Rebirth of the Rising Sun

After saying these words, Guo Zhi turned around and walked away. He walked to the door and started to change his slippers into his own leather shoes.

Yuan Sheng wanted to understand what happened before making a decision, but he didn't expect Guo Zhi to be so impatient that he turned around and left without waiting for him to ask anything. If he really let him go, he would go back to his father and complain, saying that he was bullied in Zhongzhou and came to his uncle Yuan, but he ignored him. Wouldn't that be bad? If he was not careful, the other party might find a chance to make things difficult for him.

"Hey, Xiaozhi, don't be so anxious. Look at you, young people are always too impatient. Didn't your Uncle Yuan say he doesn't care? How about this, as long as you are right in this matter, I will definitely seek justice for you, what do you think?" After thinking it over, Yuan Sheng was forced to make certain promises. Although this promise had a prerequisite that Guo Zhi must be right, it was actually a promise. This way, when he knew that his daughter was involved, he would not be able to say anything about regret or reconciliation.

Guo Zhi was waiting for Yuan Sheng to say this, and now he saw that he actually said this. He let out a long breath, then turned around and came to Yuan Sheng, "Uncle Yuan, of course I am right in this matter, otherwise why would I want to give an explanation, the fact is that this is..."

Guo Zhi recounted in detail what happened to him in the provincial party committee guesthouse that morning.

Yuan Sheng had been listening attentively. When he heard that the police had gone to the scene and were forcibly conducting a personal search on Guo Zhi without a search warrant, he couldn't help but get angry. "What nonsense! What are these police doing? Who gave them this power? Who allowed them to break the law like this? People like this knowingly breaking the law should be punished even more severely. Xiao Zhi, don't worry. Once I find out the result of this matter, I will definitely punish the police who were involved in it. What do you think?"

"Haha, there's no need for Uncle Yuan to investigate anymore. I have already found out who did it. I came here today just to report to Uncle Yuan. Of course, if you think it's difficult and awkward for you to punish the murderer behind the scenes, then I can directly ask my father to send someone from the Ministry of Public Security." Guo Zhijian saw that even Yuan Sheng was indignant after hearing what happened. He could imagine how excessive Yuan Meimei and Yu Qiang had gone in this matter. Otherwise, why would their fathers have such reactions after hearing what happened?

"Oh, Xiaozhi, have you found out who the murderer is? It doesn't matter, just tell me. No matter which of my subordinates, I will definitely enforce the law and punish them severely." Yuan Sheng heard Guo Zhi say this, and thought that the person behind this incident might be a senior official in the Zhongzhou Provincial Public Security System. However, in order not to offend the son of Deputy Minister Guo, it would be okay to use one of his subordinates to take the blame. You must know that there is an unwritten rule in the officialdom, that is, superiors cannot be offended, otherwise their future development will be frustrated. On the contrary, subordinates are used to take the blame and betray. In comparison, he certainly knows who to sacrifice and who to protect, so he said what he said now.

Yuan Sheng thought that he had a sense of righteousness when he said this, but he didn't know that his sense of justice that had just accumulated or pretended disappeared as soon as Guo Zhi said the next sentence. It was not for anything else, but because Guo Zhi only said one sentence, "Uncle Yuan, in fact, the mastermind behind this is none other than your beloved daughter, Miss Yuan Meimei."

"No matter who it is, I will deal with it according to the law, even if it is my beloved daughter..." Originally, Yuan Sheng wanted to say his favorite general, thinking that in order not to offend Guo Zhi, or Guo Zhilong, it would be okay to give up a favorite general. In this day and age, as long as you have power, it is not a matter of minutes to find a trusted general. The Republic lacks everything, and the most lacking thing is talent, or people. As the couplet says, if you are said to be capable, then you are capable, and if you are said to be not capable, then you are not capable. Whether the people under your command are capable or not is ultimately a matter of your own words, right?

But originally, everything was fine, but because of this love, it was not a general and a woman, which made Yuan Sheng shut up. After two seconds, he just reacted, "What? Are you saying that this was done by Meimei? Is that so?"

