Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

Zhong Xiaoai was so scolded by her father that she couldn't say a word.

His shoulders slumped and his head was bowed.

His face turned from white to red, then from red to purple, looking extremely ugly and feeling extremely frustrated.

She wanted to say a few words on behalf of herself and Hou Liangping.

But even though he opened his mouth, he didn't have the courage to say another word for Hou Liangping under his father's overwhelming rage.

After a long while, Zhong Xiaoai asked cautiously.

"What's the current situation with Father?"

She wanted to know the crux of the problem.

How much loss will Hou Liangping's failed mission and reckless actions bring to his family?

Perhaps she has a solution?

Zhong Xiaoai thought to herself that even her father couldn't do anything about it.

They actually thought they had a way to turn the tide.

"What's the situation now?"

Heh heh heh, those old guys from the Energy Department have already put a knife to my neck.

This is a crucial moment for me.

The position of First Secretary has finally become vacant, and given the old man's lingering influence, he is highly likely to be able to take on the role.

As a result of this commotion, the energy department has already declared that the guy surnamed Wang wants to compete with me!

Moreover, those who are at odds with us have already begun to verbally and in writing criticize us.

Especially Zhao Lichun, who was on the verge of being crushed.

They were very active in this matter.

All sorts of newspaper opinions are flying around!

I think my chances of making progress this time are slim!

"We're about to hand over the position we were about to get to someone else!" Zhong Zhengguo said, glaring fiercely at his daughter.

It looked as if he was looking at Hou Liangping.

They wanted to swallow it whole, skin it alive.

Zhong Xiaoai slowly raised her head and saw her father's fierce eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he said:

"Father, this matter is full of strange things. Why did a car accident happen immediately after Liangping brought the person into the car? There is definitely something wrong with this!"

And how could the money just disappear? We've confirmed everything, so why would the money just vanish? They must have discovered our movements long ago, and someone is targeting us!

"You can't blame Liangping entirely!"

Chung Cheng-kuo listened to his daughter's analysis with a blank expression.

Such a simple truth.

He had already figured it out.

Zhong Zhengguo was pleased that his daughter could think of this, which showed that Zhong Xiaoai's abilities and intelligence were still intact, but his relief was only momentary.

She chose Hou Liangping, a troublemaker, as her husband!

Is his daughter really not intellectually challenged?

"Father, is there really no hope for you?" Zhong Xiaoai whispered.

She was genuinely concerned about this issue, but she was also afraid of angering her father.

So she asked very carefully, her voice barely audible, as if it weren't for the quiet surroundings.

Chung Cheng-kuo probably couldn't even hear what she was saying.

"There's no hope, absolutely no hope left!"

Taking action against Zhao Dehan would have angered some people in the energy sector, making it an extremely risky move!

The original intention was to resolve the matter swiftly and decisively, effectively sealing off the case of Zhao Dehan, a petty official with enormous corruption!

This credit could have been kept quietly, but your husband, Hou Liangping, insisted on delaying it until the enemy realized what was happening!

If we let the enemy adjust their mindset, we'll suffer the consequences.

Since we launched the attack first, it was inevitable that we would be countered.

"There's no reason to surrender and lose half the battle; these people are no different from hungry wolves." Zhong Zhengguo said wearily.

The light in his pupils dimmed slightly. He had waited so long for this spot to become available, and he had made all the necessary preparations.

They've invested countless favors and accumulated so much time and effort, waiting for this moment, and this is the result?

Hou Liangping simply flipped over his chessboard.

He even slapped the referee. Do you think he could still win?

Can it still be served?

Forget about the national server rankings, it's a good thing that the Zhong family has been able to settle down these past few days.

Zhong Zhengguo rubbed his temples wearily.

Zhong Xiaoai fell silent after listening to her father's words.

The father and daughter remained silent.

"Why don't we ask Grandpa to step in? Maybe there'll still be a chance!" Zhong Xiaoai suddenly said.

Zhong Zhengguo shook his head.

"Absolutely not. We are already in the wrong, and it would be even worse to bring up the previous generation."

Energy is a natural consequence of bringing up the previous generation.

If your grandfather is then belittled and denigrated, our Zhong family will be truly finished!

Chung Cheng-kuo calmly said that although his progress was crucial, the old man should absolutely not step in unless absolutely necessary.

They can only show themselves when the family is facing a life-or-death crisis.

Because the elderly person has already retired.

There's only one favor I can rely on left.

I'm using it now.

The very next day, they made a mistake by accident, and someone caught them red-handed. They were slapped to death, and that was the end for them.

"Father, what do you think? Are we going to give up on Liangping?" Zhong Xiaoai asked, her voice trembling as she voiced her true thoughts.

This is the fact she least wants to accept.

There was no way around it; the chain of evidence against Hou Liangping was simply too perfect.

The cameras on the road clearly recorded the scene of Hou Liangping having someone stuff a water cup into Zhao Dehan's mouth.

The only point of contention is whether Hou Liangping had someone put the water cup into Zhao Dehan's mouth.

This is the only point that can be used for argument.

Because the surveillance cameras did not capture detailed audio.

Therefore, there is room for manipulation in this matter, allowing other people in the anti-corruption bureau to take the blame.

However, the rest of the anti-corruption bureau knew that Hou Liangping had connections, and their statements were very consistent.

This refers to Hou Liangping having someone stuff a water cup into Zhao Dehan's mouth.

That's what led to such a huge tragedy.

"How is Zhao Dehan?" Zhong Zhengguo asked with a frown, without answering Zhong Xiaoai's question.

If the person is rescued, the impact will be less; but if the person dies on the spot.

There's no point in saying anything then.

When a person dies, someone has to pay the price.

No matter how many tricks you use, it's useless, otherwise others would treat you the same way. This is the most rigid unspoken rule.

No one dares to touch it lightly; once touched, it means that others can do the same to your home.

"They're still in critical condition, and the doctor says the situation isn't looking good!" Zhong Xiaoai replied.

"What a useless piece of trash!"

"Let's put Hou Liangping's matter aside for now. It'll be good for him to suffer a bit!" Zhong Zhengguo waved his hand, not wanting to see his daughter anymore.

"Father, what is your decision...?" Zhong Xiaoai wanted to ask more.

"Get out!" Zhong Zhengguo roared.

They no longer gave Zhong Xiaoai a chance to speak.
