At seven o'clock in the evening, He Hanzhu arrived at Cao's house on time, and the eldest son of the President, Cao Zhaoli, came out to greet him in person.

Cao Zhaoli was in his thirties, wearing a short moustache with two spirits, and was dressed in a suit and ties, and was handsome. His mother was the first wife of the president. She was virtuous and virtuous, and was well-mannered. Unfortunately, she died very early before his father became rich. Therefore, although his father later married many women, he had a crush on his first wife and also attached great importance to his son. He focused on cultivating since childhood. During the Qing Dynasty, he arranged for him to travel abroad with the imperial court ministers and missions.

After becoming the president, in order to avoid being nepotist, Cao's appointment of his son and relatives was always exempted from being able to avoid it. The only exception is this eldest son, because he is deeply loved, has outstanding abilities, and is good at dancing, so he has always been with him. Especially in recent years, as he reached the top of his position, the president felt undercurrents around him, and his factions were strife, and many things were in private. The waters rose and the ships were high, so Cao Zhaoli naturally gathered around him, and was nicknamed the princelings by those who were good at it.

Cao Zhaoli talked and laughed, and took He Hanzhu into the room.

The lights in the Cao family's lobby are shining brightly at this moment. Before the president came out, Cao Zhaoli led the guests to see the old lady first.

The old lady was already sitting in a high position, surrounded by many wives and children and grandchildren of the Cao family, full of gold and jade, and was extremely wealthy.

Miss Twelve did not show her face.

The reason why she didn't come out was naturally because first, the Cao family was an old-school family, which was very polite. If guests came to the house, the family was not qualified and could not come out to see guests at will. Second, everyone knew the significance of He Hanzhu being invited to the Cao family banquet tonight. Since it was related to marriage, it was even more impossible for her to come out and fall into the status quo now.

The Cao family manager presented a visiting ceremony to the old lady on behalf of the guest.

Two boxes of famous Wufuzhai pastries from Lao Ximen, and a fragrant wooden stick with gold embedded in rhinoceros and longevity patterns.

Not expensive, but it also shows your intention.

After presenting the place and greeting the old lady on the seat, He Hanzhu stood in the middle of the Cao family lobby, smiling, and was watched and looked at and looked at by countless gazes from around him.

Tonight he was dressed in an ordinary dress and was just a military uniform, but he was tall and calm, and had a unique and unique demeanor.

Old Mrs. Cao was born in a small country gentry family. She believed that a woman who had no talent was virtue. She didn't know a big word. She relied on her son to reach the sky in the second half of her life and enjoyed all her glory. In her opinion, she was almost the same as the previous empress dowager. Although she was also a bodhisattva who was compassionate to her weak and lonely, she could not let go of her arrogant behavior that offended her descendants.

Today, the old lady heard that the He family grandson who had caused a romance case has now lost his backstage. She changed her previous arrogant attitude and asked for a visit again.

The Cao family is a family that you don’t want to come if you want to come. According to the old lady’s spirit, if you don’t teach such a ungrateful person, you will give you a big face if you don’t teach a lesson. But tonight, the person was invited by the president’s son again, and she couldn’t object.

The old lady looked at the young man standing in front of her and said, "You are the grandson of the He family? I have heard of you for a long time, but it was a meeting. If it weren't for the delay of the last time, this meal wouldn't have been scrambling until now. Well, just come here, and you can relax. Our Cao family is not a small family who cares about right and wrong."

After the old lady finished speaking, there was no sound in the hall. The Cao family looked different and looked at He Hanzhu.

He still smiled and said respectfully: "The elders teach, and Hanzhu receives teachings."

The old lady nostrils hunched, her attitude was neither cold nor hot.

The eldest son of the Cao family and his cousin Cao Shier have a good relationship, and they understand his father's intentions even more. Seeing that his grandmother was confused, he interrupted and said to the old lady: "Grandma, my father is still waiting for Yanqiao in the study. I will take him over first and wait for a meal later."

