In name only, I, Gao Yuliang, will sink Handong at worst.

"Old leader, you must be joking. How could I possibly hold a grudge against Ruilong?" Gao Yuliang's words softened, as if he really wasn't angry.

If you weren't angry, why would you block Zhao Ruilong's number?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If someone brought evidence against Lao Zhao to Lao Zhao's side, he wouldn't have chosen the path of living on his knees. Gao Yuliang has also written a book about surrendering for another year.

Here, there is no option to surrender; the only option is to exterminate them all.

"I'm here to apologize to you; he did something wrong."

"Old leader, I can't accept your apology. As for Ruilong, Ruilong is Ruilong, the Zhao family is the Zhao family, and you are you. Handong will be stabilized, but my students and I will not get involved in Ruilong's affairs, nor will we help clean up his mess." It's true that Gao Yuliang was promoted by Zhao Lichun.

However, Zhao Lichun is Zhao Lichun, Zhao Ruilong is Zhao Ruilong, and the Zhao family is the Zhao family; the favors between the three cannot be confused.

Gao Yuliang was neither a servant of the Zhao family nor Zhao Ruilong's nanny.

Zhao Lichun became increasingly certain that Gao Yuliang must have latched onto someone's coattails and found a powerful backer, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken like that.

Did Gao Yuliang do something wrong? Of course he did. He married Gao Xiaofeng. To put it bluntly, that was being loyal to the Organization Department and concealing important personal information. But to put it less seriously, it wasn't a big problem.

Moreover, this kind of thing is only related to one thing: whether or not someone above is helping to operate it.

Zhao Lichun knew that Zhao Ruilong was likely involved in some things. He usually turned a blind eye to some things, but knowing that Zhao Ruilong was likely involved with Ding Yizhen and had even dared to kill Ding Yizhen, he felt that his son was probably not a good person in private.

It's good that they haven't been discovered, but if they have, their son will not escape death.

"Yuliang! Do you know what outrageous things Ruilong has done in Handong?"

"Actually, I think you can ask someone else, Liu Xinjian, he should know the answer very well."

From beginning to end, Gao Yuliang was not the Zhao family's support. Qi Tongwei's problems were so obvious that he was even less likely to be the Zhao family's supporter. Of course, it was Liu Xinjian, who is now the chairman of Handong Oil and Gas Group.

Many officials want to establish connections with state-owned enterprises and large private companies because they can invest in these companies, which can directly create a large number of jobs and contribute to their political achievements.

The battle for Handong Oil and Gas Group is a fight for money. Neither Dafeng Factory nor the food court are the other party's core assets. This is why Zhao Ruilong didn't care about the 45 million yuan involved in the 116 fire case, but if he handed over Handong Oil and Gas Group, the Zhao family would be doomed.

"Just how big is the hole?"

"At least six hundred million, I don't know about more. If possible, it's best not to let Zhao Ruilong return to Handong!"

"I understand. I'll leave Handong to you from now on," Zhao Lichun replied, looking several years older.

Zhao Lichun hung up the phone immediately, his previous high spirits turning into dejection and dejection. He had thought he could still compete for the top spot, but now his son was getting money from Handong Oil and Gas Group.

If that's true, then her son will definitely die; it's worth hundreds of millions!

Zhao Lichun called Liu Xinjian directly.

"Liu Xinjian, I'm asking you, just how big is the hole Zhao Ruilong has in your Handong Oil and Gas Group? Don't hide it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinjian immediately became agitated. The cigarette he was smoking fell onto his pants with a thud, and Liu Xinjian quickly stood up.

When Zhao Lichun called him before, he never called him by his name directly, and he always asked questions like this. How could he not know that something had happened?

Liu Xinjian did some calculations and said, "Old leader, you have three billion."

Zhao Lichun didn't say anything, but Liu Xinjian could clearly hear the crisp sound of a lighter coming from the other end of the phone.

Liu Xinjian didn't say anything. Instead, he waited quietly for his old leader's order. Smoking didn't make him feel excited, but rather calm.

Liu Xinjian also wanted to draw a ticket, but he could only wait here.

About five minutes later.

A sound came from the other end of the phone.

"I understand. I'll fix this mess for you and get you four billion. As for Zhao Ruilong, just leave him alone. I won't let him go back to the mainland. From now on, whatever Zhao Ruilong does, don't get involved or interfere. Just keep the accounts right for me."

"I'll have Xiaohui go over and help handle the aftermath."

Zhao Lichun wants to give 4 billion yuan to Handong Oil and Gas Group. Where can the money be drawn from? The only option is to sell off assets under Zhao Ruilong's control.

What was the other billion yuan for? It wasn't for settling accounts, but for providing an explanation—an explanation that no one could refute. Time is no cost!

But if the amount of money increases, then there's nothing more to say.

Zhao Lichun then began to deal with the matter.

"Dad, how could you sell the business I've worked so hard to build?"

"You're good at building your career. I don't even want to talk about the scum you've done. If it's all found out, you're dead, and I won't be able to get away with it. I'm telling you, you can't leave Hong Kong for five years, and you can't go back to Handong."

"If I find out you dare to call those people in Handong, you'll be stuck in Hong Kong for ten years! Two bodyguards will be coming to find you tomorrow. I don't care how you play around with women in Hong Kong, but if you dare to do anything else, don't call me Dad."

"By the way, get two hundred million out of your money."

"What's the point of having money! Just set up a trust fund for Gao Xiaofeng and her son. We need to keep Gao Yuliang firmly on our side and not let him get off."

Zhao Lichun had initially planned to send his daughter to handle the aftermath, but after seeing Gao Yuliang and Sha Ruijin locked in a fierce battle, he decided it was unnecessary and decided to send her out anyway.

Politics allows no room for negligence or wishful thinking.

Gao Yuliang told Zhao Lichun about this matter. Whether or not someone cleaned up the mess afterward was none of his business. He could sense that if he handled this matter well, at least it wouldn't cause him any trouble.

He even looked forward to what would happen if Sha Ruijin or the Zhong family forced Liu Xinjian to his death.
