After Mr. Zhao returned home, he summoned his two sons to discuss countermeasures.

There are only a few days until the two sessions, and the candidates for each position have basically been settled.Some families that were full of expectations but failed were naturally unwilling to fail, and were prone to do extreme things. What happened to Old Li's family is the best example.

His boss, Zhao Mingde, has a chance to be promoted this time, so he is naturally a thorn in the side of some people. They have to be careful and keep a low profile to prevent accidents.

"How is Xingguo now?" Hearing that his father had just returned from the hospital, Zhao Mingde asked worriedly.

The Li family was his most loyal ally, so he naturally didn't want anything to happen to Li Xingguo, whether it was now or in the future.

"He was still unconscious when I came back, but old man Li has listened to my advice and went to pick up Xiao Xia, so it seems that the problem is not serious." The old man replied indifferently.

"Dad, why did you introduce Xiao Xia to the Li family?" Zhao Mingkang was a little surprised.

This is the biggest heritage of my family. No matter how good the relationship with the Li family is, they can't share this secret, right?

"It's about this time, can I bear to watch old man Li send a white-haired man to a black-haired man?" The old man sighed and said helplessly.

For a strange person like Xiao Xia, anyone would want to dominate him, how could he be willing to let others know?

But the Li family is different. Now that their son is not in charge, the Li family cannot lose their vote.In the future, when his son goes to the Government Affairs Council, Li Xingguo's support in the army is indispensable. The closer the two families go, the closer the relationship will be. So after thinking twice, the old man still recommended Xiaoxia to the Li family.

"Oh." Zhao Mingkang thought for a while, and also felt the helplessness of his old father.

Fortunately, Xiao Xia has this relationship with Xiao Si, and no one else can snatch it away even if they want to.

"What's going on with the Sun family this time?" Every family has dark men who have infiltrated into the other's camp. Although they can't get the most important information, some secrets that ordinary people can't get can still be obtained as quickly as possible.

"I didn't get any useful information." Zhao Mingde shook his head. "Recently, the Sun family has been very low-key. Maybe they also know that we are suspicious of them? So they don't want to reveal the truth to us."

"The more low-key you are, the more it means that the Sun family is behind these things." The old man said dismissively. "Old man Sun is an unreasonable and troublesome person, how could he be so honest and a liar?"

"But you can't find evidence?" In the recent events, they all aimed at the Sun family, but there was nothing they could do.

"Forget it, let's not mention the Sun family." The old man waved his hand and let out a heavy breath. "The most important thing now is that we have to spend these few days in peace. After the two sessions are over, we will settle the matter with the Sun family slowly."

"Dad said yes." Zhao Mingde nodded in response. "We don't have to care about this day or two."

It's really not a good time to do it now.

Maybe there are a few families who wish they could do something, so they can take the opportunity to confuse the water. When the time comes, there will be a scuffle, and there will be big variables. It will be hard to say who wins and who loses.

"Send someone to the General Hospital of the Military Region and bring Xiao Xia here later." The old man ordered again. "Ask him to stay at our house for a few days, and send him back after the two sessions are over."

"Will Xiaoxia agree?" Zhao Mingkang asked worriedly.

Xiao Xia attaches great importance to the ecological farm in Da'ao, which has always been his dream.Now is the critical period of construction, let him leave home for so long, will he agree?

"Now is an extraordinary period for the Zhao family. Tell him clearly, and he will agree." The old man said firmly. "You don't understand Xiaoxia's character. I lived there for more than a month, but I can feel it very clearly. As long as it involves the safety of his family, he will go all out to protect it."

"Well, Xiao Xia is indeed more emotional." Zhao Mingkang also has a deep understanding of this.

"And the relationship between Xiao Xia and Xiao Si is much deeper than you imagined." The old man sighed again: "Except that she is not a girl, I really think Xiao Xia is a perfect daughter-in-law in all other aspects."

"Dad, are you exaggerating?" Zhao Mingkang thought that Xiao Xia was really good, but she was not as perfect as his father said.

"When you have been in touch with Xiao Xia for a long time, you will know." The old man stroked his chin that had just grown a stubble, and said proudly.

Hearing that he almost died, Li Xingguo was a little scared.

He was born in a military family, and he didn't take life and death as seriously as ordinary people, but everyone has weaknesses, and Li Xingguo's weakness is his family.

If he dies like this, the Li family may be on the verge of decline, which he cannot bear.

After the old man retired, the family put all the resources on himself. After 20 years of hard work, he has lived up to expectations and is only one step away from that position. If he dies like this, the highest in the family is no more than a colonel, at least 20 years Only then can the family be supported.

As for the old man's age, he certainly can't protect him for that long.

