Chapter 290

Secrecy?

Lu Qiaoshan looked at Li Ya and Yu Zecheng, his head buzzing.

You brought it up in front of these two, and you're talking to me about secrecy?

Yu Zecheng is one thing.

His messy affairs don't involve his own interests, and Lu Qiaoshan is too lazy to ponder them for now.

But Li Ya is a real, die-hard rival; if it reached his ears, it would be strange if he didn't find some trouble.

Qian Siming might just be a bomb that will explode in his hands.

"Station Master, you are the deputy group leader; without you presiding, I don't feel confident."

Lu Qiaoshan wasn't stupid, so he quickly humbled himself.

Although the last time he suppressed the students and took a risk, he gained the Generalissimo's appreciation, but his beloved subordinate Xizi was lost for nothing.

He was sent to Jingling for judgment that very day, and within a week, he was executed by firing squad.

It even made the newspapers, leaving him with a 'bad reputation for ten thousand years,' which finally calmed the public opinion storm across the country.

Qian Siming is a physics expert with international reputation.

Wu Jingzhong is an old-school type, vulgar, and doesn't understand the influence of these intellectuals, but Lu Qiaoshan knows.

If this matter is handled well, it's naturally good.

If something goes wrong, having a Major General to share the blame would undoubtedly make him feel much more secure.

"Oh, you guys keep talking, my prostate is acting up again."

Wu Jingzhong pretended not to hear and went straight to the restroom.

He came out after a few minutes.

He thought Lu Qiaoshan should have had the sense to leave.

He didn't expect these little brats to still be lingering.

"Where were we? There's a meeting at the City Defense Bureau, right? Zecheng, come with me." Wu Jingzhong wiped his hands and walked out, his gaze shifting from Hong Zhiyou to Yu Zecheng's face.

Yu Zecheng was suffering inwardly.

You can't offend your own son-in-law, so it has to be me... Yu Zecheng complained secretly, biting the bullet and nodding:

"Right, right.

"The City Defense Bureau meeting is set for nine o'clock, it's almost time, Station Master, you need to get going."

"Sigh, another day of meetings." Wu Jingzhong waved his hand and walked out.

"Station Master, I..." Lu Qiaoshan still wanted to chase after him and say a few words.

Who would have expected Old Wu to be so fast; in the blink of an eye, he had turned the corner of the hallway.

Old fox!

Lu Qiaoshan knew Old Wu didn't want to wade into the muddy water, so he could only curl his lip and give up the idea.

"Deputy Group Leader Lu, taking on the heavy responsibility alone, courage is commendable; I wish you a successful fishing trip." Li Ya gave Lu Qiaoshan a cold smile and walked out with his hands in his pockets.

"Old Yu, tell me, why did you have to bring up the meeting for no reason?

"For that little bit of business at the City Defense Bureau, just send anyone; did the Station Master really need to go in person?"

Sure enough, Lu Qiaoshan's face darkened as he vented his resentment on Yu Zecheng.

"Director Lu, this meeting is not ordinary.

"The Bandit Suppression Headquarters sent a special commissioner, and Chen Zhangjie personally named the Station Master to go."

Yu Zecheng said helplessly.

"Forget it.

"Isn't it just a Qian Siming? You guys just wait and see, I'll definitely catch a big fish.

"By then, you'll be drooling with envy."

Lu Qiaoshan waved his hand and said.

"Little Hong, come to my office for a moment." He turned his head to look at Hong Zhiyou and walked out quickly.

"Little Hong, why aren't you going quickly."

Yu Zecheng whispered and blinked at Hong Zhiyou with a smile.

Hong Zhiyou rolled his eyes at him and went to Lu Qiaoshan's office with his hands in his pockets.

Lu Qiaoshan had been quite different over the past six months.

Since his meritorious service in the suppression, his official authority had been rising.

The Investigation Section had also caught several members of the Red underground committee, dealing a heavy blow to the reconstruction work of the Jinhai Red underground committee, and he had received many commendations from the Ministry of National Defense.

Last month, the Special Action Supervisory Group was established, and Lu Qiaoshan became even more extraordinary.

