Rebirth of the Rising Sun

This is the reality. When you are in power, everyone will look up to you, and even flatter you and curry favor with you. But once you fall, you are nothing, just like a passerby. When Feng Sizhe thought of this, he felt a little pain in his heart, which made him more cautious in doing things. He couldn't repeat such a mistake, otherwise, he believed that De Xingmin and others would most likely treat him like this. After all, their support for you is one thing, and whether they should help you when they really can't is another.

After Feng Sizhe and Zhu Zitong sat opposite each other, the latter spoke up soon. "Mr. Feng, please tell Brother Min and the others that my grandfather has passed away and my father is under investigation. The Zhu family is in trouble now. Please ask them to lend a hand no matter what for the sake of my former lover."

After saying this, Feng Sizhe sneered, "What a joke, it's already this time, and Zhu Zitong is still talking about the past feelings. Doesn't he know that people from Z are the least likely to talk about feelings? Sometimes, talking about feelings with others is equivalent to selling out yourself. When that day really comes, who will talk about feelings with you?"

Of course, these are just Feng Sizhe's inner thoughts. He still has to wait for Zhu Zitong to say what he wants, and before he says it, he will not express his opinion casually. And the less he expresses his opinion, the more intense Zhu Zitong's inner thoughts will be, and the more likely he is to speak according to his own thoughts.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, seeing that Feng Sizhe had no intention of speaking except to sneer, Zhu Zitong spoke again, "Mr. Feng, please tell Brother Min and the others that as long as they are willing to help, I don't want the 3 billion owed to me, all of it. I still want to ask them to help me for the sake of our good relationship in the past."

"Okay, Mr. Zhu, I think you may not have figured it out yet. This is not about the money. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has verified some of the letters reporting your father. There is evidence of some corruption and bribery in them. And you have always known that everyone is equal before the state law. Since your father has done these violations, you must think about the consequences. Do you think that if something goes wrong, you can solve the problem by paying some money? Let me ask you, where did all your money come from? Is it really earned by you? If it weren't for the relationships behind you, could you have made that money?" Feng Sizhe looked at Zhu Zitong and seemed to not see the importance of the problem very clearly, so he decided to pour some cold water on him. He wanted to talk about the problem in the most serious way and let Zhu Zitong understand that the problem he was facing now could not be solved by money at all. In other words, if it was really a problem that could be solved with money, then it would not be a problem in the eyes of these people.

"What? It's verified to be true? Humph! Then I want to ask those people who investigated my father, how many of them are clean. Yes, there are many innocent officials among the country's officials, but I think they definitely should not be the majority. Especially those people who were ordered to investigate my father this time, were simply driven by certain people, so they themselves are not clean. Using dirty people to investigate my father, how can the result be clean?" Zhu Zitong complained at this moment, as if he was very wronged.

"Okay, why are you feeling aggrieved? Let me ask you, Zhu Zitong, what have you not eaten, played, sat on, and enjoyed in these years? In theory, your life has been very wonderful. Many people live for several years and still cannot get one percent or one tenth of what you enjoy now. So I think, even if you die now, you would have gained something." Feng Sizhe did not want to argue with the other party. In fact, for an official in office, it is better not to say such words if possible. Often, if you say something just to make you feel good, the consequences can be disastrous when you look back. He would never make such a low-level mistake.

"What? Mr. Feng, what do you mean? You said I will die?" After hearing this, Zhu Zitong's face was stunned. It was obvious that he had never thought about such a profound question.

"What? Do you think this is impossible?" Feng Sizhe asked, staring into Zhu Zitong's eyes.

This sentence was said so formally that Zhu Zitong was even more frightened. "Please... please teach me, Master Feng."

"Okay, since you still don't understand, I might as well be a good person and teach you. Let me ask you, is your father being investigated this time because someone instructed him to do so?" Feng Sizhe began to ask questions.

"Yes." Zhu Zitong nodded. It was obvious. Wen Chaoyi, the eldest of the Wen family, who was parachuted in from Kyoto and became the secretary of the Jingu Municipal Party Committee, had always wanted to occupy Jingu's resources. However, Zhu Liangmin, who had been developing in Jingu for a long time, undoubtedly became the first mountain that hindered his execution of the plan. When Zhu Lao was not around before, the Wen family could not do anything. If Zhu Lao passed away, what were they waiting for? It was said that this time the Wen family gave the Lu family a lot of benefits and promised to split the benefits in half, so that the Lu family would take action. If it weren't for the joint efforts of these two powerful families, I'm afraid Zhu Liangmin wouldn't have run into problems so quickly. Think about it, who is the current secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection? If he had said that he wanted to investigate thoroughly, the result would have been there long ago.

