Chapter 637 - 618:
Seeing the old man get angry, Zhang Bufen quickly lowered his head and let the old man berate him, knowing that his current support was this old man. If this old head didn’t stand up for him, who would give a damn about him in the future? Therefore, Zhang Bufen could only respond helplessly, "Fine, I’ll go, okay?"
"Ha ha, that’s more like it!" the old man said with a meaningful tone, "Bufen, don’t think it’s just bad for you. When you go to the military and come back polished, I can arrange a job for you in the army, right? You can’t always be wandering around outside, can you?"
"Grandfather’s teachings are right!" Zhang Bufen immediately nodded and said, "I will work hard and definitely not let down Grandfather’s expectations!"
"Alright, go on then. I will make the arrangements for you in a few days!" the old man laughed.
...
In Tongzhou City, Zhang Yantong and Zhang Kaiguo sat facing each other, Zhang Yantong’s face looking unpleasant.
"Dad, why has it come to this? What exactly did the Heavenly Reversal Gang do wrong?" Zhang Yantong bit her teeth and angrily said, "They didn’t steal, they didn’t rob, they started with a security company, and just opened a few casinos. Yet they’re being struck down like this, so many people arrested, even facing execution by firing squad?"
"Ah, Tongtong, you don’t understand!" Zhang Kaiguo was equally distressed; a son-in-law is half a son, and how could he feel any better attacking his own son? For the past half a month, he had hardly been able to sleep, constantly watching the political winds blow in Beijing. A single order from Beijing could send shivers down the spine of the whole country. Even if it was wrong, one had to stick to it till the end. Zhang Kaiguo was acutely aware of the problems facing the country.
Struggles cannot change overnight, and Ye Chen just happened to stand at the point of conflict, thus becoming a sacrificial piece in the political struggle.
"I just don’t understand it!" Zhang Yantong gritted her teeth as tears fell down her cheeks. Ye Chen had just called, and he didn’t say a single word of reproach, only words of concern for her and apologies for not being by her side these past days. Hearing these gentle words from Ye Chen made Zhang Yantong feel even more remorseful. Biting her teeth, she said, "Why can’t the people at the top see all that Ye Chen has done? Just because of one disagreement, they start to wipe him out, without leaving any room for leniency!"
