Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 798 Strike first to gain the upper hand!
"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

Around 3 p.m., the phone in Jia Dongming's office suddenly rang.

Hearing the phone ring, Jia Dongming reached for the receiver and politely greeted, "Hello! This is Jia Dongming. May I ask who this is?"

"Dongming! I've found out what you asked me to investigate." Just as Jia Dongming finished his greeting, a middle-aged man's voice came through the phone.

After the investigation team left the day before yesterday, Jia Dongming asked someone to help him secretly investigate who was targeting him. Now, upon hearing the middle-aged man's answer, a cold glint flashed in Jia Dongming's eyes, and he immediately asked the middle-aged man, "Brother Yong! You've worked hard. Tell me in detail, who exactly is targeting me behind the scenes?"

The middle-aged man named Yong Ge, sensing the chill in Jia Dongming's voice when he heard Jia Dongming's question, slowly explained to Jia Dongming: "Dongming! After receiving your call the day before yesterday, I arranged for someone to secretly investigate this matter. It turned out that Zheng Xinhua from the Municipal Bureau went to the General Administration's residential compound, to the home of Deputy General Manager Zhao, around 8 p.m. that night. However, according to what I know, Deputy General Manager Zhao was not at home that night."

"In addition, during my investigation, I also discovered something interesting. One of Vice President Zhao's bodyguards was transferred to your steel rolling mill's security department six years ago under the pretext of demobilization. He is now Lu Zhonghua, the captain of the second brigade of the patrol section of your security department."

Upon hearing the news from Yong Ge, Jia Dongming immediately recalled the time when the Municipal Bureau received its first letter of complaint. If he remembered correctly, the Municipal Bureau received its first letter of complaint against the Security Department six years ago, which meant that the Zhao family had already begun their scheme six years ago.

Realizing this, Jia Dongming thought of Chen Zhenliang who had gone south. At this moment, Jia Dongming even had a vague feeling that the reason Chen Zhenliang went south was likely related to the matter of him being reported.

With this thought in mind, Jia Dongming asked Yong Ge with a serious expression, "Yong Ge! You just said that when Zheng Xinhua went to Vice President Zhao's house, Vice President Zhao wasn't home. Does that mean that the person who initiated this matter is someone from the Zhao family?"

With this thought in mind, Jia Dongming immediately asked Yong Ge, "Yong Ge! Could you give me a detailed introduction to all the members of the Zhao family?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question and recalling his investigation results, Yong Ge immediately introduced to Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Vice President Zhao has a total of five children, namely Zhao Huizhong, Zhao Huiping, Zhao Huidong, Zhao Huiqing, and Zhao Huiguo."

"The eldest sister, Zhao Huizhong, works in Qin Province; the second sister, Zhao Huiping, works in the propaganda department; the third sister, Zhao Huidong, works in the import and export company; the fourth sister, Zhao Huiqing, works in the industrial department; and the fifth sister, Zhao Huiguo, works in the Jingu City Public Security Bureau. Oh, and Chen Weizhong, the former director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, is Zhao Huiping's husband."

Upon hearing the name Chen Weizhong, Jia Dongming felt a sudden sense of enlightenment. Back then, after Chen Weizhong was transferred to the steel rolling mill, in order to completely control the mill, he targeted their security department at every turn. Ultimately, through his machinations, Chen Weizhong was transferred out of the mill in disgrace after working there for less than a year.

Thinking about why Chen Weizhong was transferred from the steel rolling mill, Jia Dongming finally understood why the Zhao family was targeting him. What surprised Jia Dongming was that the Zhao family had started plotting this revenge six years ago, which made Jia Dongming admire their cunning. Understanding the reason, Jia Dongming said solemnly, "Brother Yong! Back then, when Chen Weizhong was transferred to the steel rolling mill as director, in order to completely control the mill, he tested our security department. But he hit the wrong target and ultimately left the mill in disgrace."

"Back then, I was puzzled. Chen Weizhong was just the director of Anshan Iron and Steel Plant. How could he be transferred from Anshan to Beijing to serve as the director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill? It seems that Chen Weizhong's transfer was likely related to the Zhao family's plan. By removing Chen Weizhong from the steel rolling mill, I was essentially disrupting the Zhao family's plan. No wonder the Zhao family hated me and even planted a spy in the security department a few years ago."

After hearing Jia Dongming's analysis, Yong Ge finally understood the reason. Thinking of the rumors related to the Zhao family, Yong Ge's face turned solemn, and he reminded Jia Dongming in a very serious tone: "Dongming! I almost forgot about Chen Weizhong being transferred from the steel rolling mill back then if you hadn't mentioned it."

"What I didn't expect was that the Zhao family would be so petty. They even started plotting to get revenge on you years ago. I suspect that besides the investigation team, the Zhao family has other tricks up their sleeves. You must take this matter very seriously."

Upon hearing Yong Ge's reminder, Jia Dongming thought of the spies the Zhao family had planted in the security department, and his brows immediately furrowed tightly.

Lu Zhonghua has been working in the Security Department for six years since he was transferred from the military. During these six years, Lu Zhonghua must have known more or less about some of the things that happened in the Security Department. This means that the investigation team is just the beginning, and the Zhao family must have prepared many more backup plans.

Jia Dongming didn't know exactly how much the Zhao family possessed that was detrimental to him, but having lived two lives, he knew clearly that to protect himself, he had to strike first before the Zhao family could make trouble for him; only then could he sleep soundly.

However, Jia Dongming did not intend to tell Yong Ge his thoughts. Instead, he said to Yong Ge with gratitude, "Brother Yong! Although I have indeed violated regulations by distributing benefits to my subordinates over the years, I have not personally benefited from it. Unless the Zhao family can fabricate a baseless charge against me, the most I can get is a disciplinary action."

After carefully considering Jia Dongming's answer, Yong Ge solemnly reminded Jia Dongming, "Dongming! As the old saying goes, 'If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext!' The Zhao family has endured for so many years before finally taking action against you, so they must have some evidence in their hands."

"When they came to the steel mill to investigate, they showed interest in the channels you have. I don't think they really want the channels you have. Instead, they want to make you unconsciously think that way and then lull you into a false sense of security. I even suspect that the Zhao family will use this to their advantage. So you can't afford to be careless at all."

At this moment, Jia Dongming had already conceived the idea of ​​striking first against the Zhao family, but he hadn't told Brother Yong about it. In response to Brother Yong's reminder, Jia Dongming earnestly thanked him, saying, "Brother Yong! Thank you for your reminder. I will definitely be on high alert and will absolutely not give the Zhao family any opportunity."

At this moment, Yong Ge was unaware that Jia Dongming planned to deal with the Zhao family, and he never expected that Jia Dongming's next move would cause a bloodbath. In response to Jia Dongming's gratitude, Yong Ge said to Jia Dongming, "Dongming! Since you are already mentally prepared, I won't say anything more. As for the Zhao family, I will keep an eye on them for you. I will inform you immediately if anything happens."