Seeing that Zhu Zitong's attitude was not bad, Feng Sizhe continued to ask, "The second question is, is this person who wants to kill your Zhu family very powerful? At least your Zhu family can't stand it, and even many of your previous relationships can't stand it."

Hearing this question, Zhu Zitong nodded again, thinking, isn't this nonsense? If it was just a few hooligans looking for trouble, then he could find someone to deal with it. Why did it involve his father? The fact that the problem involved his father himself showed that the problem was not small, otherwise he would not risk 3 billion to ask De Xingmin for help.

"Okay, then let's move on to the third question. These people are so powerful. Is their purpose to capture your father and deal with him according to national laws and party discipline?"

"That should be it." Zhu Zitong was not very clear about this question, but he knew that if his father didn't make it well this time, he would definitely have to spend a few years in jail.

"The fourth question is, if your father was really severely punished, would you be very unwilling to accept this? As a son, are you thinking about avenging your father?" Feng Sizhe continued to ask. Here came the key question, and he had to ask it quickly in order to find the most truthful answer from Zhu Zitong, not giving him time to imagine.

Upon hearing this question, Zhu Zitong's masculine blood burst out, "Of course, I must avenge my father. In order to support me over the years, my father has done many things that go against his conscience. He is such a father, and now that something has happened, how can I, as a son, bear to do nothing?"

"Okay, now comes the fifth question. Think about it, if your opponents know that you will have such thoughts, will they wait for you to take revenge, or will they just get rid of you quietly to eliminate permanent troubles? And if you really have an accident, think about how your father will be fine. In order to solve the problem once and for all, they are afraid that I will come out and cause trouble for them. It is conceivable that your father will not be long before he meets your grandfather." Feng Sizhe said everything he wanted to say in one breath. He believed that his way of asking would definitely make Zhu Zitong realize something.

"Ah!" Zhu Zitong was stunned after hearing this. To be honest, he had never thought about this problem. In his opinion, the worst thing that could happen was that his father would be sentenced to a few years in prison, and the doctor would not be sentenced. Although there were exceptions, think about it, everyone used to eat from the same pot, so we should give some face, right? There was no need to really force people to death. But now after listening to Feng Sizhe's words, he did feel that he was still too naive, and perhaps the outcome of the matter would be much worse than he imagined.

"They... they won't really attack me, right?" Zhu Zitong thought for a while and tried to comfort himself.

"Why won't they attack you? I think you should ask those people about this question and see if they have any sympathy, or try to consider it from their perspective. If you were making the decision, would you spare the only young man in the family who has no trouble and still has some ability and means?" Feng Sizhe didn't want to explain anything because the facts were obvious.

"This..." Zhu Zitong was speechless after hearing this question. After about half a minute, he suddenly came to his senses and knelt down in front of Feng Sizhe. "Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng, please save me."

"Okay, don't do that in front of me. Get up." Seeing Zhu Zitong's attitude change drastically, Feng Sizhe knew that there was a high chance that things would turn around.

"No, if you don't agree to save me, I will die here on my knees." Zhu Zitong said firmly.

"Get up right now. If you don't, I really won't save you." This was what Feng Sizhe hated to see the most. A man's knees are made of gold. He can kneel to the sky above, to the earth below, and to his parents in between. But the only thing he cannot do is kneel down and beg others. This is a sign of lack of dignity.

After Feng Sizhe said this, Zhu Zitong really stood up immediately. He had heard it clearly. If he didn't stand up, the other party would really not save him, which meant that the other party came to save him. "Mr. Feng, please tell me. As long as it can keep my son and I safe, I will do whatever you ask for without blinking an eye."

"Okay, remember this. First, saving your father is no small matter. There are many people watching over you, so it's very troublesome to do. Fortunately, this matter has not been made public yet, so the impact is not very wide. But we can't be careless. I checked the information. Doesn't your father have stomach problems? Then you can make a fuss about this. Take your father's medical records and visit the heads of Kyoto and cry to them."
