As a flagship figure of the An faction, An Zecheng must have a close relationship with Wen Xiaorou and Zhou Tonghui.
Wen Xiaorou is Yu Mingyuan's fiancée and a family member. Zhou Tonghui is the absolute backbone of the An faction's social power. He has always worked with Yu Mingyuan and is considered the core of the direct line.
So, when he heard that they wanted to ask him for help, An Zecheng almost didn't hesitate and asked: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Wen Xiaorou sat on the sofa, her face slightly pale. After hearing An Zecheng's words, she looked at Zhou Tonghui, paused for a moment, and then said, "Uncle, it's... about the Kong family."
An Zecheng remained calm and said softly, "Go on."
"It's like this..." Wen Xiaorou forced herself to explain, "Zhenghui found me and wanted me to help talk to you. He felt that although his brother had made a mistake, his crime was not punishable by death. Could we get him out first?"
Hearing this request, Anze Cheng fell silent.
In fact, Kong Zhenghui had left a good impression on me before. He was mature and steady, and had strong working ability.
After the Tongji Society split up, many affairs of the association were handled by Kong Zhenghui, and his decision-making ability was also excellent. He dared to place bets at critical moments and give advice to Yu Mingyuan. He was considered a loyal and trusted minister.
However, in the last incident with Gu Baishun, Kong Zhenghui's performance disappointed An Zecheng. Because of Kong Zhengqi's arrest and some personal conflicts, he lost his judgment and even became a little impatient.
Moreover, the facts that have been found out now have been able to prove that what Kong Zhenghui found in areas one and two should have been deliberately set up by the opponent.
An Zecheng believed that with Kong Zhenghui's intelligence and ability, it was impossible for him to fail to notice any clues in these matters.
Therefore, the only reasonable explanation is that his counterattack against Gu Baishun this time was motivated by personal emotions, or even for the purpose of revenge.
At this critical moment, this behavior made Anze Cheng vaguely dissatisfied.
"Uncle..."
Seeing An Zecheng lost in thought, Wen Xiaorou couldn't help but call out softly.
An Zecheng raised his head and looked at his niece-in-law who seemed a little depressed, and his expression relaxed a little.
Zhou Tonghui, who was standing by, could not help but speak up when he saw this: "Uncle An, no matter what, the Kong family has worked hard for so many years, and their merits outweigh their faults. I understand that his brother wanted to transfer assets, which violated some regulatory regulations. However, he has been sentenced and punished, and Zhenghui will accept any subsequent sentence. But now that he has been locked up for so long, I am thinking about whether I can get him out first. After all, his brother is in the hands of the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and his life may not be easy..."
Although Zhou Tonghui spoke politely, his eyes were full of pleading.
An Zecheng thought about it and thought that the fact that these people could find him meant that they really regarded him as their support.
As for Kong Zhengqi, his crime was not small, but then again, it did not cause any serious consequences.
After a long silence, An Zecheng finally nodded: "Okay, I'll call them and ask them to go back first."
"Thank you! Uncle An!" Zhou Tonghui was very excited. He stood up and bowed to An Zecheng: "I would also like to thank you on behalf of the Kong family!"
"I have to say this in advance." An Zecheng looked at him and said, "This is just the first time. Don't do it again. By the way, tell Xiao Kong that people should not be too scheming or too smart. Sometimes, if you think too much, you will easily make mistakes."
"You're right!" Zhou Tonghui nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely pass on your message!"
After the two of them finished talking, An Zecheng stopped dwelling on the matter. He turned his head and looked at Wen Xiaorou, saying, "Xiaorou, are you living alone now? If it really doesn't work out, why don't you go back home and live for a while? Let your family stay with you?"
"Uncle, you don't have to worry about me." Wen Xiaorou sat on the sofa and shook her head gently after hearing this: "I think Mingyuan is still alive... He will be fine!"
Wen Xiaorou's voice was a little hoarse, apparently due to lack of sleep, but it was full of determination.
An Zecheng also comforted him, "Don't worry, we are also investigating with all our strength. You don't have to be too pessimistic. First, Mingyuan has a special identity and a high position, and ordinary people will not kill him. Second, his body has not been found so far. So, don't worry too much and keep yourself calm."
Wen Xiaorou nodded gently: "Thank you, uncle, I understand. Now that the matter has been settled, we will go back first and not disturb you anymore."
"Okay, I'll have someone take you back."
An Zecheng was a little worried, so he personally sent guards to send Wen Xiaorou and the others back home.
…
At the same time, in Hua District, in a military hospital in Yanbei.
In a spacious special ward, Su Tianyu was sitting on a hospital bed with a small table propped up on his body.
An Qiqi was holding the food and helping to place it on the table. Most of the food on the table was relatively light.
"Oh, are you eating?" Jiang Zhou just pushed the door open and saw Su Tianyu's expression. He couldn't help but say, "You look much better today."
As he spoke, Jiangzhou took off his coat and hung it on the hanger next to him.
Su Tianyu asked, "Would you like to eat something together?"
Jiangzhou waved his hand: "You eat yours, I've eaten."
Su Tianyu did not persuade him much. After Jiangzhou sat down, he asked, "I have never understood why our old man asked Wang Dingyuan to come over when we met that day. What did that mean?"
An Qiqi was sitting nearby, and when she heard the familiar "our old man" rhetoric, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
Jiangzhou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Tianyu with a smile and asked, "With your IQ, don't you know what your grandfather meant?"
Su Tianyu was a little worried: "I understand what you mean, but I don't know what Xiaoyuan's role is."
Jiangzhou thought for a moment and gave a brief introduction: "Dingyuan, he graduated from the Army University two years early, and then went directly overseas to engage in military investment. Now, he has 16 mercenary groups in various war zones overseas, with a total number of employees of about 140, 150,000."
Hearing Jiang Zhou's nonchalant tone, Su Tianyu was stunned, and the boiled shrimp in his hand fell on the table with a snap: "If our brother Yuan is this capable, I think it won't be a problem for him to be the deputy commander of the Min Army...!"
Jiang Zhou couldn't help laughing: "Look at you, you are such a coward, you have no ambition at all."
Su Tianyu thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "That's not right! If Brother Yuan can make it so big outside... Doesn't this mean that our old man started planning five or six years ago?"
Jiangzhou smiled and didn't say anything.
Su Tianyu put down his chopsticks and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, he has to be a historical figure!"
Jiang Zhou looked up at him and said, "This is the political wisdom of the entire Chinese nation. Be prepared for danger in times of peace! My mother started to establish overseas Chinese trade unions more than ten years ago. The Chinese Trade Union that you have now merged is one of the seed units back then...!"
At this point, Su Tianyu understood everything. "So, you are the one who can be responsible for this matter?"
"Yes, my father set the tone early. When I was a teenager, he told me that I could not hold a position or participate in politics in the inland. But I could fight abroad." Jiang Zhou responded with a smile.
