[The Queen Returns: The Sequel to My Brother-in-Law's Glory] (Part 5, Chapter 49)

Chapter 49
My eyes lit up, and I pressed him, "Since Secretary Qiao doesn't know, why are you in such a hurry to come forward and collect the debt?"
My aunt suddenly realized, her phoenix eyes sharply fixed on Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly responded calmly:
"I'm thinking of you and your son. If the Discipline Inspection Commission, the court, and the procuratorate force you to intervene, the situation will become much worse.
Considering your mother's position within the Party, I'm using my influence to try and avoid handling this discreetly."
My aunt said coldly, "Old Qiao, Zhonghan just woke up and is not quite lucid. He doesn't know how to speak properly, so please don't mind him."
"It's alright, it's alright."
Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then changed his tone and said seriously, "However, no matter how much power I have, I can't suppress the law.
You should be prepared. I'm taking my leave."
He looked at me, but didn't dare meet my gaze.
My aunt nodded, "Secretary Qiao, take care."
I stiffly uttered two words, "Goodbye."
As soon as Qiao Yu's figure disappeared, my aunt angrily pounced on me, her delicate hand raised. I pleaded pitifully,
"Mom, I was in a coma for half a year and only woke up two days ago. I'm not fully conscious and don't know how to speak properly. Please don't mind."
Hearing this, my aunt seemed to soften, slowly lowering her hand, her phoenix eyes still angry. I quickly explained, "
The person who framed me couldn't be anyone else. It's either one of Qiao Yu's people or Qiao Yu himself; it's related to him."
My aunt retorted angrily, "You have no evidence!"
"He's the biggest beneficiary, Mom. Think about it. If I'm successfully framed, Qiao Yu will not only get
you, but also Biyun Manor and a large sum of money. If I'm not mistaken, KT will also fall into his hands.
Sun Jiaqi dares to be so arrogant; he must have Qiao Yu's support behind the scenes. But for Qiao Yu's evil scheme to succeed, there must
be a prerequisite."
I took my aunt's hand and gently stroked it, but after a couple of touches, I noticed peeling skin. I
peeled off the peeling skin bit by bit.
"What prerequisite?"
My aunt tried to pull her hand back.
I held it tightly, my face full of affection: "It's that I die, or I never wake up."
My aunt glared at me, her imposing manner resounding: "You won't die. In this hospital, there are people secretly protecting you 24/7
. Your car accident was very suspicious. When I arrived at the scene, the car had already been towed away. At the time, I thought it was
Zhang Siqin's people retaliating, so I immediately found people to protect you. Dr. Jin is one of our people."
"Ah?"
I was shocked.
My aunt said coldly, "It seems that being wary of you is necessary now. Everyone who comes to see you in the ward must
get my permission."
I smiled obsequiously and said, "Mother is wise, your son loves you."
"Stop being so glib,"
my aunt scolded, then sighed, "Alas, being beautiful is a sin for a woman. You've gathered a whole bunch of beauties;
it's no wonder others are jealous of you."
"I'm not afraid, I have Lin Xiangjun."
My aunt finally hit the mark, chuckling softly, "While there are many suspicious points about Qiao Yu, we can't be absolutely certain
it's him."
I shook my head, quite certain, "Mom, I have a feeling. The way Qiao Yu looked at Tang Yilin the moment he came in
was off. I'm a man, I can sense it."
My aunt frowned, her face showing disgust. "I hadn't noticed that, but now that things have come to a head,
we need to be even more careful."
I nodded, a sudden chill running down my spine, and quickly reminded my aunt, "We also need to be wary of Qiao Ruochen."
My aunt was quite surprised, asking, "She's so young, what's there to be wary of? Didn't you have a relationship with her?"
"Ahem."
I coughed twice, stammering under my aunt's piercing gaze, "I...I have...no...no relationship with Qiao Ruochen
."
As soon as I said it, I regretted it.
As expected, my aunt was very puzzled: "Then why did you say you had a relationship with her?"
"Cough cough."
I pretended to be unwell, trying to escape my aunt's questioning, but she saw
right through me and let out a strange, cold snort: "Oh, I know, you're afraid I won't allow you to mess around, so you've already reserved Qiao Ruochen with me,
right? Hehe, I really didn't know you, Li Zhonghan, had this trick up your sleeve."