He Hanzhu gave a resignation to the old lady on the seat and followed the eldest son of the Cao family to the president's study.

"Father, Yanqiao is here."

Cao Zhaoli said respectfully, asked the servants who followed him to pour tea for the guests, and then took the servants out and brought them to the door.

The president was wearing a common clothes and was sitting behind the table, wearing reading glasses and busy reviewing official documents. He looked up at He Hanzhu, waved his hand affectionately, so that he would not have to be too polite and sit casually. While continuing to read official documents, he said in a normal manner: "After you come back from Guanxi, I wanted you to have a good rest, but I knew that the matter of the pharmaceutical factory in Tiancheng was coming out again, one after another, I was afraid that you would be tired, so I asked Duan Qinian to help you. How about it, can you still eat and drink? If you are tired, please tell me in time and don't rely on your youth."

He Hanzhu thanked: "With the care of the President, Director Duan has acted vigorously and decisively, and the matter has been completed there. The past two days have been spared."

The president looked at the official document and continued to say casually: "I also heard a few rumors that the backer of the East Asian pharmaceutical factory is Wang Xiaokun. I actually don't believe it without any evidence. However, when this case first came out last year, you were responsible for and made great contributions to removing the cancer. The rumors about this backer-"

The President glanced at him.

"What do you think of Yanqiao?"

He Hanzhu said: "I hold the same view as the President. I dare not speak out without any evidence."

The president nodded and said, "It's a pity that the fire that day had ulterior motives and burned all the books of the pharmaceutical factory. Otherwise, there will always be clues to follow who is the backstage. If you keep checking it, you will be clear, so that you can avoid the frame-ups and the swearing and crying for justice today, so that the smoky and righteousness are not rising. Such a chaos is not what I want."

"I blame myself for being incompetent, I didn't find out the whole thing at that time."

"Don't blame yourself. You have done well enough. I just sighed casually. How about it, what have you been busy with these two days?" The president changed the topic.

"Uncle Wang left Beijing today. I went over during the day and visited him."

When the president heard this, he stopped writing, looked up, and slowly put down the pen in his hand. Suddenly, he took off his reading glasses, rubbed his temples on both sides, leaned on the chair and looked at He Hanzhu, and smiled: "Yanqiao, do you know what kind of person I admire most? It is rare to be outstanding in talent, but to be grateful and respectful to affection and righteousness is the foundation for people to establish themselves. Wang Xiaokun stepped down today, and he was responsible for his own fault, but looking at those who were surrounded by him in the past, they all changed their minds and avoided it today, which was full of ugly things. Although it means that philosophical self-respect and profit-seeking, it is also a natural thing for people to be cold. They thought that Cao, a person with such a narrow-minded attitude, would I hold a grudge and take revenge on my mind?"

He Hanzhu stood up and said, "The President is elegant, as if the bright moon comes into his arms, Hanzhu admires it very much."

The President signaled him to sit down again, stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth for a few steps, then stopped, and said, "You came in just now, but you saw Twelve? Usually she praised you in front of me. This girl has no other ability, but she has a good vision for people."

After the president finished speaking, he looked at him with a smile, his eyes filled with encouragement.

He Hanzhu stood up from his seat.

"Thank you for your kindness, but to be honest, I'm not here to ask for a marriage."

The harmonious atmosphere just now suddenly solidified.

The President stared at He Hanzhu, and gradually, his smile disappeared.

He returned to his seat and sat down slowly.

"Yanqiao, to this day, I think there is no need to say anything between you and me."

"You may not look down on my niece. But marrying her should not do you any harm."

The president said, his tone of joy and anger.

He Hanzhu looked as usual: "There is a saying, I wonder if I can speak or not?"

"speak."

"If I marry Miss Twelve, if I want to betray the President, would I change my mind because of Miss Twelve?"

The president was not angry and narrowed his eyes: "You are not my direct line. So, why can I use you with confidence?"

