Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Thinking too much will only increase sadness. Everyone has to be responsible for their own life and pay the price for their actions.

Ultimately, you must bear the consequences of both good and evil.

The construction in the Northwest is arduous, and few people are willing to go, but he believes that there will always be people who are willing to shine for their beliefs and contribute their own strength.

This spark will eventually ignite the entire Northwest.

When the sun shines brightly, it will attract more like-minded people to follow in its footsteps and create a prosperous era together.

However, there was clearly something hidden in Zhiyuan's words.

He must have been treated unfairly over there, or encountered some injustice that he couldn't stand by and watch.

Thinking back, it's been quite a few years since I've been back to Chang'an. Maybe I should find an opportunity to go down and take a look.

"No~"

As soon as the report was submitted, Yang Jianguo ordered it to be brought before the elders for criticism.

He just made such a huge mess in Fengtian, and now he's going to Chang'an. What is he doing? What exactly does he want to do?

I've already told him how crucial this moment is.

The Zhong family stepped forward to choose, and Zhao Lichun fought desperately for it, but he, the person favored by the elders, seemed to be just a figurehead, going through the motions.

They neither competed nor seized, and they didn't even take any action.

No, it can't be said that he didn't take any action. He met with his old buddies, had a chat, and went to the Zhong family to show his loyalty.

"Oh, Elder, you've misunderstood me."

Yang Jianguo was displeased. "What do you mean by 'showing loyalty'? I was turning the enemy of my enemy into a friend. How come it sounds so different in your mouth?"

"After we became friends, did you change like this? Ah!"

The elder hadn't been this angry in many years; just seeing him now gave him a headache.

This Yang Jianguo is more capable than anyone else, and his personality is neither hot nor cold; he seems gentle and harmless.

In reality, he's full of scheming ideas and so stubborn that not even nine oxen could pull him back.

Once he's made up his mind, it's best if you agree to let him do it; otherwise, he'll find a way to do it, even if it's roundabout.

The key is that after they've done it, they still claim to be in the right, leaving you with no grounds for complaint.

Anyone who tries to find fault with the situation is essentially putting themselves in an unjust position.

Having reached this position, who would willingly take on the burden of criticism if they could have an equal dialogue with him?

If you're talking about benefiting the country and its people, or doing it for the greater good, then so be it.

But in order to cover his lower body, he got covered in feces and urine—

Isn't this just disgusting?

"Hehe, Elder, don't be in a hurry, I have my own plans."

"Then tell me, what exactly are your plans?"

"Well... I just think that my comrades have discerning eyes. As long as I do my job well, they will definitely choose me."

"..." The elder was so angry that he was panting.

"Get out, get out of here right now, don't let me see you. I want to live for another two years."

The elder clutched his chest, so angry he almost laughed.

This Yang Jianguo, how come he's getting more and more muddleheaded as he gets older?

"Elder, don't worry, I will definitely be elected. You must trust your comrades and trust the eyes of the masses."

The elder stood there, chuckling with a hint of annoyance, "You sly fellow, you even kept it from me."

Yang Jianguo's little tricks in private could not be hidden from the old fox who had been around for a thousand years.

When two tigers fight, the fisherman benefits.

The elders had long seen through his little scheme.

However, judging from his confident demeanor, he seemed completely unconcerned about the situation getting out of control.

If the Zhong family gains the upper hand and doesn't suffer serious damage, they could be easily dealt with by Zhao Lichun.

Then his plans will all fall through. Facing the Zhong family at their peak, his chances of winning are not high!

The Zhong family had the same idea, although they didn't know what Yang Jianguo was planning.

However, as long as they concentrate on dealing with Zhao Lichun, the Zhong family, who will be free to spare the trouble, will only respect Yang Jianguo and will not be afraid of him.

If he really wanted to cause any trouble, the Zhong family, who held real power, could easily deal with him.

As for Zhao Lichun, he no longer cared what Yang Jianguo was thinking.

Currently, the Zhong family is causing him to suffer repeated defeats.

Without Handong as his backyard, Zhao Lichun is isolated and helpless. He may seem like a big ship with many oars, but in reality, he is full of holes and leaks everywhere.

If this continues, it's only a matter of time before the ship sinks.

Zhao Lichun was also furious. He immediately sent Zhao Xiaohui to Handong, saying, "I don't care what they do. Just make a scene. Otherwise, if my ship sinks, none of them who are on board will escape."

Zhao Xiaohui went to Handong with a strict order. As soon as she got off the plane, she saw Zhao Ruilong waiting for her outside.

Chapter 888 Zhao Xiaohui arrives in person, offering two gifts for you to choose from.

Zhao Xiaohui looked at Zhao Ruilong with obvious disdain.

