Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 799 Preparing for the Impending Retaliation!
Jia Dongming stayed at the steel rolling mill hoping to weather the storm of the next ten years peacefully. However, to his surprise, the Zhao family had been plotting revenge against him for six years because of Chen Weizhong's affair.

Having lived two lives, Jia Dongming knew very well that since the Zhao family had already begun to implement their revenge plan, their plan would definitely not be abandoned just because the investigation team left. He believed that the Zhao family must have other tricks up their sleeves, so he had to strike first and eliminate the Zhao family before they could carry out their second step of revenge.

After having this thought, Jia Dongming immediately communicated with the system through his consciousness, and transferred some of the simulated humans he had obtained from signing in to the system over the years from Hong Kong back to begin implementing his revenge plan against the Zhao family.

After issuing the order to the system, Jia Dongming thought of the spies that the Zhao family had planted in their security department. According to the contents of the whistleblower letter, after Lu Zhonghua was transferred to the security department, he should have started to secretly collect evidence against him according to the instructions of the Zhao family. Thinking of the contents of the whistleblower letter, Jia Dongming recalled the yellow croakers they had secretly kept over the years, as well as the matter of using yellow croakers to purchase supplies.

Upon recalling this matter, Jia Dongming's brows furrowed immediately. He then stood up from his desk, strode outside the office, and called out to the office next door, "Xiao Liu! Go to the logistics department and call Zhang Guoping over here."

Xiao Liu, who was sitting in the next office, heard Jia Dongming's instructions and immediately responded respectfully. Then he walked out of the office and quickly headed towards the logistics department's office.

A few minutes later, Zhang Guoping, having received the notification, quickly arrived at Jia Dongming's office door. He saw Jia Dongming sitting at his desk, knocked on the door, and asked with a smile, "Director! I heard from Xiao Liu that you wanted to see me."

Upon seeing Zhang Guoping enter the office, Jia Dongming immediately instructed him, "Guoping! Close the office door behind you. I have something important to discuss with you."

When Zhang Guoping heard Jia Dongming's instructions, he was visibly taken aback. He realized that Jia Dongming must have something very important to tell him, otherwise he would never have asked him to close the door.

Following Jia Dongming's instructions, Zhang Guoping closed the office door before walking to Jia Dongming's desk and respectfully asking, "Director! What can I do for you?"

Upon hearing Zhang Guoping's question, Jia Dongming pointed to the chair opposite the desk. After Zhang Guoping sat down, Jia Dongming said to him, "Guoping! According to the whistleblower's report provided by the investigation team, the whistleblower knows the exact amount of welfare benefits distributed by our security department over the years. Who do you think this whistleblower is?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Zhang Guoping's previously puzzled expression turned blank. He subconsciously shook his head and replied, "Director! I don't know who this whistleblower is, but the fact that they know so much about the amount of welfare we distribute makes me suspect that the whistleblower is someone within our organization. So I already arranged for people to investigate this matter secretly yesterday."

Upon hearing Zhang Guoping's reply and learning that the other party had already arranged for an investigation, Jia Dongming's face showed approval, and he said in a very serious tone, "Guoping! You don't need to arrange for anyone to investigate this matter anymore, because I already know who reported us?"

"Chief! Who is this traitor? Tell me, I'll skin him alive!" Zhang Guoping, hearing Jia Dongming's reply and realizing Jia Dongming had uncovered the informant's identity, angrily questioned him. Sensing Zhang Guoping's anger, Jia Dongming calmly replied, "This person is Lu Zhonghua, the captain of the Second Brigade of the Patrol Section!"

"Director! What did you say? The person who wrote the whistleblower letter is Lu Zhonghua from the patrol section? Is that true?" Zhang Guoping's face showed an incredulous expression when he heard Jia Dongming reveal the name of the whistleblower, and he quickly asked Jia Dongming to confirm the news.

Upon hearing Zhang Guoping's question and seeing his reaction, Jia Dongming nodded firmly and said to Zhang Guoping with great certainty, "Guoping! This is absolutely true."

“Although it is an indisputable fact that we violated regulations by distributing welfare benefits beyond the standard, we did not seek any personal gain from it. Even if our superiors want to hold us accountable, we will at most receive a disciplinary action. However, there is one thing we must take seriously, otherwise it will not be as simple as a disciplinary action.”

Upon confirming that the whistleblower was indeed Lu Zhonghua, Zhang Guoping recalled the numerous times Lu Zhonghua had invited him to dinner over the years. Hearing Jia Dongming's words, a sense of foreboding rose in Zhang Guoping's heart, and he immediately asked Jia Dongming, "Director! What are you referring to?"

Upon hearing Zhang Guoping's question, and recalling the yellow croakers they had secretly withheld for the purpose of procuring supplies, Jia Dongming asked Zhang Guoping with a serious expression, "Guoping! You are the head of the logistics department. You should know better than anyone how our procurement funds came about. So, what I want to confirm now is: how many operations have Lu Zhonghua participated in over the years when we raided casinos and the black market? Does he know that we secretly withheld some yellow croakers?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Zhang Guoping thought carefully for a long time before reporting to Jia Dongming with a solemn expression: "Chief! In the past six years, we have raided a total of three casinos and four black markets. The patrol section should have participated in five of them. As for how many operations Lu Zhonghua participated in, we'll have to ask Ye Tian."

As Zhang Guoping finished his report, he remembered how Lu Zhonghua had once taken advantage of Zhang's drunkenness to inquire about the source of funds for purchasing supplies. A hesitant expression appeared on his face, and he guiltily reported to Jia Dongming, "Director! Over the years, Lu Zhonghua has invited me to dinner several times. I accepted his invitations because we are all colleagues in the same unit."

“Lu Zhonghua asked me many times where we purchased so many supplies, and also asked me about the prices of these supplies, and how our department had so much money to purchase supplies. At the time, I asked him why he suddenly asked this question. He told me that a comrade-in-arms was in charge of procurement at the Light Industry Bureau, so he thought he would ask for help.”

Upon hearing Zhang Guoping's report and seeing Zhang Guoping's guilty expression, Jia Dongming immediately asked Zhang Guoping, "Guoping! What did you tell Lu Zhonghua?"
