Chapter 133: Old Things
Recalling that 20 years ago, the name Li Lu was unknown to everyone in the Wehrmacht, and no one was afraid of it. But as time went by, after Li Lu's comeback, very few people would fear him.
That's because in the eyes of more and more people, Li Lu has reached a height that they can't perceive and can't guess. It's like a farmer who has a great fear of the village cadres, for fear that one night the village cadres will rush into the house with someone and raid their own women. But he would not have a fear of the county party secretary and county magistrate, let alone a higher level.
People are afraid of ghosts, but they are not afraid of God.
That's it.
As a result, what everyone is looking at and everyone is knowing more and more is Li Lu's henchmen and cadres, as well as a large number of old subordinates below.
Among these people, Hu Zhentian's position is not the highest, or even low, and is not even known. Indeed, the director of the Office of the Minister of Intelligence and the chief of the Special Operations Section was only a lieutenant colonel and deputy regiment in terms of rank, and Hu Zhentian was such a small role back then.
However, Li Lu's opponents and even the people below had great fear of this Section Chief Hu. The opponents were afraid, and no one knew that one day Hu Zhentian would come to the door with someone from Jinyiwei, which was obviously not a door-to-door gift. The larger group of officers who follow Li Lu below will be worried about whether Section Chief Hu will launch an investigation against him.
The source of fear is not only the identity of the intelligence department, but also the trust and power bestowed by Li Lu. For a long time, Hu Zhentian was actually the spokesman for Li Lu, who was the first vice minister of the Ministry of Intelligence at the time.
What Hu Zhentian said was what Li Lu meant.
Now, Hu Zhentian's son has come to the door, who would believe that this is his own behavior?
Although Xu Zeli changed jobs earlier than Qin Guohua, she still has some of her own sensitivity to certain things.
That's why she was so worriedβshe knew what his husband had done to Li Lu back then.
Just imagine, if Li Lu's son knew such a thing, would he let them go lightly and let them go? Obviously, he already knew.
Xu Zeli sighed slowly and deeply, "It's time to come." β
Qin Guohua turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes were cold, and said, "Okay, don't sigh for a long time, you can rest, I'll go to the study." β
After that, he walked out.
Xu Zeli stood up and called Qin Guohua, "Old Qin." β
Qin Guohua stood still and turned around.
"Lao Qin, it's important to keep the child, and I don't want anything else. Xu Zeli's eyes flashed with sparkle and said.
Nodding slowly, Qin Guohua's tone softened a lot, "Sleep." β
Back in the study, Qin Guohua sat on the rattan chair, his eyes falling on the landline. He now has two options, one is to call, and the other is to wait for a call. There is a fundamental difference between the two, and different choices determine different directions. It is true that just like the phone call he received just now, it is absolutely impossible for his Qin family to be able to develop to this point in Nangang for a few decades, and it is absolutely impossible for no one in the sky.
What is Southport?
This is the base and base camp of Lao Li's family for decades. It's just that the old Li family, which is deep in the roots, has never been known to outsiders, and even those in the bureau may not know it.
It can be seen from this that if it weren't for the strong support of someone in the sky, no matter how much the Qin family tossed, it would not be on the scale it is today.
And indeed, in the imperial capital at this moment, some people sat together because of this matter.
It's still the same courtyard, but it's no longer a patio, it's in the living room. Two people, one of them wears gold-wire glasses, his figure is slightly thin, and he is handsome, and the other is of ordinary medium stature, and the old man in the market is about fifty years old. These two, the one with gold wire glasses is called Minister Zheng, and the old man in the market is called Political Commissar Yang.
The old-fashioned tungsten lamp was lit in the living room, Commissar Yang was making tea slowly, and Minister Zheng took off his glasses and slowly wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
Political Commissar Yang poured a cup of tea, picked it up with a clip and put it in front of Minister Zheng, and smiled, "Anxious?"
Minister Zheng paused to wipe his sweat, simply stopped wiping it, and said, "You're not in a hurry?"
"What am I anxious about, his Qin Guohua's life and death have nothing to do with me. Political Commissar Yang paused as he picked up the teacup, and after saying this, he slowly sipped the tea.
Pulling the corners of his mouth and smiling, Minister Zheng put on his gold-wire glasses, "I'm afraid they won't think so." β
"They?" Commissar Yang put down the teacup and leaned back on the back of the chair, "Who are you talking about?
"Don't pretend to be Lao Yang here, the old Li family looks like they don't care about the world, do you think I'm referring to them?" Minister Zheng snorted lightly, "Don't take it seriously, we all underestimate that kid." β
"yes. β
Political Commissar Yang sighed, took out a cigarette, and motioned to Minister Zheng, Minister Zheng waved his hand, Political Commissar Yang lit one and smoked, and spit out a few smoke rings, "I really underestimated that kid." However, the two descendants of the Qin family are really in ruins, and Qin Guohua's discipline is not in place. β
"Let's solve the problem, it's useless to talk about it. Minister Zheng changed to a more comfortable position.
