Chapter Forty-six Settling on a Plan

  Chen Yi's uncle, Chen Guoliang, was approaching middle age and served as the political commissar of the Jiangning Military Region. Although his position was not high-ranking, he held significant power and had long passed the stage where he needed protection. In fact, it was precisely because of Chen Guoliang's existence that the Chen family could continue to navigate their circumstances, or rather, it was because of this that Grandfather Chen Zhongguo could quietly step down.

  Chen Zongyu didn't know what his son wanted to do, but he still made a phone call to his older brother. Then, looking at Chen Yi who was sleeping soundly without moving, as if he had been electrocuted.

  The Lincoln car was like a yellow eel in a basin, swimming back and forth in the crowded lane, it took almost an hour for the driver to stop the car.

  The sky outside had gradually darkened, and Fang Man-yi gently shook her son awake, saying: "Your uncle's family has arrived, don't you want to say something?"

  Chen Yi Xian held up the bottle in his hand and took a big gulp of the energy recovery potion, then said: "There's someone cheating on the exam."

  "Hmm?" Both of them remained expressionless.

  "He Fuhang's nephew, He Tao, may have also cheated. Using very small earpieces, possibly military-grade earpieces." Chen Yi gestured and said: "I guess it's possible that the proctors themselves were cheating, using military-grade earpieces to cheat collectively, involving hundreds of people."

  He didn't pour everything out all at once.

  Although the words were unclear, Chen Congyu and Fang Man were both secretly shocked. This matter could be big or small, originally not worth putting in mind, but if it was related to He Fuhan, then it might not be a counterattack move, because of his special identity. The two couldn't help but say in unison: "How did you know?"

  "This time it's simply a wall full of wind, and when I saw my uncle, we said it together." Chen Yi hurriedly got off the bus.

  Chen Guoliang personally welcomed the family of three at the door, especially to Chen Yixiao: "I heard that you did well in the exam, do you have confidence tomorrow?"

  "No surprise, Jiangning University is no problem, good luck can choose a major." Chen Yixin said with his mouth, after entering the door, he repeated what he had just said again, and then said: "I have a friend who got a pair of earphones, only as big as a grain of rice, which can transmit several kilometers in shielding state, absolutely high-tech, not folk technology."

  "Oh... who gave it to him?" Chen Guoliang's smile, which had been hinting at amusement, suddenly froze. The grain-sized earpiece was something he had seen before, but only seen. In the army where he was, they didn't need such cutting-edge espionage equipment yet. But this also explained that the event in front of him was indeed closely related to the military.

  When talking politics, Chen Guoliang has the demeanor and elegance of a politician, but when it comes to his beloved army, his tolerance drops rapidly. It's like dolphins in an aquarium and in the ocean require different skills. A good dolphin must be able to eat fish and balance balls, and also pretend to be a whale or a goldfish.

  Chen Guoliang came into contact with the army, just like a dolphin coming into contact with saltwater, his feeding nature was revealed.

  However, his intimidating gaze did not change Chen Yi's mind, and the latter shook his head slightly: "It involves my friends, this part can't be said."

  "Chen Yi, what are you hiding now..." Old Dad couldn't help but say a sentence and was pulled back by Chen's mother.

  When Chen Guoliang put on a serious face, he was guaranteed to be majestic as a general. He didn't say a word, but still brought tremendous pressure.

  Chen Yi stubbornly withstood it and said: "I can't tell you about the friend's name and other information, but this doesn't affect the specific matter."

  "What I've found out." Chen Guoliang didn't get angry, but instead hid his curiosity under a stern expression.

  Chen Yi shook his head and said: "The college entrance examination is a total of two days, what are you wasting your time on? I can provide a list of students who use earphones."

  "Oh?"

  "You don't have to wait until the students come out of the examination room to check either." Chen Yi said, rubbing his fingers: "No matter how high-end the earphones are, if someone crushes them for you, you won't be able to find them anywhere. I'll directly give you the list, and you can catch them in the act on the spot."

  Chen Guoliang looked at his third brother and smiled without saying a word.

  "Ai, speak nicely with Uncle." Chen Zongyu indeed spoke up.

  Negotiating with family members is not good in this way. Chen Yi was helpless, the parents were all Communist Party members, you talk to him about affection, he says to talk about principles; you talk to him about principles, he says I am your father.

  Chen Yi rubbed his nose, focusing on the goal, and said: "I think it's essential to catch He Tao on the spot, and it's best when the exam is about to end. As for the person who sent the message, it's not that important."

  "Oh, why? That's not enough to justify his actions?" The elder seemed to be testing him.

  "If it were you who came forward, the reason for catching him would absolutely not be cheating on the college entrance exam." Chen Yi said with a smile, "Whether or not to use earphones to cheat, the result is the same, canceling this test score and recording it in the file. No matter how big it is, it has nothing to do with He Fuhan's body. They are uncle and nephew after all, not father and son. Wouldn't that lose its meaning? The reason you came forward is that someone privately sold military equipment. In that case, the He family should at least think of a way to eliminate the disaster first, rather than attacking us."

  Chen Yi said as he thought that when the time comes, he must let Fatso destroy those cursed headphones first, at least not to implicate him.

  "Too risky, too much impact." Chen Guoliang listened to him finish, smiled and said: "Thoughts are still quite comprehensive, just a bit simple."

  He pointed at Chen Yi with his finger and said, "This matter can be handled by the military, but it's better if the government takes charge. You have to understand that the regular route is always the most destructive. It's precisely because of its destructiveness that it's difficult to navigate."

  Chen Guoliang paused for a moment, then continued in an educational tone: "What you said about the list doesn't need to be done. Do we have to catch all the cheating students? Not only would that offend many people, but it would also hinder their future prospects. We just need to confirm whether He Fuhan's nephew and his favorite disciples are on the list. Nowadays, every family has only one child, and if something happens to that child, the whole family will be worried."

  A word, an arrangement, can be said to be seamless.

  Chen Congyu praised: "Not bad, this reduces the attack surface, He Fuhan will be worried sick."

  "But how can you command the government?" Chen Yi asked.

  "The political commissar of the local military district, and also a standing committee member locally." Chen Guoliang chuckled: "Our family has been in Jiangning for so many years, after things are over, I can naturally bring it up to the Standing Committee again. Although it's just a show of hands at the Standing Committee, that's still the Standing Committee. He Fuhan is the government's big boss, let him handle it himself."

  Chen Yi Ting was stunned. He had never thought that there would be so many twists and turns. Shaking his head, he said: "It's better to make the exam simpler. You remember to fulfill your promise, don't investigate my friend."

  "Actually, no need to investigate, how many friends do you have? Worth maintaining like this, ten or eight is already remarkable." Chen Guoliang said with a smile, "If I want to investigate, I'll have the information on my desk in 10 minutes."

  Chen Yi wiped away his sweat and said: "You promise not to affect my classmates."

  "It's nothing." The old man chuckled and waved his hand, his previous official demeanor gone.

  "Let's head back after we're done talking, we still have exams tomorrow."

  Chen Guoliang sent a few people off again, smiling: "Your sister-in-law is also on a business trip today, so I won't keep you. Chen Yi did well on the exam and performed quite well. However, finding earphones and things like that, don't bother with it."

  Since he already had a plan, Chen Yi didn't care about it. He rubbed his nose bridge and yawned, saying: "I'm going back to the carriage to sleep. Don't wake me up tonight, see you tomorrow morning."

  Forget it, regardless of what his parents thought, Chen Yi really got back on the bus and fell fast asleep.