What's more, if I die, the old man will be sent by a white-haired man to a black-haired man. I'm afraid that his body will collapse and he won't live for a few years.

The Li family has been in this position for so long, and naturally there will be many enemies. It is impossible for them to give the Li family 20 years to slowly recover. They are afraid that if he dies, the family will be beaten to pieces and devastated. .

Politics is inherently cruel. To give an opponent a chance is to seek death. No one will be soft on them.

"If you think about it carefully, what was the omission this time that caused such a serious accident." The old man said in a deep voice.

The son's body was healed by Xiao Xia, and the old man regained his composure all of a sudden.

If you dare to do something to his son, then don't blame him for being cruel.The old man secretly made a decision.

"There are no mistakes, I'm afraid I neglected the people around me." Li Xingguo thought for a while and said. "Most of these people have been with me for more than ten years. I trust them too much. Maybe someone has been bribed?"

"It's good if you can figure it out." Mr. Li nodded sullenly.

Although the son has sat in a high position and is not lacking in IQ and EQ, but lacks their iron blood, sometimes the army is too loose and soft.

Soldiers in peacetime, although they have a higher level of education and richer scientific and technological knowledge than them, but they are still too immature without blood experience.

Unlike them, who got up from the flames of war, their hearts were already stronger than iron.

Regarding this point, he used to remind his son to be tougher when he governed the army, but the effect was not great.

Maybe after this incident, he can figure it out by himself.

Killing decisively is a quality that every high-ranking officer must have. Compassion does not control soldiers, which is not just an old saying.The benevolence of a woman will only make a country, a nation lack the integrity it should have.

"I know what to do, Dad." Li Xingguo nodded in shame.

Now I have a new understanding of what my father often said.

"It's good that you know. Don't rush to work tomorrow and pretend to be sick for another two days." The old man said coldly. "The news of your illness is not known to many people now. After two days of fermentation, all the high-level officials should know. Let's take a closer look. Who will betray the Li family? And who will jump out to follow Is the Li family right?"

"I understand." Li Xingguo immediately understood what the old man was thinking, and he nodded. "Taking this opportunity, it's good to see some people clearly. When we go up later, we'll deal with them one by one."

※※※

Since everyone wanted to hide it from everyone, Xia Jiusheng naturally had to say hello in advance so that no news would leak from him.

Hearing that Mr. Li has such an idea, Xia Jiusheng will definitely not object.

Under the grateful eyes of the old man, Xia Jiusheng got into the car and headed for Zhao's house.

Mr. Zhao was already waiting in the room, and when he saw Xia Jiusheng coming in, he quickly asked him to sit down beside him.

"Xiao Xia, thank you for your hard work this time." The old man said kindly as if he were his grandson.

"Grandpa, you're being polite, it's just a little effort." Xia Jiusheng replied with a smile.

I didn't expect that I just broke up with the old man in the morning and would meet again in the capital at night. It seems that I and the Zhao family are really destined.

"It's good that you don't mind. I recommended you to the Li family for treatment this time." The old man said sadly without hiding it from him. "I've known Old Li for so long, and I can't bear to ask him to suffer the pain of bereavement at such an old age."

"I understand, Grandpa, don't think too much about it." Xia Jiusheng never felt that he was a big shot, nor did he feel that he was too difficult to hire. Like the Li family, the Zhao family, and the Duan family, as long as he can help, it is natural Will do my best to help.

Of course, among these people, he is also divided into close relatives. Of course, the Zhao family is the closest, followed by the Duan family, and then the Li family.

"If they let you back, Li Xingguo must have been cured of his illness?" The old man really admired Xia Jiusheng's ability. Sometimes poisoning can't be found. It's really tricky, and only Xia Jiusheng can easily solve it.

"Well, Uncle Li is fine." Xia Jiusheng nodded and did not hide the truth from Mr. Zhao. "However, Grandpa Li told me just now that Uncle Li should pretend to be sick for two days first, and then make a decision after seeing the reaction outside."

"Don't worry, we will keep it a secret for him." Zhao Mingde comforted Xia Jiusheng with a smile.

"This old Li is still so ruthless!" The old man smiled. "He wants to use his son as a bait to make all those ghosts and monsters jump out, and then catch them all?"

"Old Uncle Li deserves to be born out of blood and fire. He has such a murderous aura. We juniors are no match for him!" Zhao Mingde said in admiration.

"Of course." The old man seemed to think of his life when he was young. "The cruelty at that time was beyond your imagination. Almost all the benevolent women were knocked down. Only those with firm beliefs and daring to fight survived."

"Are there many people who are against the Li family?" Xia Jiusheng didn't know much about politics, and didn't quite understand what the old man said.

