Chapter 1737 - 1737
"Revenge plan?"
Liu Zhizhong and Wen Bao were both slightly startled and somewhat puzzled.
Ruan Juhai gave a bitter smile, shook his head, took a deep sip of coconut tea, and then lit a cigarette.
This old chief of staff, amidst the smoke, had a face marked by an extraordinary firmness and weathered look.
Of course, life used to be hard, and he couldn't afford good cigarettes, but now it's different. Following Liu Zhizhong, he could smoke high-quality cigarettes at leisure. The taste of good cigarettes was indeed delightful. It's even better than the good cigarettes he could smoke when he was a chief of staff under the Warlords.
Moreover, with improved living conditions now, his once somewhat aged face had regained several degrees of vitality. His skin looked better, and his face had filled out with some flesh, and he still bore some of the elegance of the elderly.
How important is material life to a person?
Living in a hotel, even with a limping leg, he insisted on exercising, becoming increasingly robust.
As for his leg, Liu Zhizhong and Wen Bao both expressed they could arrange for him to undergo treatment in Singapore at any time. He missed the treatment opportunity before, resulting in a permanent limp, but modern medical techniques could correct and restore it.
But Ruan Juhai said now was not the time. After Zhongshui's major venture succeeds, it wouldn't be too late to treat the leg; after all, he had gotten used to it for many years.
At the moment, Ruan Juhai said, "Before encountering Zhongshui, I didn't dare to conceive such things. After meeting Zhongshui, combined with his principles and strategies, I think it's possible."
"Back then, my father-in-law, as a warlord, was kind to me. I failed to provide happiness to his daughter and granddaughter, which was my negligence."
"After being annexed, the whole family perished, which is a pain in my heart. Helplessly, burdened with family, alone and weak, I was truly powerless."
"Among his troops back then were many of my colleagues and friends, a lot of loyal subordinates, most ended up dying for him. Very few survived."
"Those who survived had surrendered and served others."
"Do you know which two families were the warlords who annexed his territory?"
At this question, Liu Zhizhong and Wen Bao obviously said they didn't know and were eager to hear the details.
Ruan Juhai said, "Initially, my father-in-law clashed with the Goa Army. During the battle, the Goa Army colluded with the Xue Family Army, reaching a cooperation agreement."
"The Xue Family Army was not very large at the time but had quite a bit of ambition. They certainly didn't mind seizing most of the territory north of Vallebang, so they immediately agreed with the Goa Army."
"The Xue Family Army attacked from behind, and with the Goa Army pinching from both sides, the outcome was predictable, alas... afterward, the Xue Family Army took four-fifths of the land, the Goa Army took one-fifth, and this kind of collusion proved effective."
"The Xue Army completely became a major warlord, one of the Four Major Warlords of Vallebang. The Goa Army also got to expand further. Among the regional warlords, they were considered the top."
"So, Zhongshui wants to start with the Goa Army, to take over the world step by step. I fully support it. It's both a correct strategy and my personal revenge hidden within. Next, it depends on you all."
This old chief of staff, with eyes full of expectation, looked at the two exceptional young men.
Liu Zhizhong took a deep breath, glanced at Wen Bao, and they both nodded.
Liu Zhizhong said, "Uncle Ruan, things have reached such a pivotal moment, I have nothing to say, let's do it!"
