Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1: Finale ()

The call came at nearly nine o'clock, which was the time limit. Lu Shaohua had basically got the answer, but he was still not very reassured before he heard the words from Mr. Deng's mouth. So when the phone rang, Lu Shaohua picked up the phone immediately, put the receiver to his ear, and listened carefully.

It was indeed true that the call was from Elder Deng, but Elder Deng did not directly state the result. Instead, he said calmly, "Turn on the TV now, tune to CCTV, and watch it yourself. We'll talk about it later."

Lu Shaohua did not hang up the TV. Instead, he turned on the TV as Deng Lao had instructed, tuned to CCTV-1, and started watching a news story.

The news on TV was very simple. It was reporting that a senior official had been placed under disciplinary supervision by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. The identity of this senior official was the same person that Lu Shaohua had just obtained from Chen Guobang, which meant that the top leaders had taken action.

After reading the news, Lu Shaohua turned off the TV. He had already gotten the result, and said to Deng Lao on the other end of the phone, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

"Ah!" Elder Deng sighed, and then said, "If it weren't for your Phoenix Group, a country's big resident insect would still be destroying the country's interests. It shouldn't be you who should say thank you, but the country. That's why I said that."

This sentence made Lu Shaohua completely curious. His first reaction was that there was something fishy going on, so he asked curiously, "Does that person have a dirty background?"

"He is not only unclean, but he is no different from a traitor to his country." Deng Lao became more and more excited as he spoke. "He has connections with overseas spy organizations and has sold national intelligence to them many times. If it weren't for the fact that your Phoenix Group was exposed this time, we would not have been able to find out the truth if we had investigated thoroughly!"

Lu Shaohua already knew the reason of the matter, but he did not ask any further questions because he knew that asking would not lead to any results. After all, the things involved needed to be kept confidential, and even if Mr. Deng knew, he would not tell him.

Besides, whether that person was dead or alive was none of his business, so he changed the subject and asked, "What about the people behind Mayor He?"

The real mastermind behind the scenes has fallen. As the second target, Lu Shaohua still needs some attention.

"He didn't commit any big mistake, but now he has been transferred to a sinecure because of this incident. Well, it's dispensable, so it can be considered a demotion. You should be satisfied with that, right?" Old Deng said helplessly.

Both of them were high-ranking officials of the country and had the opportunity to aspire to the pinnacle of national power. Now they were implicated in the affairs of the Phoenix Group and both were removed from office. We won’t mention that one of them betrayed the country, but one of them was a good official, but he was too greedy and was also removed from office in the end, which made Mr. Deng feel very sorry.

As for Lu Shaohua, being transferred from an idle position and being demoted no longer posed a threat to him, and he was not dissatisfied. "Okay, the gift I promised will be delivered tomorrow."

"Yeah." Deng Lao responded, and at the same time he was looking forward to it. The gift Lu Shaohua sent must be something special, so he asked. "Can you tell me what the gift is?"

"Something that enhances military strength." Lu Shaohua thought that Deng would know about it anyway, so it would be the same whether he said it earlier or later. It would be useless if he said it now.

"Well, it's really a great gift." Deng Lao's tone became much higher, not as low as before, and then he said with some hesitation, "This incident involves a lot of people. Well, that person is also involved with foreign spy organizations. Although it is being investigated now, more than a dozen people have slowly surfaced. If we continue to investigate, more people may be involved. So, I hope this matter will be forgotten."

These words were just Deng Lao's prelude. He paused for a moment before saying what he wanted to say next. "The political situation has been greatly shaken. I think we should just let this matter go. Shenzhen is at an important stage of development now, so we can't afford to mess up."

Deng is always hinting at something.

Lu Shaohua was not a fool, he naturally knew what Deng Lao was hinting at, it was nothing more than the officialdom problems in Shenzhen. There were three departments involved in the joint inspection, the heads of the second department of the three departments were from Zeng's faction, and one department belonged to the neutral faction, did not help anyone, and only acted according to the mood of the higher-ups.

But the fact that the boss is one of their own does not mean that the entire department is made up of their own people. You have to know that a department has more than one deputy. According to information reported back by Chen Guobang's investigation, there is a deputy in each of the three departments participating in the joint inspection who is secretly doing trouble.

What Mr. Deng was hinting to Lu Shaohua was that he should just let it go and not make any more trouble, that is, not to take action against the deputies of the three departments. But would Lu Shaohua agree to that?

