Chapter 823: He Yuzhu Goes to Yugoslavia

Secretary Liu fell into deep thought and said, "Judging by the tone of your words, you seem very certain that someone will definitely use various rules to circumvent this clause."

After listening, He Yuzhu said, "The most feared thing is passing the buck. Some people register a shell company this year, transfer it to another company next year, and just like that, they can keep shifting it for twenty years, and no one can do anything about it."

Secretary Liu said, "Then let's set it this way: if a piece of land is acquired and construction hasn't started within two years, it must be reclaimed. Furthermore, they are absolutely forbidden from reselling it privately without development... If the development progress exceeds 25%, they may continue to hold, use, and resell it."

He Yuzhu laughed: "This rule is slightly better, but there will still be people who try every possible way to find loopholes. I think the most critical thing is to start from the bank's side..." Immediately, he laid out his own ideas completely.

After listening, Secretary Liu nodded continuously and said, "That is indeed a good idea. It's just that it is truly difficult to regulate, as the quality of grassroots personnel is uneven. Some leading Cadres might even covet small gains and deliberately engage in fraud."

He Yuzhu said, "The real estate sector must be strictly regulated..."

He then listed out various chaotic phenomena and bizarre practices in the industry he had heard of in later generations one by one; after listening, Secretary Liu could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He Yuzhu could clearly feel that when he walked out of the Second Reception House, Secretary Liu was still immersed in those horrifying scenes he had described.

Upon returning home, He Yuzhu was surprised to see his eldest uncle, Shen Wenqing, had come over.

He Yuzhu asked, "Eldest Uncle, are you still eating sugar lately?"

Shen Wenqing laughed and scolded, "You brat, this habit of loving sugar is something I won't be able to change in this lifetime. However, with the Insulin you gave me, my body does feel much lighter. Before, my legs would itch at the slightest provocation, but it's much better now. It's just that I'm getting old and can't help it; my toes are always ice-cold."

He Yuzhu said, "That's still because your blood sugar isn't well-controlled; you still need to eat less sugar and walk around more."

Just as the two were chatting, He Zheng, Xiaotian, and Bang Geng brought Ivan back.

Ivan's eyes were bloodshot.

He Yuzhu hurriedly ushered them into the living room and teased, "You guys aren't at work in the middle of the day, why are you so idle?"

He Zheng said with red-rimmed eyes, "Ivan's family has likely all been brutally murdered."

After hearing He Zheng's words, Ivan knelt down on the spot in front of He Yuzhu and knocked his head against the floor three times with a thud: "Uncle He, please save my family!"

He Yuzhu hurriedly helped him up and said, "Hey, you're a grown man in your thirties, so tall and big, what are you crying for? If there's something to say, say it properly."

Ivan choked with sobs and said, "Since the end of last year, I have been calling home, but I could never get through. Later, I entrusted a friend who does business to go to my hometown village to scout for news. He told me that the Bosnian Muslims, together with Western Mercenaries, are conducting village-by-village clearing, burning, and killing in the Serb-inhabited areas around Sarajevo. My friend specifically went to look for my family for me and said our entire village had been burned down, with corpses everywhere. I still wanted to contact my sister, but I couldn't reach her at all. I wanted to go back and find them myself, but Xiaotian and He Zheng both stopped me. They told me to come and beg you, hoping you could contact Kajia in the Soviet Union and hire a group of special forces to go over and help me investigate the news."

He Yuzhu looked at He Zheng, Yi Xiaotian, and Bang Geng and asked, "You guys came to find me with this same idea?"

He Zheng blinked and nodded heavily.

He Yuzhu knew clearly that his son wanted him to take action personally to help Ivan.

He Yuzhu said, "You guys wait at home, I'm going to Shichahai."

He Zheng nodded in response.

He Yuzhu arrived at Liu Rusi's residence, sat in the living room, lit a cigarette, and smoked it slowly.

Liu Rusi didn't pay him any mind, continuing to read newspapers and flip through documents on her own.

After a good while, He Yuzhu spoke up: "Sister, what do you think about me taking a trip to Yugoslavia?"