"Mom."
I leaned back, my scalp tingling, inwardly cursing myself for being a hundred times dumber than a pig.
My aunt spoke slowly and deliberately, word by word: "Reserving a woman? I've broadened my horizons. Usually, you act first and ask later, but
you asked first and acted later, quite clever."
"Mom."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, because my aunt's eyes were filled with hostility, the
kind of look she only had when she was furious. I was terrified.
"Who else have you reserved?"
My aunt adopted a posture as if she was about to punish me, her tone icy.
"No one."
Without thinking, I quickly shook my head.
"Where's Catherine?" My aunt's eyes flashed with malice.
"I..."
I stammered for a long time, not knowing how to answer. I was so anxious! Suddenly, everything went blurry. I sighed inwardly, thinking, "Oh no,
at least I'll be beaten to a pulp. I might as well close my eyes and accept my fate." Huh? After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. I opened my eyes and
was surprised to find my aunt listening intently against the ward door. I was very surprised and looked at the ward door. Just as I was about to
ask, my aunt suddenly flung open the ward door with lightning speed. A figure rushed in unexpectedly, stumbling along with the momentum.
My aunt and I looked closely and saw it was Zhou Zhinong.
"Secretary Zhou, what's this?"
I had to thank Zhou Zhinong. If he hadn't come, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Zhou Zhinong was extremely embarrassed, scratching the back of his head frantically. "Oh dear, I've really lost face this time. Sister Fang is amazing
. I was so rude, Zhonghan. I meant no harm, really no harm."
I nodded in agreement, "Even if everyone in the world is hostile towards me, you, Zhou Zhinong, would never be hostile towards me."
My aunt was quite surprised by my words. She must have been thinking, "Is Zhou Zhinong more reliable than Lin Xiangjun?" In
fact, between people, apart from close relatives, a man's loyalty is even more reliable than that of his wife. I am not only
the man of the Qiu sisters, but also the father of Qiu Yuqing's unborn child. More importantly, I bear the responsibility of revitalizing He Tie...
"It's the honor of the military lineage, so Zhou Zhinong is very loyal to me, and I trust Zhou Zhinong very much.
" "Thank you for your trust, Zhonghan."
Zhou Zhinong smiled with satisfaction. Being trusted is a great honor. He turned and closed the door, saying with emotion
, "Sister Fang might not believe it, but I'm protecting Zhonghan. Our people are stationed inside and outside the hospital.
As long as Zhonghan has a breath left, we'll do everything we can to protect him. We know that Zhonghan's accident wasn't an accident;
it was a deliberate attempt to harm him."
Aunt said calmly, "Oh, how do you know?" "
Hehe, Sister Fang also had her suspicions. Because on the night of Zhonghan's accident and the next day, Sister Fang went to the scene
to investigate. This shows that Sister Fang is suspicious of what happened to Zhonghan."
Zhou Zhinong revealed a sly glint.
Aunt became interested: "You saw me?"
Zhou Zhinong nodded: "Yes, I saw Sister Fang. You investigated, and we investigated too. However, Sister Fang
was flustered at the time, crying while investigating."
"What did you find out?"
Aunt believed Zhou Zhinong.
"Simply put, we found two reverse skid marks, proving that Zhonghan's car had tried its best to avoid oncoming
traffic, which led us to conclude that Zhonghan did not commit suicide. The road was in excellent condition, flat and straight, with
bright streetlights and good weather, so it couldn't have been a technical mistake. Most importantly, the tow truck arrived very quickly, and
the scene was cleared even faster, as if someone knew there was going to be an accident and prepared in advance. Combining these points, we immediately
concluded that Zhonghan had been murdered, so we immediately arranged for all available personnel to protect him."
My aunt's phoenix eyes lit up, seemingly impressed with Zhou Zhinong. She nodded after each of his sentences,
nodding frequently until the end. Only after Zhou Zhinong finished speaking did my aunt interject, "Who was Zhonghan with last?"
"Luo Bi,"
I blurted out.
Zhou Zhinong said, "I have a good relationship with Luo Bi. Later, we went to see him, and he admitted to going with you to Zhang Siqin
's wife's house to recover the money, but denied plotting against you. Because there was no evidence, he left. He left an American
phone number, saying he could come back to assist in the investigation at any time. I deliberately called him a few days later, and he really was willing to return to China
to assist in the investigation."
