Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 803 Trying to kill a snake but failing to kill it backfires!

"Master! As you instructed, we have bribed Liu Guiying's neighbor to report Zhao Huidong for having an affair at the police station and the street office respectively. We have also notified the W Armor Department. Zhao Huidong is currently being held in the W Armor Department's detention room." At 7:00 a.m., after Jia Dongming completed his daily check-in, he received a message from the system.

Upon receiving the information transmitted by the system and learning that Zhao Huidong had been arrested, Jia Dongming revealed a smug smile. While dressing, he asked the system, "System! Will the person in charge of reporting this let the Zhao family know that we paid him to report us to the police station and the neighborhood committee?"

“Master! The informant’s name is Zhang Cheng. He is a middle-aged man with a strong sense of justice. We did not pay him to report the matter. Instead, we deliberately guided him to discover the affair between Liu Guiying and Zhao Huidong, and then encouraged him to report it. So far, he has not suspected that we are using him.”

Upon hearing the information transmitted by the system, Jia Dongming's face immediately revealed a smug smile. He thought to himself, "The Zhao family! You want to deal with me? Now I'll get Zhao Huidong in first, then I'll deal with Zhao Huiping. I'll send all of you Zhao family members in one by one until you become toothless tigers. Then let's see what you can do against me."

As Jia Dongming muttered to himself, he immediately used his consciousness to command the system: "System! Keep an eye on everyone in the Zhao family and collect evidence that is detrimental to them. I want the Zhao family to understand that although I am just a nobody, I am not someone they can easily manipulate."

Around 8 a.m., Zheng Xinhua arrived at the General Bureau in Beijing in a jeep. He hurried to General Zhao's office and reported to him with a grave expression: "General Zhao! The situation is very worrying. When I arrived at the branch last night, Hui Dong had already been taken away by the W Armaments Department and is now being held in the W Armaments Department's detention room."

"According to information revealed by staff members of the W Armaments Department, Minister Qiu of the W Armaments Department was furious after learning about this matter. He said that Hui Dong, as a public official, not only dared to violate organizational principles by having an affair, but also broke up a marriage. No matter what Hui Dong's identity or background is, he must be dealt with severely."

Upon hearing Zheng Xinhua's report, General Zhao frowned deeply. After a moment of serious contemplation, he calmly asked Zheng Xinhua, "Xinhua! Has the whistleblower's situation been thoroughly investigated? Was his report about Huidong unintentional, or was he instructed to do so?"

Upon hearing General Zhao's question and recalling the results of the investigation he had instructed the police station to conduct, Zheng Xinhua immediately reported respectfully: "General Zhao! When the informant returned from dinner, he unexpectedly discovered Hui Dong entering Liu Guiying's house. Because it was nighttime, the informant became suspicious of Hui Dong's intentions and hid under the window to eavesdrop. After discovering the relationship between Hui Dong and Liu Guiying, he went to the police station and the street office to report it. So far, we have not found anyone controlling this matter behind the scenes."

After reporting this, Zheng Xinhua, thinking of Minister Qiu's style of doing things in the W Armament Department, reminded General Manager Zhao with a worried look: "General Manager Zhao! I heard that Minister Qiu of the W Armament Department is always decisive and efficient. Why don't you call Minister Qiu yourself and see if there is any room for maneuver in this matter?"

When General Zhao heard Zheng Xinhua mention Minister Qiu, he immediately realized the situation was extremely complicated. Minister Qiu, whom Zheng Xinhua spoke of, didn't have a good relationship with him. The fact that Minister Qiu had arranged for someone to take Zhao Huidong to the Ministry of Armaments overnight clearly indicated that Minister Qiu knew Zhao Huidong was his son. Now, his priority wasn't rescuing Zhao Huidong, but minimizing the impact of this incident. Facing Zheng Xinhua's inquiry, General Zhao's face turned grave, and he solemnly instructed Zheng Xinhua, "Xinhua! Keep an eye on Huidong's situation for me. Until the Ministry of Armaments provides a solution, don't take any action. Report any developments to me immediately."

Although Zheng Xinhua didn't understand why General Zhao didn't contact the Ministry of Armaments himself, he didn't dare to ask since General Zhao wasn't going to explain. He nodded and replied respectfully, "General Zhao! I will keep an eye on things in Huidong, but you should probably communicate with the Ministry of Armaments to see if we can raise the issue high and then lower it gently."

Upon hearing Zheng Xinhua's reminder and recalling his own concerns, General Zhao said with a grave expression, "Xinhua! Although the incident in Huidong was accidental, we cannot rule out the possibility that some people might use it to their advantage. Therefore, until we are absolutely certain, let's wait and see!"

Upon hearing General Zhao's words, Zheng Xinhua felt that General Zhao's idea was not without merit. Thinking of their investigation into Jia Dongming, Zheng Xinhua directly changed the subject and asked General Zhao, "General Zhao! Regarding the procurement channel provided by the security department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, although we did find out that person exists, it seems that the other party received advance notice and disappeared directly."

"As for Jia Dongming, we have obtained evidence that he illegally detained yellow croakers and then used them to purchase supplies. Do you think we should use this evidence to take Jia Dongming down directly?"

After hearing Zheng Xinhua's report, General Zhao pondered for a moment, then solemnly reminded Zheng Xinhua, "Xinhua! Although Jia Dongming illegally detained the yellow croaker and used it to purchase supplies, he did not profit from it. Moreover, we haven't caught that supplier yet. If we use this evidence to try and take Jia Dongming down, even if he confesses, at most we can only give him a demotion or a demerit."

"If you don't kill the snake, you'll only get hurt in return! There are still some people behind Jia Dongming. If we use this evidence to deal with Jia Dongming, it will inevitably provoke a counterattack. At that time, it won't be a simple struggle, but a real life-or-death battle."

Upon hearing General Zhao's words and learning that Jia Dongming had connections, Zheng Xinhua asked General Zhao with a puzzled look, "General Zhao! Didn't General Chen already go to the south? Is there someone else behind Jia Dongming?"