Liu Rusi sighed at length and said, "I didn't expect you to be interested in that place."

He Yuzhu said: "Actually, I wasn't interested in that place at all originally; I had planned to wait a few more years before going to deal with those Europeans. But there is a Yugoslavian named Ivan who does business with my son. He said his village, as well as the village where his sister lived, were bloodily massacred by Bosnian extremists and European mercenaries. Ivan is insistent on going back to look for people. They originally wanted me to contact the Soviet side to hire a few mercenaries to accompany him there to look for people, but I was thinking, it might be better to go take a trip myself."

He Yuzhu suddenly remembered the tragedy that occurred in Yugoslavia in 1999 in his previous life, and with a mix of emotions in his heart, he immediately made up his mind to make this trip.

Liu Rusi sighed and said, "You really are an old child. I know I can't stop you. But to be honest, teaching those NATO people a good lesson is indeed a good thing... After M Country expanded its influence in the Arab Region and was suppressed by the Soviet Union and lost the upper hand, it started stirring up the situation in East Europe. Currently, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia have already declared Duli, breaking away from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and large numbers of NATO troops have also moved into Croatia."

After finishing, she hung up a map and began to analyze the current situation and landscape for He Yuzhu.

To tell the truth, in this life, he had never paid attention to the movements in that region.

Liu Rusi said: "There is one more thing; that group of Westerners has been secretly investigating Ali's background. Although they haven't traced it to you yet, you must be extra careful."

After He Yuzhu and Liu Rusi finalized the specific details of the operation and the intelligence support Liu Rusi could provide, he said: "Sister, I'm heading back first. Please take a moment to notify Secretary Liu, otherwise, if I leave suddenly, he will inevitably have thoughts in his mind."

Liu Rusi nodded: "That's no problem."

After leaving Liu Rusi's house, He Yuzhu called Hu Bayi and Xu Damao to give instructions on the key points for subsequent stock trading and informed the two that he would be away for a period of time.

Returning home, He Yuzhu looked at Ivan and said: "Tomorrow morning, go back and pack up and prepare; we will set off immediately. I will accompany you back to your country to find out if any of your family members are still alive."

Upon hearing this, Ivan knelt on the ground again and knocked his head three times: "Uncle He, thank you! But there are only two of us, will it work?"

He Zheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "If my dad says it works, then there will definitely be no problem."

Bang Geng also followed up: "Ivan, don't worry, with my dad here, as long as your family is still alive, my dad will definitely be able to find them."

Yi Xiaotian also chimed in: "As long as there are survivors, there is absolutely hope."

Early the next morning, He Yuzhu did not use special connections to take a shortcut into the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, but chose the safest way: flying directly to Moscow.

He Yuzhu and Ivan both used disguises; He Yuzhu specifically dressed as a young man, while Ivan looked more like the elder, making the two look like a father and son.

Ivan didn't understand He Yuzhu's intentions at first and was anxious, feeling that this route was too sluggish and slow.

He Yuzhu asked: "Kid, if your family really was brutally slaughtered, do you dare to pick up a gun and take revenge with your own hands?"

Ivan pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said: "I dare! I must kill those murderers! I even want to join the army directly and fight those bastards to the death!"

He Yuzhu said: "To deal with those evil people, if you don't do a good job of disguising and hiding, you will expose your identity as soon as you enter the border."

Only then did Ivan suddenly realize and understand He Yuzhu's intentions.

Ivan also finally witnessed He Yuzhu's skills; it took him less than thirty seconds to skillfully drive away a military vehicle.

The two started from Belgrade, passed through Smederevo and the Zajecar border, drove into the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and then traveled all the way southwest from Bijeljina.

More than seven hours later, near dusk, the two arrived near Ivan's hometown, Voldavo Village.

Feeling timid as he approached home, Ivan sat in the car, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

He Yuzhu parked the car on the side of the road, took a large luggage bag out of the trunk, took out two AK-47s, handed one to Ivan, and said: "You remember the basic shooting essentials I taught you before, right?"

Ivan nodded hurriedly: "I remember, I remember, my marksmanship is actually not bad."