Shaking his head, Political Commissar Yang put away his leisurely expression, or rather, the so-called leisurely was actually made deliberately. He said, "It's hard for me to meddle in the intelligence system. Now in this shape, the eyes up and down are staring. Lao Zheng, it is more appropriate for you to ask about the intelligence system in the General Federation. β
Minister Zheng squinted at Political Commissar Yang and said lightly, "What you say, can I understand that you are shirking." β
Commissar Yang smiled and spread his hands, "It doesn't matter. You can understand it that way. β
With a snort, Minister Zheng said coldly: "Don't forget, you were Li Lu's confidential secretary back then, and Li Mai hated you more than others." β
"You mean, Li Mai will be polite to you, the person who broke into the saber regiment and directly dealt a blow to Li Lu?" Political Commissar Yang responded without showing weakness, and the words changed, "Moreover, among the eleven people that Li Lu hit back then, you were the only one who survived. Lao Zheng, don't forget, some people are worried about this. β
Smiling coldly, Minister Zheng said, "That's my life." You don't have to dig up to what happened 20 years ago, it doesn't make sense. The current situation is that Li Mai grabbed the sore foot of the Qin family and attacked violently. There is a crisis in our bridgehead in Nangang. β
As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, if you think it's okay with you, that's fine, I'll report back to the top truthfully." β
"Okay Lao Zheng, you're still like this for decades. Political Commissar Yang extinguished the cigarette butt, "Don't you just want me to come up with an idea." I can tell you my opinion. β
Minister Zheng looked at him lightly and did not speak.
After drinking some tea, Political Commissar Yang said in a deep voice, "The situation is indeed not optimistic, Hu Zhentian's son Hu Wenbing went to the Qin family in a military uniform, so there is no need to say much about the meaning." In my opinion, there are two options now. β
"The first is to fully support the Qin family and keep this bridgehead. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy, and you can also give Li Mai a little color. But I'm not optimistic. β
"The second is to decisively cut off the connection with the Qin family and stay out of the matter. The bridgehead of the South Harbor will be lost, but it will not be affected. Losing the pawn to protect the car, I tend to this coping strategy. β
Minister Zheng frowned, "With our covert support, the Qin family will not be able to fight Li Mai? β
"Whether you believe it or not, all in all, the Qin family is finished this time. Political Commissar Yang said slowly, "You have ignored two points, one is the character of Li Mai, and the other is the person behind Li Mai. β
Minister Zheng's eyes narrowed, "Do you mean those gentlemen around him?"
Shaking his head, Political Commissar Yang's voice suddenly lowered very low, "I received news that Hu Zhentian is going to be the deputy chief and the minister of intelligence at the same time. β
Minister Zheng was stunned for a moment, and his pupils subconsciously dilated.
Commissar Yang continued, "The current situation is a bit weird, so it is the best strategy to stay put. I advise you not to be too positive lately, it won't do you any good. β
What a person Minister Zheng is, he read a lot of information in an instant. What kind of person is Hu Zhentian, Li Lu's die-hard loyalist! Suddenly there was news that he was going to take up such an important position, and he was also the head of Jinyiwei, so the amount of information was too rich.
Suddenly, he suddenly thought, could it be that Li Lu really didn't die?
"Old Yang, you say, is it possible that he is still alive?" Minister Zheng pondered for a while, and said, his heart suddenly burst out for no reason.
Political Commissar Yang's face also stiffened, and only he knew what he felt in his heart for a moment, and he said hesitantly, "Alive...... Unlikely. There has been no news for twenty years, if they are alive, there will definitely be rumors, and their old Li family will not be what it is now. β
As he spoke, he shook his head resolutely, "It's impossible to be alive." β
Minister Zheng's heart slowly relaxed with this sentence, although he knew that Political Commissar Yang's words were also based on his own analysis and judgment, but at this time, such a sentence can indeed make people feel a lot more relieved.
"That's right. If he was still alive, he would definitely not watch the old Li family fall apart into what it is now. Minister Zheng nodded, and then said, "The Qin family, really, just let it go?"
Political Commissar Yang glanced at him, "You just reported to the top, and the estimate you got is also such an instruction." β
Minister Zheng was still hesitating, he was worried that the Qin family would not be able to withstand this blow and fall, so that their business in Nangang over the years would be in vain, but he was even more worried that he would be caught up in it.
After pondering for a while, Political Commissar Yang said again, "The news that Hu Zhentian has been appointed as the deputy chief is accurate, he has come out, don't you understand." Listen to me, wait and see for a while, and don't take it lightly. β
Minister Zheng sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly......
