Chapter 598: Retirement

Hearing Tao Zhilong's words, Bai Jianguo's hand gradually began to tremble. The thoughts that suddenly popped up in his heart, and Tao Zhilong's silence on the other side of the phone, he thought of a possibility that he could not accept...

"Have you caught someone?" Bai Jianguo took a deep breath and asked slowly.

"The message I received was that no one was caught... the sniper escaped..." Tao Zhilong responded bitterly.

"Not caught..." Bai Jianguo's eyes froze, and then his face turned completely pale... What does Xu Ze's assassination mean? He was assassinated just as he had an immortal hatred with him...

Everyone will think of themselves. Although people with a little brain will not think that they did it themselves... But who can explain such a thing clearly? This person was not caught... no matter how it is, people will be pulled towards their heads intentionally or unintentionally...

At this time, let alone protecting your son, I am afraid that I will be restless...

Bai Jianguo hung up the phone in a daze, sat on the sofa, sat for a while, and finally sighed slowly, as if he had been aged for decades, without the majesty and stern aura of the past.

"Prepare the car...send me to the Military Commission..."

The news that Lieutenant General Bai Jianguo, deputy director of the General Staff, retired due to illness, quickly spread rapidly in Yanjing City like a thunderbolt.

Everyone in the unknown was muttering, Minister Bai is less than 60 years old and seems to have been in good health, so why did he retire?

But most people in the circle know what's going on. In order to protect their son, Vice Minister Bai automatically proposed to retire. In recent years, this situation can be said to be common, but if the deputy minister of the General Staff Department can reach this point, the power behind can be imagined how powerful it is...

Thinking of the young man who was always considered to be too lucky... the people in Yanjing began to feel a little awe from their envy... No matter how many hands there were behind him, he could make the deputy minister of the General Staff Department automatically retire. This kind of power is worthy of everyone's awe.

When Xu Ze learned the news, he was sitting in Yang Guanglian's office drinking the Tieguanyin he had treasured; Minister Yang was asking Xu Ze about his assassination yesterday with concern. As the minister of the General Staff Department, he knew his deputy very well, and it was absolutely impossible for the other party to do such a thing.

So the question he was surprised now was who would assassinate Xu Ze, a lieutenant general who was already a free position.

After hearing Minister Yang's questions, Xu Ze chuckled and was about to speak, but Yang Guanglian's orderly rushed in panting and reported to the minister that he had just heard the news.

Minister Yang's reaction was that he was stunned at that time. He stared at his orderly soldier blankly. After a long time, he said slowly: "The news is true?"

"Indeed... the news that the Military Commission had just arrived, Minister... you should also receive the notice soon..." The orderly nodded with certainty.

Now Yang Guanglian believed it and nodded to the orderly soldiers. After the orderly soldiers left, he sighed with melancholy. This deputy who had fought with him for nearly ten years left today?

After staying for a while, Yang Guanglian looked at Xu Ze in a blink of an eye. He looked at Xu Ze with a calm smile on his face. Then he smiled helplessly, and said, "Isn't the matter of your stabbing fake?"

Xu Ze chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm such a person? It's not my favorite way to frame people..."

"Who is that person? Even if he is a sniper, I don't really believe it..." Minister Yang shook his head and said with a smile.

"Minister, you really believe in me..." Xu Ze also shook his head and smiled: "Some things... you know, you can't say them everywhere... But the people who assassinated me were indeed caught, one died on the spot, and the other had a septile..."

"Islander?" Yang Guanglian's eyes suddenly glared and said in a cold voice.

"Yes...but it's not an ordinary person, so now I haven't caught anyone with the outside world, nor have anyone found the attack..." Xu Ze nodded gently and said with a smile.

Yang Guang blinked his eyes, looked at Xu Ze for a long time, then nodded slightly and did not speak anymore...

He had been speculating about something before, but now he has finally gotten confirmed, and he has now confirmed why Xu Ze was able to attack Bai Jianguo so confidently, and why the old man actually attached so much importance to him...

Of course, when most people know this news, they are in the afternoon. Minister Sun, who is in the government affairs system, learned this news a little earlier than ordinary people.

Because when he went to the Buli Restaurant for lunch, two deputy officers with great heads stood up very respectfully to greet him warmly.