He leaped to become an existence on par with the Station Master and Sun Chuanzhi.

Coupled with holding two positions, the three-in-one role made him a true 'regional official.'

His rank had risen.

His office naturally had to be changed as well.

Originally, apart from the Station Master's office, his Intelligence Section office was the most impressive.

Even that wasn't enough.

Lu Qiaoshan directly converted a large storage room on the third floor into an office, placing himself directly above the Station Master.

"Office of the Deputy Group Leader of the Special Action Supervisory Group!"

Hong Zhiyou looked at the door plate with three lines and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

A dog can't change its habit of eating excrement.

Old Lu just loves to show off.

"Little Hong, quick, come in." Lu Qiaoshan beckoned, signaling him to sit.

"Brother Shan, is something the matter?" Hong Zhiyou sat down.

"Look at you, can't Brother Shan chat with you if there's nothing wrong? I'll make you a cup of coffee." Showing off aside, Lu Qiaoshan still knew that the God of Wealth couldn't be offended.

After making the coffee, he sat down, crossed his legs, and popped a piece of chocolate into his mouth, chewing as he said:

"Getting on in years, my heart keeps thumping.

"Went for a physical at the hospital two days ago, they said something about low blood sugar.

"Get dizzy as soon as I get busy, eating this stuff is good."

"Brother Shan, you're over forty, with your Colonel rank, just lying there and collecting your salary is comfortable enough, why work so hard?" Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"Can't do that.

"Your sister-in-law and I married early, and now Lu Ming is at the age where he needs someone to give him a hand.

"The kid doesn't want to stay in Suzhou anymore, he wants to come to Jinhai.

"You tell me, isn't this just finding trouble for me?"

Lu Qiaoshan said with a depressed look.

"Isn't it pretty good to come to Jinhai? The second most prosperous big city in the country, with you covering him, he can walk sideways.

"Family reunion is a good thing."

Hong Zhiyou chatted with him aimlessly.

"It would have been good if he came last year, but now, to be honest, I can't afford to lose face." Lu Qiaoshan shook his head and smiled.

"Wasn't he dating the niece of the Fang family before?

"As a result, I was pitted by Lin Sufang, invested 80,000 US dollars in the Cherry brand, and if it weren't for you, brother, making up the arms and paying back Officer Zheng's money, I wouldn't be sitting here, let alone knowing what charge I would have been locked up for.

"Who in the circle doesn't know about this little matter.

"As soon as the Fang family heard I didn't even have a place to live, they broke it off immediately.

"Their niece married a Major Section Chief of the Party Communication Bureau this Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Brother, you tell me, in this day and age, official titles and names are worth nothing; who isn't staring at the silver in your pocket to act?"

Lu Qiaoshan continued, somewhat depressed.

"Oh, I remember, your house hasn't been redeemed yet." Hong Zhiyou feigned realization.

"Indeed.

"It's mortgaged to that Sihai Bank of yours, the one Mr. Zhou looks after.

"Over 10,000 US dollars.

"It's also thanks to you, brother, although the redemption period has passed, the house hasn't been sold off yet.

"Your sister-in-law is still living at the Delong Inn in the station.

"She cares about face, afraid of being laughed at by those little brats in the station, so she hasn't really come downstairs for the past six months.

"Sigh, I've had eight lifetimes of bad luck, pitted miserably by that pair of dogs, Lin Sufang and Long Er."

Lu Qiaoshan blinked, his smile becoming a bit more flattering.

Speaking of this, he patted the sofa armrest and raised his hand domineeringly:

"Fortunately, if the east isn't bright, the west is.

"Your Brother Shan is now valued by the Generalissimo; my financial luck is fading, but my official career is still smooth, and in Jinhai, besides Chen Zhangjie, it's my turn no matter what."

Lu Qiaoshan said this, his gaze intense, putting on airs again, looking at Hong Zhiyou with a half-smile.

"Hey, Brother Shan, why didn't you say so earlier.

"Isn't it just 10,000 US dollars?

"Is the mortgage note still there? I'll call Zhou Yan right now and have him return the house deed to you."

Hong Zhiyou understood his little scheme and agreed readily.

Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep.

Lu Qiaoshan invested 80,000 US dollars; if I return his house here, and later reduce the 'ten percent' dividend by a little bit here and there every month, this 10,000 will be squeezed back.

There's no need to bicker with him over a house.

And I can easily gain a favor.

Although it's not of much use, it's better than falling out.

"No, no.

"Brother, how can I be so embarrassed, this is over 10,000 US dollars.

"If we cancel the bill like this, won't your bank go bust sooner or later?"

Lu Qiaoshan waved his hand quickly, pretending to be embarrassed.

"Brother Shan, what kind of relationship do we have? We're brothers.

"Your business is my business.

"Even if it goes bust, it must be done."

Hong Zhiyou said generously.

"Then, then I'll accept it first, and when I save enough later, I'll pay you back." Lu Qiaoshan exchanged pleasantries and leaned forward with a smile.

"Pay back what, we're family.

"I can't just watch sister-in-law suffer squeezed in the Delong Inn.

"Wait, I'll call now."

Hong Zhiyou wasn't just paying lip service; he walked straight to the phone and dialed the Sihai Bank number:

"Hello, Old Zhou, it's me.

"Please send someone to bring over Director Lu's mortgaged house deed, notes, etc.

"Right.

"Right now."

After hanging up, he called the security office at the entrance to grant entry.

A while later, the Sihai Bank clerk was led in by Zhang Li.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Hong Zhiyou gave the clerk two silver dollars and sent him away.

"Brother Shan, I've asked, have sister-in-law move back tonight." He handed the file bag to Lu Qiaoshan.

Lu Qiaoshan opened it excitedly.

Upon seeing it, he was overjoyed: "Yes, it's my house deed.

"Brother, thanks."

"What's there to be polite about." Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"Oh my, in this world, everyone calls each other brothers, but inside it's all calculation; only you, brother, are real.

"Real!"

Lu Qiaoshan's eyes were slightly red, moved by the sentiment.

Hong Zhiyou was just about to speak when Lu Qiaoshan's speaking speed suddenly increased: "Your sister is a junior this year, right?"

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, it's been almost three years since she came to Jinhai." Hong Zhiyou nodded.

"A junior is a grown woman.

"Last time the students caused trouble, she was detained by the Station Master in the station; I saw she was quite pretty, very cultured and polite, very good indeed." Lu Qiaoshan said with a smile.

"Brother Shan, what... what do you mean?" Hong Zhiyou felt something wasn't quite right.

"How about letting her and Lu Ming see each other.

"The age difference isn't much.

"Lu Ming is now a Lieutenant, and it shouldn't be a problem for him to climb to a field officer rank in the future, so it wouldn't be a disgrace to Xiaohui.

"Let's make our brotherhood even closer."

Lu Qiaoshan asked with a smile.

"No... closer brotherhood, Xiaohui calls you father, I call you brother, this relationship is impossible to figure out." Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"We'll figure out ours, they'll figure out theirs; isn't it good for you to have an extra nephew?

"I've asked your sister-in-law.

"She also thinks Lu Ming and Xiaohui are a match made in heaven.

"Now it just depends on your intention, brother."

Lu Qiaoshan tapped his fingers on the armrest, his shiny leather shoes swaying slightly.

"You are a Colonel, a future General.

"As for me, you've seen that there's not much hope for promotion, and my background, you know how my father is, I'm just afraid Xiaohui isn't good enough for Lu Ming and will delay his bright future."

Hong Zhiyou didn't refuse, only mentioning the difficulties.

"Brother, I don't like hearing you say that.

"Go back three generations, Nationalist government officials, including the Generalissimo's family, weren't they all farmers?

"As for the rank.

"Sigh, I've seen through it too; whatever official you are, without money, you're just a bird, and whatever official you are, even with power, you have to revolve around money.

"Looking at Jinhai, besides Brother Shan me and Chief Chen, in terms of ability, you are number one.

"In terms of money and business, no one can compare."

Lu Qiaoshan gave Hong Zhiyou a thumbs up and continued:

"If you think highly of Brother Shan, let's settle this matter."

