Chapter 242 Xu Qiao's Retribution
"You still remember me!" Gu Xingran sat opposite Su Jinyi with dissatisfaction. "If you hadn't come back, I would have thought your body was left in the wilderness!"
"Is it that exaggerated?" Su Jinyi said guiltily.
"Yes! You are a member of the state now. Meeting you is harder than climbing to the sky!"
Su Jinyi curled her lips slightly: "Ran Ran, I'm hungry."
Hearing this, Gu Xingran immediately said anxiously: "Then hurry up and order the food, why don't you eat first, are you stupid to wait for me!"
"I want to eat roasted chicken legs and mustard noodles! As a punishment, you have to eat with me!" Gu Xingran ordered the same meal for both of them.
Su Jinyi: "Why do you suddenly like eating noodles?"
"I..." Gu Xingran said with a guilty conscience, "I just want to change my taste recently!"
"Did you change men?" Su Jin curled her lips.
"no……"
"Oh! I can't hide anything from you!" Gu Xingran said desperately, "I just like a guy a little bit recently. He is from the north and likes to eat noodles. I just want to practice more so that I can eat noodles more elegantly in front of him..."
Su Jinyi suddenly asked, "Does your head itch recently?"
"Ah?" Gu Xingran was stunned. She knew that Su Jinyi was an expert in medicine. Could it be that she had cancer?
"Yi Yi..." She swallowed nervously, looking like she was facing a great enemy. "Just tell me directly, how long can I live? I can prepare myself mentally..."
"Is it serious?" she added cautiously.
When Su Jin saw her like this, he thought she was so cute and had a bad idea to tease her.
Su Jinyi nodded seriously, "It's a bit serious."
Gu Xingran looked as if it was just what he expected, and said aggrievedly: "I'm still so young, I haven't had enough of love yet..."
Suddenly she cheered up again, "Yi Yi, don't worry, I'll leave all my property to you. The only thing I'll say in my last words is that you are my only heir!"
Su Jin smiled, "You are quite generous."
"Yi Yi, can you tell me what you got?"
Su Jinyi suppressed her laughter and said, "You are about to fall in love."
It took Gu Xingran a long time to realize that she was teasing him, and he said angrily: "Yi Yi! You scared me to death..."
The rest of the words were stuck in her throat, and she looked nervously at the man who suddenly appeared at the dining table.
"Excuse me, are you Su Jinyi?" the man asked straight to the point.
Su Jinyi looked at the man who suddenly appeared with caution and frowned slightly: "Yes, what's wrong?"
The man got the response and sat down naturally and ordered a fast food.
"I'm not a bad person, I just saw that you have a good impression of me and wanted to share a table with me."
The man kept looking at Su Jinyi while he spoke, observing her reaction. He did not see the panic or flattery he had expected. She was very calm from beginning to end, and it was even impossible to tell her emotions.
"Brother, isn't your way of chatting me up too old-fashioned? Should you say that we are destined to be together and add your contact information next?" Gu Xingran said coldly.
Su Jinyi said coldly: "It's more than just a liking for each other, right?"
The man silently gave her points in his heart: calm, decisive, and courageous. Only such a person is worthy of entering the Lu family.
The man glanced at the watch on his wrist calmly and said, "We'll meet again if we're lucky!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man disappeared in the restaurant, as if he had never appeared.
"Huh? What happened? Why did it disappear?" Gu Xingran asked in surprise.
Su Jinyi took a deep look at the direction where the man disappeared and said, "It's okay, he's just an insignificant person."
"But..." Gu Xingran tried hard to recall the man's appearance just now and said excitedly: "I have to say, that man is really handsome. If he were in my company, he would definitely be a popular guy in the uncle circle!"
"It's a pity that I didn't ask for his contact information, otherwise our company would have another handsome old man..."
Su Jinyi: "Who just now disliked his way of chatting up people as being too unsophisticated?"
Gu Xingran: …
"You have good taste, you passed the test."
Lu Shaoang was surprised and asked, "Dad, did you go to see her?"
"What else?" The man said dissatisfiedly: "I have accepted that you don't like women. Suddenly you say you want to bring your girlfriend home. How can I not be anxious if I can't see her?"
Lu Shaoang frowned: "Dad, you didn't embarrass Yi Yi, did you?"
"Who do you think I am, you little brat? I'm not a feudal old man. I'm finally going to have a daughter-in-law, and I can't wait to promote you!"
Lu Shaoang: ...
After the last unpleasant meeting at the military headquarters, Captain Zhou convened another meeting.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Old Zhou, but no matter how many times this meeting is held, the result will be the same. Why bother doing so much useless work?" Xu Qiao said sarcastically before entering the meeting room.
“General Xu will know in a moment whether it is a futile effort or not.” Captain Zhou placed particular emphasis on the word “General.”
Today's meeting room is a little different from the last time, with a few new faces.
Xu Qiao just thought that Captain Zhou had hired someone to canvass votes for him and didn't take it seriously.
For the first time ever, everyone was present at this meeting, not only the four marshals were present, but even the President's secretary attended on his behalf.
Xu Qiao hurriedly asked about their well-being.
"Mr. Marshal, please come to South City in person."
The marshal said politely, "You're welcome. The military's business is our business."
This time, Captain Zhou personally presided over the meeting.
"There is only one purpose for gathering all of you together today..." Captain Zhou looked around at everyone present and finally met Lu Shaoang's eyes.
"Punish evil and promote good."
"Do you really need to trouble Mr. Marshal for such a small matter? Captain Zhou, how do you arrange the work?" Xu Qiao wanted to perform better in front of the Marshal and immediately scolded.
“Only by punishing evil first can we promote good.”
Captain Zhou ignored Xu Qiao.
Xu Qiao was about to get angry again, but he immediately fell silent when he saw the file suddenly appearing on the screen.
"General Xu, you used your position to illegally interfere with civilian commercial activities. You are guilty of abuse of power and corruption."
"Purchasing a large amount of illegal drugs and signing unreasonable contracts, and the circumstances are serious. Bribery."
Xu Qiao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold. Every one of these rules could revoke his position...
"After investigation by the military court, the verdict is as follows:
Xu was convicted of corruption and sentenced to 15 years in prison and a fine of RMB 5 million; he was convicted of bribery and sentenced to 10 years in prison and a fine of RMB 3 million. The sentence for multiple crimes was 25 years in prison and a fine of RMB 8 million.
"All military ranks will be revoked immediately."
The meeting room was completely silent, and everyone looked at the stunned Xu Qiao.
"Impossible! I didn't do this!" Xu Qiao suddenly shouted, "It's not me! It's not me!"
Xu Qiao looked at everyone in panic, and finally saw Su Jinyi. He rushed towards her as if he was stimulated.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault, right?"
Lu Shaoang was about to protect Su Jin behind him, but she got there first.
Su Jinyi grabbed Xu Qiao's hand that was stretched out to her and threw him out fiercely.
"It's noisy."
Lu Shaoang winked at the people behind him, and they stepped forward and immediately pinned Xu Qiao down, handcuffed him and dragged him out.
"Marshal, save me! I am innocent!" Xu Qiao then began to shout in panic.
"I was wrongly accused. I didn't do those things! Someone wanted to harm me on purpose..."
Xu Qiao's voice became increasingly distant, and then disappeared completely.
Captain Zhou's lips curled slightly and he said seriously, "Next is Yang Shan."