Looking at the two deputys who were obviously overly enthusiastic and respectful, Minister Sun smiled and nodded to the two of them, then sat down next to them with his own meal.

"Old Sun...you have the vision..." One of the deputy ministers said with a sigh and smiled at Minister Sun.

"What?" Minister Sun asked with a smile of confusion while holding the dishes.

"Xu Teshen is amazing... He took down all the Minister of the General Staff's Minister Bai..." Another deputy minister also looked at Minister Sun with congratulations and said with a smile.

"What?" Minister Sun almost dropped his chopsticks when he heard this. He looked at the two of them in shock and said, "You are not kidding, are you?"

"What a joke... Lao Sun, do we dare to joke about such things? News just came from the Military Commission..." Another deputy minister looked at Minister Sun and said mysteriously.

Seeing the two of them with serious looks, Minister Sun believed this matter. After the shock in his heart, he felt relieved. He originally heard Xu Ze say that his target was still on Bai Jianguo yesterday, he thought Xu Ze was just thinking about it, and he was even worried about Xu Ze's formation of such a strong enemy.

However, I didn't expect that it would take Bai Jianguo in less than a day...

Looking at the increasingly humble smiles on the two deputy's faces, the smile on Minister Sun's face gradually became stronger...

As soon as Xu Ze came out of Minister Yang's office, he was summoned to Huairen Hall again...

The old man's face was not very good at this time. He just looked at Xu Ze and said, "Xu Ze... isn't he very proud to knock down a deputy minister of the General Staff?"

"Uh...a little..." Xu Ze looked at the old man obediently.

Seeing Xu Ze nodding his head honestly, the old man's face looked a little better, and then he said, "Just this time, I won't be the example!"

"Well... I've recorded it!" Xu Ze nodded.

"Well..." The old man nodded, then picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip and said, "Although you successfully took Bai Jianguo this time, you have to know... Bai Jianguo has been in the army for decades, and many people from all over the country still have a good impression of him..."

"So... don't be too obedient, don't think you're not afraid of anyone after getting him down... You know, there are still people talking to me today, saying that Bai Jianguo has devoted himself to such an end over the years, which is really heartbreaking... He also said that young people are not humble at all, and if they are to the elderly in the future, they will not be awe at all. It would be really bad..."

"You have to know... you are coming out too quickly now, and many comrades are a little dissatisfied, especially this time... many old comrades feel very uncomfortable..." The old man looked at Xu Ze and explained in a deep voice.

Xu Ze couldn't help but frown when he heard the old man's words slowly. Xu Ze probably knew that the people he was talking about were all very difficult characters. In this country, if they don't like someone, then this person will definitely not be able to live well.

Although Xu Ze was not very afraid of these comrades, he also understood that if he wanted to live well here and do well, it would be useless to rely solely on his personal strength. The old man was naturally kind-hearted in persuading him, so he nodded and said, "I understand..."

As the old man said, many people feel very unhappy, such as Comrade Wu Yuantang and some old comrades...

"That kid is too cruel. The good comrades who have worked hard to cultivate from the country were actually like this..." The old comrade slapped the table and was indignant for a long time before looking at Bai Jianguo with a wry smile on his face, promising: "Jianguo... Don't worry, even if you retreat, I still have me in this Yanjing City. As long as I am here, no one can bully you! If that kid dares, I will go to the door to beat him... I will see what he dares..."

After hearing the old comrade's words, Bai Jianguo finally had a smile on his face and nodded repeatedly to thank him.

After sending Bai Jianguo out of the door, he remembered that his subordinates who had been cultivated for so many years had fallen to this point. The angry look on the old comrade's face did not retreat at all...

"It's cruel enough..." Comrade Wu Yuantang, who had never expected Bai Jianguo to come to this point, was also very angry. He originally thought that Bai Jianguo would retreat and temporarily let his son stay in there and find a way later. However, he did not expect that Xu Ze and Liu Changfeng would join forces to hide him and use Xu Ze's stabbing to make such a big fuss, forcing Bai Jianguo to be desperate.

Below these two hatches, Bai Jianguo, who had only one son, had to go this way in order to save his son, avoid greater trouble and more attacks from the other party.