"That's right, it was Miss Yuan who did it. I have the testimony provided by the police at that time. I will dare to say this no matter how the lawsuit goes." Seeing that Yuan Sheng finally came to his senses, Guo Zhi couldn't help but smile in his heart. He really liked to see this kind of contrasting expressions on the officials' faces. They were speaking righteously just now, but when the incident happened to them, they looked stunned and at a loss, which was really funny.

Guo Zhi watched Yuan Sheng's expression change while he told him that he had a backup plan. This made Yuan Sheng very embarrassed.

If this incident was really done by one of his blind subordinates, then in order to calm the situation, he could really hand this person over. After all, he was just a subordinate. He could promote another person to a vacant position, so there would be no loss. But if it was his own daughter, it would be different. After all, he only had one daughter. If he really handed his daughter over, it would be a big loss.

"Well... Xiaozhi, you see your sister Meimei is young and ignorant. She must have been instigated by someone to do this. I think if she knew your identity, she would definitely not do this. Do you think for the sake of your uncle Yuan, should we just let this matter go? Then I owe you a favor, okay? If you need anything else in the future, I will definitely help you solve it. What do you think?" In order to protect his daughter, Yuan Sheng really found it difficult. He had to lower his status in front of his juniors and say such words.

"No, didn't Uncle Yuan just say that no matter who is involved, you will investigate it thoroughly and punish severely? It's only been a few minutes and your tone has changed. What's going on? How can you make me believe what you say? Besides, I am a person of status. If I go back to Kyoto and let people know about the grievances I suffered in Zhongzhou, I don't know how others will look at me. So let's handle this matter impartially." Guo Zhi would certainly not let Yuan Sheng let him go just because of a few words. If that happened, the purpose of his visit today would not be achieved.

Hearing Guo Zhi reject him like this, Yuan Sheng was very angry. He thought to himself, where do you get the face from when you are a little kid? The so-called face you have is nothing more than what your father gave you. And yet you are still pretending to be so in front of me.

Of course, these thoughts in his heart were just thoughts, he couldn't really say them out loud. "Hey, Xiaozhi, what can I say? Your Uncle Yuan has only this one daughter. If you really ask me to hand her over, even if I agree, will your aunt agree? She will fight me to the death. So for the happiness of Uncle Yuan's family, can you give in a little and not hold him responsible? How about this, I'll go back and choose a big hotel to set up a table for you, and then let Meimei apologize to you in public, so that you can save face, and when you return to Kyoto, your friends won't say anything. What do you think?"

Yuan Sheng's idea was not bad, at least it gave Guo Zhi enough face. Of course, if it weren't for Feng Sizhe's relationship, Guo Zhi wouldn't say anything if the matter could be resolved in this way. After all, the other party was not really coming for him. Besides, it's better to look at the face of the Buddha than the monk. Yuan Sheng is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Zhongzhou Provincial Party Committee. Like his father, he is a deputy ministerial-level cadre. But because of Feng Sizhe's relationship, this matter could not be resolved in this way.

"Hey, Uncle Yuan, how should I tell you? I have already investigated this matter. It was not only done by Yuan Meimei, but also by that Yu Qiang. They were a partnership in this matter. Although I don't know why they did this to me, if I let Meimei go now, what about Yu Qiang? You also know that my father has a friendship with Uncle Yuan, so this matter can be dropped. But Yu Guangming and my father don't have much to do with each other. If this matter is resolved like this, when it spreads back to Kyoto, people might think that my father is afraid of that old guy Yu Guangming. If so, not only will my face be lost, but my father's face will also be lost. That is not a trivial matter. So I'm afraid the solution you just mentioned won't work." Guo Zhi was at a loss. He had no choice but to bring up his father, making it clear that this matter must be explained, otherwise the Guo family would lose face.

Yuan Sheng didn't expect that not only his daughter was involved in this matter, but even Yu Qiang was involved. Alas, you learn from who you are. His daughter was originally a good person, but unfortunately she made friends with someone like Yu Qiang, so it was natural that she would learn bad things very quickly and easily.

In fact, this is also the thought of parents all over the world. They all think that their children are good people, and when their children have problems or mistakes, they are accustomed to push the blame to others. Yuan Sheng is making such a mistake now.