"I don't believe it was Luo Bi either."
This was what I really thought. Luo Bi isn't that kind of person. If he had that kind of guts, he would have killed Zhu Jiutong long ago
.
Zhou Zhinong said in a deep voice, "I suspect someone."
"Who?"
I exchanged a glance with my aunt.
Zhou Zhinong's expression was unusually serious: "It's Secretary Qiao, who just left not long ago. Every time he comes, we
all act like we're facing a major crisis. He has several plainclothes guards. Today, we discovered one of them sneaking up to the Zhonghan
ward floor and disappearing without a trace. In a panic, I crept up here. The nurse on duty recognized me and called me
over. I asked the nurses if they had seen any strangers, and they said no."
"I see."
My aunt and I finally understood why Zhou Zhinong had been acting so suspiciously.
My aunt tentatively asked, "Why do you suspect Secretary Qiao?"
Zhou Zhinong thought for a moment and said, "He made it a bit too obvious. He suddenly interfered in KT's affairs, and not long after, news
spread that Zhonghan had violated regulations and financial management rules, demanding the recovery of illegal gains.
It's clearly unreasonable to bring up old accounts against an asset owner who is in a coma, and there's no direct evidence or witnesses. We suspect that Secretary Qiao
must have thought Zhonghan wouldn't wake up, which is why he acted so ruthlessly. To be honest, at that time, everyone,
including me, had little hope for Zhonghan."
My aunt and I were both silent, shocked and angry, pondering the truth of what Zhou Zhinong said.
"I never expected Zhonghan to wake up. When I heard the news, I really doubted I heard correctly. I cried
all night last night."
Only a loyal person could speak such sincere words. Zhou Zhinong's sincerity moved my aunt and me, and she
completely changed her opinion of him.
Zhou Zhinong continued, "Qiao Yu has a motive. He Fu said that Qiao Ruogu's sister, Qiao Ruochen, has always
harbored resentment towards Zhong Han, believing that Qiao Ruogu's disability is related to Zhong Han. Therefore, she blames Zhong Han. Qiao Ruogu also
died a few months ago, so they must hate Zhong Han even more. I heard that Qiao Ruogu was already in critical condition before Zhong Han's incident."
Auntie was furious: "That can't be blamed on Zhong Han. Qiao Ruogu's injury was an accident, and it wasn't
Zhong Han who fired the shot. Zhong Han was also shot and almost died. We don't owe the Qiao family a life."
Zhou Zhinong said worriedly, "Qiao Yu is very powerful. He has been the municipal party secretary for almost a year and has already become very powerful.
The public security, procuratorate, and judiciary are all under his control. If he wants to deal with Zhong Han with all his might, that's really dangerous
. I'm afraid he's just looking for an excuse."
Auntie's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she snorted coldly: "In Shangning, it's not necessarily true that Qiao Yu can cover up
everything."
Zhou Zhinong bowed respectfully to Auntie: "Sister Fang, I have something to say, but I don't know if I can say it."
"Just say it."
Zhou Zhinong held up four fingers and said mysteriously, "Four words: counterattack, enter politics."
"Counterattack, enter politics?"
My aunt, furious, didn't bother to analyze it and just asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Zhinong sighed, looking dejected, "If we don't counterattack, we'll be at Qiao Yu's mercy. Not to mention KT
can't be saved, we might not even be able to protect Biyun Manor. In the end, we'll have to withdraw from Shangning. Rumors are circulating that Qiao Yu can enter the Politburo
. If Qiao Yu is lucky enough to get into the decision-making circle, then wherever we retreat will be a disaster."
My aunt's face turned pale upon hearing this, and my palms sweated as I listened.
Zhou Zhinong's eyes widened, and he clenched his fists: "Only by fighting back and entering politics can you protect yourself. Qiao Yu has been in politics
for many years and must have political enemies. Your counterattack proves your courage, and Qiao Yu's political enemies will inevitably flock to you. You can
then use each other to strengthen your own power. If you also enter politics, Zhonghan will become a part of the Chinese political parties. In other
words, you will be one of our own. While it's true that one of our own can be ruthless when dealing with another, most of the time we must adhere to
principles, consider the overall situation, and obey the organization. If others try to mess with you again, they will face endless trouble, unless Qiao Yu can ascend
to the throne."
