Chapter 1658: Source of Information
This person’s voice was rough and very infectious.
He Zhichu focused his attention and looked over.
He recognized that this Lieutenant General’s surna was Jin. He wasn’t a standing mber of the Military Supre Council, but an ordinary mber of the Supre Council.
Of course, the ordinary mbers of the Military Supre Council were also very impressive. At least in terms of military rank and position, they were higher than He Zhichu.
In terms of rank, He Zhichu was his subordinate, but he wasn’t a direct subordinate.
However, in the military, there was a clear distinction between the superior and the subordinate. It was most important for the subordinate to obey the superior. Therefore, He Zhichu said respectfully, “May I ask Lieutenant General Jin, what is the na of my ex-fiancée?”
Lieutenant General Jin frozen for a mont, then waved his hand unhappily and said, “How would I know the na of your ex-fiancée? Major General He, this is a place to discuss important matters related to the national economy and people’s livelihoods. Don’t bring those trivial matters of your family here.”
“That ans that Lieutenant General Jin doesn’t know the na of my ex-fiancée.” He Zhichu continued to ask seriously.
Lieutenant General Jin frowned his bold dark eyebrows. His wide nose flared unhappily and his eyes looked furious. “I said that such trivial matters don’t need to be brought up here! Does Major General He not understand my words?!”
He Zhichu was not angry. He said calmly in a calm but piercing tone, “Lieutenant General Jin, since you don’t know the na of my ex-fiancée, how did you learn from the military briefing that the person I mobilized the fighter jets to save was my ex-fiancée?”
The public report didn’t include the nas of everyone present, but the military briefing had everyone’s nas, and this briefing was placed in front of the people in the eting.
Since Lieutenant General Jin didn’t know that He Zhichu’s ex-fiancée was called Gu Nianzhi, it ant that it was impossible for him to deduce that she was He Zhichu’s ex-fiancée from the na of one of the people in the report. This also ant that his source of information wasn’t the military’s report.
That was interesting.
Lieutenant General Jin’s face darkened as he looked at He Zhichu in disbelief. He slamd the table and stood up. “What kind of attitude is this?! Do I still need to tell you my source? !”
“Of course you don’t need to tell about your source.” He Zhichu nodded slightly and said sternly, “But your accusation is groundless.”
“My ex-fiancée was one of the victims at the scene, and she wasn’t the only person I saved.”
“I also saved seventeen mbers of the Qin family and eight staff mbers of the revolving restaurant. I deployed the military task force and fighter jets, and in the end, saved the lives of twenty-six citizens.”
“Furthermore, I have the authorization of the military’s Supre Council Standing Committee. May I ask, how did I use my power for personal reasons?”
He Zhichu only began to be aggressive at this ti, “Lieutenant General Jin, although your military rank and rank are one rank higher than mine, you can’t make such serious accusations without any basis. Our military has always valued speaking with facts, and we don’t engage in ‘false pretenses’. Has Lieutenant General Jin forgotten our military’s values? Or has Lieutenant General Jin always been acting one way in front of us and another way behind our backs?”
“You’re saying that I’m a ‘two-faced person’?!” Lieutenant General Jin was so angry that his face turned red. “I’m loyal to the country and the people! I’ve never used my power for personal gain! And I’ve never acted one way in front of you or behind your back!”
“This kind of thing isn’t up to you to decide.” He Zhichu took a step back. With a stern expression, he said to General Ning, who was sitting at the side without saying a word, “General Ning, you are the highest general in charge of discipline in the army. I request that you conduct a thorough investigation on and Lieutenant General Jin!”
“A thorough investigation of what?” General Ning asked indifferently, “To investigate if you used your power for personal reaons? Or if Lieutenant General Jin is a ‘two-faced person’? !”
“Yes, sir!” He Zhichu replied loudly.
“I object!” Lieutenant General Jin was exasperated. “Today’s eting is to discuss Major General He’s problem. What has it got to do with ?”
Of course, it was impossible to investigate Lieutenant General Jin just because of this matter.
General Ning glanced at him and turned to He Zhichu. “Major General He, it seems that there is so misunderstanding between you and Lieutenant General Jin. It will be fine if you explain it clearly in front of so many people today.”
“Alright.” He Zhichu imdiately turned to Lieutenant General Jin, “I’ll say it again. Lieutenant General Jin doesn’t even know my ex-fiancée’s na, yet he’s accusing of abusing my power for her sake. I have no choice but to suspect that soone is falsely accusing , and Lieutenant General Jin is being used as a pawn.”