No! This was Lu Shaohua's answer. Lu Shaohua would not agree. As he said, if you don't remove the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze. Lu Shaohua would not let it go. But now the biggest problem has been solved. Lu Shaohua's tone is not as tough as yesterday. He said softly. "Grandpa, none of the people who can come to Phoenix Group to cause trouble are good officials. Getting rid of them is getting rid of the two cancers of the country. In addition, my Phoenix Group will remain in Phoenix Group Shenzhen in the future. With those people, it is impossible to have peace. Therefore, they must be eliminated and cannot be left."

Although Lu Shaohua's tone was very tactful, Deng Lao still really understood Lu Shaohua's determination. He sighed helplessly and said, "Well, you can do whatever you want."

Old Deng agreed, and Lu Shaohua felt better. After all, the matter had come to this point and the top management had done as he requested. But if Lu Shaohua was as tough as he was yesterday, it would seem that he was taking things too far.

But now that Elder Deng has agreed, Lu Shaohua can relax a lot and act according to his way, and he quickly made a promise. "Don't worry, I will control everything and try not to make a big fuss."

"Ah."

The matter can be considered to have come to an end at this point, but for Lu Shaohua, this matter is not over yet. There is still one step left. Yes, what is missing is an ending, which is also the last link in the revenge action, to eliminate the last person who is related to this matter.

First of all, Lu Shaohua set his sights on the deputy provincial governor who came to cause trouble. Lu Shaohua had already asked Chen Guobang to investigate this man's background, and also found a lot of evidence of his violations and corruption. He could not be kept.

Another one is the deputies of the three departments. Lu Shaohua regards them as the second target.

Do it as soon as you think of it, this is Lu Shaohua's style of doing things, but the current situation is very tense, Lu Shaohua did not deal with the matter immediately, but called Chu Lei first.

The call went through, and Lu Shaohua didn't waste any time talking. He went straight to the point and said, "The matter has been resolved. We can stop preparing for the withdrawal of investment and resume normal operations."

The top management has done what Lu Shaohua asked. What else does Lu Shaohua have to say? The withdrawal of capital was just talk and no real action was taken. Now that everything is calm, it is time to resume normal operations, otherwise there will be real losses.

"Okay." Chu Lei's tone was very high. He had been unable to eat or sleep for some time. Now he had finally calmed down. As the CEO, he was relieved from the bottom of his heart. However, Phoenix Group had announced the withdrawal of investment after all. Now it was not withdrawing, which seemed unreasonable. "What do you say to the outside world?"

"Just find an excuse." Lu Shaohua said indifferently.

The outside world knows the reason why Phoenix Group withdrew its investment. Now, as long as they make up an excuse, it will not be difficult for people outside to guess that the Phoenix Group’s problem has been resolved, and there is no need to explain any more.

"I understand." Chu Lei responded.

"Okay, go and get busy." After saying that, Lu Shaohua hung up the phone.

After finishing the call with Chu Lei, Lu Shaohua did not stop and continued to call, but the target was changed to Chen Guobang.

Chen Guobang has information about the intelligence network, and if Lu Shaohua wants to take revenge, he needs to do it through him, so the moment the phone was connected, Lu Shaohua began to tell him his plan.

"Brother! Submit the evidence in your hands to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and let them handle it." After speaking, Lu Shaohua paused and continued, "As for the evidence of the vice governor, find a way to send it to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and let them handle it as well. Also, keep an eye on it after submitting it and see what the result is."

According to Chen Guobang's estimation, if the evidence in his hands was handed over to the Discipline Inspection Commission, the possibility of the people there getting out of prison would be almost zero, because they had committed too many crimes, enough to make them spend the rest of their lives in prison.

It was for this reason that Lu Shaohua handed the evidence to the Discipline Inspection Commission with confidence. However, he did not just leave it alone. He had to keep an eye on it to see if the Discipline Inspection Commission would handle the matter. If not, Lu Shaohua would use his own methods.

"Okay, I'll arrange someone to do it now." Chen Guobang doesn't like to talk nonsense or procrastinate, so he agreed.

"Okay." Lu Shaohua responded in a deep voice, and then continued, "There is one more thing, which is to monitor the son of the vice governor. Well, we need to keep an eye on his whereabouts 24 hours a day and don't let him escape our sight. I will arrange how to deal with it."

Lu Shaohua hates this kind of people the most. Now he is blackmailing the Phoenix Group. Lu Shaohua can no longer tolerate it. It is imperative to get rid of him.

"This person has never left our sight, but he left by plane earlier and went to the United States. It seems that he heard some rumors." Chen Guobang said coldly, as if the son of a vice governor was an insignificant person to him.

"He went to America?" Lu Shaohua was stunned for a moment, then he was relieved and said something without thinking. "It's better if he goes to America."

Yes, it is better to go abroad, it will be more convenient for Lu Shaohua to do things...