Damn, so the Station Master is already out of his sight... Hong Zhiyou wore an easygoing smile: "Brother Shan, I have no problem, I'm just afraid Lu Ming and Xiaohui won't hit it off."

He really had no problem.

If Xiaohui could become Lu Qiaoshan's daughter-in-law, at least she could save her life when the machine guns suppress them later.

As for Lu Ming and Lu Qiaoshan, father and son, being treacherous little people who love to climb, that's true.

But in this day and age, among those in the Nationalist government wearing suits and ties, how many are good people?

Hong Zhiyou didn't have high requirements for his sister's partner.

Poor, short, powerless, none of that matters; anyway, he has plenty of means and money, as long as they are on the right track, even a pile of shit can be plated with gold.

In general, there is actually only one condition: be able to keep Xiaohui alive, and have food, drink, and fun.

Hong Zhiyou could even accept Liu Shan, let alone Lu Qiaoshan's son.

Xiaohui being with Lu Ming is better than parading in the streets with Guo Youliang every day and getting shot to death, right?

"My Lu Ming's appearance and culture are both okay.

"They will definitely hit it off.

"Let them meet and spend time together first, see if there's fate."

Lu Qiaoshan was overjoyed and very confident.

"Good, it's settled, time..."

Before Hong Zhiyou could finish, Lu Qiaoshan made the decision: "Tonight, I already arranged a plane for Lu Ming this morning, at this point he should already be at the Delong Inn."

"Also, I plan to transfer Lu Ming to the Intelligence Section, brother, can you put in a word for me with the Station Master?" After a pause, he leaned in and whispered.

"Understood, father and son on the battlefield, the Supervisory Group is short of people now.

"If we can catch a big fish this time, Lu Ming's promotion to Captain is just around the corner.

"Brother Shan, this is called 'fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields'."

Hong Zhiyou pointed at his chin, curled his lip, and smiled.

"Something like that.

"No matter what, he's your nephew, your future brother-in-law; help me out, Brother Shan will remember this, and will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."

Lu Qiaoshan patted his chest and said.

"This is nothing, leave it to me.

"Also, does Lu Ming like Chinese or Western food? I'll book a private room tonight to welcome him."

Hong Zhiyou knew Lu Qiaoshan was tight on money, so he took the initiative.

"Western food, the Lishun Hotel is fine, and you can sign the bill." Lu Qiaoshan smiled.

"Fine.

"Then it's settled." After Hong Zhiyou finished speaking, he stood up to leave.

"Wait.

"Brother, about this Qian Siming matter, the Station Master refuses to come forward, it's very hard for me to handle many things." Lu Qiaoshan stopped him again.

"Brother Shan, the Station Master is also in a difficult position.

"With the Confidentiality Bureau in charge, Li Ya will definitely intervene.

"Furthermore, the Three People's Principles Youth League has been abolished and merged, but the Cadre Reserve Bureau still exists; don't underestimate Li Ya's strength.

"If he gets involved, won't he just add to your trouble?

"Mainly, the Station Master is indeed getting on in years, and many things are beyond his power.

"Sun Chuanzhi, the Gendarmerie Command, can't they all take orders?

"You just take all the credit."

Hong Zhiyou decisively blocked it for Wu Jingzhong.

"Fine.

"It's just that Li Ya has already heard the wind, I'm afraid he won't stop trying to trip me up.

"I'm thinking, can we plant someone by Qian Siming's side.

"He has to eat, drink, and shit, right?

"This is an opportunity.

"It's just that Qian Siming has an attendant by his side, this person followed him back from North America, it's not easy to get rid of him."

Lu Qiaoshan frowned slightly.

"Brother, don't ask me about this, in case there's a slip-up, I can't bear the responsibility.

"I have things to do, I'm leaving."

Hong Zhiyou waved his hand quickly.

"No rush.

"Help me look at this batch of people.

"These are Qian Siming's former students, see who is more suitable."

Speaking of this, Lu Qiaoshan whispered:

"I'm afraid there are people here who have been to the cadre school, Jiang Jianfeng's or Li Ya's people, who will ruin my work."

Hong Zhiyou took it and scanned it; Liu Shan was among them.