Lieutenant General Jin had just breathed a sigh of relief, but he was so angry that he almost vomited blood from He Zhichu’s following words.
“I, Jin Shenggao, would be used as a gun?! Aren’t you underestimating too much?” How could Lieutenant General Jin admit this in front of so many people? He Zhichu put on a stern face and said, “Don’t make excuses. Just tell why you’re not willing to publicly analyze the data at the scene. Is there sothing shaful?”
He Zhichu was silent for a mont before saying, “Lieutenant General Jin, do you still rember what the military’s confidentiality regulations are?”
Lieutenant General Jin: “...”
He frowned. “What do you an?”
“What I an is, what you said just now was like a sensationalist reporter, and people have to show you everything. If soone doesn’t show it to you, it ans that they have sothing to hide. You don’t care about the laws, discipline, and confidentiality regulations.”
He Zhichu spoke with elegance and confidence, then turned to He Chengjian and Xie Beichen, the standing committee mbers of the military supre council also said, “All of you are allowed to browse through this data analysis. If you need it, you can consult it at any ti.”
What he ant was that Lieutenant General Jin’s level of confidentiality wasn’t high enough. He simply couldn’t look at this data analysis.
It was just a level of confidentiality. Although Lieutenant General Jin’s military rank was higher than that of He Zhichu’s, their scope of work was different, so the level of confidentiality was also different.
The atmosphere in the small eting room obviously beca much more relaxed.
Xie Beichen was the pri minister, so it wasn’t convenient for him to question these big shots in the military.
But He Chengjian was different.
He was the number one mber of the Standing Committee of the Military Supre Council, and he was also the person with the highest military rank. He Zhichu was his son, and he didn’t do anything wrong, but he was not only humiliated in front of so many people, but also almost frad.
If he didn’t speak, then he wouldn’t be He Chengjian.
He Chengjian coughed and said, “Lieutenant General Jin, I also want to know who told you that Major General He used his power to mobilize the fighter jets to save his ex-fiancée?”
Just now, Lieutenant General Jin said that He Zhichu wasn’t qualified to ask him this question, but He Chengjian was different. No matter in terms of military rank or position, he was superior to Jin Shenggao.
Lieutenant General Jin could choose not to answer He Zhichu’s question, but he had to answer He Chengjian’s question.
His expression changed abruptly and he said in a deep voice, “General He, are you here to defend your son?”
He thought that He Chengjian would avoid butting in to not let people think that he was protecting his own son.
“Lieutenant General Jin, please do not change the topic,” He Zhichu said calmly, “I also have a military position. Although General He is my father, here, he is only my superior, and also your superior. You won’t answer your superior’s questions? It seems that your source of information is indeed extraordinary.”
He Chengjian raised his head and said unhappily, “What the military values the most is the unity of everyone. Lieutenant General Jin, you are not willing to reveal your source of information. Are you trying to break away to establish your own small group?”
Cold sweat dripped down Jin Shenggao’s forehead. In a mont of panic, he rembered what that person had said. Suddenly, he thought of sothing and said, “The person who told this news is a journalist. I have the right to protect my source of information!”
He Zhichu scoffed and shook his head. “I’m afraid Lieutenant General Jin is mistaken. A journalist has the right to protect his source of information. However, you aren’t a journalist. You have no right to hide your source of information. Furthermore, this news is related to .”
In the officialdom, no one can just stomach being accused of using their power for personal gain.
He Chengjian’s fingers tapped twice on the conference table. His expression was stern as he said coldly, “Lieutenant General Jin, you can either tell the source of the information, or accept the investigation.”
Lieutenant General Jin was cursing the person who sent him the information However, at this point, he had no choice but to say it.
He raised his eyes and looked at Xie Beichen. Lieutenant General Jin said reluctantly, “It’s a reporter from Miss Xie’s new dia company. She said that everyone in their company knows about this. She even said that Major General He even rejected Miss Xie’s invitation to the ballet tonight in order to save his ex-fiancée...”
Xie Beichen looked at him in shock. “Miss Xie? Which Miss Xie? There are so many people with the surna Xie. If you don’t tell us clearly, how will we know who you’re talking about?”
“... it’s Miss Xie Qingying.” General Jin’s eyes flashed with a hint of pride.
He Zhichu didn’t let him lead him by the nose, nor did he pay attention to his deliberate attempt to sow discord. He continued to ask, “Then may I ask why the reporters in Miss Xie’s company wanted to tell you?”
“You’re not in charge of military discipline, nor are you my imdiate superior, nor are you the main person in charge of this operation.”
“May I ask what is the relationship between the two of you that made her insist on reporting to you?”
