Chapter 1318: Issuing Another Manifesto

Seeing this, Elder Jian reached out, took the ashtray, flicked the ash, and then continued reading.

An anti-Japanese war veteran, having lost a leg in the war, lost his disability certificate for various reasons.

The ticket inspector turned a blind eye to the veteran's physical disability and made things difficult in every way, insisting that without a disability certificate, he must buy a full ticket to ride the train.

Mr. Zhou Andong—yes, I can only use "Mr." to address him now, because I cannot find better vocabulary to describe my respect for him.

"Although the hero is late in his years, he must never be bullied!"

This was what Mr. Zhou Andong shouted in public in the waiting hall; it was truly deafening.

He said that not many years have passed since the war, and the smoke of gunpowder on these old heroes has not yet dissipated.

The blood in their bodies has not yet cooled; as long as the people need it and the country calls,

they will definitely put on their military uniforms again, and even if they only have one leg left, they will walk onto the battlefield without hesitation.

But ah, they paid with blood and even their lives for this country and for our nation.

In the end, it was exchanged for this paleness and powerlessness today; how sad and shameful...

Among them, a sentence Mr. Zhou Andong said still echoes in my mind even days later, unable to calm down for a long time.

He said: It is because of these soldiers carrying the weight forward and their selfless dedication that we have our peaceful years today.

And the living veterans are the precious spiritual wealth of our country and people; we should not forget them.

Because forgetting them is betraying history. And history is everything we have; a nation without historical memory has no future.

"..."

Elder Jian's eyes were a bit moist; he slowly raised his hand, took off his reading glasses, put down the newspaper, and leaned against the chair, speechless for a long time.

At this moment, it wasn't just Elder Jian; many big shots were reading that article by Zhou Andong.

Of course, some people also noticed another report about Zhou Andong.

Ye Tuan held the newspaper and sighed while reading: "That old thing surnamed Jian, how is his luck so good to find such an excellent grandson-in-law."

Ye Zhen stood behind Ye Tuan, kneading the old man's shoulders.

"Jealousy is useless; among those two granddaughters of yours, which one can compare to Jian Qiu?"

Ye Tuan snorted: "Don't talk about others; talk about yourself first. You're thirty-something; for anyone else, their child would already be out buying soy sauce. Look at you, wandering around all day, not even bringing a beggar back for me."

Ye Zhen said coquettishly: "Dad, I'm not dating anymore; I'll just stay at home and serve you."

"No need!" Ye Tuan said mercilessly: "I get annoyed when I see you."

"Annoyed when you see me, right? Then I'm leaving." Ye Zhen snorted and turned to leave.

Watching Ye Zhen leave the study, Ye Tuan sighed helplessly and lowered his head to continue reading the newspaper.

……………………

The next day, Zhou Andong, who had been silent for a period of time, appeared in the public eye once again.

His article was reprinted by major media outlets, causing widespread discussion.

"Zhou Andong Issues Another Manifesto"

"Be Vigilant Against the Poison Pill Plan"

"Zhou Andong's Several Questions"

"Please Answer, Professor Zhao Yujing"

"Unmasking the International Republican Institute"

"Cultural Traitor Zhao Yujing"

"..."

Similar headlines occupied the front pages of major media outlets.

And the most lively place was naturally South China Agricultural University, because Zhao Yujing's article had divided the students into two camps.

One camp supported Zhao Yujing, and the other camp opposed Zhao Yujing.

Therefore, the two sides even launched a debate, but neither side convinced the other.

But Zhou Andong's article yesterday immediately made those students who supported Zhao Yujing silent.

Because they discovered that Zhou Andong's article was based on history, and the facts were right there; they couldn't refute it.

And Zhao Yujing's argument was full of loopholes, making them very suspicious that the Poison Pill Plan Zhou Andong mentioned was real.

Zhao Yujing had already been bought by a hostile country, betrayed the motherland and the people, and become a cultural traitor.

In a classroom, more than a dozen male and female students were sitting scattered.

There was no teacher giving a lecture, and they weren't reading books either; they were just sitting there quietly, and the atmosphere looked very strange.

I don't know how long it had been, but the classroom door was pushed open, and a male student entered.

When he saw the dozen or so people in the classroom, a very arrogant smile appeared on his face.

"What's wrong? The Professor Zhao Yujing you support is very likely a traitor and a seller of the country; do you feel particularly stupid?"

"Zhao Ming, don't be arrogant." A burly male student stood up, at least 1.9 meters tall: "Even now, I still support Professor Zhao Yujing, but I really want to know how he answers Zhou Andong's several questions."

A female student stood up: "I also want to know this answer."

"I want to know too."

"And me."

More than a dozen students stood up, looking at Zhao Ming with burning eyes.

"I don't believe Professor Zhao Yujing is a traitor and a seller of the country; he will definitely be able to give a perfect answer."

"You guys are really beyond saving." Zhao Ming sneered: "Since you want to know the answer, then come with me to ask him."

"Let's go then." A male student snorted coldly: "Let's go."

More than a dozen people followed Zhao Ming out. When they left the comprehensive building and arrived at the research institute,

they saw a large number of students gathered outside, holding long banners with Zhou Andong's several questions written on them.

"Professor Zhao Yujing, we still believe in you, but please answer Zhou Andong's several questions."

A female student, holding a handheld megaphone, shouted toward the three-story building of the research institute.

Immediately after, the students also shouted at the top of their lungs; the sound was truly earth-shaking, and it was estimated that it could be heard two miles away.

And at this moment, Zhao Yujing was standing in front of the window with a gloomy face, looking at the students gathered outside.

Just before yesterday, his mood was quite good, because his article had caused a great sensation.

He had received support from many people, including students at the school, which brought him huge fame.

It could be said that he was truly high-spirited those few days and was preparing to strike while the iron was hot and publish another article.

But what he never dreamed of was that Zhou Andong suddenly jumped out and published a commentary article targeting him.

This wasn't much; fighting a war of words was something he had never been afraid of, even facing Zhou Andong, who was known as invincible, he wasn't afraid.

But Zhou Andong mentioned the Poison Pill Plan, which made him angry while also feeling panicked.

Zhou Andong said in the article that he wanted to peel off his skin, and it was as if he had really been peeled by Zhou Andong.

He felt that in front of Zhou Andong, he was naked, exposed, and had no secrets to speak of.

"Bang!"

Zhao Yujing smashed his fist against the window frame, his eyes sinister, and his whole face became a bit distorted, looking very scary.

"How on earth did he know about the International Republican Institute, and how did he know about the Poison Pill Plan?" ===== CHAPTER 1319 =====
