Chapter 2523: No One Can Cover It Up

Zhou Andong didn't say anything and walked into the factory building. Since he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't dwell on it. If that woman was targeting the children, Su Su and Old Four had bodyguards to pick them up and drop them off at school, so she wouldn't have a chance.

If that woman was targeting him, then it mattered even less. He, Zhou Andong, was irreconcilable with gambling and drugs in this life. Let that woman bring it on and see how he rides... how he deals with her.

Dong Wenjuan led Su Su with her left hand and Old Four with her right, following Zhou Andong to the office.

Zhou Andong pointed to the sofa and the snacks on the coffee table and said to Old Four, "I have to work. You take Su Su and sit there. If you're hungry, eat some snacks."

"Got it!" Old Four agreed, then looked at Dong Wenjuan and said, "Thank you, sister."

"You're welcome!" Dong Wenjuan pinched Old Four's cheek. "Sister is going to work too. If you need anything, go next door and find me."

"Okay!" Old Four replied crisply, then pulled Su Su to the sofa and sat down.

Dong Wenjuan retreated silently, and Zhou Andong took out the reform plan he had just started writing from the drawer and continued writing.

………………

In the study of Shi Guoqiang's house, the guy's face was still a bit swollen. Yesterday morning, his face had been beaten into a pig's head by Zhou Andong. He didn't even have the face to go to the hospital and went straight home.

On the way home, the more he thought about it, the angrier and more humiliated he felt, hating him so much that he almost broke his teeth. He kept thinking about how to retaliate against Zhou Andong, to make Zhou Andong wish he were dead.

When he got home, he gave his wife a fright. She asked him what happened, but he didn't have the face to say, just letting his wife treat it simply with some medicine.

At this time, Shi Guoqiang was sitting in the large sofa chair behind the desk, looking completely drained of spirit. His hair was no longer meticulously combed as before but was messy and scattered on top of his head, like a chaotic bird's nest. Especially his eyes; his eyelids were swollen, and bags had appeared under them. His eyes were bloodshot, probably because he hadn't slept well all night.

Hu Dajun was sitting on the sofa opposite, his body leaning forward slightly, the cigarette in his hand never leaving his mouth. He smoked one after another, the smoke swirling in front of him, making his face look somewhat blurry.

This guy's mental state also looked very poor, exactly the same as Shi Guoqiang's. The momentum of once looking down on everything and pointing fingers had disappeared without a trace; now he looked very tired and depressed.

Yesterday noon, they learned the news that Shao Yan and others had been taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. At first, they had the same thoughts as the Yin family, believing that since Sun Baocun had done this, he must have had some purpose.

However, Sun Baocun's purpose in inspecting the Woolen Mill was to get rid of Gu Bing and Zhou Andong, but in the end, not only was nothing wrong with Gu Bing and Zhou Andong, but Shao Yan and the others were taken away, which made them feel somewhat insecure.

After all, they were insiders, and this contest concerned their vital interests, or more accurately, their survival. Especially the final outcome, which was completely contrary to their plan.

Therefore, no matter how much they believed in Sun Baocun, thinking that taking Shao Yan and the others back must have involved some calculation, they couldn't figure out Sun Baocun's purpose, and their hearts remained suspended.

So, from noon, they kept calling Sun Baocun's office phone, but no one ever answered. Then they called the Discipline Inspection Office; this time it got through, but the reply was that the secretary was not there.

Until it was almost time to get off work, they still couldn't find Sun Baocun. Then the incident that happened at the Woolen Mill at noon spread through the municipal organs. After all, so many people participated and saw it with their own eyes; no one could cover it up.

Because Shi Guoqiang was at home, Hu Dajun was the first to hear the news. When he heard the news, he was stunned as if struck by lightning, as if the whole world had collapsed in an instant, and he remained in a daze for a full half hour.

As the saying goes, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Unfortunately, in this game of survival, he was one of the tallest, which meant that once the sky fell, he would be the first to stand in front and hold it up.

How did Zhou Andong dare to plot against Sun Baocun? How did he dare? How could his courage be so great? Didn't he know how serious the consequences of offending a deputy ministerial-level big shot were?

Even if you, Zhou Andong, lost your position as the Woolen Mill director, you could still return to Jiangzhou to continue serving as your chairman. But if you offended Sun Baocun, this big shot who ranked fourth in the city, could you, Zhou Andong, bear the consequences?

With Sun Baocun's status, being slapped in the face by you, Zhou Andong, and pushed into a corner with no way out, he would definitely keep an eye on you at all times, looking for opportunities to retaliate. Could you, Zhou Andong, sleep well?

Moreover, you still have many important investment projects in Jingcheng. If Sun Baocun was determined to make things difficult for you, these investments might also go down the drain, bringing you huge losses.

Hu Dajun sat in the office in a daze until getting off work, then frantically made calls to verify whether the rumors were true. Because he never believed that Zhou Andong had the guts to plot against Sun Baocun.

By eight o'clock in the evening, he finally gave up and put down the phone. For several hours, he had found I don't know how many people, and the information fed back to him was that the rumors in the afternoon were all true.

And at this time, Shi Guoqiang was listening to his secretary's report in the study. It wasn't that the secretary was slow to react, but the rumors in the afternoon were too sensational; without investigation and confirmation of truth or falsehood, how could he dare to report?

So, the secretary also made calls for a long time, then met several people in person, understood the situation in detail, and after confirming the authenticity of the matter, ran to Shi Guoqiang's house to report.

Shi Guoqiang's brain went blank upon hearing the report, and he sat in the study until dark. The poor secretary, without the leader's instructions, stood in the study, accompanying Shi Guoqiang until dark.

When Shi Guoqiang's scattered thoughts returned to his brain, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. He grabbed the phone and wanted to call the third son of the Yin family, but gave up because it was too late.

Then, he dismissed the secretary and sat in the study smoking one cigarette after another; he had no sleepiness until one o'clock in the morning. Until past three o'clock in the morning, seeing that it would be dawn in no time, he lay on the sofa in the study and forced himself to nap for a while.

But he woke up after only an hour or so, and then he started smoking again until his wife finished breakfast and went to the study to call him for dinner, only to find that Shi Guoqiang seemed not to have slept all night, and the study was filled with smoke, with cigarette butts all over the floor.

Only then did the woman realize that something had happened, because her husband had never been so decadent, no matter what difficulties he encountered, he was always confident.

But no matter how his wife asked, Shi Guoqiang wouldn't say, and he didn't even eat breakfast. It was just at this time that Hu Dajun came, and then the two started making calls in the study.

First, they called Yin Laosan's house, but Yin Laosan had left early, so they could only call Sun Baocun's house. But Sun Baocun had also left early in the morning, and then they called Sun Baocun's office, and they hadn't found anyone until now.

Time passed bit by bit. Hu Dajun finally took a puff of his cigarette and then fiercely pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray. "I'll go to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to see and inquire about the situation. You continue to call Yin Laosan. I always feel that Yin Laosan is deliberately avoiding us and not answering our calls."

Shi Guoqiang raised both hands, rubbed his face vigorously, and then waved his hand very tiredly. "You go. I'll call Yin Laosan's office again. If no one answers, I'll go to his unit to find him." ===== CHAPTER 2524 =====
