Chapter 369 Turning enemies into enemies
Li Huaide was secretly detained deep in a certain compound and was facing a severe interrogation. This secret information was eventually obtained by the Zhen family's extensive network of contacts.

At the same time, the Zhen family also investigated the truth behind Li Huaide's sudden downfall and secret isolation and investigation, and many clues were sorted out one by one.

"A useless bastard, for the sake of a rotten woman, he actually made such a powerful enemy. How unwise!" After learning the whole story, the old man was both disappointed with Li Huaide and felt a little amused.

In fact, for a family like theirs, the men's little affairs outside are just a ripple in the waves of life, not an unforgivable felony.

The bad thing was that Li Huaide, in a moment of impulse, stirred up an unnecessary dispute for a beautiful woman.

He was also careless in his actions, which led to the leakage of secrets, and his opponents saw through his moves. Instead of falling into the trap, his opponents took advantage of his own strategy and brought him down in one fell swoop.

This turmoil was caused by his infatuation with love, and he reaped the consequences.

It’s so sad and ridiculous to think about it.

Today is another family gathering of the Zhen family.

Zhen Yi frowned and said in a deep voice: "According to our in-depth investigation, the behavior of the Red Star Factory Security Department is quite strange. They actually quietly launched a secret investigation on Li Huaide a few months ago.

This makes me wonder, you said this Liu is a leader who has long left the company, how could he mobilize them to the point of risking spying on the current leader's movements? I think there must be something hidden here."

"Could it be that their investigation into Li Huaide is just a cover, and it's Xiang Zhuang's sword dance - the target is Pei Gong?"

Zhen Yi's words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. The faces of everyone at the scene instantly turned gloomy and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Could it be that this indicates that the opposing faction can no longer hold back and has taken the initiative to provoke a "war"?
Mr. Zhen has gone through many vicissitudes and hardships to achieve what he has today. Faced with the sudden tension, he hesitated for only a moment, and then his expression returned to normal, calm and reserved, showing his demeanor.

He was silent for a moment, his eyes flashed with determination, and then he declared categorically: "Impossible! Lao Li and his people are a group of pure academic old pedants, with integrity in their bones. They disdain those shady calculations. If they really want to confront us head-on, they must be open and aboveboard."

"I think that it was this young man named Liu Zhiye who planned it..." When mentioning this person, the old man did not show too much anger, but instead revealed a hint of imperceptible approval.

Zhen Yi was still skeptical and said bluntly: "How could this Liu Zhiye be so capable? Doesn't he know Li Huaide's background? Isn't he afraid of us..." His words revealed some surprise at Liu Zhiye's courage.

Old Master Zhen shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't underestimate him. He is definitely not a simple person. I have seen countless young talents, and people like him are rare."

"Take a look at this. These are just some of the information he has made public. Some of it is confidential and should not be made public."

"I want you to know that there is always someone better than you. Don't think highly of yourself just because you are nearly 36 years old and already a director-level leader.

You know the reason behind your achievements, whether it is your own strength or the support of your family. "

"You are looking at others..."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yi couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied, and curled his lips slightly. Then he resolutely grabbed the document and read it carefully, with a sharp look of inquiry in his eyes.

He thought to himself: "I want to see who this person is that can make the old man praise him so much..."

Then, Zhen Yi gradually opened his mouth wide. What did he see?
A child from an ordinary family, he graduated with excellent grades from the best high school in Beijing at the age of sixteen.

Then he gave up the opportunity to study at Peking University and resolutely followed the troops heading south to liberate all of China.

Liu Zhiye, after only one year in the army, made a name for himself with his outstanding military exploits. He was spotted by the army and selected to study at the Shishi Infantry School.

There, he displayed extraordinary military talent, completed his studies ahead of schedule in just one year, and stepped onto the front line of the war to resist Japan and aid Korea.

Starting as a brave platoon leader, he rose step by step to become company commander, battalion commander, and chief of the division's reconnaissance section. Each position witnessed his growth and brilliance.

He changed his job at the age of 24 and served as the police station chief, security section chief, security director, public security director, public security brigade captain, detachment commander, division chief of staff...

Now he is only 32 years old, has a master's degree, and is currently studying at the PLA Advanced Military Academy. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as soon as he graduates, he will definitely be promoted on the spot and has a bright future.

A division-level cadre in his early thirties? This was not the war years, Zhen Yi was a little shocked.

"Wow! Such a young military leader?"

On the side, Zhen Jiang was whispering to herself, with a bit of confusion and doubt in her tone: "Liu Zhiye, isn't he the good friend that Lao Li often has a good relationship with? Why did they come to this point, why would they have such a big fight, even to the point of fighting for life and death?" She was puzzled. How much hatred and resentment did they have between them?

"By the way, little sister, aren't you also acquainted with Liu Zhiye? I remember that you two seemed to have a pretty good relationship."

Zhen Ni chose to remain silent, but her heart was churning. When she learned that it was Liu Zhiye who secretly extended a "black hand" to Li Huaide, her heart was shocked and she almost lost control on the spot, her emotions surging in her forbearance.