"Lu Hongda is my vengeful enemy. I can find opportunities to assassinate him with my own courage. But with my own strength, I cannot eradicate all his power. Before stabbing him, I have to worry about whether my relatives will be retaliated and whether my subordinates will be implicated. So my revenge must be to eradicate Lu Hongda and his power. Who can I rely on except for you, President? Is this reason not enough? Why do you have to marry in one go?"

The president stared at him for a moment and suddenly started to laugh.

"It's also arrogance! I am worthy of being the young man I like. There is no need to be loyal, and there is no need to be loyal. Of course, I understand the truth-"

He stood up from his seat again, paved and pondered for a moment, and said, "But you also know that if you marry my niece now, Lu Hongda may be unable to calm down. Only when he moves can I have the opportunity to catch his flaws. What I want is this effect!"

He snorted coldly: "The person surnamed Lu is an old fox, who is the best at enduring. Now that Wang Xiaokun is gone, I don't stimulate him, how could he move and let me grab my tail? His group of people, led by Chen Gongshi and Dai Shuhong, often gather in the Chen family mansion in Yiwang Hutong, and act in the name of a club. They secretly plotted against me in the mid-year elections and thought I didn't know? Just tonight, they were gathering again! I can't let him wait until the mid-year attack on me!"

He Hanzhu said: "If the President wants to put pressure on Lu Hongda and force him to move first, I have a more convenient way, which will be effective immediately. I will ask the President, are you ready to start a war at any time?"

The president stared at him tightly: "What's your solution?"

He Hanzhu smiled, reached his right hand to his waist, pulled out an American Colt voluntary gun from the holster inserted between his waist, raised it, and pulled the trigger toward his left arm without hesitation.

A "bang" shot into his upper arm.

A stream of blood poured out, quickly wet her sleeves, flowing down his arms, dripping onto the ground under his feet.

"Smoke Bridge!"

The president could not hide his inner surprise and shock, shouted loudly, and rushed forward.

Even though he had already experienced the experience of the landslide before, he could not speak out. At this moment, he never expected that He Hanzhu would come up with such a way and attack him like this.

A layer of cold sweat had already emerged from He Hanzhu's forehead, but his face remained unchanged and he inserted the gun back.

"This is the way. I will go to the hospital to get bullets later. After I leave, President, you can also order to arrest people. Ask Lu Hongda why he sent someone to assassinate me."

He said word by word, his eyes calm and stoic, but also exuded a cold murderous intent.

That night, when the well-informed people in the capital were still speculating whether He Hanzhu really wanted to ask the President to marry the Twelve Miss tonight. To add icing to the future career, a sudden news shocked the military and political circles of the capital.

He Hanzhu came out of the Cao family to a banquet and was assassinated halfway. He escaped by chance, but the person was injured and was admitted to the hospital for surgery.

The assassin was arrested and admitted that he was assigned by Chen Gongshi.

Chen Gongshi is the vice president of the Senate, Lu Hongda's sworn brother and confidant adviser. Everyone knows this. Zhang Yijiu led the military and police directly into the Chen family's mansion in Yiwang Hutong and arrested all the backbone of the Lu Party who were gathering there.

The president was furious and called Lu Hongda. Lu Hongda received the news in advance and fled out of the capital overnight. At the same time, the two garrisons launched a small firefight in the north of the city. Although the situation was quickly controlled, the capital immediately entered martial law, and all the city gates were closed, and no one was allowed to enter and exit.

Late at night, when the people living in the north of the city were awakened by a dense sound of firecrackers like New Year's Eve, and were wondering what happened again, He Hanzhu's operation was finally completed, and under heavy protection, he returned to the Ding family garden.

When He Ma saw that he was wrapped in gauze in his arms, she was extremely worried. Before dawn, she got up to see him. When she arrived in front of his bedroom, she saw the door open and the room was empty, and he had disappeared.
