Chapter 210: Going to See Tong Huaiyu

The heavy rain fell harder and harder, and the water level of the Jiangzhou River continued to rise. The city urgently established a flood control headquarters, and the police, fire department, armed police, and various departments were on high alert.

Zhou Andong didn't remember if there had been such a heavy rainstorm in his previous life, but he remembered that there was definitely no major flood in 1992. However, when the entire factory, including Gu Bing, Du Chunlai, and Jian Qiu who had rushed back, were all busy with flood control work, he didn't stop them.

And in every corner of Jiangzhou, some monsters and demons and those famous "big shots" were all dragged out of their holes, handcuffed, and loaded onto police cars.

"Boom..."

A thunderclap rang out, and a bolt of lightning struck the high-voltage line outside the detention center. Then, a brilliant ball of light moved rapidly along the high-voltage line and struck the transformer in the blink of an eye.

The transformer billowed with thick smoke, and electric sparks flashed and crackled. An electric arc extended more than ten meters long, followed by a fire. The lights in the entire detention center went out instantly.

With a scream, Zhao Jianlong woke up from his sleep, sat up abruptly, and gasped for air, a layer of fine sweat beads appearing on his forehead. In the darkness, his eyes were very bright, but they couldn't hide the terror in them.

"Brother Long, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Shi, that idiot, was the first to get up and asked with a look of concern. In his subconscious, he had always believed that as long as Brother Long was there, he would be fine.

Others also got up and asked with concern.

"Nothing, just had a nightmare." Zhao Jianlong calmed down after a while, then lay back down, "Go to sleep."

But he couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Just now, he had dreamed that his subordinates had all been arrested, and then he had fallen into an endless dark abyss. That feeling of weightlessness made him want to scream in terror, but when he opened his mouth wide, he couldn't make a sound.

When he fell to the ground, he suddenly discovered that he was actually surrounded by police, and they were all pointing guns at him. Then, he heard gunfire.

Only after he woke up with a start did he realize that it wasn't gunfire but thunder. But the dream was too real, leaving him with lingering fears that made it impossible to sleep.

That night, there was thunder and lightning outside, but Zhou Andong slept very soundly. When he opened his eyes, Jian Qiu was no longer by his side, and then he heard the clanging of pots and pans from the kitchen.

A smile appeared on Zhou Andong's face. He got up, dressed, and left the bedroom. He saw Jian Qiu wearing an apron, making breakfast in the kitchen. He walked over, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, pressed his face against her back, and sniffed the faint scent of shampoo on her hair, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"Wife, I remember that I didn't accumulate much virtue in my previous life. How could I possess such a good woman as you in this life?"

"You still remember things from your previous life?" Jian Qiu said with a smile, turned off the stove, used chopsticks to transfer the fried egg from the spoon to a plate, then turned around and kissed Zhou Andong on the face, "Alright, hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face, it's time to eat."

Zhou Andong lingered for a while, but he didn't go to brush his teeth or wash his face. Instead, he came to the window and opened it. Although it was already June, the morning after the rain was still a bit chilly, and the damp air was mixed with the smell of mud.

Zhou Andong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at a water droplet on the window eaves. Under the reflection of the morning light, it flashed with colorful rays, then slowly, slowly fell downward. A line of water tightly pulling it grew thinner and thinner, finally snapped, and the water droplet fell rapidly.

"Ding-a-ling..."

The phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. Jian Qiu grabbed the phone: "Hello... He's here, okay!" Then she covered the mouthpiece, "Dai Hongwei!"

Zhou Andong walked over and took the phone: "Leader!"

Dai Hongwei's voice came through the receiver: "Last night, we launched the Thunder Action. Zhao Jianlong's black/evil forces have all been cleared out. In addition, at two o'clock this afternoon, the train escorting Hao Yongsheng will arrive in Jiangzhou."

Zhou Andong looked up at the window again. The sky outside was much bluer and brighter than before: "Now it depends on our Lord Cheng."

Dai Hongwei said: "The investigation team arrived yesterday, and the evidence is sufficient. There should be results today."

Zhou Andong murmured: "A major earthquake is coming."

"Yes!" Dai Hongwei's voice became somewhat low, "After this earthquake, those who can stay out of it won't be even half."

Zhou Andong said: "Make arrangements, I want to see Tong Huaiyu."

Dai Hongwei didn't say anything and hung up the phone.

Zhou Andong looked up and saw Jian Qiu looking at him: "Are there flowers growing on my face?"

Jian Qiu frowned slightly: "Why do you want to see Tong Huaiyu?"

Zhou Andong said: "We've been opponents for so long, and we've never even met. Don't you think that's a pity?"

Jian Qiu shook her head: "I don't think so!"

"But I do!" Zhou Andong's tone was unquestionable. This was also the first time Jian Qiu had seen such a domineering side of Zhou Andong. Instead of being angry, she liked him even more.

"Fine, fine, go if you want, I won't care anymore." Jian Qiu's tone was somewhat unfriendly. She served Zhou Andong a bowl of porridge, "Eat quickly, go wherever you want after you're done."

Zhou Andong chuckled, picked up the bowl, and slurped a mouthful of porridge.

Was there any part of Jian Qiu that he wasn't familiar with? Although her tone was unfriendly, he knew that this woman wasn't angry.

"Smile, smile, smile!" Jian Qiu poured some soy sauce into the plate of fried eggs, then slapped it down in front of Zhou Andong, "Eating can't even block your mouth, what's so funny?"

"I won't smile!" Zhou Andong surrendered. Don't really piss this woman off; the one who would suffer in the end would be him.

After finishing breakfast, Zhou Andong went to brush his teeth and wash his face. After Jian Qiu finished cleaning the kitchen, the two of them went out. At this moment, Zhou Andong suddenly remembered.

"Why didn't our Secretary Gu come over to mooch breakfast?"

"Who knows!" Jian Qiu raised her hand and knocked on the door across the hall, but no one answered, "It's so early, where did he go?"

The two went downstairs. Zhou Andong didn't go to the detention center first but went to the factory headquarters and found Ge Zhengrong, the deputy head of the Finance Department.

"Factory Director!" Seeing Zhou Andong arrive, Ge Zhengrong hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Find someone to inquire about renting a storefront and a warehouse in my personal name. It's best if it's in the city, and the storefront and warehouse shouldn't be too far apart."

"Okay!" Ge Zhengrong said: "I'll go handle it right away."

Zhou Andong nodded, returned to his office, took the Blue and White Porcelain sheet music out of the drawer, and handed it to Jian Qiu: "This is the promotional song for Blue and White Porcelain. You take a look at it first, I'm going to the detention center."

Zhou Andong didn't drive but got on a bus. After transferring three or four times and swaying for nearly two hours, he finally arrived at the detention center.

When he walked into the detention center, Tong Xiao also walked into the courtyard of the highest power center in Jiangzhou.
