Cai Songyin could also use this opportunity to assess Huo Shaoheng's feelings for Gu Nianzhi from his subsequent actions.
Otherwise, his daughter's unrequited love might be for naught.
The more Cai Songyin thought about it, the more she felt that this was a great idea. It was like killing three birds with one stone. Not only would they be able to save Tan Dongbang from danger, but they would also be able to drag Gu Nianzhi down with them. Huo Shaoheng would also be involved, so their losses would not be too great …
By the time they returned to the Prime Minister's official residence, Cai Songyin had already thought through everything.
When she video-called Cai Sumin, Cai Songyin was alone in the study and told him the truth. She explained the entire sequence of events and the freak combination of circumstances.
Cai Sumin was so angry on the other side of the ocean that his veins were about to explode …
"Songyin, Songyin, how could you think of such a lousy move that harms others without benefiting yourself!"
If they weren't separated by the entire Pacific Ocean, Cai Sumin would've picked up a stick and viciously beat Cai Songyin.
What an idiot!
"What's so good about Huo Shaoheng? Is it worth it for you to take such a huge risk?! "Cai Susumin was exasperated that Cai Susumin didn't live up to his expectations and reprimanded Cai Songyin again and again.
Cai Songyin didn't retort. She just quietly waited for Cai Sumin to finish scolding before saying quietly, "If we're talking about talent, Little Darling's taste isn't bad. If Huo Shaoheng can be my son-in-law, even if Dongbang doesn't become the Prime Minister in the future, it would be enough for our family to have a son-in-law. "
"Even if he's so good, why does he have to use such a stupid method?" Cai Sumin looked down on idiots the most. They could be bad, they could be poisonous, they could be despicable, but they couldn't be stupid.
"Do you think I want to?" Cai Songyin wasn't happy either. "Your niece likes him wholeheartedly, but coincidentally, Huo Shaoheng also has an ex-girlfriend who's procrastinating. Although they said they broke up, I see that the two of them are still in love. If my daughter marries him, she'll be disgusted by that woman for the rest of her life."
Therefore, she acted as the bad guy and helped her daughter get rid of this disaster first.
Cai Sumin furrowed his brows. "Then you can have someone write that kind of article to defame her? Aren't you afraid of arousing a man's desire to protect her and making it harder for him to let her go? "
Cai Songyin froze. "What did you say?"
Cai Sumin rubbed his temples with a headache. "Songyin, you're not stupid. You just don't understand how men think. It's only because Dongbang was your childhood sweetheart and gave in to you that you think you can do whatever you want. "
"Big brother, who are you siding with?!" Cai Songyin stood up angrily. "Tan Dongbang cheated on his wife and fooled around with another woman. I still can't forgive him! What man's mind? It's all bullshit! "
"Alright, alright. Little Sister, don't be agitated. Of course, Big Brother will help you and stand on your side." Cai Sumin saw that Cai Songyin was anxious, so he used the nickname he used when they were young to coax her.
Cai Songyin hadn't heard her brother coax her like this in a long time, and her eyes couldn't help turning red.
Ever since she had married Tan Dongbang, she, the beloved youngest daughter of the family, had become the backbone of the Tan family and shouldered the family's burden.
It wasn't that it wasn't hard, it wasn't that it wasn't sad.
However, she didn't have a way out. Tan Dongbang was the man she had cried about marrying all those years ago, and the Cai family had all agreed to it. Only her eldest brother, Cai Sumin, had disagreed. He said that Tan Dongbang was petty and solicitous. He only did superficial work, but he didn't take responsibility. He was afraid that she would have a harder time in the future.
However, Cai Songyin felt that she had the support of the Tan and Cai families, so how hard could it be?
Moreover, she was willing to be a strong woman and run her own company so that the business would flourish.
However, in the middle of the night, when she felt tired, she still hoped to have a pair of strong arms to rely on instead of being someone else's support.
This was also why she spoiled her daughter, Tan Guiren, and wanted to fulfill her wish of marrying Huo Shaoheng.
Cai Songyin felt that Huo Shaoheng was the kind of man that women could rely on for a lifetime.
She would only be at ease if her daughter married him.
Because her daughter definitely wasn't someone who could rely on herself to support a family.
Only Huo Shaoheng's status and ability could allow her daughter to continue living a pampered and spoiled life.
She spoiled her daughter into a naive and innocent girl because she didn't want her daughter to be like her and struggle to support a family in the future and become someone else's backbone …
"Big Brother … I was wrong." Cai Songyin choked up as she admitted defeat. "Help me!"
Cai Sumin's heart also softened. "I know. Of course I will help you. You just have to tell Big Brother the truth, and Big Brother will help you think of a solution. "
Cai Songyin nodded profusely and immediately explained her previous plans in detail.
Cai Sumin listened calmly and felt that it was rather troublesome because Cai Songyin's plan was actually quite meticulous and effective.
Even if he made the plan himself, he wouldn't be much older than this.
However, such a bold and imaginative plan had kicked an iron plate and was even used by someone to turn the tables on him. The person behind this was truly too terrifying.
Cai Sumin had been a lawyer for over 30 years, yet he had never seen such a cunning criminal that was practically impossible to find.
At this time, he completely forgot that his sister, Cai Songyin, was the instigator of the entire case.
