing his father's words, Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows again.
"Do we really know nothing about that woman, or the power of her family?"
"By the way, do you have a portrait of that woman from back then? I currently have a good working relationship with the Williams family."
“They have a lot of influence in Europe and North America, so maybe they can help me find some information about this woman.”
"The answer will then become clear."
"At the very least, we need to find her. My third uncle's transformation into what he was before is directly related to her. We can't just let this go!"