Liu Shan was quite unlucky.

He had always been in contact with Li Ya's secret line, originally had a chance to go to the cadre school, but was replaced.

Among the seven people Lu Qiaoshan beat to death, one was Liu Shan's superior.

Liu Shan had now lost his connection and had faded into the crowd.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Hong Zhiyou.

He glanced over it roughly and put the photos on the table:

"Brother Shan, you choose slowly, my suggestion is to try to find the poorer ones; if they are poor, they don't have the money to use connections to get into the cadre school, and besides, they will fight for their lives when they work."

"This suggestion is good." Lu Qiaoshan nodded.

……

It was rare for the Station Master to go to a meeting, so Hong Zhiyou skipped work and went to Renji.

Fang Min was recovering well.

Her leg was lame, but her complexion had recovered very well.

Ji Qing knew she was Hong Zhiyou's 'meritorious official,' so everything was top-notch nourishment.

Over the past six months, she had nurtured Fang Min to be rosy-cheeked, increasingly plump and beautiful, and at the same time, she assisted Ji Qing in managing Renji in an orderly manner.

At the same time, she also became the new spokesperson for the Cherry brand.

Huge posters and graffiti appeared in the streets and alleys of Jinhai, absolutely star-like.

For these two girls, Hong Zhiyou was particular about sharing his favors equally.

Originally wanted to put them in one room.

Both were shy and refused to agree no matter what.

Hong Zhiyou could only take turns pampering them.

Room.

Hong Zhiyou, on his second visit, lay in Fang Min's arms, puffing on a cigarette and panting.

"Zhiyou, I... still want more." Fang Min acted like a spoiled child.

In the past, when Hong Zhiyou heard these three words, he definitely wouldn't have accepted defeat.

Now, though.

He was really a bit panicked.

Not only did he get dizzy after every time, but the key was that there was a long line waiting behind.

He had to go to Wanqiu's tonight, and in two days Zhou Gendi was bringing Hu Die over to ask for the second half of the script for 'Three Variations of Plum Blossoms,' which would definitely take half his life.

Also, Xiong Shihui was no longer in the Northeast, and with the Nationalist army losing most of the regions, the deer antler powder had long since run out.

Even if he lost it, there was nowhere to replenish it.

Relying solely on eating some seafood and oysters wasn't working either.

"Damn it.

"You two are like tigers, why do I feel like I'm here to do manual labor."

Hong Zhiyou pinched her chin and pretended to be angry.

"But I just like you, what can I do?"

"Restrain yourself.

"I'll buy a copy of 'Longevity and Health Mirror' for you to read tomorrow." Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"'Longevity and Health Mirror', what book is that?" Fang Min obviously hadn't heard of it.

"A book to help you quit this hobby of yours." Hong Zhiyou blinked and smiled wickedly.

"Hateful.

"Then you might as well let me die." Fang Min pinched him and giggled.

"By the way, Kang Zuowen's son came to find me today, saying his father was locked up in the Shuitun prison, is that true?" She asked.

"Of course.

"In the past, we took off his traitor hat.

"Now he's stirring up trouble again at the grain market on Liuwei Road, selling high-priced grain, and it just so happens the Nationalist government wants to catch an example to deter these unscrupulous merchants.

"It's him.

"He'll be tried next month and executed by firing squad."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

Actually, Kang Zuowen was also unlucky.

Jiang and Jiang Jianfeng couldn't do anything about big compradors like Kong and Song, so to appease public anger, they could only start with these unlucky ones.

Of course, it didn't have to be Kang Zuowen.

But who told him to be heartless and get targeted by Hong Zhiyou.

"Thank you." Fang Min was extremely grateful.

She knew Hong Zhiyou was venting his anger for her and retaliating against the Kang family.

"What's there to thank, you've helped me a lot over the years.

"Don't worry.

"I'll keep you satisfied."

Hong Zhiyou rose up and accompanied her for a while longer.

He stayed until three in the afternoon before driving back to the station.

Wu Jingzhong had just finished bathing in the reception room and came out in new clothes.

"Sigh.