"How could it be Liu Zhiye? He clearly knows the relationship between Li Huaide and our family. Could it be that he really has no feelings for us at all?"

"As the saying goes, one should give face to Buddha even if he doesn't care about the monk. He totally disregarded our feelings. Once he made up his mind, he was merciless. I wasted my sincerity and trust in him..."

Seeing Zhen Ni lowering her head and remaining silent, Zhen Jiang couldn't help but call out softly again, "Little sister, little sister?"

Zhen Ni suddenly realized what was going on and quickly asked, "Oh, oh, sister, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, Zhen Jiang frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "What's wrong with me? But you, what were you thinking about just now? You looked absent-minded."

Zhenni looked a little embarrassed, and she hesitated, "I... I'm fine, just say whatever you want to say."

Zhen Jiang glanced at her and asked bluntly, "Let me ask you, is that Liu Zhiye a close friend of yours?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of every family member present were immediately focused.

"What? My little sister actually has such a deep friendship with Liu Zhiye?"

"She has always been cold towards men, why would she be so nice to other men?"

No wonder Jenny's family was surprised. Compared to Li Huaide, they must care about Jenny more.

However, their daughter, who is about to turn 30, is still single, which undoubtedly makes Mr. Zhen, Mrs. Zhen and her brothers and sisters very anxious.

Whenever someone is introduced to her, she always praises every one she introduces. So far, no man has been able to successfully date her.

As time went by, the Zhen family gradually reached a consensus, mistakenly believing that Zhen Ni had no interest in men. It was as if she was hiding an unknown secret, and they speculated whether she had mental problems.

Now, everyone was caught off guard by a "big melon". It turns out that Jenny already has someone in her heart! Even though this person might be a member of their hostile forces, it is hard to hide the joy in everyone's hearts.

After all, this at least proves that Jenny is a normal woman with flesh and blood, but she has not yet met the right person due to fate.

The old lady smiled happily and asked directly, "Xiao Ni, tell me quickly, how did you get to know Liu Zhiye?"

Jenny drooped her eyelids, turned a deaf ear to the questions around her, and tried to get away with it by keeping silent.

However, faced with her family's irresistible curiosity, she finally hardened her heart and revealed everything about her past relationship with Liu Zhiye.

"Okay, go ahead and tell me. Anyway, we have nothing to do with each other now. That year, I signed up for the battlefield consolation group without telling my family, and I just arrived at the front line of the Northern Dynasty..."

"That was the first time I saw him. He was like a blood gourd, all over his body... He was carried into the field hospital..."

"Afterwards, he was injured several times, and I was the one who took care of him..."

"That's how we got to know each other gradually..."

"One time, Sister Ren proposed to introduce him to me as a matchmaker for the two of us, but I didn't expect that he would decline without hesitation..."

"After that, I returned home sadly. It was not until many years later when he was receiving emergency treatment in our main hospital that we met again..."

"But fate always plays tricks on people. Just when I was full of joy... when I returned home, he was already married..." When she said this, Zhen Ni's tears fell like pearls from a broken string. Her sadness seemed to penetrate every word and hit people's hearts. Hearing this, everyone in the Zhen family looked at each other and suddenly realized. No wonder, even though many good partners were carefully selected for Zhen Ni, she rejected them one by one. It turned out that she already had someone in her heart.

However, it is a pity that the man Jenny loved had already entered the palace of marriage, had children, and had a harmonious and happy family. Her feelings seemed to be destined to be a fruitless attachment from the beginning.

The old lady was concerned about her daughter, but she was helpless and didn't know how to persuade her. This little daughter had always been a very opinionated child since she was young.

She was stubborn, and once she made up her mind, she would not turn back even if she hit a wall or crossed a river. Her stubbornness and persistence were useless no matter how much people tried to persuade her. She was a person who would stick to her own way.

"Xiao Ni, why are you doing this? Why didn't you tell mom earlier? You keep stubbornly going on like this. When will it stop?"

"Who the hell is Liu Zhiye? He has caused my daughter so much trouble!"

That’s right, Master Zhen’s face was livid, and he said in a deep voice: “Who wouldn’t praise my daughter, Zhen Yan? You actually treat her as a worthless shoe, well…very well…”

Zhen Yi stood up suddenly and was about to leave angrily.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhen scolded, "What are you going to do?" He knows his son better than his father.

Zhen Yi shouted angrily: "I'm going to settle accounts with this grandson. No one has ever bullied others like him. Not only did he bully my brother-in-law, he even bullied my sister. I...I'm not done with him."

Zhen Ni was even more emotionally devastated. How could this happen? How did it get to this point?

"Brother, forget it! Why are you going to settle this with him? It was a matter of our mutual consent!"

Zhen Yi turned his head and said, "I don't care. It's his fault that my sister is sad because of him. He must pay the price for it. Don't stop me..."

"Oh, second brother, don't be impulsive..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, second brother..."

The Zhen family was suddenly in chaos.

Seeing his children in such a mess, Master Zhen was instantly filled with anger. He slammed the table and said sternly, "Don't stop him, just let him go! I warn you in advance, with your frail body, if you suffer a loss, don't expect to come back and cry."

