After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 298, Episode 0317: How insightful the old lady's vision was!
The group stopped to listen, and it turned out that the usually composed Leng Zhan was reprimanding the guards at the gate, still with an authoritative tone.

Although the old man once held a high position of power and influence, and even now that he has retired, the whole country can still tremble with his presence, he has never used his power to suppress anyone in his life, and he detests people who use their power to oppress others.

However, the old man did not lose his temper. He simply called Leng Zhan away, gave him a severe dressing-down when they got home, and then had the chief of staff order Leng Zhan to suspend his duties and go back to reflect on his actions.

Many people witnessed Leng Zhan's outburst at the gate of the compound. Although the old man took remedial measures in time, the reputation of the Leng family was still affected. In particular, somehow, the rumors spread and affected the most innocent child, Guai Bao.

Aunt Fang slapped her thigh angrily, making a loud "smack," indicating it was probably swollen.

"Someone is definitely targeting Xi Bao with ill intentions."

The old man's reputation still stands, and everyone respects Zhang Hongying's status as his daughter-in-law, so they only dare to talk about the Leng family's crickets in private, and dare not actually bring the crickets to the person in question.

Unlike the old man and Zhang Hongying, Aunt Fang was just a staff member working for the old man. She was familiar with other staff members, and aside from secrets, it was common for them to gossip about each other's families in private.

So Aunt Fang learned from the other sisters that when the old man took the initiative to suspend Leng Zhan's position, everyone said that Leng Zhan, the eldest son, had been bewitched by a vixen. They laughed at the old man's eldest son, saying that he was already ruined, without involving the entire Leng family or Lin Yuexi.

In just half a day, the rumors shifted, and people started saying that the Leng brothers had poor judgment, and they even had some evidence to back it up.

Leng Zhan's first wife was found by the old lady. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was a heroine with impeccable character. When the commander learned of her sacrifice, he personally said that she was a good comrade.

Leng Zhan's attitude towards his wife was rather indifferent. Many older people remember that the two usually got along like ordinary comrades. When she sacrificed herself, Leng Zhan did not show much sadness.

If Kong Liping hadn't made the comparison later, people wouldn't have thought much of Leng Zhan's reaction. Back then, everyone was in a similar situation with arranged marriages, and when it came to feelings, they were just making do.

However, after Leng Zhan remarried, the difference became obvious. Leng Zhan's attitude towards Kong Liping was completely different from his attitude towards his first wife.

Leng Zhan was almost always willing to grant Kong Liping's requests. Even at work, he would think about buying her gifts. He would never work overtime unless absolutely necessary, rushing home, and on his way home, he would buy her some of her favorite foods.

Those unaware of Leng Zhan's past relationship with his ex-wife often praise him for being good to her, calling him a good man. But those in the know, though they may not say it openly, secretly criticize him as just an ordinary man, valuing his outward appearance over his inner qualities.

As for Leng Sheng, although his wife was tricked into marriage, the old lady was willing to let the Leng family bear the blame rather than let him settle for marriage. In other words, the old lady was against Leng Sheng getting married.

But Leng Sheng didn't listen, and just looked at the result.

Zhang Hongying was chosen by the old lady as her daughter-in-law. Fortunately, Leng Zhi was obedient, and among the brothers, the couple had the best outcome.

The old lady told Leng Zhi that the girl who cleaned up the battlefield the most carefully was definitely a good girl who knew how to manage a household, and that was the kind of wife he should look for.

Leng Zhi glanced at her and thought, "Hey, isn't that right? She's the kind of person who rummages through enemy corpses several times, a master of corpse-hunting, and she looks so lucky. Isn't she the perfect wife that God has ordained for their poor camp's commander?"

Finally, Leng Yong—well, let's not even mention him—was also in a marriage the old lady was unhappy with. This shows just how insightful the old lady's judgment was.

Aunt Fang thought to herself: Sometimes, the younger generation should listen to their elders, especially when it comes to marriage. The old lady comes from a big family and has lived most of her life. She has seen all kinds of people!

How many demons and monsters can escape her eyes?
We've digressed, let's get back to the point.

After rumors spread that the Leng brothers had poor judgment, the rumors became increasingly distorted, eventually leading to the claim that all the Leng brothers had poor judgment. The implication was that their judgment in their work was also poor, and that they were easily influenced by their spouses and made mistakes.

There were even rumors that Leng Zhan had given preferential treatment to the Kong family. There was some evidence to support this claim. It was true that Kong Liping's nephew was introduced into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by Leng Zhan. Although the nephew had passed the exam, and such a thing was not a big deal at the time, it was no small matter to spread at this time.

In just two days, what was originally the old man's order for Leng Zhan to suspend his duties and reflect on his actions turned into an order from above to investigate Leng Zhan. The suspension was no longer for reflection, but for investigation.

At this point, the old man stopped caring.

How to describe the old man sometimes? He was incorruptible in matters of national importance, the kind of person who would personally kill a family member if they made a mistake, and he deserved everyone's respect; but sometimes, in the eyes of his relatives, he was too ruthless and heartless.

The only person he showed favoritism to that made him seem unprincipled was his granddaughter Lin Yuexi. But if you look closely, although he was biased, he never violated his principles.

He favored his granddaughter with his ill-gotten gains, and only ever tried to take advantage of his superiors and friends, never seeking any personal gain from his subordinates.

People might laugh at him for other things, such as being afraid of his wife or having useless children and grandchildren, but no one would laugh at his character, not even his enemies.

The old man didn't think it was a big deal that Leng Zhan was under investigation. If Leng Zhan had really made a mistake by abusing his position, then he deserved to be punished; if Leng Zhan hadn't made a mistake, the investigation would clear his name.

To everyone's surprise, this afternoon the investigation team came to ask Leng Zhan if he knew any detailed information about Lin Yuexi's YX series.

The implication was that Lin Yuexi had proactively given the information to Leng Zhan.

When asked if he could tolerate it, the old man was told that even he didn't know anything about the YX series. He explained that Leng Zhan and Lin Yuexi's relationship was just that of an uncle and niece, and they weren't close. He added that Lin Yuexi would never tell him anything on her own initiative.

Moreover, although Lin Yuexi has never signed a confidentiality agreement, she knows better than anyone what should be kept secret. If the YX series information were to be leaked, it would never have come from Lin Yuexi.

At this point, the old man realized that someone was targeting their Xi Bao.

Sure enough, the next question from the other person was a nonsensical one, asking whether Lin Yuexi had revealed her trip out of Beijing herself.
The old man immediately got angry. He was allowed to carry a gun, and as soon as the other party asked the question, he immediately pulled out his gun and shoved it into the man's head.

“I don’t care whose people you are, or whether you’re working for M or for the little devils. If you’re so capable, then hide yourself well for me. If you dare to touch my precious baby, I’ll risk my old life to blow up all the masters behind you.”