"A bunch of chain-smokers, if they keep meeting like this, I'll be smoked to death before the war is over.

"From tomorrow on, except for meetings with the Generalissimo's special envoy, Zecheng will attend all of them."

Seeing Hong Zhiyou, he complained very unhappily.

Hong Zhiyou quickly closed the windows and doors and made warm tea for Wu Jingzhong.

"Teacher, Lu Qiaoshan wants to ask you to transfer Lu Ming from Suzhou," he said.

"Lu Ming? Lu Qiaoshan's son.

"Why, does he want to start a father-son act?"

Wu Jingzhong frowned slightly, his expression quite dissatisfied.

"Teacher, I think this is a good opportunity.

"In the past, when Boss Dai was here, why did the station insist on bringing family members? Wasn't it for better control and management?

"Lu Ming is Lu Qiaoshan's lifeblood.

"Since he offered himself, there's no reason for us not to grab him."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"Hmm.

"Makes some sense.

"Lu Ming is young and will inevitably make mistakes, and those will be the leverage to hold Lu Qiaoshan.

"This guy has been a bit full of himself lately.

"Not only did he move his office above my head, but he also got a gramophone, playing a couple of tunes from time to time and tapping his feet; this is a demonstration against me."

Wu Jingzhong blew on the tea flowers, took a few sips, and sneered.

"When the sky is crazy, there's rain; when a person is crazy, there's disaster; let him jump around for a few days first." Hong Zhiyou agreed repeatedly.

"That Professor Qian, Li Ya must be the main one.

"But you and Zecheng must have a contingency plan.

"No matter what, absolutely do not let him go to Wandao, otherwise, once Lu Qiaoshan gets his way, his tail will be even higher in the sky."

Wu Jingzhong pointed toward Yu Zecheng's office.

"But this person is very important to the Nationalist government.

"Dulles said that scientists are the high ground, scientists are the future, and scientists are long-term returns.

"In case he really gets taken away and falls into the hands of the Red forces, I'm afraid the Generalissimo will pursue it to the end, and it will be very troublesome then."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"Important, my foot.

"Zhu Jiahua has a plan to send three hundred excellent Nationalist government students to North America for study, and then establish an Academy of Sciences to research advanced weapons and atomic bombs like the Americans.

"He flew to Jingling several times in one month to seek an audience with the Generalissimo.

"In the end, the Generalissimo was annoyed and gave him 20,000 silver dollars to dismiss him, and that was the end of it.

"High ground, future, that's all bullshit; in the end, it's all about burning money.

"You say we struggle even to manufacture a screw, and you expect to build an atomic bomb? Isn't that nonsense?

"Why are the Americans willing to play this game and able to research atomic bombs?

"They are isolated overseas, have no worries about food or clothing, and naturally have spare money to supply these people for research.

"What about us? We're a mess.

"One Qian Siming more or less doesn't matter; the war will be fought the same way, it doesn't affect anything at all.

"So no one will really take him seriously.

"If they really cared, they would have sent an Education Minister to invite him for talks; this is clearly treating people like a joke, not taking them seriously."

Wu Jingzhong shook his head and analyzed it shrewdly.

"If you really can't get him away and find it troublesome, find a way to make this Qian Siming stay in Jinhai forever." He instructed.

"Also true.

"Then I'll discuss it with Director Yu."

Hong Zhiyou didn't dare to continue the conversation and walked outside.

He understood Old Wu.

Sometimes he is very stubborn and acts decisively.

If Wu Jingzhong determines that Qian Siming has no value, in order not to let Lu Qiaoshan show his face, he wouldn't even blink at the option of killing Qian Siming.

But Hong Zhiyou knew very well that high-end talents like Professor Qian are the cornerstone of future national defense and cannot be damaged in the slightest.

Arriving at Yu Zecheng's office.

He was shaking his clothes, "Accompanied the Station Master to a meeting, I smell like smoke, my senior sister will scold me when I get home."

"Let's talk about Professor Qian.

"The Station Master's intention is that we absolutely cannot let Lu Qiaoshan take him to Wandao; he leans toward killing Qian Siming.

"He can think of this, Li Ya will inevitably think of it too.

