Chapter 1173: Commander Liu is Not the Murderer

Putting the right person in the right position will have twice the result with half the effort.

This was the first lesson Sheng Hanyu taught his daughter, and she used it very well.

For a matter like this, Liu Fengchao was the only one for the job.

Organizing a protest was a piece of cake for him.

The next day.

The number of protesters doubled again, and their demands escalated.

They not only demanded that the president drop the wanted notice for Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan, but also demanded that the president publicly apologize to Wang Yong!

……

Wang Yong was very satisfied.

He took the initiative to call Shi Ran to praise Liu Fengchao: "I didn't expect that guy, who is usually so glib, to actually do a good deed at a critical moment; it's truly not easy."

Wang Yong had always looked down on Liu Fengchao, disliking that he talked more than he acted, always liked to seek attention in front of Sheng Hanyu, and often squeezed out those who only did their work and were not good at communication.

Of course, he was not afraid of being squeezed out, and Liu Fengchao did not dare to squeeze him out either.

But he hated evil like a deadly foe and often stood up for others.

Liu Fengchao did not dare to offend him openly, so he would trip him up behind his back.

Every time he was caught, he would be taught a lesson!

Over these years, the two had always been at odds, looking down on each other.

Wang Yong did not expect that when he was in trouble and ostracized by the country, it would be Liu Fengchao, the foreigner he looked down upon, who helped him so much.

Wang Yong said: "I must find this guy to have a drink and thank him properly."

Shi Ran: ……

Wang Yong was still in L Country and had not left.

Everyone thought he had fled outside, but in fact, he had not left.

Shi Ran: "Uncle Wang, you cannot look for him now, and your location cannot be known to him. Although there is a slight turn for the better, it is better for us to be cautious."

"You should just come to Jiangzhou; it is too dangerous for you there."

Wang Yong waved his hand, unconcerned: "It's fine, the brothers here have surrounded me like an iron bucket, there is no problem at all."

"I cannot leave; I must find Big Brother and Sister-in-law myself and uncover the truth!"

Shi Ran wanted him to leave L Country, but Wang Yong firmly disagreed.

Such conversations happened almost every day.

……

Liu Fengchao had a silver tongue.

He seemed like a born orator, and the words he spoke were extremely inflammatory.

The masses incited by him grew larger and larger; the protests spread from points to areas, instantly connecting into a whole, forming a situation where a single spark could start a prairie fire.

Commander Liu could not sit still; it could not go on like this.

Did he think his army was blind and deaf?

Send troops to suppress them.

Before sending troops, Qi Heng strongly opposed it, saying that sending troops would only be counterproductive.

They were not facing a foreign invasion, but their own compatriots, all unarmed commoners; how could they use the army?

Commander Liu was furious: "You yellow-mouthed child, you have seen too little and lack experience. These people are just cheap; it is useless to say anything to them, just beating them up will do."

"I hate those sour scholars the most; I sent so many people out and they were of no use at all..."

That's right, Qi Heng had not done nothing these past few days, nor had he ignored it.

He had his supporters go down to persuade the protesters, wanting them to go home and not cause trouble, but it had little effect... no, it had no effect at all!

Commander Liu sent the troops anyway.

The result was the same as Qi Heng had guessed.

The suppression process was very bloody, killing and wounding many people, but it did not suppress the protesters; instead, it incited even more angry emotions, and more and more people joined the march.

Furthermore, many people began smashing, looting, and robbing in the chaos.

L Country was in chaos.

Merchants were all in a state of panic, closing their shops for fear that their goods would be stolen and the family business they had worked so hard to build would go down the drain.

But with shops closed, the common people could not buy daily necessities, which made them even more dissatisfied with the army.

For a time, L Country was filled with complaints, and everyone was in a state of panic!

Presidential Office.

Commander Liu handed over his military power to Qi Heng: "President, this matter is all my fault; I am not worthy of sitting in this position."

Qi Heng declined: "Uncle Liu, what are you doing? It is just a mistake, it is no big deal. Who doesn't make mistakes? This is very normal, you don't need to blame yourself."

"You are the one who supported my father to become president, and I also owe it to your support that I was able to reach this position. If I were to take back your military power because of such a small matter, I would be a heartless and unrighteous person, and I will not do that."

"Even if I stop being president and my parents' revenge is delayed, I will never take back your power."

Liu Quan was moved to tears and immediately stated that he would follow the president's lead in the future, would never speak rudely again, and would never disobey his orders.

After Liu Quan left, his Secretary was puzzled: "President, why didn't you take the opportunity to take back the military power? What a good opportunity; if you miss this time, maybe there won't be such an opportunity in the future."

The Secretary felt it was a pity and sighed with regret.

Qi Heng smiled slightly: "You think I don't want to? But now is not the time. People's hearts are the most complex thing and the hardest to buy, but once you win people's hearts, it is much more useful than military power."

Although the previous president died suddenly, his father had instilled in him the art of balance and the principles of employing people while he was alive.

Commander Liu was brave, but his courage outweighed his strategy.

Being able to win him over to be used entirely for himself was much more useful than holding onto cold military power.

Today's incident also allowed Qi Heng to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

From Liu Quan's move to hand over military power, it could be determined that he was not the murderer who killed his parents!

That's right, Qi Heng had also been suspecting Commander Liu.

Liu Quan held the military power of L Country and was in a high and powerful position; if he wanted to become president, it was entirely possible.

For the sake of power, there is nothing people will not do.

If Commander Liu wanted to be this president, then there would be no place for him.

But at first, he did not; he fully supported Qi Heng in taking the position.

Just when Qi Heng's doubts had lessened a little, he began to point fingers at the president's decisions again, and even went as far as to disobey the president's orders and act on his own authority.

This made Qi Heng wonder, did he want to treat him as a puppet?

To be manipulated by him?

If that was the case, then he had miscalculated.

Qi Heng would not be a puppet; even in a situation with no way out, he would still find a way.

The reason why this suppression had such a strong backlash was that Qi Heng had secretly fanned the flames!

He did it very covertly, and Commander Liu did not discover it.

The matter was botched, Commander Liu offered his resignation to take the blame, Qi Heng firmly refused, took the opportunity to win over the people's hearts, and from then on, Commander Liu was devoted to him!

……

Jiangzhou.

Dingsheng President Office.

When the riots broke out in L Country, Shi Ran guessed what was going on the very first moment.

Qi Heng could deceive Commander Liu, but he could not deceive Shi Ran's eyes.

The corners of her mouth curled up, and she smiled slightly.

Using a riot to win over the people's hearts, what a brilliant move!

If her expectations were correct, Qi Heng's next step would be to announce the confiscation of all the Sheng Family's assets to provide benefits to the public!