Zhen Yi stiffened his neck and said, "If I can't beat him, I'll splatter his blood all over..."

………………

Zhen Yi ultimately failed to go as he wished. His clamor was just a bluff. If he were to face Liu Zhiye's edge alone, he might not even have the courage to try.

However, just because Zhen Yi didn't dare to cause trouble for Liu Zhiye doesn't mean Zhen Ni won't go looking for him.

On this day, Liu Zhiye was playing basketball with several older brothers from the same department on the school basketball court.

Although Liu Zhiye is not the tallest among them, his physique is outstanding, he jumps like the wind, has amazing speed, and his agility is unmatched, making him invincible and unstoppable on the green field.

The game started, with Liu Zhiye and others from the blue team serving first. The two defenders passed the ball to each other and rushed forward, and they cooperated very well.

However, the Red Team's defense was also very good, and their attack was quickly intercepted.

The defender saw that he could not attack, so he had to wander around his side, waiting for an opportunity to attack. At this time, the dribbler saw an opportunity and immediately threw the ball high into the air and passed it to Liu Zhiye in front of him.

Liu Zhiye bent down, the basketball spinning back and forth in his hands, his eyes looking for an opportunity to "break through".

Suddenly, he quickened his pace, turned left and right, broke through two layers of defense, and came to the basket.

Just like a tiger jumping up and turning to shoot, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the basket without any prejudice.

"Hahaha, good shot..." When the blue team saw that they had successfully scored, they happily hit each other's raised hands.

"Hiss! I've told you so many times that you are forbidden to have physical contact with us. You don't know how painful it is when you bump into us!" The two defensive players of the red team complained to Liu Zhiye in dissatisfaction.

Another member of the red team immediately echoed, "That's right, it felt like being hit by a raging bull. Xiao Liu, our old bones can't stand your torture. What if something happens to us?"

Liu Zhiye simply responded to everyone with his sincere smile, but his actions remained the same as before, without any change.

This move caused the older brothers to roll their eyes, and the atmosphere revealed a bit of helplessness and ridicule.

Chen Zhe threw the basketball high up and shouted, "Lao Liu dunks it!"

"Just watch!" Liu Zhiye suddenly jumped up, as fast as a cheetah, and clasped his hands together accurately in the air, catching the flying basketball steadily. He took advantage of the momentum to glide, his body almost parallel to the ground, directly under the basket. At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

Immediately afterwards, there was a thunderous slam dunk, and the basketball slammed into the basket with a whistling sound, causing an echo and drawing cheers from the surrounding audience, instantly igniting the atmosphere.

"Bang!" Without a sound, Liu Zhiye hung on the basket with one arm.

"Okay, good shot, one more..."

Liu Zhiye is top-notch in every aspect except that he is not the tallest.

He has strong explosive power, high speed and excellent wingspan, so dunking is not a difficult task for him.

Liu Zhiye's breakthroughs are impressive, as are his dunks. Often after passing his opponent, he would rush directly to the basket and slam dunk hard, shocking the opponent's center.

Even when facing the opponent's inside line, Liu Zhiye was not afraid at all. He still flew towards the basket resolutely and dunked his opponent.

Just as Liu Zhiye was leading the blue team with a thunderous force, forcing the red team members into a desperate situation, the other side was in chaos and fled like a tide, without any ability to fight back.

In this fierce battle on the basketball court, the blue team's morale was high, and every shot was accurate and deadly. The red team was defeated step by step, and the situation was out of control for a while, showing Liu Zhiye's outstanding heroic spirit.

Suddenly, a school official came from afar on a bright bicycle.

"Liu Zhiye, is Comrade Liu Zhiye here?"

Liu Zhiye heard someone calling him again, so he threw the basketball in his hand to his teammates, walked down the sidelines in a few steps, grabbed a towel, and gently wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and cheeks, his eyes revealing a bit of indifference and calmness. He tilted his head slightly and said in a steady voice: "It's me, what can I do for you?"

The school official said, "You are Comrade Liu Zhiye! It's like this, someone is looking for you in the school reception room."

When Liu Zhiye heard that someone came to the school to look for him, he couldn't help but ask, "Comrade, is the person who came to see me a man or a woman?"

The officer smiled and said, "It's a woman, and a very beautiful young woman."

Liu Zhiye was delighted when he heard this, "Could it be that my wife came to visit me?
So, he impatiently snatched the bicycle pushed by the clerk and said, "Let me borrow your bicycle first, thank you!" As he said that, he stepped on the bicycle, flew up on the spot, and flew away in a flash.

The officer was left alone, watching him walk away, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You... why are you so impatient!"

Liu Zhiye rushed to the school reception room without stopping and pushed open the door impatiently.

"Wife, I'm here..."

"Ah! How could it be you?" After Liu Zhiye pushed open the door and saw who was coming, he realized that he had misunderstood. It was actually her.

Seeing this, Zhenni twitched her lips and teased him, "Why, are you surprised? Did I disappoint you?"

Liu Zhiye was embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted his mood, put on a smile, and said lightly: "Haha, how could that be? I'm naturally very happy that you can come, I really mean it!"