"This person is very important and must be transferred as soon as possible." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Indeed.

"Professor Qian risked his life, worked tirelessly, and is determined to return to his homeland.

"Clearly, he has achieved academic success and is determined to contribute to the national defense cause.

"The organization attaches great importance to Qian Siming; Line One clearly stated that we must transfer Professor Qian to the base area unharmed at all costs.

"But now, the area around Professor Qian's residence is full of Lu Qiaoshan's eyes and ears.

"Our people going in would undoubtedly be walking into a trap.

"I'm in a difficult position."

Yu Zecheng frowned.

"Don't worry, Lu Qiaoshan's son is coming.

"I reckon Old Lu will have to hand this matter to Lu Ming, he's already picking students.

"It's eight out of ten it will be Liu Shan.

"I'll find time to talk to Liu Shan, and then make the next step of the plan."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"How do you know he will choose Liu Shan?" Yu Zecheng was puzzled.

"Liu Shan pursued my sister.

"For a while, he was quite close to me, and Lu Qiaoshan will definitely choose Liu Shan to drag me into the water.

"After all, he knows my relationship with Ke Ke.

"And he wants Lu Ming to date Xiaohui.

"Reasonably, he wants me to get involved, firstly to share the blame, and secondly to deepen the 'brotherly' affection.

"Otherwise, with his cunning, he wouldn't need to show me the students' photos at all."

A trace of disdain appeared at the corner of Hong Zhiyou's mouth.

"If Liu Shan gets involved, in case the person is transferred away, Lu Qiaoshan will suspect you." Yu Zecheng frowned worriedly.

"He won't.

"I have the intelligence and photo data of Liu Shan's contact with Li Ya's informant.

"Furthermore, Li Ya will definitely bite him to death.

"As long as I don't get involved personally, Lu Qiaoshan won't find any flaws; he will only record the hatred against Li Ya.

"And, I estimate Li Ya will continue this line with Liu Shan.

"In this way, I will know Li Ya's movements.

"We can make a contingency plan."

Hong Zhiyou pondered and said.

"Hmm.

"I'll leave this to you.

"By the way, did you listen to the radio last night? The higher-ups highly praised the military supplies you transported over these two times and even commended you.

"Friendly person."

Yu Zecheng smiled.

"I'm sick, listening to your radio; in case someone tracks it to my house, I won't be able to explain it even if I'm right." Hong Zhiyou curled his lip.

"Enough.

"Lu Ming is going on a blind date with Xiaohui tonight, I still have to go arrange it."

He stood up and said.

"Zhiyou, Xiaohui is a good girl, you can't push her into the fire pit." Yu Zecheng quickly grabbed him, anxious.

"It's more dangerous to hang out with you guys.

"Sacrifice is a compliment to you, but not to her.

"I just want her to live.

"So, except for praying she doesn't like Lu Ming, everything else is off the table."

Hong Zhiyou was equally stubborn on this issue.

"Fine.

"Fine."

Yu Zecheng raised his head and said.

"Leaving."

Hong Zhiyou waved his hand and walked out.

"Sigh.

"It would be strange if Xiaohui could like Lu Ming." After Hong Zhiyou left, Yu Zecheng shook his head and muttered.

Over the past six months, Xiaohui had grown very rapidly.

During the last parade, not only was she not scared by the shooting, but she was tempered into steel, more like a qualified warrior.

She joined the Student Union.

And became a propaganda vanguard for the 'Mobile Corps Commander Newsletter.'

A large part of the big-character posters, slogans, and leaflets promoting Red ideology at the docks, schools, and alleys were organized by Xiaohui.

Yu Zecheng felt both gratified and sad watching it.

Xiaohui is his comrade.

But at the same time, her situation is very dangerous; as the Nationalist army suffers defeat after defeat, Jiang's control over public opinion is becoming more and more stringent, and the White Terror could descend at any time.

Once she really has an accident.

Yu Zecheng doesn't know how to answer to Hong Zhiyou.

Because he promised to exclude Xiaohui from that circle at all costs.

But Xiaohui's persistence, enthusiasm, and firmness ultimately made his efforts futile.