"It's not what you think." The old man knew that Xia Jiusheng had misunderstood him, and explained: "After the two sessions of Li Xingguo, he will become the deputy to the leader. This is the highest position in the military. There must be many people staring at him. It is said that someone has a relationship with the Li family. As an enemy, it would be better to say that many people have taken a fancy to that position."

"I understand." Xia Jiusheng nodded.

He still has this common sense.

Officialdom has always been cruel, because there are so few seats and so many people want to sit.It is understandable that extreme people will do anything for themselves.

Wasn't Uncle Duan kidnapped just because he was going to be promoted?Xia Jiusheng let out a breath.

It's better to be an ordinary person and don't have to worry about these annoying things.

It suddenly occurred to Uncle Zhao that he would go up this time too, so wouldn't he be very unsafe?

Xia Jiusheng's heart rose.

If something happened to Uncle Zhao, the Zhao family would be devastated, and Zhao Zezhong would be heartbroken, right?That was intolerable to him.

"Then I'll stay in the capital for a few days, and go back after the two sessions begin." Xia Jiusheng said proactively.

"Thank you, Xiao Xia." Zhao Mingde was overjoyed when he saw Xia Jiusheng brought it up, knowing that he understood his situation. "If you sit in the capital, we will feel at ease."

※※※

Li Xingguo was in a coma, and the news of his passing away soon became more and more widespread. Almost all the well-connected families in the capital knew about it.

The person who had given up on this position at first suddenly became eager to move.As for the families that had a feud with the Li family, they applauded even more. For them, it was better to give that position to anyone than to the Li family.

Of course, there are also families that have nothing to do with it, watching the progress of this matter with a cold eye.

As for the small forces following the Li family, they behaved differently.

Some people came to the door anxiously and asked about Li Xingguo's condition, but naturally they didn't get an answer. The Li family sealed off the ward and prohibited anyone from visiting him.

Some people feel sorry for themselves at home, but they have no idea of ​​finding another way out, and everything waits for God to arrange.

Of course, there are also ambitious people who keep in touch with relevant people and are planning to take over the power of the Li family.

People who were originally evil-minded, kept making rumors at this time, disintegrating everyone's fighting spirit and turning the Li family into a pot of loose sand.

Of course, most of the people still didn't move, they were waiting for the result. After all, the old man of the Li family was still there, so the Li family wouldn't get rid of it immediately.

It wasn't until the next afternoon that Li Xingguo showed his fangs, and suddenly arrested a staff officer and a civilian employee, and made a surprise trial in secret, and soon made progress.

This staff officer actually joined the Sun family more than ten years ago.Over the years, he has been very loyal, just to gain Li Xingguo's trust.

The day before yesterday, he was ordered by the Sun family to secretly poison Li Xingguo. Before leaving get off work that day, he deliberately walked in the last place. Taking advantage of others' surprise, he opened the commander's office with the key prepared in advance, poured the poison sent by the Sun family into the drinking water with a needle barrel machine bucket.

The next day, he came to the office early and watched with his own eyes the clerk who served the headquarters, used the water there to make tea for the commander, and watched Li Xingguo drink a glass of water.Only then did I leave with confidence.

When Li Xingguo left with the driver, he pretended to pick up the documents again, entered the office, took out the bucket of water, poured it into the bathroom, rinsed it twice with clean water, and replaced it with clean water before Shi Shi ran. leave.

Before he thought about it, Li Xingguo died this time, and he also completed his mission, so before the Sun family made arrangements, he spread the word in the headquarters, wanting to help the Sun family step on the Li family again.

Unexpectedly, Li Xingguo was still alive after drinking the poison.

Hearing that it was the Sun family who made the move, Mr. Li calmed down instead. In that case, let's see Zhenzhang after the two sessions.

As for the people below, now that they have seen their true colors, it is easy to deal with them.

It is not difficult to be demoted, to be checked, to be promoted, or to be promoted.

The staff officer probably committed suicide that night because he hadn't completed the mission, couldn't get the Sun family to rescue him, and was afraid that the Li family would continue to torture him.

※※※

Naturally, Xia Jiusheng didn't know about these things. After he stayed at Zhao's house, Zhao Zezhong also went home the next day.

Hearing that Xia Jiusheng was willing to guard here for the safety of his uncle, Zhao Zezhong was moved and guilty.

On the surface, it seemed that Xia Jiusheng had gained the favor of the Zhao family. Because he knew the Zhao family and himself, he was able to bring about earth-shaking changes in the Xia family in less than a year.

But he knew that compared with Xia Jiusheng's contribution, his family benefited the most.

So that night, he worked hard on Xia Jiusheng's body, sending Xia Jiusheng to peaks again and again.