It was only because she failed that she became a victim.
Cai Songyin saw that Cai Sumin didn't speak for a long time and was a bit flustered. She said uneasily, "Big Brother, can you not tell Shengnan some things?"
Because it was quite embarrassing, she couldn't lose her dignity as an elder in front of Cai Shengnan.
Cai Sumin nodded. "I know. This case is rather complicated. I plan to personally return to the Hua Xia Empire and guide Shengnan in this lawsuit. I'm telling you, don't be soft-hearted. This original blogger can't produce evidence that it's related to you, so you must sue him. In order to clear your name and Dongbang's name, for your position, this blogger must be the scapegoat. "
"Big Brother wants to return to the Hua Xia Empire?! That's great! "Cai Songyin truly sighed in relief." I'll listen to you! I'll sue whoever you say I want to sue, and I'll fight the lawsuit however you say I want to! "
She knew that even if Cai Sumin returned to the Hua Xia Empire, he wouldn't personally help her with the lawsuit because he was now an American citizen and needed to avoid arousing suspicion.
However, Cai Shengnan was different. She was still a Hua Xia Empire citizen and could completely help them with the lawsuit.
And Cai Sumin could guide Cai Shengnan behind the scenes.
With Cai Sumin, they would definitely be able to overcome this crisis!
…
It was one o 'clock in the morning on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.
Gu Nianzhi was still awake as she laid on the bed with her phone in hand. She admired the "bloody storm" she had single-handedly caused. She casually used an anonymous account to start a petition on Weibo and tagged the official accounts of the Senate, Cabinet, and military.
# Prime Minister Tan Dongbang who had an affair with a Japanese spy must step down!!! #
Although it was already late at night, there were still many active people on Weibo.
As soon as the petition was started, it immediately received countless responses from netizens. Some people even reposted the petition link to major forums outside of Weibo. The moderator pinned it to make it easier for people to click on the link and vote.
Although the petition had no legal effect, it was the same as what Cai Songyin liked to do. It was also public opinion.
The Prime Minister was elected, so he couldn't ignore public opinion.
Also, Gu Nianzhi had restored the original version of the video and uploaded it online. How could Tan Dongbang continue to be Prime Minister like that?
If Tan Dongbang didn't admit his mistake and resign, Gu Nianzhi didn't mind sending him on his way and forcing him to step down.
During the last impeachment case, Gu Nianzhi held back and didn't make a move because she felt that although she had disagreements with the Tans, it hadn't reached the level of a deep hatred. As long as she achieved her goal of dealing with Gu Yanran, and Tan Dongbang had already become the Prime Minister who was impeached as soon as he took office, there was no need to be ruthless. It was enough to teach him a lesson.
She didn't expect that in a moment of soft-heartedness, Tan Dongbang, Cai Songyin, and Tan Guiren would actually think otherwise.
To be honest, Gu Nianzhi had been suppressing her anger ever since she saw Huo Shaoheng take Tan Guiren off the plane with Tan Dongbang, Cai Songyin, and Tan Guiren's family.
They had used their high and mighty positions to use all sorts of methods to destroy her love, destroy her faith, and now they wanted to erase her personality and dignity!
A warrior could be killed, but not humiliated.
This time, they had touched her bottom line, and Gu Nianzhi knew she had nowhere to retreat.
She had the courage and valiance that had been cultivated from following Huo Shaoheng for so many years.
This was the quality that a qualified soldier should have.
She had spent her entire adolescence with these iron-blooded soldiers, so it was inevitable that she would be subtly influenced by them.
She thought that if Cai Songyin and Tan Dongbang still refused to admit their mistakes and resign, and still wanted to fight a lawsuit to create public opinion, she would definitely accompany them to the end this time.
Scrolling through her phone, Gu Nianzhi saw that the number of votes for her petition was steadily increasing. She yawned and placed her phone next to her pillow, planning to sleep.
At that moment, Huo Shaoheng's private car had just stopped in front of his official residence.
"Hello, Chief!"
The guards at the entrance of the official residence immediately saluted Huo Shaoheng as he got out of the car.
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
He strolled into his official residence.
He had been gone for half a month. Although he had often gone on missions in the past, he had never been as eager to return as he was now.
Huo Shaoheng walked into the entryway and looked at the brightly lit foyer. He passed through the living room and walked towards the spiral staircase. Gu Nianzhi and his room were on the second floor.
He stood in front of Gu Nianzhi's door for a while and saw that the lights inside had already dimmed. He decided to go back to take a shower and change his clothes before visiting her.
He had been at the grassroots level for more than ten days. Although he showered and changed his clothes every day, he always felt travel-worn after such a long journey.
He quickly took a shower in the bathroom and came out. Huo Shaoheng changed into a clean long black T-shirt and camouflage military pants before going to Gu Nianzhi's suite.
There was always a dim yellow night light in her bedroom.
Huo Shaoheng came to stand in front of her bed and didn't say anything when Gu Nianzhi suddenly opened her eyes.
Huo Shaoheng thought she was awake, but she only glanced at him. Her gaze was unfocused as she mumbled, "I'm dreaming again …" Then she turned over and went back to sleep.
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
His hard and cold heart suddenly softened to an unbelievable degree.