He worried about his younger brother for half his life, but in the end he couldn't make him understand his good intentions. Instead, he might have caused the Zhao family to lose everything because of him.

It would be truly surprising if Zhao Xiaohui could still give him a friendly look.

But the man beside him—

Qi Tongwei?!

How did those two end up together? Wasn't he constantly targeted by Qi Tongwei in Handong? What's going on now?

"Sis, haha, I missed you so much."

Zhao Ruilong strode forward and was about to give her a hug. Zhao Xiaohui didn't refuse and smiled as she hugged him back. "What's going on?"

"I don't know, he came up to us on his own. I think he's definitely after our family."

"Since you knew, why did you bring him along?"

"Can I say no?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaohui felt a lump in her throat. How long ago was it that a mere department head was nothing?

Now, even Ruilong has to bow his head and fawn over the other party.

Frustration, resentment, anger, sadness—

fear!

The more Zhao Xiaohui looked at the big picture, the greater her fear became.

Now, how should she break this deadlock?

Husband's family.

No, they won't care. They might even take a piece of the Zhao family's flesh after they fall.

Miss!

Due to the distance and remoteness, the forces on that side had no way to intervene in the affairs of Handong, let alone the capital city of Beijing.

Father.

My father is already a caged beast, and my trip is for his final desperate struggle.

If the Zhong family cannot be suppressed this time, then the Zhao family is finished, regardless of whether they are purged or not.

Without real power, the Zhao family will only be kicked out by the Zhong family after they come to power.

The city of Beijing could not accommodate outsiders dressed in plain clothes.

Ruilong...

For the sake of her image, Zhao Xiaohui suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.

Something that is useless and cannot be helped.

In a life-or-death situation, all kinship and affection must take a back seat.

"Hello, Director Qi, I never expected that we would meet in this way."

"I never expected that Miss Zhao would be so delicate and fragile."

Qi Tongwei was somewhat amazed when he first met Zhao Xiaohui.

This woman gives me a different feeling than any other woman.

She is delicate and tender, with skin so soft it seems like you could squeeze water out of it, yet she exudes a mature charm unique to women.

Her bright eyes, filled with wisdom and tranquility, made one feel as if gazing at a vast ocean or a deep pool, drawing out one's entire consciousness and soul.

She exudes a positive, uplifting, and sunny vitality, like a swaying flower seen when one is weary, pleasing to the eye and refreshing to the heart.

Her temperament is unique and profound, her voice is clear but not seductive, cheerful and gentle, like a fine vintage wine waiting to be tasted.

This kind of woman was actually trained by Zhao Lichun?

Qi Tongwei strongly suspected that she might have been adopted.

Zhao Lichun, that bandit, with his attitude of "I'd fight anyone, even the Heavenly King," how could he possibly raise a daughter like that?

"Hall Qi, Hall Qi?"

When he saw Zhao Ruilong staring blankly at his second sister, he felt both helpless and smug.

Hey, another idiot.

With his second sister's charm, any man would fall head over heels for her.

That is to say, after getting married, they rarely appear in public.

Otherwise, the men who would fight tooth and nail for her would line up from Handong to France.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something important and my mind wandered for a moment."

Qi Tongwei turned his head away slightly, looking elsewhere, before turning back to look at the two of them a moment later, his eyes now clear again.

But anyone could see that the way he looked at Zhao Xiaohui was completely different from how ordinary people looked at her.

"It's alright. I should thank Director Qi for condescending to pick up a young lady like me."

“Miss Zhao is the strategist of the Zhao family, not some mediocre woman.”

The group got into the car and headed straight for the club.

This was also the first time that Qi Tongwei had stepped into this mysterious club where he had been invited countless times.

"Director Qi, I've been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. Today, thanks to my second sister, my wish has finally come true. I'll show you around."

With his second sister's support and seeing Qi Tongwei's lecherous behavior, Zhao Ruilong suddenly perked up again.

Once they got to their own territory, they started bragging and showing off to Qi Tongwei.

"Alright, let's take a look around then!" Qi Tongwei nodded and looked at Zhao Xiaohui directly, asking, "Miss Zhao, would you be willing to be my tour guide?"

Zhao Ruilong, who was full of enthusiasm, instantly wilted.

Men, they're really awful.

He cursed inwardly, but in reality, Zhao Ruilong couldn't be more enthusiastic towards his second sister.

In fact, if something were to happen between the two, the situation in Handong would immediately change dramatically, and the old man's crisis could be easily resolved.

As for his brother-in-law, he didn't even show his face when the Zhao family was facing life and death; he didn't treat his own family as family at all.

Why bother with him then!

In any case, it's just an exchange of interests; there's no affection between us.

Since he's no longer useful, it's perfectly normal to let him go and find another way out. Why should we keep hanging ourselves on his tree?