"You idiot, you can't do such a simple thing well. You deserve to die." In Young Master Sun's study, the thin man stood behind the desk with a livid face, cursing bitterly.

"Young master, is it the case with the Li family?" A man in black in his 30s stood beside him like a javelin and asked in a deep voice.

"Then what else do you think?" Young Master Sun narrowed his slender eyes and stared at him dangerously.

"The Zhao and Li families must get rid of at least one of them. Otherwise, both of them will go up and rely on each other. I'm afraid our organization will be uprooted by them." The man in black was also worried that Young Master Sun would get angry. He still said calmly.

This was what young master sun was most worried about.Although only the organizations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have been destroyed now, if the higher-ups are determined to investigate, as long as they are given enough time, they will always be able to find out the cocoons and investigate these people clearly. At that time, what else will the Sun family take to investigate Fighting for the next position?

The Zhao and Li families are the biggest enemies of the Sun family. After those two come to power, they will definitely start from this matter and attack the strength of the Sun family.

"What's your idea?" Young Master Sun asked in a deep voice.

"Find a professional organization and get rid of the boss of the Zhao family." The man in black had a fierce look in his eyes. "The Li family is in the army, so it is less of a threat to the Sun family."

"This?" Young Master Sun thought for a while, then slowly shook his head. "no."

Although I can't wait to do this, give myself a sigh of relief.After all, the reason is still there, knowing the consequences of doing so.

Now everyone knows that Zhao and Sun's family is in trouble, if something happens to Zhao Mingde, he can cover it up, if someone assassinates, the Sun's family will become the target of public criticism, and no one can protect them.

"Are you afraid that the Sun family will be implicated?" the man in black asked calmly.

"Aren't you stupid?" Young Master Sun sneered.

"Don't worry, I will make arrangements, so that the Sun family will not be affected." The man in black vowed.

That night, a fire broke out in the kitchen of a Sichuan restaurant only 50 meters away from the Zhao Family Courtyard.

After the hotel staff escaped, they hurriedly called the fire alarm.I fought the fire with the people living nearby, but within 5 minutes, five gas tanks stored in the warehouse behind the kitchen also caught fire and exploded one after another. Under the huge impact, sparks scattered, and the restaurant next door also caught fire immediately. up.

The crowd exclaimed for a while, the fire spread too fast, everyone ran away in panic, but did not pay attention to a van at the entrance of the hotel, and suddenly caught fire.

As if commanded by someone, the cars at the door caught fire one after another, and the fire quickly rose to half a sky high, and the red flames could be seen several miles away.

This place was originally a densely populated area, but it was only around ten o'clock in the evening, and most of them were still awake. When they saw the fire, they all ran out of their homes, but no one was burned to death yet.

In March, the northwest wind was still strong. When the fire reached a certain level, it was very difficult to put it out. Everyone took the water extinguisher and sprayed it fiercely at the fire, but it didn't do much at all.

Seeing that the fire had burned across the street, the sound of fire trucks was heard.

The street was full of people here, and the fire engine couldn't start at all. When a sensible person saw it, he yelled loudly: "Get out of the way, let the fire truck come in."

A small truck that was blocked by pedestrians also hurried to the side road at this time, trying to give way to the fire truck. Unexpectedly, the road ahead was on fire, and the knitted fabric behind the car was already on fire.

"Get out of the car, it's on fire." There were miscellaneous things piled up behind the pickup truck, which seemed to be flammable things, and passers-by shouted loudly when they saw it.

The driver was probably frightened, and stepped on the brakes to accelerate, only to see the car whizzed, but accelerated and drove forward, and was about to hit the courtyard wall in front.

At least the driver was not completely confused. The moment the car hit the wall, he jumped out of the cab and did not cause a car crash.

With a bang, the car hit the wall, and the burning objects behind the car body flew forward suddenly due to inertia, part of it hit the wall and fell to the ground, and a small part flew into the yard.

At this time, there was no one in the courtyard, and everyone went back to the room to rest. As for the security personnel, they were either on duty at the gate, or in the monitoring room, observing the safety of the entire courtyard.

"There is a situation." When a foreign object entered the yard, the security personnel in the monitoring room immediately noticed something was wrong, and used the walkie-talkie to notify other personnel, asking them to go over and check immediately.

Most of the houses are made of wood, and they are most afraid of fire. No one dares to neglect it.

Everyone rushed to the scene and saw that some fabrics such as cotton wool were burning under the corner of the wall, and they were relieved that their courtyard had not yet been set up.

Some people stepped on it with their feet, and some people went to get a fire extinguisher. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the fire was quickly extinguished.

What they didn't notice was that when they left their original posts, several men in black quietly climbed into the wall from a blind corner, entered the house, and hid in an empty room.