My aunt nodded repeatedly, her phoenix eyes sweeping over me with expectation. I said awkwardly, "But I have no political experience
..."
"Hehe."
Zhou Zhinong interrupted me with a loud laugh, "Zhonghan, I've followed Secretary He for many years, and what I've seen most are incompetent fools
. Yet these incompetent fools hold important positions. Capable people are either extremely rare or subordinates of incompetent fools.
So, Zhonghan, don't underestimate yourself. You are dozens, even hundreds of times better than those incompetent fools. If they can hold important positions
, why can't you?"
My aunt clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Zhonghan, Secretary Zhou is right!"
Zhou Zhinong bowed to my aunt again, "Thank you, Sister Fang. There's something I need to tell you, and you'll see that I
'm even more right."
"Please speak,"
my aunt replied politely.
Although Zhou Zhinong noticed his aunt's initial arrogance followed by deference, he didn't mind. He cleared his throat, slightly embarrassed, and said,
"It's an undeniable fact that Zhonghan is a womanizer. He has a dazzling array of beautiful wives and concubines around him. But while it's easy for you to acquire beauties,
it's difficult to keep them. There's a saying, 'All the beauties in the world can be obtained by the world.' If you don't have strength, background, or power
, then the beauties around you are like jewels in the eyes of a robber, easily stolen. Even if you, Li Zhonghan, had three heads and six arms, you
wouldn't be able to defend against them. You've all heard of people forcibly abducting women, but have you ever heard of stealing the emperor's concubines?"
His aunt was taken aback, and she and I exchanged glances, both agreeing that it made sense. We quickly perked up our ears to continue listening.
Zhou Zhinong said calmly, "Of course, we can't compare ourselves to the emperor, but in today's society, which official
doesn't keep three or five mistresses? Some even keep hundreds, just like the emperor. But have you ever heard of any
official being convicted for keeping mistresses? Very few, extremely few. Therefore, if you want to protect yourself, protect your women, and
protect your property, the best way is to enter politics."
This was the most absurd political ideal I had ever heard—not for the people, not for the country, but for personal
desires.
Zhou Zhinong spread his left hand and presented his evidence point by point: "You have many advantages in politics: youth, capital,
good family background, extensive network of connections, and intelligence. With these five advantages, why not go into politics? The only thing you lack
is education. Hehe, I can forge you a flawless high degree certificate within three days. Besides,
you don't need math and science to survive in the Chinese officialdom."
Zhou Zhinong's words were somewhat absurd, but they swayed me. Education was indeed my weakness. However, if Zhou Zhinong
could forge a passport, obtaining a fake degree certificate wouldn't be difficult for him either. But…
I looked up at my aunt and found her staring intently at me. I knew my aunt, with her boundless ambition
, hoped I would accomplish something truly extraordinary. Her ambition rested entirely on me. I smiled bitterly, pondered for a long time,
and then slowly said, "I'll go into politics, but only if Tu Menglan fully supports me."
My aunt snapped, "Li Zhonghan, a real man doesn't make empty promises. You have to keep your word. If you go back on your word, I
'll cut you off completely."...
Guo Yongxian's work was highly efficient. By noon, all my women had received two million. Even
Dai Xinni, Zhang Yanyan, Qiu Yuqing, Chu Hui, and Wang Yi received two million. For a time, the phone rang with sweet
nothings. I instructed Guo Yongxian to transfer another ten million each to Zhuang Meiqi and Tang Yilin. I felt
guilty towards them; they had sacrificed so much for me. My women had sacrificed so much for me. It was less of a red envelope and more of
a consolation to them.
Half an hour later, I received a call from Zhuang Meiqi. She asked sweetly if the twelve million was severance
pay. I was both amused and exasperated, and I unleashed a torrent of vulgar insults at her. Then Tang Yilin called
, first complaining that my phone was always busy, and then saying in her most seductive voice, "Twelve million isn't a small amount,
but a loving husband is priceless. With a loving husband, one is better off than mountains of gold and silver."
Hearing this made me feel incredibly refreshed, my toes trembling. I absolutely adored her.
